"Fourth Brother, if it really was that group, could Third Brother be in danger? Though Lü Yue and I previously guessed that Third Brother might have escaped while Seven Star Tower was fighting the attackers, after piecing together all the information, it seems far more likely that he was captured by them."
Meng Chuan and Lü Yue had already understood that the only one who could have escaped was the surviving member of Seven Star Tower. Meng Yan, in all likelihood, had been captured by the attackers; the chance that he had escaped was minuscule. They had searched the surrounding area and found no clues or information left behind by Meng Yan.
The only reliable lead was that there was a room in this residence reserved for Meng Yan.
Perhaps he had left some traces behind while passing the time, such as wooden carvings made with a knife, as well as a bamboo flute Meng Chuan recognized well, one personally crafted by Meng Yan. All of them were signs that Meng Yan had once lived here.
Other than that, according to the examination conducted by an experienced constable retired from the authorities, whom Meng Zhao had brought along, there was an eighty percent chance that Meng Yan had been subdued by some method, brought under control, and then taken away.
"Rest assured. That group could kill people from Seven Star Tower, so naturally they could kill Meng Yan too. The reason they did not kill him, but took him away instead, must be because they had a use for him. Either they intend to scheme against the Southern An Meng Family, or against me. So Meng Yan should be safe for the time being."
But Meng Zhao left one thing unsaid: safe for the time being did not mean safe
