After hearing Wang Yue's explanation and seeing how serious Fang Duobing looked, Lu Jianchi finally began to believe it. Looking somewhat dejected, he said, "I know Brother Jin probably isn't at the Women's Residence. I've spent all these years searching everywhere, holding on to hope. I've been to who knows how many places, but I also know the chances are slim."
Seeing how deeply Lu Jianchi cared about his brother, Wang Yue was moved. But to be safe, he still probed, "There's a village called Shishou Village near Hunyuan Lake. They say there's a wine there that can increase a person's power, called Gentle Heart Brew. Since Jin Youdao is your best friend, I imagine he'd go looking for it if he heard the rumor, just to help you. When we have time, let's go take a look together. We might find some clues there."
Lu Jianchi grew excited at Wang Yue's words. "You mean the kind of wine that can increase a person's power? Isn't that just a rumor? I've drunk countless wines. How could there be one that really increases your power?"
Seeing how excited Lu Jianchi was, Fang Duobing asked suspiciously, "Why are you so excited? Do you want to increase your power?"
Wang Yue was speechless. "He's just excited because there might be news of his friend. What kind of nonsense are you thinking?"
Lu Jianchi hurriedly nodded, visibly excited. "That's right! I'm going to Shitou Village now! How could I have forgotten that possibility? If Brother Jin heard about this, he'd surely go and investigate!"
Hearing that, Fang Duobing quickly urged him, "Why don't you wait until we've met the people here, then go with me? If Jin Youdao really disappeared after going to Shishou Village, it'll be too dangerous for you to go alone.
