After learning the news from Gu Jiahui, Zhang Caixin decisively issued a gag order—Ma Sanniang was not to hear a word of it.
Everyone was familiar with time not moving. The Boss had suddenly vanished, and there were only two possibilities.
The first was that the Boss had returned from over there and gone off wandering somewhere again. After all, he had often disappeared without a trace before.
But everyone vaguely felt that possibility was unlikely. If the Boss had returned, then he must have succeeded in Core Embrace. With such tremendous news, would he really go running around before announcing it?
The second possibility was extremely terrible, so terrible that no one even wanted to consider it—when the Boss went over there, time did not move here. But if... he was no longer around?
If Feng Jun had fallen in the Kunhao Plane, then time not moving would be meaningless. Once time started moving here, would they still be able to see the fallen Feng Jun?
