"Old Commander!"
Inside the City Defense Army barracks in Flowing Cloud City, Yang Ling received another call from Liu Yuan and immediately grew tense.
"Yang Ling, an armed squad will enter Flowing Cloud City shortly. Don't intercept them. Then seal off the entire city. Whatever they do, don't interfere. Understood?"
"Yes! I'll see it done!"
After hanging up, Liu Yuan called the Flowing Cloud City Patrol Division again.
Although the Patrol Division did not fall under the Northern Territory Theater's jurisdiction, its director had retired from the Northern Territory Theater and could be considered one of Liu Yuan's former subordinates.
"Old Commander, we've found the information. That phone number belongs to someone named Chu Yingying. Her parents were servants of the Ning Family, but they left with the family's eldest young lady eight years ago..."
"Cut the nonsense and get to the point. Have you found her?"
"Not yet."
"Find her immediately. Remember, she must not come to any harm. Kill anyone who gives her trouble. Understood?"
The director of the Flowing Cloud City Patrol Division was visibly stunned by Liu Yuan's words, but quickly recovered. "Understood!"
After hanging up, Liu Yuan looked toward Zhao Su, all his earlier commanding presence gone.
Still, he said nothing more.
At that moment, neither man needed to spell anything out.
About half an hour later, Yang Ling called Liu Yuan back. "Commander, the squad you mentioned has entered Flowing Cloud City. They seem to be heading toward the Wang Family. Are we taking action against them?"
"That's none of your concern. Remember to seal off the entire Flowing Cloud City. The City Defense Army is conducting a drill today, and your men must give the same explanation!"
"Yes!"
Ring, ring, ring!
Just then, Zhao Su's phone rang as well. It was Zhang Ying.
