By the Jinshui River, Changrui Dock.
The Startling Swan Gang's large ship was moored steadily at the dock, like a peninsula extending from the riverbank.
Within Startling Swan Hall, atop the pavilion.
Jin Wuduan listened to his subordinate's report with an unpleasant expression.
"Hall Master Zhuo, along with his entourage of over ten people, has vanished."
"The ship they were on is more than half destroyed, docked midway along the riverbank."
"The crew scattered, whereabouts unknown."
Jin Wuduan slammed the table fiercely, "How audacious, to lay hands on a hall master of my Startling Swan Gang!"
"Send the order down, search along the river, I must find Hall Master Zhuo. I want to see him alive, or his corpse if he is dead."
"Also, notify Li Jun. This happened in his jurisdiction, if he doesn't give me an explanation, he can forget about being the hall master of Lijiang!"
"Yes!" The subordinate shivered as he left—he had never seen the gang leader so furious.
