It was still the desire to say a word to defuse the tension that calmed down the two who were about to come to blows.
Furrowing their brows, they glanced at each other and then angrily turned away separately.
Just as Xu Ye had said, they sent out search and rescue teams, but for several days, they found no trace of Ji Yao.
This naturally caused everyone to become increasingly anxious.
Although the three of them did meet afterward, it was basically just to ask if there had been any news about Ji Yao, and upon receiving a negative reply, they fell silent one after another.
Nobody voiced the speculation in their hearts.
Under such harsh conditions, after so many days of searching, it was very likely that something had happened.
But it wasn't certain, for perhaps Ji Yao had already reached a village, and there might still be a glimmer of hope.
So, Lu Jincheng pinned his last hope on the village.
