Qiu Yiming was cultivating in the practice room, yet inexplicably, his heart grew restless, as if he had utterly lost something crucial, making it impossible for him to concentrate on his cultivation. Follow current novᴇls on novel⚑fire.net Suddenly thinking of something, his expression changed instantly, and he vanished from the practice room. The room was converted from the basement, designed not only for perfect soundproofing but also equipped with signal-blocking devices to prevent disturbance during cultivation. As soon as he stepped out, he found no trace of Fang Mengyao in the villa. Where had this woman run off to again? A stranded figure flashed through his mind, making his heart grow even more uneasy. He immediately summoned a trusted aide and asked in a deep voice, "Do you know where Fang Mengyao went?" Though the man was Qiu Yiming’s confidant, he had no clue about the sincerity of Qiu Yiming’s feelings for Fang Mengyao. Hearing this, he assumed Qiu Yiming was missing her. He secretly thought that Miss Fang indeed had great charm; even the cold squad leader couldn’t bear to be separated from her. However, he obediently replied, "Miss Fang went out, saying she was worried about the zombie group gathering and wanted to check it out." Qiu Yiming noticed the man showing admiration, seemingly regarding Fang Mengyao with high esteem, and he sneered inwardly, thinking this guy might seem smart, but was actually quite naive. Did he not know Fang Mengyao’s true capabilities? Yet these people seemed blind, treating her as a kind-hearted and beautiful savior. The disheveled image in his mind became clearer, while his heart grew increasingly restless and uneasy. He even pressed a hand against his chest, asking impatiently, "Do you know where outside the city she went?" His expression looked frightening, and the aura he inadvertently emitted made the trusted aide tense up, struggling to breathe. The aide looked at Qiu Yiming anxiously, his face pale, asking with difficulty, "Squa... Squad leader, what’s wrong?" Qiu Yiming grew agitated, grabbing the aide’s collar forcefully, his face contorted as he said, "Tell me quickly! Where exactly did Fang Mengyao go?" The aide felt even worse, noticing Qiu Yiming was not acting usually, yet dared not show any dissatisfaction, or inquire about his madness. He could only hide his confusion, saying with difficulty, "I... I don’t know..." Upon hearing this, Qiu Yiming felt as if struck by lightning, a strong sense of panic inexplicably rising in his heart. He threw aside the aide, drove straight to the base’s gate, and only after asking twice did he find the door Fang Mengyao left through. Before heading out, a flash of insight crossed his mind, and he quickly asked the guard at the door, "Did... did Fang Yuxin also go out through this door?" The guard was surprised, never expecting Qiu Yiming would ask about Fang Yuxin, a woman notorious for her reputation. Over the past year, due to Fang Mengyao’s covert manipulations, the Fang Family’s name was infamous within the base. Everyone knew the Fang Group was a ruthless enterprise, Fang Jintang a publicity-seeking ruthless businessman, Qu Qianhe the home-wrecking, malicious stepmother, Fang Yuyang a perverted child lover, and Fang Yuxin frequently bullied her sister Fang Mengyao, stealing her possessions and even attempting to harm her multiple times. These rumors were deliberately spread by Fang Mengyao. With her now powerful abilities, not only possessing space superpowers but also abundant resources, countless individuals at the base sought to ingratiate themselves with her. Naturally, whatever she said was considered truth, and they would even deliberately assist in spreading these rumors, turning the Fang Family members into universally despised street mice! Thinking of Fang Yuxin’s reputation, the guard showed some disdain, even casting a suspicious glance at Qiu Yiming. That look seemed to suggest some illicit connection between Qiu Yiming and Fang Yuxin. Witnessing this, Qiu Yiming felt a sudden surge of intense anger! Others might not know Fang Mengyao’s true origins, but how could he not? Her deliberate spread of rumors to tarnish the Fang Family was excessively malicious, yet the people at the base seemed utterly clueless, blindly believing her every word! Recalling Fang Yuxin’s experiences over the past year, Qiu Yiming felt both anger and heartache, alongside some guilt. Though Fang Mengyao deliberately acted behind his back, he was not entirely unaware but just didn’t stop it. He was helpless too, as the matters Fang Mengyao controlled were akin to holding his life force. Without absolute confidence to secure those things, he dared not act against Fang Mengyao.
