"But..."
"Enough, there are no 'buts.' If something unexpected really happened to Ye Chen, I can't afford to have you get into trouble as well. As it stands, I can't just disregard the safety of two lives."
"Old Master, you must help him. You have to find a way to help him, do you understand?"
Li Fu was truly anxious.
Having Ye Chen by his side for so many years, a strong bond had already formed between them; he thought of Ye Chen as his own child.
Now, with his own "child" trapped in danger, which parent wouldn't be worried?
Before the Old Master could reply, the phone suddenly rang. The Old Master picked it up and after a quick glance, he put it to his ear.
"Hello, how is it going?"
"Old Master, their people must have received some news, they are all retreating now."
"Good, this was within our expectations, all of them have retreated, have they?"
