Gu Beicheng had everyone temporarily stop the search in the fifth hour after Yu Wanqing's disappearance.
At this time, it was already past midnight.
The storm had abated slightly, but seeing the lightning in the distant sky, the next bout of stormy weather could possibly arrive very soon.
"Take a seat here." Gu Lingqian urged Xia Yinian to sit in the chair as he strode towards Gu Beicheng amidst the crowd.
Silence enveloped the group, and being a distance away, Xia Yinian couldn't make out what they were discussing.
Soon, Gu Lingqian returned, looking at her: "Let's go back to rest for now, and we'll continue searching when we're certain the storms won't return."
Xia Yinian knew this must've been Gu Beicheng's idea. Though rational, she guessed that if Yu Wanqing knew the decision came from Gu Beicheng, she would be heartbroken to death.
