"I'm puzzled by this as well, of course."
Yan Haifeng waved his hand and walked toward the garden. It was unclear if he was speaking to the old butler or to himself. "But there's always someone stronger out there. We can't rule out the possibility that the three of them ran into some kind of trouble in Central State."
"Patriarch, why don't we send someone to investigate now?" the old butler asked.
Yan Haifeng shook his head coldly. "Since Du'Er will be back before dark, let's not stir up any unnecessary trouble for now."
"Very well. We can make our plans after Young Master Yan Duo returns." The old butler nodded and slowly backed away. "Patriarch, I'll go and get the Second Master."
"Go on."
Yan Haifeng waved his hand and walked alone through the quiet rear garden.
The incident with Yan Duo and the "unexplained disappearance" of his three younger brothers weighed heavily on his mind.
