Jiang Che's expression was calm as he shook his head. "Dean Hui Feng, I tracked them the whole way but only saw You Honglang and his servant holding Junior Sister Tang hostage. I didn't see any sign of Senior Brother Xie. Perhaps... he went in a different direction to call for reinforcements?"
'I handled it cleanly,' he thought to himself. 'No one should be able to find any clues.'
'Even if Xie Xingwen never shows up, the blame can easily be pinned on You Honglang.'
'They could say he was hunted down and killed by You Honglang and his servant.'
'After all, they had a blood feud from their clan's extermination. Taking him hostage for revenge would be perfectly logical.'
Feng Zhuyun nodded at his words.
Xie Xingwen abandoning Tang Qiaoqiao to flee for his life was already a disgrace, so Feng Zhuyun didn't want to press the issue. He just said vaguely, "Alright. In that case, you should all rejoin the team for now."
