Chapter 800: Waiting For You For A Long Time
"What happened?" Li Xiaofei felt a jolt run through this body.
Luo Ge said, "Miss Si and her entire family, including the two children, were kidnapped by Lin Yi."
"What?" Li Xiaofei's expression darkened instantly. "When did this happen?"
"Yesterday," Luo Ge replied, her face filled with guilt. "As Song Jinglun’s mistress, Lin Yi knew about a hidden timed teleportation array within the City Lord’s Office. After the array was activated, she snuck into the City Lord’s Office and abducted the lady and the children."
Li Xiaofei's brows furrowed deeply. Before leaving Chongque City, he had deliberately arranged for several layers of protection, especially for Si Kongxue and the two children. He had even temporarily moved them into the City Lord’s Office for added security. He hadn’t expected this...
Li Xiaofei looked at Luo Ge, trying to read more from her eyes. Regret was written all over Luo Ge’s bold and dignified face. She clearly held herself responsible. After all, protecting the Si Family had also been part of her duties in the original plan.
Standing nearby, Hu Yuer listened quietly to their conversation. A faint understanding began to form in her heart. Yet, she wasn’t surprised. She slightly wrinkled her fair, jade-like nose, as if trying to pick up something from the air.
After a long silence, Li Xiaofei let out a cold chuckle. "It seems the High Chancellor’s promises aren’t entirely reliable after all."
He was angry. Before leaving Chongque City, the High Chancellor had sworn with absolute confidence that he would keep his family safe.
Luo Ge quickly defended, "Teacher has already done everything he could. In order to track Lin Yi and the others, he even consumed part of his own lifespan to activate the Eye of the Firmament. He never wanted an incident like this to happen at a time like this..."
"Is that so?" Li Xiaofei asked calmly. "And the result?"
The Eye of the Firmament was that massive eye-shaped structure atop the Council building. It was, in fact, a magical artifact. It could observe all movements within Chongque City. Moreover, once the High Chancellor personally activated it, the Eye could track any individual within the city. Few things could remain hidden beneath that all-seeing gaze.
