The man named Dog who was mentioned suddenly panicked for a moment, then quickly regained his composure.

“Village Chief, I didn’t see Brother Ze. I didn’t know which direction he ran in at all. I was so scared that I didn’t even know which direction I was running in, but I really didn’t see Brother Ze.”

When they heard that, everyone nodded in understanding. The situation then was perilous and they were fleeing in panic. Who would have bothered to check their route?

Yan Zhongqing continued asking, “Have you searched all the surrounding areas?”

“We searched from noon until around 5p.m in the afternoon,” Liu Shitou answered dejectedly.

At the back of the crowd, Qin Yiling had her eyes fixed on that man called Dog. He was lying!

Yan Yaoguo squeezed his way to the front of the crowd and said anxiously, “Dad, we should be going up the mountain to find him first. Let’s not waste any more time.”

Yan Zhongqing shouted, “Second Bro, Second Bro! Have you organized everyone?”

He was anxious too. His uncle’s main worry when passing was none other than Ah Ze. But despite feeling anxious, he still had to get to the bottom of things. Moreover, he was just making use of the meantime to investigate, while Second Bro went to gather people.

“Coming, coming, I’m here!”

Yan Yaoguo hurried to the front of the crowd.

“Father, there are only twelve people who are willing to go up the mountain now.”

The Famous Mountain was so big that even mobilizing the entire village might not be enough, let alone just a mere twelve people. Still, such things couldn’t be forced.

Yan Zhongqing sighed inwardly. “You guys go up into the mountains to look for him first. I’ll think of more solutions.”

“Okay!”

Following that, Yan Yaoguo brought the people and some fire torches with him, and they marched up into the mountain together.

The crowd in front of the Ancestral Hall slowly dispersed, while Qin Yiling secretly followed the search and rescue team up the mountain.

Once they were up there, she immediately left the team and found another way into the remote mountains.

Her heart was pounding violently and her mind was an utter mess.

Missing in the mountains?

Also with the word ‘Ze’ in his name?

In addition, it was obvious that the hunting member called Dog was lying. He must have seen Yan Ze. Perhaps, his disappearance was even related to him.

All of this somehow reminded her of the dream she had. In the dream, the man was lying injured in a ravine and they seemed to be in the mountain forest too. He would not have been lying in the mountains alone for no rhyme or reason.

Strangely, the scene in the dream matched the current situation. As this thought formed in her mind, she suddenly felt a strong emotion, and it only became more and more intense. Hence, she couldn’t afford to worry too much and immediately started following the rescue team.

Although she could tell that Dog was lying, with her current identity, it would probably be hard for her to convince the public even if she pointed it out. It might even cause her to attract everyone’s suspicion. Instead of wasting time arguing with those people, it was better to go up the mountain to save him as soon as possible.

Maybe that person called Yan Ze was exactly the person she was looking for as well; her prospective partner!

Recalling the bloody scene in her dream, Qin Yiling sped up. She had to find that man as soon as possible.

He was waiting for her!

Perhaps the reason she had such a dream was a reminder to herself to save him. From the nights she had started having those nightmares to when she had time-traveled and even to the present moment, everything seemed to be connected in a mysterious way.

She had been brought to his side in his moment of mortal danger!
