Just as he took Liu Chen back to the starting point just now, Nangong Xi had already contacted his father Nangong Mo.

During their trap, the people of Nangong Mo had already searched for the places where Nangong Yuan could hide people.

But they also gained nothing.

Liu Chen frowned slightly, took out his cell phone and took a look at the time. It was almost five o'clock now, and there was only about an hour left before the time he and Xu Jing agreed to.

"After we entered the secret room, Nangong Yuan should have learned about our whereabouts. The person you are looking for may have been transferred during this period."

Nangong Xi said with a serious expression: "From the current situation, I think we are likely to not find them before the time limit comes."

"Nangong Yuan is extremely cautious in his work. He knows the importance of those two to you and your cousin, and he will definitely not let you rescue those two from him easily."

Liu Chen fell into silence.

Of course he understood what Nangong Xi meant.

But if Xu Pingnian and Feng Wan'er were not found, Xu Jing would have to compromise with Nangong Yuan.

However, at this moment, Liu Chen's phone suddenly rang.

Both him and Nangong Xi were surprised.

Who would call Liu Chen at this point?

And this number is another strange number, but the call number is Nangong Imperial City.

Although Liu Chen had some speculations, he answered the phone after the phone rang.

After the phone was connected, a slightly familiar voice came from the other side of the phone.

"Mr. Liu, I know you are looking for a woman named Feng Wan'er and my grandson Xu Pingnian."

The person who called was Nangong Yuan.

Liu Chen's expression suddenly sank.

Although he had only met Nangong Yuan once, he only came to the hotel where he stayed and allowed him to meet Xu Jing.

But it was not long before, and he could still hear the other person's voice as soon as possible.

Obviously, like Nangong Mo, Nangong Yuan had already learned about his purpose in Nangong Imperial City when he brought him to Nangong Imperial City.

The previous style was really just a superficial look. It was because everything was under his control that he was so leisurely and allowed Liu Chen to meet Xu Jing.

Before Liu Chen could ask about Xu Pingnian and Feng Wan'er's condition, he heard Nangong Yuan say, "Mr. Liu, they are living well with me. I won't bother you to stay in the middle of the night and go everywhere to find them."

Nangong Yuan's tone was plain, as if he was talking about something ordinary.

But from his words, he could hear that he knew Liu Chen's movements.

Liu Chen's face looked extremely ugly.

Even though I had known that people were in Nangong Yuan's hands for a long time, I didn't expect that Nangong Yuan would call him this phone number.

"I only know that they were brought to the Nangong Imperial City, and I don't know that they were in Uncle Nangong."

Liu Chen said calmly, "I wonder if Uncle Nangong can let these two people come to the hotel to meet me for Xu Jing's sake?"

Their conversation did not have any emotional ups and downs, just as if it was just an ordinary conversation.

Nangong Yuan smiled and said, "Of course there is no problem, but it's not too late, so it's a bit inconvenient."

"When it's dawn tomorrow, you will meet Xu Jing's enthronement ceremony. After that, if you want to take them away, I will not stop you."

Liu Chen said, "Then I would like to thank Uncle Nangong for taking care of my friend in advance."

He did not mention Xu Pingnian.

After all, Xu Pingnian is also Nangong Yuan’s grandson.

It must be easier for him to take Feng Wan'er away than Xu Pingnian to take him away.

But no matter what, it is to save one.

"Then I won't continue to disturb you. It's not too early, so you can rest early."

Nangong Yuan smiled and said, "After all, tomorrow will be the enthronement ceremony for your good brothers. For him, he definitely hopes that you can attend."

"At that time, maybe Uncle Nangong still has some fun and asks you to help."

"You are his good brother. If someone makes trouble on his enthronement point, you will definitely stand on Uncle Nangong's side, right?"

Liu Chen was already a little angry, and he was even more displeased when he heard Nangong Yuan say this.

But he still suppressed his anger and said as calmly as possible: "That's natural. Uncle Nangong, I won't bother you anymore. You should rest early!"

After receiving Nangong Yuan’s reply, he saw him hung up the phone.

Only then did Liu Chen take back his cell phone with a bad expression.

And Nangong Xi, who was beside him, had an extremely solemn expression at this time.

She could hear the content of the phone calls of the two just now very clearly.

"Mr. Liu, are you planning to cooperate with him?" Nangong Xi asked suddenly.

She is Nangong Mo's daughter, so she naturally hopes that her father will be well, and she doesn't want her father's partner. She suddenly turns against her second uncle who is disagreeing with her father.

Liu Chen glanced at her faintly and said, "The premise of my cooperation with your father is to rescue the person I am looking for."

"But the time limit is coming, your father has not found the person I am looking for, nor can he complete this condition. Naturally, our cooperation is not necessary to continue."

Nangong Xi's face was even more ugly.

When she was trapped in the secret room just now, she already felt Liu Chen's strength.

If such a person stood on Nangong Yuan's side, her father would only be more dangerous.

"Even if my father didn't rescue the person you were looking for, he was trying his best to help you find someone. You can't just turn against his enemies so quickly, right?"

Nangong Xi was a little unwilling to say.

Liu Chen said lightly: "Your father and I have only met a few times. I cannot have absolute trust in your father and Nangong Yuan, but I have no friendship with them either."

"I just want to ensure that the person I am looking for is safe. Everyone has reached cooperation for each other's purpose. Without meeting the conditions, there is naturally no need for cooperation."

"What's more, since the person I'm looking for is in Nangong Yuan's hands, he knows my movements well, and I'm still continuing to cooperate with you. Isn't the person I'm looking for dangerous?"

His words made Nangong Xi silent.

What Liu Chen said is indeed reasonable.

This is the fact.

Liu Chen has no friendship with Nangong Mo and Nangong Yuan. He only cooperates with these two parties for his own interests.

Now that Nangong Mo has not met the conditions for his cooperation, he will naturally stand on Nangong Yuan's side to ensure the safety of the person he is looking for.

Moreover, she also knew very well what kind of person Nangong Yuan was.

If Liu Chen dares to go against his wishes, he will definitely make Liu Chen pay a heavy price.

Xu Pingnian is Nangong Yuan's grandson. He may not do anything to this child, but Feng Wan'er, a woman, has nothing to do with Nangong Yuan, and her situation is very dangerous.

All Liu Chen could do was to interrupt his cooperation with Nangong Mo and stand on the side of Nangong Yuan.
