On the other side, the girl standing in front of the Victoria Harbour signal tower looked back at the dark night as if with telepathy.
If the Tenth Elder looked at the tablet at this moment, he would be able to see that the direction she was looking at was where they were.
The winter nights in the port city are very cold, and fog begins to rise in the dark night.
It was pitch black in winter and it was hard to see far away.
Qiao Nian narrowed his eyes and stared at that direction for a long time. After a while, he slowly turned around, took out his cell phone and called Guan Yan.
"Hello, sun."
Guan Yan asked, "Are you ready to come?"
"We're not leaving." Qiao Nian walked back while throwing the same round ball she had thrown in the listening court before.
She walked and threw randomly, seemingly not worrying that these round spheres were all concentrated in one area and there was no pattern to them.
Guan Yan raised his voice on the phone: "Not leaving? Why?"
After the girl threw the remaining balls she brought, she stopped, looked at the dock and said to her, "You guys come down too, and walk with me."
Guan Yan keenly sensed the danger: "Sun, what happened?"
Qiao Nianzi said: "No. Nothing happened."
"That… "
"But I think it went too smoothly. If nothing unexpected happens, we've been targeted. Also, tell Ji Lin that I still haven't contacted their boss."
Qiao Nian said calmly, as if she was chatting with her casually, "He never goes more than an hour without replying to my message, unless he can't."
"I just stood there waiting, and after an hour, I still didn't hear from him. Tell Ji Lin that his boss is in trouble. We have to turn around and go back to look for him!"
Guan Yan remained silent for a while, then said apologetically: "Sun, I'm sorry, if it weren't for me..."
Qiao Nian interrupted her. "Qin Si has said it. You don't need to say it again. Besides, we are friends. Friends only go through hardships together. There is no precedent of abandoning friends and going alone. I never blame anyone. I just solve problems when they arise!"
Self-blame is the most useless emotion in the world. It can’t help anyone and can’t change any results…
Qiao Nian doesn't like these emotions and is never swayed by them. She always focuses on her goal and just moves forward.
After she hung up the phone with Guan Yan, she called Beijing City and Independent Island respectively to discuss ways to break the deadlock with them.

"How about it, have you thought it through?" Elder Shi gave him time to think, but obviously did not intend to let him waste too much time.
Ye Wangchuan asked him for the drone tracking and surveillance tablet and was looking down at the person in the video.
When he saw Qiao Nian change his mind and walk back, he knew that Qiao Nian did not intend to leave by water.
And she made several phone calls in a row during the process.
Ye Wangchuan was certain that she had informed Ji Lin and Guan Yan. It would depend on how fast the two were and what they planned to do if they gave up leaving the port.
Ye Wangchuan lowered his eyelashes and fell into deep thought.
Seeing that he was distracted, the tenth elder became serious and walked over, just as he was about to snatch the tablet to see what tricks Qiao Nian was up to next.
at this time.
His cell phone rang.
The Tenth Elder has a high status and few people have his private number. The person who can call him must not be an ordinary person.
His cold lips were stretched into a straight line. He gave up the tablet in Ye Wangchuan's hand and answered the phone first.
"Hello."
