After hearing his decisive tone, I realized that if he really wanted to find it, he could find it.

Thinking of this, my brows couldn't help but frown.

"Really, there is no news at all?"

"No. At what my sister told me before, he should have arrived in Chengdu long ago after leaving Xishan Academy. Moreover, his figure should be easily discovered."

"Then why-"

"There are two possibilities. One is that he may not want us to find him and deliberately hide it, but this possibility is very small. The people I sent will not have no effort."

"Then, what's the second?"

"Not finding means not completing the task. No matter what, you need to be punished first."

"Qingchen, I have never asked you about this."
