The Livant Company spent six days in Halep, Ottoman Empire to process the woolen on the ship, and they also had to travel to other Ottoman cities. The Livant Company not only had factories in Halep, but also had small factories in several Ottoman cities.

Li Jinde asked Sir Henry to go to Constantinople, the capital of the Ottoman Empire, but this seemed to be not in the planning of the Livante Company. The Livante Company was managed by multiple directors, and Sir Henry was just the most powerful one, so Sir Henry refused to go to Constantinople.

Li Jinde just proposed that he did not have to go to Constantinople. He could see through the situation of a city and roughly see the reality of the Ottoman Empire.

However, on the seventh day of Halep, when the fleet of the Lifant Company was about to leave Halep and head for another city in the Ottoman Empire, Li Jinde suddenly disappeared.

"Where is Mr. Li? Where is he?"

"Will he go to any streets again?"

"It shouldn't be that. We have notified that the fleet today is leaving Halep. Besides, he has traveled all over the main urban areas of Halep in the past few days. Do you still want to go to the backward villages to see?"

When the people of the Levant Company counted the number before leaving, Sir Henry found that Li Jinde was not there and asked questions to other directors and employees, but everyone shook their heads.

"Would you like to ask the woman from the East? She might know where Mr. Li is?" someone from Levante Company suggested.

Sir Henry and the people from the Levant Company found Xiaolian, but Xiaolian was completely unable to understand the English spoken by Sir Henry and the others, nor could they understand the Ottoman language, and could not communicate with them.

Xiaolian couldn't see Li Jinde among a group of blonde and blue-eyed people, and also asked Sir Henry anxiously: "Where is Storekeeper Li? Why is he not here?"

"What is she saying? Who of you know how to speak Chinese?" Sir Henry shrugged. Xiaolian couldn't understand the English he spoke, and he also couldn't understand the Chinese spoken by Xiaolian.

The people from the Lifante company shook their heads. They were engaged in Mediterranean trade and knew the Ottoman languages ​​almost the same, and no one knew Chinese. Li Jinde usually communicated with them by English learned from Salina.

And those who know Chinese in Britain probably only have employees of the East India Company that goes to the Spice Islands.

Although Sir Henry and Xiaolian didn't understand each other's words, they quickly realized that they both realized Li Jinde's disappearance.

The most anxious thing is Xiaolian who was rescued from Kuhai by Li Jinde, but she is not able to find a disappeared person in a strange foreign country.

The second is Sir Henry. Li Jinde is his partner, and their King Charles I signed a trade treaty with China. If something happens to Li Jinde, how should he explain to China?

"Mr. Governor, we have an important employee who has disappeared in you Halep. Please help us find him. I can give you a high reward." Sir Henry found Halep's Governor and looked for help.

"No problem, the whole of Halep is under my management. What's the difficulty of finding someone!" Halep's governor easily agreed.

However, Sir Henry always felt something was wrong, and the opponent agreed to skip it and was very happy.

The Lifante company stayed in Halepud for three days because of Li Jinde's sudden disappearance. During this period, Halepu's governor sent soldiers to search door to door, but Li Jinde was still not found.

Li Jinde suddenly evaporated from the world and disappeared.

Sir Henry and others looked for traces in Li Jinde's room. Li Jinde's luggage was still there, but the person suddenly disappeared.

"Can it be kidnapped by pirates?" said the person from Levant Company suddenly.

"Mr. Li came to this city for the first time and did not do anything unusual except buying this girl. He should not offend the pirates, so he was not seeking revenge. But if it was to ask for money, he should leave information to contact us while kidnapping Mr. Li. It would be impossible for him to have no news." Sir Henry inferred and found that it would not be possible to explain it no matter what.

Li Jinde had no reason to disappear for three days. If someone wanted to harm him, it was nothing more than revenge or property.

However, the current traces do not indicate any possibility of Li Jinde disappearing.

"Sir Henry, our Livante company has our business, and we cannot stay here forever. There are merchants from other cities waiting for us to deliver the goods, otherwise it will bring us a loss of up to tens of thousands of pounds." The other directors of Livante company saw that Li Jinde had been missing for three days, which was far beyond their Livante company's plan.

"Let's leave here first... Let our employees in Halep continue to inquire about Mr. Li's whereabouts. If you find Mr. Li, whether they personally or hire others, you must contact us as soon as possible!" Sir Henry calculated the time and could not find Li Jinde for a while. The company's people were urging him to leave the city first.

Their Livante company also has a factory here, and they can ask the factory employees to continue looking for Li Jinde in Halep.

"So what should this girl from the East do?" The people from Lifante Company thought of another Xiaolian who was saved by Li Jinde.

"Take her onto our boat, and even if you can't find Mr. Lee, you must ensure that she can reach the safe city of London, otherwise we will not be able to explain to him when Mr. Lee comes back in the future." Sir Henry said.

"Let me go! Where are you going to take me? I will stay here until I find Manager Li!" Xiaolian shouted hysterically.

If Li Jinde had not helped, she would have been unable to escape from the slave trader's claws.

However, Sir Henry and others could not understand what she said, and even if they understood it, they would not allow her to stay in the Ottoman Empire, which was somewhat dangerous to the Orientals.

Xiaolian was forcibly taken to the British merchant ship by the Levants.

"We must find Mr. Li as soon as possible. He is the highest person in charge of China's company in Britain. If something happens to him, I don't know what the angry Chinese will do. They have fleets anchored in Portsmouth. Our trade treaty has agreed that both sides should take concerted actions. If they declare war on the Ottoman Empire because of Mr. Li's disappearance, and we Britain are forced to stand on the side of the Chinese, then the factories established by our Levant Company on the east coast of the Mediterranean will be complete!"

"If there is really one day when we join forces with China to declare war on the Ottoman Empire, you must find a way to escape from the Ottoman Empire as soon as possible..." Sir Henry said privately to the person in charge of Halep.
