âIs Yichen at home?â Luo Zishen inquired, his tone growing colder.
With the ongoing crisis in the Eastern Empire and the activation of Shen Qing, Luo Zishen found it perplexing that Xiao Yichen, the head of the Eastern Empire, was hiding at home.
âIâm not sure, butâ¦â You Luan speculated. âMr. Xiao is likely at home.â
Upon hearing You Luanâs response, Luo Zishen took a few seconds to consider. Then, he instructed You Luan over the phone, âBring the official seal of the Eastern Empire and Yichenâs private seal to Blue Bay villa. Iâll be there in half an hour.â
You Luan was still determining Luo Zishenâs intentions, but considering the current crisis in the Eastern Empire stock market, he assumed it was related to the market turmoil.
âAlrightâ¦â You Luan agreed.
After ending the call, Luo Zishen directed his assistant to âPrepare three copies of an authorization document promptly.â
âOkayâ¦â The assistant nodded and hurriedly went to do it.
Once the documents were ready, Luo Zishen left his office and headed to Blue Bay villa.
Half an hour later, when Luo Zishen arrived, You Luan was already present, and Luo Ziyan had also joined.
âZishen,â Luo Ziyan called out urgently, glancing at the closed door. âYichen isnât opening the door.â
Luo Zishen stood by the door, contemplating the password lock. After a brief pause, he inquired, âHave you tried Yichenâs birthday?â
âI have, but I canât open it,â replied Luo Ziyan.
âWhat about Lin Wanâs?â Luo Zishen pressed on.
Luo Ziyan shook his head, indicating he had attempted Lin Wanâs birthday unsuccessfully.
âWhat about their wedding day?â Luo Zishen suggested.
A spark of realization crossed Luo Ziyanâs mind, and he rushed to try it.
Having known Yichen and Lin Wanâs wedding day coinciding with Li Muyangâs engagement day, Luo Ziyan successfully unlocked the door.
He was the first to enter, followed by Luo Zishen and You Luan.
Upon entering, they found no one on the first floor, so they proceeded to the second.
Upon opening the door to the master bedroom, the pungent odor of cigarettes and alcohol greeted them, causing the trio to furrow their brows simultaneously.
âYichenâ¦â Luo Ziyan hurriedly searched for Xiao Yichen amidst the overpowering smell.
You Luan, promptly went to the window, drawing open the curtains and opening them to let in fresh air.
Xiao Yichen, holding an unfinished bottle of red wine, was found seated in a corner, sound asleep.
âYichen, Yichen, wake upâ¦â Luo Ziyan rushed over, shaking Xiao Yichen to rouse him.
Xiao Yichen awoke groggily, taking a moment to focus on the three figures before him. He questioned slowly, âYou⦠Why are you all here?â
His disheveled appearance, paleness, and lack of color on his lips suggested he had not eaten for at least two days.
After some observation, Luo Ziyan concluded that he had not eaten for at least two days.
âMr. Xiao, the Eastern Empire is in danger,â You Luan struggled to convey the urgency. Upon witnessing his typically imposing Boss in such a state, it starkly contrasted with his usual demeanor.
âHehâ¦â Xiao Yichen chuckled faintly without offering any further response.
Without Wanâer, what purpose did he have in the Eastern Empire?
Without her, who would witness his triumphs in the world?
Upon observing Xiao Yichenâs condition, Luo Ziyan intervened, pulling away from Xiao Yichen and asking coldly, âYichen, are you going to take any action to save the Eastern Empire?â
