Chapter 345: Two Females Go Missing

Chapter 345: Chapter 345: Two Females Go Missing

It had been a long time since Shi Lan had experienced this familiar sensation. When she opened her eyes to complete darkness, she knew the man with the buzz cut she’d just encountered was Donald, the one who had captured her before.

She didn’t believe it was a coincidence. It was highly unlikely that some random person would possess the same Talent Skill as Donald: Domain.

Clearly, he was the one who had been watching her lately.

Shi Lan remained in the utter darkness, forcing herself to stay calm. She clearly and accurately exposed his identity. "Donald? Is that you? Why did you capture me again?"

"I don’t understand why you hate me so much."

Shi Lan was genuinely confused about this. She was certain that neither the original owner of her body nor she herself had ever had any dealings with Donald, yet he had kidnapped her repeatedly.

Donald hadn’t expected Shi Lan to guess his identity so quickly. He sneered, "I underestimated you last time. You were lucky to be alive. However, I don’t plan on killing you this time either. If you have to blame someone, blame yourself for being so valuable. As the only 3S Level individual, who else would I capture?"

As for hatred, Donald did feel some for Shi Lan. Because of her, he’d been completely blindsided and defeated. His face had been ruined, his voice destroyed, and he’d been forced to change his entire appearance.

Now, he didn’t even have an identity to call his own.

Fortunately, he had people backing him. He would reclaim his true identity sooner or later.

In comparison, he actually hated Mr. Bai more. It was Mr. Bai who had told him Shi Lan was just some ordinary, useless female. Who could have known she was connected to so many military factions? It had forced him to hide and run for so long.

If he ever ran into Mr. Bai again, he would take care of him first.

A murderous glint flashed in Donald’s eyes. Meanwhile, Shi Lan, surrounded by darkness, listened to the strange voice coming from all around her. It was like encountering a monstrous old man from a horror movie, and a sudden chill sent goosebumps all over her skin.

’How did Donald’s voice get so grating?’

’Last time, it sounded normal. Someone who’s a fan of pleasant voices might have even found it nice. Now, it’s just creepy.’

Shi Lan didn’t dare to imagine what he had gone through, nor would she ask.

She focused on the key part of what Donald had said. At least it was somewhat reassuring that he wasn’t going to kill her for now.

But she was puzzled. ’Even if a person completely changes their appearance, their genes don’t change. How did Donald’s identity chip pass the review board’s inspection?’

Shi Lan was lost in thought. Just then, Donald appeared in the darkness.

He stared at her with cold eyes. "You’re a cunning female. I let you get away by a fluke last time. I can’t make that mistake again."

With that, while Shi Lan was completely unable to use her spiritual power, Donald injected her with an anesthetic.

Shi Lan watched him groggily, fighting to stay awake, but she quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Donald looked down at the chip on her wrist. He took a small knife from his clothes, accurately carved out her chip, and destroyed it. Then he quickly stopped the bleeding.

Shi Lan’s Beast Husbands were a huge threat. The chip could be used for positioning, and he couldn’t leave such a liability.

Donald was on a tight schedule. After dealing with Shi Lan, he grabbed another female before taking advantage of the chaos to quickly leave the Border Defense Star in a Teleportation Spaceship.

By the time He Hanshi and the others had dealt with all the Insect Clan on the Border Defense Star, five hours had already passed before they discovered Shi Lan was missing.

Not only that, but Bai Rao had also disappeared from the medical station.

He Hanshi stared at the face on the monitor, his gaze sharp and cold. "Wang Ahsan."

As he uttered the name, Yan Huoshui’s red eyes filled with a sinister malevolence. He slammed his fist against the hard wall in regret. "I suspected something was wrong with him. I should have killed him sooner."

Beside them, Jiang Xia and Mu Tangfeng looked anxious and worried. "What do we do? We can’t see Lanlan’s location on the chip."

They were already married, and their chips were bound to their Beast Husbands, allowing them to see each other’s locations. Even from a great distance, they could track the specific planet.

But now, next to the chip’s location status, the words "Tracking Unavailable" were displayed.

This could only mean one of two things: either she was in a space with absolutely no signal, or the chip had been destroyed.

Either possibility was extremely dangerous.

He Hanshi lowered his gaze to hide the worry in his eyes and remained calm. "Yan Huoshui, Jiang Xia, Mu Tangfeng, I have to entrust Lanlan to you for now. The military is in a critical situation. The Chao Si, which haven’t been seen in years, have reappeared, and there may be other surprises. As an Admiral, I can’t just leave the Border Defense Star."

"I’ll have to trouble you to start the search for Lanlan."

At a time like this, they understood. After all, this was the responsibility that came with being an Admiral. If He Hanshi had actually abandoned the many soldiers on the Border Defense Star for Shi Lan, they would have looked down on him.

Yan Huoshui nodded. "Yes, I know. I’ll contact Ye Ming right now."

With that, he wasted no time and immediately got to work. Jiang Xia and Mu Tangfeng also informed their families, asking them to dispatch bodyguards to search the major planets. They also posted a missing persons notice online with Wang Ahsan’s appearance and photos of Shi Lan and the others.

This time, the notice also included Bai Rao’s name. Since they both disappeared together, they might be in the same place. They couldn’t give up on any possibility.

When Ye Ming heard the news, his heart lurched. His face paled, and his expression was panicked, his tone laced with anger. "Didn’t I tell the four of you to take good care of her? All four of you were there! You knew someone was after Lanlan, and you still let them take her?"

Hearing this, they all felt deeply guilty and couldn’t say anything to refute him.

After a moment, Yan Huoshui spoke up. "This might not be so simple. Three years ago, we ended up on Black Star because the Chao Si caused our spiritual power to collapse. But back then, there were only a dozen or so Chao Si. Today, nearly five hundred appeared on the Border Defense Star. And not only that, but their strength has also increased compared to three years ago."

Ye Ming’s green eyes narrowed. "Impossible. How could there be so many Chao Si?"

He clearly remembered discussing this with Dr. Ai. Dr. Ai had said only one Chao Si was left alive. But He Hanshi and the others wouldn’t lie to him about something like this...

"Heh. Yes, how could so many suddenly appear?"

Yan Huoshui sneered, but he was in no mood to discuss the Chao Si problem with him right now. "The top priority is to find Lanlan quickly. Ye Ming, you can issue a wanted notice. Also, you can dispatch more troops for the search."

Ye Ming snapped out of his thoughts and nodded immediately. He didn’t have time to keep blaming them for losing Shi Lan either.

After the call, Yan Huoshui also contacted his former Star Thief subordinate. Guan Du was amused when he heard the news. "What’s all this, Yan Huoshui? Your wife is quite the handful. Everyone wants to capture her."

"Then again, that makes sense. She is the only 3S Level individual, after all."

Guan Du had the attitude of someone enjoying a good show. Of course, deep down, he was very envious of Yan Huoshui. He never thought Yan Huoshui would be able to get out of a prison like Black Star, let alone marry such a powerful wife. He really was lucky.

As he thought about it, he even started to regret not going straight with him back then.
