Speaking of it, the Ji Family is quite patient. It took them several days after the old man disappeared to co to her.

Ji Hua was heavy-hearted and could only silently pray that their old man would hold on.

"How could a living person just vanish without a trace?" Xia Mian spoke softly, and as she did, a flash of insight hit Ji Hua’s mind.

Indeed, as his grandfather aged, he beca more cherished of life, emphasizing health, drinking health teas, sleeping healthily, and apart from allocating so daily ti to handle company affairs, he rarely left the Ji Family mansion.

Why would an elder who enjoys staying at ho and maintaining health suddenly disappear?

He disappeared mysteriously, inexplicably!

"To be honest, Miss Xia might not believe it, but the household staff say Grandfather went to his room to sleep, and no one saw him leave. The ho’s surveillance showed he never left the Ji Family premises, yet he vanished so bizarrely," Ji Hua exhaled a deep breath.

He ought to have thought in so special directions sooner.

But being overly concerned brought chaos. Everyone in the Ji Family was anxious to find the old man, leaving no one considering that direction.

"It isn’t a mysterious disappearance," Xia Mian’s eyes dropped slightly, "This is a man-made disaster."

If Xia Mian hadn’t witnessed Ji Chenggong’s so-called brothers’ deanor today, she might still believe Ji Chenggong’s disappearance was an accident, a paranormal occurrence.

But now, having seen Ji Chenggong’s brothers’ deanor, Xia Mian was almost certain that Ji Chenggong’s disappearance wasn’t as simple as it appeared on the surface.

"A man-made disaster..." Ji Hua muttered softly.

Indeed, their stride had been too large in recent years, provoking envy and apprehension from the other branches.

Grandfather was still the backbone of their branch, and if anything happened to him, it would be like the sky collapsing for them.

"Let’s head to the reservoir first and take a look!" Xia Mian’s voice remained steady.

From her calculations, the old man of the Ji Family was destined to suffer so hardships. His life star was already very dim, but his life force remained, not yet at the death calamity.

Ji Hua didn’t speak, rely accelerating the car a bit.

Soon, the three Ji brothers and the younger generation of the Ji Family drove to the northeastern reservoir.

The reservoir periter was guarded, preventing people from approaching casually.

The Ji Family’s advance party reached the reservoir periter, negotiating with the reservoir staff.

Upon hearing the Ji Family’s claim, the reservoir staff were incredulous, "Perhaps you’ve been deceived? We’ve been here watching all along, not allowing unrelated persons near, let alone the seventy-year-old senior you ntioned..."

The reservoir staff found it truly unbelievable.

Due to the reservoir’s unique nature, soone had always been posted to prevent accidental intrusions.

So no one knew better than them if anyone had entered the reservoir.

"Please make an exception and let us have a look," Ji Changlong politely requested the other party.

The reservoir was different from elsewhere, breaking in was not suitable.

The reservoir staff looked troubled, "This isn’t appropriate. If you go in and sothing happens, we can’t bear that responsibility."

The three Ji brothers looked at one another in confusion.

Xia Mian said Ji Chenggong might be here, but truth be told, their hopes weren’t high.

The ho’s surveillance showed Ji Chenggong hadn’t left the Ji Family gate, let alone appeared at the northeastern reservoir over a hundred miles from the Ji Family!

How could a seventy-year-old have the energy to run so far?

Just as Ji Changlong and his brothers were about to give up, Xia Mian spoke, "He’s inside the reservoir. If we go in now, he might be saved; if too late, the responsibility really won’t be bearable."

As for why Ji Chenggong would appear here, likely the Ji Family’s ill-intentioned mbers had found so high expert who could employ magic to silently move Ji Chenggong out of the Ji Family mansion.

The reservoir staff glanced at Xia Mian, seeing her young but speaking with such conviction, prompting a slight frown, "Young lady, with what you’re saying, we’ve been guarding here, could we not know if anyone had gone inside?"

After the staff’s words, Xia Mian pointed at Ji Hua, "In a minute, I’ll have him inside the reservoir."

As Xia Mian’s words landed, she already wielded a talisman which, upon touching Ji Hua, caused him to vanish instantly!

The two reservoir workers’ eyes widened imdiately...

They’d witnessed many strange things before, but never had soone vanished in front of their eyes like this!

"He’s already inside, you can go check," Xia Mian said calmly, and the two workers dared not underestimate her any further.

One worker stayed outside while the other hurried into the reservoir to check.

Ten minutes later, the worker returned from inside, looking astonished.

"He really is inside..." the reservoir worker stamred.

Under their very noses, that young man had gone from outside the reservoir to inside.

"What you think impossible doesn’t an it truly is. What science can’t explain, Xuanxue can," Xia Mian laughed softly, her smile a bit mysterious.

This ti, the two workers didn’t dare confidently claim the person they sought wasn’t inside.

After all, they had witnessed a great transformation right before their eyes!

If indeed there was soone inside the reservoir, and they didn’t let them go find him, if sothing happened, even if they had mouths all over explaining it wasn’t their negligence, no one would believe!

To avoid such situations, they gave Xia Mian and the others the green light.

A worker led Xia Mian and the others in.

Ji Hua was already inside waiting, but clearly bewildered, pacing back and forth until he saw Xia Mian and the others allowed in, at which point his face showed a hint of relief.

Xia Mian now was his stabilizing force; if he couldn’t see Xia Mian, he might unravel due to his anxiety at any mont.

"Hurry and find him. Everyone needs to leave in half an hour!" The accompanying staffer was stern, remaining with them throughout, "During this half an hour, I’ll stay by your side the entire ti."

Being a crucial area, having let outsiders in, they had to exercise caution. If these people contaminated the reservoir water, it would be their professional negligence.

"Much obliged," Xia Mian nodded slightly, turning to begin walking into the reservoir’s depths along the embanknt.
