Shao Yunduan noticed that First Old Master Qiao was missing and frowned. He said, "Don't jump to conclusions. The Deputy Envoy might have had too much to drink and wandered off. Just send someone to find him."
The farewell banquet was being held in a well-lit, scenic courtyard at Shao Yunduan's residence. It was filled with trusted guests, and the setting was secure. It was unlikely anyone would cause trouble for someone as inconspicuous as First Old Master Qiao.
Shao Yunduan suspected that Shao Liulang was simply trying to stir up trouble for attention.
Shao Liulang, visibly agitated, sneered. "I hope he is found soon. If anything happens to him, I won't let it go!"
To Shao Liulang's dismay, First Old Master Qiao genuinely seemed to have vanished. Despite a thorough search by the servants lasting over fifteen minutes, he remained unaccounted for.
This was abnormal!
Shao Liulang was even more furious and shouted.
Soon, all the officials at the banquet knew.
"What's going on?"
