After Ye Fan met up with Shen Yaqing, they didn't receive any messages from those who kidnapped Mengyao and the others. The enemy seemed to have vanished without a trace, without mentioning any motives or releasing any information.

At this point, the phones of Mengyao and the others were all turned off, and none could be reached.

After inspecting the scene of the incident, they found nothing.

Two hours quickly passed, and night gradually fell.

Inside the car, Ye Fan, Qiu Wen, Zhang Lu, and Shen Yaqing found themselves at a loss, putting their hopes on the Ye Gang's members to see if they could find any useful information, or if the enemy would proactively contact them and make demands.

But no word was heard from the enemy, which was highly unusual.

So what were the enemy's motives and origins? It wasn't clear, and they had no clues to investigate.

"I just can't believe it. On the Ye Gang's turf, could they really be so elusive? Even if we have to dig three feet deep, we must find them," Qiu Wen angrily shouted, issuing orders to the Ye Gang's members, pushing them to work hard.

"Judging from the neatness of the incident site and Shen Yaqing's account, the enemy acted swiftly, striking in areas with no people or surveillance blind spots to avoid revealing their identity. This shows they were well-prepared and had a meticulous plan, targeting Chu Mengyao and Chu Biyao almost simultaneously," Zhang Lu frowned, analyzing, "At the time, Han Bihong and the others resisted. From the fight at the scene, it seems the enemy eventually captured Chu Mengyao and Chu Biyao, forcing the others to surrender. There was no blood at the scene, indicating that the men in black moved quickly and didn't harm Mengyao and the others. Their objective was to capture, and with no bloodstains, we can be somewhat relieved that nothing happened to Mengyao and the others."

"Given what we can currently think of, what identity might the enemy have?" Shen Yaqing pondered slowly, "Since the enemy hasn't revealed their identity or motive, we can only reverse-engineer to deduce the enemy's identity."

Shen Yaqing, Zhang Lu, and Qiu Wen all turned their gaze to Ye Fan, as he was the only one who could give an accurate answer to this question. They were not in a position to speak on it.

"If you consider Ba Country, the three multinational companies Wanlida, Wanpu, and Taimei have enough power to pull off something like this. Wanpu and Taimei intentionally provoked us, while we didn't deliberately antagonize them. So, if Wanpu and Taimei are seeking revenge for profit, it's highly possible. Wanlida, whom I had to offend, has reasons to strike for loss and revenge," Ye Fan said calmly with a profound gaze, analyzing, "But I believe these three multinational companies wouldn't act like this. Their ultimate goal would be profit, and they wouldn't remain completely silent."

This was what Ye Fan found puzzling and perplexing. Even if the enemy succeeded and it was for profit, logically, they wouldn't do nothing. Surely they would send out information or make demands.

Ye Fan continued, "If we remove profit from the equation, only Blood Rose remains highly suspicious. Recently, Blood Rose hasn't shown any flaws nor have they acted. Perhaps they've been secretly planning and seizing the right opportunity to strike isn't impossible."

"From the surface, if it's not about profit, then it's revenge. Blood Rose seems the most suspicious," Shen Yaqing quickly responded. She knew very well that the Chu Group became enemies with Wanlida to save her, Batu, and others. For that, she felt a bit ashamed, as the Chu Group provoked a powerful enemy for her and the Night Cat Squad.

"I have another suspect, Ji Tian. When we were in Ba Country, Ji Tian sent people to connect with General Arus of Ba Country, wanting to harm us. Ji Tian has a significant military background and also falls under suspicion," Ye Fan mentioned without ignoring this doubt, speaking these words while casting a meaningful glance at Zhang Lu.

Ji Tian's military background was vast, something Ye Fan was aware of early on. Perhaps Zhang Lu's help in this regard could be useful.

Actually, Ye Fan had another suspicion that the God Organization took action, but he didn't voice this suspicion, for saying it would reveal his identity, something he wanted to avoid.

Zhang Lu eliminated the possibility of people within the organization taking action, speaking quickly, "Following Ye Fan's words, I think Wanpu initiating anything is very probable. After all, Wanpu has recently sent assassins. Especially considering Wanpu's business partnership with the Northwest's Li Family, it would be easy for them to act if the Li Family has set its sights on the Chu Group's interests. Note, the Li Family has a Human Body Limit master presiding, and such a family has immense influence, with minimal concerns about what they do."

"What you've said makes sense, whether seeking revenge or for profit, it's essentially for these two reasons. But what troubles us the most is that the enemy hasn't communicated at all. Even a reassuring phone call would be good, but without it, how can we not worry? If something unexpectedly happens, how will we handle it?" Qiu Wen said anxiously, "We're not afraid of fighting directly, but the wait is unbearable. When will this end?"

Ye Fan contacted Ye Juanjuan, truly concerned that his uncle's family might also be in trouble. Once assured they were safe, he was relieved. To avoid implicating his uncle's family, he and Ye Juanjuan met infrequently to prevent exposing his family.

"It's strange, the enemy specifically targets tough opponents, almost as if to send me a warning. If even Mengyao and her sister under Han Bihong's protection aren't safe, won't my family be at risk if the enemy finds out about them? If the enemy targeted Lu Xueqi or Shen Yaqing, it would mean two more hostages for them," Ye Fan was surprised at this discovery.

Indeed, if they wanted a hostage, Mengyao alone would suffice.

Yet they also went after Chu Biyao.

This seemed to indicate that targeting the sisters was due to them being under the protection of strong individuals.

Ye Juanjuan sensed the worry in her brother's voice and asked, "Brother, what's wrong? Your voice sounds strange. Oh, there's something I don't know if I should mention. Yesterday, a woman claiming to know you visited our home."
