<h4>Chapter 650: The Sheng Family</h4><h4><strong>Editor: </strong>Dragon Boat Trantion </h4>


    "Just tell us directly, we would have followed," said Hua Shifang calmly. "It’s just that the situation of the Sheng family’s patriarch was critical. We didn’t have time to inform you. So, your second master and I hurried over to help."


    Nan Yan replied, "Is that so?" She couldn’t shake off the feeling that something wasn’t right.


    If their masters had willingly followed, why hadn’t they managed to make a simple phone call? Even if it was while on the road, it wouldn’t have taken much time. Even a quick text message would have sufficed to ease their worries. Their masters wouldn’t have been clueless about suddenly losing contact with them; they would have been concerned.


    Therefore, the situation definitely wasn’t as straightforward as Hua Shifang imed.


    Hua Shifang, trying to cover up the truth, boldly asserted, "Exactly. We’re in a society governed by the rule ofw. You should trust in the security of our country."


    Nan Yan remained silent. Exnation often served as a mask for deception. His words only fueled her suspicions further. But if their masters didn’t want to disclose the truth, she couldn’t keep pressing them. Even if she managed to extract an answer, it would likely be a fabricated lie.


    Anyway, knowing that they were safe was the best oue.


    Fu Yubai and Nan Yan exchanged a silent nce, both having a rough idea in their minds.


    Hua Shifang and Sun Chan must have been forced toe here. They probably didn’t want to admit it, thinking it would be embarrassing. So, they pretended not to know, to save face.


    Except for Gu Chen, who couldn’t discern the underlying meaning, assuming the truth was just as Hua Shifang had stated.


    Gu Chen grinned, repeatedly saying, "As long as everything’s fine."


    Qin Lu, who had been standing behind Nan Yan, suddenly spoke up, "Here, we can’t get a signal on our phones."


    He had just tried to check something and realized this situation. Not only could they not contact the outside world, but they also couldn’t connect to the inte.


    Nan Yan instinctively took out her phone and tested it, confirming Qin Lu’s statement.


    "The signal in the mansion has been blocked," she concluded. While outside the mansion, she could call Sheng Jing, but once inside, all signals on her phone dropped to zero bars, cutting offmunication with the outside world.


    Breaking the signal block was possible, but doing so forcefully might upset the Sheng family and lead to trouble. For now, she didn’t want to escte tensions with them. At least she wanted to wait until she understood the situation better.
