Billionaire's Long Journey of Chasing His Love-Chapter 845 - 704: Maybe We’ll Find Something (Part 1)

"Haven’t they already started fighting?" Yi Luowa asked, puzzled.

"They’re just engaging the perimeter now. Their outer forces are strong, but Lao Ba has already broken through two defense lines," Tong Airui quickly reassured her as he noticed her tension, "Don’t worry, Lao Ba has the most experience with desert warfare, he won’t be in trouble. Once the third line is breached, the Bagan base will be completely gone."

Yi Luowa exhaled deeply, "I’ll trust you one more time."

"Trust me for eternal life." Tong Airui chuckled while ruffling her hair, "Can you sleep without me by your side?"

"Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night, you should hurry back. Don’t miss the opportunity, and if there’s any new development, remember to notify me, just send me a text, no need to come all the way over." Yi Luowa lethargically climbed into bed.

Tong Airui pulled up the blanket to cover her, "If you can sleep, get some rest, don’t stay up."

"Mm, don’t tire yourself too much either. If there’s nothing going on, take a nap yourself." Yi Luowa shook his hand with a smile and closed her eyes, "I’m off to sleep, you should head back."

Tong Airui nodded helplessly, stepping out quietly.

Tong Airui returned to the study, glanced at the computer screen, and his face immediately changed, "Where is everyone?"

Tong Airui picked up the phone to call Mi Chenxuan, but it was turned off! He tried to connect to Mi Chenxuan’s radio through his headset, but couldn’t! Tong Airui’s expression grew increasingly grave, glancing at the time, he quickly headed downstairs.

In the motorhome, Tong Airui activated the full suite of equipment inside the vehicle, searching the screen for any trace, but there was none! Could their sensors have all malfunctioned?

"Knock knock..." someone gently tapped on the car window.

Tong Airui furrowed his brow slightly, picked up the remote and opened the car door.

Yuan Hang, Dacheng, and Yi Luowa walked in.

Tong Airui was slightly taken aback, "Why are all of you here?"

"Dacheng said there was no sign of Eighth Master on the computer, so the two of us hurried over to check. Just as we came through the gate, we saw the light in the motorhome. Sir, have you found any trace of Eighth Master?"

"Not yet, the sensors they’re carrying seem to have malfunctioned." Tong Airui shook his head helplessly, "Dear, I told you to rest, why did you come down too?"

"I couldn’t sleep. When I went to the study and saw you weren’t there, I came down to find you." Yi Luowa gently patted Tong Airui’s shoulder, "Don’t worry, my sixth sense tells me that Lao Ba will be fine. The sensors may not be malfunctioning; he might have turned them off to avoid detection."

Tong Airui slightly curved his lips; earlier he was comforting her, and now she was reassuring him.

"You make a good point. Once the sensor codes are deciphered, it would expose them to the enemy."

Yi Luowa pursed her lips, "Then let’s just wait patiently. Perhaps when he breaches the last barrier, he’ll turn the sensors back on."

Tong Airui nodded, "I’ll wait here for him. The rest of you should go back and rest."

"Since we’re already here, let’s wait together." Yuan Hang and Dacheng sat down first.

Tong Airui gave them a somewhat annoyed glance, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder, but are you two planning to neglect your lovely wives?"

Dacheng chuckled, "Qing Yu is pregnant, there’s nothing I can do. As for Yuan Hang, I guess everything that needed to be done has been done."

Yi Luowa suppressed her laughter and sat across from them, "I won’t leave either. If I get sleepy, I’ll just nap here."

Tong Airui picked up the remote and turned up the volume on the monitors, "If there’s nothing happening, take a nap. As soon as the sensors activate, we’ll all hear it."

"Knock knock..." again came the sound of knocking on the window. Yi Luowa stood up quickly, "Could it be Youyou coming back?"

"Sis, it’s me. How come you’re all in the car at this late hour?"

Yi Luowa opened the door, and Youyou jumped in.

Yi Luowa gave her a quick once-over, seeing she was unharmed, she breathed a sigh of relief, "It’s good that you’re back. We’re here waiting for news from Lao Ba."

Youyou furrowed her brow, "Waiting for his news? Is he out of contact?"

"He might have turned off the sensors; the whole team suddenly lost all trace."

Youyou dug into her pocket, took out two cards, and tossed them onto the coffee table, "I retrieved the items. I’m leaving now."

Yi Luowa grabbed her arm, "Are you thinking of heading to the Bagan Desert?"

"Sis, I need to find Mi Chenxuan." 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"The Bagan Desert is so vast, where will you search for him? What if he returns and you’re lost? Would you have him go look for you again?"

Youyou said, with eyes reddened, "Sis, suddenly losing contact isn’t a good sign. I’m afraid..."
