When Gu Ci returned to the Blue Fields Villa, Dr. North was still there. "I asked Third Master," she said, "and he knows nothing about my brother's disappearance. It might not be related to the Black Hawk. Think about it, does my brother have any other enemies?"
"His identity is very secretive, and he wouldn't have many enemies, except for the recent conflict with the Black Hawk," Dr. North replied firmly. "Are you sure it's unrelated to them?"
"Both Uncle Li and Third Master's reactions seemed like they were hearing about my brother's disappearance for the first time, not like they were involved," Gu Ci affirmed. "I saw my brother on New Year's Eve, and Ji Chi also said he saw him that day. When Ziyu comes back, I'll have him check the surveillance footage. Master, you should rest here for now; when Ziyu returns, we can get the news firsthand."
