"Second Young Master, are you all right?" A'er crouched down to support him, urgency evident in his eyes.
Shen Yan waved his hand, "I'm fine, hurry and inform our people to search around the beach at the bottom of the cliff. We must find Jian Qing before my brother does."
With the way the rain was pouring, the danger of Jian Qing jumping into the sea multiplied exponentially.
"I understand, Second Young Master, let me take you back first," A'er said as he helped him up.
Shen Yan shook his head, "No, you go find her now with the others, I can get back by myself."
Every extra minute now added to Jian Qing's peril.
Seeing Shen Yan's pale face, A'er still felt uneasy, "But"
"No buts, do as I say." Shen Yan cut him off with a command.
A'er nodded reluctantly, "Yes."
Shen Yan raised his hand to wipe the rain off his face, worry saturating his brow.
Jian Qing, you must be well; otherwise, I won't have the face to meet your mother again.
