When John heard that Nina had escaped, he burst into a menacing fury. The air around him was freezing cold, and no one dared to get close to him.
"Richard, send everyone out to secretly search for her," he ordered.
"Yes, sir." Richard was not only the leader of the Shi family's two hundred guards, but he was also the leader of forty people who were loyally assigned to John. With John's order, he quickly sent out the remaining guards to search for the missing Nina.
All the guards of the Shi family moved with breakneck speed. Each of them drove an inconspicuous SUV, and searched every inch of Lexington City in secret.
