"Stolen?" Ye Li's face changed drastically.
"Yes, someone bypassed the tight security of the national treasury and stole the jade bead," the President said.
Ye Li gripped the phone hard, with such force that it seemed like he would crush it. His scar-covered face flushed due to his unstable emotions, looking terrifying.
Doctor Zhu had just finished checking Bai Xiao's pulse and entered with his medical bag, startled by Ye Li's expression.
As soon as Ye Li hung up, Doctor Zhu immediately asked, "Ye Li, what happened?"
"Someone stole the jade bead." Ye Li's voice was icy, and his face's redness had not faded. The twisted red scars made him look as frightening as a night hero.
Doctor Zhu's expression changed upon hearing the news.
"The jade bead, indeed, is just the beginning," Ye Li murmured.
The atmosphere in the room was eerily quiet, and Doctor Zhu looked at Ye Li's elusive yet horrifying expression. He moved his lips several times but made no sound.
