Forensic Imperial Concubine

Harper was worried about Felton's condition but unfortunately she and Matthew couldn't get any news about him—how he was or even where he was. It was like he vanished from the face of the earth, just like the rest of the Qin Clan.

The members of the Qin Clan used to contact her through Felton. She wasn't even sure if they really existed, so the only thing she could do at the moment was go to Phoenix City, the known base of the clan, and search there.

Phoenix City was its usual busy, beautiful, and peaceful self when Harper and Matthew arrived. It was not Matthew's first time visiting the city, but he still felt a renewed awe when he stepped foot on its land once again.

After the couple checked in at a hotel, they immediately went ahead and looked for the base of the Qin Clan. Standing at the gates of the closed orphanage, Harper donned a very complicated expression on her face. 'Why is this closed? Is there anything wrong with the clan? Where are the children?' she thought.

"Little Harper!" A female voice suddenly rang out. The person put her arm around Harper's neck as soon as she was near her and said, "Why are you like this? How dare you not inform me that you're back here in Phoenix City!"

"Daphne!" Harper tried to shake Daphne off her but she failed. "Daphne, you're strangling me. I'm already out of breath! Please let me go!"

Daphne relented but it seemed to be because she saw Matthew next to her. "Who is this man? Is this your man? Doesn't seem so good looking, why?"

Matthew's eyes rolled slightly. His sleeve brushed against Daphne's wrist, and the latter suddenly felt her wrist becoming numb. Harper noticed this immediately and was about to say something about it, but Matthew spoke first. "Why are you making friends with such a slut? I don't want her filth contaminating you."

"Slut?" Daphne was ready to fight. "Who are you calling slut, boy?"

Harper couldn't help but face palm. How could she forge? The personality of these two were so alike that they would clash as soon as they met. "Matthew, stop it. You know we've been friends for a long time now. Why do you two always argue when you meet each other?"

"It's because of him!"

"It's because of her!"

Matthew and Daphne replied at the same time, both turning away from each other and unwilling to look at each other's faces. Harper was helpless. Felton had disappeared and the Qin Clan's base was closed, but the two were bickering like little children.

"Anyway, Daphne, do you know why the orphanage is closed? Where are the people?" In Phoenix City, if anyone wanted to know what happened, the best people to ask were Daphne and Darren.

Daphne glanced at the closed gates of the orphanage, her face unreadable. "Immediately after I learned that you'd come here, I knew this would be the first place you visit. Well, three days ago, the people in the orphanage just vanished. No sign of where they went or what happened to them. Disappeared, just like that."

"What? How is that possible?" Harper asked, shocked. This was Phoenix City—one of the most populous city in the world—how could that happen?
