Tomb Raider: What kind of heroine is she?

"Elder, no, it's gone! They're all gone!"

In the early morning, an anxious call resounded through the courtyard of the Fourth Elder like thunder. This sudden call broke the tranquility of the early morning, startling the birds in the tree and making them flutter their wings and fly away.

I saw a member of the Zhang family running towards me in a panic. His face was full of fear and anxiety, and beads of sweat hung on his forehead. He was out of breath because he ran too fast, and he couldn't even speak smoothly. He finally arrived at the door of the Fourth Elder, but he didn't have time to knock on the door and rushed in directly to see the Fourth Elder practicing in the courtyard.

The interrupted Fourth Elder saw that the person who was reporting in front of him looked flustered and staggering. He looked so flustered and anxious, as if the sky was falling, which made the Fourth Elder frown.

He stopped what he was doing without any hurry, straightened his sleeves, walked slowly into the room and said, "You have been working under me for such a long time, why are you still so impatient? Didn't I tell you a long time ago that you must not panic when encountering things, and learn to deal with them calmly. Only in this way can we maintain the demeanor and temperament that our Zhang family should have. Go back and accept the punishment yourself. Tell me, what happened to make you so panicked?"

"Yes." The Zhang family member who was scolded felt his face burning hot and his heart was even more anxious. However, he was a person who had experienced many storms after all, and he knew that he must not lose his composure at this moment.

He immediately stood up straight, clasped his hands together and saluted calmly. While bending down, he took a deep breath, trying to calm his pounding heart, and secretly told himself to stay calm. As a result, the face that was full of panic just now quickly returned to its usual calm appearance and reported: "Elder, the tribesmen reported this morning that the tribe leader is missing."

The Fourth Elder's expression was calm upon hearing this, and he didn't even raise his eyebrows: "What a fuss!" The Fourth Elder said in a cold tone. "The clan leader often goes on missions without saying a word, or he is at the Saint's place, why don't you send someone to check..."

"I have sent people to these two places to look for them, but have not found the clan leader yet, and..." The subordinate who was questioned answered cautiously, with a layer of fine beads of sweat oozing out of his forehead, for fear that his response would cause dissatisfaction and reprimand from the four elders.

"And what?" the fourth elder asked, with an ominous premonition slowly rising in his heart.

"And when I went there, the Saint was also... nowhere to be seen."

"What!!?"

The Fourth Elder, who was shocked by the bad news, had a look of disbelief and horror on his face. However, just a moment later, he made a prompt decision and threw away all his worries and hesitations without hesitation. He flashed like an arrow from a bow, and rushed towards the Saint's Court at an astonishing speed. However, he tripped again when he stepped out of the door, and his figure staggered twice.

In the blink of an eye, the Zhang family was the only one left in the courtyard: ...

Didn’t we agree that the Zhang family should remain calm?

Without time to think, he could only follow the figure of the Fourth Elder. When he saw the Fourth Elder in the Saint's Courtyard, he saw that his face was full of gloom, his brows were tightly furrowed, and his eyes revealed deep worry and anger. His extremely ugly face seemed to be covered by a layer of dark clouds, which made people shudder.

"Hurry up and pass the order down. From this moment on, the gates of the Zhang family are tightly closed, and no one is allowed to enter or leave at will. Everyone who wants to enter or leave the Zhang family must be strictly and carefully checked, and no one can be missed. Anyone who looks like the saint or the clan leader must be detained first, and no one can act rashly. After they are controlled, they can be carefully questioned one by one. Remember, this matter is of great importance, so be careful!"

Sihang Lao had a serious expression on his face. After he finished giving the order in a solemn tone, he paused for a moment, as if he remembered that there was something important that he had not yet explained. He then continued, "Oh, right! Go and call Zhang Yian to me. Tell him that I have something important to discuss with him. Act quickly and without delay!"

The Zhang family member who was standing by and listening to the order hurriedly responded, "Yes! I obey your command! I will go and do it now."

Before he finished speaking, the man left as quickly as a gust of wind, carrying out the orders given by the Four-Line Elder.
