1501 Puzzle
Hearing his assistant’s words, hesitation flashed across An Luo’s eyes.
Actually, someone had suggested something similar to mystic techniques to An Luo before, but he did not believe this.
However, now, An Lin’s health was getting worse and worse. An Luo no longer had any scruples. He looked at his assistant. “Then investigate everything about this now and report to me tomorrow.”
“Yes.”
Because of an auction, everything seemed calm on the surface, but in fact, there were already undercurrents.
That night, Jun Shiling stood by the window and quietly looked at the lights outside. Lin Jing stood behind him and reported the situation.
“CEO Jun, Lin Qingyuan returned to Beijing overnight. He just met that person. The two of them had a private conversation for nearly three hours.”
“Mm.” Jun Shiling’s gaze kept landing on a steeple in the distance.
“Also, we’ve found the identity of the black-robed man who keeps appearing.”
Hearing Lin Jing’s words, Jun Shiling finally turned around and gestured for Lin Jing to continue.
“Last year, the hidden passageway between A World and D World was opened. As you know, there are three continents in A World, and the governor of Hidden Continent has always been the most mysterious. However, we obtained an internal information. The information shows that this governor of Hidden Continent is wearing a black robe all year round. No one knows his true appearance.”
“How many years?” Jun Shiling’s only concern was this.
“Three hundred years.” Lin Jing looked up with a solemn expression. “It’s three hundred years. The earliest time the black-robed man appeared was three hundred years ago, but I can’t be sure if someone changed under that black robe.”
Lin Jing had been following Jun Shiling. Although Jun Shiling had never mentioned Xia Wanyuan directly, in the past few years, as he gradually gathered data on the Great Xia Dynasty, Lin Jing had gradually understood something. Hence, when he saw the records of the black-robed man, Lin Jing could not determine if this black-robed man had existed for more than three hundred years.
Jun Shiling’s expression froze. “Continue investigating.”
“Yes.”
“Go and instruct them to bring forward the time of our return to China. We’ll leave tomorrow morning.”
“Okay.”
After Lin Jing retreated, Jun Shiling turned around, his gaze still on the steeple in the distance.
At this moment, at the top of the steeple, Xia Wanyuan leaned on the railing and quietly looked at the stars in the sky.
Yu Qian had walked up at some point and draped a coat over Xia Wanyuan. “You don’t want to leave??”
“Yu Qian.” Xia Wanyuan retracted her gaze from the sea of stars and looked at Yu Qian. “What are you after??”
Yu Qian’s hand that was putting clothes on Xia Wanyuan paused. “What??”
“What are you after?” Xia Wanyuan looked straight at Yu Qian, her cool eyes seeming to see through everything. “You didn’t have to get involved.”
Yu Qian’s eyes flickered. “When did you discover it?”
“The second day after we arrived in A World.”
Yu Qian retracted his hand. “That’s true. You’re such a smart person. We underestimated you.”
Xia Wanyuan did not speak again and only looked at Yu Qian quietly.
Yu Qian looked up at the sea of stars in the sky, his eyes suddenly filled with loneliness. “Is there a problem?”
“No.” Xia Wanyuan shook her head. “I just feel that some things are about to end, but you don’t have to get involved.”
Yu Qian chuckled, his smile not reaching his eyes. “Are you afraid?”
“What about you?” Xia Wanyuan asked Yu Qian.
“What’s there to be afraid of?” Yu Qian’s gaze circled the brightest star in the sky. “I hate the unknown, but this time, I’m looking forward to the direction of this chess piece.”
