"A code?" Ye Luo furrowed his brows and looked at Chen Qianqian, "Qianqian, did your grandfather ever mention any numbers or anything like that to you?"
Chen Qianqian thought for a moment and shook her head, "Grandpa didnât tell me any numbers, but before he was taken away, he told me that it was almost my birthday, but unfortunately, he wouldnât be able to celebrate it with me."
"Your birthday?" Ye Luoâs expression narrowed, asking, "Qianqian, when is your birthday?"
Chen Qianqian recited a series of numbers. He Fang glanced at Ye Luo, who nodded, and He Fang promptly entered a series of numbers into the safe. Suddenly, the safe was opened.
"You really got it right, kid," He Fang said with a smile, looking at Ye Luo before turning his attention to the safe. There were only two things inside the safe, a letter and a black key.
"Whatâs this?" He Fang picked up the black key and the letter. Ye Luo took the key to inspect it, noting the strange patterns on it and its unusual texture, which did not seem like ordinary metal.
"The Three Great Malicious Weapons!"
At this moment, He Fang, who had opened the letter, suddenly changed his expression and couldnât help exclaiming.
"Team leader, what are the Three Great Malicious Weapons?" Leng Ruobing asked, her eyes flashing with confusion as she looked at He Fang.
Snatching the key from Ye Luoâs hands, He Fang resealed the letter, his expression extremely grave, "You donât need to concern yourselves with this matter. I need to head back now. You two keep looking for other clues."
After finishing his words, He Fang hurriedly left the place. Leng Ruobing and Ye Luo exchanged glances, their eyes flickering with confusion.
"Miss Leng, do you know about these Three Great Malicious Weapons?" Ye Luo couldnât help but ask.
Leng Ruobingâs eyes flickered as she said, "I have heard of the Three Great Malicious Weapons. They are said to be three ancient weapons infused with vast quantities of evil energy, named Dragon Tooth, Tiger Wing, and Dog Deity. However, these weapons have been lost for thousands of years. What does this have to do with the current situation?"
Ye Luo shook his head, "I donât know, but I have a feeling that something big might happen."
"Big brother, Grandpa is gone now, what should I do?" Chen Qianqian had a lost and helpless look, her face streaked with tears, looking very pitiful.
"Qianqian, donât you have other relatives? What about your parents?" Ye Luo asked involuntarily.
"My parents passed away when I was very young. I only have an aunt," Chen Qianqian said in a weak voice.
"Qianqian! Qianqian!" At that moment, a womanâs voice called out, and a gaudily dressed, heavily made-up middle-aged woman rushed in.
"Auntie!" Seeing the woman, Chen Qianqian quickly called out.
"Qianqian, are you alright? I already know about your grandfather. Auntie has been so worried about you," the middle-aged woman said with a worried look on her face, though her expression seemed somewhat forced.
Ye Luoâs gaze fixed on the woman, his eyes flashing with insight. Then Chen Qianqianâs aunt turned to Ye Luo and Leng Ruobing, "Who are you people? What are you doing in my house?"
"Ms. Chen, hello. Weâre from the Special Security Bureau, responsible for investigating the abduction of Mr. Chen," Leng Ruobing said icily.
"The person is missing, what use is your investigation?" The woman snorted indifferently and directly said to Chen Qianqian, "Letâs go, Qianqian. Auntie has something to tell you."
Then the woman pulled Chen Qianqian by the hand and left the place.
"That woman is not simple," Leng Ruobingâs cold voice sounded.
Ye Luo said indifferently, "No matter what, as long as she can take good care of Qianqian, that will be fine. We still need to quickly investigate who is responsible for this, right?"
After several hours of hard work, Ye Luo and his team ultimately confirmed that these people were from the Maple Leaf Organization.
"I never imagined that Capital City would still have so many masters from the Maple Leaf Organization hidden within, to attempt such a bold and audacious act. They truly are crazy," said Wang Ruofeng, his face emotionless, in a conference room at the headquarters of the Special Security Bureau.
"We have been negligent," He Fang spoke, his brows furrowed tightly. "We thought we had annihilated the Maple Leaf Organizationâs elite members and that Capital City was free of them, but we didnât expect them to pull such a stunt."
"Regardless, the Maple Leaf Organization has truly slapped us in the face this time. No matter what, we must retrieve the Imperial Jade Seal and the elderly Mr. Chen."
"Otherwise, the prestige of the Special Security Bureau will be completely lost. Most importantly, based on what we know, the Maple Leaf Organization might be planning something big. If they pull it off, the whole of Huaxia could plunge into chaos," stated Zhao Gang with a serious face.
"Director, what exactly does the Maple Leaf Organization intend to do? And what is the background of this organization?" Ye Luo couldnât help but ask.
"We still havenât been able to completely understand the background of the Maple Leaf Organization, but we do know that the leader of the organization is from Huaxia, and that his martial arts prowess is extremely terrifying. What they plan to do, I canât say for now, but itâs definitely something that could cause great harm to Huaxia, so we must find them as quickly as possible," Zhao Gang said gravely.
After spending more than an hour at the Special Security Bureau, Ye Luo finally left and returned to the Capital City Grand Hotel. As for Ling Qingya, she remained in the hospital with her father.
However, as soon as Ye Luo returned to the hotel, he ran into Han Mengxi.
"What are you doing here?" Ye Luo couldnât help asking when he saw Han Mengxi.
"I heard that you had died and it really shocked me. Thank goodness I later heard the news that you were fine. So, I came to see you today," Han Mengxi said, her large eyes blinking and her mouth revealing a sweet smile.
"Thank you for your concern," Ye Luo said with a smile.
"You havenât eaten yet, have you? Letâs go have dinner together," suggested Han Mengxi directly.
"Great, I havenât eaten anything all day," replied Ye Luo, patting his stomach. He had been busy with one thing or another all day and indeed hadnât eaten much.
Then Han Mengxi took Ye Luo to a restaurant and ordered a pile of food to eat.
"Youâre not afraid of getting fat from eating so much?" Ye Luo asked with a laugh as he watched Han Mengxi devour a pile of food.
"I was born beautiful. I donât get fat no matter what I eat," retorted Han Mengxi defiantly, continuing to eat.
Meanwhile, two men walked into the restaurant, each with a young, sexy woman on their arms. These men were Situ Ao and Han Mengxiâs brother, Han Xing.
"Master Situ, is that the guy?" Han Xing spotted Ye Luo and cast a glance towards Situ Ao.
Situ Ao, with eyes flashing coldly, fixed his gaze on Ye Luo and strode over.
