Chapter 1592 - 1897: Jiang Yue’e’s Name
"Apart from his name, did you find out anything else?" Ling Chen asked.
Nanrong Wanqing shook her head and said, "I’ve tried everything, but couldn’t get anything out of him. Also, Officer Xia helped us check his identity, but found nothing."
"He doesn’t have any new wounds on his body, and there have been no mysterious murders in the news reports these days. This suggests that he didn’t come to Beijing to carry out a mission. Perhaps... the assassin organization behind him is in Beijing, and he might have escaped."
After hearing Ling Chen’s words, Nanrong Hao said curiously, "Chen, such a person shouldn’t easily flee, right? No matter what assassin organization he’s behind, it’s clear they’ve trained him well. Do you think someone like him would escape aimlessly?"
"That’s true." Ling Chen glanced at Qiang beside him and said, "Why don’t we... keep him by your side for now, after all, he’s quite strong. Since he listens to you, he could be a good bodyguard."
"Chen, what if he goes crazy?" Nanrong Hao said worriedly, "We don’t have the ability to stop him unless you’re with us, otherwise, we won’t feel safe."
"Alright!" Ling Chen smiled and nodded, "I’m free during this time, so I’ll be your bodyguard and experience my old life."
"Fatty, looks like you’ll have to go back alone today?"
"Um..." Hu Fei nudged Ling Chen’s arm and whispered, "I need to talk to you."
"What’s so secretive?" Ling Chen was curious. Ever since Hu Fei came to Beijing, Ling Chen had felt something off about him, always acting mysteriously.
Seeing Hu Fei not speak, Ling Chen said, "Wanqing, Fatty and I are going out for a while, I’ll go straight to the company to find you later."
"Alright."
Upon leaving the hospital, Hu Fei dragged Ling Chen to a secluded corner, looking around cautiously. Seeing his careful demeanor, Ling Chen couldn’t help but ask, "Fatty, what’s so important that you had to drag me here?"
"It’s just that with Miss Nanrong there, some things are inconvenient to say."
Upon hearing this, Ling Chen’s heart moved, "Are you going to say something related to Wanqing?"
"A few days ago, while browsing the assassin intermediary website, I discovered a set of garbled codes. Out of curiosity, I downloaded them onto my computer and used decryption software to break them down. Later, I found that the codes were incredibly complex, definitely not something average people could make — the other party must be a computer expert."
Hu Fei said, "Generally, the information on assassin intermediary websites is encrypted, but the difficulty isn’t too high. Anyone with a bit of technical know-how could easily decrypt it. However, this set of codes far surpassed that level. I spent days to barely decrypt a segment."
This piqued Ling Chen’s interest. He asked curiously, "What did the decrypted content say?"
"Just three words, Jiang Yue’e."
"Jiang Yue’e?" Ling Chen’s face changed dramatically, eyes wide open, "Are you sure the decrypted content is correct?"
"Absolutely correct." Hu Fei said with certainty, "I’m confident in this area. After decrypting this name, I’ve been wondering, could Jiang Yue’e be the target? But if she’s just a simple target, the other party wouldn’t use such difficult encryption. The strangest thing is, ten minutes after the codes were released, someone deleted them from the site without a trace. Luckily, I’d downloaded the codes onto my computer beforehand, allowing me to decrypt these three words."
Jiang Yue’e... Ling Chen frowned slightly. If it were someone else, he wouldn’t be so concerned. But Jiang Yue’e is different; she’s Nanrong Wanqing’s mother. Shortly after Nanrong Wanqing and Nanrong Hao were born, Jiang Yue’e left the Nanrong Family and has been unheard of since. Back then, Nanrong Wanqing’s father, Nanrong Yuan, joined the God Organization to find Jiang Yue’e and rescue her so the family could reunite.
Unfortunately, Nanrong Yuan was killed before fulfilling his wish.
Now, all of a sudden, there’s a lead on Jiang Yue’e. No matter what, he must investigate thoroughly. Thoughts racing, Ling Chen asked, "Fatty, when can the other codes be decrypted?"
"I’m not sure. But Jiang Yue’e’s name appearing on the assassin intermediary website, this might not be good news."
"Since it’s an intermediary website, there’s definitely someone operating behind the scenes. Can you find that person and check who posted those codes?"
"That method won’t work." Hu Fei said, "Assassin intermediary websites have their rules; we can’t break them."
"Why worry? We’re not assassins, why follow these rules? Alright! Do as I say, find the person running the website, I’ll question him personally. If he’s willing to cooperate, money isn’t an issue. Also, decrypt the other codes quickly; I need to know all the information."
"Okay, I’ll handle it right away when I get back."
"Wait!" Suddenly, Ling Chen remembered something and stopped Hu Fei, "There’s one more thing, investigate the Jiang Family. Jiang Yue’e is part of the Jiang Family. When she left the Nanrong Family, it was the Jiang Family who caused problems. Maybe they know something about her."
"Understood."
After watching Hu Fei leave, Ling Chen headed to the hospital entrance where he saw Nanrong Wanqing and Nanrong Hao walking out with Qiang.
"Chen, where’s Hu?"
"He went back to East Sea City first. Let’s go, I’ll take the car with you and head back."
Seeing Ling Chen, Qiang immediately became alert, his eyes constantly scanning Ling Chen. Every time Ling Chen and Nanrong Wanqing interacted, Qiang’s eyes seemed to be suppressing a murderous intent. Fortunately, he listened to Nanrong Wanqing, otherwise, he might have already attacked Ling Chen.
Returning home, Nanrong Hao arranged a room for Ling Chen, right next to Nanrong Wanqing’s.
"Chen, at night I’ll stay on the third floor with Qiang, you stay on the second floor with Sister, don’t worry, we won’t disturb you." Saying this, Nanrong Hao gave an ambiguous smile.
"Go away, daring to joke about me, want me to beat you up?" Ling Chen glared at Nanrong Hao and then pushed the door to enter his room.
After resting for a while, Ling Chen suddenly heard the ringtone from his phone in his pocket. He answered the call, "Elder Tong, do you need something?"
"Just got contacted by Master Su, she agreed to our proposal."
