Sara stated sharply, “That’s impossible. The other party set the fire to eliminate any evidence. In a master’s game, every move is deliberate. Absolutely!”<fncee4> ???? ????s? ???????s ?? f?ndnovel</fncee4>
She then added, “We need them to conduct a thorough check right away! Look into the employees at the general aviationpany—who was on duty yesterday, who they encountered, and anything unusual. Ask everyone!”
Jadiel responded quickly, “Understood, Your Majesty! I will ry your orders immediately!”
Before long, the scout acted on Sara’s instructions, gathering information and returning with updates.
Upon receiving the news, Jadiel was taken aback and hurriedly reported to Sara, “Master Ying, we have a lead! Latest night, Chen Zhimin personally arranged for a helicopter. He ordered the pilot from the General Aviation Company to fly to the vicinity of Manhattan Hospital. After the helicopter arrived, it went straight to the roof of the hospital.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Sara furrowed her brows and asked, “And then?”
Jadiel continued, “After that, Chen Zhimin dismissed the pilot, indicating that he could operate the helicopter himself. The pilot, not wanting to disobey, left the helicopter with him and departed.”
Sara probed further, “What other information did the pilot possess?”
“None,” Jadiel replied. “After leaving the hospital, the pilot took a taxi home to rest. Today, he was called in by the police to assist with their investigation.” He then added, “The police also questioned the employees on duty in the hangar early this morning. They reported that before dawn, Chen Zhimin returned the helicopter to the general aviationpany alone. After towing it into the hangar, he sent the staff away. Shortly thereafter, the hangar caught fire, and it was a significant ze, indicating possible foul y.”
Sara fell silent for a moment before responding with a heavy heart, “It seems Uncle Chen Zhimin and Sean are likely dead. I never anticipated that the four great earls under my Po Qing Hui, who had been undefeated for decades, would all fall in such rapid session.”
As she spoke, she shook her head, fists clenched, and growled with a fierce expression, “What pains me the most is that four counts have perished without me even catching a glimpse of their shadows. Whose names were they, and how many were in theirmand? I am in the dark! In over three hundred years, except for the time I was chased into the Hundred Thousand Mountains by the Qing army, I have never felt so powerless. Damn it!”
Jadiel’s expression was tinged with sadness, but more so with concern.
The loss of the four great earls would undoubtedly have a monumental impact on the entire Qing Dynasty, causing him, the three elders, and the Wu family, who lead the Fifth Army Governor’s Mansion, to question and worry about the future.
Once doubt creeps into their minds, the stability that has endured for three centuries could crumble from within.
At that moment, Jadiel suddenly received a call, and his expression shifted dramatically as he eximed to Sara, “Master Ying! The Zuo Army Governor’s Office has reported that Chen Zhimin chartered a business jet and took off from New York early this morning, heading to China!”
“What?!” Sara’s heart raced, and she eximed, “Is this for real?!”
“It’s absolutely true!” Jadiel confirmed. “He indeed chartered the ne, and the flight n was from New York to Beijing. The ne has been airborne for over three hours now!”
Sara’s heart tightened as she asked, “Do you think Chen Zhimin is on that flight?!”
Jadiel replied, “Master Ying, my subordinates don’t dare make assumptions, but the timing of the flight is too coincidental. Plus, the antique dealer has also vanished. It cannot be dismissed that Chen Zhimin could have taken control of the antique dealer, acquired the treasure you wanted, and escaped with it to China…”
However, he reconsidered his theory, shaking his head. “No, Chen Zhimin has always been valued by you, and his family is under our control. He would never dare betray you. Besides, he requires the antidote regrly. Without it, even if he attempted betrayal, how long could he survive? It’s hard to see any reason for him to turn against you!”
Sara countered, “The circumstances today are not what they were over the past three hundred years. In all that time, I have faced no challenger, nor have I encountered anyone capable of undoing my poison. But now, we have a formidable opponent. They may have found a way to counteract it!”
Continuing, Sara added, “Consider the incident in Cyprus: the entire copper mine was destroyed, yet only Jian Gongbo’s remains were found. This indicates the other party had already evacuated the others alive; otherwise, they could have killed everyone in the explosion. Why would those soldiers and knights willingly follow him if they knew they couldn’t survive without the antidote? It’s very likely the other party has found a way to detoxify them!”
Jadiel’s expression grew serious as he asked urgently, “Master Ying, should we find a way to intercept that ne?!”
“Absolutely! We must stop it!” Sara dered without hesitation. “Instruct our personnel who have infiltrated the U.S. intelligence system to report their real names to the Department of Homnd Security, iming someone is carrying crucial secrets and fleeing to China on that flight. They need to adopt a style that will convince the Americans. That ne will surely be ordered back for an investigation!”
Jadiel instinctively replied, “Master Ying, it would be safer to have someone report this anonymously. If we use our infiltrated individual’s real name, it could expose them.”
“It doesn’t matter,” Sara stated tly. “Tell him this is a chance to make a significant contribution. After he reports, he should take his own life. Once he’s gone, his family will be secure.”
“By ensuring his death, not only will he remain undetected, but it will further convince the Americans that something serious is afoot. If that happens, even if they deploy the air force, they will certainly return the ne!”
