The three loud sounds were like the noise of fireworks ascending to the sky, so they generally did not catch the attention of ordinary people. However, only Sheng Shaochen, Sun Nanjue, and An Zhe could discern that these were not ordinary fireworks but the sound of a signal arrow with one long and two short bursts—the secret signal agreed upon within their iron triangle.
That meant, at this moment, either Sun Nanjue or An Zhe was waiting outside.
Sheng Shaochen cast a meaningful glance towards Guan Jiu at the temple entrance. After receiving the hint, Guan Jiu immediately exited the temple.
Soon, Guan Jiu returned, cautiously walked up to Sheng Shaochen, and whispered, "Young Master, An Zhe requests to see you, it’s extremely urgent..."
Sheng Shaochen nodded, stood up, and walked over to the Old Lady, "Grandma, I need to step out for a while."
The Old Lady, seated in front of Buddha with her eyes lightly closed, nodded and said, "Go and come back quickly."
After leaving the temple, Sheng Shaochen quickly walked towards the main gate. Just as he reached the door, An Zhe had already opened the car door, "Ah Chen, get in!"
As soon as Sheng Shaochen got into the minivan, before he could even ask, An Zhe closed the door, pulled down the curtains, and then turned on the video on the tablet, "Take a close look."
In just three minutes, the video had caused the usually unflappable Sheng Shaochen’s face to change, "Where did this video come from?"
"Ah Chen, you need to be prepared." An Zhe paused, "This video, it was given to me by Lady Ye Shu."
"What?" Sheng Shaochen was alarmed again, "Did she tell you anything?"
"Don’t worry, she doesn’t know much yet. The video was sent to her anonymously through email, instructing her to retrieve it from a storage locker in the mall. She had tried to call you earlier, but your phone was turned off, so she called me."
"Did she call the police?" Sheng Shaochen seemed more anxious than ever before.
"No, I told her to not reveal a word about this video to anyone, to avoid arousing any suspicion." After saying this, An Zhe couldn’t help but sigh, "Ah Chen, I really don’t know whether what I’m doing is right or wrong. I never intended to deceive her, but—"
"You did very well!" Sheng Shaochen cut him off, "This matter must not progress any further!"
An Zhe sighed, "That’s what I think too. If Lady Ye Shu finds out about the assassin in black clothing and his employment relationship with Grandma, I fear for what might happen between you and her..."
"Enough, I will figure this out. But until I do, make sure she doesn’t find out anything about Black Knight." Sheng Shaochen said as he turned on his phone and sent out a few messages.
An Zhe still worried, "But Ah Chen, I’m afraid if we don’t make progress soon, given her personality, she will definitely hire a private detective to investigate, and if she actually discovers anything..."
At that moment, Guan Jiu received the text message, jogged over, opened the door, and got into the car, "Young Master, what are your orders?"
Sheng Shaochen spoke gravely, "Immediately give the order to track down Black Flag’s whereabouts. If you’re confident, you may strike first without further orders!"
"Young Master, you want to eliminate Black Flag?" Guan Jiu was incredibly shocked, "Black Flag is one of Grandma’s men; if Grandma finds out, we—"
"Just execute the order, don’t trouble yourself with the rest. Be cautious and make sure to succeed in one strike!"
"Yes, Young Master!" Guan Jiu responded and departed.
Seeing Sheng Shaochen’s decisive manner, An Zhe couldn’t help but secretly admire him, "Ah Chen, is there anything else I need to do?"
