Chapter 947: Chapter 947: Cease the Search

At the same time, at the South Sea Li Family Villa.

Xi Luo sat in the guest room, looking at two packages on the table, and glanced sideways at the maid, “When were they delivered?”

The maid, slightly older, not remarkable in appearance, said, “Three o’clock in the afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. Li were not here at the time, so I signed for it at the door and brought them to you.”

“Well done.” Xi Luo stroked her chin and poked the packages, “Keep a close eye on things for the next few days, and notify me immediately if you see any suspicious characters.”

The maid nodded and after briefly thinking added, “The delivery person today seemed a bit suspicious, had a heavy accent, unlike the South Sea people.”

Xi Luo took a utility knife from the drawer and carefully cut along the edges of the packages, speaking without looking up, “I’ll check the surveillance later.”

The maid took out her phone and placed it on the corner of the table, “I’ve already intercepted the footage.”

Xi Luo glanced at her, fiddling with the utility knife, “Do you know hacking techniques?”

This Li family maid was a spy she bribed for three hundred thousand.

Seems… it was worth it.

Seeing Xi Luo’s playful expression, the maid pursed her lips, “Miss Xi, I work for the Secret Hall Master. He instructed me to fully cooperate with you.”

“Master?” Xi Luo’s expression changed slightly. Which master?

The maid nodded, “Secret Hall Master, Shang Shaoyan, the South Sea Merchant.”

Xi Luo’s hand trembled, and the blade cut her finger.

Secret Hall… such a familiar name.

Xi Luo pressed her fingertip, watching the beads of blood seep out, and smiled slyly, “How many people did he arrange in the Li family?”

“There are ten people from the Secret Hall,” the maid said, looking at her, answering truthfully, “Additionally, there’s a team of unknown people lurking around, possibly arranged by the lady.”

Xi Luo tugged at her lips, feeling that her presence at the Li family was redundant.

This couple has clearly set up a tight protective net. With such meticulous protection, who could harm the Li family members?

Xi Luo didn’t say anything, she opened both packages, took out what’s inside and saw, her lips curled into a cold smile, “The South Sea Economic Forum, how come I didn’t receive an invitation?”

How could the Economic Forum possibly lack Shang Shaoyan, the South Sea Merchant?

Xi Luo tossed the invitation aside and opened another package, her expression subtly changed, but her smile grew even brighter.

Noticing her strange expression, the maid peeked to see, immediately furrowing her brows, “Miss Xi, this…”

Xi Luo squinted, took out the white transparent bag inside, and pinched the granular crystals, “Do you think anyone in the Li family would be foolish enough to mistake these for rock sugar?”

The maid swallowed hard, “Previously, except for documents, all other packages for the Li family would be sent to the storeroom, opened by a designated maid, and then reported collectively to the butler.”

Xi Luo took out three bags of crystals, and weighed them in her hand, “If unreported, leaving this many things at home, according to domestic law, it’s enough for a death sentence, right?”

“Not just that, most likely the entire family property would be confiscated.”

Xi Luo opened a bag and sniffed it twice, “The purity is quite high, investigate and find out who the accomplice is.”

Using this method to harm the Li family, even Xi Luo felt a bit frightened.

If she hadn’t arranged for the packages to be intercepted earlier, once investigated, even Shang Yu and Li Qiao couldn’t save the Li family.

This thing, zero tolerance domestically.

Expected them to send people to cause disruption, but didn’t think they’d start by wanting the Li family dead.

…

Naypyidaw, Myanmar, late at night at 10:30, Liao Mountain Control Zone.

The thick night was dark and invisible, not even streetlights by the cliffside mountain road.

Three cars slowly stopped by the roadside, and several beams of car lights scattered the surrounding darkness.

Li Qiao got out of the car, looking at the cliffside railing that had been broken, not severely damaged, judging from the gap, the car front deliberately rushed off the cliff.

Soon, from the other side of the cliff slowly approached a black car.

The headlights flashed twice, stopped steadily, and He Chen and Yin Mo both came down.

“Zuo Xuan is down below.” He Chen, with a cigarette at the corner of his mouth, nodded toward the cliff below.

Yin Mo draped a thin shawl over her elbow, walked to Li Qiao’s side, raised her hand and placed it on her shoulder, “It just rained earlier, a bit chilly.”

Li Qiao wrapped herself in the shawl with thanks, took a step toward the railing, when suddenly her lower back was pulled tight, Shang Yu hooked her and activated the speaker on the phone, “Speak.”

Zuo Xuan’s voice came through clearly, “Master, in the grass where the bulletproof car fell, blood traces were found extending into the jungle. There are tire marks and footprints around, the shoe shape similar to combat boots, possibly someone came earlier. Judging by the wheel direction and footprint marks, they didn’t enter the jungle, should have left.”

Li Qiao’s originally calm expression tensed upon hearing this, pursed her lips as she looked into the depths of the cliff.

He Chen leaned back on the car hood, legs crossed in front of him, exhaling a puff of smoke upward, “Go into the jungle to search.”

“Zuo Xuan, cease the search.” This one, said by Li Qiao.

Zuo Xuan didn’t respond, while Shang Yu commanded in a deep voice, “Standby at the original location.”

“Yes, Master.”

The man ended the call, looking down at Li Qiao’s slightly tense cheeks, soothing her waistline with his palm, “Nothing will happen, hmm?”

He Chen also looked at Li Qiao, squinted slightly, “Not searching anymore?”

Li Qiao slightly shuffled forward, “Can Luoyu defuse mines?”

“Has had training, but may not be proficient.” Shang Yu’s eyes were deep as the sea, embracing Li Qiao tightly, he leaned down and asked, “Are there mines in the jungle?”

Li Qiao closed her eyes briefly, “Within three kilometers below the cliff, it’s an uninhabited minefield.”

A gust of wind swept over, howling through the canyon valley, sending chills down their spines.

He Chen stood up from the hood, the playful glint vanished, “Are you sure?”

Li Qiao glanced at He Chen, not having time to say much more, took Shang Yu’s phone and called Zuo Xuan again, “Is the bulletproof car’s trunk damaged?”

Zuo Xuan stepped between the grass and boulders to return to the bulletproof car nearby, “Madam, the trunk is deformed, it can’t be opened.”

“Go to the driver’s seat, between the two seats there’s a built-in remote control, see if it’s still there. If so, press the red button.”

Zuo Xuan followed her instructions, while He Chen glanced at Shang Yu’s serene demeanor, then beckoned to Yin Mo with his finger.

Yin Mo walked calmly in front of him, her delicately arched eyes holding confusion as she met his gaze.

He Chen pursed his lips, lowered his voice and asked, “Does she have any other identities in Myanmar?”

Yin Mo shook her head slightly, “I don’t know.”

“Besides eating, do you know anything?”

Yin Mo answered with an air of inevitability, “Seven Sons ask no origins nor sources.”

He Chen looked at her with indescribable expression, then changed his approach, “Do you know what she knows?”

Yin Mo glanced down at her toes, said she didn’t.

Then she raised her head again, her eyes bright, proudly saying, “But what I know, Qi Zai knows all.”

He Chen: “…”

How in the hell is that something to be proud of?
