"What my junior sister said was all passed down from our ancestors, but this is indeed a jasper bead!"
Zhang Meng frowned. "Okay, I believe the black bead in your hand is a jasper bead, right? But you just said you wanted me to find those jasper beads. What do you mean by that? I don't even know what jasper beads are. If I hadn't heard what you just said, I wouldn't have known that such a thing as jasper beads existed in this world."
The handsome man frowned and said with certainty, "My master's prediction couldn't be wrong. He said you are the key to finding the Jade Pearl. So you are, but you just don't know it yet." "Do I have to follow you to find that Jade Pearl?"
"You have to go, Zhang Meng. You don't know the importance of this jade bead. If it is found by bad guys first, the consequences will be disastrous, do you know?" Xiao Ling said excitedly.
Zhang Meng glanced at the three brothers and sisters.
Before she could speak, Chief Shu's anxious voice rang out beside her, "You two go ahead. I'll send someone else to follow up on things here. You two can handle this matter for now."
Zhang Meng looked towards Gu Mingtai at this time. The couple looked at each other.
Gu Mingtai then spoke up, "Let me make it clear in advance that we are only partners. While searching for the Jade Bead, please each take care of your own safety. My wife and I are not responsible for your safety!"
Xiao Ling, the little girl, was so angry that her face turned red. "What do you mean? Do you think the three of us brothers and sisters need your help? Haha, we are also very capable, okay?"
The handsome man patted her shoulder.
Xiao Ling glanced at him and then closed her mouth unwillingly, but in the end she still glared at Gu Mingtai angrily.
The handsome man gave Gu Mingtai a friendly smile. "Don't worry about that. The three of us brothers and sisters will definitely not become a burden to you two. We will only be your helpers. We promise."
"That would be better. When do we set out to look for the jade beads?" Gu Mingtai asked coldly.
"Of course, the sooner the better. As far as I know, the R countrymen are already searching for the remaining jade beads! And they're trying to stop us from finding the jade beads and saving people. I guess our journey won't be peaceful. And in order to find the remaining jade beads before they do, we have to leave early."
Gu Mingtai nodded and said, "Let's set out to look for it in two days! We need some time to prepare some things."
The three brothers and sisters sitting on the sofa looked at each other.
The handsome man replied, "No problem. We will meet you at the gate of the military area in two days."
Gu Mingtai did not answer him, but took Zhang Meng's hand and walked out of the office directly.
Chief Shu's face flushed with anger again. He pointed at Gu Mingtai's back and cursed, "This brat is increasingly disrespecting me as his superior. It's making me so angry."
Coming down from the building, Zhang Meng looked up at the man beside her and asked, "Gu Mingtai, how much do you know about the people in the South China Sea?"
Gu Mingtai looked ahead with a sullen expression, his eyes fixed on the front. He shook his head slightly and said, "I know nothing, but my master should know. Let's go back and ask him."
After the two came out, they first went back to the military district office.
When Wang Qingliu learned that the two of them were leaving the case, a look of loss immediately appeared on his face.
Seeing this, Gu Mingtai stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder. "Although Xiao Meng and I are no longer following this case, I will send my capable assistant to investigate it with you. I will also not ignore this case. Even if we leave this case, I will continue to follow it."
With his words, Wang Qingliu, whose morale had been broken, regained confidence in his eyes. He nodded vigorously to Zhang Meng and Gu Mingtai, "I know, don't worry, I will definitely solve this case and give justice to those missing women."
The three of them discussed in the military district office for a long time until Wang Qingliu was able to take on the case alone. Then the couple returned to the family area. When they got home, they asked Grandma Zhang about Monk Jingchen and learned that he was growing vegetables in the vegetable garden behind the house. They turned around and went there again, and finally found Monk Jingchen hoeing the ground in the vegetable garden that belonged to their family.
Monk Jingchen, who was hoeing the ground, heard someone calling his name. He turned around and saw that it was Gu Mingtai and his wife. He looked up at the sky and said, "Strange, aren't you at work at this time? Why are you back so early?"
Gu Mingtai strode behind him, snatched the hoe from his hand and put it aside.
When Monk Jingchen saw him snatch his hoe away, he angrily tried to grab it back, "You little bastard, why are you trying to steal my hoe? Give it back to me quickly, I still need to hoe the ground."
Zhang Meng stepped forward and looked up, but he stopped her and said to him seriously, "Master Jingchen, stop hoeing the ground. Gu Mingtai and I have something important to ask you. Let's sit down first."
Before he could react, Zhang Meng helped him sit on the open space next to him.
Seeing that he couldn't hoe the soil anytime soon, Monk Jingchen had no choice but to sit down with them and ask, "What do you two want to ask me? Ask it."
Gu Mingtai immediately asked, "Master, how much do you know about the situation in the South China Sea? Can you tell us about it?"
"Why are you asking about this place?" Monk Jingchen frowned, looking like he didn't want to talk about it anymore.
Zhang Meng then spoke up, "It's not that I really want to ask, but now that they've come to our door, we have no choice but to find out more about their background."
