Chapter 566 A Deeper Mist
Although it was only three words, Kong Wange could clearly sense the other party's wariness.
She asked as she had agreed with Murong Ting beforehand: "I am Wen Zirou's friend. She got into trouble and asked me to contact you, saying that you can help her."
"I don't know any Wen Zirou, you've dialed the wrong number." After saying that, the other party hung up the phone.
Kong Wange frowned and quickly dialed again, but the other end of the line responded with a mechanical voice saying "The number you dialed is currently switched off."
She tried calling several times without success, so she had to put down her phone and look at Murong Ting: "The person on the other end is definitely Boss Tang."
Murong Ting nodded: "I'll have someone locate the phone number's position."
He said he walked to the side to make a phone call.
...
At the same time, on the hillside, in a villa.
In a dark, secret room on the second basement level, a man dressed in a Tang suit sat behind a wide chair, playing with several pieces of shimmering jade in his hands.
Beside him stood a man dressed in a black outfit, bowing respectfully.
It is indeed a thousand streams.
Qianliu said respectfully, "Congratulations, my lord. We have obtained the Wen family's jade eye. The great undertaking is about to succeed."
"You've worked hard these past few years infiltrating the Wen family," the man in the chair said in a deep voice, his face pale.
"I would gladly die for my lord."
The man in the chair nodded in satisfaction: "You'll stay by my side for the rest of the time. You've suffered so much outside, it's time for you to enjoy some peace and quiet."
"Everything is up to the Lord."
"Okay, there's nothing more for you here. Go and rest."
Qianliu nodded upon hearing this, turned to leave, but was stopped again.
"Wait, take this and destroy it along with the rest."
Qianliu looked at the phone that had just been answered and respectfully took it: "Yes."
"Be quick and efficient, the faster the better."
Qianliu held the phone, which hadn't rung in many years, and after thinking for a moment, asked, "What does Master think this phone call that just came in was...?"
The man in the Tang suit narrowed his eyes and coughed a few times, saying, "No matter who it is, it's not a good sign. My identity has probably already attracted the attention of some people. Keep a low profile for the time being and don't run around unnecessarily."
Qianliu nodded: "Yes, by the way, Dr. Xu went to Tibet to buy medicine and we haven't been able to contact him for three days. Should we arrange for someone to go and check on him?"
The man in the Tang suit waved his hand and continued coughing: "She told me before that the signal is bad in Tibet, so let's wait a bit longer."
Qianliu nodded: "Alright, then please take care of yourself, my lord. I'll take my leave now."
In the dim light, the man in the Tang suit sat on a wide chair, turning over the three jade pendants in his hand and arranging them in a row.
The three jade pendants are white, cyan, and red, respectively.
Upon closer inspection, each jade pendant is very similar in style, except for the different small traditional Chinese characters engraved in the lower right corner: Tang, An, and Wen.
Of the three jade pendants, the last one is the most vibrant in color.
He picked up the Blood Phoenix Jade Pendant, stroked it carefully, and finally let out a long breath.
All these years have been worthwhile; the Jade Eye has arrived. Once the other two are gathered, the great undertaking will be accomplished.
...
The main hall of the Wen family residence.
"How did it go?" Kong Wange asked hurriedly when she saw Murong Ting come back after finishing his call.
Murong Ting shook his head: "The number has been cancelled."
"Cancelled? So fast?!" Kong Wange exclaimed in astonishment.
"This person is too cautious. He probably canceled the number as soon as he hung up, not giving us any time to investigate." Murong Ting felt a little annoyed.
The clue was right in front of them, but they could only watch it slip away.
Kong Wange also felt it was a pity, but could only comfort her by saying, "It's not all for nothing. At least we know that your parents' deaths are also related to this 'Boss Tang'."
Murong Ting's expression turned solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "That's right. It seems that the person who called my parents to arrange a meeting back then, which led to their car accident, and the person who gave Wen Zirou the advice to kill your mother, is him."
Kong Wange gripped her phone tightly: "So, it wasn't the Wen family who killed your parents, but this Boss Tang. But who exactly is this Boss Tang?"
His intention to kill both Murong Ting's parents and her mother sounds utterly insane and absurd.
"Have your parents ever offended someone like Boss Tang?"
Murong Ting shook his head.
Kong Wange asked, puzzled, "Then what exactly is this Boss Tang after? It's obvious he's not after money or power."
Murong Ting's gaze deepened: "There must be some underlying connection that we've overlooked."
Seeing his worried expression, Kong Wange stepped forward to comfort him, saying, "Alright, if you can't figure it out, don't think about it for now. Trust me, as long as we persevere, we will definitely be able to find out who this Boss Tang is."
Murong Ting looked at her and naturally pulled her into his arms.
Although there are still many unknowns ahead, at least for this moment, they can still lean on each other and feel lucky.
The man's arms were broad and strong, and she felt as if she had found a safe harbor, but exhaustion overwhelmed her.
