Chapter: 2924
Buckingham Palace is Chen Zekai’s territory, and Su Chengfeng has no way to find out what happens there. This means he won’t know who Su Zhiyu met during his visit to the palace.
As noon approached, rumors continued to swirl about the car that was struck by lightning at Phoenix Mountain Cemetery. However, no one had linked this incident to Xuan Fengnian yet. Even Su Chengfeng remained unaware that the person he had high hopes for, Xuan Fengnian, was now in a difficult situation.
By noon, the police released a missing person notice. They had identified the car involved in the lightning strike based on its registration information. The vehicle belonged to a rental company, so the police were able to track down who had rented it. Thanks to the country’s strict identification rules, Xuan Fengnian couldn’t hide his identity when he rented the car; he used his British passport.
This led the Jinling police to their first important clue: the car that was struck by lightning was rented by Xuan Fengnian, an Englishman. However, they only found the wreckage of the car and no sign of him.
Since the car had been struck by lightning, the police needed to act quickly to find Xuan Fengnian. Early that morning, they began searching for more information. They reviewed surveillance footage and confirmed that Xuan Fengnian had indeed driven the car out of Jinling City and headed towards Phoenix Mountain. This evidence heightened their interest in locating him since it suggested that he was in the area when the lightning struck.
Xuan Fengnian had turned into a lifeless shell, and then he vanished. The authorities were worried that he might suffer the same fate as the security guard at the cemetery, so finding him was their top priority. They organized police teams to search all around Phoenix Mountain. At the same time, they followed standard procedures by issuing notices to the public about Xuan Fengnian, hoping to gather useful tips from anyone who might have seen him.
Despite their efforts, the public didn’t pay much attention to the notice. To most people, Xuan Fengnian was just a name they didn’t recognize, and they were indifferent to his fate. However, the Su family’s spies quickly caught wind of the situation.
At that moment, Su Chengfeng was in his study, having a private conversation with He Lao. He Lao was the Su family’s strongest warrior and Su Chengfeng’s last line of defense. If He Lao fell, Su Chengfeng would be left without support.
He Lao had come to discuss Xuan Fengnian. He asked Su Chengfeng, “Master, are you planning to let him kill He Hongsheng after dealing with the mysterious man?”
Su Chengfeng replied honestly, “That’s not the plan. He Hongsheng has become a four-star warrior now. If I can’t use him, he will become a serious threat in the future. I can’t let him remain a danger!”
Elder He nodded and said, “Master, I have a request.”
Su Chengfeng encouraged him, “Go ahead, Old He. No need to be so formal.”
With a serious expression, Elder He continued, “Since He Hongsheng has managed to become a four-star warrior…”
As a martial artist, there has to be some possibility that he has learned a new internal boxing technique. Since Xuanfeng Nian is skilled in using Gu, he must have a variety of unique skills. I think it would be wise for him to consider this and pressure He Hongsheng into sharing the cultivation method!
