The stolen magic is a bit magical

"The manor? Everything in this manor has already been moved out, and all the information we could gather is already in front of you. Are we still going?"

"Trust the detective's eyes, Senior Sister!" Lin Xiaosu said.

Lan Yao smiled sweetly: "Okay, Senior Brother!"

The title "senior sister" originated from their first meeting.

No matter how much time has passed, whenever Lin Xiaosu utters the word "senior sister," Lan Yao feels a special kind of warmth in her heart.

This was the first time in her life that she had ever used the term "senior brother".

This form of address seems to reflect a shift in the relationship.

Now, she is willing to regard him as a brother.

Among those who share the same path, the most capable are considered elder brothers...

She admitted that Lin Xiaosu was better than her!
The flying car sped southeast, and Lin Xiaosu closed her eyes.

His mind raced...

Who could deliver a secret message to Qianlong, telling him the most explosive and confidential information?

With thousands of members in the Hidden Dragons, who knows who the leader of Hydra in the Great Xia region is?
If someone knew that all it took was this one message, they could earn the Hidden Dragon Annual Medal.

Therefore, it is clear that the person who delivered this message could not possibly be Qianlong, nor could it be anyone from the secular world seeking fame or profit. Because in this world, Qianlong represents orthodoxy, and eliminating the leader of the Hydra is itself a matter of national importance; it is not something shameful, but rather the most sacred thing.

Why would someone treat something so sacred, glorious, invaluable, and meritorious as something shameful to do?
Who is he?
The signature is even stranger; it has no name or code, but instead features a six-eared "Left Master".

What does the Six-Eared Left Hand represent?
What was his intention?

Even with his extraordinary intelligence, his ever-changing mind, and his extensive reading, he still couldn't find the answer.

Maybe I could ask someone.

Who to look for?
He has a few goals you can ask him, but the current task isn't to dwell on that...

In the southeast, late spring flowers are scattered everywhere, especially a huge manor at the foot of a high mountain.

This manor, once bustling with endless prosperity, now only has blooming flowers, but no longer any splendor, because it is empty, and the entrance is sealed off.

The flying car landed within the manor, and a camera on the manor rotated halfway before stopping.

Lan Yao and Lin Xiaosu got out of the flying car.

Lin Xiaosu walked along the still clean and tidy bluestone path and entered the underground secret room.

He stayed in the secret room for a long time.

Lan Yao followed him the whole time, watching his gaze shift from indifference to delight...

She followed him to many places and witnessed many of his legendary detective work, but she still couldn't understand the basic principles behind his investigations.

Yes, time travel, there's no logic to it.

Once inside the manor and the secret chamber, as long as Wang Zhongze was here two months ago, even if he turned into a fly, he couldn't escape Lin Xiaosu's time travel.

He saw it.

Wang Zhongze was still alive a month ago!
It was still there even twenty days ago!
Thirteen days ago, he dragged a robot out of a secret room in the basement, and then he was gone.

Where did he go?
He completely transformed himself, from a small business owner in China into a dashing overseas Chinese man in his forties who had returned to China. This overseas Chinese man was carrying a suitcase containing many passports.

They have different identities.

The car sped through the air, and Lin Xiaosu registered two rooms in Liyang City, the capital of a southeastern province.

Since Lan Yao and he were currently in a senior-junior relationship, it wasn't appropriate for them to share a room. When she woke up the next day, Lin Xiaosu had already disappeared.

He returned as the sun was setting!
"I suspect you dumped me to cover up your detective skills, but I have no evidence. It's possible it's just because I slept in..." Lan Yao poured him tea with a hint of resentment.

Lin Xiaosu smiled: "The process is not important, the result is the most important."

"The result? There's a result?"

Lin Xiaosu raised her hand, and a photo was transmitted to Lan Yao through Longyan: "This is his current identity; he is currently in the Middle East!"

Lan Yao stared at the photo, her brows furrowed: "Compared to the naked eye, he... he and Wang Zhongze have less than 80% similarity."

"The mask is made of very advanced technology. Not only does it drastically change the face, but even the eyes are different, due to the contact lenses."

"Disguise, even the eyes are disguised..." Lan Yao said, "This overseas Chinese named Lewis, according to Longan's information search, is actually a real person, not a fabrication."

"That can only mean that he had a long-term plan and set up such an identity a long time ago."

Lan Yao let out a soft breath: "Are you really sure that this Lewis is Wang Zhongze?"

You can doubt my character, but you can't doubt my professionalism!

Lan Yao slowly raised her gaze: "Next is verification. Once the verification is successful, the value of this photo of yours will be... Do you want to go back to Fengcheng or Jiangcheng?"

Lin Xiaosu stared in disbelief: "Senior sister, please state the value!"

"If the verification is successful, you'll definitely get a bonus, at least... thirty thousand!"

"Damn! I thought it was three million! How could you say thirty thousand?"

"I can't stand you anymore, you're obsessed with money again. How many wives do you have to support? Even if you have a lot, I can tell from your eyes that they're all very good at making money, so they're actually very easy to support. Just your nominal girlfriend from Jiangcheng alone has a net worth of 50 billion. Once you've settled things with her, you can let her support the rest of your wives..."

A few words that didn't quite sound like those of a Heavenly King came out of her mouth, carrying an unreadable meaning, and the Blue Demon Flying Car took Lin Xiaosu back to Phoenix City.

She didn't mention the next step. Because she didn't dare.

In a foreign land, he is the best candidate to track down someone who always blends into the crowd.

However, Lan Yao had her own selfish motives, and she had to admit that she did.

She knew how prestigious being ranked second on the list of most deadly targets was.

That's the kind of gold that can drive global criminal organizations to commit mass killings.

He cannot easily go abroad!

Her relaxed yet flirtatious words were actually her habit; when her mind was in turmoil, she would speak with extra ease to calm her inner confusion and fear.

We've entered the deep water zone.

Every step was thrilling.

As the Hidden Dragon Heavenly King, she had nothing to say; it was her mission, and she feared nothing. As for him…

This is not his mission!
She wanted to protect him; she wanted to see his dashing smile again at the next crossroads in her life, and hear that melodious "Senior Sister" again...

Lin Xiaosu quietly returned to being the detective agency's mascot.

I get up late during the day and go to bed early at night.

Zhou Xi had a date with Li Fang every day, and the two women had nothing to do in bed, so they could only push their wild words deeper and deeper.

Until Li Fang started to digress during a passionate conversation, she said to Zhou Xi: "Xi'er, you said Miao Ruolan is very good to you, how can you bear to let her bear the full physical strength of a man practicing martial arts every day? Have you really thought about helping her share the burden?"
In short, Zhou Xi glared at her for two minutes!
Li Fang realized she hadn't said the right thing and quickly explained, "How about I help her out? Maybe she'll be so happy that she'll hire me into your amazing company too?"

"My God, this applies here... I'm speechless!" Zhou Xi pulled back the covers and crawled into bed, not even showing her head.

As it turns out, wherever there's a hole, there will be wind.

Lin Xiaosu is in the outside world, where turmoil is brewing.

Even though he was in Fengcheng, the wind still blew. This wind might come from beside his pillow, or from inside the blankets, or perhaps from a woman's restless heart...

This seemingly peaceful period came to an end in May.

The detective agency received another payment.

The amount is not large compared to before, only 100 million!
But Lin Xiaosu's reaction was a bit strong; he went up to the rooftop and gazed at the sky...

One million—others might not know what that means, but he certainly did.

Qianlong has confirmed that the name on the list he provided to Qianlong, Lewis, is Wang Zhongze.

Wang Zhongze is none other than Qibu, the former leader of the Hydra's Great Xia District.

Now that the decision has been made, the next step is naturally to take action.

How will the Hidden Dragon Society act?

To be honest, it's not easy.

Overseas, killing is very easy.

However, bringing someone back alive from overseas is a thousand times harder than killing someone.

In particular, this person is someone that Hydra absolutely cannot allow to fall into the hands of the Hidden Dragon.

It is always easier to kill than to protect.

Protecting someone requires attention to every detail; killing someone only requires breaking through one point.

However, Lin Xiaosu had no intention of getting involved in this matter, nor did he need to. After all, Qianlong had plenty of people and methods, and he was not a member of Qianlong at all.

It was already a miracle that he could give Qianlong accurate coordinates in the sea of ​​people.

However, after receiving a message, Lan Yao was completely stunned...

The next moment, the flying car broke through the air, flew across the vast sea, and arrived at an island. As soon as she stood up, she didn't care about causing a sensation and appeared in the courtyard of Changye.

They went straight into the inner room.

Changye was packing her things. Inside her dragon armor were all sorts of strange objects: poisons, toxic water, and even poisonous insects...

Turning back at the long-night table, he frowned slightly: "Blue Sky King, what brings you here?"

Lan Yao stepped forward: "You're going to the Middle East?"

"Yes, the orders have been given. I'll leave tonight."

"No!" Blue Demon said, "I'll have them change the orders immediately! You're not suitable for this mission."

"It's alright. My combat strength is not much worse than yours. With the help of my poisons, my true combat strength is not necessarily inferior to that of the Heavenly King. In complex battle situations, I am the one who can play the most important role." Changye smiled.

“Under normal circumstances, you do have an advantage, but is that normal?” Blue Demon’s face darkened. “If the news leaks out and Hydra knows that Seven Steps is about to fall into the hands of Hidden Dragon, they will kill him at all costs! And kill you while they’re at it!”

“We can only gamble on Seven Steps’ identity, which Hydra headquarters currently does not have. Otherwise, even if the Heavenly King intervenes, it would be impossible to bring him back!” Changye said, “In fact, it is most appropriate for me to go. Your Heavenly King is a big target, and if he appears in the Middle East, it will arouse suspicion and actually alert the enemy, leading them to suspect Seven Steps.”

“There are always exceptions, and the worst thing you can do is gamble on the enemy being unaware!” Lan Yao said, “No matter what, you can’t go on this mission. I’m contacting ‘the old man’ right now!”

She was about to start using the longan.

Changye reached out and grabbed her abruptly: "Sister Lan!"

Upon hearing those two words, Lan Yao stopped in her tracks, for this was the first time Chang Ye had ever called her "Sister Lan." (End of Chapter)
