- In South Hill Manor -
After the guests left, the house immediately felt empty.
"Sir, you’re not fully recovered yet. Go up and rest. I can handle this." Uncle Li walked over.
"I’m fine, Uncle Li. I’m back on my feet already, so please don’t treat me like a patient."
"No. You just had surgery. Go up and rest, please."
Qin Chu nodded and went upstairs to his study.
Sitting down, he conjured up a string of digits from his memory.
He took out his cellphone and dialed the long number...
Ten seconds later, a girl’s image appeared in midair.
"Hello, this is Lu Yan."
"Where are you now?"
"What? Even you are interested in my whereabouts?" Lu Yan smirked.
"No, I’m not. I just what to see how far you are from the place I want to go."
"I’m in the sky in my private plane." Lounging on the leather sofa in the inner cabin, Lu Yan stuck her tongue at him playfully.
"Where are you flying to?"
"Brazil. I’m going there to collect debts."
"Collect debts?" Qin Chu frowned slightly.
"She’s going there to collect some lives," Qiao Fei cut in.
"Get out. Don’t interrupt me." Lu Yan glared at Qiao Fei.
"What on earth is happening?"
"Um... I found the whereabouts of an old enemy. Someone saw him in Brazil, so I’m going there to kill him," Lu Yan said airily as if killing a man was as easy as killing a chicken.
"Don’t go there. I have a more important thing for you to do."
"Go ahead." Hearing Qin Chu’s tone, Lu Yan knew it must be a big issue.
The big issue in Qin Chu’s eyes was definitely related to her sister.
"I found some clues which might lead to your sister’s location."
"Really?" Lu Yan stood up, not able to suppress her elation.
"Ah-Cheng said Sydney. It means they are somewhere around Australia. Check all the big and small private islands around that area. Find which island belongs to a Chinese man. No, Huo Siqian is sly and must have used another name, not even a Chinese name. He probably uses a foreign name. Anyway, you check all the islands near Australia."
"Australia. It’s indeed not far from here. Where did you get the information? Is it reliable?" Lu Yan sounded doubtful.
"Don’t ask me where I got it. But I’m sure it’s correct. They are somewhere near Australia."
Qin Chu was sure that the last piece of information that Ah-Cheng told him was absolutely true, not some nonsense he thought of randomly. It was just human nature.
"Okay. I’ll go and check them. But I don’t think it will be easy," said Lu Yan.
"You’re right. He might have installed some devices to block electronic signals around the island. So, you must find the locations of the islands in the ancient files. Pay special attention to the islands that have frequent visitors. I think you might find some records about it. There are many surveillance cameras in Australia, and I’m sure one of them has captured some of his movements. I don’t believe Huo Siqian is so careful that he doesn’t leave any trace behind..." Qin Chu was sure Huo Siqian had left some clues behind.
"Got it. If the information is correct and my sister is truly in Australia, I think I will find her in less than three days." Lu Yan sounded smug.
"Three days is too long."
Lu Yan: "..."
"I’ll fly there tonight; we’ll meet in Sydney," Qin Chu said.
