Su i’s decision made Ling Chen breathe a sigh of relief; he was really worried that she wouldn’t accept. Otherwise, he’d have to resort to so tactics.
"Miss Su, since you are willing to cooperate with , we should hurry up and find that record as soon as possible. Only with that record in hand can I proceed with the next step of my plan."
Su i thought for a mont and said, "I have never been in contact with the Skyhawk Pavilion. If that record truly exists, it must be in the hands of my grandfather. He usually doesn’t carry valuable items with him; he has a designated residence in the Heavenly chanism Pavilion. Additionally, many secret docunts are stored at the top of this tower, all from many years ago. Only my grandfather has the key to enter."
"What about Qin Chuan?" Ling Chen asked, "Where does he live? That record might be in his possession."
"Elder Qin lives downstairs from . He hasn’t been in the Heavenly chanism Pavilion lately. He used to be responsible for my safety, but now I’m under house arrest, and my grandfather has sent him away."
Ling Chen’s eyes lit up; this was indeed a good opportunity. "Miss Su, wait for here. I’ll go check Qin Chuan’s room first." With that, Ling Chen went straight to the window and climbed down using the rope. Opening the window, he smoothly entered Qin Chuan’s room without much effort.
The room was not large, with only a living room and a separate bedroom, and the furnishings were simple. Ling Chen searched carefully but found nothing, not even a piece of paper, let alone the record concerning the Skyhawk Pavilion. It seed the record wasn’t in Qin Chuan’s possession.
Imdiately, Ling Chen returned to Su i’s room the sa way, explained the situation to her, then targeted the tower’s top once more. Since only Su He could enter that place, it surely hid many secrets.
"I’ll go with you." Su i got dressed and spoke up.
"You?" Ling Chen was startled, not expecting Su i to make such a request. Su i nodded, "What is inside may involve so secrets of the Heavenly chanism Pavilion. I must follow along to prevent you from knowing things you shouldn’t."
"Alright, if you want to co, let’s go together."
Through the window, since Su i couldn’t perform martial arts, Ling Chen had to carry her on his back, using his hands to grasp the rope and slowly climb upwards. Before long, they reached the top window of the tower. However, this window was extrely narrow, with both length and width less than thirty centiters, making it impossible for adults to squeeze through, unless they were a two- or three-year-old child.
What should we do! Ling Chen was sowhat troubled, asking, "Miss Su, can we go in through the main door?"
"No." Su i shook her head, "The main door is guarded. Moreover, that door is very sturdy and can only be opened with a key." As she spoke, Su i glanced at the window, "Should we go down first?"
Ling Chen secured the rope to his body and took out his phone to check the ti, "Miss Su, we can’t afford much delay now." Before entering the Heavenly chanism Pavilion, he had agreed with Song Ge that they must leave within four hours. Otherwise, once Song Ge changed shifts, no one would cover for him.
Thinking it over, Ling Chen took a pre-prepared plastic explosive from his backpack and installed it at the window. Seeing his action, Su i couldn’t help but exclaim, "What are you doing?"
Ling Chen shrugged helplessly, "Since we can’t enter, we’ll have to blast open the outer wall."
"Are you crazy? Doing this will attract the attention of people from both the Heavenly chanism Pavilion and Yangxin Pavilion. How do you plan to escape then?"
Ling Chen smiled slightly, full of confidence, "Don’t worry, I have arrangents in place. Nothing will happen." Saying that, Ling Chen quickly installed the explosive, and the two returned to the room downstairs.
As Ling Chen pressed the remote control with his finger, a loud ’bang’ echoed from the tower top, with countless shards flying from the top.
Simultaneously, a series of explosions sounded outside the Heavenly chanism Pavilion, with flas shooting skyward, clearly visible. Standing at the window, Su i watched the flas in surprise and asked, "What’s happening over there?"
"Nothing, just so distraction tactics," Ling Chen said. Before entering the Heavenly chanism Pavilion, he anticipated this situation and pre-arranged with Qiu Yong and others. Once he used the explosive, Qiu Yong must create an even bigger commotion to divert the Heavenly chanism Pavilion’s attention and buy enough ti for him.
Watching the Heavenly chanism Pavilion mbers running toward the periter, Ling Chen couldn’t help but smile; Qiu Yong and his team’s effects were quite good.
"Miss Su, there’s no ti to lose. We must go." With those words, Ling Chen carried Su i on his back and climbed to the tower top using the rope.
The earlier explosive had already opened a large hole at the top window, and quickly Ling Chen and Su i entered the tower top. Looking at the scattered stones around, Ling Chen breathed a slight sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had used a minimal amount of explosives, so nothing inside was damaged.
The tower top was seventy square ters in area, with a desk placed in the middle piled with many docunts. Surrounding the desk, the floor was filled with docunt boxes, all containing files. Ling Chen casually picked up a docunt, preparing to glance at it, but Su i stopped him.
"Don’t forget what you promised ."
Ling Chen smiled awkwardly and had to return the docunt to its place. He knew these files were related to the Heavenly chanism Pavilion’s secrets, and Su i didn’t want him to know too much.
Ti was limited, and Ling Chen didn’t dare delay, imdiately searching for the record’s whereabouts.
At this mont, outside the Heavenly chanism Pavilion, hundreds of its mbers gathered together, prepared for action. Su He stood among them, watching the flas outside with indifferent eyes.
"What’s happening?" Footsteps approached, and Su He turned to see Du Kang coming over with a wine gourd.
"Soone wants to attack the Heavenly chanism Pavilion."
"Who?"
"Who else do you think it could be?" Su He sneered, "I thought they wouldn’t act so fast. It seems I miscalculated; perhaps the incident in Jin Hai City gave them urgency. Anyway, it’s better to resolve things early."
At this, a trace of doubt appeared in Su He’s eyes, "I thought I heard the first explosion inside earlier; did you notice it?"
Du Kang shook his head.
"Maybe I misheard." With that, Su He turned his attention back to the blazing fire, frowning, "It’s been a while; why is there still no movent."
"Maybe they are testing us."
Just then, a middle-aged man hurriedly ran over, exclaiming, "Old Pavilion Master, there’s been an explosion at the tower top; should you go check it out?"
"What?" Su He’s expression changed. Without another word, he imdiately headed toward the tower.
