After more than half an hour, three business cars with dark window tint stopped by the roadside of Xinhe Village.

Qi Yun stepped towards one of the cars.

After getting in, he pointed to the nearby "Five Lakes and Four Seas" hotel and said, "Those two people are staying in room 108 of this hotel. I feel they are quite dangerous, possibly armed, so you need to be cautious."

Ge Dabao nodded and turned to glance in the direction of the hotel, his gaze sharp.

"Don't worry, we have brought riot gear."

With that, he picked up the walkie-talkie in his hand and issued orders: "Group one, come in with me from the front; group two, seal off the front door; group three, go to the back alley. The targets might be armed, stay alert."

"Copy that."

The people in the three cars got the command and began to take action.

Qi Yun also got out of the car and returned to his own vehicle, but his gaze remained fixed on the direction of the hotel entrance, feeling a bit worried for Ge Dabao.

After all, they are professional killers...

However, events proved that his worries were unnecessary.

In less than three minutes, Ge Dabao and his group came out of the hotel, escorting the two professional killers.

No matter how formidable a thug is, in front of the state machinery, they can only meekly submit to the law.

After those two were put into the car, Ge Dabao came over to Qi Yun's car, took off his riot helmet, and said, "I'll take them back for interrogation first. I'll inform you once there's news."

Qi Yun nodded, not mentioning the fugitive matter. He believed that with the department's methods, they would definitely make those two talk.

...

In the evening, Qi Yun was having dinner with his daughter and Zhao Qing when the phone in his pocket suddenly rang. He took out his phone to see it was Ignacio calling.

He immediately guessed it should be progress related to the coordinates he gave Ignacio a few days ago.

Upon answering the call, Ignacio's excited voice came through the earpiece: "Qi Yun, I've deciphered that set of numbers! Combined with the previous half, now it's confirmed to be a set of coordinates!"

Qi Yun perked up, put down his chopsticks, and asked, "Where is the location?"

"The coordinates point to the Atlantic Ocean, approximately three hundred nautical miles from South Africa's Cape of Good Hope!"

"South Africa?" Qi Yun paused upon hearing this, as he had just heard Ye Hanwen mentioning South Africa yesterday.

Ignacio responded somewhat excitedly: "That's right, South Africa!"

Qi Yun pondered for a moment before tentatively asking, "Mr. Ignacio, what do you think this set of coordinates means?"

Ignacio paused after hearing this: "Recently, I've gone through a lot of materials about Jose Echegaray. He was not only the most famous writer of the 19th century but also a sailing enthusiast. So, I suspect this coordinate location might be related to a historical event."

"Moreover, the coordinates are in the depths of the Atlantic Ocean, which likely indicates the sinking site of a ship."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yun sighed inwardly; it seems it can't be hidden.

But Ignacio's candidness in expressing his conjecture also indirectly showed he didn't have other intentions. Otherwise, he could have chosen not to reveal this.

"Alright, I understand, thank you, Mr. Ignacio."

"You're welcome; the process of deciphering the coordinates completely engrossed me. I thoroughly enjoy this feeling," Ignacio replied indifferently.

"By the way, Qi Yun, if you're planning to go to that coordinate point, be very careful. I checked some information, and the ocean currents in that location are quite complex."

Qi Yun nodded: "Thank you for the reminder; I will be cautious."

After hanging up the phone, he placed the phone on the table and let out a long breath.

The issue that has been on his mind for a long time finally has a lead.

Zhao Qing had been observing his expression and asked as soon as he finished the call, "What happened?"

Qi Yun smiled at her: "Nothing, just that I might have to go abroad for a bit."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qing's face immediately showed a look of reluctance: "Ah, going out again."

The little girl next to him also chimed in: "Daddy, are you going out again? I want you to play with me."

Qi Yun rubbed his daughter's little head, thinking that tomorrow is the weekend, and there are still arrangements to be made before departure, so he smiled and said: "Alright, Daddy won't go anywhere for the next couple of days, just stay home with you and sister Xiao Qing."

"Really? I want to go camping tomorrow," the little girl grasped his pinky and asked in a soft voice.

"Of course it's true." Qi Yun lifted her onto his lap, his chin resting on her hair, "You want to go camping, right? No problem, Daddy will take you tomorrow."

"Yay!" The little girl tilted her head happily and kissed Qi Yun on the cheek.

After dinner, Qi Yun went into the kitchen, poured the freshly brewed medicine into three bowls, drank one himself first, and then called Zhao Qing and Nuannuan over to drink some.

The little girl only tasted a little, then firmly refused to drink more. Helpless, Qi Yun could only drink another bowl himself.

When it was Zhao Qing's turn, she also shook her head repeatedly: "I won't drink this."

Qi Yun helplessly explained to her: "This prescription is from the royal family's exclusive use in the past, and the ingredients are all precious herbs. Haven't you noticed the changes in my body lately? It's all thanks to this medicine."

But no matter how much he spoke, Zhao Qing just wouldn't drink. Finally, she even clung to his neck and began acting spoiled.

In the end, helplessly, Qi Yun could only drink another bowl.

With three bowls of herbal medicine in his stomach, he felt as if there was a raging fire burning inside him, his entire body's energy and blood were boiling.

It's fortunate that he's been drinking it for quite a few days now; otherwise, he'd seriously hesitate to do this.

But the ultimate result still fell on Zhao Qing, who was continuously tormented until late into the night before finally getting some relief.
