Chapter 2428: Chapter 2331: Su Lan

Not many people know her phone number, and even fewer know that she has a Heavenly Bead. What’s more, the incident of her Heavenly Bead bracelet shattering happened less than an hour ago. Everyone was in the ancient tomb when it happened; within such a short time, there surely wouldn’t be many people who knew about it.

Even Gu Xu was still unaware of the incident on her side, yet someone had already received the information and sent her a message. That person could only be Yan Feng, who carved the runes on her Heavenly Bead.

This was the first time Yan Feng proactively sent her a message since her grand wedding, and it was also the first time Huo Sining made contact with him, making her feel excited.

For the past two years, she had been trying every possible way to contact Yan Feng and Su Lan, but never once did she catch them in a service area. She didn’t know what they were up to or if they were safe. Now, having received Yan Feng’s message, she finally felt a bit relieved — at least the two should be safe.

However, when she eagerly arrived at the foot of the mountain, although the call went through, it was not picked up for a long time. Unwilling to give up, Huo Sining dialed several more times, but the phone only emitted endless beeping sounds.

Just as she was about to give up, unexpectedly, a familiar yet strange voice suddenly came through:

"Wei Yang?"

The words she originally intended to say were stuck in her throat the moment she heard the name Wei Yang. She felt a sudden sting in her nose, with emotions that clearly didn’t belong to her welling up uncontrollably from her heart. In an instant, she already opened her mouth and called out:

"Brother—"

On the other end, Su Lan’s voice sounded a bit tired yet reasonably clear. Probably detecting the choke in Huo Sining’s voice, Su Lan actually chuckled:

"Why are you crying for no reason? Yan Feng said your Heavenly Bead bracelet cracked, what’s the matter, did something go wrong?"

Huo Sining briefly recounted the incidents in the ancient tomb. After a moment of silence on the other end, Su Lan finally spoke:

"Alright, I got it. Don’t get involved in this matter anymore. I had some grudges with that Dongyang devil. Now that the guy is dead, he got off easy!"

Huo Sining was startled when she heard this: "What? How did you get involved with Fujiwara Seiho?"

Su Lan sneered and said, "Remember when we met you in Las Vegas? That time we found out that damned Dongyang devil was looking into the Jiaoren, and he spent lots of connections doing so. An unmutated Jiao Clan member was captured by them and taken to a lab, intending to conduct live experiments."

Upon hearing this, Huo Sining’s heart skipped a beat: "Captured? What happened?"

"We’ll tell you the details when we get back. Anyway, in the end, we went through a lot to find that lab. The guy was cautious enough to hide the lab deep in the desert of Las Vegas. It was full of hidden dangers that ordinary people couldn’t possibly guess. If we weren’t patient enough, we might have been deceived too."

"Yan Feng and I stealthily snuck into that lab and rescued the Jiao Clan member. We also blew up the lab and destroyed all their research data. Fujiwara Seiho must have suffered a heavy loss!"

After hearing Su Lan finish, a thought flashed through Huo Sining’s mind, she vaguely guessed something and instinctively asked: "You blew up their lab? When did this happen?"

You know, back in the Philadelphia auction, she fought with Fujiwara Seiho over that Classic of Mountains and Seas. She directly went to Semiya through the back door, leveraging her bet winnings to demand the wooden box containing the Classic of Mountains and Seas from Semiya.

In the end, when Fujiwara Seiho discovered that the item he bid on wasn’t given to him, he nearly turned hostile, but upon receiving a phone call, he hastily left the auction venue.

At that time, Huo Sining was curious, wondering what kind of call Fujiwara Seiho received that made him look so dreadful, as if something major happened.

Now hearing her brother mention blowing up Fujiwara Seiho’s lab, Huo Sining vaguely connected the dots. Surely, that phone call was related to the explosion in the lab.

Indeed, the time Su Lan mentioned about them blowing up the lab coincided with when Huo Sining was attending the Beast Head auction in Philadelphia, causing Huo Sining to feel rather gleeful, to the point of letting out a laugh.

This was truly a coincidence, as she was giving Fujiwara Seiho trouble during the auction, while her good brother directly wiped out the guy’s base. No wonder Fujiwara Seiho couldn’t even sit still at that time, leaving in such a haste that he couldn’t bother with the entanglements with the Rothschild siblings.

Thanks to that explosion, otherwise, the Classic of Mountains and Seas she took might not have ended up securely in her possession.

"Were you injured? Is Master Yan okay? Since you’ve destroyed their lab, why haven’t you returned? Didn’t you say before that after dealing with things, you would come to the Magic Capital to meet us?"

There was a pause over there before Su Lan sighed and said:

"Something came up, even though we saved the Jiao Clan member, things aren’t looking good. Yan Feng and I are still trying to figure things out; rest assured, we’ll find you as soon as we can."

"But there are people behind Fujiwara Seiho. Don’t get involved in this mess, lest they turn their attention on you. Given our special identities, it’s best not to expose ourselves; going head-to-head with those lunatics would only harm us."

"What? There’s someone behind Fujiwara Seiho? How could that be?"

Huo Sining was taken aback, having assumed that once Fujiwara Seiho was taken down, the world would be at peace. Yet, unexpectedly, there’s someone behind him, going beyond her expectations, causing unease and a hint of anxiety.

Su Lan explained: "Fujiwara Seiho is merely the junior leader of the Iga-ryu. Behind him is the head leader, which is his father. However, I haven’t been able to track this person down, so I urge you to be cautious as this person has a complicated identity, hidden so deeply, indicating he’s a formidable character!"

Huo Sining furrowed her brows and sighed:

"Understood, rest assured, I handled things with secrecy on the ancient tomb side, so exposure is unlikely. Next, I will withdraw from the ancient tomb project; anyway, there’s no room or need for me to maneuver further. As long as my master agrees, I’ll pack my bags and leave."

Su Lan didn’t plan on chitchatting much with Huo Sining, clearly being busy on his side as well. Hence, both ended the call hurriedly without much conversation.

Up until the call ended, Huo Sining felt like she had forgotten something, but she couldn’t quite recall it right away, and therefore, let it go.
