Chapter: 2894

Chen Zekai hastily replied: "Okay, young master, I'll take care of this matter later."

Leaf turned to look at Su Ruoli and said: "Su Ruoli, give Old Chen your contact information, then go back and rest."

"Okay!"

At this moment, Northeast Desolation City.

This small city is one of the coldest places in all of China.

Even now that it's already late January, the lowest temperature here still reaches minus 17 to 18 degrees Celsius, almost as cold as a refrigerator's freezer.

During the winter, the temperature here can reach around minus 50 degrees Celsius.

One of the four great martial arts families in China, the He family, is rooted in this county-level city with a population of less than 10,000.

The ancestors of the He family were not born and raised in Northeast Desolation City.

They originated from the Jiaodong Peninsula and during the Ming and Qing dynasties, they were one of the most renowned martial arts families on the Jiaodong Peninsula, with their ancestors making a living by running a pawn shop or martial arts academy.

However, back then, the He family members mainly practiced external martial arts skills, so they were still far from reaching the level of a martial arts family.

It wasn't until the late Qing dynasty that Jiaodong Peninsula was plagued by war and the He family decided to migrate to the eastern provinces at the right moment, when they obtained a fragmentary scroll of internal martial art.

However, despite this, the He family as a whole migrated to Northeast China and still relied on this fragmented internal martial art to join the ranks of a martial arts family.

What's more, the internal martial art they obtained was incomplete, so when the He family members practiced it, they often experienced unstable inner energy, reversed meridians, and even serious injuries that could last for months or ruin their martial arts skills, and in extreme cases, even lead to fatalities among their descendants.

Therefore, the He family gradually came up with a coping strategy: to practice this internal martial art as much as possible in extremely cold weather, which helps control inner energy and reduce the probability of accidents.

It's because of this that the He family only relocated to the most frigid city in Hua Xia about 50 years ago and settled there since then.

Su Ruo Li spent her childhood and youth at this place, and her mother He Ying Xiu lived here almost full-time after her arm was amputated to rescue Su Shou Dao back then.

However, recently, He Ying Xiu has been spending most of her time outside.

Initially, she went to Japan when Su Ruo Li was arrested there, heard from Su Shou Dao that they needed to rescue Su Ruo Li, and personally traveled to Japan to see Su Ruo Li and reassure her waiting at home.

But unexpectedly, news spread about Su Ruo Li's disappearance and Su's family betraying Su Ruo Li.

Since then, He Ying Xiu has spent most of her time searching for Su Ruo Li's whereabouts in Japan.

Although she knew it was a needle in a haystack, she still spared no effort to search in Tokyo and surrounding areas for a long time, then hired a salvage ship to search the Japanese Sea, even sending teams to search along the coastlines of their country, but they never found any relevant clues.

Yesterday, she just returned from the southeastern coastal area, and this time she ran around a few key port cities without hearing any news about someone sneaking ashore.

She's very clear that the longer it takes, the smaller the possibility of Su Ruo Li being found alive becomes.

Therefore, she discussed with her father He Hong Sheng to prepare to raise some funds again, and then search along the coastlines of the Shandong Peninsula to see if they can find Su Ruo Li's whereabouts... JrNovels.com
