Chapter: 5053

Seeing the chaos before him, with a strange corpse lying there, he was suddenly shocked and dismayed. Then, looking at the girl who had also fainted on the desk, he rushed up anxiously and shouted: "Miss!"

The old man exclaimed in a flustered tone, "Miss, I... I think my brain's gone haywire! I remember you instructed me to arrange for someone to tidy up and leave North Europe quickly, but I don't know how I just fainted, and besides... I feel like some parts of my memory are missing..."

Lin Wan'er nodded slightly and said with a hint of indifference, "You're feeling like there's a gap in your memory because someone erased it."

The old man's eyes widened in astonishment as he exclaimed, "Is there really someone who can erase other people's memories?"

Lin Wan'er nodded again, sighed, and said, "Yes, they wanted to erase my memories too."

As she spoke, Lin Wan'er suddenly smiled mischievously and whispered, "But alas, they failed!"

The old man quickly followed up with another question, asking, "Miss, does that person know he failed?"

Lin Wan'er shook her head, saying, "Of course not. Otherwise, how could he just let us go so easily?"

She continued, "He also has some very powerful hypnosis and mind control, thank goodness I managed to divert his attention away from you, or we would have been exposed."

The old man listened with a worried expression and couldn't help but sigh, saying, "It seems that even the most advanced methods won't be of much use in your presence, Miss."

Lin Wan'er let out a melancholic sigh and lamented, "My father left me with limited skills, and this is one of them. If he could have taught me some self-defense techniques, I wouldn't be so helpless now."

She then waved her hand dismissively and told the old man, "Alright, go gather up everything except for what's absolutely necessary."

"Yes, Miss," the old man replied respectfully and departed from the study.

After the old man left, Lin Wan'er took out a small wooden plaque from the desk drawer. The plaque had eight large characters inscribed: "The spirit seat of my father, Lin Zhouchuo."

Lin Wan'er carefully examined this plaque, whispering, "Father, I'm not filial enough. You left me with only this ring as a legacy, and I gave it away to someone else. It's not that I don't want to protect it, but I just can't; my abilities are limited. Today, if it weren't for Ye Cheng's sudden appearance, I would have probably fallen into the hands of those villains. That Ye Cheng doesn't seem like a bad person, and he has immense spiritual powers. The ring should be able to unleash its true potential in his hands."

She then added, "Oh, Father, Ye Cheng and we share the same enemy, and it seems that he is currently operating in secret. Perhaps he can help us eliminate our common enemies and fulfill your wish for you!"

Following this thought, Lin Wan'er fell silent.

She couldn't help but think back to how the ring had suddenly emitted a sword-like sound when Ye Cheng held it, a clear and majestic tone that was hard to forget.

As she pondered this, she made up her mind and subsequently put away the plaque as well as the nine copper coins on the desk, then walked out of the study.

Outside the villa, that old man was busy tidying up.

He gradually pulled out some unnecessary items from one of the cars and eventually organized two large trunks.

Seeing Lin Wan'er come out, the old man hurriedly approached and asked, "Miss, you don't need to bring those blue-and-white ceramics, do you?"

Lin Wan'er hesitated for a moment, then sighed softly: "I'll still bring them along, after all they are Chinese artifacts. If I leave them here, who knows if some ignorant people might damage or destroy them."

As she spoke, she added: "Take the already packed blue-and-white ceramics with you and return to China afterwards. You can find an opportunity to donate them to a museum then."

"What about China?" The old man's face was filled with surprise as he asked: "Miss, aren't you going to Eastern Russia? We have stable and secure industries there, and it would be much harder for people to find you in China than in Eastern Russia." JrNovels.com
