Chapter: 5074

The man said: "I'm not sure. I just feel that both events are too strange. We have clear information about both An family and Lin Wan'er, but their outcomes were exactly opposite of what we expected. Our people got wiped out in the end."

The lord replied indifferently again: "The An family is a top-notch family in the open world, to some extent. They're public figures. But Lin Wan'er is a small fox hiding everywhere. Her subordinates don't have any chance to make contact with the outside world during normal times. This time she was able to reveal her identity by buying a piece of blue-and-white porcelain at an antique shop in Norway."

The man nodded, praising: "Only you, Lord, are capable of doing such things. It's as if using some blue-and-white porcelain to lure Lin Wan'er out!"

As he spoke, he quickly asked again: "Should we prepare another batch of top-notch blue-and-white porcelain and hide them in antique shops all over the world, waiting for Lin Wan'er to take the bait?"

"It's unnecessary." The English lord said coldly: "Lin Wan'er is just the most cunning fox, it's absolutely impossible for her to fall into the same trap twice, no matter how good the blue-and-white porcelain is, she won't be lured out."

At this time, the man asked respectfully: "English lord, do you think there's any credibility to the words left by Lin Wan'er?"

The English lord remained silent for a moment and said coldly: "Her character is similar to her father's, although she's wise and cunning even more so than most people, but she hardly ever schemes or plots something, so I believe what she wrote."

As he spoke, the English lord added: "Moreover, Lin Wan'er must be very clear about this in her mind. There's no point in lying at this time, even if I see those eight characters and believe her didn't lie, but until we find that ring, I won't give up pursuing her, after all, even if the ring isn't on her person, she would definitely know where it is, so she wrote those eight characters not to confuse me, only to infuriate me!"

The man couldn't help saying: "English lord! If Lin Wan'er didn't lie, doesn't that mean she's already left the ring in some place in Norway?"

The English lord said: "That ring holds little significance for her, but it's of great importance. She would never casually abandon it."

The man asked again: "Will it be stored in a bank safe? If it's kept with other things in a bank safe, it usually won't attract any attention. Bank safes have extremely high confidentiality, and those who are genuine use biometric identification such as fingerprints or iris scans. She can easily store the ring under an alias first, then retrieve it whenever needed."

"It's impossible." The English lord said indifferently: "Lin Wan'er is far more cunning than you think, and even more calculating. Whatever you can think of, she would have thought of it before. A bank safe may seem secure and unobtrusive, but in reality, it provides no security at all. If I want to, my Imperial Guard could open every bank safe in Norway overnight, so how could she risk this?"

The man looked puzzled and said: "English lord, if what you say is true, then the ring is indeed not in Lin Wan'er's possession, but she wouldn't just abandon it arbitrarily. There must be a very secure way to keep it, so where do you think the ring has gone? Or how did she manage to remotely store it?"

The English lord remained silent for a few seconds and spoke indifferently: "As for what you said, I don't know, but currently, the only thing I'm certain of is that the ring may not be in Lin Wan'er's hand, but she is our only lead at present. Therefore, we must spare no effort to track her down!"

He paused slightly before continuing: "This time, let Long Shengbo personally take care of it and have him come see me immediately!"

The man was shocked inwardly; the Long Shengbo mentioned by the English lord was the leader of the four great dukes.

These four great dukes had their titles bestowed upon them by the English lord, each with a different honorific title: Long Shengbo, Ding Yuanbo, Jian Gongbo, and Zhong Yongbo.

The four men had served the English lord for many years, contributing to the growth of his power and reputation.

Long Shengbo was not only the first-ranked among the four great dukes but also the strongest individual in terms of actual strength. He was essentially the second-in-command of the organization.

As for this man himself, he was the least senior of the four great dukes, Zhong Yongbo.

Within the organization, his contributions were inferior to those of the first three dukes, but due to his absolute loyalty to the English lord, he was still honored with the title of Zhong Yongbo and often served at the English lord's beck and call.

From Zhong Yongbo's perspective, sending Long Shengbo to track down Lin Wan'er felt like using a heavy sledgehammer to crack a walnut.

However, he dared not question the English lord's decision at all, so he immediately said without hesitation: "English lord, I will go and inform Long Shengbo."

A few minutes later.

An elderly man with a one-piece Daoist robe, bone-white skin, and floating steps, walked into the hall with a gentle pace. JrNovels.com
