Chapter 693 - 689: No Longer Bothering the Elders
————-
Xie Jingchen took advantage of his wife’s nap to discuss with Hu Zhengjie and Yan Jinchang. They concluded that while the enemy was hidden and they were exposed, their target was clearly him and his wife. Therefore, when he took his wife out today, the Siheyuan and the car they used would definitely be at risk.
For greater security, Xie Jingchen arranged for Yan Jinhao and Yan Jinchang to personally lead a team to guard the hidden areas of the Siheyuan.
On the other side, Zhu Yilai and Ma Shan continued to track Uncle Shou and Little Ya as mentioned by Xiao Lei, following slim clues. They reached the right place, but found nothing substantial, not even Xie Jingchen, who went there personally, noticed anything amiss, and they returned without success.
The search and rescue mission was stuck, Xie Jingchen furrowed his brow: The enemy was casting a wide net.
Xie Jingchen roughly understood that the ultimate target of the enemy was still underneath Tanning Temple.
That source of poison, unless completely eradicated, the apocalyptic crisis his wife worried about would persist, an unresolved risk, how could he be at peace?!
Xie Jingchen felt helpless, even if he wanted to eliminate that ’Woodworm’, in reality, technology could not yet achieve what his wife had described. Expending massive human and material resources just to destroy something for an inexplicable reason?
If it weren’t for his firm belief in his wife’s words and having experienced many ’incredible’ things with her, he would not have believed that this small vial of Woodworm could plunge the entire planet into a ’death’ state.
The matter of the Woodworm could only continue to be deterred by Tao Nu, but the ’Forget River’ associated with his wife was a big problem, this ’Purple Star Source’ was quite effective, but in Xie Jingchen’s eyes, it was still too slow.
