Chapter 448: Su Ting

The buildings here were almost all old-style residential blocks, appearing somewhat dilapidated.

Sunlight filtered through the sparse leaves, spilling into the winding alleys, and the air was filled with a damp smell.

Everything appeared so peaceful, forming a sharp contrast with the danger they were about to face.

They arrived at Su Ting's door and found it tightly shut.

Chu Tian knocked on the door gently, but there was no response.

They looked at each other, and Chen Chen Zihao hesitated for a moment before saying: "Let's go in and take a look; perhaps she is in danger."

Ding Ding Xiaoyu and Chu Tian nodded, and Chen Chen Zihao cautiously opened the door. CHAPTER 971

They walked into Su Ting's home and found it in a state of chaos, with furniture overturned and spots of blood on the floor.

They immediately realized the situation was serious and quickened their pace to find Su Ting.

Suddenly, they heard crying coming from upstairs.

They immediately became vigilant and cautiously walked up the stairs.

In a room on the second floor, they discovered Su Ting.

She was curled up in a corner, her face covered in tears, appearing extremely terrified.

Ding Ding Xiaoyu comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, we are here to help you. Can you tell us what happened?"

Su Ting said tremblingly: "Last night, a group of men in black broke into my home; they tied me up and kept interrogating me about some strange questions."

"I really don't understand why they would come after me."

Chen Chen Zihao said in a deep voice: "These people are members of an evil organization; they believe you possess some key information, which is why they came after you."

"But don't worry, we will protect you and won't let them hurt you."

A glimmer of hope appeared in Su Ting's eyes, and she continued tremblingly: "Those men in black kept asking me about a person named Nightingale. They said I should know the whereabouts of Nightingale."

"But I really don't understand; I have never heard of this name."

Ding Ding Xiaoyu, Chu Tian, and Chen Chen Zihao looked at each other, feeling very surprised.

Before this, they had never heard of a person named Nightingale, nor did they understand why the evil organization would think Su Ting knew information about Nightingale.

Chu Tian asked earnestly: "Su Ting, can you recall if anything strange has happened recently? Or if anyone has tried to approach you and ask you questions?"

Su Ting thought for a moment, and suddenly her expression changed: "One Saturday night, I met a strange man at the library..."

"He claimed to be a painter."

"He asked me about Nightingale, saying he had discovered the name Nightingale in an ancient musical score."

"I told him I didn't know, but he didn't seem to believe me. Later, he asked for my phone number, saying he might ask me some questions in the future."

Chen Chen Zihao frowned: "It seems that man is likely related to the evil organization. They might have mistakenly believed you know the whereabouts of Nightingale, so they sent people to find you."

Ding Ding Xiaoyu also asked doubtfully: "Then what should we do now? We don't know who Nightingale is, nor do we know why the evil organization came after Su Ting."

Chu Tian took a deep breath and said: "Our most important task now is to protect Su Ting and keep her safe from the threats of the evil force."

"As for the matter of Nightingale, we can follow the clues and first find the man who claimed to be a painter; perhaps we can find more leads."
