Chapter 971

They walked into Su Ting's home and found it in a mess, 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 became alert immediately and walked up the stairs cautiously.

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 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 house; they tied me up and kept questioning me about some strange things."

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

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 Nightingale's whereabouts."

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

Ding Xiaoyu, Chu Tian, and 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 has anyone tried to approach you and ask you some questions?"

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

"He claimed to be a painter."

"He asked me about Nightingale, saying he had discovered Nightingale's name 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 more questions in the future."

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

Ding Xiaoyu also asked confusedly: "Then what should we do now? We don't know who Nightingale is, nor do we know why the evil organization would come 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 threat of the evil force."

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