Chapter 626: Cracking the Code

Bacon refers to a bad person disguised as a good person.

Because bacon is a cured food, although delicious, it is harmful to the body if eaten too much, so it is a bad person.

Noodles are mother and younger sister; both mother and daughter like noodles, this is a collective term.

Bacon baked noodles means Mommy and younger sister are in danger, and a bad person wants to harm them.

Lemon is himself, and tea is safety.

Potato means they have left the Castle now, and mud means he doesn't know exactly where they are.

Chicken indicates being in the wild, and soup means there is a river nearby.

Cream and plums refer to there being many animals and plants here, all mixed up together, which means there is no one around.

Cake means he has been kept under guard, very strictly.

Zhu Xingye translated his son's words and immediately sent them to his wife: "Alisha, look at how smart and sensible our son is. When he is in danger himself, the first thing he thinks of is Mommy and younger sister, not himself."

His wife was already crying her eyes out: "Darling, you must save our son. I have failed him. If anything happens to him, I will never forgive myself for the rest of my life..."

For a mother, letting her give up one child to protect another is the cruelest thing, bar none.

But the situation at the time was that she thought she and her daughter were the ones in the most danger, so she agreed to let Zhu Yiwen take her son away.

If she had known sooner that she and her daughter would be rescued shortly after they left, even if she had exhausted every means at the time, she would have kept her son!

"Darling, go and beg that brave and righteous friend of yours to save our son. You must find him and save him..."

"Okay, I promise you, darling, I promise you."

L Country.

Presidential Palace.

The whole building was very busy; people were performing their own duties, and there were a thousand and one things to be done.

In a large office.

Sheng Hanyu, Wang Yong, and Qi Xiansheng were looking for a geographical environment that met the conditions on the map.

The wild.

There are animals and plants, and a river!

According to the information obtained, the private plane Zhu Yiwen took when he fled flew in a southeast direction and disappeared after one hour.

But there is no river in that place at all.

There is plenty of water, the sea, the Marsh, just no river.

Wang Yong threw the Hallucinogenic Pen in his hand onto the table dejectedly: "I'm not looking anymore. If I keep looking, my eyeballs will fall out. I can't find it, I can't do it." He slumped into his chair, and the next second he was snoring.

The three of them hadn't closed their eyes for two days.

Sheng Hanyu and Qi Xiansheng's eyes were also bloodshot.

There were many things Qi Xiansheng needed to be busy with, not just this one.

But he took the initiative to push everything aside to fully cooperate in finding Zhu Yiwen; besides repaying a favor to Sheng Hanyu, Zhu Yiwen was also very important to him!

Sheng Hanyu took off his coat and draped it over Wang Yong.

Qi Xiansheng said softly: "Hanyu, you should go and rest for a while too. I'll call a few staff officers to come and help."

Sheng Hanyu shook his head and refused: "No, I promised Zhu Xingye that I would bring his son back to his side safe and sound, so I must do it."

Now that power has just been seized, the situation in the country is still very unstable, and quite a few people are in a wait-and-see state.

So this matter must be kept secret and the news must not be leaked.

No one can guarantee that the staff officers in this building are all reliable. If one of Zhu Yiwen's people tips him off, with his intelligence, he would soon be able to guess how the news was leaked.

Zhu Yiwen is ruthless and would never show mercy to a child just because he leaked the news!

"Alright, I'll go call someone to get some late-night snacks and brew a pot of strong coffee."

Soon, coffee and sandwiches were delivered.

When the servant was pouring the coffee, Wang Yong woke up: "Achoo!" The sound was as loud as thunder.

"Ah—"

The servant was startled and accidentally knocked over the coffee pot.

The coffee flowed onto the map, and although Sheng Hanyu was quick-eyed and fast-handed in picking it up, a small patch was still soaked.

"I deserve to die, Vice President, please spare me!" The servant knelt on the ground, kowtowing and begging for mercy, his whole body trembling like a sieve.

The previous government was very brutal, and servants working in the Presidential Palace were like walking on the edge of a knife; one moment of carelessness could cost them their lives.

"It's okay, get up quickly and pour another cup of coffee." Qi Xiansheng was amiable and did not make things difficult for the servant.

He had been appointed as Vice President, not in name only, but with real power.

"Thank you, thank you!" The servant hurriedly climbed up from the ground, poured another cup of coffee with trembling hands, placed it on the table with both hands, and then bowed and backed out.

Wang Yong gave Qi Xiansheng a thumbs up: "Vice President, with your leadership in our L Country, prosperity is just around the corner."

He even used an idiom.

After Sheng Hanyu became his idol, he had been learning from his big brother at every moment.

He also learned idioms from Sheng Hanyu, though he often used them in the wrong places, but this time he used it correctly; it was very appropriate.

Vice President Qi immediately said: "So, are you willing to come to my side and help me?"

"I am in urgent need of talent like you—righteous, capable, and hating evil as if it were an enemy."

Wang Yong:......

He hurriedly waved his hands and refused: "No, no, no, please don't joke with me. I'm just a rough man, not fit for important tasks, not fit for important tasks."

Actually, he just didn't want to be restrained.

He has everything he needs now and never participates in government affairs, but no matter who comes to power, they have to give Wang Yong some face. How nice is that? It's wonderful.

He is not stupid; only someone with nothing better to do would work for them.

Qi Xiansheng wanted to continue persuading him, but Wang Yong had already changed the subject: "Big Brother, Big Brother, what are you doing?"

Sheng Hanyu stared fixedly at the map stained by coffee, lost in thought.

"Hanyu, Hanyu."

Qi Xiansheng nudged him, and only then did he snap back to his senses.

"Come, take a look at this."

Sheng Hanyu moved the map to a different spot and placed it back on the table.

He pointed to the surroundings of L Country and said: "We have always overlooked the most important place: the river."

Wang Yong interjected: "No, Brother, every place we searched had a river; we never overlooked them."

Sheng Hanyu corrected him: "Right, it is precisely because we have always focused on the surrounding rivers that we have actually overlooked the river itself."

The way he said it sounded like a tongue twister, leaving Wang Yong confused.

Sheng Hanyu explained to the two of them: "Think about it, Zhu Xingye's son is not even six years old. A child of five-plus years does not have the rigorous cognition of an adult. In their world, it is not just large rivers that are called rivers; perhaps any place with water can be called a river."

Once the line of thought became clear, the search area expanded, and they quickly locked onto a location—a Swamp five hundred miles away from L Country.

That place spans over a hundred miles and is entirely flat land.

The environment inside matches everything the boy described: there are animals, plants, and rivers, but there are no people!

Furthermore, there are no roads.

If one wanted to enter that place to find someone, it would be too easy to be discovered.

Although they had a target, it was as if they had fallen into another dilemma!

Wang Yong volunteered: "Vice President, Brother, I will lead men to pose as poachers to go in and save him." There are precious elks in that Swamp; catching just one and selling it would be enough for a whole family to live on for several years.
