Chapter 2458: Earl Changsheng
At this time, the man asked respectfully: "Lord, how credible do you think the calligraphy left by Lin Wan'er is?"
The Lord was silent for a moment and said coldly: "Her character is similar to her father's. Although she is resourceful and even close to a demon, she rarely plays any tricks, so I believe the eight characters she wrote."
Saying this, the Lord added: "Moreover, Lin Wan'er must know very well in her heart that lying at this time makes no sense. Even if I see these eight characters, even if I believe she didn't lie, I can't give up chasing her until I find the ring. After all, even if the ring is not on her, she must know the whereabouts of the ring. So she wrote these eight characters, not to confuse me, but to anger me!"
The man couldn't help but say: "Lord! If Lin Wan'er didn't lie, does it mean that she has discarded the ring somewhere in Northern Europe?"
The Lord said: "Although the ring is of no use to her, it is of far-reaching significance. She could never discard it casually to save her life."
The man added: "Then could it be deposited in a bank safe somewhere? A ring, if it is entrusted in a bank safe with other things, generally won't attract any attention. The confidentiality of bank safes is extremely high, and identity verification uses fingerprints and irises. She can completely use a fake identity to deposit the ring and then take it out at any time when needed."
"Impossible." The Lord said indifferently: "Lin Wan'er is far more cunning than you think, and even better at calculating. What you can think of, she has already thought of long ago. Bank safes seem secret and inconspicuous, but they are not safe at all. If I want, my Jinyiwei can open all the bank safes in Northern Europe overnight to see what's going on. How could she take such a risk."
The man said suspiciously: "Lord, according to what you said, the ring is indeed not in Lin Wan'er's hands, but she didn't discard it casually, so there must be a very proper way of keeping it. Then, where do you think the ring went? Or rather, what kind of way did she use to keep it remotely?"
The Lord was silent for a few seconds and said indifferently: "I don't know about this either. The only thing I can be sure of now is that although the ring is not in Lin Wan'er's hands, Lin Wan'er is our only clue now, so we must go all out to find her!"
After saying that, he paused slightly and continued: "This time, let Earl Changsheng come out of the mountain himself. You summon him to see me immediately!"
The man was shocked. Earl Changsheng, mentioned by the Lord, was the head of the four Earls.
These four Earls, each of their titles was bestowed by the Lord, namely Earl Changsheng, Earl Dingyuan, Earl Jiangong, and Earl Zhongyong.
The four had followed the Lord for many years and had made great contributions to the development of the Lord's forces.
Earl Changsheng, in addition to ranking first among the four Earls, was also the strongest existence among the four Earls and was the well-deserved second-in-command of the entire organization.
And this man himself was Earl Zhongyong, who ranked last among the four Earls.
Within this organization, his contribution could not compare to the first three Earls, but because he was absolutely loyal to the Lord, he was named Earl Zhongyong and was often by the Lord's side to be dispatched.
In the eyes of Earl Zhongyong, sending Earl Changsheng to track Lin Wan'er felt like using a butcher's knife to kill a chicken.
However, he dared not question the Lord's decision, so he said without thinking: "Lord, this subordinate will go and summon Earl Changsheng."
A few minutes later.
A middle-aged man in a Taoist robe with the appearance of an immortal walked into the main hall with elegant steps.
As soon as he came in, he knelt on one knee, saluted the empty throne, and said respectfully: "Lord, Earl Zhongyong said you summoned this subordinate, I don't know what you have to order?"
The Lord's low voice came: "Earl Changsheng, I will give you five years to find Lin Wan'er's whereabouts. In these five years, I don't care where you go, I don't care what method you use, whatever you want, I will give you, and you don't need my consent for any decision you make. I only want you to bring Lin Wan'er to see me alive within the five-year deadline! Can you do it?!"
Earl Changsheng was stunned for a moment, then held his fists high and said loudly: "Since the Lord is willing to entrust this task to this subordinate, this subordinate will definitely go all out and strive to bring Lin Wan'er back as soon as possible!"
The Lord hummed and said: "These five years, I will give you 500 million US dollars as expenses. After the matter is done, I will give you five small Soul-Nourishing Pills as a reward!"
When Earl Changsheng heard the words "small Soul-Nourishing Pills", he was pleasantly surprised and said: "This subordinate, thanks the Lord!"
After saying that, he immediately leaned down and kowtowed heavily.
Afterward, he raised his head and asked respectfully: "Lord, you know Lin Wan'er best, so regarding Lin Wan'er's whereabouts, I don't know if you have any clues or suggestions you can give to this subordinate?"
The Lord said indifferently: "I know her, and I know her father, but they have both done things that caught me off guard. Perhaps my understanding of them is too solidified, leading to a vicious cycle of mistakes. So Earl Changsheng shouldn't ask me for suggestions. Just do it according to your own intuition, maybe it will have miraculous effects."
"Okay!" Earl Changsheng nodded heavily: "Lord, this subordinate understands!"
The Lord asked curiously: "I wonder if Earl Changsheng has any plans?"
Earl Changsheng arched his hands and said: "Back to the Lord, I plan to go to Huaxia to see!"
The Lord asked quite surprised: "Do you think Lin Wan'er will return to Huaxia?"
Earl Changsheng smiled and said: "I don't think so, I just subconsciously think that the possibility of Huaxia is greater."
"Good!" The Lord rarely hummed and laughed: "Haha, since you have this intuition, then go! Don't delay for a moment!"
Earl Changsheng said without thinking: "This subordinate obeys!"
At the same time.
Ye Chen, along with Hong Wu and Chen Zekai, took Helena's royal helicopter and arrived directly at Oslo Airport.
As a distinguished guest of the royal family, Ye Chen and the others didn't even need to go through customs themselves. As long as they handed their passports to the royal butler, they could complete the customs clearance.
The helicopter landed directly in front of the hangar of Ye Chen's Concorde, and Ye Chen was the first to jump off the helicopter.
Afterward, Ye Chen said to Helena: "Helena, you don't need to bother coming down, just let the pilot take off and go back."
Helena shook her head with reluctance and said: "Mr. Ye, I'd better see you off to the plane. Anyway, it has been under martial law here, and no one else will see me."
Seeing her insistence, Ye Chen had to reach out a hand to help her off the helicopter.
At this time in the hangar, the Concorde was ready.
The captain and other crew members were waiting under the plane.
Helena accompanied Ye Chen into the hangar, and Ye Chen instructed her: "You must pay attention to safety during this period. If you find anything unusual, notify me immediately."
Helena nodded lightly, her eyes red and filled with tears.
She knew that parting with Ye Chen today, she didn't know when she would see him again in the future.
Moreover, Helena also knew that among the many women who loved Ye Chen deeply, she was the most special one.
Others had freedom and didn't have to care about the outside world's views and evaluations, but only she still carried the halo of the Nordic royal family.
Rather than a halo, it was more like a shackle.
Precisely because of this shackle, she had to rise to the diplomatic and political level to leave Northern Europe and go anywhere in the world. If she wanted to leave Northern Europe to see Ye Chen, it was simply a pipe dream, and there was no chance at all.
So the only chance to truly see Ye Chen and communicate and get along with him normally was for Ye Chen to come to Northern Europe to find her.
However, she knew Ye Chen's style of doing things. In non-essential situations, he would definitely not come to Northern Europe to see her.
Thinking of this, Helena felt sad and reluctant in her heart, so she looked at Ye Chen and choked softly: "Mr. Ye, if you have time, you must come to Northern Europe again. If you can't come, please don't forget me..."
Seeing that her tears were already flowing uncontrollably, Ye Chen recalled the strangeness he had perceived in her bedroom this morning, and couldn't help but feel a bit of heartache.
However, although there were no outsiders here, there were many people, not only Hong Wu and Chen Zekai were there, but the crew members were there, and the royal guards were also there.
So, Ye Chen could only comfort her: "Helena, if there is a chance, I will definitely come again. You must take care of yourself in Northern Europe."
Hearing Ye Chen's words, Helena felt a warmth in her heart, and rarely showed a trace of joy, nodding repeatedly: "Mr. Ye, no matter when, as long as you tell me you are coming to Northern Europe, I will definitely wait for you in Oslo!"
Ye Chen nodded slightly and said: "Alright, let's stop here, we are boarding."
Helena nodded with tears in her eyes. At this moment, she really wanted to hug Ye Chen gently and press her face against his chest for three to five seconds.
However, she also knew that in this occasion, she couldn't make such a move at all.
Therefore, she could only keep a distance of half a meter from Ye Chen and said: "Mr. Ye, I wish you a safe journey!"
"Okay." Ye Chen nodded and instructed again: "You take care too, goodbye."
"Goodbye..."
Ye Chen boarded the Concorde under Helena's gaze.
The captain and crew members were also quickly in place and ready for takeoff.
At this time, Helena's group hadn't left yet. They just retreated to a safe distance, seemingly intending to watch Ye Chen's plane leave first.
The captain came to Ye Chen at this time and said: "Young Master, we will take off in ten minutes and expect to arrive in Providence within three hours."
Saying this, he added: "It is 3:00 PM Nordic time now, 9:00 AM New York time. Landing before 12:00 PM New York time should be no problem."
Ye Chen waved his hand and asked with a smile: "It shouldn't take long to fly from here to Syria, right?"
The captain thought for a while and said: "The flight distance should be more than 3,000 but less than 4,000 kilometers. At our flight speed, including takeoff and landing, it will take two hours."
"Okay." Ye Chen nodded, waved his hand, and smiled: "Then let's fly directly to Damascus."
The captain was stunned and asked subconsciously: "Fly to Syria?"
Ye Chen nodded: "Yes, fly to Syria."
The seven Cavalry Guards had already returned to the Syria base ahead of time with Wan Pojun and the soldiers of Wanlong Palace.
And Ye Chen hadn't removed the deadly poison in these seven people's bodies yet.
Moreover, Ye Chen also wanted to see Li Yalin, Wu death date, and that old brother he had just met on the way to Mexico, Lang Hongjun. ===== CHAPTER 2459 =====
