Zhao Shaohua was very frustrated. Originally, he thought that after he arrived at Nanjing city, he could directly get back to the munic.i.p.al office building, but he did not expect that those SWAT police from Shanghai did not care about him and his superior’s feelings at all. They just ran around with that young man doing all kinds of crazy things. They could forget the fact that they had run to Dan Yang city to intervene in other people’s business, but why did they want to break into the Liang family?

They would have protested if he had not seen two mind-blowing battles. After all, this was Nanjing, it was their territory, they should be the ones that were giving the command here.

However, after personally experiencing the terrifying battle on the train track in Dan Yang city and the incredible duel in the Nanjing university basketball court, Zhao Shaohua suddenly became timid. A series of bizarre scenes were wreaking havoc on his intellectual system and worldview, causing a great deal of confusion. His head was in a whirl, everything was as surreal as a nightmare, and even though the disappearance of the Sun was said to have scientific explanations, the pictures he had seen were far beyond comprehension.

After forcing himself to calm down for a while, he started to think about Yu Jian’s intention. It seemed like he intentionally kept him and his superior with them, and perhaps, he wanted them to see those things. To put it bluntly, this was to show them their strength, it was a type of deterrence. It seemed like he wanted to hint them that they should not join the wrong team when the time comes.

In any case, the goal of Yu Jian was achieved. However, after his superior was sent away by one helicopter, he was asked to stay behind. And the reason was that he needed to ask the people that were in charge of Nanjing University to grant Chu Yunsheng and the white shadow man permission to enter the university’s library.

Actually, he did not even need to get permission from the people who were in charge of the university, because Chu Yunsheng and the white shadow man had already entered the library. No one dared to stop them. All Zhao Shaohua needed to do was to handle the rest.

While he was dealing with the people from the university and eating the food, Chu Yunsheng and the white shadow man were already in the most ancient section of the library of Nanjing university.

The library itself was not old, it has been renovated before. What was old was the book inside the library.

Clean and clearly labeled, rows and rows of bookshelves were spread out as far as the eye could see. The fluorescent lamps on the ceiling were extremely bright, lighting up the entire hall. Countless old books quietly lying on the shelf, as vast as a sea, if you sit down to read one by one, probably you would not be able to read them all in your lifetime

“You brought me here to read these books? I don’t understand any of these ancient texts.”

After getting the second jade pendant from the white shadow man, Chu Yunsheng was finally relieved. With two jade pendants in his hands, once they were combined with the ancient book, the book would be able to locate the exact location of the third one. Now It was just a matter of time that he would be able to find the third pendant. Since everything would become smooth later, Chu Yunsheng also did not mind following the white shadow man into the library to check what exactly he wanted to show him.

But he did not let down his guard. He did not believe that after spending a great deal of effort to follow him, steal a gun, steal a jade pendant and then fight with him, he just wanted to show him something.

“People use history to make sure that they don’t make mistakes, and history is contained in books. If there were no books or words, human beings would have made so many mistakes.” The white shadow man stroked one book after another, and took out a book that was written in the late Qing dynasty, stroked the cover of the book and sighed,

“In those days, how enthusiastic and pa.s.sionate the students around the nation were when they partic.i.p.ated in the Gongche Shangshu movement(1895), however, in just a hundred days, we saw how hopeless it was to start a reform… After the queen took control over the court, Jun. Kang and Jun. Liang were forced to escape from the capital. However, many other members that were still in the reform party in the capital, were either killed or captured, including their family members. Everyone in my family, more than forty people, were all executed because of that. I was the only one that was able to escape from the capital. After crossing many rivers and mountains, after so many days of fear and panic, I almost pa.s.sed out outside Nanjing city.”

The white shadow man paused as if he was immersed in the past memory. His facial expression gradually became bleak, as if he was mourning.

After a long time, the expression on his face slowly recovered slightly, “that year, your ancestor Jun. Chu was just nineteen years old. He, who was ambitious, was just about to finish his apprentices.h.i.+p. But it is a pity that that time was not a good time, people were starving everywhere. Most people could not even take care of themselves, let alone a stranger. However, not only did your ancestor help me, but he also treated me with great courtesy. Though he was very poor, he still provided me with food and hid me in a hut at the risk of being killed.
