Chapter 988 - Cracking The Code (1/2)
The numbers looked like they were Beale cyphers The Beale cypher was created in 1885 It was said to be a location of a treasure worth sixty-five million dollars However, no one had cracked the code to his day The Beale cypher constrained only numbers, similar to this note
Xia Lei wasn’t interested in the legendary treasures, nor did he think that this was a part of the Beale cypher He used many methods in an attee
“What exactly do these numbers represent? Are these location coordinates for Li Youdun to send information to? Or are these the time and location to meet Li Youdun?” wondered Xia Lei bitterly
Five minutes later
“Wait…” Xia Lei had an idea “The pigeon had flown directly into the office This mustn’t be the first time it has passed Li Youdun a note like that These numbers seemed very random but Li Youdun must have a method to read them He must have the tools to crack the code!”
When the word ‘tools’ appeared in his mind, a flood of information related to passwords came into Xia Lei’s mind There were contents from literature and movies, all these were mystery-themed books and movies he had encountered
One minute later
He smirked coldly and opened the drawer by the office desk He took a novel out
It was a French novel named The Mysterious Island
Xia Lei had found this book aspecial At the ti a French novel but did not think much of it He didn’t ask Li Youdun about it either Now, he thought differently as he took the book out
Li Youdun could understand English He had conversed in English before too However, Xia Lei hadn’t heard hi was a very normal activity, it was especially co He would’ve found it a lot more suspicious if he found a novel near someone who didn’t like to read
Xia Lei opened The Mysterious Island then flipped to the pages according to the numbers on the note He then picked out individual words by counting to the number on the note too He translated these words into Mandarin and wrote them down on another piece of paper
Very soon, he had successfully decoded the ht Tree Leaves Cafe
He burned the note and left Li Youdun’s office He also put the novel back into the drawer
Ten minutes later, Xia Lei drove out of the Thunder Horse headquarters He was also driving Li Youdun’s car, a Buick Envision SUV He’d inspected this car before and did not find any proble overtiht shi+ft
Xia Lei said, “Yeah, there’s still a lot to be done Aren’t you the sauard opened the gates for Xia Lei
Xia Lei nodded at him and drove out of the headquarters onto the ates of Peace Mansion, he took one glance but did not stop
Fro alone
Within the Peace Mansion, four woathered in Xia Lei’s roo Siyao was filled orry “He doesn’t want us to help”
“How could he do that?” said Jiang Ruyi, panicking “It’s dangerous for hie deal How could he just leave like that? He didn’t even bring a partner with hi said, “Don’t worry, just trust hi it this way I’ve experienced things way erous than this with hi Siyao said, “Sister Fan Fan, when hubby left, he said that the FA and Hattori clan will attack during your wedding You’ve got to report this to the authorities and apply for the et involved But before the other party reveals thenorant to the matter Do not take any action beforehand”
Fan Fan sighed “Alright, I knohat to do” After a pause, she said fiercely, “I’ll punch anyone who tries to ruin ave her a thu Siyao smiled “Sister Fan Fan, do you really have to be this fierce?”
Fan Fan s Ruyi merely smiled without a word
Xia Lei’s four wives could be divided into two categories One was the nor Ruyi, who had never killed before The other teaular people who had countless kills under their belt
Meanwhile, deep in the hills, within the dense forest
The retreating troops stopped in their tracks because the two leaders had given the cue to stop
Sirita said, “Mr Hattori, there isn’t anyone after us Are you going to explain yourself?”
