419 The Secret About the Past 37 (1/2)
—
”Young Madam, I've managed to find out about the matter you instructed me to look into. It's said that the Reverend lives deep inside the mountains and many wealthy people have tried to consult him to no avail.”
”Have you found out the exact location?”
”Yes, I have.”
”Let's go right now.”
”Young Madam, you want to head there now?” Fan Shixin asked in astonishment.
”I still think this matter is more important. Arrange for the helicopter to take us there, it'd be more convenient that way.”
”Alright, I'll do that right away.”
An Xiaoning shut down the computer and sorted the documents.
She then put on her coat and left together with Fan Shixin.
An Xiaoning drove back to Wei Ni Estate and changed into a sports attire. She also brought along two extra sets as well as all the necessary items.
After she was done preparing, she drove towards her private hangar.
An Xiaoning and Fan Shixin boarded the helicopter together with some bodyguards.
Soon, the helicopter began revolving above Wei Ni Estate and took off towards their destination.
The afternoon sky was brightly lit with fluffy white clouds swaying in the wind.
An Xiaoning's spirits were lifted as she gazed at the vast, clear sky.
”Do you think the Reverend would be able to read your Young Sir's fortune?” she asked Fan Shixin, who was sitting beside her.
”Not necessarily. Young Madam, if even a capable fortune-teller like you can't read Young Sir's fortune, I doubt this Reverend would be able to. But, that actually puzzles me. Young Madam, what types of people won't be able to have their fortune told?”
”Extraordinary ones. Well, at least that's one I'm very certain about, because I can't read my own either,” An Xiaoning answered.
”Young Sir is indeed extraordinary. That's why I think it's very likely that he's still alive now. Since he's no ordinary person, how could he possibly die so easily?” Fan Shixin remarked.
”You have a point. I think so too. If this Reverend we're looking for can really tell that Qingyan is still alive, then Shixin, we have to find him at all costs, even if it means we have to search through the entire N Nation.”
”That goes without saying,” said Fan Shixin, appearing extremely hopeful and optimistic.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
The helicopter flew towards an area surrounded by mountains and woods. After about an hour, it arrived at a bare land.
Upon landing, An Xiaoning and Fan Shixin got down from the helicopter together with the bodyguards.
”It should be near here. I don't know the exact details though.”
”We'll just look around then.”An Xiaoning then turned to the bodyguards behind her and instructed, ”Let's look in opposite directions. A few of you will follow Chief Fan while the rest of you shall follow me.”
”Young Madam, there's no mobile network reception here. I think it's better to stay together. Although it may be slower that way, it'll at least be safer.”
”That'll do too,” An Xiaoning agreed.
They proceeded to search in a certain direction.
After covering a long distance and walking until their legs ached, they still did not manage to find a single trace of a human living in the area.
Thus, they decided to continue searching in another direction instead.
At last, they were greeted with a surprise.
They caught sight of a wooden house just a short distance away.
They lit up with joy and began walking towards the house.
Upon arriving, they discovered that there were two sheep leashed to the front of the house and some chickens in the courtyard. There were also vegetables being grown in the garden.
”Is anyone in?” An Xiaoning called.
No one responded.
An Xiaoning walked up the short flight of stairs and stopped in front of the wooden house. Instead of pushing the door open right away, she called out again gently, ”Is there anyone home?”
Finally, an old-sounding voice answered, ”Who's there?”
