Strangely enough, the overall commander of the operation, a captain, ordered all personnel to keep the disappearance of the two individuals confidential and not to disclose it to outsiders.
"As a family member, I received the news that my son and daughter-in-law died in the line of duty. My wife was already in poor health and couldn't bear the blow; she passed away soon after, leaving me, an old man, all alone. Considering Shasha's young age, I can only survive for her sake," Old Qin added at last.
Hearing this, Qin Huansha began to tear up. Jiang Chen and the Li Brothers were shocked by what they had just learned.
"Old Qin, did the relevant authorities provide you with any compensation?" Jiang Chen asked.
"Yes! But that little money doesn't matter to me. They sent a bodyguard at that time, claiming it was my son's last wish. I was willing because there is an Azure Feather Sect that wants to harm my grandson and me. The first bodyguard stayed with me for seven years. Chungwai is the second one; he only joined me three years ago."
When Jiang Chen heard Old Qin mention the Azure Feather Sect, he couldn't help but ask another question: "Old Qin, how did you know about the Azure Feather Sect? And why do they want to harm you?"
"Well... my Rong'er mentioned it before he passed away. Once when he came home, he told me that there was an organization called the Azure Feather Sect that wanted to kill him. However, because Rong'er was highly skilled in martial arts, they found it difficult to succeed."
"I asked Rong'er what characteristics the Azure Feather Sect had, and he told me that everyone in that organization has a green feather tattoo on their right wrist. He didn't say who founded this organization or why they wanted to kill him; he just advised us to be careful."
"Actually, before Shasha's parents sacrificed themselves, I had never felt the presence of the Azure Feather Sect. I encountered them a few times later on when I already had a bodyguard by my side. The members of the Azure Feather Sect are all beautiful girls. They might have some tricks up their sleeves that could be stronger than men, but when it comes to fighting and killing, they still fall short! Their strength is not on par with Chungwai and his team, so they failed in their attempts to kill me several times. Now that they know I have a bodyguard, they have started targeting Shasha instead."
Old Qin shared a lot of information in one breath. However, everyone still didn't understand the reason behind it all.
Jiang Chen found it puzzling; he wasn't sure if Old Qin was withholding information or genuinely unaware. Suddenly remembering that the leader of the Azure Feather Sect was the orphanage director, Jiang Chen decided that before heading to Myanmar, he would visit the orphanage to see if he could uncover the specific grievances between the Azure Feather Sect and the Qin family.
The next day, Jiang Chen planned to have Lin Yin guide him to the orphanage. However, he received a call from the car dealership informing him that his ordered Bentley had arrived and urging him to come pick it up quickly.
Jiang Chen and Lin Yin had no choice but to change their plans and head to the car dealership first, postponing their visit to the orphanage.
Upon arriving at the dealership, those salespeople who thought themselves attractive initially intended to strike up a conversation with Jiang Chen. But upon seeing Lin Yin accompanying him, they quickly abandoned that idea.
Jiang Chen settled his remaining payment and took possession of the car before handling insurance and license plates. For now, he could only get a temporary plate.
Once everything was taken care of, it was noon. The two had lunch near the vehicle registration office.
After lunch, Lin Yin requested a trip to the supermarket to buy some things for children. After shopping for supplies, Jiang Chen drove Lin Yin to the orphanage. The orphanage was located on the outskirts of town; it took them half an hour to arrive. They parked outside.
Carrying bags filled with goodies, they walked inside.
" Sister Lin is here!" The children at the orphanage were thrilled to see Lin Yin and rushed over to greet her! Lin Yin handed each child a pack of snow cakes.
" Sister Lin, is this your boyfriend?" The children couldn't help but ask curiously upon seeing Jiang Chen.
"Little ones, don't get it wrong; I'm just your Sister Lin's driver! Your Sister Lin bought a big car; here, let me give each of you a little toy car!" Jiang Chen pulled out small toy cars from his bag.
"Wow! Thank you, big brother!" The children were all excited.
"Yin Zi, you're here. Who is this young man?" A middle-aged woman appeared, strikingly beautiful, looking no older than thirty, though Jiang Chen could tell she was actually in her forties.
"Director Hao, let me introduce you. This is Jiang Chen, the chairman of Dongsheng Group," Lin Yin quickly introduced.
"Hello, Director Jiang!" Jiang Chen greeted her promptly.
"Please, come inside and have a seat! Yin Zi, make him some tea!" Director Hao welcomed them warmly.
"Director Jiang, is there something you need to discuss today?" Once they were seated, Director Hao sensed that Jiang Chen had a purpose for his visit.
"Director Hao, your kindness in taking care of so many orphans is commendable. I’m not talented myself, but I’ve brought a check for one million yuan. I hope it won’t be looked down upon!" Jiang Chen took out a check and handed it to Director Hao.
Jiang Chen understood that orphanages relied on donations to cover their expenses. As the chairman of a group, he felt it was only right to contribute during his visit.
"Oh, then on behalf of the children, thank you!" Director Hao accepted it happily without hesitation.
Jiang Chen then got down to business. "Director Hao, are you the leader of the Azure Feather Sect?"
Director Hao was taken aback; not many knew about this. However, since Jiang Chen was aware, it must have been Lin Yin who told him. She had been instructed not to share this information lightly, but since she had informed him, it seemed Jiang Chen was someone trustworthy.
"Yes," Director Hao confirmed.
"May I ask what the mission of the Azure Feather Sect is?" Jiang Chen continued to inquire.
"To eliminate the strong and support the weak, and to protect women!"
"Very good! Qin Huansha is a young girl; why did you send someone to eliminate her?"
"She is the daughter of my enemy; killing her is merely for revenge." Director Hao's demeanor shifted as he began to feel displeased. "Are you here to plead for her?"
"That could be one way to look at it! A beautiful girl dying for no reason is truly a pity. Besides, as you mentioned, your conflict is with her parents; thus Qin Huansha is innocent!" Jiang Chen hoped to persuade Director Hao.
"I can’t get to Qin Huarong and Bai Yuhe anymore; my only outlet for revenge is through their daughter or that old man." Director Hao's expression turned grim, starkly contrasting with his earlier warm demeanor.
Seeing this change in attitude puzzled Jiang Chen even more. "Director Hao, your grievances with the Qin family have nothing to do with me! However, now that I have ties with both families, I cannot bear to see further conflict between you. So I want to understand what exactly happened between you and Qin Huansha's parents."
"Sigh..." Director Hao sighed deeply. "This matter has never been discussed with anyone before. My disciples, including Yin Zi, are very obedient; they follow orders without questioning why. In fact, I've wanted someone to confide in about this matter. Since you’ve asked today, I might as well share!"
It turned out that Hao Shumei (Director Hao's name) was high school classmates with Qin Huarong and Bai Yuhe and had been very close friends. Qin Huarong was the most handsome and academically gifted student in their class. Both Hao Shumei and Bai Yuhe were not only the prettiest girls in their class but also among the most beautiful in the entire school.
