I Am Born With A Silver Spoon
Chapter 532 The Important Lead on the League of the Sun

"There is definitely no mistake, Chen Hao is just too terrifying right now!"

The young man was clearly scared out of his wits as he cried out.

"Bastard! How did Chen Hao attain such a capability in just a year? I must make the Chen Family pay tenfold for their actions no matter what! Where is Mo Yu?" Mo Changkong was trembling in anger.

"Elder Mo, Elder Mo!"

Just at this moment, someone came stumbling toward Mo Changkong.

"I've f-found Young Master Mo and Butler Mo's body in front of the house!" he said tearfully.

"What?!"

Mo Changkong's scream was ear-splitting; it was as if his scream travelled across the entire Long Jiang, including Nanyang and the Chen Family's residence!

"Is there something going on these few days? My heart is flustered and I have a hunch that something is going to happen!"

Chen Jindong was in the living room on the island as he spoke with a frown on his face.

"What matter can there be? Jindong, are you feeling too stressed out because Chen Hao is missing?" said Yang Yuping as she walked over, feeling bad for him.

He sighed. "It has been more than a year in just the blink of an eye. According to our agreement earlier on, Chen Hao was supposed to get married to Shen Lan this year. Everything was going so well initially, but now, everything is lost!" A flash of heartache crossed Chen Jindong's eyes.

"Nevertheless, I feel something is off about Shen Lan recently. Ever since Xiaobei and her returned from the Southwest Region half a year ago, she seemed like she had turned into a completely different person. The two of them would often whisper in each other's ears and giggle to each other. I've seen that happening a couple of times already, but they refuse to answer me every time I ask what they were talking about," Yang Yuping said.

"Is that so? Now that you've mentioned it, I also recall from half a year ago, Shen Lan and Xiao Bei would cry their hearts out every day. I even heard from my servants that Shen Lan would hide in her room and cry for the entire day. Her eyes were always puffy every time I saw her!"

"You're right, she has changed after coming back half a year ago!"

"Yes, we were the ones who watched Shen Lan grow up. Although she has never lived with Chen Hao before, she has strong feelings for him. Xiaobei is also fond of Chen Hao. But logically speaking, this just doesn't make any sense!" added Yang Yuping.

"Oh, let's not make any more assumptions. We might as well look for them and ask them face to face, then we'll get our answers, right?" suggested Chen Jindong.

He then immediately instructed the servants to call Shen Lan and Xiaobei over.

"Were you guys looking for us?" asked Shen Lan as she walked in with a smile on her face.

"Shen Lan, we've called Xiaobei and you over mainly because we want to understand what had actually happened half a year ago when the two of you were in the Southwest Region? During the past half year I've been too busy with the inspection team and did not have the time to ask you about this. Also, I thought the two of you had gone to buy King Ginseng, where is it?" asked Chen Jindong. "Ah? The King Ginseng..."

Shen Lan's face immediately turned red.

She had actually bought the King Ginseng to give it to Chen Hao.

However, Chen Hao did not want to reveal his whereabouts to avoid giving trouble to the Chen Family. Thus, he wanted Shen Lan to help him keep it a secret, so Shen Lan did not reveal anything at all during this past half year.

She was afraid that if she said it out, her parents would not be able to get a hold of themselves. Chen Hao would be in danger once he was exposed and this would give the Mo Family an opportunity to strike. "We've bought the King Ginseng, but we lost it accidentally. Someone had stolen it away!" Xiaobei quickly replied, knowing that Shan Lan was not good at lying.

"I see, and other than this, did the two of you meet anyone else?" questioned Chen Jindong with a frown on his face.

"Huh? No, no!" Shen Lan shook her head.

At this moment, the butler came in.

"Master, Mister Mo Weiping has brought the inspection team over and they are waiting outside the gate!"

"Oh?" Chen Jindong stood up hurriedly. "Invite them in right away!"

Over the past one year, Mo Weiping had been secretly helping him so that he would not be too troubled by Mo Changkong.

Hence, Chen Jindong respected him greatly.

“Mr. Mo!”

"President Chen!"

"Mr. Mo, are you here because you have some leads regarding that sunken ship incident in Nanyang?" asked Chen Jindong worriedly.

Mo Weiping sat down. "Alas, God helps those who help themselves. Our hard work for the past year has not been futile. You're right, we finally have some lead on the League of the Sun!" Chen Jindong and the rest of the people exchanged gazes and smiled.

After that, Mo Weiping took a scroll of drawing out from his backpack.

There were drawings of natural landscapes on the map. The scenery was breathtaking and it looked like paradise.

There was a marking on the top left corner of the landscape drawing; it was clearly the marking of the League of the Sun.

"What's this?" Chen Jindong was curious.

"Hehe, this is a drawing that was on a tombstone that we salvaged from a place. We replicated it. I've asked my men to draw it out like the exact original version to present it to you! The marking on it caught our attention because it resembles the marking of the League of the Sun. So, it must have been left behind by the League of the Sun!" explained Mo Weiping.

"However Mr. Mo, why does this drawing give me a feeling that it isn't complete, as if it is missing something?" asked Yang Yuping who was standing at the side.

"You have excellent observations, Madame. You're right, when we discovered the tombstone, it had been shattered. We could not replace the missing pieces and all we could make out was this landscape drawing that looks like paradise!" Mo Weiping could not help but knit his brows.

"I, Chen Jindong, have been to so many popular landscapes from all over the world, but I have never seen such a magnificent place before..." Chen Jindong was discussing with Mo Weiping while Shen Lan just listened at the side.

At the same time, she was curious about the painting as well, so she took a glance at it.

At first glance, this landscape drawing looked like a paradise indeed. However, the dense forest seemed mysterious.

"Huh? Dad, mum, Mr. Mo, take a look at the mountain here! It looks like something is there!" exclaimed Shen Lan while pointing at the drawing.

"Oh?"

Everyone looked over to where she was pointing.

After a while, they still could not make out what it was.

Shen Lan explained, "It looks like a statue of a lady that has fallen over. The statue seems to be broken in half by the waist. Dad, don't you see it?"

Chen Jindong and Mo Weiping exchanged looks.

It did look like a white rock or something similar, but how could it be a statue?

The two of them just shook their heads.

Shen Lan took a deep breath. She was confused; it was very obvious and she could clearly see the broken statue of a lady that had toppled over. Although it was slightly blurry, she could also make out the lady's figure and it was easily recognizable!

Nevertheless, Yang Xiaobei and Yang Yuping took a good look at it but everyone still insisted that it was an object that resembled some white rock, not a statue.

"Hehe, could it be that Miss Shen Lan's eyes are different and could see what we all couldn't?" asked Mo Weiping sarcastically.

"Sorry about that, Mr. Mo. Maybe I have just mistaken it for something else." Shen Lan only shook her head quickly and did not say anything else.

"Nonetheless, President Chen, there is something I must ask you!" said Mo Weiping as he seemed to have remembered something.

"Go ahead..."

"Have you ever asked for help from anyone else besides the Mo Family? Do tell me the truth!" said Mo Weiping in a serious manner. Chen Jindong shook his head. "Why would I? I have never asked anyone else!"

Mo Weiping knitted his brows. "That's weird, then who... is this man?"
