Chapter 401: Chapter 273: One Hundred Eight Lotus Blossoms (Part 3)

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Several bald monks responded in unison and then turned to leave the hospital room.

...

On that day, after Gao Enya explained, Lee Jung-jae, upon learning the real secret behind the numbers in the book, began investigating the women identified by the IDs listed in the book through his connections in the police department.

Eventually, he received shocking news: of the 108 women listed, 105 were already missing.

The time span stretches over twenty years, and it’s evident that someone had started setting this trap decades ago.

It’s now at the point where the net is about to close. If it hadn’t been for Sun Yan and others discovering this in advance, Jin Jieye might have succeeded in collecting all 108 women.

The consequences of that scenario are unimaginable.

Soon, with the help of an old classmate from the police department, Lee Jung-jae began investigating the three women who had not yet disappeared.

As long as they could protect one of the supposed Lotus Spirit Girls, Jin Jieye’s plan would completely fall apart.

"Chanyeol, I really have to thank you this time. Without your help, these women would be doomed."

In the police department, Lee Jung-jae laughed heartily at a man in a police uniform. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Through Gao Enya’s introduction, Sun Yan learned that before becoming a priest, Lee Jung-jae was once a police officer in one of the Eight Western Countries.

Later, his wife and daughter disappeared while traveling abroad, due to a church connection from one of the Eight Western Countries. The church’s sect leader also absconded with funds to America, and they were never heard from again.

From then on, Lee Jung-jae developed a hatred for those churches and decided to fight against all fraudulent churches in the country, becoming a priest and embarking on a just path.

It could be said that churches like Luye Garden are what Lee Jung-jae despises the most.

Before, he didn’t have the opportunity to strike, but now, with a legitimate reason, he would go all out to target them.

"No problem, Jung-jae, you’ve always taken care of me before. Now that you need help, I definitely want to support you." The officer smiled and said, "I have things to do, so I can’t stay with you."

"Okay, okay, you go ahead."

Lee Jung-jae waved his hand as he turned to walk toward Sun Yan and the others.

"I have obtained the information on the three women who haven’t disappeared yet. We’ll split up and act separately. I’ll take people to protect one, and you two will protect another. I’ll notify others in the alliance about the last one. We must not let those scumbags from Luye Garden succeed this time. We need to completely destroy their plan."

Lee Jung-jae handed a file enclosed in a manila envelope to Gao Enya. "This person is entrusted to you. Just keep a secret watch on her, and above all, ensure your safety. We’re here to save people, but our lives are equally important."

"Understood, Jung-jae."

Gao Enya nodded seriously as she accepted the manila envelope.

After Lee Jung-jae left, Gao Enya opened the manila envelope and took out the file inside.

Sun Yan leaned over to look and saw a bunch of words from the Eight Western Countries on the file. A photo stuck to it was most striking.

The photo depicted a fair-skinned girl with straight black hair and delicate features, but her expression was indifferent, showing neither joy nor anger.

Judging by her school uniform, she appeared to be a student still attending school.

"Song Yuanying, a student from Jiangnan High School, born in 2010," Gao Enya said as she read the file and turned to Sun Yan.

"Where is Jiangnan High School? Let’s head there right away."

"Okay."

The two left the police station and immediately caught a taxi to Jiangnan High School.

...

Jiangnan High School, an elite private high school in Jiangnan District, is only available to those truly wealthy.

Ordinary people simply can’t afford the high tuition fee of 40 million Korean won per year, let alone other expenses.

It’s said that after graduating from Jiangnan High School, there is a 100% overseas study rate. It can be described as a golden cradle for children from wealthy families in the Eight Western Countries.

Graduating from here means gaining numerous contacts among the country’s wealthy, thus forming an upper-class circle.

Standing in front of Jiangnan High School’s grand entrance, Sun Yan and Gao Enya got out of the car, staring at the opulent school gate.

"It’s not dismissal time yet, so let’s wait here," Gao Enya said.

"Are you sure we can talk to these rich girls even when school ends?"

Sun Yan shrugged and chuckled, "These people get picked up by luxury cars after school, you know. If we don’t want to lose track of the target, we absolutely can’t wait passively. We have to find a way to get in and locate Song Yuanying."

"How can you say that? The security at Jiangnan High School is no joke. If you dare to break in, you’ll definitely be treated as a threat." Gao Enya quickly reminded, fearing Sun Yan might do something reckless.

"Don’t worry, I have my own plan. You stay here, and I’ll check it out."

Sun Yan said mysteriously, then headed toward the back gate of Jiangnan High School.

With his skills, slipping into a high school undetected was not difficult at all.

Even if the school had numerous surveillance cameras, if Sun Yan didn’t want to be seen, they wouldn’t catch a glimpse of him.

Reaching the back of Jiangnan High School, and seeing no one around, Sun Yan leaped over the wall in one jump and swiftly made his way toward the teaching building.

Meanwhile, outside Jiangnan High School’s entrance, several Bentley cars suddenly arrived and parked by the roadside.

An elderly man in a trench coat and hat stepped out of the cars.

He gazed at the school’s teaching building, a mysterious smile appearing on his face, "So the Lotus Spirit Girl is here, huh? Go find her for me and have her meet me in the principal’s office. Make sure the process is secure, and let no one know I was here today."

The staff beside the elderly man immediately laughed obsequiously, "Understood, Master Relic, we will cover it flawlessly."

With that, the group headed toward the school gate, and the gate’s security didn’t dare to stop them, allowing the group to enter the campus unimpeded.
