Peng An and I were constantly being watched too. What I can do now is to eliminate all those in the know. Even Mr. Peng doesn’t know about this, as I do not wish for him to die over it. The coordinates are below; a chemical expert and a weapons expert are needed to proceed together.

Zhou Xiangrong, Bai Mei’s final words
December 31, 1994
Following this was a list of 19 people. Evidently, these were the names of the nearly twenty comrades-in-arms that father had mentioned. Upon seeing this, Zhou Ning was already in tears. His father had written these things overnight, hoping that he would carry and pass on the message.
Even in his last moments, he hoped that his son would survive and transmit the message!
Mr. Zhao had already taken a clear picture through the magnifying glass, and Zhou Ning had read out the content.
Xu Dayuan’s hand landed firmly on Zhou Ning’s shoulder, gripping it tightly. Tao Zhenshan and Fang Mu also reached out from different directions with Fang Mu already starting to cry while Mr. Zhao coughed.
"Let’s keep our emotions in check for now. The photos have been taken, and we’ve found the physical evidence. I guess no one expected Zhou Ning’s parents to hang such crucial stuff plainly in view. Look at this room; they nearly tore it apart. Actually, having such evidence now, whether Bai Qishan is interrogated is irrelevant. Let me check the coordinates first."
Xu Dayuan nodded.
"Not interrogating Bai Qishan is the right call. The main reason is that the evidence wasn’t solid. If there’s nothing wrong with the coordinates on this wolf fang, then this is the best evidence. Besides, have your grandfather identify An Liwei’s photo to see if he’s the one who went to your house?"
Zhou Ning glanced at the time; it was already nearly seven o’clock. His grandfather was certainly up by now, so he hurried to compose a WeChat message.
By now, Mr. Zhao had already attempted to enter the latitude and longitude. He found the coordinates on his first try and after zooming in for a closer look, compared them to the positions they had marked earlier. Mr. Zhao slapped his thigh and said: fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
"Uncle Zhou is too awesome. The position marked here is actually the main cave on the north side that we found. If this wolf fang were discovered, and they found these coordinates, they’d think that the treasure they were looking for is completely different from the one hidden by Uncle Zhou. These eight coffins are the perfect shield."
Xu Dayuan pursed his lips tightly, clutching his cap with a look of emotion.
"From discovering a traitor among the higher-ups to hiding all the treasures, eliminating all twelve insiders from Sapporo and Minjin, and leaving behind the final clue—what kind of wisdom is this? If it were me, I’m afraid I couldn’t do it."
As he spoke, he received a message back from his grandfather, who had received the WeChat photo.
Grandfather: Where did you get this photo?
Zhou Ning: Grandfather, have you seen him? The man who returned my parents’ ashes to Qindao, was it him?
Grandfather: Yes.
Seeing this response, Zhou Ning let out a long sigh of relief but then immediately realized something. He remembered his grandfather saying that right after his father’s graduation, it was this man who came to their house to announce the identity of his parents that could be made public. So, wasn’t An Liwei also my father’s superior?
As this crossed his mind, his grandfather’s phone call came through, and Zhou Ning quickly answered it, hearing the old man’s voice trembling.
"Xiao Ning, where did you get this photo?"
Zhou Ning turned to look at Xu Dayuan, who nodded. He then reassured:
"Grandfather, we’re investigating a case related to what father was looking into before. We found this person and learned that he seemed to have protected me back then and even brought me back to Qindao. I just wanted to confirm with you, is this the person who sent back father’s ashes?"
"It’s him, I recognized him at a glance. However, his accent had a bit of a Qindao twang, but he spoke Mandarin in general. He always told me to take good care of myself, after all, I had to look after you too, and that gave me a sense of reliance. Although you were unconscious at the time, the doctor said you were well taken care of, and the treatment was timely.
He didn’t say much else... About the case, I won’t ask. I know you have your rules, and the case you are investigating must be no small matter; otherwise, Momo couldn’t have been away, and Shancun wouldn’t have gone to assist you. But have you seen this man?"
"I haven’t seen him. I heard he passed away over a decade ago. Once I’m done here, I’ll pay respects at his grave, after all, without his protection, I wouldn’t be alive."
"Ah."
The old man sighed.
"Grandfather, don’t worry. I’m fine, and things are coming to an end here. But starting now, please don’t go out. Just walking around your complex is fine."
"Don’t worry, I’ll do as you say. I won’t trouble the police for protection."
The grandfather obviously understood the situation, and Zhou Ning didn’t quite know what to say for a moment, so he laughed casually.
"Rest assured, grandfather, I’ll be back soon. Once everything is settled, I’ll explain everything to you in detail, but now I must get back to work!"
"Okay, Xiao Ning, our Zhou family doesn’t need any more martyrs. You have to take care of yourself for Momo, and come back safely. I’m waiting for you!"
Saying this, the grandfather took the initiative to hang up the phone.
Mr. Zhao was beside him, already turning his head to wipe away tears; the old man was too sharp. He quickly nudged Xu Dayuan.
"Boss, if they’ve been monitoring Zhou Xiaozhou’s house for so many years, we really need to assign competent people to protect it, so there’s no mishap with the grandfather."
Xu Dayuan nodded.
"Don’t worry about that. After I arrived in Qindao, Mr. Hu had already arranged protection for Zhou Xiaozhou’s home. Of course, it’s not just Zhou Xiaozhou, but also the families of all of us. We can’t be distracted by worries about our homes."
