Female Novel
Chapter 719 What if He was Still Alive
Nobody would have thought that Chen Hao, who was once a poor kid, was actually the esteemed
Young Master Chen; even General Manager Li Zhenguo would have to kneel before him. Goodness!
Chen Hao left the scene with the crowd looking on in astonishment; he couldn't care less about these
people.
Meanwhile, in the study room, Li Zhenguo said, “Young Master Chen, I'm so glad that you're fine. We
thought…” His eyes reddened.
“You thought something happened to me as well, didnt you?” Chen Hao then asked, “Zhenguo, what
actually happened recently? I heard you people are transferring the company’s assets?”
“Yes, Young Master Chen, but take a look at this first!.
Li Zhenguo nodded firmly before carefully pulling out an item wrapped with a yellow cloth from his
office bag.
Chen Hao took the item from Li Zhenguo, but as soon as he opened up the item, his eyelids started to
twitch.
It was the Holy Water Order!
Wasn't this the Holy Water Order which was given out to the crowd previously by the mysterious group,
possibly the League of the Sun?
Chen Hao remembered that this Holy Water Order was the one that belonged to his grandfather.
After stumbling upon some accidents during the Holy Water Ritual, nobody knew whether his
grandfather was alive or dead. And now, Chen Hao couldn't help feeling anxious with the emergence of
his Holy Water Order at this moment.
“Zhenguo, what actually happened?” asked Chen Hao immediately.
“Young Master Chen, everything started a few days back!” Li Zhenguo started explaining everything to
Chen Hao.
So the story went like this—a few days ago, the president of China’s Economic Zone, President Yang
Xiaobei suddenly received an order from the Chen Family, asking her to head to the Southern Region
after handing the business in the China’s Economic Zone over to Li Zhenguo and Zhong Wuyan to
manage.
Everything went on as usual until Li Zhenguo received a phone call from Young Mistress Shen Lan
herself a few days later.
Young Mistress sounded like she was in an urgent situation. After giving Li Zhenguo a few simple
instructions, she hung up hurriedly, leaving Li Zhenguo puzzled by her instructions.
She instructed him, “This matter is urgent because something is going to befall the Chen Family. You
must transfer all of the assets in China's Economic Zone to be under your name right away on my
behalf. You have to hurry, because all the other business districts around the world are doing the same
thing! Quick, you must hurry!”
After emphasizing the same thing a couple of times, Young Mistress hung up the phone.
This explained the scene where Li Wen noticed the two of them secretly transferring the assets.
Young Mistress was talking in a very urgent tone, so even though Li Zhenguo had his doubts, he did
not dare delay the matter because he knew something serious must have happened. Hence, he
proceeded to do as instructed, ensuring that he did not cause any unnecessary delay to the matter.
If things had been this simple, Li Zhenguo would not have been this worried.
Soon after he was done with the matters instructed by Young Mistress, Li Zhenguo received a
message from her once again, which said, ‘The Chen Family is done for. I could be facing danger at
any time, and I wonder if Chen Hao is alright. I will be giving you something. You must guard it and
secretly find out where Chen Hao is. After that, hand this item to him. All the clues are in there.’
Things happened very quickly, as Li Zhenguo had woken up on the previous night to find this Holy
Water Order at his bedside.
The entire sequence of events was just bizarre to Li Zhenguo, which made him begin to panic; he did
not know where to start looking for Young Master Chen.
Just when he was frustrated about this, he was surprised and delighted when he suddenly received a
call from Chen Hao.
Thus, he handed the item to Chen Hao as soon as possible.
“Tell me, what else did Lan say, other than she could be facing danger at any time?” Chen Hao
frowned, trying to understand the situation.
“She did not say anything else. This was all she told me!” answered Li Zhenguo.
I could be facing danger at any time.
Three days ago, Li Wen witnessed an assailant kidnapping someone at the Chen residence in the
morning.
However, Chen Hao noticed that Shen Lan had sent this message in the afternoon.
The Chen Family had already met their end at that time.
This also meant that perhaps Shen Lan was not kidnapped, and she managed to flee the scene; or
maybe she did not come back at all, coincidentally escaping the ordeal.
However, she must have foreseen the danger—that was why she gave those instructions to Li
Zhenguo.
What is actually going on? What is that person trying to do? thought Chen Hao to himself, holding
tightly onto the Holy Water Order in his hands.
Uncle Pingan said that the person who had been secretly watching him in the shadows was the
mastermind behind everything that was happening.
What was his objective?
Chen Hao could not wrap his head around it.
“Young Master Chen, the Chen Family’s phone cannot be reached anymore. What is going on?” asked
Li Zhenguo worriedly.
“Just do as Shen Lan has instructed. Transfer the assets as quickly as possible and execute the rest of
the things as per our previous plan. I will handle the rest of the stuff!” instructed Chen Hao. Then, he
focused all of his thoughts on the Holy Water Order.
What did Shen Lan mean by the Holy Water Order containing all the clues?
This Holy Water Order belonged to his grandfather.
Was Shen Lan hinting that something had happened to his grandfather?
Was that the reason the Chen Family was destroyed?
However, the initial prophecy from the Sun Totem seemed like it was true after all—a power had indeed
surfaced, destroying the Chen Family as predicted.
If so, was he the next to be gone?
Chen Hao scrutinized the Holy Water Order repeatedly, but still did not notice anything that was
peculiar about it.
Thinking about the ritual involving the Stone of Fate on the same night, Chen Hao decided to go back
first, and would decide on his next move after consulting Uncle Pingan about it.
After giving Li Zhenguo some instructions, Chen Hao did not linger around any longer.novelbin
As for his ex-classmate, Hao Lanlan, she did not do well after graduating. After seeing the high salary
offered by Hot Spring Villa, she decided to work here as a waitress.
Chen Hao then instructed Li Zhenguo to take extra care of her before leaving.
After returning to the manor, Chen Hao informed Uncle Pingan about this clue.
“This is the Holy Water Order. Shen Lan treated dad’s Holy Water Order very seriously. She must have
known something was coming, so she has hidden herself. The only thing that remains uncertain now is
whether she’s in any danger. If not, certain things will surely come to light when we find her!” said Chen
Pingan. “So, Hao, you have to focus on recovering your Foundation. The faster you recover, the sooner
we can get the upper-hand!” added Chen Pingan.
“Understood, Uncle!”
“I will help you discover the clues in this Holy Water Order. Since you're back, help Ziyan in refining the
Stone of Fate, then proceed with recovering your Foundation!” instructed Chen Pingan.
“Alright, I will do it right away!”
“Hold up, Chen Hao!”
Chen Pingan was holding the Holy Water Order in his hands; his tone carried a hint of indecision.
“What is it, Uncle?“
“If, and I mean if, your grandfather is still alive, what will you do?”
Chen Pingan was unsure how to phrase his question.
Chen Hao forced out a laugh. “Uncle, if Grandpa is still alive, of course I'd be elated. I'd even look for
him as quickly as I can! If Grandpa is still alive, and with you around, the three of us can then save our
family and be reunited!”
“Chen Hao, you probably didn't understand what I’m trying to say. What I meant was, the people who
joined the Holy Water Ritual are dead. Have you ever thought about why your grandfather is still alive?”
asked Chen Pingan after pondering for a moment.
“What do you mean, Uncle?”
Chen Hao was puzzled.
