Ye Chen briefly told everyone about his experience this morning, and everyone's faces showed signs of wavering.
"Ye Chen, are you suspecting that one of us has leaked the information?"
Ye Chen shook his head.
"That's not true. I absolutely trust everyone sitting here."
"Besides, I don't intend to investigate where the other party learned that I have seven black wooden boxes."
"There's no point anymore."
"The top priority now is why I brought you all here!"
"What should I do after a week?"
"The mysterious man has made it very clear that he wants me to hand over the seven black wooden boxes, otherwise my family will be ruined!"
"But now, for me, the only family I have is Su Yunqing!"
"Her safety is my biggest concern, since the other party already knows that I have seven black wooden boxes in my hand."
"Then there's no way he doesn't know what Su Yunqing means to me."
"Brother Ye, you mean...that group of people might attack my sister-in-law if they don't get what they want?"
Da Zhuang suddenly interrupted Ye Chen's words.
He nodded.
"That's right! And the other party must have had full confidence before he took the initiative to call me."
"That is to say... they have a way to take Su Yunqing away at any time without my knowledge, or..."
"Kill!"
Niu Ergou narrowed his eyes slightly, and his tone gradually became colder.
"But the black wooden box can never be handed over to them."
Xia Bingbing looked at Ye Chen and said.
"Ye Chen, have you forgotten why you started collecting these things?"
"I agree with what Miss Xia said."
Song Weilong on the side also expressed his opinion.
"Ye Chen, you have to think carefully, why did they call you and ask you to hand it over when you collected seven black wooden boxes?"
"Instead of asking you to continue to help them collect eight black wooden boxes, wouldn't it be more troublesome?"
"There is only one answer..."
Niu Ergou looked at Song Weilong and nodded slightly.
"That's the last black wooden box they have in their hands. As long as they get the seven in your hand, they will have collected all the black wooden boxes."
"The first condition for opening the box has been met!"
"And judging from Miss Xia's diagnosis, Qingqing is most likely the one who made the sacrifice!"
Ye Chen closed his eyes and rubbed his temples.
What everyone said made sense. Su Yunqing was the one who sacrificed the black wooden box, and this cannot be changed.
As long as the other party wants the mysterious power hidden in those eight boxes, Su Yunqing will definitely be injured or even lose her life.
Either of these two results is unacceptable to Ye Chen.
"How about this? Give these black wooden boxes to the other party, and then we hide my sister-in-law. Although we know that my sister-in-law is the key to opening the box, the other party may not know..."
"right?!"
Suddenly an idea flashed in Da Zhuang's mind, he looked at Ye Chen and said.
"no!"
However, before he could finish his words, Xia Bingbing interrupted him.
"Have you forgotten why you and Ye Chen came to my place last time?"
"Not only the owners of the boxes want to open them, but these eight sunspots have also been looking forward to getting together, and then being opened to release the power hidden in them."
"Ye Chen only collected seven black wooden boxes, but Su Yunqing almost committed suicide that time."
"If all eight boxes are gathered together, who can guarantee that the consciousness of the black wooden box will not control her again?"
"And Ye Chen should also be able to know that Su Yunqing, who is controlled by the black wooden box, cannot be viewed with ordinary eyes."
"That is a beast that has lost its mind. It is a ferocious beast!"
Xia Bingbing looked at Ye Chen, as if she wanted to gain his support.
Ye Chen was silent for a while, then nodded slightly.
"Sister Bingbing is right. Last night in the basement of the Su family villa, Qingqing almost went crazy and bit Su Ziheng's neck. At that moment, her strength and speed were beyond the scope of ordinary people."
"The box and the sacrificer are one and the same. When the boxes are assembled, the sacrificer will naturally be in place."
"So from ancient times to the present, everyone has only collected these black wooden boxes, but never looked for the sacrificers necessary to unlock the boxes!"
"So Da Zhuang, your method won't work!"
After hearing what Ye Chen said, Xia Bingbing rejected Da Zhuang's proposal as if it was a final decision.
"Brother Ye, what do you think we should do?"
"Is it possible to really watch your sister-in-law disappear from your side?"
Ye Chen took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.
"No! Of course I can't sit still and wait for death!"
"I won't let Qingqing get hurt at all! This was my original intention of collecting the black wooden box, and this will never change now!"
"I will never allow others to hurt my lover for random reasons like opening these eight broken boxes!"
"So, I will not hand over the black wooden box!"
"Brother Ye..."
Seeing Ye Chen make a decision, Da Zhuang opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.
"but!"
Ye Chen quickly picked up his second sentence.
"I will never let those inexplicable guys get close to Qingqing!"
"There is still one week left. I hope you can help. It is best to use all the resources at your disposal to investigate!"
"Find out who is the mastermind behind everything!"
"good!"
Everyone agreed to Ye Chen in unison, and then stood up one after another and started their actions.
"Brother Ye... I don't have many connections, and my brain is not that good..."
Da Zhuang came to Ye Chen's side with some embarrassment and gently scratched the back of his head.
Ye Chen looked at the strong man behind him and laughed softly.
She clenched her fist and lightly punched his chest.
"Okay, okay, I know what you want to say."
"You can act together with me these days!"
After saying that, Ye Chen walked towards the door of the box.
"Hey! Okay!"
Da Zhuang beamed with joy, nodded quickly in response, and then followed Ye Chen's pace.
However, since the other party dared to call Ye Chen, it meant that they had the confidence that even if Ye Chen turned the entire Shen City upside down, they would not be able to find themselves.
However, the fact is indeed the case. A week has passed, and Ye Chen and the others haven't found even a single clue about the stranger, let alone any clues about that stranger.
"There is no other way... It seems we can only wait for the other party to contact us..."
Ye Chen patted the table lightly, looking furious.
"Ye Chen... I'm so sorry... We really tried our best..."
Niu Ergou slumped on the sofa and said with a tired face.
