Treasure Book.

Summary

Su Lan's letter reveals her prior knowledge of a case involving Yue Chen's father, Yue Ji Wei, who allegedly released a criminal and then committed suicide, with three eyewitnesses from a special task force confirming this. A mysterious copper coin found at the scene later vanished, and its investigation was classified. Su Lan sought help from a family friend in the Ministry of Public Security but was advised to give up. The letter also mentions a Hong Kong national, once a suspect for espionage, who is now a notable figure in business. Yue Chen visits Qing Shan Hospital to consult Dr. Zhang Lei about the Ji Zhong Yun Shan area, suspecting it may be linked to a child abduction case. Zhang Lei initially feigns ignorance but later offers to help after Yue Chen asserts his skills. They discuss the area's historical significance and its connection to unsavory trades, but Zhang Lei claims not to know current players. Yue Chen invites him to accompany him to Yun Shan, which Zhang Lei protests against. Later, Yue Chen practices fencing and informs his senior disciple, Chen Yong, about taking a few days off. He also invites his friend Cai Tie Jun to join him on a trip out of town. The narrative hints at upcoming developments in the plot, with a promise of more chapters to be released soon.
