Chapter 302 Thank You for Saving Me
Chu Tian shook his head. He had not yet recovered from the shock.
"Thank you for saving me." Chu Tian said.
“You’re welcome,” the woman said calmly, “I just don’t want to see innocent people get killed.”
"You... who are you?" Chu Tian asked.
The woman was silent for a moment, then said, "My name is Phantom."
"Phantom?" Chu Tian searched for the name in his mind, but he had no impression of it.
"You don't need to know who I am," Phantom said, "You just need to know that I'm here to help you."
"Help me?" Chu Tian looked at Meiying in confusion, "Why do you want to help me?"
"Because of your brother, Chu Feng." said Phantom.
"My brother?" Chu Tian was even more confused. "Do you know my brother?"
"I know him." Phantom nodded, "He used to be my friend."
"Friend?" Chu Tian felt unbelievable, "My brother never mentioned you."
"That's because he doesn't want you to get involved in this dispute," said the Phantom. "He doesn't want you to get hurt."
"Dispute?" Chu Tian asked, "What dispute?"
The phantom looked at Chu Tian, and a complicated look flashed in his eyes.
"There are some things you don't need to know yet." Phantom said, "You just need to know that your brother is a good man, and he has done a lot to protect you."
Chu Tian was silent, he didn't know what to say.
"Now, you are safe." Phantom said, "You can leave."
"Leave?" Chu Tian shook his head. "I can't leave. I still have to find my brother's relics."
"A relic?" asked the Phantom. "What relic?"
"A safe." Chu Tian said, "My brother told me before he died that there were some important things hidden in it."
The phantom looked at Chu Tian, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"Do you know where the safe is?" asked the Phantom.
"I know." Chu Tian nodded, "It's in Ye Xiao's office."
Phantom was silent for a moment, then said, "I can help you."
"You?" Chu Tian looked at Phantom, "Why are you helping me?"
"Because I owe your brother a favor." Phantom said, "I want to help him pay it back."
Chu Tian looked at Phantom with gratitude in his eyes.
"Thank you." Chu Tian said.
"You're welcome." Phantom said calmly, "Let's go."
Phantom brought Chu Tian to Yexiao's office.
The office door was locked, but Phantom quickly unlocked it.
"How did you open it?" Chu Tian asked in surprise.
"Just a little trick." Phantom said lightly.
The two men walked into the office, and Phantom walked over to the safe and began trying to open it.
Chu Tian stood aside, looking at Phantom nervously.
He knew that if they could open the safe, they might be able to find some clues about his brother.
But what if they can’t open the safe, or there’s nothing inside?
Chu Tian didn't dare to think further, he could only pray silently, hoping that everything would go well.
Suddenly, a crisp "click" sound broke the silence in the office.
The safe was opened.
Phantom slowly opened the door of the safe, and Chu Tian's heartbeat quickened.
He couldn't wait to see what secrets were hidden in the safe.
However, when he saw what was in the safe, he was stunned.
The safe was empty, there was nothing in it.
"How could this happen?" Chu Tian said in disbelief.
Phantom was also stunned. She didn't expect the safe to be empty.
"Could it be..." Chu Tian suddenly thought of a terrible possibility, "Could it be that Night Owl has taken the things away?"
The Phantom said nothing. She walked to the safe and checked it carefully.
"There are no signs of being pried open," Phantom said. "The contents of the safe should have always been here."
"Where did that thing go?" Chu Tian became even more confused.
The Phantom looked at the empty safe and fell into deep thought.
Suddenly, she noticed a small bulge on the bottom of the safe.
She reached out and pressed the ridge, and the bottom of the safe popped open, revealing a hidden compartment.
There was a black box in the compartment.
Chu Tian held his breath, feeling the air freeze. Meiying carefully took out the box. It was not big, all black, without a lock or any decoration, plain as a stone.
"Open it and take a look." Chu Tian whispered, his voice a little hoarse.
Phantom nodded and gently opened the lid of the box. There was only a thin piece of paper in the box. On the yellowed paper, there was a line of words written in beautiful handwriting: My son Chu Tian, I am writing to you.
Chu Tian snatched the paper and read it aloud word by word with trembling hands. This was his father's handwriting, and he would never make a mistake. His father had been missing for many years, and his life or death was unknown. Now such a letter suddenly appeared, which made him feel mixed emotions.
On the back of the letter, there are a few lines of small words: Tianer, if you see this letter, it means that I have met with an accident. Remember, don't track down my whereabouts, and don't trust anyone. Find your brother, he will tell you everything. Take care, my child.
Seeing the last sentence, Chu Tian could no longer control his emotions, and tears welled up in his eyes. He tightly grasped the letter, his knuckles turned white, and his heart was filled with grief and anger.
The Phantom patted his shoulder gently and said softly, "My condolences."
Chu Tian took a deep breath and tried to calm himself. He folded the letter carefully and put it in his pocket, then looked up at Phantom and asked, "Do you know my father?"
Phantom shook his head and said, "I am only here to protect your safety as entrusted by your brother."
"My brother..." Chu Tian muttered to himself, with a trace of confusion in his eyes, "Who is he?"
The Phantom was silent for a moment, then said: "There are some things I can't tell you now. When the time is right, you will understand everything."
Chu Tian knew that asking further questions now would not yield any results, so he could only suppress his doubts for the time being. He looked at Phantom and asked, "What should we do next?"
Phantom pondered for a moment and said, "Let's leave here first."
The two left Night Owl's office and left Night Owl's building quietly.
The night enveloped the city, and there were few pedestrians on the streets, with only the dim street lights emitting a faint light. Chu Tian and Meiying walked side by side on the empty streets, and the atmosphere was a little depressing.
"What are your plans next?" Phantom broke the silence.
Chu Tian shook his head and said, "I don't know. I just want to find my brother and figure out what's going on."
Phantom thought for a moment and said, "I can help you find your brother."
Chu Tian heard this and a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart. He quickly asked, "Really? Do you know where he is?"
Phantom smiled mysteriously and said, "I know some clues, but it will take some time to investigate."
