Emperor's Heart
After spending over an hour, they were finally done checking Zhuge Feifan's remaining five properties .
It was almost 11 p . m . when they returned to the Union Government headquarters in First City .
"Are there any new clues?" Qian Rui asked immediately upon seeing them coming back .
"No, we only saw him packing his stuff and burning the houses down . " Guan Zhong shook his head helplessly . "But he changed a couple more dimensional portals, of which I've taken pictures . "
"This guy has so many dimensional portals," Huang Tufu could not help but ridicule . They had seen nine dimensional portals so far and Zhuge Feifan would change one everywhere he went .
"I've sent the pictures . Did you get anything on your side?" Guan Zhong queried Qian Rui immediately .
"We've gotten An Jing's details . Indeed, she's just an ordinary person . She's 32 this year and is teaching literature at the Hunter Reserve College in the new eastern district . She has no criminal records and is immensely popular at school . She has excellent relationships with her colleagues and the students .
"There's nothing wrong with her identity . We still haven't figured how exactly Zhuge Feifan got to know her for now . Zhuge Feifan must've bought the unit in the small area after knowing her . "
"The timeline you mentioned fits . I still remember that it was two years ago when he bought the unit . I was confused about why he would buy a property in such a small area back then . Now that I thought about it, he must've done that to woo An Jing . " Guan Zhong recalled when Zhuge Feifan bought the place and he confirmed Qian Rui's speculation .
"We've also found out where Zhuge Feifan and An Jing took the pictures . Three of them were taken in First City, two at Lakeside Park in the new eastern district, and one at Heart Ocean in the central district . The remaining four were taken in different footholds . "

"Where's An Jing now?" Lin Huang asked .
"It's the summer break, so she's been giving extra classes to her students . It seems like her memory is indeed erased . I haven't sent anyone to monitor her at the moment because I figure that Zhuge Feifan might be around and he'll be warned easily . " Qian Rui was afraid to alert Zhuge Feifan .
At that moment, Zhuge Feifan had no idea that his relationship with An Jing had been exposed . He thought that to the Union Government, An Jing was just a regular neighbor, so they would not take note of her . Zhuge Feifan would definitely find out if they were following her .
"I guess we're off the mission now, eh?" Huang Tufu asked .
"Thank you so much, Master Emperor . You've helped us a lot this time . If not for you, we wouldn't have found out about his relationship with An Jing . " Qian Rui thanked him while smiling graciously .
"Thanks for all the trouble, Master Emperor . " Guan Zhong was also being grateful .
"Hey, what about me?" Huang Tufu looked annoyed from being completely ignored .
"Mr . Tufu, too! Thanks for your hard work," said both of them while smiling .
"Master Emperor, do we head back to Emperor City?" Huang Tufu glared at both of them and asked Lin Huang .
"There's no rush . We'll head back in two days . It's not every day that we get to come to First City . Shouldn't we do some sight-seeing since we're here?" Lin Huang, on the other hand, was not in a rush to head back . "Moreover, Mr . Guan has yet to fulfill the condition that he promised me earlier . "
"What condition?" Guan Zhong was stunned to hear that .

Qian Rui peeped at him, worried that Guan Zhong might have promised to do something that he should not have .
"The complimentary Emperor's Heart Ring's unlocking service . Did you forget?" Lin Huang glanced at Guan Zhong with his brow raised .
"Oh, I've almost forgotten about that!"
Qian Rui was relieved to hear that that was the condition Lin Huang meant .
"Complimentary unlocking service? Can you count me in? I also have some Emperor's Heart Rings that need to be unlocked," Huang Tufu requested immediately when he heard that the service was complimentary .
"Sure," Guan Zhong agreed right away . There was no difference for him to provide service for an extra person .
"I'll bring you guys over now," declared Guan Zhong and he summoned a dimensional portal .
The three of them stepped in one after another and soon disappeared from where they were .
Lin Huang realized they were in an underground cave when they walked out of the dimensional portal .
"Just put the Emperor's Heart Rings that you guys want to unlock into the tree hollow over there . " Guan Zhong pointed at the giant sphere that appeared like it was made of layers of roots not far away . There were tiny, round holes on the surface .
"So, is this the Emperor's Heart?" Lin Huang walked up skeptically . He then placed more than 3,000 Emperor's Heart Rings into one of the holes .
Huang Tufu followed behind and took out a handful of Emperor's Heart Rings and put them into the other hole next to it . He could not help but steal a peep at Lin Huang . To his shock, he saw a sheer amount of rings that almost filled the entire hole .

"So many Emperor's Heart Rings! How long have you been saving those, Master Emperor?"
"I basically got them yesterday . "
Huang Tufu was even more shocked when he heard that revelation . He recalled that Lin Huang had not been in Emperor City yesterday .
Did he rob the entire organization?!
Meanwhile, Guan Zhong, who stood tens of meters away, did not find it strange . He had witnessed almost Lin Huang's entire battle yesterday . Naturally, he knew very well where those rings came from .
As both of them placed the Emperor's Heart Rings into the holes, roots stretched out of the tree hollow slowly and grabbed all of the rings .
Lin Huang took a few steps back and turned his head to ask Guan Zhong softly, "Approximately how long does the unlocking take?"
"It'll be done in no time . " Just when Guan Zhong was done speaking, the roots brought the 30-odd rings back to where Huang Tufu had placed them earlier .
Huang Tufu was stunned when he saw that . "That's it?"
"When they're sent back, It means the unlocking is done," Guan Zhong confirmed .
Huang Tufu then extended his arm to pick all of the Emperor's Heart Rings up . He checked them one after another with his Divine Telekinesis .
A moment later, he put away all of the rings into his storage space happily .
Perhaps because there were too many, the rings that Lin Huang wanted to get unlocked took slightly longer . However, the roots sent all the Emperor's Heart Rings back in less than a minute .
Lin Huang picked up all of the Emperor's Heart Rings immediately, but he only checked one . After making sure that it was unlocked, he did not even look at the rest .
Just when he was ready to leave after putting the Emperor's Heart Rings away, Xiao Hei's voice came into his ears . "I sense a Goldfinger in him . It's very powerful!"
"You mean the Emperor's Heart?" Lin Huang peeped at the sphere in surprise .
"That's right . You're not looking at his real form . This is just a part of him . "
"Are you sure it's not a mistake?" Lin Huang secretly panicked . If the Emperor's Heart were a Goldfinger, it would mean there were other travelers behind it .
Lin Huang could not help but put his guard up towards other travelers after learning about the existence of Raiders from Yang Ling .
"It can't be a mistake . If I'm not mistaken, he must've found out about me and the stone tablet by now . "
Lin Huang thought it was too risky to stay all of a sudden . He got Guan Zhong to summon the dimensional portal immediately and stepped into it .
He was finally relieved when the dimensional portal closed .
He had no idea that the sphere made of roots had transformed into a human face after he left via the dimensional portal . The face had complete features and looked like a bearded man .
The bearded man stared at the spot where Lin Huang had just disappeared and mumbled to himself softly, "Why does that kid have two Goldfingers in his body?"
