Chapter 64: The Shocking Four Digits

"Miss Evelynn, just now you said there is something you need our help, what exactly is it?" Charlton began by steering the conversation down the right path.
"Yes, I forgot all about the most important thing, it's about this letter." I took out the letter and handed it to Charlton, Hunter came close to read it, but seemed to think of something and moved his body slightly away from Charlton, only to make his head poke towards Charlton in a comical manner.
"I received this letter yesterday, of course this is definitely not written by William, with what I know about him, he would not say such things, so this is a conspiracy."
"Miss Evelynn thinks it's a conspiracy by Ambow?" Charlton handed the letter to Hunter and said to me.
"Yes, of course I guess it's a plan by both of them, and although I don't know what they will do, it's a very rare opportunity for us."
"The matter is very simple for us, and they have sent it to us so voluntarily, we must teach them a lesson, and show them that Miss Evelynn is not the forgiving Luna she once was!" Hunter finished reading the letter, folded it, put it in an envelope, and handed it to me.
"Yes, but we need to use this incident to make William suspect that there is an unusual relationship between Ambow and Jason, if someone goes to tell William without anything happening, he will definitely suspect that someone is setting Ambow up, if he is shown the evidence directly and becomes suspicious, this will be very well." I looked at Charlton and Hunter and said.
They both thought for a moment, and Hunter said first, "If they were injured at the same time, would that be considered a piece of evidence?"
"Of course!" I replied.
"That's not enough, if they were injured at the same time, it would only be a coincidence and they would have their own reasons, but if one person was slightly injured but had a lot of blood on him and the other was seriously injured, in that case it would be more than just a coincidence to explain!" Charlton's words got us all excited, and I couldn't agree more with his idea!
We then went to the garden to get ready, Hunter and Charlton took black bags and sticks and hid in the woods nearby, Hunter also took a bag of chicken blood, ready to create the appearance of a lot of blood on Ambow, and I stood on the path waiting for them to arrive.
At exactly seven o'clock, two figures came into the garden, I could see clearly, it was Ambow and Jason, one after the other, Ambow saw me after some surprise and said, "Why are you standing here?"
I did not speak, directly turned towards the depths of the garden and ran, Ambow and Jason were shocked by my behavior, they stood still and did not know what to do, at this time Charlton and Hunter rushed out, put on the bag, hit with a stick, sprinkled chicken blood towards Ambow, a series of actions done very smoothly, I stood at a distance and could not help but praise their skill.
Jason and Ambow did not have time to escape and were pinned to the ground and beaten severely. After it was over Charlton and Hunter gestured to me and the three of us left happily.
When we got back to the room, we finally couldn't help ourselves and laughed so loudly that the sound carried throughout the hall, and I'm sure Ambow and Jason, who were passing by, heard it too!
"Miss Evelynn, they won't just give up, the two of them will surely think of a way to pin the source of this on you, and I'm afraid we need to take ways to deal with it!" Charlton is always so attentive, he always reminds us appropriately when we are so happy that we forget our business.
"But what kind of approach will they take?" Hunter asked the question on my mind.
"We can speculate what we would do if it were us for the current situation." Charlton had a good perspective, and I thought along the lines of that.
"I would get something going on the army to get William's attention! The most important thing right now is the army!" My words made the two men become amused and they applauded my idea.
"Miss Evelynn, then let's prevent it from that angle!" Hunter said with a smile.
Suddenly, the door of the room was pushed open and it was Albert who returned.
We stood up together and greeted him.
"Oh! Mr. Albert, where have you been?" Hunter came forward and asked with concern.
"Out on some errands." Albert was cold and walked right around Hunter, towards me, and placed the items in his hands on the table.
"Miss Evelynn, these are the things you asked me to bring back, Jason's box and the letters Ambow exchanged with the White Nights, this Lord Luna seems to be upset with the White Nights as well, even though Amanda wrote in every letter to burn the letters and not let her leave any evidence, but Ambow never did. "
"Indeed, that helps us, too, and isn't that just as well!" I pulled out a random letter and opened it to read it.
"Ambow, I feel very happy to hear that all is well with you to the Red Night Clan, your family I have arranged for you, I hope all goes well for you, I will communicate with you in this way in the future, of course the letters you have read please remember to be destroyed in time, I do not want you to be suspected by others because of these things. About what you suffered in the white night clan, I have heard Aldrich said, I punished those soldiers, I know that just this is not enough to completely remove the anger in your heart, please rest assured that I will help you, as long as you behave well there, I will be your most solid backing."
"It seems that Ambow still has stories we don't know in the White Nights! I'm afraid Katie doesn't know these things either!"
"Yes, Miss Evelynn, you asked me to scout out the White Nights, I got new information, Ambow was once raped in the White Nights by Alpha Aldrich and his soldiers in turn, this happened just a few days before the negotiations, she was once just a very humble maid, because of her beauty, she was seen by Aldrich, but she was subjected to Luna Amanda's obstructed, then I do not know what is the reason for that happened."
Albert's words made the room instantly quiet, I was incredulous at his words, I never thought Ambow had suffered this in any way, my heart suddenly felt a trace of pity for her, this woman became not so vicious it seems.
"So, how did you find out about this?" I asked.
"I went to the Alpha's barracks, the soldiers there told me, with my strength, it is a very simple thing to mix into the barracks." Albert's words have a little pride in them, I had forgotten that once he was a cheerful person like Hunter!
"That's great! Man!" Hunter patted Albert's shoulder, "If it were me, I wouldn't have been able to pull it off so perfectly!"
"Miss Evelynn would not have given you this job!" Charlton always picks up on Hunter's words.
I wasn't listening to their exchange, my eyes were drawn to the box, which was beautifully crafted and had three locks wrapped around the outside, while the box itself was locked with a combination lock.
Without speaking, Albert handed over three keys, and before I could speak, he said directly, "Found in Jason's room, well kept by him, I think these are the three keys."
We looked at Albert in amazement, but he didn't seem to feel anything wrong about his actions.
He had thought too thoroughly! I admired him from the inside, and I think Hunter and Charlton felt the same way!
As I opened the box, down to the last combination lock, we both stopped what we were doing and looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
"Isn't it his own birthday?" Hunter said first.
"It's a four-digit combination. If it's his birthday, it's too easy to crack!" Charlton continued.
"Or it could be Ambow's birthday! After all, no one but us knows what the two of them have to do with each other." Hunter continued.
"If someone else saw it, it would reveal their relationship, and I don't think Jason is that stupid!" Charlton retorted.
"Could it be William's birthday?" Albert's words made the atmosphere in the room very weird, and the three of us looked at him very suspiciously.
"Why would you think that?" Hunter laughed out loud and said, "That's too weird!"
"Yeah! Something always feels wrong, and I'd rather wish it was my birthday." I thought again about what happened between Hunter and Charlton.
"Well, the only way to find out is to try." Albert continued.
I tried with William's birthday and it didn't work. I breathed a long sigh of relief and heard Hunter and Charlton sigh back, "Thank goodness it's not!"
Then I tried with Jason's, Ambow's, and even Amanda's birthdays, and none of them opened.
Just as we were all getting very worried, Mrs. Josie pushed open the door and came in.
"What's wrong with you guys? Why are you all frowning and seemingly very worried!"
"Madam, this combination lock won't open!" Hunter said with a sappy tone, and Charlton showed an incredulous expression.
Mrs. Josie picked up the box and looked at it for a long time and said happily, "A combination lock of this degree is easy for me!" After saying that, she picked up the box and put it to her ear, dialing the numbers while listening to the sound.
The whole room was frighteningly quiet, and we all held our breath waiting for the result.
"Whew! It's done!"
As Mrs. Josie put the box down, the lid popped up with a "pop".
"Wow!" The four of us made exclamatory sounds together.
I took one look at the four numbers and was so shocked I couldn't close my mouth.
"What's wrong with you, Miss Evelynn." Charlton asked.
"The number, it's Aldrich's birthday!"
"Ah!" Once again, the other four made surprised noises.
"This can't be a coincidence! Maybe it was born on the same day as Aldridge, or on the same day in a different year?" Madame Josie said.
"When I was at the palace, I read a booklet with the birthdays of important people from each clan, and I basically remembered everything on it, just the four digits, I can't be wrong! And all of the five communities, even including the royal family does not have the same birthday as Aldrich!"
"That's definitely the most shocking thing I've heard so far! Could it be that Jason actually likes ......" Hunter looked at the box with wide eyes and covered his mouth.
