When Huo Zunbao learned the truth, he felt as if he had been hit on the head with a stick. His whole body went limp and he almost couldn't stand.

He fell onto the sofa, recalling Su Hao's words in his mind.

At this time, the assistant called again. He swiped the answer button with trembling hands: "Go ahead."

"Mr. Huo has found out that the information was indeed sold to Yamamoto Ryuki by a member of XK. The transaction price was 20 million US dollars."

Hearing this, Huo Zunbao felt as if his heart was stabbed with a knife, and the pain made him suffocate.

Gu Xiaotong gradually woke up, and in her daze, Su Hao's face became clearer and clearer.

Gu Xiaotong sat up with a wary look on his face and looked at him, "What happened? Why did I faint?"

"You fainted when you came out of the hotel. You might have drunk that glass of water."

Gu Xiaotong looked at him suspiciously.

He continued to explain: "I suspect our movements have been noticed by Mr. H."

"Who is Mr. H?" Gu Xiaotong had more and more doubts in her mind. After obtaining the information today, she followed Su Hao and handed it over to Yamamoto Ryuki.

But on the way there, Su Hao stopped her from checking the information.

"Tongtong, as a core member, you must know that XK has its own rules. As the second party, you just need to complete the task beautifully and get our commission. As for other things, the more you know, the more harmful it will be to you."

After hearing this, Gu Xiaotong was speechless and didn't know how to respond.

After all, she had completed many similar tasks in the past. At this moment, the doubts that had originally arisen in her heart gradually dissipated after hearing these words.

The Huo couple left the hotel and received a call from their subordinate on the way back to their residence.

On the other end of the phone, the subordinate respectfully reported that the identity information of the owner of the jade seal had been successfully found.

Huo Beishan took the paper containing the key information, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and he immediately ordered someone to contact the other party.

To his surprise, the other party readily agreed to conduct a private transaction with him.

When Mrs. Huo heard the news, her face instantly lit up with excitement, and her voice trembled slightly with excitement: "Are you serious? Did the other party really agree to make a deal with us?"

Huo Beishan nodded calmly, saying firmly, "Yes, to prevent any complications, the transaction will be scheduled for nine o'clock tonight."

"That's great!" Mrs. Huo couldn't wait to tell Huo Zunbao the good news.

When Huo Zunbao received the call, his face was full of disbelief. He felt something was wrong in his heart, but for a moment, he couldn't tell why.

In short, in his opinion, things were going too smoothly, so smoothly that it was almost beyond common sense.

"Then mom and dad, you must be extra careful and stay safe. I will send some people to the transaction location tonight."

Huo Zunbao warned worriedly.

Huo Beishan said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, we have been through so many years, what kind of storms have we not seen? We have our own arrangements for this little thing."

Although Huo Beishan spoke with ease and confidence, Huo Zunbao was still filled with worries and found it difficult to completely put his mind at ease.

As night falls, on the dark sea, a giant cruise ship looks like a moving palace on the sea, emitting a magnificent golden light.

Under the strict escort of a group of tall and stern bodyguards, Huo Beishan and his wife steadily boarded the super luxury cruise ship.

As soon as you step into the cruise ship, you will see the extremely luxurious decoration.

Every detail demonstrates unparalleled dignity and luxury.

At the door, two security guards in black uniforms, nearly 1.9 meters tall, stood straight as pine trees. They extended their arms in white gloves gracefully, making a gesture of invitation, and said in a low and polite voice: "You two, please come this way."

Huo Beishan nodded slightly as a response, then slowly followed the security personnel into the elevator.

Inside the elevator, the lighting is soft and bright, and the exquisite metal decorations inlaid on the walls of the car sparkle under the light.

After a moment, the elevator stopped steadily on the fourth floor.

Huo Beishan and his wife followed the security personnel and walked along a corridor covered with bright red carpet.

On the walls on both sides of the corridor are hung priceless works of art, each of which seems to be telling a unique piece of history.

Their footsteps sounded softly on the soft carpet, as if they were playing a prelude to the upcoming mysterious transaction.

Finally, they arrived at a top-class luxury suite.

The luxurious double doors carved with exquisite patterns slowly opened, making a low and heavy sound.

Inside the suite, luxurious crystal chandeliers cast brilliant light.

In the center of the sofa, Yamamoto Ryuki's stern face appeared in front of the two without warning.

The two looked at each other in disbelief, and then looked at Yamamoto Longqi with questioning eyes. Huo Beishan said coldly: "Why is it you?"

Yamamoto Ryuki took in the unexpected expressions on the two people's faces, and immediately raised a meaningful arc at the corner of his mouth. He raised his hand and pointed to the sofa seat and said, "Dear guests, please take a seat."

Huo Beishan took his wife and walked in the direction he pointed. After sitting down, he stared at Yamamoto Ryuqi with suspicion in his eyes.

At this moment, countless question marks flashed through his mind.

It turns out that the jade seal belonged to Yamamoto Ryuki?

Why was he bidding against himself at the auction to sell his own jade seal?

Was it to raise the price, or did he know some secret that he shouldn't know?

Could it be that he was deliberately luring me out in order to investigate my identity?

Doubts surged into Huo Beishan's mind like a tide, and his expression became more and more serious.

The men behind Yamamoto Ryuki respectfully lit a cigar for him.

Yamamoto Ryuki had a calm expression, took a puff, then looked at Huo Beishan with a smile and said, "Why am I spending a high price on my own things at the auction?"

Huo Beishan's expression changed slightly.

Yamamoto Ryuki continued, "As you thought, it was to lure you out. Hehehe... Mr. Huo, are you curious why I am so interested in luring you out?"

At this point, a very bad premonition arose in Huo Beishan's heart.

Could it be that... this shrewd old fox has already known the story behind "Mandate from Heaven"?

Yamamoto Ryuki's expression confirmed his guess. Yamamoto Ryuki continued, "I heard that Madam Huo is a descendant of the Ming Dynasty royal family?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Beishan and his wife were both stunned.

He actually knew this secret!
