Chapter 629 The Great Western King's Treasure

The battle began suddenly and ended just as quickly.

In just five or six minutes, the agents of the Jiangcheng Station Intelligence Section of the Special Service Department had already begun cleaning up the battlefield.

They not only need to treat their own wounded.

We also need to clean up the battlefield traces.

After all our wounded and dead personnel had been evacuated, Ye Shaohong waved his hand, and Li Yunlong picked up a portable gasoline can and began to spray it in the courtyard.

He was accompanied by four or five other people.

After the gasoline had been spilled all over the courtyard, Ye Shaohong flicked his finger and sent a match flying.

"Boom!" Unlike the sound of an explosion, the intense flames that rose instantly after the gasoline was ignited illuminated the entire area.

Under the glow of the blazing fire, Ye Shaohong led his men into a dark corner.

When they reappeared, Ye Shaohong had already arrived at a warehouse at the mouth of the Yangtze River.

George was also tied to the chair.

"Tell me about it."

Why did you want to assassinate Mayor Wang?

Faced with this sensitive figure who was attracting attention from many parties, Ye Shaohong did not directly ask George why he was being hunted down and arrested by various forces.

Instead, he first asked the question that had been bothering him.

George was visibly taken aback by Ye Shaohong's question. Then he smiled.

He smiled easily.

It's as if I've suddenly let go of something I was worried about.

"Injustice!"

"I have heard about Mayor Wang's assassination attempt, but I did not do it."

George's denial was exactly what Ye Shaohong had expected, so he wasn't in a hurry. He simply looked up and glanced at Li Yunlong next to George.

Li Yunlong's actions were also very decisive.

He stepped forward, stood in front of George, and slapped him hard across the face.

There was a crisp sound.

George's head immediately tilted to the side.

When George turned back around, a trickle of crimson blood was already flowing from the corner of his mouth. "George, you're pretty stubborn!"

"Do you think that just because you don't admit it, there's nothing I can do about it?"

"Then I'm afraid you'll be disappointed."

"I have limited patience. If you can't give me a satisfactory answer, you're in for a world of trouble!"

Ye Shaohong suddenly stopped talking, took out a cigarette from his shirt pocket, lit it, and took a deep drag.

As the smoke dissipated, the cold voice rang out again.

I'll give you one more chance!

"Say!"

Why did you send someone to assassinate Mayor Wang?

"I do not have."

"I'm innocent! You can't frame me like this!"

George craned his neck and tilted his head back, still unwilling to admit it. "Ah!"

The moment George cried out in protest, Li Yunlong, who had been standing next to George, moved.

Li Yunlong swung his arm, and a gleaming dagger suddenly appeared.

As Li Yunlong's arm fell, the sharp blade of the dagger had already deeply pierced George's thigh.

The sharp blade came to a stop only after it had become lodged in George's thigh bone.

Li Yunlong still seemed to feel unsatisfied.

He twisted the hand gripping the dagger slightly, and George, who had just suffered a severe injury, threw his head back and let out another painful howl.

"Say or not?"

"If you dare to cause any more trouble, I'll castrate you with the next cut." Li Yunlong's ruthlessness and madness immediately made George, who had just suffered a severe injury, behave himself.

He was initially fearful, glancing at Li Yunlong.

Subsequently.

George then shifted his gaze back to Ye Shaohong.

His gaze revealed a hint of complexity.

After a brief hesitation, George seemed to have figured something out, and then his body went limp.

"I understand."

“You are not Mayor Wang’s people at all.”

“If you were his people, you wouldn’t have asked me that question in the first place.”

"You've also come for the treasure of the Great Western King, haven't you?"

When the soft voice rang out, George looked at Ye Shaohong again, and a hint of contempt was already showing in his eyes.

He looked as if he had completely seen through Ye Shaohong.

This immediately silenced Ye Shaohong.

"The Great Western King's Treasure?"

"Zhang Xianzhong?"

In an instant, all the doubts were resolved.

Ye Shaohong finally understood why George would attempt to assassinate Mayor Wang.

Because of the Great Western King's treasure.

Even now, Ye Shaohong still hasn't figured out the relationship between Mayor Wang and George.

But with the clue of the Great Western King's treasure, it's not hard to guess.

If Ye Shaohong's calculations are correct, George in front of him should possess clues or information about the whereabouts of the Great Western King's treasure.

That's why Mayor Wang took notice of him.

The two of them must have had their share of open and covert rivalries.

Finally, Mayor Wang pushed George to the brink, and George hardened his heart and sent someone to assassinate Mayor Wang.

He has only one purpose.

That is to keep this wealth for myself and take the opportunity to eliminate Mayor Wang, this scourge.

Money moves people's hearts.

Even if Ye Shaohong's guess was slightly off, he believed that the deviation was not significant.

Why was Ye Shaohong able to deduce that the whereabouts of the Great Western King's treasure were in George's hands?

the reason is simple.

If Mayor Wang had control over the whereabouts of the Great Western King's treasure, then the Kong and Chen families, the four major families of the Republic of China, along with the forces they controlled—the Party Affairs Investigation Bureau and the State Administration of Taxation—would not be keeping an eye on George's family.

George no longer needs to hide.

"A stone ox facing a stone drum, worth millions of taels of silver. If someone can decipher this, they can buy it from the city governor's mansion!"

"I never expected that the truth would be like this."

"No wonder Dai Yunong strictly ordered me to stop investigating Mayor Wang's assassination case. It turns out he had already been paying attention to this matter for a long time."

Having uncovered the truth behind Mayor Wang's assassination, Ye Shaohong then recalled Dai Yunong's strange telegram.

Another of his doubts was resolved.

But soon, more doubts arose in Ye Shaohong's mind.

First and foremost, does George truly hold the secret to the Great Western King's treasure?

true or false?

If it's true, then where is the Great Western King's treasure?

How much wealth does this treasure hold?

and also.

Judging from the signs of a life-or-death struggle between George and Mayor Wang, this matter must have been kept very secret.

It is very likely that only George and Mayor Wang knew about it at the time.

Why was the information leaked?

Who leaked it?
