Tomb raiding: It all started with shocking the archaeological team.

"Yan Tianjiu, what excuse do you have now?"

"You also have the right to remain silent until your lawyer arrives, but anything you say next can be used against you in court!"

Yan Wanlei stubbed out his cigarette, his eyes still cold and his expression serious, exuding an aura of complete control.

In fact, the task force never gave up its covert investigation into Yan Tianjiu.

However, during the covert investigation of Yan Tianjiu, some corruption cases were unexpectedly uncovered, so they deliberately created the illusion that the covert investigation against Yan Tianjiu had stopped.

As a result, Yan Tianjiu actually believed that he was really going against the grain and took out his private items to auction during this special period, which allowed the task force to obtain more evidence.

Faced with Yan Wanlei's words, Yan Tianjiu gently placed the documents in his hand on the table, his face ashen, and let out a deep sigh.

The sigh was meaningful and silently implied that Yan Tianjiu had completely resigned himself to his fate and given up on arguing and resisting.

Because Yan Tianjiu was more relaxed than anyone else. With the evidence the task force had, even if he had all the connections and influence, he was completely doomed!

If there's any regret, it's only that they wanted to stay in China too much. If they had transferred their assets and fled abroad immediately after the discovery of the tomb of the King of Gu, they might not have ended up like this.

But it's too late to regret it now.

"Yan Tianjiu, we now have all the evidence against you. I hope you will cooperate with our investigation. Confess and you will be treated leniently; resist and you will be punished severely. If you confess and perform meritorious service, we can consider pleading for leniency on your behalf in court..."

Yan Wanlei then handed Yan Tianjiu a cigarette.

Yan Tianjiu took the cigarette, sighed again, and nodded: "I'll cooperate... I'll cooperate..."

The next day.

News quickly spread that Yan Tianjiu, the richest man in Lingang City and chairman of Jiuding Group, had been taken away by the police for investigation on suspicion of trafficking in cultural relics.

Although no official announcement has been made by the relevant authorities, this news is certainly not unfounded.

It wasn't until that afternoon that the Lingang police issued a statement officially confirming the news. Although the statement was brief, only saying that "the case is still under investigation," it immediately caused a huge uproar in society.

After all, Yan Tianjiu was the richest man in Lingang City with assets worth tens of billions. He was investigated for allegedly trafficking in cultural relics, and he will definitely spend the rest of his life in prison.

However, the most heated discussion in society about the arrest of the richest man was not whether it would affect the economy of Lingang City, nor how many people and industries would be implicated.

The most talked-about point of discussion is that Yan Tianjiu also bought a luxury villa in Longteng Manor, and even bought five units, making him the largest owner in Longteng Manor.

Chen Yibai had previously agreed that settling down in Longteng Manor would ensure a prosperous career and smooth sailing in everything.

That's good. He had just become the largest owner of Longteng Manor, and only ten days later, he was imprisoned!

This isn't some smooth sailing at all; it's just as eerie as before!

Therefore, some envious real estate developers started hiring online trolls to make a big fuss about it.

Immediately, a large number of related news articles appeared online.

For example: "Captain Chen is actually a charlatan who uses his fame to swindle money!"

"The Dragon Soaring Manor of Azure Dragon Peak is actually the biggest scam of the new century!"

"Everyone has been fooled. Captain Chen has no ability to change feng shui at all; he's just a con artist trying to scam money..."

As the hype intensified, there were even cases of homeowners collectively demanding refunds.

Chen Yibai was also very surprised when he saw the news that Yan Tianjiu had been arrested.

Looking back now, Yan Wanlei and Wang Haichuan, whom we saw at the auction, must have been the ones who had been targeting Yan Tianjiu all along.

However, on the other hand, Yan Tianjiu was only arrested now, which just happened to make him a lot of money, so it can be considered that he made the most of his remaining time.

If Yan Tianjiu had fled abroad earlier, or had been arrested as soon as he returned from the Tomb of the King of Gu, I might not have been able to raise billions of yuan in a short time to take over the unfinished building on Canglong Peak and build Tenglong Manor to make tens of billions!

As for the overwhelming online condemnation, some homeowners are even demanding refunds.

Getting a refund is definitely out of the question; one should have a sense of contractual obligation!

Besides, how could I possibly just hand over the billions I've earned?

However, even if there are no refunds, it is still necessary to provide explanations and clarifications to the public.

At 8 PM, Chen Yibai started another live stream.

As soon as the live stream started, millions of people entered the live stream room instantly, just like always.

However, the style of the comments section in this live stream was noticeably different from before.

[Captain Chen, the entire internet is in an uproar right now, everyone's waiting for your explanation...]

[Captain Chen, that feng shui arrangement you mentioned before, it wasn't just a simple marketing ploy, was it? If so, you're truly amazing!]

[Captain Chen, isn't what you're doing a bit unethical? You're making money, but you're ruining your reputation!]

[Host, you'd better check out right now, or you'll regret it!]

Threatening remarks even appeared in the live stream.

Chen Yibai actually believed this, after all, any top tycoon who can afford a 200 million yuan mansion must have some strength and ability.

If the hundreds of homeowners of Longteng Manor were to join forces, they would indeed make countless enemies among the top wealthy families in China.

However, Chen Yibai calmly smiled and explained in the live stream: "My friends, didn't you watch my live stream before? I clearly said in the live stream before that as long as you don't do anything illegal, you can avoid unnecessary disasters!"

"The feng shui of Canglong Peak can ensure smooth sailing in all matters and prosperity in one's career, but it only protects legitimate businesses, not illegal activities!"

There's a saying in Feng Shui: "Feng Shui ensures peace and safety; evil deeds go unpunished, and Heaven punishes without complaint!"

"If you're involved in murder and arson, and living in Dragon Manor guarantees your business success, wouldn't that be like ascending to heaven?"

"Any homeowner living in Longteng Manor can ensure the prosperity of their business through legitimate means, but if they engage in shady dealings, they will immediately face retribution! The chairman of Jiuding Group is a perfect example..."

Chen Yibai's explanation immediately silenced the trolls and haters in the live stream.

Because Chen Yibai's statement was absolutely flawless.

Furthermore, some netizens are strongly supporting it.

[Captain Chen is right. What he means is that top-tier feng shui only protects good people, not bad people!]

[If what Captain Chen is saying is true, then at least half of the top-tier wealthy people who bought Longteng Manor will be going to jail?]

[That's quite possible. It's not that I'm resentful of the rich, but these days, how many top-tier billionaires have a clean record?]

Chen Yibai looked at the comments in the live stream and smiled faintly. Although the statement made a lot of sense, it was none of his business.

I've already made enough money, so I can relax and enjoy the rest of my life.

So Chen Yibai plans to retire from tomb raiding, leave the world of tomb raiding for good, and just livestream when he has nothing to do, and enjoy life to the fullest...

After two hours of live streaming, Chen Yibai thanked everyone and ended the broadcast.

"That's all for now, everyone. Thanks again for your support of Captain Chen! Thank you!"

"May we meet again in the martial world if fate allows!"
