"Xiao Hai Snake, the guy surnamed Chen has already headed out of the auction house. You can prepare to make your move!"

"Remember, we absolutely cannot fail. If this guy escapes, neither of us will be spared—and I don't want him to ever see the sun rise again!"

Zhao Qitong's eyes were filled with a frenzied killing intent.

"Don't worry, now that I've decided to take action against him, I'll naturally arrange everything."

"I can tell you definitively that even if that guy surnamed Chen had three heads and six arms, he definitely wouldn't survive tonight!"

On the other end of the phone came Xiao Haishe's extremely arrogant and confident voice.

"I hope you keep your word. If he escapes, it will be your death day!"

Thinking about how he had almost been strangled to death by Chen Yun, Zhao Qitong couldn't help but give him another word of advice.

"Kill me? Ha! I have tens of thousands of men under my command. Each of them could drown that Chen guy with a single spit. He thinks he's worthy of killing me?"

"What... judging from Young Master Zhao's tone, could it be that you're scared?"

Xiao Hai laughed heartily, his tone filled with sarcasm and contempt.

"Stop talking nonsense. Do you think I'm afraid of him?"

"I'm just trying to be helpful, afraid you'll get too confident and end up making a mess of things."

In short, it's best to be cautious in everything.

After saying that, Zhao Qitong hung up the phone and stared coldly at the doorway.

......

Outside the auction house, in a black minivan.

"Sir, you've been staring at this bronze fragment for quite some time now."

"What secrets is hidden in this thing?"

Nangong Qing asked with a curious expression.

Chen Yun did not answer directly, but instead glanced at the driver's seat.

Nangong Qing immediately understood and quickly said, "Uncle Yue is the driver that my grandfather arranged for me. He has been in our Nangong family for more than ten years and is absolutely trustworthy."

Chen Yun nodded, his gaze refocusing on the bronze fragment: "So far, I haven't discovered any use for this fragment. But I can confirm one thing: this bronze fragment is a spiritual treasure!"

"A magical treasure? Then we've hit the jackpot this time!!"

Nangong Qing stared in shock, her eyes wide.

Spiritual treasures are even more precious and rarer than spiritual herbs!

The Jade Ginseng sold for a whopping 300 million, but they only spent 3 million to buy such an even more precious spiritual treasure!

This deal is absolutely amazing!

"Don't be too happy yet. Although this thing is a spiritual treasure, it is incomplete."

Chen Yun suddenly poured cold water on the idea.

"Incomplete? You mean this bronze fragment is actually only a part of the complete spiritual treasure?"

Nangong Qing was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly realized: "That's true. If it were a complete spiritual treasure, we probably wouldn't have had the chance to snag one."

“That’s right. It’s precisely because it’s incomplete that it has never been discovered. Even I find it difficult to sense the spirituality that exists on it.”

"However, due to its incompleteness, this magical artifact cannot currently perform any other functions. Apart from its ability to automatically heal itself, which is rather useless, I haven't discovered any other uses yet."

Chen Yun shook his head in disappointment.

"Sir, if we could find the other parts of this magical artifact, would it be possible to repair it?"

Nangong Qing asked, clinging to a sliver of hope.

This is a magical treasure!!

If it can be repaired, it will become a priceless treasure, and people are eagerly anticipating just how powerful it will be.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Yun replied, "Theoretically speaking, that is true, but we currently have no other information about this magical treasure. Finding the other parts would be like looking for a needle in a haystack."

"At present, the most urgent task is to find the jade ginseng as soon as possible!"

"Sir, why don't we go back now, arrest Wang Lei, and get some answers?" Nangong Qing suggested.

Chen Yun shook his head: "Wang Lei would never tell. Even if you threaten him with his life now, he would never reveal the whereabouts of the Jade Ginseng."

"Because he knows very well what kind of need we have for the jade ginseng—he will hold onto this point tightly, betting that we will not kill him—if we kill him, the jade ginseng supply will be completely cut off."

"So going back now would only alert the enemy."

"I have a feeling that Wang Lei's transfer of Bao Yu Huoshen was not just for money; he will definitely have other plans."

"Have someone keep a close eye on him; sooner or later they'll find a weakness in him."

"Sir, you are wise!"

Nangong Qing quickly figured out the pros and cons.

It must be admitted that Chen Yun's idea was correct.

If he were Wang Lei, the more people pressed him for the whereabouts of the Jade Ginseng, the less likely he would be to reveal it—as long as he held onto this secret, nothing bad would happen.

Chen Yun was certain that Wang Lei would take further action because of the cloaked man.

Although the other party escaped with the jade ginseng, they had already been severely injured by Chen Yun.

He will definitely ask Wang Lei for help again. As long as we keep an eye on Wang Lei, we will be able to find a weakness later.

"I'll definitely arrange all of these things, but there's still one small matter..."

Nangong Qing suddenly started stammering.

"Just tell me what it is," Chen Yun said calmly.

“You just had a conflict with Zhao Qitong, and Wang Lei has ulterior motives. If you continue to stay in the hotel, it may not be safe.”

“I also have a villa in Yunhang. Why don’t you move into my villa for the time being and we can make further plans later?”

Nangong Qing suggested.

Given Zhao Qitong's vindictive nature, he would surely find a way to continue causing trouble for Chen Yun.

Chen Yun shook his head: "No. If I suddenly move out of the hotel, it will inevitably arouse Wang Lei's suspicion. We must get the jade ginseng as soon as possible. The longer we delay, the more likely something unexpected will happen."

"All right......"

Nangong Qing sighed deeply.

Indeed, we must not alert them now.

Wang Lei is unaware that Chen Yun has discovered the switch of the ginseng, and leaving the hotel directly would indeed arouse his suspicion.

"Second Young Master, there's a car following us. Something's wrong with it!"

Uncle Yue, who was in the driver's seat, suddenly spoke up.

Nangong Qing glanced back and, sure enough, found a white minivan following closely behind. The vehicle maintained a distance of about fifty meters, seemingly driving casually, but it did not escape Uncle Yue's shrewd eyes.

This veteran driver, who had been working for the Nangong family for over ten years, had a keen sense for surveillance.

Nangong Qing's face darkened, and he said coldly, "Uncle Yue, find a chance to shake off that car behind us!"

He had just been warning Chen Yun to be careful, but little did he know that he himself was already being watched.

That's a real slap in the face!
