"Could it be... that this corpse isn't the Marquis of Champion?" Hua Yingxiong stared at the body in disbelief. "Mr. K is trying to switch the baby with a fake?"

Jiang Yan thought for a moment, then shook his head slightly: "Unless Mr. K is a reincarnation of Zhuge Liang, capable of strategizing flawlessly, it's impossible for him to have prepared this ancient corpse in advance!"

"That's right! Ancient preservation techniques were only in the hands of a few people. Ordinary people were not qualified to do preservation. This corpse should be the Marquis of Champion. As for his weapons and armor..." Hua Yingxiong suddenly thought of a possibility and hurriedly called the funeral home staff.

"Greetings, leaders. My name is Zhang Ke, and I am the person in charge of this funeral home." A middle-aged man entered, bowing and scraping as he spoke to Hua Yingxiong, Jiang Yan, and the others. "Please feel free to ask if there's anything I can do for you. I'll tell you everything I know."

"Then let's talk about this ancient corpse," Hua Yingxiong said in a deep voice.

"Okay, no problem. This body was brought in by Xiao Sun. The client said it died of illness and requested that it be cremated overnight. Since all the paperwork was in order, we had no reason to refuse. But when Xiao Sun was pushing the body to the crematorium, he felt the weight was a bit off, so he opened it to take a look. Oh dear, thank goodness he took a look! This body is clearly an ancient corpse! I was so scared that I called the police immediately!"

"Stop talking nonsense. When this ancient corpse was brought here, did you see any long weapons or armor?" Hua Yingxiong asked in a deep voice. "These are all antiquities. If you dare to keep them..."

Zhang Ke was startled and quickly protested, "Boss, you can't say things like that! We didn't take anything! There was CCTV footage when we brought it here. This body..."

"Wait a minute!" Jiang Yan suddenly remembered something and quickly interrupted him, "Where did you get this corpse from?"

Zhang Ke was taken aback and said, "It was transported from the hospital."

"Which hospital?!" Hua Yingxiong realized what was happening and asked sharply.

"It's Jincheng Hospital, the only top-tier hospital in our city!" Zhang Ke said.

Jiang Yan and Hua Yingxiong exchanged a glance, both feeling a chill run down their spines.

"So, it's still related to Kong Ansheng? Oh no!" Hua Yingxiong quickly took out his phone and called the two people who were staying at the hospital to monitor Kong Ansheng.

Soon, the call connected, and Hua Yingxiong quickly asked a few questions, only to learn that Kong Ansheng showed no signs of running away, but was simply sitting in the smoking room smoking.

"How could this happen?" After hanging up the phone, Hua Yingxiong frowned even more deeply. "If the theft of the Champion Marquis's property is related to Kong Ansheng, why didn't he run away? If it's not related, why is Kong Ansheng involved in every single incident?"

Jiang Yan was also completely baffled. He stared at the handsome features of the champion, Hou Junlang, and then looked down at his undergarments.

This undergarment is definitely from ancient times; it is old, worn, and has an unpleasant odor.

Jiang Yan looked around, and when he saw the button on the undergarment, he suddenly noticed that the button was worn and looked like it had been touched.

and many more! !

At this moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly struck Jiang Yan, giving him goosebumps all over his body!

"What's wrong? Did you find something?" Hua Yingxiong quickly noticed Jiang Yan's unusual behavior.

Jiang Yan did not answer, but instead reached out and quickly unfastened the Champion Marquis's undergarments.

"Why are you taking off his clothes?" Hua Yingxiong asked suspiciously, but his expression quickly changed.

After removing his undergarments, the Champion Marquis's chest was exposed to everyone's view.

Zhang Ke leaned closer for a look and was startled: "Why doesn't this ancient corpse have a heart?"

"It's not that there was no heart, it was peeled off and taken!" Jiang Yan's face trembled slightly as he said, "Mr. K stole the Champion Marquis's body for his...heart?!"

"Heart...heart...Kong Ansheng's grandson has a heart condition! Could it be...he's gone mad?!" Hua Yingxiong's face showed disbelief, and then he quickly took out his phone and called the man who was monitoring Kong Ansheng again.

After the call connected, Hua Yingxiong immediately ordered, "Go check if Kong Ansheng's grandson is still there, and be quick!!"

"It's probably too late." Jiang Yan frowned and said, "Kong Ansheng has been smoking in the smoking room to stall your people so that it will be easier to move his grandson."

"This madman, this madman!" Hua Yingxiong's face turned pale. "He actually transplanted the Champion Marquis's heart into his grandson, he, he..."

"Transplanting the heart of an ancient corpse into a living person..." Upon hearing this, Zhang Ke's face showed horror, and his whole body trembled.

Hero Sword, Hero Courage, and the others were also terrified, feeling that Kong Ansheng was an absolute madman!

"This matter must absolutely not be leaked!" Hua Yingxiong glanced at Zhang Ke, who was trembling all over, and said, "Take him away and have him sign a confidentiality agreement. If it leaks, he'll rot in jail!!"

Zhang Ke jumped in alarm and quickly assured them, "Don't worry, sir, I wouldn't tell even if you killed me!"

Hua Yingxiong didn't believe the guarantee, so he waved his hand, and people from [Hero's Tower] came over and took Zhang Ke away.

Just then, Hua Yingxiong's phone rang. It was the person monitoring Kong Ansheng at the hospital calling: "Chairman, Kong Ansheng's grandson is missing. I asked the doctor, and he said he had a rejection reaction and was urgently transferred by helicopter."

"Rejection reaction? He really had a heart transplant? This madman!!" Although Hua Yingxiong was somewhat prepared, he was still furious upon hearing this and ordered sharply, "Arrest Kong Ansheng immediately!!"

"yes!"

After hanging up the phone, Hua Yingxiong glanced at the Marquis of Champion and said, "Heroic Courage, you personally escort the Marquis of Champion back to his tomb and make sure it is properly sealed!"

"Yes!" Heroic Courage nodded solemnly.

"Jiang Yan, let's go and have another go at that old madman Kong Ansheng!" Hua Yingxiong said coldly.

On the way back to Jincheng Hospital in the SUV, Jiang Yan asked, "President Hua, if Kong Ansheng's grandson survives, what do you plan to do with him?"

Hua Yingxiong frowned deeply: "This is unprecedented, there's no law to follow, but if it's up to me... I'll find another heart, within the bounds of reason and law, and replace the heart that belongs to the Marquis of Champion in his grandson's body!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Awesome!"

He thought Hua Yingxiong would reluctantly admit it.

It seems I underestimated this fierce warrior!

The SUV sped along and soon came to a stop again below Jincheng Hospital.

Arriving at the smoking room on the fifth floor of the inpatient building, amidst the swirling smoke, Jiang Yan and Hua Yingxiong once again saw this white-haired old man with a straight back!

"Kong Ansheng, are you out of your mind?! How dare you transplant the heart of an ancient corpse into your grandson? You're harming your grandson!!" Hua Yingxiong shouted in a low voice.

"It seems you all already know." Kong Ansheng smoked, his aged face partially obscured by the smoke. He spoke slowly, "At first, I also thought this was wrong, but times have changed. These ancient corpses... are they truly inanimate objects? Jiang Yan, didn't you witness the Nanzhao princess's resurrection?"
