A red and white fluorescent light flickered as a police car was parked in front of an unfinished building. The three members of the Gao family were taken into the car after being reported for tax evasion.

Qin Wuchen had already prepared the evidence. Over the years, he had secretly investigated the Gao family quite a bit. After all, the Gao family was involved in the matter of his adoptive parents, and he had to confirm that Gao Suli was not hiding anything.

The police car's ambient lighting flickered on and off before it disappeared around the street corner.

"Sigh, finally we've gotten rid of these plagues. You can relax a bit from tonight onwards." Tang Zhou watched the police car leave and gently patted Qin Wuchen on the back.

"I hope they will behave themselves."

Qin Wuchen squinted, then bent down and opened the black handbag.

"I was just about to ask, what exactly is this bag of stuff, and why did the man surnamed Gao give it to you?" Tang Zhou leaned down, his eyes full of curiosity.

Clues related to my biological parents.

Qin Wuchen opened his briefcase and found it empty. He only found a green jade pendant in a hidden compartment. The pendant was carved with two koi fish intertwined, so lifelike that they seemed to come alive under the light.

"Wow! The craftsmanship is amazing! It's incredible! I've never seen such a lifelike koi carp before." Tang Zhou stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

Suddenly, Qin Wuchen felt something in his right hand holding the jade pendant, like a stream flowing through his fingertips.

"This thing... is trying to drain my inner energy?!" Qin Wuchen gasped, his brows furrowed, and his eyes narrowed into slits.

He felt that this scene was exactly the same as the underground palace of the Kowloon Society, except that compared with the former, this jade pendant seemed to require a higher level of martial arts skill.

What exactly is this thing? I've traveled all over China and never seen anything like it. And what does this jade pendant have to do with the dragon throne?

Qin Wuchen's mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts.

"Hey? Wuchen, is there only one jade pendant in this black handbag? Is this guy surnamed Gao trying to trick you?" Tang Zhou searched the handbag again and confirmed that there was indeed only one jade pendant inside.

"He only put a jade pendant in such a big handbag; it's obviously a fake to fool people."

"Don't worry," Qin Wuchen stood up, recovering from his thoughts, "I've investigated, and this thing is indeed the only clue. This guy wasn't lying."

Picking up his phone, Qin Wuchen snapped a few photos of the jade pendant, then sent them all to Hong Fan.

"Help me investigate the origin of this jade pendant."

A moment later...

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Also, Lord, the large-scale child abduction case that occurred in Yunhai City twenty years ago, which you asked me to investigate last time, still has no leads and we need to wait a little longer."

"It's alright."

"OK."

Qin Wuchen turned off his phone. He had asked Hong Fan for two things: one was to investigate the jade pendant, which was related to Qin Wuchen's biological parents; the other was the case of his kidnapping twenty years ago, which was related to the dragon bone that Qin Wuchen had lost.

After Qin Wuchen and Tang Zhou waited for a while, an Audi drove into the construction site. Ye San stopped the car and jumped out in a flash.

"You bastard! How dare you offend Mr. Qin! I think you don't want to stay in Yunhai City anymore!" Ye San pulled out his belt and ran angrily toward Xu Qingyang.

Upon seeing this, Xu Qingyang immediately knelt down on the ground with a thud.

"I'm sorry, sir, I never expected to run into Mr. Qin when I took the order."

"Please let me off this time."

"I'll let you off the hook? Let's see if you dare to do it again!"

"Will you dare to do it again?!"

The sound of Ye San's belt cracking echoed for nearly two minutes before he stopped. Ye San's forehead was covered in cold sweat. Afterward, he walked towards Qin Wuchen and knelt down on one knee.

"Mr. Qin, Ye San failed to properly supervise his men. Please punish him!" Ye San gritted his teeth and handed the belt to Qin Wuchen.

Xu Qingyang behind him was clutching his head, trembling on the ground.

"Alright, Ye San, I don't care about this." Qin Wuchen patted him on the shoulder. "But I'm curious, are you guys short of money? Why do you always do these shady things for others?"

Ye San also looked worried and sighed several times, as if he had endless bitterness in his heart.

"Mr. Qin doesn't know that the industries in Yunhai City that can make money have long been divided up by the four major families and Xinghe Group. If we weren't forced to, we wouldn't want to always do dirty work for others and be deadbeats who don't pay back their debts."

Qin Wuchen subconsciously touched his chin, pondered for a moment, and said, "I remember that Canglong Group's main business is building houses, right?"

"Yes... Mr. Qin..." Ye San couldn't figure out what Qin Wuchen was thinking, so he could only raise his head slightly to take a look.

"That's easy, I'll see if I can help you."

Qin Wuchen took out his phone and walked to the side. He made a call and talked for about two minutes. The other three looked on in confusion, staring at Qin Wuchen with bewildered expressions.

"Alright, everything's taken care of." Qin Wuchen put away his phone, walked back to Ye San, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Remember to report to the Jiang family first thing tomorrow morning. My wife has agreed to let you participate in the Dika Amusement Park construction project..."

"Huh?!" Ye San's pupils dilated in shock, and he was momentarily stunned. "The Dika Amusement Park project? You mean that Four Seas Chamber of Commerce project?"

"Of course, would I lie to you?"

Ye San's shock immediately turned into excitement and exhilaration. He quickly pulled Xu Qingyang aside and kowtowed three times before Qin Wuchen, saying, "Mr. Qin's great kindness and virtue will be forever unforgettable for the Canglong Group!"

"Alright, alright, just don't do anything immoral or immoral from tonight onwards."

Qin Wuchen patted the two men on the shoulders and said nothing more. The group then left.

......

The next morning, at the Jiang family home.

The table was laden with a sumptuous breakfast, and Jiang Ru, Zhuang Gubei, and Jiang Hanzhang sat around it.

Jiang Hanzhang looked worried, constantly clutching her hair. In front of her was a price quote for the Dika Amusement Park project.

"Construction costs so much... labor costs so much... design costs so much too, and we need to find the right company for each of these..."

"It seems our initial financial estimates were indeed much lower than anticipated!"

"What should we do now...?"

With a sigh, Jiang Hanzhang slumped onto the table, her eyes vacant, pounding on the table incessantly. She was racking her brains over the cost estimate for the Dika Amusement Park project.

"Daughter, I told you long ago not to buy that inmate such an expensive car. We should save the money. But you wouldn't listen. Now look what's happened!"

Zhuang Gubei's lips drooped down, his face drooping, his heart filled with displeasure.

"Just shut up for a bit. Wuchen has already been criticized for marrying into our family. What's wrong with us buying him a nicer car as a way of repaying him?" Jiang Ru's eyes flashed with displeasure upon hearing this.

"Hmph, if he's afraid of criticism, let him leave sooner rather than later!"

Suddenly, the sound of many car engines came from outside. Jiang Hanzhang turned to the side and saw that countless black cars were neatly parked in front of the villa.

A group of neatly dressed men in black suits came down from above.
