After awakening her X-ray vision, the beautiful CEO couldn't sit still any longer.

At this moment, Murong Xue, radiant and breathtakingly beautiful, walked in from outside, carrying two cups of coffee.

Her gaze instantly fell on Ye Tian, ​​who was squatting on the ground, and the conspicuous gray box.

"Huh, what's this?" she asked, frowning, her voice tinged with wariness.

Ye Tian slowly stood up, standing between the box and Murong Xue, his expression solemn.

He raised his head, looked at Murong Xue, and said in a low voice:

"I don't know, but it should be related to me."

The secret of that ore may be more complex than we imagine.

Murong Xue paused slightly in her coffee cup, the steam rising in front of her as a hazy mist appeared.

Her gaze passed over Ye Tian's shoulder and landed on the dark gray sealed box.

The turmoil at last night's meeting, the board's pressure this morning, and the sudden appearance of the unidentified object made her temples throb.

"Let's go inside and talk."

After Murong Xue entered the room, Ye Tian quickly took the box inside and closed the door.

The two walked to the encrypted computer, and Ye Tian accessed the highest-level internal communication line and dialed Wang Yuyan's exclusive channel.

"I saw it." Wang Yuyan's voice came through, faster than usual, with a faint sound of data flowing in the background.

"Honey, that bronze seal in your box is bait; the real target is me."

Ye Tian raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean?"

Wang Yuyan opened a video call, turned around and quickly took out a shockproof suitcase from another encrypted cabinet.

She entered the password, the lid popped open, revealing a miniature model of an old ship's anchor, about the size of a palm.

The material is neither gold nor wood, and the surface is covered with dark brown, mottled marks that resemble a mixture of dried sea salt and rust.

The anchor has a rugged design, reminiscent of medieval ships, while the anchor chain is coiled into a complex knot.

Most notably, on the flat surface of the anchor base, are two lines of numbers that are almost blending into the rust: one set of coordinates for latitude and the other for longitude.

"This was delivered to me by a mysterious person today."

Wang Yuyan's voice, coming through the speaker, carried an unusual solemnity.

"This coordinate point is in international waters."

The Wang family's secret records state that this location is said to be called the Burial Treasure Abyss.

It was a well-known shipping route during World War II, and there are rumors that at least seven treasure-hunting fleets or secret transport ships went missing there.

What's baffling is that there were no remains, no survivors.

Meteorological records show that the region is experiencing unusually active storms, abnormal magnetic fields, and complex sea conditions.

Murong Xue walked in front of the camera, her gaze fixed on the cold, impersonal anchor model.

"What do they mean? Do they want us to go and die?"

Why should we listen to them and go there?

"Husband, Mingyue said that the only road leading to that abandoned mine in the Ten Thousand Mountains is suspected to have been deliberately destroyed."

It would take at least ten days to half a month for that road to be repaired.

Moreover, since it is man-made, even if it is repaired, no one can guarantee that the road ahead will be completely unobstructed.

If you want to get to that mine as soon as possible, there is only one way now: go around it by sea.

I calculated the time; it would take at most five days by sea to get around to the vicinity of that mountain range.

However, taking the shortcut by sea requires crossing the dangerous Burial Treasure Abyss.

Wang Yuyan's words made it very clear.

Someone deliberately blew up the road in the Ten Thousand Mountains, forcing Ye Tian to either give up going to that abandoned mining area or take that deadly road at sea.

"You think I'd give up going to that abandoned mine? No way."

So what if it's the Treasure Burial Abyss with its abnormal climate? Even if it's the eighteenth level of hell, I'm determined to conquer it!

Where I want to go, even the King of Heaven himself can't stop me!

Ye Tian's eyes flashed with a chilling light.

"Ye Tian, ​​don't be impulsive, that place is too dangerous."

What if something goes wrong?

You just helped me get to the bottom of things regarding the Murong Group.

I still need your help in many areas.

How could Murong Xue just stand by and watch Ye Tian walk into a death trap that someone else had dug?

Moreover, that place is notoriously dangerous.

"Xue'er, don't worry, no one in this world can hurt me."

All schemes and tricks are utterly insignificant in the face of absolute power!

After comforting Murong Xue, Ye Tian asked Wang Yuyan again:

"What other records does the Wang family have regarding the burial of Baoyuan?"

"I compared it with the fragment of the family's highest-level special item blueprint."

The old legends of Zangbaoyuan mention that a fishing boat once salvaged a black stone containing a flowing halo.

The characteristics are 40% similar to the rough stone samples we have.

Furthermore, the earliest recorded information about Zangbaoyuan is all related to the mysterious disappearance of ships.

That land-based mineral vein and this underwater treasure trove might have some connection that we are unaware of.

Upon hearing this, the clues in Ye Tian's mind suddenly connected:

"Destroy my path forward, see the raw stone sample at the Yuntao Pavilion exchange meeting, then give me a token and a model of a sailboat with sea coordinates."

They just wanted to see if I dared to go to the Burial Treasure Abyss, the land of death, or if I would be scared away.

If I'm scared off, I'll never go looking for that abandoned mine again.

These people really think Zang Baoyuan can scare me? How laughable.

Murong Xue's face appeared exceptionally pale under the cold light of the encrypted screen.

She walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, turned her back to the room, and looked down at the brightly lit but cold and indifferent city below.

"The board has 67 hours remaining."

Her voice sounded somewhat hollow as it was reflected off the glass.

"If I leave with you now and go to the high seas where even the coordinates exude an aura of death."

Huanyu Deep Mining and those people in the company who want to oust me will immediately tear down all the defenses we've left behind.

Without your explanation and supplementary details, that risk report would be far less effective; Rongrong couldn't handle it alone.

"Xue'er, you and Rongrong stay here and use the report to intimidate the board of directors."

The key to the report lies in the potential associated risks. I don't need to confront them on the spot; I just need it to serve as a sword hanging over the heads of those old directors.

All you need to do is prove that with the support of Murong Xue, the group's future is bright;

To turn to the deepest mines of the world is to choose to board a ship with a tainted history, one that may run aground at any moment.

Ye Tian walked up behind Murong Xue, his voice low but clear.

He gazed at Murong Xue's stunning reflection in the glass and continued:

"It's enough for me and Yuyan to go together."

Once I figure out what's beneath that abandoned mine vein.

What I bring back will be a real opportunity that will take the entire Murong Group to the next level.

"By then, let's see who on your board of directors will dare to cause you trouble."

Murong Xue did not turn around.

On the glass, her beautiful eyelashes trembled slightly.

"Are you willing to gamble your life on a chance for me to turn the tables?"

"It's about risking my life for a chance for both of us to survive and climb even higher," Ye Tian corrected with a smile.

"Will the Wang family agree to let Wang Yuyan go on an adventure with you?" Murong Xue finally asked.

"Yu Yan insisted on going herself. With that girl's temper, who can stop her?"

With Old Mrs. Wang not here, who else would dare to interfere with her?

"Rather than letting her secretly follow me and risk her life, I'd rather take her with me directly, so we can have someone to look after us," Ye Tian replied with a smile.

Murong Xue slowly turned around. Her eyes had regained their calm and composed expression, but beneath the surface lay a surging love.

"What else do you need?"

"A ship that can withstand wind and waves, is inconspicuous, and has sufficient self-sufficiency."

Reliable logistical and intelligence support, especially the latest hydrological and meteorological information about that sea area.

And monitoring records of any possible unusual activity. Also, sufficient equipment to handle emergencies, and contingency plans in case of loss of contact.

Ye Tian listed the items, "The Wang family should be able to handle most of these."

But doesn't the Murong Group have several cooperative exploration bases overseas?

Using a marine resource survey as a cover would be safer.

Murong Xue walked to the table and picked up a secure telephone.

"I'll arrange the boats and basic cover."

"Equipment and detailed intelligence, contact the royal family."

She gave Ye Tian a deep look. "You must reach that coordinate within five days."

If I still haven't heard from you in five days, I will mobilize all the resources of the Murong family to find you.

Promise me you'll come back alive.

"I promise you, I will definitely come back safe and sound." Ye Tian looked at the beautiful woman and nodded solemnly.
