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

"Mr. Ye, Miss Wang, we've arrived."

By the time the speedboat reached the shore, it was completely dark.

This place isn't a brightly lit, bustling port; it's a remote, old wharf.

A few dim streetlights cast long shadows on the broken concrete blocks.

In the distance, the occasional whistle of a cargo ship could be heard, its dull sound piercing through the night.

The salty smell of the sea breeze was mixed with a hint of the damp, earthy smell of the land.

As soon as the speedboat came to a stop, Lynx was the first to leap ashore and warily scanned the area.

The other three stood in front and behind, protecting Ye Tian and Wang Yuyan in the middle, their movements swift and leaving no gaps.

"Mr. Ye, Ms. Wang, please get in the car." Lynx pointed to the only black van parked quietly by the dock.

The car windows were tinted dark, so you couldn't see inside.

The car door slid open, revealing a modified interior with two rows of seats facing each other and a small table in the middle, resembling a mobile office at first glance. However, all the windows were tightly covered by blackout curtains.

Ye Tian and Wang Yuyan were seated in the back row by the window, a position that inherently meant they would be under close surveillance.

Lynx and another member codenamed Hyena sat opposite them, while two others sat on either side of the driver's seat and the passenger seat, forming a perfect encirclement.

Ye Tian and Wang Yuyan walked hand in hand, as sweet as a couple on their honeymoon, completely ignoring the people watching over them.

Once on land, Ye Tian didn't take these guys seriously at all.

"Honey, the baby is hungry. Look, the tummy is bulging."

The food on the ship these past two days has been too bland.

"Okay, let's eat first when we get there," Ye Tian said indulgently.

"Yay, I knew my husband was the best! I wonder what delicious treats the auction host has prepared..."

Amidst Ye Tian and Wang Yuyan's laughter and conversation, the car engine started, and the car smoothly drove away from the dock, merging into the not-so-wide coastal highway.

The bumps transmitted through the seat indicated that the road conditions were not ideal.

Ye Tian leaned back in his chair, chatting and laughing with Wang Yuyan, but his divine sense had already been activated in secret.

He listened to the changing sounds of the wheels rolling over different surfaces, from gravel to asphalt, and then to a dirt road with some potholes.

Feeling the frequency and angle of the turns, I quietly constructed a route map in my mind.

After a while, Wang Yuyan leaned against Ye Tian and took a beautifully printed but somewhat old auction catalog from the car to look through.

The corners of the booklet are worn, so it's obviously not a new item.

Her movements were natural, her fingers gliding over the pages of colorful pictures of jewelry and antiques.

Just as Lynx's gaze briefly shifted towards the car window, seemingly trying to identify a road sign, Wang Yuyan's fingers, which were turning pages, paused almost imperceptibly.

On a page in the middle of the booklet, in the section on "Southeast Asian Folk Jade," there is a very subtle, dark marking.

The hidden markings were only recognized by the Wang family, indicating that the local Wang family's direct lineage already knew of Wang Yuyan's arrival.

The message she secretly sent earlier has already worked.

Wang Yuyan smiled faintly, then casually closed the picture book, her movements fluid and flawless.

The whole process took less than a few seconds.

The vehicle traveled for about forty minutes, gradually slowing down before finally coming to a stop.

"Mr. Ye, Ms. Wang, we've arrived. Please get out of the car." Lynx's voice broke the silence inside the car.

The car door slid open again, revealing a tall, heavy gate with intricate forged ironwork.

On both sides of the gate are high stone walls, and the red lights of surveillance cameras and barbed wire can be vaguely seen on the top of the walls.

There was no sign above the door, only a few inconspicuous bronze characters: "Auction Venue".

Two guards dressed in black suits, with communication earpieces in their ears, stepped forward.

Lynx took out a gold-embossed electronic invitation from his pocket and showed it to the guard.

The guard scanned the quantum code on the invitation with a handheld device and verified the identification documents that Lynx and the others had prepared in advance.

The name and photo on the document have been altered, and the identity is listed as "representative and consultant of a collectors' association in Southeast Asia".

"Welcome, distinguished guests. Please come in." The guard's voice was devoid of emotion, and the heavy iron door slowly opened inward with a deep hydraulic creak.

Behind the door lies a hidden world.

It turned out to be a meticulously maintained private estate.

Neatly trimmed tropical plants, winding stone paths, and soft ground lights lining the way.

The main building in the distance is brightly lit. It is a white building that blends colonial style with modern design, and looks more like a high-end club or a Southeast Asian-style art museum.

However, Ye Tian could sense that countless cold cameras were hidden in the seemingly elegant and tranquil light and plant shadows.

Led by a butler in a tuxedo with a professional smile, they passed through the forecourt and entered the main building.

The interior is luxurious yet understated, with a subtle aroma of sandalwood and cigars filling the air.

The butler led them to a spacious preview hall on the second floor.

There are already quite a few people here.

The men mostly wore tailored suits or traditional clothing, while the women were adorned with jewelry, their elegant attire and graceful bearing a striking contrast.

But upon closer inspection, everyone's eyes were not relaxed; they were wary as they sized each other up, and their smiles were mostly superficial.

The conversation was conducted in hushed tones, like a group of people tacitly sharing the boundaries of a cage.

Display cases are arranged along the walls and in the central area, showcasing some of tonight's auction items:

Jadeite rough stones with rich, deep colors; dazzling colored diamonds; ancient-style bronzes; and Song Dynasty porcelain with warm, lustrous glazes…

Each item is quite valuable and is covered by transparent bulletproof glass, with a brief description plaque below.

"Look around freely, but don't have any real conversations with anyone. Focus on what you're looking for."

"Report any findings immediately," Lynx said to Ye Tian in a low voice.

Ye Tian nodded casually, his gaze slowly sweeping over the display cases.

His X-ray vision is already stirring in his eyes.

Wang Yuyan said softly, "I'm going to the restroom."

Lynx glanced at the female team member codenamed Scorpion, who nodded slightly and followed Wang Yuyan.

The restrooms are also tastefully decorated.

After Wang Yuyan went inside, Scorpion stood guard at the door, like a silent statue.

Wang Yuyan walked to the sink, turned on the tap, and, under the cover of the running water, took out a lipstick from her handbag.

She quickly wrote down a string of coordinates that only the Wang family could understand, along with four words: "Need assistance" on a tissue she had pulled out.

After she finished writing, she crumpled the tissue into a ball and held it in her palm.

She needs to find an opportunity to communicate this.

However, when she finished washing her hands and opened the door, Scorpion immediately stepped forward, his gaze falling on her hands.

"Tissues," Scorpion said succinctly.

Wang Yuyan felt a chill run down her spine, but a hint of displeasure at being offended showed on her face.

If the plea for help on the tissue is discovered, it will be even more difficult to find another opportunity to ask for help in the future.

They might send even more people to monitor Ye Tian and her 24/7.

It will be even more difficult for them to shake off these people and slip away after the auction ends.

Just as Wang Yuyan was struggling with what to do with the marked tissue in her hand...

A familiar voice sounded from behind her: "Honey, what's wrong? Who's so bold as to upset you?"

Ye Tian casually put one arm around Wang Yuyan's soft waist and held her small hand holding the tissue with the other.

Why not just throw away the tissues after wiping your hands?

"Honey, you must have forgotten. Let me help you."

Ye Tian took the wad of tissues, looked at the scorpion, and his eyes suddenly turned cold:

"You want to see the tissues my woman used?"

"boom!"

Just as the scorpion reached out to grab it, the tissue suddenly burst into a strange flame in front of it.

Scorpion's pupils dilated suddenly, and she quickly withdrew her hand. Even so, the gloves she was wearing had been burned through.

The excruciating pain in her hands caused her to break out in a cold sweat.

She knew that if she hadn't reacted quickly enough, she would have turned to ashes like that wad of tissue paper!

This man really dared to kill her!

"If you dare to disrespect my woman again, you'll die!"

I want to kill you, even Jesus couldn't stop me. Do you remember what I said?

Ye Tian suddenly unleashed a bone-chilling cold.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ye, it was just my job. I'll definitely be more careful next time!"

Under Ye Tian's terrifying pressure, the scorpion trembled uncontrollably.

The fear that rose from the depths of her soul made her realize for the first time just how powerful Ye Tian was.

They are even stronger than their most powerful commander.

"Let's go get something to eat first, then head to the auction."

Weren't you already hungry?

Ye Tian didn't look at the scorpion again, and walked away with Wang Yuyan in his arms.
