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

"Mr. Ye, shall we talk in the car? There are too many people around on the roadside."

He gave a signal with his eyes, and the driver immediately got out of the car and walked a few meters away to keep watch.

Ye Tian glanced at the open car door and saw that there was no one else inside the SUV except for Zhang Shouren.

He opened the car door and sat down sideways: "Old Zhang, why didn't you come in and find me if you needed anything?"

Or you could call me in advance and I'll come visit you.

As soon as Ye Tian got into the car, he sensed that this car was not ordinary.

The car windows have been modified to be bulletproof, making them look far more ordinary than they appear from the outside.

Moreover, once the car doors are closed, they completely block out the outside noise, providing excellent sound insulation.

"Mr. Ye, I only received the news at the last minute. Time was tight, so I didn't have time to tell you in advance."

I was just thinking of trying my luck outside your company.

Without exchanging pleasantries, Zhang Shouren deftly picked up a bulging brown paper bag from the passenger seat and handed it to Ye Tian.

"Look, someone saw a second jade dancer appear in the ghost market."

I carefully compared the photos, and it is one of the Jade Dancers I'm looking for.

Ye Tian reached out and took the brown paper bag, opened it to look at the photo inside, and it was indeed exactly the same as the jade dancer he had seen last time.

"So, Elder Zhang wants me to accompany you to the Ghost Market to find the Jade Dancer?"

Ye Tian raised his head and looked into Zhang Shouren's unusually bright eyes.

"That's right. I've taken the liberty of visiting you today because I'd like to ask Mr. Ye for a favor. The Ghost Market is dangerous, and having Mr. Ye accompany us would be like adding wings to a tiger."

I've already asked someone to get me a pass to the Ghost Market. Without this, we can't even get through the gates.

Regardless of whether we find Yu Wuren on this trip, I'll give Mr. Ye a reward of 1000 million. How about that?

Zhang Shouren spoke to Ye Tianyan sincerely.

Only then did Ye Tian realize that a pass was required to enter the Ghost Market.

Since Zhang Shouren had already asked someone to get him the pass, it saved him the trouble.

Since that's the case, and he's going to the ghost market anyway, let's travel together.

"Old Zhang, I was just thinking of going to the Ghost Market too, let's go together."

"Very good."

Upon hearing Ye Tian's words, Zhang Shouren immediately burst into laughter.

Zhang Shouren had a firsthand experience of Ye Tian's abilities at the antique market last time.

Those eyes were so striking that even the president of the jade association had to admit defeat.

With Ye Tian traveling with him, he no longer had to worry about being deceived.

"Mr. Ye, what are you looking for at the ghost market?"

"I'm looking for some top-quality jadeite rough stones."

"Among the finest jadeite rough stones, the imperial green of the glass type is already at the very top of the pyramid."

If Mr. Ye is looking for materials even rarer than Imperial Green Glass, then the only options are the legendary Top-Grade Violet Glass or Top-Grade Dragon Stone.

This kind of material is extremely rare and hard to come by.

Zhang Shouren changed the subject: "However, it may be difficult for others to find, but with President Ye taking the lead, there will definitely be no problem."

Because Mr. Ye has a natural talent for jade, hahaha.

"Mr. Ye, it's quite a journey to the Ghost Market. Let's set off now, and I'll tell you about its origins on the way."

Zhang Shouren questioned Ye Tian.

"Alright, Mr. Zhang, you can arrange the itinerary." Ye Tian was relieved, as he didn't have to worry about anything on the road.

Zhang Shouren told the driver to set off immediately towards the ghost market.

"The Ghost Market is located in the old city of Jiangcheng, which was built hundreds of years ago. A major earthquake occurred there, and half of the buildings in the old city of Jiangcheng either collapsed or were buried underground."

The city of Jiangcheng we live in now is a newly built city after that great disaster.

The old town was abandoned because renovation and reconstruction were too difficult.

Given the appalling conditions of the old town, it should be impossible for anyone to live there.

But at some point, people from all over the country, who used to travel and roam, began to gather there, forming a diverse and bustling market.

Zhang Shouren took a sip of water and continued his story.

"That market had no rules, no regulations, and no constraints."

The goods come from all sorts of sources, some from above ground, some from underground, and some from unknown origins, which have been hoarded by collectors for many years and are now being sold.

There are also all sorts of things whose origins are unknown and cannot be exposed to the light of day.

People from all over the country come here to shop for things.

There are speculators who are willing to gamble their lives on a chance to get rich.

There are also people from all walks of life who have plenty of money and want to come here to buy things they can't buy elsewhere.

Zhang Shouren paused, observing that Ye Tian was listening attentively, before continuing:

"I think that with Mr. Ye's abilities, coming to the Ghost Market is the right place for you. This place will not be a disgrace to your abilities."

"Old Zhang, don't flatter me. As you said, there are all kinds of people here, and all kinds of treasures may appear."

But places like this are also the most dangerous, right?

In a place without legal constraints, people would probably do anything for their treasures.

"Mr. Ye is right, the bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish."

Once we arrive at the Ghost Market, we'll focus solely on finding the Jade Dancer and the top-quality jadeite rough you requested. We won't concern ourselves with or ask about anything else.

Ye Tian also felt that Zhang Shouren made sense; when traveling, it's better to avoid trouble.

"Mr. Ye, this is a satellite phone. The terrain of the Ghost City is complicated, so just in case, we should be fully prepared."

Inside were pre-prepared SIM cards that could not be tracked.

The trunk also contains a backpack, a waterproof and durable windbreaker, several quick-drying clothes, a first-aid kit, water, compressed biscuits, a high-powered flashlight, a power bank, etc., which I had prepared.

In the ghost market, where rules are ambiguous, we have to rely on ourselves for everything.

Zhang Shouren was very well prepared; it was clear that he had experience in wilderness survival.

This equipment is enough to last for several days when exploring ancient tombs deep in the mountains.

"Old Zhang is very thoughtful."

Ye Tian admired Old Zhang; he was so old and still had such good energy.

Hearing news of the Jade Dancer in the Ghost Market, I was unafraid of danger and immediately set off to find her.

His love for the Jade Dancer had reached the point of obsession.

Ye Tian looked out the window as the car gradually drove away from the city, onto the highway, then the national road, and finally the provincial road, with the road conditions gradually deteriorating.

The asphalt road turned into a gravel road, and finally into a winding country dirt road.

The view outside the car window gradually changed from bustling to desolate.

Skyscrapers turned into low-rise houses, and then into endless land.

The air is getting drier and the sun is getting harsher.

Old Zhang seemed to have talked too much and was a little tired.

The driver-bodyguard focused intently on driving, remaining silent.

Only occasionally, when a vehicle passed through a cluster of ruins, Old Zhang would point out the window in his slightly deep voice:

"Back in the day, which of these buildings wouldn't have been a magnificent and imposing structure?"

Unfortunately, a major earthquake destroyed it all.

If only it had been kept until now.

Who knows how many treasures are buried beneath those ruins?

"If only I had been born a few hundred years earlier, I could have witnessed its magnificence firsthand."

Ye Tian heard a deep sense of regret from Zhang Shouren.
