He's alone, but he's a tomb raider!

"The Qianlong Emperor's tomb... to be honest, I'm really interested in it!"

"In that case, it's settled."

To wish Brother Qin a successful mission, I, this old woman, would like to raise a glass!

She wasn't arrogant at all, or rather, faced with an absolute difference in strength, Guan Shihua didn't dare to act like a senior.

……

For the next few days, Qin Yun and Liu Yanyan stayed in the Northeast region.

Guan Shihua extended the utmost hospitality, not only allowing the two to fully enjoy the complete three-day, six-banquet authentic Manchu-Han Imperial Feast, but also to sample all the rare delicacies from the Qing Dynasty imperial palace.

Afterwards, he specially arranged for the Deng brothers, Youfu and Youcai, to accompany Qin Yun throughout the trip and take him to visit the local attractions.

After all, we're already here!

Moreover, unlike the special forces-style travel in his previous life where funds were limited, after achieving financial freedom, Qin Yun no longer needed to pursue efficiency and could instead leisurely stroll around.

To say that money can't buy time, Qin Yun can only say that this is pure manipulation by experts!

Moreover, it's not just about playing games; there's a deeper meaning behind Guan Shihua's actions.

On the surface, it was a sightseeing trip and entertaining distinguished guests, but in reality, it was paving the way for the Ma family's descendants and building good relationships.

Leaving aside the entire circle of extraordinary people in Northeast China, at least 30% of the younger generation of the Ma family got to know Qin Yun during this process.

Even if Guan Shihua hadn't explicitly told them, these people already knew.

This unusually young man is someone that even the Ten Elders need to personally befriend.

Furthermore, whether the Ma family of Northeast China can expand into the interior of China in the future depends on Qin Yun.

With such considerations in mind, how could one not do their best?

During the brief respite, Qin Yun also completed the handover of the treasures he had previously retrieved from the Kwantung Army fortress.

Apart from the two unique silver dollars he had kept for himself, all the gold bars and ordinary silver dollars were counted and handed over to the Deng brothers and Gao Lian.

As a businessman, Qin Yun is quite honest in this regard.

A few days of leisure passed in the blink of an eye.

On the day of departure, Guan Shihua, Deng Youfu, Deng Youcai, and even Gao Lian, the head of the Northeast region, secretly slipped out to personally see them off at Shengjing Airport.

The autumn wind was biting outside the pass, and the sky was high and the clouds were wide.

Because of the luxury cars they were riding in, the group attracted the attention of many passengers boarding the plane as they stood in front of the airport.

Especially after seeing Deng Youcai sell the gold and immediately buy a new Land Rover, along with its somewhat domineering license plate, they couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

These are definitely local weapons!

Seeing that it was almost time, Deng Youcai, who had a more carefree personality, spoke up with a smile.

"Brother Qin, and Miss Liu, let me tell you, the scenery in Northeast China in autumn is just some peripheral views, not really that beautiful."

You absolutely must come back for a visit this winter! I'll make sure everything is perfectly arranged for you!

Deng Youcai's eyes held the unique enthusiasm and pride of a Northeasterner.

"Harbin in winter is a true people-pleasing place!"

Ice sculptures and snow sculptures, rime ice rivers, and a vast ice world—to put it bluntly, they practically want to drag out the black dragon lurking at the bottom of the Heilongjiang River for tourists to stroll around in.

This kind of stunning snowscape is something only you southerners can see. I've grown up here and I've never seen anything like it before!

"And also, I'll arrange for you to have chicken stew with mushrooms, and everything coated in rock sugar, too!"

This guy!

Hearing his brother's rough invitation, Deng Youfu couldn't help but rub his forehead.

However, having grown accustomed to hypocrisy and feigned sophistication, I've come to accept this.

Qin Yun quite admired Deng Youcai's kind-hearted and simple-minded nature.

Not only Qin Yun himself, but Liu Yanyan was also captivated by the story and nodded repeatedly in agreement to come back in winter.

After chatting and laughing for a while, it was time to board the plane.

Gao Lian deliberately slowed his pace, falling half a step behind the Deng brothers. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, he approached Qin Yun and whispered a reminder.

"Brother Qin, there's something I need to tell you beforehand."

"Your killing of zombies during this trip to Northeast China is indeed not a big deal. In fact, as long as you are not caught red-handed, even your business company cannot interfere."

However, the company headquarters had some reservations about Hirumaru's demon sword.

During a previous online meeting, a board member even declared that they would capture you and retrieve the demon sword Hirumaru.

Although Chairman Zhao ultimately rejected the proposal, it's foreseeable that once you return, the North China region will deliberately create trouble and cause you problems!

Is it because I've delayed the company's business dealings with the Japanese that they're starting to dislike me?

I'm really sorry!

Sorry, I'll do it again next time!

"High-level director, which director proposed the forced acquisition? You don't need to give me the name, just the surname."

Gao Lian: "..."

"Apart from Chairman Zhao, almost everyone acquiesced!"

It's one thing for Bi Youlong to come from a top-tier background, but I never expected that even that coward Huang Boren would dare to get involved.

Fortunately, while the company headquarters was a bit of a mess, the heads of the various regions were quite competent.

Neither Xu Si, who knows what's important and what's urgent, nor Gao Lian, whom I've been in contact with recently, are as disgusting as I'd like.

Let's be patient for now. Once we have a solid team, we might be able to replace all the top executives in the company!

Qin Yun: "Gao Qu, what's your opinion on this matter?"

"My advice is to stay away from North China as much as possible if you can, and delay it as long as you can."

Gao Lian paused for a moment, his tone firm and full of confidence.

"If you really can't stand it, then come directly to Northeast China."

"I may not have many other skills, but I do have the ability to protect you!"

"I'll go back and check first. If things really can't be salvaged, then I'll have to trouble the High District!"

"Hey, buddies!"

Gao Lian doesn't show his strength, and some people really think he's a pushover.

Don't they realize that as Erzhuang's father, Gao Lian controls the cybersecurity of the entire supernatural world, and even parts of the ordinary world!

As long as Erzhuang is still around, even headquarters won't dare to give Gao Lian a hard time.

Otherwise, if cybersecurity is compromised, not only will Bi Youlong and Huang Boren be in trouble, but Zhao Fangxu will also likely face severe consequences!

"After all, they shared the spoils together; they're definitely good friends."

It seems we need to put some pressure on Lü Liang. Once he awakens his dual-wielding skills, we should hurry and treat Er Zhuang.

"To avoid accidentally ruining Erzhuang's body again with Qu Tong!"

……

After bidding farewell to everyone, Qin Yun took Liu Yanyan and boarded the plane back to Tianjin.

Upon arriving at the Silent House, the bustling, everyday atmosphere is immediately apparent, a stark contrast to the somber atmosphere of the deep mountains of Northeast China and the opulence of the royal estate.

I just took a shower and rested for a bit.

To avoid any unforeseen complications, Qin Yun immediately dialed Feng Xingtong's number.

The call connected, and Qin Yun got straight to the point.

"Xing Tong, I've found the Northern Song Dynasty Ru ware you wanted."

There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone, followed by Feng Xingtong's barely concealed elation and excitement, her voice trembling slightly.

"Really?!"

Brother Qin, you're truly like a brother to me!

Upon hearing the sound, Feng Shayan immediately leaned closer to the phone, her breathing suddenly becoming rapid.

The siblings from the World Society had been searching for days, even visiting the Ancient-Absorbing Pavilion in Kyoto and the Crescent Moon Hotel, but Qin Yun had managed to find this top-tier treasure in such a short time.
