Faced with life and death, Ke Wu no longer hesitated.

He gritted his teeth, gripped the short knife tightly in his hand, and his eyes hardened.

He had to do it to survive!

puff!

With a single stroke, the wound was sealed shut.

After doing all this, Ke Wu's hands were trembling, and his back was completely soaked with cold sweat.

He dared not look at the corpse on the ground for long, and hurriedly and carefully gathered all the priceless jade stones that were perfectly packaged on the table.

It was pushed respectfully in front of Lin Yuan, with the utmost humility.

"Big...Big Brother, I'm returning everything to you, not a single item is missing!"

At this moment, he was nowhere to be seen as the imposing figure he once was as the Fifth Master of the Black Market.

He had been beaten into submission and paralyzed with fear in front of Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan's gaze swept lightly over the intact raw stone, his expression remaining cold and calm.

He didn't even glance at the corpse on the ground, and casually gave the order.

"The site has been cleaned up."

"Erase all traces tonight."

"I don't want the outside world to hear a single word about it."

These two short sentences carried an undeniable authority.

Ke Wu nodded rapidly and quickly agreed.

"I understand! I understand!"

"I'll handle it immediately! Leave absolutely no trace! Nothing happened tonight!"

He knew it perfectly well.

What happened today is the biggest taboo of his life.

Anyone who dares to divulge even a single word will face certain death.

Lin Yuan said no more, bent down and casually picked up the whole bag of jade.

Without even glancing at the three still-shaken individuals, he turned and walked straight out of the private room.

The door closed gently.

Lin Yuan's footsteps disappeared at the end of the corridor.

A nerve stretched to its limit snaps in an instant!

thump!

Ke Wu's legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground.

He was completely exhausted and panting heavily.

Cold sweat dripped down his chin, and his whole body was already ice-cold and stiff.

The two henchmen beside him were so frightened that their legs spun around, their faces turned ashen, and they couldn't even stand up straight.

Those few short minutes were more terrifying than walking through the gates of hell.

That young man was absolutely terrifying!

He is ruthless and decisive, with a deep mind and methods so cruel they send chills down your spine.

Not only are they incredibly skilled, but their minds are also extremely meticulous.

He was used to kill, to bind everyone's secret.

From beginning to end, every step was meticulously planned and flawless!

Ke Wu collapsed to the ground, unable to recover for a long time.

He had been involved in the black market for decades and had seen countless ruthless people and big shots.

But today, he truly witnessed what a real ruthless character was.

"remember!"

After a long silence, Ke Wu spoke in a hoarse voice to his two subordinates.

"What happened tonight, keep it to yourself!"

"Anyone who dares to utter a single extra word, I'll kill them first!"

The two henchmen trembled and nodded frantically.

Tonight at a teahouse in Kunming.

A bloody incident unknown to anyone was completely buried.

Lin Yuan, who left with the priceless jade, remained calm and composed.

The trouble for tonight has been resolved.

The night was slightly cool, and a gentle breeze caressed my face.

Lin Yuan carried the heavy package of raw stones in one hand and walked out of the riverside teahouse with a leisurely gait.

The bloody and oppressive private room behind them had long been completely shut out.

Ke Wu should be able to cover up all traces. Tonight's black market turmoil is destined to be silent and unknown to anyone.

They walked in silence, and in just a few minutes, Lin Yuan returned to the hotel where he was staying.

I swiped my card to go upstairs and pushed open the door.

Inside the room, Zhou Chen and Shen Wei were sitting pacing anxiously, their faces full of worry.

From the moment Lin Yuan went out alone to chase after someone, a heavy weight had been hanging over both of them.

Outside was an unfamiliar city, and it was late at night. The other party was a desperate criminal who dared to break into homes and drug people.

They were terrified that something might happen to Lin Yuan, and they kept glancing at the door every few seconds, extremely nervous.

Seeing Lin Yuan return safely, carrying a perfectly intact jade package in his hand.

The two of them instantly breathed a long sigh of relief, their hearts finally at ease.

"Lin Yuan! You're finally back!"

Zhou Chen quickly got up to greet him, his face full of excitement.

His gaze swept over the intact raw stone, and he was overjoyed.

"The jade has been found! That's wonderful!"

Shen Wei, who was standing to the side, also stood up quickly, his face full of guilt and lingering fear.

He was in charge of guarding the goods tonight, but he was drugged and lost the priceless raw stone without anyone noticing.

Not only did they fail to fulfill their guarding role, they almost caused a major disaster.

If this batch of jade is truly lost, he will have no way to explain it to the Zhou family and Lin Yuan.

Shen Wei looked ashamed and spoke in a low voice.

"Mr. Lin, I'm sorry, it was my carelessness and my dereliction of duty."

Lin Yuan waved his hand calmly, his expression serene.

"It's not your fault. The other party's methods are insidious and difficult to guard against."

Ordinary people simply cannot withstand this kind of specially made drug, so it's perfectly normal for Shen Wei to fall for it.

He placed the raw stone steadily in the corner and rearranged it neatly.

He remained calm throughout, as if the bloody confrontation and life-or-death struggle he had just experienced were nothing more than a trivial matter.

Looking at his calm and composed demeanor, Zhou Chen admired him even more.

He couldn't even imagine what Lin Yuan had gone through during the time he was away alone.

All that is known is that Lin Yuan single-handedly and silently resolved all the crises.

"Where are they? What happened to the thieves?" Zhou Chen couldn't help but ask curiously.

Lin Yuan casually replied, "They ran away, but the goods were recovered, and they won't cause any more trouble."

There's no need for the two of them to know about some of the bloody and dark scenes; it would only add to their psychological burden.

Zhou Chen didn't think much of it, assuming that Lin Yuan was skilled enough to scare the other party away and retrieve the goods.

Only Shen Wei, who had been in the industry for many years, was more meticulous.

Looking at the faint, chilling aura lingering on Lin Yuan's body, he inexplicably felt that tonight's events were definitely not that simple.

But he dared not ask any more questions, nor did he dare to speculate.

After this day of profound change, he had developed a deep respect for Lin Yuan, a respect he dared only keep buried in his heart.

The night passed peacefully without incident.

After a whole night of commotion, all three of them were exhausted, both physically and mentally.

Close the doors and windows, lock the doors tightly, and everyone rests.

A night passes in the blink of an eye.

Kunming was bathed in sunshine, as if all the darkness, bloodshed, and turmoil of last night had never happened.

The three of them quickly packed their luggage and carefully packed all the raw stones.

After confirming that everything was in order, I checked out of the hotel and headed straight for the airport.

The return flights this morning were all operating normally.

Sitting in the waiting hall, Zhou Chen looked at the neatly stacked, priceless raw stones beside him and felt a sense of satisfaction.

This trip to Kunming was nothing short of a miraculous turnaround.

The jade convention was originally a pessimistic event for everyone, with everyone suffering huge losses.

Only these three managed to avoid all the scams and snag a priceless imperial green jadeite against the odds.

Not only did they perfectly complete the procurement task, but they also made a fortune for the Zhou family.

Zhou Chen turned to look at Lin Yuan, who was sitting calmly beside him, his eyes full of respect.

With Lin Yuan around, it's practically like having a built-in cheat code to turn the tide!

And none of them knew.

The quiet end of the undercurrent in Kunming's black market last night has already sown the seeds of a hidden opportunity.

A larger network of connections is quietly approaching Lin Yuan.
