Ice is not averse to deception

Wu Dayong thought to himself, "Isn't this obvious? This inheritance is not only important to you, but even more important to me."

Although he knew his plan to keep the inheritance for himself had failed, the inheritance was still there. Even if he had to give up half of it, he would still make a lot of money. Why would he complain about money that was handed to him for free?

Wu Dayong could only console himself, but unexpectedly Sun Bing suddenly said, "I'll keep these things for now, since you won't need them anyway."

What?

Don't need it?

Are you kidding me?!

Wu Dayong couldn't help but sneer. Sure enough, in the face of profit, all brotherhood and code of honor are utter nonsense. They start plotting against you the moment they see the inheritance? What do you mean I don't need it?

Reaching out, Wu Dayong snatched the "documents" from Sun Bing's hand, shaking his head: "Sun Bing, these things were left to the two of us by our godfather, so..."

Sun Bing didn't try to take it; instead, she remained calm and said, "You don't need it, do you?"

Wu Dayong's sneer intensified: "Whether I need it or not is my business, but these were left to us by our godfather, so we have to split them equally."

"This..." Sun Bing didn't react for a moment. He just felt that Wu Dayong must have been too attached to his godfather, which was why he wanted to keep these things. But he still said, "Dayong, you can keep them all, but let me take pictures of the contents of the manuscripts. These ice sculpture manuscripts can help me a lot."

Upon hearing Sun Bing say that it was fine to keep them all, Wu Dayong was overjoyed.

Wait, "What manuscript?"

"These are Godfather's ice sculpture design sketches? This is the wealth Godfather has accumulated throughout his life, it's very precious."

Upon hearing Sun Bing say this, Wu Dayong couldn't help but look down.

Sure enough, what appeared before me was not real estate information, nor stocks, nor funds, but a stack of hand-drawn ice sculpture design sketches.

The words Zheng Jie had once said suddenly came to mind: "If I had to describe these legacies in one word, it would be precious."

It is indeed quite precious.

For someone who has been an ice sculptor all his life, what is most precious to him? These design sketches.

Clutching the manuscript tightly in his hand, Wu Dayong suddenly broke down in tears.

"Godfather, godfather, how could you...?"

Even Sun Bing was moved by Wu Dayong's crying and quickly comforted him, "Dayong, don't be sad. Your godfather is gone. I know you were very close to him, but being sad won't help, will it?"

"You...he...ah..." Wu Dayong was conflicted. He wanted to curse, but all of that turned into tears streaming down his face.

Sun Bing felt somewhat guilty. Initially, he thought that Wu Dayong's failure to come to Yanji to handle his godfather's funeral was due to his inability to let go of his business, which he considered a sign of indifference.

But now it seems he completely misunderstood Wu Dayong. Look how sentimental he is! His godfather has been gone for so long, yet Wu Dayong can still cry so sadly.

"Dayong, don't cry. What's past is past. We still have a long road ahead. We need to cheer up, right?"

Sure enough, Sun Bing's words reminded Wu Dayong.

He can curse and be misunderstood, but making money can't be delayed! Even without Zhang Defa's inheritance, finding Bingyuan will allow him to smoothly obtain the 200,000 yuan deposit from the Ice City Ice and Snow World.

Two hundred thousand yuan should be enough for Wu Dayong to get out of this mess.

Thinking of this, Wu Dayong instantly cheered up. Having gone through so much, Wu Dayong still had some resilience.

Sadness and disappointment won't solve anything; understanding the situation and making the best choice is what a true hero should do.

He wants both love and wealth!

Knowing that Tiger wouldn't give up easily, Sun Bing took out his phone and turned it on, hoping to make one last attempt to see if Tiger could give him some more time.

But soon, Sun Bing gave up on this plan. No matter what he said, Tiger insisted on taking Sun Bing back to Bingcheng and using Sun Bing's shop to pay off the debt.

Coincidentally, not long after Sun Bing made the call, Tiger and his men appeared nearby.

Although they were still several hundred meters away, the cautious Sun Bing spotted the tiger at a glance.

Not wanting to be disturbed by anything else, Sun Bing simply turned off her phone.

"Where should we go? Why is this tiger so persistent?" Sun Bing asked Wu Dayong.

Wu Dayong thought for a moment, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Come on, follow me. I know a place where Tiger and his gang will definitely not find us."

With Sun Bing as his scapegoat, Wu Dayong hailed a taxi and even made sure Sun Bing sat in the front, claiming that Sun Bing had difficulty walking and that the front seat was more spacious. In reality, he just wanted Sun Bing to pay the fare.

Of course, in Sun Bing's opinion, Wu Dayong is not only sentimental, but also quite thoughtful.

The taxi stopped at the entrance of a wholesale market.

Sun Bing insisted on staying in Yanji for two reasons. First, he wanted to find a source of ice, and he had some friends in Yanji compared to other places. Second, it was also based on practical considerations, since Sun Bing only had less than a thousand yuan left.

Although Sun Bing had been the one spending the money all this time, he didn't think Wu Dayong was unreliable at all. After all, for a big boss who drove a BMW and carried a Rolex, this small amount of money was indeed insignificant.

"What are we doing here?" Sun Bing asked, puzzled, seeing that it was a seafood market.

"You don't understand. Let me tell you, a lot of information isn't something you can just find out by asking around. Seafood markets are full of all sorts of people. Besides, I know a few people here who might be able to find out about Bingyuan. And besides..."

Wu Dayong pointed to the surrounding environment: "This place is in a remote location with many people. Tiger and his gang won't be able to find this place at all. Even if they do, we'll have time to escape."

Sun Bing found Wu Dayong's words to be quite reasonable, so he didn't say anything more.

Sun Bing was still disappointed that he couldn't find the ice source this time. He originally thought that as long as he completed that ice sculpture, he could get the information about the ice source, solve the ice source problem, and the Ice and Snow World could open smoothly. He would then be able to earn a lot of money and solve all the problems.

Disappointment is inevitable, and Sun Bing can only view it as a case of good things coming to those who wait.

Having sprained his ankle, Sun Bing had difficulty moving around. Wu Dayong found a chair for Sun Bing to sit on, and then took Sun Bing's wallet to buy food.

Sun Bing didn't think it was a big deal; only close friends wouldn't care about such things. He felt that Wu Dayong already considered him a friend.

Even brothers.

While Sun Bing and his group were forced to flee into the seafood market, Liu Qiang's situation wasn't much better.

I searched all over Yanji with a photo from three years ago, but found absolutely nothing.

Liu Qiang was getting anxious, thinking that dragging things out like this wasn't a solution, but he didn't dare to call Dongmei behind Liu Ruo's back. He was genuinely afraid of his older sister; it was a fear ingrained in his very being.

Just as Liu Qiang was at a loss, he went out early in the morning and chatted with the young lady at the hotel reception for a few more minutes, as usual. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly saw the room registration form on the table.

The appearance of Dongmei's name instantly excited Liu Qiang, who immediately took the registration form and began to examine it carefully.

"Has this person left?"

After staying at the hotel for a few days, Liu Qiang had become quite familiar with the receptionist, so even when it involved some customer privacy, the receptionist didn't hide anything.

"I just left yesterday. I stayed one night and left in a hurry early the next morning. Judging from the route, I think I went to the station."

"The train station? Yesterday?"

Liu Qiang slapped his thigh hard; the duck that was almost in his hand had flown away! When he looked at the room number, Liu Qiang was even more devastated; 321 was only one wall away from his own room.

In other words, if Liu Qiang hadn't gone out yesterday, and if he had paid even a little more attention, he might have been able to see Dongmei.

and many more!

Liu Qiang suddenly froze, realizing that Dongmei's presence here was highly unusual. Could it be that Dongmei already knew about his and Liu Ruo's whereabouts and had come specifically to find out the truth?

That makes it easier to explain. Sun Bing came to Yanji to rekindle his old flame with Dongmei, and was worried that Liu Ruo would ruin their plans, so he came to find out the situation in advance.

So, does that mean Sun Bing and Dongmei are really together?

Thinking about this, Liu Qiang suddenly realized a very important issue.

Liu Ruo came to Yanji, but what good would it do? If he saw Dongmei and Sun Bing but they didn't end up together, wouldn't all his efforts be in vain?

No, sitting idly by and waiting to die is not in my nature, Liu Qiang. I need to think this over carefully.

Just when Liu Qiang was completely baffled, a remark from the receptionist suddenly cheered him up.

Dongmei left in a hurry and left her phone at the hotel, where it is now being kept safe in the lost and found box.

Furthermore, Dongmei contacted the hotel using her spare phone, saying she would return to pick up her phone in three days.

Isn't this a golden opportunity?

No solid evidence? Then just create evidence, right? Not enough misunderstanding? Then just escalate the misunderstanding, right?
