Someone will come for it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes,” one crewman replied, summoning several others to carry the box out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julie Ye led a group of children off the ship; after their adventure, the children had grown livelier than ever, chattering nonstop about the dinosaurs they had seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julie Ye watched the box being carried out, a glint of interest in her eyes—she instinctively felt something was inside, but with so many people around, she couldn’t inspect it. She vowed to find an opportunity to see what this mysterious thing was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is New York? It’s changed so much from three years ago,” Alice said, stepping out of the ship and gazing at the transformed city with quiet astonishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This city changes every day—utterly transformed. Don’t just you, even I find it astonishing,” Ye Nan smiled. In just this short time, Madison Square Garden had changed dramatically; the crowd noise had grown even louder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Ye Nan, I’m Special Agent Michelle of the Lianbangdiaocha Bureau. Please come with me.” A middle-aged man approached, his blue curls framing a scruffy beard; he looked disheveled and unkempt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And of course, this beautiful lady as well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Michelle turned to Alice, his face instantly brightened into a grin, like a man starved of women, his interest intense—as if he meant to melt her with his gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alice looked at him and subtly stepped back, a flicker of revulsion in her eyes. “Rumors say Lianbangdiaocha Bureau agents are everywhere. I see it’s true—but how did you find us?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss, you were careless,” Michelle smiled. “The Lianbangdiaocha Bureau knows everything. We know exactly what you did on Jurassic Park.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Nan frowned slightly. Jurassic Park lay in international waters, remote and sparsely populated. How could the Lianbangdiaocha Bureau possibly know?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could it be Tianwang? Or Honghou?” Ye Nan glanced up at the sky, as if something there was watching them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still remembered how Umbrella Corporation in the movie Resident Evil used satellites to track Alice’s location. Perhaps they too had been tracked by the Bureau’s satellites.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine, we’ll go with you—but I need to call my lawyer.” Ye Nan shrugged helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course,” Michelle kept smiling. He knew who Ye Nan was calling, but he had no choice. If Ye Nan were an ordinary man, he wouldn’t have been this polite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Ye Nan was a billionaire, a man of high social standing—even the Lianbangdiaocha Bureau had to tread carefully around such men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Nan pulled out his phone and dialed a number—William Douglas’s private line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who is this?” came a slightly aged voice from the other end—William Douglas’s voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. William Douglas, it’s Ye Nan. We’ve found something—a very strange plant.” Ye Nan lowered his voice, yet his excitement was unmistakable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, it’s little Andy,” William Douglas said, hearing the thrill in his tone. “What did you find that’s got you so worked up?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s Blood Orchid—it’s a miraculous plant. It unlocks human potential, rejuvenates cells, and most importantly, it slows cell division, greatly extending lifespan.” Ye Nan spoke eagerly, but accidentally let his voice carry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alice’s eyes lit up instantly as she stared at Ye Nan, her heart racing. Michelle also fixed his gaze on Ye Nan, lost in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What…?” William Douglas exclaimed on the other end, then his voice surged with excitement. He gripped his phone tightly, his trembling voice echoing through the line: “Is this real?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s real. I asked the locals—Blood Orchid slows aging in natives. But with our research, we can make immortality a reality.” Ye Nan nodded vigorously, as if afraid William Douglas wouldn’t believe him, then added:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Near the Blood Orchid, I saw a creature called the Giant Python. It’s enormous—rumor says it grew so large from consuming the Blood Orchid.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where is the Blood Orchid?” William Douglas forced his excitement down, speaking in a low tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In the primordial forests of the Yamaxunhe Basin. My men stumbled upon a local native who told them. But the Blood Orchid is guarded by many Giant Pythons—my men dare not approach.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Precious treasures always come with monstrous guardians—that’s an old saying from your East,” William Douglas said cheerfully. “But thank you immensely for this tip. Giant Pythons? Nothing. I’ll send the Satan’s Wing Mercenary Team.” He added: “By the way, where are you now? You must go quickly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This…” Ye Nan hesitated, his voice faltering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s wrong? Why are you hesitating?” William Douglas roared over the line. This concerned his chance to escape the tyranny of death—he would allow no one, not even Ye Nan, to obstruct him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his eyes, Ye Nan was merely Ma Xiu’s lowly assistant. Even now as CEO of ICQ, he could crush him effortlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, please don’t be angry, Mr. Douglas. I hesitate because I’m in trouble—the Lianbangdiaocha Bureau wants to take me away. I’m afraid I can’t assist you as I’d hoped.” Ye Nan spoke with feigned regret, secretly smiling inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What? The Lianbangdiaocha Bureau? They’re asking to be dissolved—for daring to touch my man!” William Douglas roared like a lion ready to devour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait. I’m calling the director of the Lianbangdiaocha Bureau, Edgar Shi Cuike,” William Douglas snapped, then hung up and dialed Edgar Shi Cuike’s number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now we’ll go with you. I hope you don’t regret your decision,” Ye Nan said, pocketing his phone and smiling at Michelle.\u003C\u002Fp>",972,"2026-06-21T03:32:50.781Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","194098856a3fd17ae765d29fbf08cf75f490acc8adda64033ed04b23140a36ff","arrival-in-1994-chapter-38","arrival-in-1994-chapter-36",643,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Farrival-in-1994-cover.jpg"]
