Chapter 773: Zhu Yiwen Takes the Risk to Enter Jiangzhou

~8 min read 1,557 words

"Fine."

He agreed very readily, then the camera shook for a moment, a door was pushed open, and Ji Yingjie appeared in the frame.

"Swish!"

The moment she saw her aunt, tears immediately streamed down Shi Youxuan's face!

Even though she had been mentally prepared, she still underestimated the extent of Zhu Yiwen's shamelessness.

Ji Yingjie was kneeling on the ground with a dog chain tied around her neck; she was wearing the same clothes Shi Youxuan had seen her in last time, but they were now tattered beyond recognition.

Beside the chain sat a dog bowl, and inside were granular pieces of dog food.

"You bastard, let my aunt go, otherwise you will never get the Treasure." Shi Youxuan was furious, so angry that she wished she could tear Zhu Yiwen into pieces right then and there.

"Sure, letting her go is no problem, as long as you don't lie to me; once I get that Treasure, I'll release her immediately."

This was a naked threat, and the threat had succeeded.

Zhu Yiwen did not send people to Jiangzhou to retrieve the Treasure, but instead made a demand, ordering Sheng Hanyu to retrieve the Treasure and hand it over to him.

Shi Youxuan gritted her teeth in rage and refused flatly: "Impossible. If he knew where the Treasure was, he wouldn't give you a single bit of it. Besides, he is currently in L Country, not in Jiangzhou."

"He dares? With you in my hands, would he dare not to listen? Shi Youxuan, don't take me for a three-year-old child who is easy to fool."

She sneered: "What is a wife? Without me, there are plenty of young, beautiful girls who want to marry him; we can just replace me then. Sheng Hanyu cannot go, I don't agree."

She proposed swapping people, saying anyone else would do, but Sheng Hanyu could not go.

Zhu Yiwen was completely reassured.

In fact, this was just another test; if Shi Youxuan had agreed immediately, he would have been firmly resolved not to go to Jiangzhou.

Because Sheng Hanyu was in Jiangzhou, it was too dangerous for him to go; that place was inherently very dangerous, and he had to be cautious and then cautious again.

Thus, Shi Youxuan succeeded.

Zhu Yiwen would not feel at ease sending anyone else, and he truly had no more suitable people at his disposal.

A Qing and Feiying were capable and effective men, but unfortunately, he had killed them with his own hands.

Now, those subordinates of his... were one worse than the other!

After thinking for an entire night, he finally decided to take the risk and make the trip himself, bringing his men along!

It was very difficult for him to get to Jiangzhou.

First of all, Jiangzhou was not like other places; he had to change his identity and disguise himself well before he could enter, so as not to be discovered.

Jiangzhou.

The top-floor office area of the Ginza Building.

Sheng Hanyu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, pacing back and forth incessantly; the massive office area could barely contain him.

Yun Zhe Hao was getting dizzy from the pacing and suggested: "Young Master Sheng, can you please settle down for a moment? Can you sit and wait? You're making me dizzy."

"Cut the crap, urge the airport again. See if there are any fish that slipped through the net? Zhu Yiwen is very cunning; don't let him sneak in without us knowing."

Sheng Hanyu had been in Jiangzhou the whole time, but he had publicly claimed he was not.

The couple was acting separately; he was weaving a massive web in Jiangzhou, waiting for Zhu Yiwen to walk right into it.

Yun Zhe Hao: "Don't worry, the airport is so tightly guarded that even a foreign fly would be checked several times over if it flew in. No matter what identity he uses, as long as it's a fake one, he won't be able to leave the airport."

According to time estimates.

Zhu Yiwen should have reached the borders of Jiangzhou within these two days; both Shi Youxuan and her husband were certain he would go in person.

The reason was simple—with such a large fortune, Zhu Yiwen could not possibly feel at ease handing it over to anyone else!

If he wouldn't take the risk, it only meant the temptation wasn't great enough.

When enough wealth was placed before him, he would definitely take this risk!

This plan had begun ever since Shi Youxuan and Sheng Hanyu last went to the Ji Family.

Step by step, they had reached this point, and every step had been extremely rigorous. Now that Zhu Yiwen was finally coming to Jiangzhou, Sheng Hanyu would not allow himself to make even the slightest mistake.

One day passed.

Two days passed.

Another week passed.

There was still no movement at Jiangzhou International Airport.

"Is it possible he didn't come through the airport?" Sheng Hanyu gasped.

It was over; it was very likely.

Jiangzhou.

The seaside.

Resort.

The night was deep, and there was not a soul on the beach. Today was an overcast day, and even the moon in the sky was covered by dark clouds.

The seaside, which was charming by day, was now cold and silent.

There were still the dim lights of streetlamps and the glow from windows inside the Resort, but the beach was pitch black.

Only the sound of the waves rhythmically lapping against the sand could be heard.

Suddenly, there was an anomaly behind a large rock.

First, a person in a wetsuit emerged from the sea, looked around to find nothing unusual, and then used a diving light wrapped in cloth to flash it a few times toward the back.

A moment later, several people wearing the same wetsuits emerged from the sea; they quickly ran to the shore, took off their wetsuits, and began digging pits in the bushes.

This place was not far from the sea, and the soil was moist and easy to dig.

Soon, each person dug a pit, hid their wetsuit inside, and then shouldered their backpacks and left!

Prince Hotel.

This place was bought out by Sheng Hanyu several years ago and is now a property of Dingsheng.

A standard suite.

The bathroom is wreathed in steam; the man comes out wrapped in a bath towel after his shower.

Comfortable; he spent an entire day soaking in seawater, without food or drink, and nearly collapsed from exhaustion.

After a hot bath, he feels even hungrier now, his stomach rumbling.

"Ding-dong..."

The doorbell rings, and a waiter says from outside, "Sir, room service."

"Bring it in."

The man does not go to open the door, but instead places a banknote on the dining table, then returns to the room and closes the door.

The waiter uses a spare room card to open the door and sets the exquisite tableware onto the dining table one by one.

A voice comes from the room: "The money on the table is your tip; please close the door on your way out."

"Very well, thank you, sir."

The waiter pockets the banknote and leaves, pushing the food cart.

Zhu Yiwen comes out of the room, goes to the dining table, and lifts the lids: pan-fried eggs with chives, braised pork belly with dried green beans, stir-fried garlic sprouts with meat, steamed mandarin fish, a bowl of rice, and a bowl of egg drop soup.

It is a pity for such exquisite tableware to be used for such unrefined food.

He feels disdain in his heart, but his appetite is honest.

The fragrance of the food drifts over, and his stomach begins to growl.

He cannot care about that much anymore; he is not very familiar with using chopsticks, so he picks up a soup spoon to scoop a piece of braised pork into his mouth.

Hmm?

It is delicious.

Like a whirlwind sweeping away clouds, the four dishes, one soup, and rice all end up in his stomach.

Zhu Yiwen arrived by smuggling himself in; the ID card on his person belongs to a Jiangzhou resident, and out of caution, he even ordered local Jiangzhou dishes.

In reality, he prefers Western food.

Staying at the Prince Hotel is the result of Zhu Yiwen's careful deliberation; this is called "darkness under the lamp"—the most dangerous place is often the safest place.

Having eaten and drunk his fill, he rests at the hotel for a day.

Several people set off with backpacks on their backs.

Marsh.

This place is basically the same as what was written in the files; without magnetic field interference, mobile phone navigation works here, and there is no need to worry about getting lost.

Zhu Yiwen has found the fish pond.

There is indeed an abandoned small earthen hut by the fish pond; Zhu Yiwen finds his bearings and waves his hand: "Follow me."

The group walks exactly one thousand meters, then changes direction, continuing to walk according to the method Shi Youxuan described.

It is not easy to walk in the Swamp, because there are no paths here at all.

Moreover, the direction, speed, and stride length mentioned by Shi Youxuan are very strict; even a slight deviation can easily lead to a large error.

"Keep up, hurry!"
