The last ti when Olivia urged Ye Xunhuan to compete, causing soone to be forced out from the shadows by Olivia, Ye Xunhuan had already guessed that soone might take action against He Sichan.
After all, the other party was able to ntion He Luo and was adamantly certain about sothing on himself, making Ye Xunhuan suspect soone would definitely make a move on He Sichan next.
Originally, Ye Xunhuan thought it would be better not to stir up more trouble, so he didn't plan to see He Sichan. But unfortunately, a phone call from He Sichan made Ye Xunhuan have no choice but to visit her. He never expected that just upon returning to Jiangzhong City, soone would call him, telling him He Sichan was in their hands and demanding he trade He Luo for the Tai Chi Seal.
Moreover, Ye Xunhuan felt that Xiao Jiu certainly didn't know about what happened to He Sichan, otherwise Xiao Jiu wouldn't have failed to contact him!
Regardless of whether He Sichan was his woman, or due to the promise made to He Duoze, Ye Xunhuan couldn't ignore He Sichan. After hanging up the phone, Ye Xunhuan imdiately left the villa.
Wang Ma was not surprised about Ye Xunhuan going out and didn't ask any questions.
After leaving the villa, Ye Xunhuan headed straight to the Stone Peak Bamboo Garden as ntioned by the other party.
The Stone Peak Bamboo Garden is not a bamboo garden but a tea garden. However, it is filled with bamboo, and the owner behind it had sohow transported various strange and unusual stones, which gave it the na Stone Peak Bamboo Garden.
Ye Xunhuan drove to Stone Peak Bamboo Garden, and just as he stepped into the main hall, a mature woman exuding the charm of a grown woman walked up, wearing a professional smile on her face.
"Are you Mr. Ye Xunhuan?" the woman softly inquired.
Ye Xunhuan nodded: "Yes!"
"Mr. Ye, your friend said you have arrived, and asked to take you there."
"Thank you!" Ye Xunhuan said courteously, and followed the woman through a door at the back of the hall, directly entering the tea garden.
Once out of the hall, Ye Xunhuan's view imdiately expanded, filled with bamboo and so oddly shaped stones.
As the breeze blew by, the dense bamboo made a rustling sound.
The woman led Ye Xunhuan forward, passing by a small pond, with a water corridor crossing through the middle. In the center of the pond stood an elegant and delicate pavilion, like a pearl embedded on a jade plate.
This was where the other party arranged to et Ye Xunhuan.
Ye Xunhuan was puzzled as to why they would arrange to et in such a place. Usually, others would choose a secluded and deserted location for such etings, but the other party chose this place, akin to business etings among the upper class, leaving Ye Xunhuan quite perplexed.
Nonetheless, since he was already here, there was nothing to worry about anymore.
After bringing Ye Xunhuan here, the woman smiled professionally at him and said, "Mr. Ye, please proceed on your own."
Ye Xunhuan nodded, said nothing more, and lifted his foot to continue forward.
At this mont, Ye Xunhuan could see a middle-aged man sitting in the pavilion on the pond.
The middle-aged man had a square face with eyebrows as black as ink, giving off a serious and unsmiling deanor.
Upon seeing Ye Xunhuan, the man imdiately pointed to the chair in front of him and said, "Sit!"
Ye Xunhuan didn't stand on ceremony and sat directly opposite the man: "I'm here, where's the person?"
"Marshal, where's the thing I want?"
The two didn't conceal anything, getting straight to the point.
"I haven't seen the person. Do you think I would give you the thing?"
"What a coincidence, neither!" the man replied lightly.
"You..."
"Marshal, let's not play tricks. Besides, I can't outwit you," the man interrupted Ye Xunhuan softly. "I know your prowess, I know engaging with you is almost certainly death, but you should also know, since I dared to invite you to such a place, if anything happens to , He Sichan wouldn't have it easy either!"
Ye Xunhuan had to admit that what the man said was a fact.
"Speak, what do you want?"
"I am not after my life, because I know, even if I kill soone close to you, you'll hunt down to the ends of the earth!" the man stated truthfully. "So, as long as you give He Luo, I guarantee He Sichan will be returned to you unhard!"
Ye Xunhuan didn't respond imdiately, he looked the man over and said: "I want to see the person first!"
"I will indulge you!"
The man snapped his fingers, then took out his phone, and directly dialed a number.
Or rather, a video call!
Very quickly, the call was connected, and He Sichan's figure imdiately appeared on the phone screen.
At this mont, He Sichan was tied to a chair with her mouth sealed with tape, her face full of panic.
He Sichan didn't know where she was being held, the surroundings looked quite dim, but Ye Xunhuan could barely make out that it seed to be a luxurious private room!
"Marshal, as you can see, I haven't hard her. As long as you give He Luo, I will imdiately tell you where she is." the man didn't end the video call, letting Ye Xunhuan watch.
Ye Xunhuan pondered briefly without speaking, then from his body took out a black wooden box carved with birds and beasts, and without hesitation threw it to the man.
The man caught the box, imdiately opened it, and glanced at it.
Inside the box were two palm-sized mysterious objects of unknown material, resembling a turtle shell but not quite, with tadpole-like patterns on them, at first glance, they seed like a child's scribble.
But this thing exuded an aura of immortality and antiquity.
The man took one look and slowly said, "I need to verify it, give a few minutes!"
"Alright!"
Then, the man blatantly fild a short video of the object with his phone in Ye Xunhuan's presence and sent it to soone.
Soon after, the man's phone rang again.
After answering the call, whatever he heard caused a strong smile to surface on his face.
Imdiately after hanging up, the man slowly spoke, "Marshal, the item is real, but I need to leave first before telling you where the person is located!"
"Of course, you can also choose not to let go and take He Luo back, but I can't guarantee He Sichan's safety if you do."
"Are you planning to call He Sichan's mother?"
The man chuckled lightly: "Marshal, that's my business. You just need to tell whether you'll let leave or not, or you can kill right here!"
The man had an air of soone unafraid of death, determined and prepared to take advantage of Ye Xunhuan.
