Xi Yuanshan dressed in a suit tonight, even taking the effort to tidy his hair to mask the signs of illness.
He still looked like that successful businessman.
But as soon as he spoke, Gu Qiusha was overwheld with disappointnt, feeling as if she no longer knew the man in front of her—
"Sha Sha, can you discuss with Zuzi about choosing one of her violins to sell?"
Gu Qiusha was incredulous: "Asking Zuzi to sell her treasures? Xi Yuanshan, have you lost your mind?"
"Sha Sha, calm down. I’m not asking her to sell all of them, just one is enough. Look at our financial state now; all the company’s funds are tied up in business and can’t be retrieved for the mont. I don’t want you to be so stressed each day worrying about money. If Zuzi is willing to help the family a little..."
Gu Qiusha angrily interrupted him: "Xi Yuanshan, don’t you dare! To even think about your daughter’s belongings, how shaless can you be? I am truly... so disappointed in you!"
Xi Yuanshan was a bit displeased too: "I’m not asking her to sell them all, just one. Is that such a big deal to you?"
Gu Qiusha’s face was full of disappointnt.
Just monts ago, seeing him delete Fang Yui’s WeChat, proactively seeking reconciliation, she thought maybe his mind had cleared a bit.
Now it seed his mind was beyond help, utterly incurable!
"It is a big deal! Even a vicious tiger will not eat its cubs, yet you covet your daughter’s treasures. Xi Yuanshan, get as far away as you can!"
Gu Qiusha shouted hysterically.
She had never been this angry before!
Watching Gu Qiusha furiously reject him and storm out, Xi Yuanshan disdainfully said, "Really unreasonable. Older won don’t understand tenderness, always acting like a tigress, totally affecting one’s mood for recuperation."
He got into his private car and took out his phone.
Sliding open WeChat, a grin imdiately appeared on his face.
A contact nad "Qingcheng Apartnt Sales Office Salesperson No. 1" was ssaging him:
"Boss, would you have ti to view a property tonight? If not, I could bring the pictures to you."
"Boss, do you like a three-bedroom or a four-bedroom?"
"Hehe, Brother Xi, does my new na sound nice?"
See, young won are so understanding.
Feeling entirely at ease, he replied to the renad Fang Yui: "Co to the hospital; I’ll give you three rooms with one stop, four entries with two stops tonight!"
"Oh boss, you’re naughty!"

Deep within Qingcheng Mountain.
The valley after a thunderstorm was a scene of devastation.
Chen Long trembled with fear as Bao Gucheng personally brought the last coffin up from the thirty-fathom-deep pit.
The man’s entire body was covered in dirt; his gloves were completely stained black, and his arms were scratched in several places by rocks on the mountain, yet he seed not to care, his gaze focused solely on the coffin he had unearthed.
A total of six stone coffins, identical.
Bao Gucheng paused for a mont, then personally opened the coffin.
Another sharp flash of lightning streaked across the horizon. In an instant, everyone saw the corpse inside, now turned to white bones, cruelly nailed to the coffin’s base with penetrating nails!
Chen Long couldn’t bear to look closely, his voice choked: "Mr. Bo, this... shouldn’t be our brothers. It was six years ago that He Snake and others went missing during that mission. In six years, the bodies wouldn’t have decomposed this thoroughly..."
However.
Bao Gucheng’s gaze fixed on the neck of the corpse, the hint of a steel chain, his voice deep: "006, He Snake’s number."
Chen Long was struck with a massive shock.
Only then did he notice, that steel chain buried in the bone crevice—that was their team’s unique and exclusive mber ID number.
Chen Long was 005; He Snake had joined half a month after him, so he was 006.
Mr. Bo rembered so clearly!
Tears gushed forth instantly; Chen Long, a man over six feet tall, couldn’t help but kneel down, sobbing uncontrollably: "Brothers!"
Their brothers, they hadn’t gone on any crucial mission, but silently died tragically in these mountains!
Bao Gucheng’s lips were tightly pressed, and in the dark, his eyes swirled with a dangerous storm as he leaned over the coffin.
Wearing gloves was inconvenient for maneuvering, so he removed them, reaching towards the bone-piercing nail that had pinned He Snake...
In the sky, another bolt of lightning split the night!
