"Or... is there a ghost in here?"

The more carefully Qin Fang thought about the events, the more he felt there must be something fishy going on. He looked at Su Xiaoxiao with some surprise, knowing she must be aware of far more than he was.

"You may not have thought of it, but even though Sinan is exceedingly cunning and sly, he was still betrayed by his most trusted subordinates..."

Su Xiaoxiao shrugged her shoulders and pointed towards the shipyard as she spoke.

"You should've gone through some data on Sinan. His most trusted men were two: 'Black Skin' Raymond, the muscle, and the strategist 'Hyena'..."

"Hyena betrayed Sinan?"

Qin Fang's heart stirred at the words. Raymond had become a ghost under his gun at their first encounter, but he hadn't seen Hyena, who must have been on another ship.

And combining this with what Su Xiaoxiao had just said, it was clear that the one who betrayed Sinan was Hyena.

"That's right! It was him..."

Su Xiaoxiao nodded affirmatively, "The fight was quite fierce just now, but suddenly, they stopped firing. I watched closely for a while and realized that Hyena had mixed in with a few men on the other side, and they seemed to be quite familiar with each other..."

Hearing this, Qin Fang instantly understood.

Sinan had planned to outmaneuver his opponent but failed to anticipate his most trusted subordinate's betrayal and secret collusion with the other side. So once the firefight started, the gangplank between the two ships fell into the water, and although the Tomb Robbers might have some armed forces, they definitely couldn't compare to the private arsenal of an arms dealer like Sinan.

But the reality was different. The Tomb Robbers' firepower was overwhelming, completely suppressing Sinan's forces... And after the ships parted, Hyena's men revealed their true colors, wiping out Sinan's loyalists.

Sinan died without knowing anything, still thinking that Hyena had died in battle. Afterward, all Hyena needed to do was let slip a little rumor claiming that the Millennium Ancient Corpse fell into Sinan's hands, and Sinan would find the blame hard to shake off...

As for Hyena and the Mercenary Group he had brought in, they vanished without a trace, waiting to resurface once they had gathered enough strength, and then it would be very difficult for anyone to take them down.

And from start to finish, Sinan never knew who he was up against...

"Truly a clever scheme..."

Hyena, worthy of being Sinan's strategist, pulled off a deceit of massive proportions, playing even an old fox like Sinan.

Of course, Hyena might not have expected that Sinan had already died at the hands of Qin Fang, and a significant flaw had appeared in his plan.

Even less could he have foreseen that Qin Fang had secretly followed him and was now figuring out a way to steal the Millennium Ancient Corpse he had...

Inside the shipyard, it was deathly quiet, obviously well-arranged by Hyena. The mercenaries were busy dealing with the bodies and were loading the Jade Coffin onto a vehicle that had been prepared in advance, seemingly ready for land transport.

"You keep watch here, cover for me... I'm going in!"

Qin Fang and his companion had limited means of transportation and hadn't come in a car, so once that vehicle started moving, they wouldn't be able to catch up even if they wanted to.

If Hyena had planned everything out, then he could definitely safely deliver the Jade Coffin to the designated location, so Qin Fang had to take the Millennium Ancient Corpse before it was transported away.

At the very least, he had to get hold of some Corpse Oil...

After a brief word with Su Xiaoxiao, Qin Fang immediately turned into a shadow and stealthily entered the shipyard.

The shipyard was quite vast, mostly empty.

Hyena had made arrangements for smooth transport of the items. The shipyard was nearly empty, with only a few dim street lights shining in select places.

Qin Fang quickly snuck in, heading straight for the Jade Coffin. The Millennium Ancient Corpse inside was his real goal; all else could be ignored.

According to what he learned from Su Xiaoxiao, the ancient corpse was like a zombie; it would come back to life once removed from the Jade Coffin. Therefore, changing the coffin wasn't likely, not to mention that the Jade Coffin itself, made of such a large amount of jade, was worth a fortune. Even if Hyena wanted to make a fake one, he likely lacked the ability to do so.

...

Inside the shipyard, the lighting was dim, but there was a bustle of activity.

"Hurry up, everyone, move it..."

Hyena wasn't very old, probably in his thirties, and he had a plain and honest look about him, which didn't match his nickname 'Hyena' at all.

But Qin Fang knew what kind of creature a hyena was; it was a very fierce and sly beast, also known as the scavenger of the savannah.

And true to his namesake, Hyena was not only crafty but also had a vicious heart. Working under Sinan for many years, he had disposed of many enemies for him, earning significant favor.

Like this deal, half of the plan was Hyena's own idea. And because of that, Sinan was outwitted by Hyena.

"Ericsson, I have to thank you for this one. Otherwise, it would have been really tough to escape from Sinan's grip..."

While directing his men to swiftly transfer the items, Hyena also conversed with the White man beside him, and it seemed the two were quite familiar with one another.
