"Alright, but you'll be coming to tomorrow's jewelry opening ceremony, right?"

Yang Yan couldn't help but ask again.

"Yes! I'll definitely be there tomorrow. After all, I have to support you and Miss Zhou's event."

Christina said with a smile.

"Okay, should I give you the address?"

Yang Yan asked.

"No need, Miss Zhou has already contacted me. I'll just go directly tomorrow. Alright, my grandfather is here, see you tomorrow."

With that, Christina hung up the phone.

At Intoxication, Yang Yan called Zhuge Wushuang and the others to the upstairs meeting room. Then, using Ghost Hand, he shared all the information he had gathered today.

After listening to Yang Yan, Red Dust suddenly spoke:

"About that box, I might know something."

Hearing this, Yang Yan immediately became interested:

"Then hurry up and tell us. I've checked out that box thoroughly and found nothing special, apart from the black stuff on the outside and some strange runes, everything else seems normal."

Red Dust suddenly chuckled:

"You've all heard of Pandora's Box, right?"

Hearing this, everyone felt a jolt of fear.

"You're saying that the box is Pandora's Box? But it doesn't look like it. Isn't it said that opening the box brings misfortune? Why hasn't anything happened to that guy named Miller?"

Fatty said with a frown.

"Now that you mention it, I really think it might be Pandora's Box."

Yang Yan said, squinting his eyes in thought.

Red Dust nodded in agreement:

"Indeed, every time it's opened, something unfortunate happens! The first time was Dragon Scale, the second time was Ghost Hand. If you think about it, none of those events were good."

"Moreover, each of those items is deadly. But now I'm curious about Miller's identity. If he were an ordinary person, he wouldn't have stumbled upon this by chance!"

Yang Yan raised a glass of cocktail and drank it in one go, then instructed Xiaocao:

"Once we get back, Xiaocao, please investigate Miller's identity. Red Dust is right, stealing something from the Twelve Titans isn't something an ordinary person can do."

"And it's strange that even after they identified him, they haven't caught him yet. There must be something special about this."

Red Dust nodded:

"Let's leave it at that for now; February is not far off, and we'll find out when we get there. I expect Jing Hong and the others will also be there."

Mu Qingcheng suddenly spoke:

"Some strange things have happened recently in East Sea City, have you heard?"

Yang Yan frowned, asking suspiciously:

"What strange things? I've been cooped up at home lately and haven't heard anything."

Knowing that even Mu Qingcheng called them strange, the events must be unusual.

"Some beautiful female students have been mutilated..."

Mu Qingcheng said.

"Holy crap! Who's that twisted? How come I haven't heard about it?"

Fatty exclaimed in agitation.

"It's only been a few days, and the police and school are keeping it under wraps. The school is a prestigious one, only admitting girls, so it's normal you haven't heard."

"I only heard about it by chance. But it seems pretty credible, and I think there's more to it than meets the eye."

Mu Qingcheng said.

Hearing Mu Qingcheng's words, Yang Yan knew immediately who was behind it without a second thought.

"Is Jiutun Tongzi still around?"

Yang Yan said coldly.

"Jiutun Tongzi? The Ghost King from Island Country? What's he doing in Huaxia? Also, wasn't he sealed by Abe Qingming?"

Fatty asked, stunned.

"If I'm not mistaken, he's probably here for the event in February. Let's not worry about him for now. He's bold to commit such acts in Huaxia; he's courting disaster."

"I suspect Huaxia's Ninth Division is already pursuing him. If those fanatics take action, even Jiutun Tongzi would be in for it."

Yang Yan said with a hint of schadenfreude.

Hearing about the Ninth Division intervening, everyone exchanged wary glances.

The Eight Divisions present didn't concern them, but this mysterious Ninth Division, even they were a bit apprehensive.

"Alright, business is concluded, I'm heading back. Zhou's Jewelry is opening tomorrow, and as an employee, I can't just spend my day wandering around."

After saying that, Yang Yan snatched the cocktail from Fatty's hand, downed it, stretched lazily, and headed out.

"Hmph! If you want to talk about employees, he'd definitely be fired if he worked for me. He never shows up for work and has an ambiguous relationship with the boss."

Fatty said disdainfully, watching Yang Yan leave, then took out a bottle of liquor and gulped down a swallow.

With a "thud," Fatty fell to the ground.

The liquor in his hand was promptly poured into the trash by Xiaocao.

"Watch your backside."

Xiaocao said coldly, placing the now-empty bottle heavily on the table and turning to leave.

"Serves you right!"

The others echoed together.

Fatty stared wistfully at the empty bottle, face twitching, unable to say a word.

Back at the apartment, Zhou Hanyun had already left, presumably to the company.

Zhou's Jewelry's opening is tomorrow, and she must have a lot to handle promptly.

Yang Yan checked the time, 3 PM, not too early or late.

After thinking for a bit, Yang Yan turned and headed out, slowly walking towards No. 3 Middle School.

Speaking of which, it's been ages since he picked up Zhou Hanyu.

Who knows what's up with her.

Ever since they returned from Paradise Island, she's been giving Yang Yan strange looks, making Yang Yan feel like he did something to her.

Since he was going to No. 3 Middle, he naturally had to pass by the "Yang Family Noodle Shop."

But it happened that Su Ye wasn't there today.

And due to the time, the shop wasn't very busy.

Yang Yan sat by himself at an empty seat by the window.

Seeing a customer, a waiter hurried over to ask what Yang Yan wanted to eat.

Yang Yan looked at the waiter, unfamiliar—must be new.

"Yan, take a break; he's not an outsider, no need to worry."

Li Wei glanced at Yang Yan and then smiled at the waiter.

"Hey! Xiaowei, where's your boss?"

Yang Yan picked up a pair of chopsticks and lightly tapped them on the table.

"The boss went to inspect another shop; I heard they got criticized by the Bureau of Commerce for poor service, so the boss went to check what's up."

After saying this, Li Wei brought a bowl of noodles to Yang Yan and handed it to him.

"Try it, what's missing compared to the boss's cooking?"

Without hesitation, Yang Yan took the bowl and started eating.
