Regarding Situ Wen's kind intentions, Yang Yan actually found it a bit troublesome.

According to his thinking, these guys had seen the treasure and started plotting against him, so naturally, they deserved a good lesson.

Now, because of Situ Wen's appearance, he didn't have the opportunity to act and felt quite uncomfortable.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. Something urgent came up that I need to handle immediately. Today's matter will have to be postponed for now."

Wei Ying returned to the living room, saying with a smile.

"Oh? What kind of thing?"

Situ Wen asked, puzzled.

"It's some internal Hongmen matters, so it's not convenient to tell the old gentleman."

"However, rest assured, it's not very complicated, and I'll quickly take care of it."

"As for your affair, I'm afraid it will have to wait until tomorrow. I'll definitely give Mr. Situ a satisfactory explanation."

Wei Ying promised, patting his chest.

"Then... what about my Emperor's Blood Jade?"

The jade shop owner was still thinking about that piece of jade, asking instinctively.

Although he knew he wouldn't be able to get that jade, Wang Hao had said that if he could get Yang Yan to bring out the jade, he would be given a considerable reward.

Upon hearing the shop owner's words, Yang Yan couldn't help but frown.

He wasn't unaware that these guys were targeting his Emperor's Blood Jade.

But their audacity was too much!

Daring to be so blatant?

People will risk their lives for riches, and birds for food indeed.

"That's actually simple."

Wei Ying kept a smile on his face and said to Yang Yan:

"Since this matter isn't concluded yet, it's inappropriate for the jade to remain in your possession."

"Of course, I won't take the jade either. Let's do it this way, you let Mr. Situ keep it for now, and when I return tomorrow, we'll resolve this matter."

"By then, the jade's rightful owner will be determined. Mr. Situ, do you have any objections?"

"Well..."

Situ Wen hesitated for a moment and then said with a smile:

"The old man has no objections, just as well I can admire it for a while."

"Young man, is it okay for the jade to stay with the old man for a day? Don't worry, the old man will find a witness for you, and tomorrow I'll definitely prove your innocence."

To be honest, Yang Yan was quite unwilling hearing their conversation.

However, seeing Situ Wen's wholehearted support, he couldn't say much.

After all, since they were helping him so much, he didn't want to refuse outright.

Of course, he had the feeling that this guy named Wei Ying was a smiling tiger, planning something with this arrangement.

Might as well go along and see what he really wants to do.

"If that's the case, then let's do it. Everything will wait until tomorrow!"

Yang Yan made up his mind and nodded, agreeing.

"Great! Since you have no objections, I'll go and handle my matters first."

Wei Ying turned and walked outside.

He appeared in a hurry, as if his business was really urgent.

"Rest assured, young man, I will make sure the Emperor's Blood Jade is kept safe."

After taking the jade from Yang Yan, Situ Wen cherished it in his hand and said solemnly.

"Mr. Situ, you speak too highly."

Yang Yan said sincerely:

"After all, today's situation is mainly thanks to the old gentleman."

Situ Wen dismissively waved his hand:

"There's nothing to thank! Honestly, I should be the one thanking you. After all, you let me be the one to discover this magnificent Emperor's Blood Jade."

"And let me have the fortune to keep it for a day, indulging my eyes. It's truly a blessing from a past life."

Yang Yan smiled noncommittally:

"All right, let's leave it at that. I'll come back tomorrow, and maybe find some more good jade."

Situ Wen also laughed and said:

"Well then, I'll take my leave too. See you tomorrow."

As he was leaving, Situ Wen, who quite despised evil, didn't forget to give a hard stare at the anxious jade shop owner nearby.

He had already decided that once tomorrow's business was over, he would have him removed.

The jade world doesn't need such black sheep!

"That old gentleman is really enthusiastic, defending us like this."

Outside the Hongmen hall, Han Ruyu said with a smile.

"Ah! That old gentleman is just too enthusiastic, otherwise I would have resolved this myself. Now, we have to wait until tomorrow. It's really troublesome!"

Yang Yan said with some distress.

Finally encountering the Emperor's Blood Jade, he hadn't even warmed it in his hands!

At least tomorrow it would be back in his possession.

Thinking about it, Yang Yan couldn't help but start planning:

Such a wonderful jade, should it be made into a jade talisman or a portable array?

Oh, it's such a dilemma!

"You guys stay here. I have something to deal with. Unless I come out, don't disturb me for anything, no matter how big. We'll talk after I come out."

At the Hongmen hall entrance, Wei Ying stood outside a secret room and spoke seriously to the guards.

…

When Yang Yan and his friends returned to Queens, it was already evening.

Because he obtained something valuable today, Yang Yan was excited and couldn't sleep.

As for someone minor like Wei Ying, he didn't concern himself at all.

They say, respond to soldiers with generals, water with earth.

He was really curious to see what grand setup this Hongmen Hall Master, situated overseas, could orchestrate.

"Okay, go to sleep! Look at you; it's just a nice piece of jade. Is it worth getting so excited?"

Zhou Hanyun looked at Yang Yan, teasing.

"You don't understand; the thing is like a treasured toy for a child to me. I'm so excited I can't sleep."

Yang Yan said frankly, not hiding his affection for the Emperor's Blood Jade.

"You, such a guy. No matter how good the thing is, it's not in your hands now, is it?"

"Go rest! Tomorrow we need to settle this matter!"

"Plus, I also have many questions for Mr. Situ."

Zhou Hanyun said with a smile.

"Got it, you go to sleep first! I'll sit a bit more and then sleep."

Yang Yan said smilingly.

Listening to him, Zhou Hanyun nodded unconsciously.

However, she then seemed to remember something, turning to glance deeply at Han Ruyu, who also hadn't spoken.

Then, blushing, she quickly headed back to her room.

"Zhou Hanyun, what are you thinking?"
