"Be careful of Xing Sihai!"

There were only these five words on the slip of paper, but the meaning behind those words made my body tremble uncontrollably.

Xing Sihai is the real name of the Fourth Uncle, what does the note mean by telling me to be careful of him? Would Fourth Uncle harm me?

This doesn't make sense, Fourth Uncle is the old man's last disciple, and he has always been good to me. After he divorced Fourth Aunt, he was always alone, without a son.

Could it be that the person who left the note was trying to sow discord?

This person knows about the Wild Mountain and that Fourth Uncle is preparing to go up to Wild Mountain to find my grandfather, so he intentionally left a note to sow discord?

But from another point of view, what if that was true?

If Fourth Uncle wanted to harm me, then he must be hiding a lot of things. Even the old man's loss of connection was related to him.

I burned the slip of paper, not paying much attention to the words on it. In my heart, I still believed in the Fourth Uncle, so I didn't think that he would harm me.

That night, I thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't figure out who had given it to me. The only thing I could be sure of was that this person didn't want to harm me.

The next day, I didn't inform Fourth Uncle that I was going to Rui Li. It wasn't because the words on the note made me wary, but because I felt that even if I told Fourth Uncle, he wouldn't let me go.

In Dai language, it also has the meaning of jade, meaning precious pearl in the palm. I followed her back to Ruili City, and along the way we asked her a lot of questions about Xu Jun, but Sister Xiang didn't know anything about him, and I also didn't find any useful clues in his house. I was very disappointed, and after hastily bidding farewell, I went to Rui Li City to find Zhenyuan Jade Ore Group.

The person who received me was the Vice-President of the company. After knowing that I was Chen Yihuo's grandson, he anxiously asked me if I knew where the old man was.

I shook my head and said that it was also because there was no news from the old man that I came here. What was going on at that time?

The Vice President sighed and told me what had happened. The reason was that half a month ago, Zhen Yuan Jade Stone Group had purchased a batch of stones from Myanmar.

The so-called stone material was the jade's ore. After that, he placed the ore in the company's jade shop to sell. It was called the Stone of Gamble!

Stone gambling was an extremely stimulating form of gambling. There was a saying among the people, 'one cut is poor and one cut is rich'. A single strike could pierce through sackcloth. It was a saying about the rise and fall of stone gambling!

He could spend very little money to cut open the raw stone materials and exchange it for priceless precious jade, but he would also spend all his family property to cut out of the stone materials and leave nothing behind. Some people were rich overnight, while others went bankrupt.

They suspected that there was a problem with the jade mine in Myanmar, but the seller refused to admit to it. That's why the two companies had a dispute, which was why Zhen Yuan asked for my grandpa to be appraised.

At this point, I interjected, "Why did your company suddenly think of asking my grandfather to appraise it?"

"It wasn't us who invited him, Mr. Chen. To be honest, we could have gone through the legal process to fight this case, but the other party made conditions for us to request for old man Chen Yihuo to appraise the jade circle. The person in the jade circle knew that the old man was an expert, so we invited him to go with us to Myanmar."

I feel a little surprised, why did the other party specifically ask Zhenyuan group to invite my grandfather out?

After arriving at Rui Li, the old man went to Myanmar with the Zhen Yuan Group's boss, but this time, the connection was completely broken. After Zhen Yuan Group called the police, they found out that the jade company in Myanmar was actually registered with the British.

Charles?

When I heard the name, I felt that it sounded familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere before. After thinking about it carefully, my heart skipped a beat.

When I was looking at that list of names, although I had only skimmed through it, I could still remember a lot of the names, especially the names of the foreigners who were very eye-catching, Charles was one of them!

The Fourth Uncle said that in 1976, four people came out of the drilling team, one was British and the other three were Chinese. Could it be that Charles was that English person?

If Charles really was that Englishman, then working with Zhenyuan Group was a trap. His goal was to lure the Old Master out.

Could it be that the strange person who infiltrated Fourth Uncle's house that night was sent by Charles?

F * ck, what the hell was this foreigner doing with his neck buried?

I couldn't figure it out, so I could only suppress the thoughts in my heart and continue listening to the vice president's narration. According to what the vice president said, Zhenyuan Group is a company with a clan inheritance, boss Ji Xiang is a woman around my age, after the disappearance of the connection, Charles's company also disappeared in Myanmar.

Exactly what happened to the drilling team that year, why is it that even after so many years had passed, Charles still could not forget about it?

Could it be that the drilling team back then had already discovered something, but only four people managed to escape in the end, while Charles kept thinking about what he had discovered, so he set up a trap to deceive the old man, and then entered Wild Mountain together?

Thinking of this, I asked the Vice President in a measured tone, "Have you ever heard of Wild Mountain?"

The vice president's expression immediately changed: "Mr. Chen, how do you know about Wild Mountain?"

"The company has sent many people to Myanmar to cooperate with the local police investigation. From the limited information we have gathered, the last place they appeared before they disappeared was in the port of Mu-jie City."

"Sis Mu?"

I know this place. Isn't it just a city across the river from Burma?

The Ruili River separated the two cities. Upstream was the notice of a sister, and downstream was Myanmar. And in the middle of the river was the Salvin River.

"What are you doing in the port of Mujie City?" I hastily asked, faintly feeling that I was close to the answer.

The Vice Chairman sighed, "The police found out from the port's shipyard that Charles's men rented two cargo ships to leave the river, their destination is the Ghost Mountain!"

"Ghost Mountain?"

I am a little confused, how did he come to talk about a ghost mountain?

The Deputy Chief immediately explained, "The Wild Mountain is also known as the Ku Men Mountains, but in the eyes of us Rui Li people, it is the Ghost Mountains.

I stared at him. "Do you believe in ghosts?"

The Deputy CEO smiled awkwardly, "We would rather believe it. We've already sent people out to investigate. I believe we'll soon find out about their news."

I do not hold much hope for this sentence. If he really could bring back so casually, Charles would not have wasted so much effort. But, what makes me feel slightly gratified is that the old man did indeed lose contact after going to the Wild Mountain.

I was only guessing before, but I didn't dare to be sure. Now that I have confirmed it, I can't waste any more time, I have to immediately gather people to go onto the Wild Mountain to rescue the old man. The longer I delay, the more dangerous it becomes!

After leaving the Zhenyuan Group, I hesitated for a long time, but still couldn't tell Fourth Uncle about Charles. The Fourth Uncle was resourceful, and I had sent someone to ask in advance, so it is very possible that he already knew about Charles, and even knew that the old man had disappeared from the Wild Mountain.

When I went back to the hotel, I was thinking about how I should get my hands on the Wild Mountain when I suddenly saw a slip of paper under the door. At first, I thought it was a special service card, but when I squatted down to take a closer look, my face paled.

Swish!

I jerked my head back to look at the hotel corridor, but there was no sign of him. I looked back at the note in my hand and thought, Could this guy have been following me all this time?

How else would he know I'd come to Riley's room and still be in the hotel?

Or maybe he's been watching me?

Thinking of this, the veins on my forehead bulged, and as I looked at the slip of paper in my hands, my wrist trembled. When you knew that you were being watched at all times, the anger in your heart could be imagined.

"Who the hell are you?"

I called out to the empty hallway, but there was no response. I opened the door and entered the room, glancing down at the slip of paper.
