Chapter 1121: Chapter 586: This South American Jade Tablet, why does it look so familiar?_3

"Even if there were problems, Sean Knight could smooth them over!"

But this place was different.

Even if, according to Sean Knight’s plan, the security force here was increased to five hundred people, it wouldn’t be possible to fully control over 100,000 hectares of farmland—after all, managing farmland wasn’t just about security personnel.

Putting down that report, Sean Knight stood up, considering whether to implement it according to what the report suggested.

After thinking it over, he felt he still needed to investigate the area before deciding. Many people nearby had sold their land and then used the money to live in the city. Most of those who remained were people without much ambition, and likely didn’t have the ability to contract their own land.

To implement this plan, he’d need to get a good grasp on the local situation first.

Then he took out the Jade Tablet again, admiring it carefully.

The jade quality wasn’t particularly good, but it had been steeped in time, its surface patina rich, giving it an extraordinary look.

Suddenly, Sean Knight thought of something—the Maya Society, unlike civilizations like China or Egypt, hadn’t formed a large unified nation, and one very important reason was the lack of iron and copper mines here.

There was plenty of gold, but it was only a relative amount. Gold was also quite soft, not suitable for making tools and weaponry.

That is why the Maya Society existed in the form of individual tribes.

Whether this made sense or not, Sean Knight didn’t know, but what he did know was that, including the Maya Society, other civilizations like the Aztec Clan and the Inca hadn’t unearthed many metal utensils—apart from gold.

But the jade ware found here, bearing carvings similar to Oracle Bone Script, was a bit special!

After all, apart from the Chinese civilization, no other civilization that used jade ware on a large scale had been discovered.

Could it be...?

Sean Knight didn’t think further on it, deciding to wait for the outcome instead.

Five days later, Leng Ru Bing wrote two reports for Sean Knight, and then, after Elijah Hastings made a phone call, having cut off Japan’s base and obtained a large quantity of documents, Sean Knight released her.

"Now you’ve proven that the intelligence you provided is real," Sean Knight told Leng Ru Bing, "so you’re free now. You can go to finance and get some money, and then you can leave."

Although Leng Ru Bing had been executing a plan against him, she hadn’t actually caused any harm, and moreover, she had provided a lot of very important intelligence.

To say that her merits compensated for her faults was not an exaggeration, so Sean Knight had no intention of keeping her.

"I’m not leaving." Unexpectedly, Leng Ru Bing shook her head, "Please, don’t make me leave here... Now that Saint Paul’s base has been cleared, and Japan’s base is also gone, many people within China who had connections with Japan have also been dealt with—

They will definitely think that these pieces of information were leaked from me. So the moment I leave here, I’m sure to be in danger!"

She made a few valid points, Sean Knight thought.

"But if you stay, we can’t trust you!" Sean Knight was also troubled, "After doing something like this once, it’s hard for us to trust you again..."

"I won’t make such a stupid mistake again!" Leng Ru Bing pleaded desperately, "You know I’m most afraid of dying, I realize my mistake now, believe me! I also know some other pieces of intelligence, just give me some time, I can remember..."

Hearing this, Sean Knight hesitated.

"I can also help you manage the farmland... It doesn’t have to be much, just a small piece is enough! I can definitely manage the farmland well!" Leng Ru Bing earnestly showcased her abilities:

"Oh, and I’ve studied the local history and culture, so if you don’t want me to manage the farmland, give me a bit of time, I can find relics here..."

"You’re knowledgeable about the local history and culture?" Sean Knight was intrigued, "Come, help me look at this item."

He took out the Jade Tablet.

"This is... a Jade Tablet?" Leng Ru Bing looked at the Jade Tablet, somewhat surprised, "Could it be... unearthed here?"

Indeed she was clever!

"Yes," Sean Knight nodded, "It shouldn’t be unearthed here according to logic. But a local resident gave this to me, and I’m a bit perplexed because he said it was picked up from the jungle nearby."

"Is it possible that someone obtained this Jade Tablet decades or centuries ago and brought it here?" Leng Ru Bing speculated, "It doesn’t seem like it’s from here, but rather like something from China..."

"Impossible," Sean Knight shook his head, "This item was unearthed here... You know what, let’s go there for an excavation in a few days, you’ll join us."

"Alright," Leng Ru Bing’s face lit up with joy, "I will definitely try my best to find the reason!"

After that, she bowed deeply and left on her own initiative.

When Sky Eye was activated, Sean Knight saw that Leng Ru Bing indeed went straight back to her house and stayed there.

In these few days, she really just stayed there without a mobile phone, and didn’t contact anyone.

She wrote and painted when she was idle, without a hint of anything unusual.

Had she really changed for the better?

Five days later, Elijah Hastings and his team returned to the courtyard.

New construction had already begun here.

More and more people brought by Sean Knight were arriving, necessitating a lot of houses even if they were to live separately. There were many vacant houses owned by locals, but the security personnel needed to live together, so Sean Knight simply bought the land near the courtyard and started building houses.

"Boss," with all three men present in the house, Elijah Hastings took the lead in reporting:

"This time when we went there, we took down the base, seven people were eliminated. However, we also sustained three injuries... The team members have been properly taken care of now. Additionally, we seized a large quantity of documents, which need to be thoroughly collated."

"Alright," Sean Knight nodded, "Lincoln Harrington, collating the documents will be your responsibility. We need to keep this matter somewhat confidential.

Douglas, stay here and handle the farmland. Elijah, take a few people with you tomorrow, and we’ll go looking for tombs or ruin sites..."

"You’ve got a new discovery, boss?" Douglas Cooper perked up at the mention of searching for tombs, "Take me with you?"

"You just stay here," Sean Knight didn’t agree, "There’s a lot going on with the farmland recently; Someone must stay... Besides, it’s not a major tomb. We’ve found something interesting there, which is why I’m going...
