The Beautiful CEO’s Dragon Blood Bodyguard
Chapter 1145: Reversing Time

Chapter 1145: Chapter 1145: Reversing Time

In the apartment building, Long Fei brought the three members of the Liuu Family out and hailed a taxi to come back.

The taxi driver saw Liuu Wenhan’s blood-drenched clothing and felt a chill on this late night; he also didn’t want his car to be stained with blood.

He originally didn’t want to take them, but Long Fei controlled his Divine Sense, and he willingly drove them back.

Long Fei wasn’t stingy with him; he left a thousand yuan on the front seat, enough to cover the cost of cleaning the car.

After he sobered up, he smelled the blood in the car and dumbfoundedly stammered, "Where is this, how did I end up here?"

When he saw the money on the seat, he hastily grabbed it and hurriedly drove off like a wisp of smoke.

After Liu Ruyan entered the house, she hurriedly prepared hot water for her father.

Mother Liuu assisted Liuu Wenhan to take a shower while she and Long Fei sat on the sofa to wait for a while.

Liuu Ruyan brewed some tea and handed a cup to Long Fei, full of gratitude she said, "Thank you, if it weren’t for you, my dad might not have made it through today."

Long Fei laughed and said, "Why be so formal with me, it was just a simple gesture. Besides, your dad’s matter is also related to me."

Without needing Liuu Wenhan to explain, Long Fei had already guessed it.

This matter must be related to the Imperial Jade Seal.

Liuu Wenhan was right; the innocent man is blameless, but he who carries the Jade is guilty.

Long Fei felt somewhat guilty, admitting he shouldn’t have carelessly left that item here, causing Liuu Wenhan to suffer this calamity.

Liuu Ruyan nodded her head, already unable to stop thinking about Long Fei, and now, because of this incident, she was even more concerned about him.

The two sat in silence for a while. She feared the awkwardness would set in, so she struck up a casual conversation, "People nowadays are really quite nice. My dad was all bloody just now, and I was worried that the taxi driver wouldn’t take us!"

"Yeah," Long Fei agreed with a laugh, not revealing the truth about what had happened.

At the car wash, the taxi driver yelled out, "Oh my gosh, which bastard did this to my car?!"

He remembered the bloody passenger and thought he had seen a ghost; a breeze blew by, and he couldn’t help but shiver.

After bathing, Liuu Wenhan changed into clean pajamas and came out.

Mother Liuu helped him sit down, and though he had fully recovered physically, he was still somewhat weak.

Upon seeing Long Fei, he immediately said with shame, "Brother Long, I’m sorry, I’ve lost your Jade Seal."

Long Fei calmly replied, "Uncle Liuu, don’t panic, let’s clarify what happened first. That Jade Seal isn’t really that important to me."

Liuu Wenhan said apologetically, "Yesterday after you left, I immediately contacted an old friend of mine, an elder in the antique circle, to help me take a look at it. His shop has a machine that can test the age of cultural relics. After the testing and analysis, it was indeed confirmed as an artifact from before the Qin dynasty. Furthermore, there was a strong magnetic field inside it that nearly destroyed the machine.

We were busy all night, and the next day he said he wanted to find someone else to take a look. I didn’t want anyone else to know, so I declined. I was carrying the item and riding my bike back home when suddenly a car came out of nowhere and knocked me down.

The rest you all know. The Jade Seal was definitely stolen when they felt me unconscious, someone got out of the car, took the Jade Seal, and drove away."

"Could it just have been an accident?"

Liuu Ruyan raised an eyebrow.

Liuu Wenhan shook his head, "Impossible, I was on the sidewalk when the accident happened, there was no traffic congestion, it must have been deliberate."

Long Fei frowned and asked, "What’s the name of this friend of yours? Where is his shop?"

Liuu Wenhan replied, "His name is Nangong Wen, he’s a well-known descendant of an aristocratic clan in this field whose ancestors have been dealing with cultural relics for generations. His shop is well-known in our city’s cultural relics circle, and the signboard reads Treasure Pavilion."

"Nangong?"

Long Fei frowned, suddenly recalling someone.

Back in the Guanzhong Tombs, the Nangong Family used their mastery of mechanisms to dominate other Treasure Hunter Commandants.

There was a man named Nangong Mu and his granddaughter Nangong Jingjing, who harbored ill intentions and were eventually killed by Long Fei.

He didn’t know what relationship this Nangong Wen had with the Nangong Clan that Liuu Wenhan spoke of?

Long Fei had Liuu Wenhan stay at home to recuperate, and immediately got up to find this Nangong Wen to ask some questions.

No one could keep secrets from him.

Liuu Ruyan wanted to go with him, saying that she knew where the shop was and could lead the way for Long Fei.

Long Fei didn’t refuse and took her with him.

Leaving the house, Long Fei used the Spatial Law to widen Liuu Ruyan’s horizons.

The world ahead seemed to twist, and they moved without wind, crossing distances of more than ten kilometers in a single step, which truly scared Liuu Ruyan.

A second ago, they were still in the residential area.

With Long Fei’s next step, they arrived in front of the antique street, an astonishing feat.

Fortunately, it was night; if it were during the day, it would have been shocking enough to make people ill.

The two found the Treasure Pavilion; the doors of the shop were closed, with a shop in the front and a small courtyard in the back.

Long Fei, taking Liuu Ruyan with him, seemed to pass through walls without damaging any locks and directly entered the shop.

Everything inside was neatly arranged—calligraphy, porcelain, antiques, everything was there, showing no signs of moving out.

He and Liuu Ruyan went to the backyard; the front was the shop, and the back was for living.

The items here were also neatly arranged without any signs of disturbance.

Clearly, no one had tampered with this place; at least thieves hadn’t targeted this shop, perhaps it really had something to do with Nangong Wen.

Liuu Ruyan looked around and opened a place that seemed to be a laboratory, introducing to Long Fei, "This is the machine that can test time, there’s only one set in Binhai City, and even the university laboratories don’t have it. To test items, we have to come here."

Nangong Wen was a good friend of her father, and he was usually nice to her and Mother Liuu, often visiting during holidays.

Long Fei touched the machine, closed his eyes, traced the origin, and used the Law of Time to reverse time.

The Time Law here caused a severe fluctuation, and even the wall clock began to turn backward.

Shadows flickered continuously in Long Fei’s mind until Nangong Wen appeared.

The truth quickly became clear, as Long Fei expected—Nangong Wen had indeed been greedy.

After Liuu Wenhan left, he made a phone call.

Soon a license plate-less SUV came to take the old man away overnight.

The vehicle looked just like the old-style Capital City jeep that Liuu Wenhan had remembered, almost indistinguishable from a scrapped car in appearance.

Liuu Ruyan quietly watched Long Fei at her side, and as soon as Long Fei opened his eyes, she immediately asked, "Brother Long, do you have any clues?"

"Got it!"

Long Fei smiled, patted her on the head, led her out, and along the direction the jeep had left, reversed time and gave chase.

For now, he could only see the temporal afterimages and was far from the ability to disturb spacetime and travel through major time gaps.

However, even so, it was enough to track down a thief.

The He Shi Jade was invaluable.

If it surfaced, its value would be immeasurable, a temptation that no one could resist.
