Chapter 170: Chapter 148: Qin’s Bright Moon, General’s Treasures (Seeking Subscriptions, Seeking Monthly Pass)

"Ziwen, with Mr. Ren’s assistance, was like Xuande meeting Zhuge: he suddenly broke through the clouds and saw the sun, and the dark willows lit up with bright flowers again,"

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass on the eighteenth floor of Tai’an Building, Chen Ziwen held a telescope and looked at the bustling scene inside the Triumphal Restaurant two kilometers away, and he couldn’t help but sigh.

Yet his eyes could not help but show a hint of excitement.

"Between planning strategies and deciding victory from a thousand miles away, the ancient Strategists were nothing more than this."

Standing beside him, the middle-aged man in glasses with his hands behind his back, smiled wryly upon hearing this, "I dare not compare myself to Mr. Wolong; it was merely exploiting an informational advantage...

Taking advantage of the fact that the Dongjiang Official Government and your respected father had not fully realized the value of that object, I took the initiative to plan and act swiftly, launching a surprise attack. Still, it was not a great skill."

However, young master, your decision to let the Poisonous Snake Society take direct action was somewhat poorly executed."

"It was Ziwen acting hastily, I didn’t anticipate that Zhou Ping’an would be so fierce and decisively ruthless, ready to fight back desperately upon spotting something wrong..."

Recalling the tragic fate of the main figures at Hongxing Underground Boxing Gym, Chen Ziwen felt another pang of heartache.

That place was not only a great helper for his affairs but also a gold mine that made him a fortune every day; to see it so easily destroyed in one fell swoop, was more than his family could bear.

The financial loss was one thing, but the loss of this key support significantly lowered his status in his father’s eyes.

After the incident, the old man at home did nothing but scold him a few times, not even showing his face, only reminding him to hide and avoid causing more trouble, or else he would take back his authority to manage family affairs.

Is this how you treat a successor to the family?

At the bottom of Chen Ziwen’s heart, doubts inevitably arose, but silently growing fierce didn’t help at all.

Especially when he learned that his half-brother Chen Zihua, under the same father, was being personally tutored by the old man, his sense of crisis maxed out.

The old man’s health was gradually getting worse year by year. Even with extravagant wealth and various rare resources...

But having overexerted in his youth, he damaged his vital energy, and now in his seventies or eighties, he was clearly near his end.

How many more years he could hold on was anyone’s guess.

"Mr. Ren, are you confident that this time we will definitely succeed and capture Zhou Ping’an?"

Thinking this, Chen Ziwen felt another wave of anxiety.

He couldn’t help but look back.

He always felt something was off.

Perhaps it was the ruthless and murderous tactics shown in that live video, which left him somewhat apprehensive, ultimately casting a slight shadow in his mind.

If that man is not eliminated, it’s simply impossible to sleep peacefully.

"Young master, there’s no need to worry. If we fail to capture Zhou Ping’an this time, the dozen elite bodyguards you keep by your side will not be much help either."

Ren Changxing laughed softly; he knew exactly what the young master Chen Ziwen was thinking.

This person had both frantic and cowardly traits in his character. On the surface, he seemed like a reckless scion with no grand aspirations, but beneath the surface, he was exceedingly cautious and strategic.

Yet, when a true opportunity arose, he would stake everything, betting all his resources.

Tampering in the laboratories.

Using the Poisonous Snake Society, silently building up power, consolidating resources;

Everything was a gamble.

Gambling that before the old man took his last breath, he could seize the initiative and take control of the family’s billions in assets.

And now, launching all his forces, regardless of the cost, to seize that broken mirror first is yet another high-stakes gamble.

"That Broken Mirror must be obtained. Once you have it, young master, you’ll have a foundation to stand on, and you won’t have to look at anyone else’s face,"

Ren Changxing’s eyes gleamed with fervor, hidden beneath which was deep greed. He took a deep breath and said, "Think about it, why during the joint expedition into the Ancient Tomb by the three teams, not a single ancient jade or antique was lost? Even the seemingly most valuable Tiger Talisman and Treasure Sword were ignored, yet, just the two sections of Broken Mirror were missing."

"Could it be that Jacob and Dong Qingshan both realized at the same time that there was something strange about the mirror?"

Chen Ziwen was also puzzled.

He had also attended as one of the leaders of the three groups.

He had brought dozens of elite marksmen precisely to deal with the Human Figurines in the tomb.

It wasn’t an overreaction; those stone-carved human figurines were inexplicably fierce and extremely powerful.

During previous explorations, they lost nearly seventy lives without breaking through the obstruction to reach the coffin site.

Later, they gathered experts, archaeologists, and occult scholars to join the expedition.

Barely getting through the Human Figurines challenge, they obtained a massive number of ancient artifacts and precious gems, only for internal conflicts to erupt.

They hadn’t even left the General’s Tomb when they began to kill each other.

Recalling what happened then, Chen Ziwen took a deep breath, his complexion turning grim with lingering fear.

If there was another such operation, he would rather die than participate again.

Out of the nearly two hundred elite personnel from the three groups, less than ten survived.

If it were not for Ren Changxing’s prior warning, prompting him to dig a hiding spot in a corner of the tomb to survive the most dangerous moment, he would probably have been reduced to a pile of bones by now.
