Unbeknownst to him, the three million yuan offer was part of a scheme orchestrated by Charlie for Zhang Ermao (Cade). With an innocent tone, he attempted to exin, “Boss, I’m really not a thunder…”


    “Stop right there,” Zhang Ermao (Cade) interrupted, waving his hand in irritation. “To be honest, I quoted three million just to lure Lei Zi in. Anyone with real knowledge of antiques would scoff at that figure. I n to fully agree to the offer and use it as a chance to uncover more leads.”


    As he spoke, Zhang Ermao (Cade) added, “But let me be clear, your little trick won’t work on me!”


    Willie was left momentarily speechless.


    He had not anticipated that the three million yuan quote was part of a strategy.<fncd24> Discover more novels at FιndNovel</fncd24><h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    With his earlier suspicions in mind, Willie was convinced that this group was a criminal gang specializing in tomb raiding and selling stolen antiques, which made Zhang Ermao (Cade)’s statements all the more believable.


    He thought to himself that a criminal organization capable of enduring would surely be cautious and shrewd, armed with numerous counter-surveince tactics, and would maintain a fa?ade of legitimacy.


    Considering the stringent and careful structure of the CCP, Willie had little doubt about Zhang Ermao (Cade)’s behavior.


    As the situation unfolded, Willie grew increasingly concerned that Zhang Ermao (Cade) would misinterpret his intentions. With an apologetic smile, he quickly rified, “Boss, you’ve really misunderstood me. I’m not Lei Zi. I genuinely want to purchase something valuable…”


    “Alright, alright,” Zhang Ermao (Cade) replied dismissively. “You can say whatever you want. You like good things, right? If that’s the case, go ahead and shop in the antique street. Just don’t dy my business.” Noticing that Zhang Ermao (Cade) was uninterested in his exnation and was trying to usher him away, Willie felt a surge of anger, wishing he could just p Zhang Ermao (Cade) right then and there.


    In that moment, he even considered simply seizing the lightning strike wood!


    However, he quickly dismissed those thoughts.


    Willie was acutely aware of his mission in Aurous Hill.


    His directive was to eliminate An’s family and wait for Bruce Wade’s son to appear, a death order issued by the British lord.


    Upon arriving in Aurous Hill, he should have immediately set about fulfilling his task, but instead, he had gone straight to the antique street.


    If any trouble arose from this, and it reached the ears of the Lord Ying, he would have no justification.


    Thus, Uncle Willie could only stifle his frustration and spoke to Zhang Ermao (Cade) in a nearly pleading manner, “Brother, you’ve really misunderstood me. If you don’t trust me, just give me your bank ount number. I’ll transfer the three million to you directly! The Lei Zi you mentioned wouldn’t actually spend three million on your antiques, would he?”


    “Who knows?” Zhang Ermao (Cade) replied, rolling his eyes. “I’m not aw enforcement officer. I haven’t encountered him before. What’s the point of you sending me the money? If you are really Lei Zi, that money would be mission funds, and you wouldn’t need to pay it yourself. Once I ept the money, I’d be guilty of illegally reselling antiques. At that moment, when your police badge is shown, I’d be arrested, handcuffed, and everything you sent me would be confiscated. I’d be the one left crying behind bars. What are you trying to do to me?”


    “You… why won’t you get it?!” Willie eximed, stamping his feet in frustration.


    He never expected Zhang Ermao (Cade) to be so overly cautious—perhaps even too careful.


    No matter what he said, Zhang Ermao (Cade) remained disbelieving, refusing to ept his offer to send money. This left Willie feeling like he had no opportunity to negotiate!


    In his heart, he cursed angrily, “Damn it, if it weren’t for thew, I would have ripped your head off!”
