At that moment, Charlie felt like his brain was experiencing a short circuit.


    It appeared that Zhou Liangyun was likely in Aurous Hill due to some arrangements, with the orchestrator probably being his father, who had passed away twenty years ago.


    This realization filled Charlie with an inexplicable sense of tension and oppression. What truly happened to his parents back then? Their tragic fate not only led to their deaths but also involved borate nning for him even before the incident urred.


    When the unfortunate event surrounding his parents took ce, Stephen Thompson promptly ensured his safety at the orphanage, following a n that his father had set in motion long before. To Charlie’s surprise, his father had arranged for someone named Zhou to remain at the orphanage for nearly two decades, only toter orchestrate a situation for himself in Aurous Hill. As he pondered this, he feltpelled to reach out again and call Jasmine Moore, needing to rify another pressing question.


    Once the call connected, Jasmine Moore respectfully inquired from the other end, “Master Wade, have you gone through the information I sent earlier? Do you have any questions?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    “Yes,” Charlie replied. “It’s not about that. I need to confirm something with you.”


    “Of course, Master Wade. What is it?” Jasmine responded quickly.


    “Regarding the jade pot spring bottle that my father-inw identally shattered, do you know how it ended up with Ji Qingtang? Did Ji Qingtang retrieve it themselves, or was it consigned to them by someone else?”


    Jasmine paused thoughtfully before answering, “If I recall correctly, the jade pot and spring bottle were taken back by Manager Zhou a month after he started working there. He helped Ji Qingtang recover many antiques, but most were rather ordinary and not particrly valuable. However, the jade pot and spring vase were considered the most exceptional among them.”


    “So, it was him who brought it back…” Charlie murmured. “Did he mention where he got it from?”


    After a moment of thought, Jasmine replied, “At that time, he said it came from a friend of his who was in need of money and decided to part with it. The price was quite reasonable, around four to five million in market value, with auction potential reaching five to six million. However, that person’s offer was below four million, making it a profitable deal, which is why I approved him to take it back.”


    “I see,” Charlie nodded to himself, realizing this oue was not unexpected. It seemed that Zhou Liangyun had specifically traveled to Aurous Hill to secure a position at Ji Qingtang and had introduced the jade pot spring vase at a low price, all for the sake of advancing his own interests. This was part of arger scheme to acquire the “Nine Mysterious Heavenly Scriptures.”


    Now, the pressing question remained: was the “Nine Mysterious Heavenly Scriptures” something that his father had intended for him?


    If his father had indeed possessed the “Nine Mysterious Heavenly Scriptures” at that time, why had he never practiced any of its techniques?<fnc9e5> ???s ??????? ?s ?????? ?? Find~Novel</fnc9e5>


    As these thoughts swirled in his mind, Charlie felt increasingly trapped by the weight of the revtions.


    Meanwhile, Jasmine Moore, sensing his distress, asked with concern, “Master Wade, why are you suddenly so interested in the jade pot and spring bottle? Is something wrong?”


    Charlie quickly reassured her, “No, everything’s fine. I just had a sudden thought about it.”<h3 ss="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
