“Travel light and only pack the essentials. We can buy anything else we need once we arrive!”


    “Absolutely!” ine eximed, her excitement palpable. “Now hurry up and finish what you’re doing. I’m going to start packing my things!”


    After ending the call, ine quickly dialed charlie Wade.


    charlie Wade was currently at the vi on the Champs-élysées, nestled in the mountains. His grandfather and two uncles were deep in discussion about an investment opportunity in Eastcliff. They had specifically asked charlie Wade to spend more time with the elderlydy of the family. Conveniently, Nanako was busy practicing her spiritual energy control at another vi, so charlie Wade hade to this one.


    He had initially intended to return to the city shortly to pick up ire from her workce and enjoy dinner together. However, ine’s call changed those ns. “Good son-inw, your dad has something to attend to tonight,” she said. “He won’t be home for dinner. He’s heading to Dubai tomorrow morning, so I need to pack. How about you and ire order dinner and have it sent home?”<fn93e3> This text is hosted at find·novel</fn93e3><h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Curious, charlie Wade responded, “Didn’t Dad mention that things here aren’t settled yet? Why is he leaving tomorrow?”


    ine replied with a smile, “I’m not sure about his ns, but he just called to say there’s a business deal he needs to discuss tonight. Whether it goes through or not depends on how things unfold. Regardless, we’re leaving tomorrow morning.” Instantly, charlie Wade understood that his father-inw likely had something nned against Zhou Liangyun that evening.


    Although he was unsure of the specifics of their scheme, charlie Wade felt reassured. After all, both Jacob and Zhang Ermao (Cade) were rtively insignificantpared to Zhou Liangyun.


    His only concern was that they might act hically and gather a group to confront Zhou Liangyun. Despite Zhou Liangyun’s worldly experience, he was still a frail middle-aged man with limited fighting skills. Considering the many thugs under Zhang Ermao (Cade), even they, along with Jacob, could easily overpower Zhou Liangyun. Therefore, charlie Wade decided to quietly head to Antique Street to keep an eye on the situation. He nned to intervene only if necessary.


    With this thought, he told ine, “Mom, I won’t be home for dinner tonight. I’ll let ire know, so you two can order something to eat.”


    ine didn’t mind much; she was primarily concerned that charlie Wade wouldn’t have anything to eat when he returned and might be disappointed. Since he wouldn’t be home, she felt it was fine to proceed without him.


    “Alright, good son-inw! Since you have your own things to take care of, go ahead and do what you need to do. I’ll call ire and see what she wants to order for us!”


    “Sounds good, Mom.”


    After hanging up, charlie Wade said goodbye to his grandmother and drove to Antique Street.


    Upon arriving, he wandered around with a mask on and located Zhou Liangyun’s shop, “Zhen Baoxuan.”


    Currently, “Zhen Baoxuan” had no sign up, and only Zhou Liangyun was busy organizing the space. There were just old shelves and disy cabs; no products were avable for sale yet. It seemed like it would take a month or two before the shop was fully operational again, as Zhou Liangyun needed time to prepare.


    Rather than disturb him, charlie Wade chose a nearby teahouse diagonally across the street. He found a seat on the second floor with a great view, ordered a pot of Biluochun tea, and settled in to wait, eager to see what schemes his father-inw and the troublesome Zhang Ermao (Cade) were concocting.


    As the clock struck six-thirty in the evening, darkness began to fall.


    A hurried figure dashed into Antique Street.


    This individual headed straight for Ji Qingtang, located at the heart of the antique district.


    At that moment, the manager of Ji Qingtang, Chen Yufei, was observing the store alongside a few clerks. A handful of customers were browsing, but Chen Yufei was anxiously awaiting the arrival of the messenger sent by Zhang Ermao (Cade).


    Just a few minutester, a figure rushed in. As soon as he entered, he eagerly inquired, “Is the boss here? Are we buying antiques at our store?”


    “Yes, we are! We certainly are!” Chen Yufei responded enthusiastically, asking, “What do you have in mind to sell?”


    The man scanned the room, then produced an item wrapped in red silk from his pocket. Carefully, he opened a corner to reveal a glimpse of whaty inside, then quickly covered it again, whispering, “This is a valuable piece, but I’m unsure if you can handle it.”


    Chen Yufei smiled confidently and replied, “If it’s something that Ji Qingtang can’t take, then I doubt anyone else in Jinling can!”
