Chapter 452: He is Ye Chen
"Grandfather, I did manage to purchase the Jade Ring, but on my way out, I was targeted and, as a result, the Jade Ring has been stolen by someone."
"What did you say? The Jade Ring was snatched away? And the two people with you, are they useless? What were they doing?"
"Grandfather, they tried their best to stop it from happening, but the other party’s martial arts skills were too strong, and they were no match, resulting in a quick defeat."
"Do you realize what the Jade Ring means to our family? I entrusted you with such an important task in hopes that you could handle it well, but you have truly let me down."
"Grandfather, rest assured, I’m already thinking of a solution."
"Thinking of a solution? What solution could you possibly have? You are completely unfamiliar with Jiangzhou, you’ve never made contacts there, and the network of relationships is extremely intricate. The only reason I haven’t intervened is because I was worried about attracting their attention. Now it seems I’ll have to step in after all."
It was evident from the phone call that Guo Tao was indeed disappointed.
"Grandfather, I’ve met someone here who is quite enthusiastic about my issue. He has promised to help me retrieve the Jade Ring, so I think we should wait a little longer. If it really doesn’t work out, then it won’t be too late for you to intervene, right?"
"What? You’ve met someone? You’ve only arrived in Jiangzhou yesterday, how could you have made a new acquaintance so quickly? He’s probably a swindler. You never fail to worry me. Let me handle it instead."
"Grandfather, honestly, I can feel that this person is definitely not tricking me. I could swear on my life that there won’t be any problem."
