Under the sunlight, the surface of those three jade pendants started flowing rapidly as if they were molten water.

Even more eerie, the surface of the jade pendants quickly emitted a series of seven-colored lights, circling around the jade pendants.

Within just a few seconds, each jade pendant changed its color.

The three jade pendants turned red, yellow, and green respectively.

"Is this the Seven-colored Lotus Jade?" Zhou Huairen's face flushed with excitement.

Ye Guichen asked, "Mr. Zhou, do you know about these jade pendants?"

"I know, I know. Legend has it that these jade pendants are very rare, typically found in the depths of magma. After being constantly refined by magma, they form a shape resembling a lotus flower. Once exposed to sunlight, they emit seven-colored lights, dazzlingly brilliant."

"This kind of jade is absolutely priceless. There are even rumors that if one could gather seven pieces, it could extend life and even resurrect the dead."

Upon mentioning this, Zhou Huairen seemed to remember something suddenly, hurriedly stuffing the jade pendants into Ye Guichen's hand, "Mr. Ye, there are many legends about these jade pendants. I used to take them as mere legends, but it looks like these jade pendants truly exist now. Since there are three pieces here, there is a high possibility that the remaining four pieces can still be found. These jade pendants are priceless treasures, but because of this, they also bring disaster."

Recalling that his granddaughter almost lost her life due to the jade pendants, Zhou Huairen, filled with lingering fear, said, "So, if you trust me, heed my advice: deal with these three jade pendants as soon as possible."

Seeing Zhou Huairen's sincere expression, devoid of any greed despite the immense value of the three pieces of jade, and considering his interests, Ye Guichen nodded, "Mr. Zhou, I understand. I'll take my leave now; please take good care of Qing'er. I'll visit her when I have time."

"Sure, sure." Zhou Huairen expressed his gratitude, "Mr. Ye, you are the savior of our grandfather and granddaughter. If you need anything, do let me know. Although I'm old, I still have some connections in Yun City."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Zhou." Ye Guichen did not stand on ceremony, bidding farewell and leaving the hospital.

Just as Ye Guichen was leaving, a business car slowly followed him.

The windows of the business car were all black, making it impossible to see inside from the outside.

Inside the business car sat four or five burly men.

Each of them had fierce expressions, and two of them were bandaged.

The two bandaged ones were among those injured by Ye Guichen in the alley earlier.

"Buddha, that kid ambushed us, injuring several of our brothers. Damn, I didn't expect him to have two more jade pendants." One of them, with a cast on his arm, said through gritted teeth while looking at Ye Guichen's back.

Next to him sat a bald man, bare-chested with a tattoo of a skull necklace on his neck.

"Heh, looks like it's my lucky day. Initially, I just wanted to get one jade pendant, but now three have appeared. Truly, heaven helps me." The bald man, known as Buddha, laughed, saying to the bandaged man, "Alright, you're a real waste. It's bad enough that you were ambushed by a greenhorn, but to get injured like this— Damn, if I weren't in a good mood today, I'd throw you into Qianjiang to feed the fish."

"Y-yes, Buddha." The burly man dared not argue, nodding repeatedly.

Buddha snorted, continuing, "But from what you're saying, this kid seems to have some skill. Get me more brothers, and you personally run to inform Brother Long about this."

"Got it, understood." The burly man hurriedly agreed and got out of the car.

Buddha instructed the driver, "Follow slowly, no rush."

After speaking, Buddha slowly raised his hands, covering them fully with finger rings.

The finger rings were forged from refined steel, stained with blood, a clear sign Buddha had killed many using them.

A dozen minutes later, the bandaged man arrived at a private room in an R-style restaurant.

Inside the private room sat two men.

One was Longteng Group's Long Zixiang, and the other man, if Chen Longxiang saw him, he would surely recognize— it was the Brother Long he hung out with.

Brother Long, now dressed in a suit, still had eyeliner on, with a three-petal cherry blossom tattoo on his left cheek.

He was holding a steel fork, eating a piece of raw beef.

As he chewed, the blood from the beef slid down his mouth, releasing a strong smell.

Seated opposite him, Long Zixiang twitched the corner of his mouth, nearly gagging.

Long Zixiang liked beef, but it had to be at least medium-rare, yet this guy was eating it completely raw as if he was enjoying it.

"Are you really my brother?" Long Zixiang suppressed his disgust, cautiously asking.

Brother Long, while chewing the beef and drinking red wine, casually said, "Absolutely. Heh, Zixiang, though we are not of the same mother, we share the same father. Why would I lie to you?"

"Well, then you…" Long Zixiang was about to ask further when someone knocked on the door.

Brother Long glanced at the door, "Come in."

In a moment, the bandaged man walked in.

The bandaged man glanced at Long Zixiang, hesitating to speak.

Brother Long, still eating, said vaguely, "Oh, no worries. He's my brother. Speak freely."

The bandaged man dared not delay and quickly recounted the events of the jade pendant robbery, also mentioning Ye Guichen having three jade pendants. After speaking, he lowered his head, not daring to breathe.

Upon hearing this, Long Zixiang's pupils shrank suddenly, utterly shocked.

Despite being the spoiled son of Longteng Group, unaccustomed to murder and arson, Long Zixiang remained silent.

Brother Long's face was unchanged, as though even Qing'er's death was normal to him.

He dared not breathe loudly and simply listened quietly.

After hearing everything, Brother Long swallowed the last bite of beef, sizing up the bandaged man, "Despite saying so much, you still messed up the task, right?"

Upon hearing this, the bandaged man turned pale, kowtowing furiously, "Brother Long, we didn't expect a skillful kid to appear. We…"

"Messed up means messed up. Why say so much?"

Brother Long spoke while lifting the knife and fork used to slice the beef, suddenly slashing the bandaged man's neck.

Blood trickled down.

Within seconds, the bandaged man twitched twice, collapsing in a pool of blood.

"Ah… ugh!" Long Zixiang couldn't hold back and began vomiting.

Brother Long, as if he had done something trivial, cleaned his knife and fork on the man's corpse, then sat back in his seat and continued eating.
