But now he doesn't dare to argue or fight anymore, because this matter involves human lives, and it's multiple murder cases, which have already crossed the legal boundaries.

Next, Su Jinyuan and Liu Ming 'negotiated', hoping to come up with a perfect solution; otherwise, this matter will escalate to the central hub, and Liu Ming's downfall will be inevitable. Su Jinyuan doesn't need Liu Ming to step down because Liu Ming can still be controlled by him now. If Liu Ming steps down and some more difficult opponents are transferred in, it will be even more troublesome.

As for how to negotiate, naturally, Su Jinyuan replaced the people in Mao Zhan with his men to stabilize his absolute position in the Nanyue faction. In addition, he let Liu Ming assist him in entering the central hub, and Liu Ming's verbal cooperation with Jiangsu and Zhejiang became a waste of paper.

Although Su Jinyuan's demands were excessive, Liu Ming agreed because he was not content with being just the second-in-command as governor; he also wanted to taste what it's like to be the secretary.

So he could only agree to Su Jinyuan; otherwise, if Su Jinyuan exposed these matters, he would definitely have to step down.

...

Ye Hao didn't look into the matters happening at the provincial committee. Anyway, as long as the elite family could have the opportunity to enter the Mao Zhan area, it would be alright.

The day after Ye Hao provided information to Su Jinyuan, he called upon Zheng Guang, He Hua, two innate experts, Tao Feng, Yang Ya, two national martial arts twelfth degree experts, and Flying Fish, this national martial arts eighth degree, along with Lu Yunsong to head to Nanling.

As for Sun Mei, this innate expert was arranged by Ye Hao to stay beside Lin Ruyu to protect Lin Ruyu and the other woman while traveling.

Ye Hao was eager to lead people to Nanling because Lv Dong told him those people had already dug close to Zhu Yuanzhang's tomb.

Ye Hao didn't mind if he didn't know about the tomb raiding, but once he knew, he certainly wouldn't let others take away the country's heritage so openly.

Although Ye Hao had selfish motives, he didn't greedily want to take away all those treasures worth a fortune. At least Ye Hao still had some conscience and planned to leave some antiquities for the country.

If those tomb raiders took them, nothing valuable would be left.

"Young Master, have you found ancestors wanting me to protect Ming Taizu's tomb?" Flying Fish was driving while Zheng Guang and Ye Hao sat behind. Zheng Guang asked.

"Hmm! Found it, North View of Xiao and Xiang, South View Yuedong, left neighbor Yuedong, and right adjacent to Ganjiang River, in the land of hidden dragons and tigers in Nanling." Ye Hao replied with a smile.

"Young Master..."

"Elder Zheng, if you have something to say, just say it!" Ye Hao, seeing Zheng Guang's hesitation, said.

"Young Master, I want to say, if we open Ming Taizu's tomb, I hope everyone won't disturb Ming Taizu's rest. After all, he is the master my ancestors protected." Zheng Guang said.

"Elder Zheng, you didn't mention it, but I won't disturb Ming Taizu's remains either. After all, he was our predecessor, and I wouldn't do such a rebellious thing." Ye Hao promised.

"Thank you, Young Master, thank you." Zheng Guang said gratefully.

"You're welcome." Ye Hao waved his hand.

The group quickly entered the Nanling area, but since many parts of the Nanling mountains have no roads, they had to climb over mountains to choose a shorter route.

Ye Hao led the eight of them swiftly over the mountains, directly reaching the place Lv Dong had arranged.

At this moment, Lv Dong was not in the mountains but residing in a nearby small town.

He has recently entered the mountains only occasionally because more and more experts are flooding the nearby area. Ye Hao brought two innate experts this time precisely to prevent any major changes.

After arriving at the nearby mountains, Ye Hao inspected the terrain and then called Lv Dong.

Once the call connected, Ye Hao asked, "Dong, where are you?"

"Boss, have you guys arrived?" At this time, Lv Dong, who was in the nearby small town, asked.

"Already inside the mountains. I'll give you the coordinates, come over here." Ye Hao asked Lv Dong for the locator device number.

Then both locator devices connected.

This is a new product from the elite family; it allows mutual visibility within a hundred kilometers, but beyond this range, their signal source cannot be captured.

Upon receiving Ye Hao and their location, Lv Dong said to Ye Hao, "Boss, I'll head over now."

"Hmm! Be careful not to be discovered." Ye Hao reminded Lv Dong.

Lv Dong nodded and responded, then packed his equipment and dressed in pale green clothes quickly moving toward Ye Hao's location.

At this moment, eight powerful red-clothed men arrived at the mountain behind Zhu Yuanzhang's tomb. Their aura was strong, and they wore golden masks on their faces, looking at the three mountain guardians who were reporting.

"Guardian, Zhu Yuanzhang's tomb is just behind this mountain. Our people have already dug the tunnel to the foot of this mountain. In three days, we will definitely open this passage and enter Zhu Yuanzhang's tomb from above." One of the mountain guardians reported nervously to the eight guardians.

"Has anyone unusual come to scout?" The man wearing a golden mask asked coldly.

"Yes, but that guy was dealt with by us."

The middle-aged man with the golden mask furrowed his brow at the words, asking, "What kind of guy?"

"About one meter seventy, somewhat robust, but similar to an average person. He came a few times, only saying he wanted to take photos, but we dealt with him, and he hasn't appeared during this time." The mountain guardian said.

"Keep a close watch, don't let anyone disturb us. If anything goes wrong, contact me immediately." Hearing the mountain guardian say the guy was an ordinary person, the middle-aged man with the golden mask eased his mind.

"Okay, Guardian, please take care." The three mountain guardians respectfully watched the eight golden-masked people leave.

After they left, one of the mountain guardians worriedly said, "The pressure from the Guardian is immense."

"Isn't it? I've heard that only national martial arts twelfth-degree experts can become Guardians." Another mountain guardian said with fear on his face.

He was only a tenth-degree national martial arts expert; wondering when he could get the twelfth degree was a distant future.

"Ah! We can only look up to those above the Guardian rank." Another mountain guardian said helplessly.

Later, they each went to their posts to guard the mountains, lest someone slip through the cracks.

...

Ye Hao and Zheng Guang and others waited for Lv Dong at a small mountain col in the mountains for half an hour before Lv Dong used the trees' cover to approach Ye Hao's group.

Lv Dong arrived and hurriedly greeted Ye Hao.

Ye Hao asked, "Dong, about where have they dug the tunnel by now?"

Upon hearing this, Lv Dong took out a map from his backpack, a map he had invited someone to draw.

And he had marked several red points on the map himself. (To be continued. If you like this work, you're welcome to come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com for reading.)
