As soon as the words were spoken, everyone saw a pair of long, straight legs slowly step out from outside the door.

Immediately afterwards, Li Zhanfeng's cold and deep face was revealed.

The moment Li Zhanfeng saw Old Master Li, his stern gaze softened noticeably. When his eyes met Old Master Li's moved eyes, his heart felt as if it had been stabbed by something.

Five years ago, he chose to leave the Li family and the capital city because he was disgusted by the ugly infighting within the wealthy family.

They hated their once cheerful and kind grandfather even more, who later became sinister and vicious.

For the past five years, he has been missing his kind and gentle grandfather almost every day. But no one expected that his real grandfather had been suffering such torment and pain for the past five years!

Li Zhanfeng clenched his fists tighter and tighter, a sinister and manic emotion rising deep in his eyes. Just then, Old Master Li's joyful voice came, "Zhanfeng, what are you standing there for? Come here and let Grandpa take a look!"

Hearing that familiar voice, Li Zhanfeng felt as if he had suddenly woken up from a nightmare.

The sinister look in his eyes vanished quickly, and he walked over with a light laugh, taking Old Master Li's hand in his.

"Grandpa, I'm sorry, I haven't been able to spend enough time with you these past five years..."

Old Master Li was so amused that he burst into hearty laughter, "Hahahaha..."

"You silly child, do you think I don't know you? It's good that you have such filial piety. I don't expect you to do anything earth-shattering. I just hope you can give me a grandson soon!"

"Oh right, I forgot about Zhan Feng! Where's Jiu Jiu? They told me you already have a daughter! Tell Grandpa, is she the girl you liked back then? I haven't even had a chance to meet her yet. When are you going to introduce me to her?"

Of all the members of the Li family, Old Master Li was actually the one he was most worried about: Li Zhanfeng.

Having witnessed the cutthroat competition among the wealthy since childhood, he was naturally aloof, with an extreme and stubborn personality.

No matter what, his older brother Li Zhanting would always stand up to protect him. So Li Zhanfeng has always been a complete brother-obsessed person since he was a child. When he was upset, he could grit his teeth and swallow his hatred.

But if anyone disrespects Li Zhanting, this kid will really fight them to the death...

Originally, Grandpa Li thought that Li Zhanfeng would be trapped in the cage of his childhood trauma forever, but no one expected that he would finally live the life a person should live because of a girl...

Li Zhanfeng subconsciously frowned, and Old Master Rong immediately sensed something and quickly changed the subject:

"Your family can talk as much as you want from now on, right? You all go out first, let me have a few more words with this old man! Momo, be good, Grandpa will go out to find you in a little while, don't miss Grandpa too much!"

Gu Momo realized that Grandpa Rong and Grandpa Li had something to say to each other, so she left with a light laugh, "Alright!"

"Grandpa, please continue your conversation here. I have something to attend to, so I'll head out now."

Li Zhanting then followed, taking Li Zhanfeng with him.

The ward quickly fell silent. Old Master Rong's previously carefree face immediately furrowed, revealing a deep and thoughtful expression.

He quickly walked up to Old Master Li, his expression grave. "Old Li, this matter is probably not as simple as it seems."

"Everything happened so coincidentally five years ago. Someone wanted to replace you from the Li family and even tried to kill your son and daughter-in-law. And the Rong family was also involved in the events of that year. They certainly had big ambitions!"

Seeing Old Master Rong's serious expression, Old Master Li also suppressed his smile, his unique air of authority returning.

“If it were someone else targeting the Li and Rong families, the Li and Rong families would naturally choose to meet force with force and water with water! But the other party is specifically after the four blood jade rings. I suspect that this matter may be related to the secrets between the four great families.”

Upon hearing this, Old Master Rong's expression became even more serious. "That's right!"

The matter of the Blood Jade Ring is a secret among the four powerful families in the capital, a secret known only to high-ranking members.

The other party has been after the Blood Jade Ring for five years, and there is probably an even bigger conspiracy hidden in this!

Old Master Li turned to look at Old Master Rong, his expression growing even colder. "But no matter what, the matter of the Blood Jade Ring is of utmost importance and must not be leaked. If it gets out to people with ulterior motives, things could turn out very badly!"

How much did the four great families sacrifice to protect the secret of the Blood Jade Ring?

The secret hidden behind the Blood Jade Ring is directly related to the lifeblood of the global economy!

If someone wants the Blood Jade Ring, it means someone is plotting a big conspiracy behind the scenes. How could we let him succeed?

Grandpa Rong nodded. "I understand this matter. We must find Mu Hua and Mo Yan as soon as possible. Perhaps it was because they knew too many secrets of the mastermind that the later events occurred!"

"Yes, that's what I think too."

Meanwhile, Gu Momo had been standing in the corridor outside the door for quite a while.

As she pondered the whole story, a message from Li Mo suddenly appeared on her phone:

"President Gu! We've just received news that there's progress on Destruction Object Number Three, which can help Tianbao remove her mask!"

"We received word from the underground black market that something important will be auctioned tonight. I've confirmed that the final item up for auction is the No. 3 Destruction Object. We tried to trace its source, but the person who supplied the No. 3 Destruction Object to the underground black market is extremely secretive. We haven't been able to find out who is supplying it yet."

Gu Momo's hand holding her finger trembled violently, and her expression immediately tensed up. The third destructive force that could help Tianbao remove her mask...

Isn't that thing very likely in Ye Lingxiao's ring?

Why are they in the underground black market now?

Was it someone who deliberately leaked the information to lure her there, or...?
