After Fang Yanzong left looking dejected, this little incident was considered over.

Everyone continued their tour as if nothing had happened.

Although Xiang Yizhai didn't say anything on the surface, criticizing his beloved disciple still made him feel a little bad. He left alone and sat down in the courtyard.

Master Li noticed his bad mood and followed him out.

“Junior brother, you have done enough. You have nurtured him for ten years. Even if Wenming himself is still alive, that’s all there is to it. There’s no need to worry about it!” Master Li advised.

"Senior brother, I just feel that this child's personality is too petty and narrow-minded. I'm afraid he will have a very difficult time in the future," Xiang Yizhai said, taking a sip of tea.

"Who would have thought that someone as upright and virtuous as Brother Wenming would have such a descendant?" Master Li remarked with emotion.

“Yes, when I think of how much Brother Wenming took care of us back then, I can’t bear to beat this child. His arrogant personality today is partly my fault,” Xiang Yizhai sighed.

"That's good. It's time for him to know that there are always people better than him and that there's always something beyond his reach. Luo Yunhang's talent and temperament are far superior to his. I hope he will realize his shortcomings and grow up soon."

Luo Yunhang overheard their conversation. He hadn't expected that Fang Yanzong had such a connection with the two of them, but he wouldn't indulge him just because of that.

I'll let it go today because Xiang Yizhai took the initiative to step in. But if there's a next time, I'll let Fang Yanzong know what it means to assess the situation carefully.

Luo Yunhang's first private exhibition was a great success.

After the tour ended, a banquet had been set up in the second courtyard.

Everyone ate, drank, and chatted about the cultural relics before concluding their visit.

Luo Yunhang's first private show was a great success.

His reputation quickly spread within the antique circle, as this industry places great emphasis on inheritance.

Although Luo Yunhang is young, his collection is a dream that many antique collectors can only dream of in their entire lives.

Bai Yan concluded her investigations in Fujian Province and Dunhuang and returned to Tianzhou City.

Because she thwarted Yuan Laosan's operation last time, and this time she effortlessly cracked down on a major cultural relic crime operation, catching several big fish, she was promoted to captain.

She also frankly told her superiors about the situation she was facing, and described at length the many ways Luo Yunhang had helped her.

This leader has a really wild imagination.

He felt that since this person was so capable, both in combat and knowledgeable about cultural relics, and had helped them repeatedly, it showed that this guy had a strong sense of patriotism. Such a person had to be recruited into their cultural relics inspection team.

Bai Yan helplessly spread Luo Yunhang's various accolades, and only then did the leader realize that Luo Yunhang was such a powerful person. He was a big shot in everything he did. Why would he work for you? Did you give him hundreds of millions or something?

He didn't give up, but as a second choice, he let Luo Yunhang have a nominal position in the cultural relics inspection team first, so that he could feel more at ease if he needed his help in the future.

The main reason is that this way, we can save a lot of money. Every time there's a case, we have to hire experts, which costs money and we have to serve them. It's really frustrating. It would be great if we had our own people.

Bai Yan certainly thought so too. She simply felt that Luo Yunhang was a lucky star, and that everything she did would be twice as effective with him around.

So he went directly to Luo Yunhang and told him about it. To his surprise, Luo Yunhang immediately agreed and seemed very happy.

Bai Yan immediately understood that he truly loved cultural relics and wanted to protect China's cultural relics; otherwise, he would have no reason to do something that brought him no benefit.

Why waste other people's time on you when they could be doing so many other things?

For the first time, Bai Yan looked at Luo Yunhang with admiration. Before, she only thought of him as a good person and a smart person, but now she thought of him as a great person and a hero.

An admiration crept into his eyes.

On his first mission with the inspection team, Luo Yunhang caught a big fish.

Bai Yan followed the clues from the incident in Fujian Province and traced them back to two Japanese businessmen in Tianzhou.

They are Watanabe and Kawai, whom I met briefly at an underground auction before.

These two men traveled in China for many years posing as businessmen.

But what kind of shady dealings they did in private, nobody knows.

This time, the dock manager refused to confess, even at the risk of being executed.

Old Li was the same; he was like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water, refusing to confess.

Actually, they didn't want to protect Watanabe; rather, their families were being controlled by him, and they couldn't bear to see their entire families perish, even if it meant sacrificing themselves.

No one is born with the ability to keep a secret; only those with enough leverage can truly keep it.

My family is in grave danger, and you're telling me to protect cultural relics? A bunch of dead things—how can they compare to their own families?

Many things are impossible to define definitively; everyone has something that is most important to them.

Bai Yan was also a ruthless person. Based on the ship's destination and some clues at the dock, she found out that she had a close relationship with these two Japanese people.

So she began to secretly keep track of their news.

Soon, Bai Yan received news that Watanabe would be hosting an important guest at Hongyunlou Restaurant, and this guest was likely his protector.

She made some arrangements, but she was still missing the most important person.

This person cannot be from the public security system, as that would arouse Watanabe's suspicion. However, this person must also know some martial arts to prevent Watanabe from resorting to desperate measures.

In fact, Bai Yan had many such candidates around her, but she didn't know why, she inexplicably called Luo Yunhang.

Luo Yunhang certainly wouldn't refuse.

Under Bai Yan's guidance, he disguised himself as a waiter at the restaurant and successfully entered Hongyunlou.

The two met at nine o'clock in the evening, a very late time, perhaps because there are fewer people at night, or perhaps because it is only possible to meet at night.

Watanabe arrived alone first. Luo Yunhang, wearing a waiter's hat and tie, served him the dishes with his head down. Watanabe, preoccupied with his own thoughts, didn't notice him and waved him out.

Luo Yunhang stepped out and stood at the door, his X-ray vision constantly observing everything around him.

About twenty minutes later.

A person wearing a hat and mask, completely covered up, came up.

Judging from his build, he was a middle-aged man.

He walked step by step to the door of the private room where Luo Yunhang was, and Luo Yunhang bent down to open the door for him.

The man glanced at Luo Yunhang, then went inside without saying a word.

Luo Yunhang calmly closed the door, but his heart was in turmoil.

His fists were clenched tightly into a ball.

Although he was wearing a mask, Luo Yunhang's X-ray vision revealed nothing. He clearly saw that this person was actually a big shot in the Cultural Relics Bureau, someone like the second or third in command.

How did he come to know him? It was because of the incidents he caused, which led the Cultural Relics Bureau to send him banners of commendation on several occasions.

The person who had just gone in probably recognized him, but didn't pay much attention and went inside.

Luo Yunhang forced himself to calm down, determined to obtain enough evidence to crush them.
