Qian Dabao looked very solemn when he saw Cha Rui like this. Cha Rui looked like he had practiced some strange martial arts. His movements were not as agile as they were a few years ago. He was much thinner and looked a little dazed.
Seeing Qian Dabao, Cha Rui's face flashed with a fierce look. He took two steps towards Qian Dabao. His hoarse voice was like the hissing of a venomous snake, but Qian Yuxin still heard clearly what Cha Rui said: "Give it back to me."
Qian Dabao was a little panicked. He didn't expect that even though he had hidden so far away and taken so many precautions, Na Rui still found him.
"It's gone." Qian Dabao shouted in panic: "Three years ago, when your clan leader sent people to hunt down our family, I lost the thing." Qian Dabao really didn't have that thing in his hand.
The sacred object of the Nawa people is a black stone. Qian Dabao didn't know what the stone was used for at first. He only went to the Nawa people to "borrow" the stone because someone asked him to.
Oh, I forgot to mention that in his youth, Qian Dabao was a down-and-out nobleman. Like his father-in-law, Nashan, Qian Dabao's father had once been a large estate owner, but unfortunately, he was a gambler. After losing most of his fortune in gambling, Qian Dabao's father kicked his legs and died. Not long after, a bout of typhoid fever claimed the life of Qian Dabao's mother. After graduating from college with the meager fortune left by his parents, Qian Dabao left his hometown and wandered the world.
On the surface, Qian Dabao was a traveler, spending all his earnings on sightseeing. In reality, Qian Dabao was using the convenience of travel to secretly handle shady matters for others. This trip to the Nawa tribe to steal a stone was one of Qian Dabao's jobs.
After Qian Dabao got the stone, he waited for many days in Country T, but the client still didn't show up to collect it. Qian Dabao was anxious because the client promised a very generous reward this time. Although Qian Dabao didn't know why someone would spend so much money in exchange for a "broken stone", he was willing to do it, so why not?
One night while waiting for someone in the hotel, Qian Dabao accidentally cut his finger. The blood was absorbed by the black stone that he was holding in his hand and looking at over and over again. Qian Dabao and the black stone then had a faint connection.
"Black Stone" told Qian Dabao that it could find the jade vein for Qian Dabao and asked Qian Dabao to take it away because it didn't want to stay in the Nawa tribe anymore.
Qian Dabao was overjoyed. Compared to the client's reward, the "Black Stone" that could find jade mines was undoubtedly far more valuable. The "Black Stone" then told Qian Dabao that its energy was insufficient and that he couldn't speak often. The country was the Nawa tribe's base camp, and it would be disastrous if the Nawa came after them.
Although Qian Dabao thought that the Nawa people would not break the contract, he still listened to the advice of "Black Stone" and left Country T immediately.
Qian Dabao knew that MD had rich jade mines, so he wanted to test whether the "black stone" was true. After arriving in MD, Qian Dabao wandered around and found that as long as he was close to the jade mines, the black stone would emit a green light.
Qian Dabao was overjoyed. After learning that the black stone was indeed a treasure, he was now afraid that the client would find him. With the help of the black stone, Qian Dabao bought several jade mines that others had looked down upon and made a fortune.
A few years later, Qian Dabao returned to the Philippines in secret. Seeing how powerful the black stone was, Qian Dabao didn't want to return it to the Nawa tribe. He went to live in Tony City, a city he had never been to before, and became a son-in-law of the Nashan family, hoping to avoid being hunted by the Nawa tribe.
When Qian Dabao borrowed the black stone, he left a drop of blood on the Nawa tribe. At first, Qian Dabao didn't know what the drop of blood was for and didn't care at all.
The Nawa people have a secret technique that relies on the induction of Qian Dabao's blood. No matter where Qian Dabao runs to, they can accurately find him. Otherwise, the Nawa tribe leader would not have been so bold as to lend the tribe's sacred object to Qian Dabao.
Cha Rui appeared in front of Qian Dabao twice using this secret technique.
Cha Rui wanted to take back the black stone in advance. On the one hand, Qian Dabao was just dissatisfied with the Nawa tribe's backtracking. On the other hand, Qian Dabao was also greedy and wanted the black stone to find more veins for him.
A few days after Cha Rui left, the Nawa tribe leader came to Qian Dabao's house with a dozen strong men. This time, the leader's attitude was very tough. As soon as he entered the house, he ordered the killing of Qian Dabao's wife Na Mei and father-in-law Na Shan, forcing Qian Dabao to hand over the things quickly.
Qian Dabao was heartbroken. His wife and father-in-law had been killed in the blink of an eye, and he was forced to give up the things obediently, but Qian Dabao felt unwilling to do so.
The clan leader and his men searched Qian Dabao's house from top to bottom, but they couldn't find the whereabouts of the black stone. The clan leader didn't continue to force Qian Dabao, and before leaving, he cursed all of Qian Dabao's family members, cursing them to be unable to eat anything.
During those days, Qian Dabao and his son Qian Yucheng vomited everything they ate, and the servants in the mansion were the same. Only Qian Yuxin, who was unconscious, was fine.
Qian Dabao was so hungry that he felt dizzy and thought it would be better to return the black stone to the Nawa people. For this stone, Qian Dabao gained a lot of wealth, but lost his beloved wife and respected father-in-law. Now he was going to lose his life and the lives of his two children because of it. He felt it was not worth it.
Before the Nawa tribe leader arrived again, a Taoist priest in his sixties appeared at Qian Dabao's house one day.
Qian Dabao was shocked. Although the Taoist in front of him was dressed differently, Qian Dabao recognized his identity at a glance - the client who asked Qian Dabao to go to the Nawa tribe to get the black stone seven years ago.
Seven years later, the Taoist priest looked exactly the same as he had back then. He said he had a way to save Qian Dabao and his family, but he had one condition: Qian Dabao must honor their promise and hand over the Nawa tribe's sacred object.
In order to survive, Qian Dabao had no choice but to give the black stone to the Taoist priest. However, Qian Dabao was not a fool. Before handing over the black stone, Qian Dabao put forward several conditions to the Taoist priest, including asking him to help them escape the pursuit of the Nawa tribe and let their family live a life of wealth and peace.
The Taoist hesitated for a while, then nodded in agreement.
After Qian Dabao handed over the black stone, the Taoist priest produced a small jade bottle and poured out several fragrant, yellow-brown pills. He fed one to each of Qian Dabao and the others. Strangely enough, the pills melted upon entry, transforming into a warm stream that flowed into Qian Dabao's stomach. Qian Dabao instantly felt a surge of strength.
In this way, with the help of the Taoist, Qian Dabao dealt with the family business in Tony City and moved to Country F with his son and daughter.
