Master Tang San was taken away by bodyguards, brought back to his house and placed under house arrest.

Airport
Tang Ji and Xie Ding bid farewell to Lin Jiu.
Lin Jiu glanced at the bandage on Tang Ji's arm, which was still oozing with blood. He was seriously injured. "Uncle, the Tang Group is out of money. Why are you still willing to be the CEO?"
"I always feel that there should be a bottom line in doing business. Someone has to pay for the mistakes made by my eldest brother. Also, it's great that the Tang Group is transitioning to doing public welfare scientific research. There's another reason. I've actually wanted to be the CEO of the Tang family since I was a kid. How glamorous it would be."
Tang Ji took out a mirror and looked at himself, scratched his hair, and then touched Lin Jiu's head. "Xiao Jiu, why did you let me be the CEO and retreat behind the scenes when you clearly got all of Aunt Yu's shares?"
"I'm not familiar with Nanyang or Tang's, and I've already acquired the 10% stake in the Lin Group." Lin Jiu turned his head to look at Tang Ji and pulled out a limited-edition Hermès mirror from his pocket. "The most important reason, uncle, is that you opposed Tang Li and Tang Miao, risking your life. You are a principled man. I believe that under your leadership, the Tang Group will have a new future."
After saying goodbye to the two of them, Lin Jiu walked into the waiting area.
It was still early before boarding, so Lin Jiu was strolling around the shops in the waiting area.
In a small souvenir shop, a snuff bottle caught Lin Jiu's attention.
She walked over, picked it up and examined it carefully.
The shop owner was playing with his cell phone, as if he didn't care that Lin Jiu took the snuff bottle away.
Lin Jiu clicked his tongue twice.
This snuff bottle is a product from the Qianlong era, but it's just sitting here with no one interested in it.
"Boss, how much is this?"
“88.”
"What? 88." Lin Jiu was a little bit unbelievable that such a valuable item was sold at such a low price.
"Think it's too expensive? We don't bargain at the airport." The shop owner continued looking at his phone, not caring at all about the business in front of him.
"Can I ask where this snuff bottle is imported from?"
"Why are you so long-winded?" The shop owner put down his phone and walked over. "I never sell fakes here. If you think there's something wrong with it, don't buy it."
The shop owner looked Lin Jiu up and down and didn't see any valuable brand-name clothes. It was obvious that the person who took the special offer flight had an accent from another place.
"Traveling to Nanyang?" The shop owner randomly pulled out an elephant-patterned keychain from a pile of scattered keychains. "If you want a souvenir, this is it. It's unique. 20, no bargaining."
"I'll buy all the snuff bottles you have at home, as many as you can get."
A black card was handed to the shop owner. Looking down the bony hand, the shop owner saw an extremely handsome face.
"But this is the only one in my shop." The shop owner handed the snuff bottle to Huo Shen with both hands. He knew the identity of the person holding the black card.
"Sir, we have many other specialties. How about we pack them all for you?" The shop owner looked at Huo Shen, and all he saw was money.
"No need. Pack up this snuff bottle and give it to this lady."
The shop owner looked at Lin Jiu with eyes full of envy, "Beautiful lady, you have a very good eye to like this exquisite item."
"Where did you get this snuff bottle from?" Lin Jiu insisted on his question.
"This." The shop owner scratched the back of his head and glanced at Huo Shen. "I found this at the airport. No one came to claim it, so I put a label on it and sold it to make some pocket money."
