Chapter 2229: Chapter 1932:

Beside them, Qing Nian’s eyes lit up and he said, "Senior Brother Qingxu, is Brother Song Yun...?"

"Indeed, it is him." Qingxu nodded.

Qing Nian looked at Song Yun, his gaze becoming more amiable. He smiled and said, "I didn’t expect you to grow so quickly. On this journey, my senior brother and I will ensure your safety."

Upon hearing this, Song Yun felt a bit puzzled. He had no prior relations with the two, yet hearing such words made him feel somewhat awkward.

He himself was considered Half-step Foundation Establishment, while Qing Nian was far behind him, yet they claimed to protect him, making the situation indeed somewhat embarrassing.

Nonetheless, Song Yun didn’t explain but instead cupped his hands toward Qingxu and Qing Nian, saying, "Thank you, Daoists."

Beside them, Wang Ling and Li Huanxin saw Song Yun forming a connection with the Daoists, and their expressions were quite remarkable.

Especially Li Huanxin, whose odd temper from before quickly dissipated.

He had worked at the Ministry of Public Security, having heard of the Qingcheng Sect, which made him wary of provoking these Daoists.

At that moment, another person entered, a woman.

Entering was a foreign woman, fairly attractive, radiating a heroic spirit and a touch of a mercenary’s valiant aura.

Her figure was quite provocative, wearing a black strapless top with denim shorts just a bit longer than underwear, leaving most of her skin exposed.

Upon entering, she glanced at everyone before tossing her camo backpack onto a chair, sitting down, and looking at Wang Ling, who was about to introduce them, saying in English, "No need to introduce them to me; I’m not interested."

"Uh."

Wang Ling showed a slightly embarrassed expression, smiling at Song Yun and the others, saying, "This is Maisy Lin, a demolition expert. Please don’t mind her, she just has this kind of temperament."

Qingxu and Qing Nian closed their eyes to rest and didn’t care how others treated them.

Li Huanxin’s gaze shamelessly went over Maisy Lin, finally stopping at her prominent assets.

Maisy Lin glanced at Li Huanxin and didn’t seem to mind his gaze, puffing up her ample chest, nearly spilling out of the strapless top.

A demolition expert, Daoists, detectives, this team certainly was interesting.

Song Yun looked at the people present, finding himself intrigued by the two not yet arrived.

"Mr. Wang, sorry for being a bit late."

A calm voice sounded as the door to the room opened, and in walked two foreigners dressed in casual sportswear.

Their eyes were sharp, one thin, the other fat, looking quite ordinary, with no special traits.

Although they smiled, a hint of ominous aura was difficult to hide.

"These are Oro and Morris."

Maisy Lin introduced their names, though she didn’t know their exact professional identities.

But as soon as she finished speaking, Li Huanxin laughed, "Didn’t expect Mr. Wang to hire two professional assassins as bodyguards, seems like we won’t have to worry about safety."

Professional assassins, no wonder they had such a heavy aura.

Song Yun realized this, recalling but finding no information on them, indicating they probably weren’t top-tier assassins.

Oro and Morris, hearing Li Huanxin’s words, smiled, saying, "Sir, we don’t understand what you’re saying?"

"Oro, nicknamed Fat Dragon, ranked forty-fifth on the assassin list. Though physically fat, he is extremely agile and a judo master. He can pass through very narrow spaces and has a unique killing method, often suffocating his targets."

"Morris, nicknamed Match, looking frail and seemingly easy to defeat, ranks thirty-ninth on the world assassin list. While his melee ability is weak, he is a firearms expert, with precise marksmanship, adept at using any gun or shooting weapon."

Li Huanxin revealed Oro and Morris’s identities; they smiled with Morris saying, "Didn’t expect to encounter a connoisseur."

Fat Dragon Oro sat on the soft sofa, taking out a piece of chocolate and eating it, without a word.

Self-pride was evident on their faces.

They thought their exposed identities would shock everyone, but aside from Wang Ling showing slight surprise, others were indifferent.

"Ranked around the forties, no wonder I don’t recall."

Song Yun murmured inwardly, then turned to Wang Ling, saying, "Xiao Ling, everyone’s here, should we head out now?"

"Let’s go, I’ve prepared a vehicle in the underground parking lot."

Wang Ling nodded, leading everyone to the elevator to the underground parking lot, boarding a Mercedes luxury RV, heading to the airport.

While passing security, Maisy Lin’s camo backpack underwent strict inspection due to its countless metallic components, which seemed suspicious.

The camo backpack was confiscated, leaving Maisy Lin visibly upset, unable to react.

Eventually, Li Huanxin found a friend at the Ministry of Public Security who retrieved the backpack.

Maisy Lin thanked Li Huanxin, her attitude improved, making him quite pleased, flaunting his humor, seemingly trying to charm her.

After boarding the plane, everyone discovered Wang Ling had chartered the entire plane.

Though expensive, it wasn’t significant to her, especially for a journey about billions worth of Nephrite Jade.

The Daoists Qingxu and Qing Nian drank some water, sitting by the window, closing their eyes to rest.

Morris and Oro conversed in low voices, frequently mentioning "US Dollar," "Africa," "assassination," seemingly discussing the next task.

With Li Huanxin’s fervent advances, Maisy Lin laughed, the two drinking red wine casually, like a vacation.

Overall, the atmosphere on the plane was relaxed.

After a while, Song Yun saw Wang Ling get up to the restroom, he followed along.

When Wang Ling exited the restroom, she was startled seeing Song Yun standing at the door.

Song Yun gestured toward the narrow bathroom: "Come in, I have something to ask you."

Wang Ling frowned, stepping aside as Song Yun entered, closing the door behind.

Morris, Oro, Maisy Lin, and Li Huanxin watching, smiled meaningfully, thinking Song Yun and Wang Ling were doing something "interesting" in there.

Qingxu and Qing Nian had no reaction, seeming asleep.

Inside, in the cramped restroom, Song Yun and Wang Ling stood close, bodies almost against each other.

Despite the unpleasant air, Wang Ling’s light perfume scent made Song Yun feel slightly better.

"What do you want to ask?"

Wang Ling’s face reddened slightly, feeling her body grow warm, especially where she touched Song Yun, adding a tingling sensation affecting her tone.

"Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to you." Song Yun smiled, asking, "How did you hire those outside? They aren’t simple."

Wang Ling explained, "Daoists Qingxu and Qing Nian, I once met at Qingcheng Mountain, hence asking for their help. However, their terms were odd, they wanted to agree residing under Hetian Mine for three years, only then they agreed to help me with Feng Shui."

The Hetian Mine’s jade reserves are rich, spiritual energy not as concentrated as Azure Dragon Villa but denser than most places. Qingxu and Qing Nian likely sought Hetian Jade’s spiritual energy for cultivation.

Song Yun nodded, asking again, "What about the others, how were they found?"

Wang Ling said, "Li Huanxin is a famous private investigator. I paid one million to help uncover the truth. Maisy Lin was found through intricate channels. Her task involves blasting the mine, checking for peculiarities, costing one million US Dollar."

Song Yun thought Maisy Lin and Li Huanxin seemed manageable, then asked, "What about Morris and Oro? They are professional assassins, hiring them as bodyguards seems unsuitable."
