Then, Mo Laoda glanced at Liu Zhi and shook his head, saying, "Who do you think you are? You think you're qualified to discuss things with me?"
Liu Zhi smiled ingratiatingly and said, "I wouldn't dare, but I beg you, Boss Mo, to be magnanimous. If there's anything we can do to help you in the future, we'll do our best to assist you."
At this moment, Liu Zhi had completely lost any of the authority he had as the manager; all he wanted was to make Boss Mo happy.
Mo Huaitian didn't say anything more, because the two were not even in the same generation. If Liu Zhi's father were here, Mo Huaitian might have considered saying a few words.
But these two juniors are not worthy of his respect.
"Hmph, our boss's time is precious. You'd better admit your mistakes and accept punishment as soon as possible. That way, we might be able to let you go back sooner."
The man standing to the side spoke again, his superior voice sounding like a royal decree, leaving no room for disobedience.
"Can't you be a little more accommodating? My Liu family is here..."
"Noisy!"
The man shouted angrily, and several bodyguards rushed over to grab Liu Zhi.
Chapter 394 The Situation Takes a Sudden Turn
"Wait!"
Just as Liu Zhi was about to be captured, Fang Yun suddenly stepped forward.
Mo was taken aback, a surge of anger rising in his heart. These kids had repeatedly come out to offend him; did they really think he wasn't angry?
"Take them all at once!"
Mo Huaitian had no intention of continuing the game, and he had lost interest in it.
“Hey Mo, if I’m not mistaken, that jade ring on your thumb should have been unearthed from the Tangshan ancient tomb, and it’s a very important artifact.”
Upon hearing Fang Yun's words, Zhou Weikang and Liu Zhi cursed inwardly. Did Fang Yun still think this was an antique shop, using the same old tricks here?
To everyone's surprise, Mo Huaitian's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, and he said in a deep voice, "So what if it is?"
Fang Yun said, "If you dug that tomb yourself and took the item, then no one would know about it. Being able to obtain this item can be considered as your skill and good fortune."
"However, this Tangshan ancient tomb is a Ming Dynasty tomb that has already been excavated, and it is strictly forbidden for anyone to enter and damage the site. Now you have not only run in, but also taken away important things from inside. I don't need to tell you what charges you will face."
Upon hearing Fang Yun's words, Chen Xiaonan, who was standing to the side, immediately showed a hint of admiration on her face.
"Truly worthy of being called Master Fang! He was able to see through the opponent's weakness at a glance!"
However, apart from Chen Xiaonan, the expressions of the others did not change; on the contrary, they became even more gloomy.
Li Jiaying whispered, "It's no use. The other party can easily erase this kind of leverage if they want to, and even if you go out and expose it, no one will believe you."
Li Jiaying shook her head.
He could remain uninvolved because of his status in the Li family, but since Fang Yun had pulled this stunt, it must have provoked the other party's anger.
Liu Zhi and Zhou Weikang looked even more distressed. If they could have captured Mo Huaitian in public, that would have been fine, but this was on his turf, and they were still being held hostage. Exposing his shortcomings like this would be tantamount to offending him to death.
"Oh? What if I say no?"
A playful look appeared on Mo Huaitian's face. He wasn't in a hurry to deal with Fang Yun right now. On the contrary, he felt quite pleased that Fang Yun had recognized the jade ring in his hand.
After all, it's quite frustrating when others can't even recognize something so precious.
"Whether you admit it or not is irrelevant. If it's true or false and I've misjudged it, then I can only say that it's a great pity you don't have this incredible opportunity."
Upon hearing this, Mo Huaitian paused in his actions and asked curiously, "What incredible opportunity? I've never heard of it."
"Of course you haven't heard of it. I think you went to get this jade ring because you knew it was valuable, but you probably don't know why it's so valuable."
Upon hearing this, Mo Huaitian's spirits lifted, and he asked, "Then tell me. If you can really come up with something, I can make an exception and let you off the hook today."
When Mo Huaitian spoke, Zhou Weikang and the others who had just been lying on the ground were inexplicably overjoyed, not expecting that there was really a chance to save them.
Although they used to dislike Fang Yun a lot, now they all hope that Fang Yun can say as much as he wants, and they wish that Fang Yun could recite the entire Jade Scripture.

If there are too many of these, Mo Huaitian might actually be so happy that he'll release them all.
"Okay, I can tell you, but I'm afraid you'll be scared after I tell you."
"How dare you! While our Boss Mo was out there fighting for his cause, you were probably still nursing in your mother's womb!" the man beside Mo Huaitian shouted angrily.
"Let him speak," Mo Huaitian said calmly.
Then, Fang Yun began to speak slowly and deliberately.
"This jade ring is generally known to outsiders as 'Mengyun,' but that is not actually the name of the jade ring. Mengyun is actually a sacrificial activity of that tribe."
....... .. .......
"Why hold such a sacrificial ceremony? It originated from a hunter who discovered a cave while hunting in the mountains."
"The hunter was puzzled at the time. He had circled the mountain many times before without finding the cave, but he found it on this one occasion. He was about to walk through it, but a voice in his heart kept calling to him to clear away the bushes in front of him."
"Once you push it aside, the cave will come into view of him."
Chen Xiaonan asked from the side, "What's inside that cave? It's so amazing."
Fang Yun said, "This is a mystery. According to their family genealogy, after the hunter discovered this cave, he became somewhat delirious upon returning and kept saying that there was something inside."
"When others ask him, he just says there's something there, but he can't explain what it is."
"Isn't this driving you crazy? Has anyone else gone to look for them?" Chen Xiaonan asked again.
"That's the amazing thing about this," Fang Yun said.
Chapter 395 Clues
"That's for sure. If the people of that tribe had found everything back then, we wouldn't be where we are now."
Fang Yun laughed heartily.
At this moment, Mo Huaitian, who was sitting in the main seat, pondered and said, "Are you trying to say that the jade ring in my hand has clues about that mysterious cave?"
"That's right. I visited the ruins of that tribe before, and I learned about this from their ancient books."
"Of course, this kind of thing is a matter of belief; it exists if you believe it, and it doesn't exist if you don't. It all depends on how you weigh the pros and cons."
Fang Yun stopped speaking after saying that. Mo Huaitian also remained silent.
At this moment, the man in black standing next to Mo Huaitian shouted angrily, "Nonsense! You dare to use such a clumsy story to fool our Boss Mo? You really don't know how to spell the word 'death'!"
Liu Zhi and Zhou Weikang on the stage were also uneasy. The story sounded a bit far-fetched and unreliable. Could Boss Mo really believe it?
Of course, Chen Xiaonan and Li Jiaying are probably the only ones who really believe in Fang Yun now, since they have personally witnessed his abilities and believe that there are indeed many mysterious things in this world that they do not know about.
"Wait!" At this moment, Mo Huaitian suddenly stood up, pointed at Fang Yun and said, "Since you are so sure that this jade ring is the clue that leads to that cave, then I will let you go today."
"I'll give you a week to prepare all the necessary equipment. Come find me at Bihuo Tower then. I'll send a few people to find this place for you."
When Mo Huaitian said this, many people were stunned. They didn't expect that Boss Mo would actually believe what this kid said.
The middle-aged man beside him wanted to speak, but Mo Huaitian waved his hand, stopping him from saying anything more.
As for Liu Zhi and Zhou Weikang, they were spared for the time being, considering that Fang Yun was still willing to risk his life for them.
When the group came out of the private room, apart from Fang Yun who was still the same as before, the others seemed to have entered a magical world, and no one knew how they had suddenly become like this.
Liu Zhi and Zhou Weikang glanced at Fang Yun, then said thank you in a rather irritable tone before leaving with Zhou Qiang.
They really didn't want to stay here any longer. After experiencing such humiliation, they just wanted to find a quiet place to calm down.
"Brother Fang, is what you just said true? You really have to help him find that cave."
Chen Xiaonan couldn't help but ask.
Fang Yun nodded and said calmly, "I've always been interested in this legend, and I never expected to stumble upon it here today. I guess this is quite a stroke of luck. If things go well, we might just unearth a few treasures this time."
Chen Xiaonan hummed in agreement, then clenched her fist: "Can I go with you...?"
Inside the private room, the middle-aged fat man who had been beaten at the beginning was looking at Mo Huaitian with great confusion.
Well, that's it. They didn't even teach the man a lesson, and they've already given back the beauty they had their hands on.
This time, he came to discuss cooperation with Mo Huaitian. If Mo Huaitian couldn't give him a reasonable explanation, then there was no point in discussing the cooperation.
"I know what you're thinking, but this is truly an opportunity..."
"Boss Mo, do you really believe the story that kid told you?"
The people nearby were all puzzled.
"Hmph, if it were really that simple, I naturally wouldn't believe it. But actually... this isn't the first time I've heard this story."
"When I got this jade ring, I had it examined by people and even had some local antique masters look at it. Later, an old man in his eighties saw my ring and said it was something from a tribe."
"Hearing it this way, it does sound somewhat similar to what that kid said today."
Upon hearing Mo Huaitian's words, the others fell silent. If the legend was true, then the cave might contain some extraordinary treasure, making the risk worthwhile.
The middle-aged fat man said, "Even if there's some progress on this matter, aren't you afraid that if you give that kid a week to prepare, he'll run away?"
"Haha, under my watchful eye, it won't be easy for him to escape."
Meanwhile, Fang Yun and his children also came out of the KTV. By then, the sky outside had gradually darkened, and the group was feeling a bit hungry as they hadn't eaten much.
"Oh no, I forgot my 1.3 bag of money in the car."
Li Jiaying was about to offer to treat everyone, but when she reached into her pocket, she discovered that the bag she used to keep her money was gone.
