I bought a secret manual of the Hehuan Sect for ten yuan.

After Qin Ge and Li Shuyan finished their meal, they were stopped in their tracks not far away.

Qin Ge glanced at the person blocking his way and decisively said, "Just run them over!"

"Huh?" Li Shuyan slammed on the brakes first, bringing the car to a stop. "Who are these people? What do we do?"

Qin Ge opened the car door and was about to get out when he found his left hand being grabbed. "Stay in the car, I'm going to give them a lesson on traffic laws."

"Hey, are you guys trying to scam me or are you begging? You have no sense of propriety at all!"

Wei Yunting was still figuring out how to take Qin Ge away without harming Li Shuyan when Qin Ge voluntarily got out of the car, leaving him momentarily stunned. "Take her down!"

Upon hearing this, his men immediately split into two groups and surrounded Qin Ge, moving swiftly.

Qin Ge raised an eyebrow. "Aren't you going to talk to me first before making a move?"

Li Shuyan, sitting in the car, stared straight at Qin Ge, one hand resting on the car door.

Seeing Qin Ge surrounded, she was about to open the car door when she suddenly froze.

For a fleeting moment, she felt as if Qin Ge's figure had turned into a phantom, and then the people surrounding him were inexplicably sent flying.

Then came a piercing scream.

Wei Yunting's gaze darkened. "So he's a master. No wonder he was so confident. I really misjudged him!"

Qin Ge smiled and retorted, "Are you talking about yourself?"

"If I'm not mistaken, you should be a master of the Earth Realm. It's rare that you don't seem flustered at this moment."

"Don't misunderstand, those in the Earth Realm aren't considered experts in my eyes. I'm just using their terminology; I don't have any other words to use for now. Earth Realm low-level expert?"

Wei Yunting laughed too, "You really were young and impetuous!"

"Just because you have a little skill doesn't mean you know your place. Do you even know the true value of the Earth Realm?"

"Let me teach them a lesson..."

"Snap—"

Before he could finish speaking, a simple, unadorned slap landed on his face, crisp and loud.

Wei Yunting was furious and was about to retaliate when another slap came, leaving him dizzy and horrified.

Qin Ge quipped, "What gold content? Is gold so worthless?"

"The land isn't entirely worthless in my eyes, provided you're a beautiful woman. Are you?"

"You don't look like it, so you might as well die!"

"Spare me... Spare my life..." Wei Yunting managed to utter two words. The two slaps had already shattered his arrogance and destroyed his confidence.

He knew very well that the person in front of him was stronger than him, and if he didn't submit, he would die!

Bowing your head might still lead to death, but at least there's a sliver of hope.

In critical moments, the key is to be flexible and adaptable; the matter is Wu Zhaonan's business, but his life is his own.

Qin Ge looked at him with disdain. "Didn't you just say you were going to teach me a lesson? Go ahead and do it!"

"It's not impossible to survive, but you'll have to offer something of value in exchange. Do you have anything like that?"

"Yes, I have it!" Wei Yunting agreed without hesitation, and then began to rack his brains to think about his own value.

"We were sent by Wu Zhaonan. This information should be valuable to you, right?"

"It's worthless. I already knew that." Qin Ge's expression remained unchanged. "Who else could it be but him? I can figure that out even with my eyes closed. Is this really useful information?"

"This..." Wei Yunting's mind raced. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Li Shuyan in the car and suddenly realized something. "I know a secret about Li Shaoting!"

"Li Shaoting has always wanted to cooperate with the Wu family, but the Wu family has never been interested because they know that Li Shaoting wants to use the Wu family for smuggling activities!"

"Smuggling?" Qin Ge's interest was instantly piqued, and he even glanced at Li Shuyan sideways. "Tell me more about it."

Wei Yunting then said, "Wu Zhaonan's father, Wu Zhuo, knew a long time ago that the Li family had been involved in smuggling on Liuguang Island for years. He didn't want the Wu family to be dragged into it, so he had been making various excuses to refuse to cooperate with the Li family all these years."

"Because Liuguang Island is the territory of the Li family, and they carry out their smuggling activities in the middle of the night, it is difficult for outsiders to detect them."

"But the Wu family's situation is rather special. They have many boats, and smuggled goods entering Liuguang Island from the sea naturally cannot escape their notice."

"Due to the influence of the Li family, the Wu family could only turn a blind eye and pretend they knew nothing."

"After all, offending the Li family won't do them any good."

Qin Ge narrowed her eyes slightly. "Then how do you know all this? What kind of things does the Li family smuggle?"

His intuition told him that this was definitely related to the Mo Yi Tang's treasury!

Wei Yunting said, "About a year ago, late one night, we caught a boat at sea."

"That ship was used to transport smuggled goods for the Li family, mostly antiques and curiosities. Strangely, most of them were fakes!"

"An antique fake?" Qin Ge frowned. "Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"Shouldn't it be something like gold or jewelry?"

Wei Yunting shook his head. "I can confirm that there is no gold."

"Where do they unload their goods after they arrive on the island? Is it on the north shore?"

"How do you know? That's what the people on the ship said, but they don't know the specifics. They just need to unload their stuff on the north shore and leave; someone will take care of the rest."

"Are there ships transporting goods to Liuguang Island every night?"

"It's not every day. It can be as short as three to five days, or as long as ten days to half a month. It's even normal for there to be no action for a month or two. There's no particular pattern."

"Is there anything else?"

"The cargo ships weren't big, but there were quite a few of them. After we captured the ship, I reported the situation to Wu Zhaonan, and he ordered me to make the ship and the people disappear together, as if nothing had happened, and I did as he said."

Qin Ge glanced at Li Shuyan again, "Wu Zhaonan's acting as a simp is pretty dedicated!"

"If he had used this to threaten Li Shaoting, Shuyan might have been forced to marry him long ago."

"Mr. Qin, is there anything else you want to ask?" Wei Yunting guessed that Qin Ge might be interested in the Li family's smuggling activities because of the relationship between Qin Ge and Li Shuyan.

But he didn't expect Qin Ge to ask such detailed questions. Could it be that the Li family's smuggling business is not as simple as it seems on the surface?

"Wu Zhaonan sent you on a mission, and you betrayed him in the blink of an eye. Even if I let you go, do you think you'd survive?"

Qin Ge is just a dog under Wu Zhaonan's command. He doesn't care whether Qin Ge kills him or not. If he can cause Wu Zhaonan some trouble, then that would be more interesting.

Wei Yunting said awkwardly, "Let's stay alive first, then we can think about other things."

"As long as Mr. Qin is willing to spare my life, I can find a place to stay, no matter how vast the world is."

Qin Ge's eyes darted around, and he immediately had an idea. "I can let you go, but I have conditions."

"Do me a favor before you leave Flowing Light Island and Sea City. Once you've done it, you can leave directly."

He beckoned and whispered a few words.

Wei Yunting stood there, stunned.
