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

"Wu Zhaonan, from today onwards, you are in charge of the Wu family!"

"Wu Hongyi, I'm sparing your life. You must be grateful and do your best to assist your son."

"You'll continue doing what you did for the Wu family before, but you'll only be responsible for carrying out tasks. The decision-making power rests with Wu Zhaonan. You need his approval to do anything you want. If he doesn't give his nod, you'd better not do anything reckless!"

Qin Ge flicked a pill into each of their mouths, then quickly tapped it on their bodies a few times. "This is a poison I personally concocted."

"No one but me can solve this. Even full-body dialysis won't help. You can try it if you don't believe me."

"But don't worry, as long as you don't cause trouble, I'll give you the antidote regularly. If you behave well, I might even give you the detoxification!"

"Don't even think about killing each other. From today onwards, your lives are tied together. If either of you dies, no matter the cause of death, I will kill the other!"

He smiled broadly, "We're father and son, there's no grudge that can't be resolved. We must love each other from now on!"

Wu Hongyi had now completely seen through Qin Ge's scheme: first, to blackmail his son into turning against him, and then to make the father and son restrain each other.

To deepen the hatred between father and son and make the rift even harder to mend, Qin Ge deliberately made them fight first, until both sides were red in the face.

Knowing something in one's heart doesn't mean there's a way to break the deadlock. It's true that his son wants him dead in order to save his own life, and based on that alone, he can no longer trust his son.

She had tried her best to restrain herself, but she still hated her son to the core. Her son probably hated her even more. Was there any possibility of reconciliation?

If he dared to propose uniting to deal with Qin Ge, an outsider, that bastard son might pretend to agree on the surface, but then turn around and complain to Qin Ge. Would he dare to take that gamble?

With the Min family's affairs and the poison weighing on his body, he had no choice but to obey!

Wu Zhaonan wasn't stupid either; he could see through Qin Ge's intentions. In fact, he reacted even faster, knowing what Qin Ge wanted. Since he couldn't resist, if he wanted to live, he should obediently be a dog.

He also couldn't believe his father had gone this far; his fatherly love would only be like a landslide, leaving him completely devastated.

The father and son shared a surprisingly similar idea: to first comply with Qin Ge's wishes and then proceed as they saw.

......

Two days later, late at night, at a high point on a hill in the northern part of Liuguang Island.

Xie Bingning noticed the movement and subconsciously reached for the dagger on her thigh, but quickly withdrew her hand. "It's almost disassembled. Shall we make our move?"

On the shore directly in front of her, a group of people were busy unloading boxes of all sizes from the boat, which had already piled up into a small mountain on the beach.

"No rush." ​​Qin Ge observed for a while. "After waiting so long, we've finally caught them!"

"They just unloaded the goods on the beach, and didn't they do anything else?"

"Wait and see where they end up taking these things."

"That's how it seems right now." Xie Bingning also found it strange. "I always thought that after unloading, their next step would be to transport it away, but now it seems that they don't have that plan."

"Some of the ships that have unloaded their cargo have already left. If we don't act soon, they'll all be gone. No matter how capable you are, you can't catch them on the open sea, can you?"

Qin Ge pondered for a moment, still appearing calm and composed, "The person is gone, but the things are still here, aren't they?"

"Catching those people might not be useful, but those things can't stay on the beach forever. Let's wait and see."

A dozen minutes later, all the boats docked at the shore left. Xie Bingning watched anxiously, but Qin Ge didn't say anything, so she was helpless.

"Boom—"

A few minutes after the boat on the shore left, a muffled sound suddenly came from below the hill where Qin Ge and Xie Bingning were.

"It really is here!" Qin Ge's face lit up with joy. "You stay here and keep watch, I'll go down and take a look."

"Be careful..." Xie Bingning said, but Qin Ge had already disappeared into the night.

A cave opening about three meters long and wide appeared at the bottom of the mountain. Lights were on inside the cave, and then a figure appeared.

Dozens of figures arrived at the beach with a clear objective, carrying boxes in groups of two or four and heading towards the cave.

They were in perfect sync, without exchanging a single word throughout.

Qin Ge watched quietly from the shadows, muttering to himself, "Is this cave really the location of the Ink Robe Hall's treasury? Isn't that a bit too hasty?"

The cave entrance was indeed cleverly designed; he had visited this place before and hadn't noticed anything amiss.

But the vault is right behind the door. Could it really have remained undiscovered for so many years?

However, it's also possible that those who discovered it were all killed!

Liuguang Island is under the jurisdiction of the Li family. Apart from tourists, most of the people on the island are Li family members. Who among the tourists has the time to discover this place?

Even if they did discover it, probably no one would care. They'd be coming and going in a hurry, so who would think much of it?

It was indeed difficult to find; even Qin Ge, who came with a purpose, couldn't discern anything amiss.

"Did you see that? I felt like there was a figure flash by just now?"

"Stop scaring yourself, it's the middle of the night, even the birds are asleep, who would come here!"

Qin Ge hid inside the cave, his eyes scanning the surroundings.

Thankfully, there were no cameras.

Qin Ge moved incredibly fast, dodging the people's gazes, and constantly shifted his position inside the cave, quickly figuring out the entire cave's layout.

The cave was larger than he had imagined; it appeared to have been dug out by man.

Inside the cave were various boxes of different sizes, all roughly made of wood, and it was impossible to tell what was inside.

What puzzled him was that although the cave was large, it only had one entrance and exit.

Where did these people come from? Could it be that they've been living in a cave all along?

However, he found no signs of life inside the cave.

"Luckily, we didn't attack them directly. We can only wait for them to finish and see how they leave."

Qin Ge pondered to himself, becoming increasingly puzzled the more he looked.

The boxes those men were carrying looked quite heavy, but that was about it; they didn't seem to contain any gold.

That box is so big, if it's filled with gold, how could just two or three people possibly lift it!

He wanted to open a few boxes to take a look, but he was worried about making too much noise.

After waiting for nearly an hour, those people finally carried all the boxes on the beach into the cave.

After all the dozens of people returned to the cave, the leader counted the number of people to make sure no one was missing, closed the cave door, and then led everyone into the cave.

Qin Ge quietly followed, wondering where these people were going, when the leader pressed a button in a very inconspicuous spot on the stone wall.

With a "click," a door suddenly appeared in the uneven stone wall.
