"Are you alright?"

Jiang Cha and the others stepped forward, their faces full of surprise.

Ye Chen pursed his lips. "Of course I'm fine. Do you really want me to be in trouble?"

"Hehe, of course not."

"By the way, how did you guys get here?"

"The entire site was shaking violently before, and we thought you were buried inside. Your wife and Bai Jinhan insisted on going down to find you, but the previous entrance collapsed, so we had to look for another entrance. Now, there should be one under this building."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen turned to look at Bai Ningbing and Bai Jinhan, revealing a gentle smile.

"Alright, we should head back now. By the way, I brought some good stuff with me."

As he spoke, he pulled a dark metal hard drive from his pocket.

"This is all the scientific data preserved in this site."

Upon hearing this, the group's eyes lit up.

They had used up all the bombs they had saved when they were surrounded, which they had initially regretted. But now it's perfect; their trip has finally yielded results!

Hongwu stepped forward and said earnestly:

"You brought this up all by yourself, so it should all belong to you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Chen waved his hand to interrupt him, "Without you, I wouldn't have been able to get in here. Without everyone's joint efforts, I wouldn't have been able to get this thing. Therefore, all the profits will be split equally among us."

"No, you should take the big head, brother. Otherwise, I won't feel at ease," Jiang Cha said.

Zhuge Yue also stepped forward, "That's right, I agree that you should take the lion's share."

"You see, this is what everyone wants," Hongwu said with a smile.

Ye Chen smiled and said, "Alright then, I'll take 25%, and you each take 15%, how about that?"

"OK!"

"Can!"

Jiang Cha counted on his fingers, "25 plus 15 plus 15, wow, brother, your family took fifty-five! I'm thinking of bringing my family in..."

Hongwu glanced at him and said calmly, "If you can also find a wife with dual talents, I will allow you to bring her along."

"Damn it! How many women's doubles prodigies are there in the whole country?! Are you trying to pick a fight?!"

"You think you can show off in front of me just because you have a magical artifact?"

"You son of a bitch...!"

"Alright, alright, let's go back first. Hongwu, call for help."

Hongwu glanced at the indignant Jiang Cha, then casually took out a small pager and pressed it.

……

the other side.

Hong Ba was somewhat surprised to receive the signal.

"How could it be so fast? It hasn't even been two days. Has something happened?!"

With that thought in mind, he quickly left the hotel and rushed towards the city wall.

The soldier in charge was still there. After learning about the situation, he immediately activated the teleportation array to guide the teleportation.

With a flash of white light, Ye Chen and his six companions reappeared on the teleportation array.

Seeing that no one was missing, Hong Ba finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his tone softened considerably:

"Wu'er, why are you back so soon? What happened?"

"Eighth Uncle, let's talk about it when we get back," Hongwu said calmly.

Hong Ba sensed something unusual and immediately realized what was going on.

"Okay, okay."

After saying this, he bowed to the three grandmasters, greeted the soldiers, and then left with the six little ones.

He took the speeding subway back to Kyoto, and after getting into his own car, he finally couldn't hold back anymore.

"Wu'er, what exactly happened in that ruin? It's so mysterious!"

Hongwu and Ye Chen exchanged a glance and nodded.

He then recounted everything that happened after they entered the ruins.

From their initial encounter with foreigners, to their subsequent attack after activating the bio-beasts within the ruins, and then the collapse of the entire ruins, they were once again plunged into a fierce battle.

However, he was unaware of the battle between Ye Chen and Xiao Hua later on. When he got to this point, Ye Chen made up an excuse to brush it off.

Hong Ba didn't ask any more questions; his entire attention was focused on the Virtual Titanium Hard Drive.

"The entire core technology of an unknown civilization?! Good heavens! You've brought back a tremendous treasure!"

"Uncle Ba, we've already discussed it and decided to hand it over to the state. We'll divide the profits among ourselves proportionally."

"Hand it over to the state???"

"Um."

"this……"

Hong Ba fell silent.

Ye Chen and the others exchanged glances.

Hongwu spoke up first: "Eighth Uncle, please speak freely. They are not outsiders."

Hong Ba considered for a moment, then slowly said, "Alright."

"Here's the thing, handing it over to the state is no problem at all. You brought this back, so you have the right to dispose of it. But before handing it over, I still hope to take a look at it first. Of course, it won't be for nothing. Each of you five from the Hong family will receive 100 million as compensation. How about that?"

The group all looked at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen's mind raced.

After a moment, he asked, "Uncle, when you said 'take a look,' do you really mean just one look, or do you have other plans?"

A smile appeared on Hong Ba's lips.

"Alright, kid, let's not beat around the bush. I'll be frank with you. If there's really any valuable technology inside, I'd like to buy it. The price will definitely satisfy you!"

Upon hearing this, everyone, including Hongwu, frowned.

If the information submitted to the state is incomplete and cannot be exclusively controlled, then the overall value of the information will be greatly reduced.

Losing some money is a minor issue; what if the government asks them who they sold some of the data to? Will they tell?

If they tell, it's tantamount to betraying the Hong family; if they don't tell... will the country let them off the hook?

Just as everyone was frowning and wondering what to do...

Ye Chen slowly opened his mouth:

"Uncle Ba, I think it would be better to do this."

Hong Ba looked over, his eyes extremely serious. "Speak."

"We'll directly entrust the Hung family to negotiate with the government on our behalf. We'll give you the entire document, and you can freely use every piece of technology within it. Whether the Hung family keeps it or sells it to the government, we won't be involved at all. Just make sure the money is transferred to us in the end. How about that?"

Hong Ba was stunned upon hearing this.

Then they burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha, very well, you little rascal, you've actually set your sights on me!"

Ye Chen smiled. "What do you think?"

Hong Ba's expression gradually returned to calm, and he looked at Ye Chen with a smile.

"You don't want to take any risks, yet you still get the full reward. Your scheme has been heard throughout the entire capital."

"There's nothing I can do. I come from a humble background and have no connections. If the Hong family, a top-tier family, can lend a helping hand, I will definitely remember your kindness."

Hahahaha.

Ye Chen's words made Hong Ba burst into laughter.

"Alright, alright, I agree! I won't take any profit from this deal. I'll return the full amount to you after the transaction is completed, okay?"

"Thank you, Uncle Ba."

Upon hearing this, the others all breathed a sigh of relief.

This is undoubtedly the best choice, as it avoids offending anyone.

The group looked at Ye Chen with gratitude.
