Chapter 223 "Fire Phoenix" has become the undisputed ruler of the underground world.
Next to the practice room is a tea room and a semi-open study. The tea table and tea set inside are not ordinary items; they are probably quite old and would be worth a lot of money if sold as antiques.
Tong Yuheng put the tea set away. It didn't matter who used it; things themselves are innocent. Grandpa would definitely like it; he'd take it back as a gift!
In the study, they also discovered a small secret room. If Tong Yuheng hadn't used his cultivator's divine sense to explore, they wouldn't have noticed this hidden secret room.
Inside the secret room were several antique-style boxes. Each corner of the boxes was covered with intricately carved copper corner protectors, and inside were surprisingly, treasure maps and key keys to mechanisms that the Jin family had established over the years at as many as seven or eight locations around the world!
Heh heh, no wonder there isn't much treasure on this island!
It seems they understand the principle of "not putting all your eggs in one basket." But they never expected that the Tong Yuheng sisters would take all their baskets away!
"Wow! Big sister, there's a pirate treasure map here! Really? They actually believe in this? Do you think the Jin family has so much wealth? Did they steal some of it from pirates?"
Tong Yuhan took out several sheepskin scrolls, opened them and began to look at them. These things were more attractive to her than the confirmed location of the Jin family's treasure.
"Hehe, how would I know? But judging from the things they've collected, the Jin family has definitely been ripping people off!" Tong Yuheng laughed, also very interested in the legendary adventures and treasures.
"History always repeats itself in surprising ways. This scene must have played out at the Jin family's place today too. Hahaha, look! All these treasures are ours now! There must be many more that haven't been unearthed yet, shall we go on an adventure?"
Xiao Wu's eyes sparkled, and Tong Yuheng knew she wanted to go on a sea adventure to dig for pirate treasure! He really couldn't let her stay idle, otherwise she'd definitely cause trouble!
"Don't go now. The ocean is too mysterious. If you want to explore, you have to be fully prepared! Let's talk about the Jin family's treasures first. We'll follow the map. Once you find them, they're yours. What do you plan to do with this money? You know, this is an enormous fortune that many people wouldn't even dare to dream of."
"I'll anonymously donate half of it back to support our country's scientific research. We'll put the rest on hold for now; I'll see what's suitable to invest in first. Hey, could you also give me a white persona? Otherwise, a lot of things will be difficult."
"Okay, then find someone suitable."
To evade various investigations, she needed someone with a real identity to replicate. This would also make it easier to operate openly. This was the identity Tong Yuheng used to open her company in Europe, but it took her a lot of effort to perfect her appearance, even resorting to cultivation techniques.
In addition to needing detailed physical characteristics of the person, the imposter also needs to be familiar with the person's life and experiences, and the smaller the person's social circle, the better.
"Alright, then I'll find a missing orphan to take over his identity!"
"Then you also need to deal with the things behind her first..." Tong Yuheng reminded him.
"If she was murdered, I'll avenge her first!" Tong Yuhan was meticulous and would never just find someone to carry her face around the world.
The two sisters weren't in a hurry, and slowly examined the items in the secret room. There were also some family martial arts manuals in the study, including "Blazing Palm," a powerful and fierce martial art.
She planned to study it carefully before passing it on to her "junior brothers and sisters." Most of them had now reached the level of advanced martial arts masters, and some had even become initial-level martial grandmasters, reaching the level where they could take on disciples. She hadn't asked how many juniors these people had taken on for her in the past few years.
I browsed through the books here. Besides the records of martial arts techniques, there were also some family genealogies passed down from the Jin family's ancestors, as well as their ancestors' "glorious deeds." Many more records detailed the situation of each branch of the family, both domestically and internationally, after they changed their surname to the imperial family.
In these records, Tong Yuhan discovered that the Jin family actually had a hidden faction that she had not investigated!
As expected of a century-old family, they have quite a few backup plans! Currently, this branch of the Jin family is in Europe, and Tong Yuheng feels that she will have a lot to do when she goes back this time.
Tong Yuhan found a well-known law firm that wasn't too concerned with "formalities" and hired two top lawyers to take over the Jin family's legitimate businesses outside.
The car factory was given to her eldest sister, Tong Yuheng, but she was more interested in the construction company, so she kept it for herself. The other businesses remained under her pseudonym.
Xiao Wu also took over the mining project that the Jin family had just signed. For now, the situation remains the same, with the hired people running it. She will send her own people to take over when she has more time.
Suddenly, almost all the powerful figures in the Jin family disappeared mysteriously, and the company was taken over by someone else. The other members of the Jin family naturally sensed something was wrong, so those few who hadn't returned due to various necessary matters and managed to escape were brought out!
They wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to seize the family's assets, but after investigation, it turned out to be a revenge tactic of the Ancient Martial Arts Association. However, now, only a woman from an ordinary ancient martial arts family with no significant background or status has become their agent, manipulating the Jin family's former vast business empire. They inevitably underestimated her and directly attacked her!
Yu Han quickly dealt with these troublemakers and then supported one or two ambitious dissidents within the various gangs controlled by the Jin family, helping them seize control. Signed and fingerprinted appointment letters were issued, and she effectively took control of each faction.
Yu Han preferred to use an Eastern identity, disguising himself as a cool and dashing young man in his twenties when operating within the underground forces. His gender was ambiguous, as he didn't need to be checked for identification within the underground organization.
She often traveled alone in several countries under this guise, making herself impossible to track down. She even gave herself the code name "Fire Phoenix," and quickly subdued several gang forces with her extraordinary wisdom and decisive methods.
In just a few months, "Fire Phoenix" has become the undisputed king of the underworld, stirring up a huge wave in the underground world of two continents!
Tong Yuhan disposed of all the named members of the Jin family who deserved to die, sent the list and photos of the scene back to the Ancient Martial Arts Association to prove that she had completed her mission.
She also promised the Ancient Martial Arts Association's Enforcement Hall that she would continue to track down the remaining Jin family martial artists and eradicate them completely!
