Chapter 629 Yu Nan’s Analysis
Upon hearing the word "opportunity," Yu Nan immediately thought of the Gate of Heaven and Earth that his father had researched!
So he promptly asked, "Big Brother Lin, do you know about the Gate of Heaven and Earth?"
"What’s that? I’ve never heard of it!" Lin Qi shook his head.
"My father found it in ancient Huaxia texts; it’s said to have the ability to traverse time and space!"
Yu Nan was brimming with excitement as he continued, "If we found it, perhaps we could fulfill the wish to travel back and forth between two worlds!"
Yu Nan had expected Lin Qi to be very interested, and perhaps decide to join him in searching for the Gate of Heaven and Earth in Huaxia.
Unexpectedly, Lin Qi just smiled faintly, "If it exists, that might not necessarily be a good thing!"
The excited Yu Nan was suddenly at a loss for words and asked incredulously, "Why?"
"Trouble will occur!"
Lin Qi looked at him, "When two completely unfamiliar civilizations meet, they definitely won’t become friends immediately. The first thing that will happen is suspicion and caution!"
"And perhaps it will even be the stronger party plundering the other!"
Hearing this, Yu Nan nodded in agreement, but deep down, he didn’t let go of his obsession with the Gate of Heaven and Earth.
He couldn’t help but ask, "Big Brother Lin, don’t you want to go back to that world?"
"I did when I first came here, but now that I have a family and children, I no longer wish to return." Lin Qi shook his head.
A weight settled in Yu Nan’s heart.
He knew then that he couldn’t persuade Lin Qi.
So after that, he decided to search for the Gate of Heaven and Earth by himself!
After returning to America, he dug out his father’s research materials and began to study them. Over the next ten years, he traveled frequently between America and Huaxia, with all his efforts aimed at finding the key to another world, to fulfill his dream of extending his own life.
Upon hearing this, Ling Feng furrowed his brow and asked, "So, have you seen Lin Qi again since then?"
"I had contact with him in the first year or two, but then we lost touch. I once went to his home to look for him, but the neighbors said he and his family had moved away. As for where they went, no one knows," Yu Nan replied.
"So, you’re saying you can’t find him now?" Ling Feng inquired.
Yu Nan shook his head with a wry smile, "I’ve had people searching for him these past few years, but unfortunately, there’s been no clue."
A flicker of doubt crossed Ling Feng’s eyes, "Is that really so? Wasn’t that jade bracelet something he wanted to steal?"
Expecting his question to shock Yu Nan, to his surprise, Yu Nan just shook his head with a bitter smile, "That wasn’t him; it was someone else!"
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Ling Feng thought he was finally getting to the heart of the matter!
So he looked at Yu Nan and asked, "If I’m not mistaken, these people are from that other world, right?"
"How did you know?"
Yu Nan was momentarily taken aback, then it dawned on him, "Right, with your abilities, finding this out shouldn’t be hard!"
Ling Feng looked at him, "What abilities?"
"Having access to so many Spirit Stones signifies that you’re no ordinary Cultivator. I believe your future potential is boundless, and that’s why I’m laying all my cards on the table," Yu Nan explained.
"Hmm?"
Ling Feng raised an eyebrow, "What does that mean? Are you planning to join the security bureau?"
"Why not? I’m not a criminal anyway. Being arrested for selling Spirit Stones without even going to court—after all, there aren’t many who know about this!"
"And strictly speaking, I’m not a bad person; I’ve never done anything against national interests!"
Ling Feng: "..."
What he said wasn’t wrong. Although this guy had traveled around Huaxia and dug up some ancient tombs, it was only to find clues to the Gate of Heaven and Earth. He never touched any valuable artifacts; all were handed over to the national heritage administration!
In fact, his arrest was because the headquarters had realized the gravity of the situation and found an excuse to do so.
Seeing Ling Feng deep in thought and silent, Yu Nan continued, "To the security bureau, I’m still quite valuable!"
"Why do you do this?" Ling Feng asked.
"Because I feel you’re not ordinary and you’re worth the investment. Simply put, it’s nice to seek shade under a big tree!" Yu Nan said.
Ling Feng: "..."
The response was straightforward, without beating around the bush!
So, with a wry smile, Ling Feng looked at him and asked, "You’ve decided quite quickly, just based on those Spirit Stones?"
"That’s more than enough!"
Yu Nan nodded, "I’m a businessman. Allying with you is akin to a life investment, and whether it’s investing in a person or a business, I’ve always been very decisive!"
Ling Feng smiled, "There’s no rush to decide on this matter. Even if I agreed, it wouldn’t matter. It needs the bureau’s opinion!"
"I know that!"
Yu Nan nodded, then said, "But now, let me show some sincerity!"
"Then let’s make it quick; we’ve already wasted plenty of time!" Ling Feng said.
Yu Nan smiled slightly, his eyes twinkling, "So, what you’re most concerned about isn’t the Gate of Heaven and Earth, but those people!"
Ling Feng: "..."
An offhand comment had inadvertently laid bare his thoughts; this Yu Nan was indeed intelligent.
"I know of three people who came to me a year ago. As for their purpose, they only told me to locate those on Earth with Spirit Stones," Yu Nan said.
Ling Feng: "And then?"
Yu Nan shook his head, "I don’t know more than that. However, an incident occurred last year in the Demon Capital where a foreign agent was killed; you must know about it, right?"
"Uh..."
Ling Feng had a wry expression, feeling no need to hide it anymore, and he said, "Not only do I know about it, but I was also one of the people involved!"
"Do you know Luther?" Yu Nan inquired.
"Yes, I arrived at the scene after he was attacked. He was critically injured and couldn’t speak. Later, I was the one who notified the local security bureau. What, his death is related to those three people?" Ling Feng questioned.
"I don’t have solid evidence, but I feel that it is likely the case because I was the one who informed them about Luther bringing Spirit Stones to Huaxia," Yu Nan revealed.
Ling Feng suddenly understood, "If it was them, that would make sense. It’s been over half a year since the incident. At that time, I even promised to avenge him, but I’ve never found out who the killer was!"
Looking at Yu Nan, he said, "If they were after the Spirit Stones, they probably wouldn’t let you go to Europe to sell them, right?"
Yu Nan shook his head, "You don’t know the full story. I was taken on the plane and sent over to Europe to ostensibly sell Spirit Stones, but it was actually to lure someone out—he had two top-quality Spirit Stones!"
Ling Feng narrowed his eyes, "Are you saying they wanted to find this person and then kill him?"
