"As the saying goes, you can know a person's face but not their heart. Although Long Sanye and Long Ye have a close relationship, Long Ye is unaware of what Long Sanye truly thinks."
"When I interrogated the treasure thief, he personally admitted that Long Sanye deliberately framed President Xu using this method to covet the position of President of the Antique Association."
"Utter nonsense!"
As soon as Li Yang finished speaking, a sharp voice suddenly came from outside the hall.
Everyone turned their heads and saw Long Dingxiong entering with a stern expression.
After approaching the crowd, he looked at Li Yang and said, "What is your intention, slandering me, Long, here? Even if I wanted to be the President of the Antique Association, I wouldn't need to frame President Xu with such a serious accusation."
"President Xu and I have always had a good relationship, and President Xu understands my character very well. How could I, Long, be someone without principles?"
"Yes, Mr. Li, this matter should not be the work of Long Sanye. He is now the Vice President of the Antique Association, second only to me in authority. Why would he inexplicably frame me with such a serious charge?" Xu Shenglong also questioned, looking at Li Yang.
"President Xu, this was not said by me, but by the treasure thief. If you don't believe me, send someone to Jiangcheng's Ziyun Mountain right now, go to the cave in the northwest direction, and bring back the jewels and the witness," Li Yang said to Xu Shenglong in front of Long Sanye and Long Ye.
"This..."
Xu Shenglong fell into deep thought.
What Li Yang said was always reliable. If Li Yang had no evidence, he would never have said these words.
Could all of this be true?
"Dad, since Li Yang has said so, why don't you send someone to Ziyun Mountain to see if there are any jewels and witnesses in the cave that Mr. Li mentioned?"
"If there are, it means what Li Yang said is true. If not, it means it's false," Long Lingling also firmly believed that Li Yang would not lie, and turned to look at Long Dingtian.
"Alright, as you say."
Long Dingtian was now extremely curious and unsure of the truth.
After considering it, he decided to send someone to Ziyun Mountain to verify.
If he had wrongly accused Xu Shenglong, he would not hesitate to apologize to President Xu personally and offer compensation.
But if this matter was true, then Xu Shenglong must be severely punished, and he must hand over the jewels.
"Wait a moment!"
Just as Long Dingtian's subordinate was about to leave, Long Dingxiong suddenly spoke, "If the jewels and witnesses are not found in the cave later, then this kid is talking nonsense. How will my elder brother punish him then?"
"This..."
Long Dingtian frowned. He knew that Li Yang was trying to help, and even if what Li Yang said was false, there was no need to punish him.
However, Li Yang had been very firm in saying that it was his third brother's doing. Given his third brother's temper, this matter would likely not be let go.
"If there are no jewels and witnesses in the cave, you can deal with me as you please. I will have no complaints," Li Yang said confidently.
"Good, you said it. We didn't force you."
Long Dingxiong had been waiting for Li Yang's words. He glanced at Li Yang with cold eyes and thought, "You want to fight me, do you really think I'm a pushover?"
If I didn't have absolute confidence, why would I be here to deal with you?
In fact, Long Dingxiong had received news that two treasure thieves had mysteriously disappeared in Ziyun Mountain. After entering a cave, they had not come out. He suspected that something unexpected had happened.
Therefore, he had already sent people to Ziyun Mountain to retrieve the box of jewels. Judging by the time, they should have arrived at Ziyun Mountain by now.
Even if Long Dingtian's people set off for Ziyun Mountain now, and after arriving and finding the cave, they would definitely not be able to retrieve the box of jewels.
Either the jewels had already been discovered and moved, or his people would directly move the jewels after arriving.
In any case, Long Dingtian's people would definitely not have a chance.
Subsequently, Long Dingtian dispatched his men to the cave in Ziyun Mountain.
While waiting, Li Yang made an excuse to go to the restroom because Li Yang saw the confident expression on Long Dingxiong's face, which clearly indicated that he had made prior arrangements.
After going to the restroom, he immediately called President Feng of Jiangcheng and asked him to go to the cave in Ziyun Mountain to search for the box of jewels and find the jewels and witnesses at all costs.
After making the arrangements, he got up and walked out of the restroom. He saw two burly bodyguards standing at the entrance of the restroom, all arranged by Long Dingxiong.
Long Dingxiong was worried that Li Yang would escape, so he kept people watching him at all times, not giving him a chance to run.
"Brothers, do you have to stare at me like that? If I wanted to run, you wouldn't be able to stop me."
Li Yang immediately recognized their purpose, mocked them dismissively, and calmly returned to Long Dingxiong's side.
Long Dingxiong was still confident at this moment, believing that his plan was foolproof.
But he didn't know that when his people arrived in Ziyun Mountain and found the cave, President Feng had also sent people to the mountain. The two forces approached the cave simultaneously, and it remained to be seen who could snatch the box of jewels.
"Big brother, look quickly, there's someone inside."
Long Dingxiong's subordinate arrived at the cave first. After one subordinate walked in, he immediately discovered the jewelry box inside, as well as the man eating wild fruit next to the box.
The man, upon hearing the shouts outside, immediately became vigilant, his eyes deep as he said, "Who are you people? Who sent you here?"
"Kid, are you the one Long Dingxiong, Long Sanye, sent to deliver the goods?"
The leading man walked in and asked the man in front of him sternly.
"How do you know my identity? What do you want?" The man was full of vigilance, feeling that the newcomers were not here for anything good.
"Hmph, you kid betrayed Long Sanye. Long Sanye specifically ordered us to deal with you and transfer the jewels. Your death day has come."
The leading man waved his hand and immediately ordered his subordinates to go and kill him and take away the treasure chest.
His two subordinates drew their swords without hesitation and boldly walked towards the man.
A cold glint flashed in the man's eyes. As they were about to approach, he suddenly buried his head in the ground, picked up a poison pellet with his mouth, bit it open, and sprayed out a stream of black smoke.
Instantly, the cave, which was already small, was enveloped by this black smoke!
The subordinates who had not yet rushed over, upon smelling the smoke, immediately foamed at the mouth, their bodies convulsing non-stop, and they quickly died!
"What?"
The leading man was greatly shocked and realized that the smoke was poisonous. He immediately turned to run out of the cave.
But before he could run out, he felt something blocking his throat, making him unable to breathe, and he collapsed on the spot.
He struggled on the ground for not long before he also died on the spot!
"I didn't expect Long Sanye's people to have found me. The news is really fast. I wonder when Mr. Li will return. I've already used the poison pellet. If more people come, I'll be in danger," the man thought to himself.
Thump, thump!
As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps could soon be heard from outside the cave!
