After resolving the matters here, Ye Tian asked Zhou Mang to stay and take over the sand quarry, while Zhou Mang sent him to the hotel.
After resting at the hotel for one night, Ye Tian asked Zhou Mang to prepare a car the next day. Zhou Mang had one of his subordinates drive an S680. This car, with its V12 engine and top-tier configuration, cost over four million yuan upon purchase.
Zhou Mang didn't originally own such a good car. He found a friend and bought one overnight. His friend had only owned the car for half a month, but Zhou Mang bought it from him at the original price, all for the purpose of picking up the sect leader.
After having breakfast at the hotel and practicing his skills for a while, around ten o'clock, he asked the driver to head to the airport. The company had chartered a plane, which was scheduled to land at ten-thirty, so he needed to get there in advance.
The car arrived at the airport, and Ye Tian went to the arrival hall. While waiting, he saw a beautiful young woman in ethnic attire, looking expectantly at the stream of passengers. However, all the passengers had left, and she hadn't met the person she was waiting for.
Ye Tian sensed her extreme disappointment as she turned and quietly walked away.
This was just a glimpse of the world's many facets, and Ye Tian had merely stumbled upon it. But the moment the woman turned, Ye Tian noticed a black jade bracelet on her wrist. With just one glance, he felt the bracelet possessed considerable spiritual power.
After a moment's hesitation, he chased after her and said, "Hello, beautiful. Can you do me a favor?"
The woman stopped and turned to look at Ye Tian. "What is it?"
Ye Tian smiled. "You were waiting for someone just now, weren't you?"
The woman nodded. "I was waiting for my elder brother. He went abroad to study five years ago and hasn't been heard from since. But he said if he returned, he would be on this flight. I've been waiting for four years, and he's never shown up."
Ye Tian was silent for a moment, then asked, "Is your elder brother your boyfriend?"
The woman nodded gently.
Ye Tian: "Has he been in contact with you at all?"
The woman shook her head. "We were in touch the first year, but after that, contact was lost."
Ye Tian: "How about this, I know some friends who can help you find out about your boyfriend's current situation?"
The woman was delighted. "That would be wonderful, thank you!"
Ye Tian asked for her name and then had Ren Ping use his connections to investigate. These overseas students have national records, so it wasn't difficult to find them.
After handing over the information to Ren Ping, he smiled. "I wanted to ask for your help just now, but actually, I wanted to see the black bracelet you're wearing. May I?"
The woman glanced at her wrist and nodded gently. "Yes, it was left to me by my grandmother."
She took off the bracelet and handed it to Ye Tian. As Ye Tian held the bracelet, he felt a space within it. A thought crossed his mind: could this be a spatial artifact?
He asked, "Beautiful lady, are you selling this bracelet?"
The woman was taken aback for a moment and asked, "How much would you give me for it?"
Her boyfriend's expenses while studying abroad were high. In the first year, he often asked her for money. Later, when she ran out of funds, their contact ceased.
Ye Tian smiled. "Something like this, left by your family, is priceless. So, you name a price. If it's reasonable, I'll buy it."
The woman thought for a moment and said, "How about five hundred thousand?"
As she quoted the price, Ye Tian also received the investigation results from Ren Ping. The man's name was Bai Runliang, and he had gone abroad five years ago. He attended a diploma mill and wasn't very diligent, buying his diploma for twenty thousand US dollars. After graduation, he worked odd jobs abroad and even got a local girlfriend. His girlfriend's family was well-off; her father owned a chain of restaurants and was worth tens of millions of dollars.
Currently, Bai Runliang had become the manager of one of the restaurants, and his career was on track. Furthermore, he had married his girlfriend three months ago, and less than two months later, they had a child.
Seeing this information, Ye Tian sighed softly and asked the woman, "If your boyfriend no longer loves you, can you accept that?"
