A grown man with a woman’s name! Anyone would laugh if they encountered such a situation. However, Hu Min could not laugh right now. Her expression was extremely ugly as she stared at Lin Jiao’s extended hand. She did not move.
Seeing that Hu Min did not respond, Lin Jiao straightened his body. His smile disappeared as he looked at the people around him and said in a serious tone, “Since these ladies refuse to take the initiative, then we must take the initiative...”
With that, he bent down again and leaned in front of Hu Min. He asked, “I heard you say — jade pendant?”
After hearing him say “jade pendant”, Hu Min trembled even more violently. Her reaction confirmed Yun Qin and Lin Jiao’s guesses. Not only did Hu Min have the jade pendant, but she also knew the secret of the jade pendant.
“So, there is a jade pendant, right?” Lin Jiao smiled and looked at Yun Qin. Yun Qin stared back at him expressionlessly, as if she did not care about what was happening.
“Search them!”
Lin Jiao waved his hand and retreated to the shadows. The people around them surged forward and were about to snatch their bags.
Yun Qin was initially worried that they would find the Pisces jade pendant that she casually placed in her bag. If that happened, they would be in even more trouble. Unexpectedly, Hu Min struggled violently as soon as the others came forward. The people surrounding them were so shocked that they all moved towards her.
“Team Leader Lin, we found it!”
A strong man searched Hu Min’s body and found something made of jade. He raised it high.
Under the faint glow of the fire, Yun Qin saw that the man found the Pisces jade pendant that Hu Min got from her grandmother, Hu Luo. Hu Min’s jade pendant was smaller and had a white texture, not like the one Yun Qin obtained, which was bigger and had a lustrous and warm color.
“Ha.”
Lin Jiao took the Pisces jade pendant, looked at it, and then placed it into his pocket. Then, he rubbed his chin and laughed, “Thief.”
“Who the fuck are you calling a thief? That belongs to me!”
Hu Min, who remained silent ever since they were surrounded, finally exploded after they took her jade pendant. She struggled with all her might, and her face was flushed red as she glared at Lin Jiao and shouted.
Two brawny men guarded Yun Qin. However, since she did not resist at all, no one took her seriously. They only arranged for two people to watch her and did not search her backpack.
“Give it back to me! Give it back to me! You bandits!”
Hu Min was restrained, so she could only fight back by shouting. However, someone stuffed a piece of cloth into her mouth, and she could not make any more sounds.
Lin Jiao didn’t pay attention to them anymore. Instead, he took out a walkie-talkie and whispered, “Young President Qin, I found the jade pendant that Ma Yue stole.”
“Bring it here,” replied from the other side of the walkie-talkie.
Lin Jiao turned his head to look at Hu Min and Yun Qin, who were both restrained, and ordered, “Take them, lead the way.”
Yun Qin was controlled by two of them so she silently followed the team.
In the dark and winding ancient tomb, this group was so familiar with the terrain that they seemed to be strolling in their backyard. Not only did they avoid several traps, but they were also moving quickly towards the depths of the ancient tomb.
However, the more Yun Qin walked, the more she felt that something was wrong. According to their trajectory, they were moving closer and closer to that cave that had that stone coffin and the Soul Bead.
After walking for about ten minutes, the path suddenly cleared up. They entered the main tomb. The surrounding walls were covered with colorful carved patterns.
Lin Jiao and the others did not look at the tomb but walked straight in.
After turning around a corner, a ball of light suddenly appeared in front of them. Beside the fire, a person was kneeling on the ground, and three or four people standing around that person.
Yun Qin focused her eyes and realized that the person tied up and kneeling on the ground was Ma Yue.
