…
"Or … is there a ghost?"
The more he thought about what had happened, the more Qin Fang felt that there must be something fishy. He looked at Su Xiaoxiao in surprise. She must know much more than he did.
"You may not expect that although Si Nan is cunning, he was betrayed by his most trusted subordinate …"
Su Xiaoxiao shrugged, pointed to the shipyard and said.
"You should have read some information about Si Nan. He has two most trusted subordinates, Raymond the black-skinned warrior and Hyena the military counselor …"
"Hyena betrayed Si Nan?"
Hearing this, Qin Fang's heart skipped a beat. Raymond had been killed by his spear, but Qin Fang did not see the rest of the hyenas. They should have boarded another ship.
Combined with Su Xiaoxiao's words, it was obvious that it was Hyena who betrayed Si Nan.
"Yes!
It was him … "
Su Xiaoxiao nodded and confirmed this point. "Just now, the two groups were fighting fiercely, but suddenly they stopped. I watched carefully for a while and found that Hyena and a few people were mingling with the other side, and they seemed to be very familiar with each other …"
Hearing this, Qin Fang immediately understood.
Si Nan wanted to plot against the other side, but he did not expect that his most trusted subordinate betrayed him and secretly colluded with the other side. Therefore, when the two sides exchanged fire, the sampan between the two ships fell into the water. The other side was just a group of grave robbers. They might have some armed forces, but they were absolutely no match for the private armed forces of an arms dealer like Si Nan.
But the fact was not so. The grave robbers' firepower was so powerful that they directly suppressed Si Nan's men … After the two ships separated, Hyena's men showed their true colors and directly wiped out Si Nan's subordinates.
In the end, Si Nan did not know anything and thought that Hyena had died in the battle. At that time, Hyena only needed to spread a little news that the thousand-year-old ancient corpse fell into Si Nan's hands, and Si Nan would have to take the blame …
As for Hyena and the mercenary group he found, they disappeared without a trace. When they gathered enough strength and came out again, it would be difficult for others to destroy them.
And from the beginning to the end, Si Nan did not know who was against him …
"What a good plan …"
Hyena deserved to be Si Nan's military counselor. He was so good at deceiving people that even an old fox like Si Nan was fooled.
Of course, Hyena probably didn't expect that Si Nan had been killed by Qin Fang. There was a big flaw in his plan.
What was even more unexpected was that Qin Fang had secretly followed him and was already thinking of a way to steal the thousand-year-old ancient corpse in his hands …
The shipyard was quiet. It was obvious that Hyena had arranged everything. The mercenaries dealt with the corpses while sending the jade coffin to the prepared vehicles. They seemed to be preparing to transport it by land.
"You stay here and keep watch. Cover me … I'll sneak in!"
Qin Fang and the others had limited resources, so they didn't drive here. Once the car drove away, they wouldn't be able to catch up with it even if they wanted to.
Since Hyena had planned everything, he would definitely be able to safely deliver the jade coffin to the designated location. Qin Fang had to take the thousand-year-old corpse away before the jade coffin was delivered.
At the very least, he had to get some corpse oil …
After a simple greeting to Su Xiaoxiao, Qin Fang immediately turned into a black shadow and quickly sneaked into the shipyard.
The shipyard was not small, and most of it was empty.
In order to facilitate the transfer of items, Hyena had already made arrangements. There were not many people in the shipyard, and only a few dim street lights were on in a few places.
Qin Fang quickly sneaked in and went straight to the jade coffin. The thousand-year-old ancient corpse inside was his real goal. He could ignore everything else.
According to the information obtained from Su Xiaoxiao, this thousand-year-old ancient corpse was like a zombie. As long as it left the jade coffin, it would come back to life. Therefore, the possibility of replacing the jade coffin was not high. Not to mention, such a large jade coffin itself was a rare and priceless object. Hyena didn't have the ability to make a fake one even if he wanted to.
…
In the shipyard, the lights were dim, but it was crowded and quite busy.
"Hurry up, hurry up …"
Hyena wasn't very old, probably in his thirties, but his looks were average, giving people a very simple and honest feeling. It didn't match his name at all.
However, Qin Fang did know about Hyena. It was an extremely ferocious and cunning beast, known as the scavenger of the prairie.
Hyena, on the other hand, was not only extremely cunning, but also very vicious. He had been by Si Nan's side for many years and had cleaned up a lot of enemies for Si Nan. He was greatly valued by Si Nan.
For example, half of the transaction plan this time was Hyena's idea. It was precisely because of this that Si Nan was schemed against by Hyena.
"Eriksson, I have to thank you this time. Otherwise, it would have been really difficult for me to escape from Si Nan …"
While commanding his men to quickly transfer the items, Hyena was also talking to the big white man next to him. It seemed that the two of them were quite familiar with each other.
"Hyena, I, Eriksson, owe my life to you. In the words of the people of Chidragon, it's a debt of gratitude that must be repaid with a gushing spring … This is but a small matter. Moreover, the reward you're paying is so generous!"
Eriksson grinned. He actually used a saying from Long Province, but it was obviously a bit of nonsense. It was one thing to deviate from the topic, but Hyena knew very well in his heart.
The life-saving grace was nothing but bullshit. The real reason why Eriksson brought people to help him deal with Si Nan was that he paid a high enough reward.
"Hmph … What an idiot. I'll deal with you later!"
Hyena exchanged a look with the deputy next to Eriksson. Everything was understood without words.
"This is also an investment. This jade coffin is also priceless. After deducting the other expenses, I can still make some money … It's just enough for me to buy a manor in France for my retirement."
Of course, he was still feigning civility with Eriksson …
Eriksson pursed his lips. He was a foreigner and might value diamonds and jewels more, but he wasn't that interested in jade.
This jade coffin might be really valuable, and he was a little tempted to rob it. But this was Long Province. Without Hyena's arrangement, it was impossible for him to transport this jade coffin out of the country, let alone find a suitable buyer.
While Hyena and Eriksson were talking, Qin Fang had already approached the loading point. The jade coffin was carried by eight strong men and was moving towards a car parked at the side.
Qin Fang got a little closer and discovered that it was actually a funeral home's hearse … It seemed that Hyena's plan was really meticulous. He even prepared a vehicle to transport the jade coffin.
Seeing that the jade coffin was being transported, Hyena carefully watched over it the whole time. He was very nervous and cautious …
Putting the value of the jade coffin aside, the thousand-year-old corpse inside was the real treasure. If the jade coffin was accidentally damaged and the corpse came out, it would probably kill all of them in this spacious shipyard …
"Be careful, be careful …"
Hyena reminded him as he stared at him.
Eriksson didn't have any doubts about this. He didn't even know that there was a thousand-year-old corpse inside the jade coffin. This was because the jade coffin required a very special method to open, which he obviously didn't know.
Hyena knew the method from the grave robbers …
As for those grave robbers, they had already been sent to the afterlife by Hyena's men. It was just that the matter was a little big at that time and the relevant departments in Long Province found out. For safety's sake, Hyena had no choice but to drag Si Nan down with him.
The interior of the hearse wasn't very spacious. It could only fit the jade coffin and a few people. However, the lights inside were shining. If Qin Fang tried to sneak in, he would definitely be discovered.
Since he couldn't do anything for the time being, Qin Fang immediately moved his body slightly. Using the shadows in a corner, he quickly shrank to the roof of the hearse.
He quickly shrank his body until it was flat. Sticking to the roof of the hearse, he was blocked by the flowers and green grass covering the hearse. Even if someone ran up to take a look, it would be very difficult to discover him.
Of course, the hearse was originally a very good protection. The people of Long Province valued the dead. They would block any kind of vehicle but not a hearse. That would easily lead to riots.
Dong ~
With a soft sound, the entire hearse sank a little. It was obvious that the jade coffin had been placed inside the hearse. Hyena's voice could be heard.
"Get out, all of you. There's no need for anyone to watch over here …"
Hyena actually sent the few people carrying the coffin away. It seemed that because they were Eriksson's men, he didn't trust them and naturally couldn't let them stay in the hearse.
Hyena didn't stay either. He personally locked up the hearse. Apart from himself, no one else had the key.
Not only that, Hyena personally got into the hearse. He wanted to drive it himself, as if the others weren't worthy of his trust.
"Eriksson, see you later!"
After bidding farewell to Eriksson, Hyena drove the hearse out of the shipyard and set off for the next destination.
As for Eriksson, before he could even react, his vice-commander had already stabbed a knife into his heart.
At the same time, the people left behind by Hyena and the vice-commander's trusted aides quickly cleaned up Eriksson's subordinates and quickly secured victory.
Su Xiaoxiao, who was watching from afar, was stunned by the scene. She didn't expect things to develop so quickly.
If Qin Fang hadn't contacted her and told her to wait at the canal bridge, she would've shot Qin Fang who was lying on top of the hearse.
Qin Fang left with Hyena and naturally didn't know what happened in the shipyard. He was now lying on top of the hearse while Hyena drove alone. With no one following behind, Qin Fang had a lot of freedom.
After removing the decorative flowers and green grass on the hearse, Qin Fang discovered that the vent on top of the hearse was half-open.
Perhaps because of the unpleasant smell in the hearse, the vent wasn't usually closed. This was a great advantage for Qin Fang.
"There's such a good thing?"
Qin Fang was surprised. He immediately opened the vent carefully and shrunk himself into the shape of a stick, easily sneaking into the hearse.
Qin Fang didn't expect Hyena's distrust to create such a good opportunity for him.
This was a jade coffin that had existed for who knows how long. It was said that the corpse inside was a thousand years old. The color of the entire jade coffin had changed. It was slightly yellowed and didn't look very eye-catching.
However, Qin Fang knew very well that this jade coffin was made of the highest quality Hetian jade. It was pieced together in a very strange way to form such a complete coffin.
It was so seamless that one couldn't even see the slightest gap.
The top of the coffin was also closed using a special method. It could only be opened with a special method. Only very experienced grave robbers knew how to open it. Otherwise, it couldn't be opened at all.
Perhaps that was why this thousand-year-old corpse could exist for so long without being discovered.
Qin Fang didn't dare to open the jade coffin now, even though he could use Lockpicking to open the top of the coffin.
With a wave of his hand, Qin Fang put the jade coffin into the item box.
This was the reason why he dared to sneak in alone. Such a large jade coffin could only be carried by eight strong men.
At the very least, a small special team would be needed to steal this jade coffin.
And on such a night, a small team moving out would definitely cause a big commotion. Once he noticed that something was wrong, he would immediately notify his subordinates to come and protect him.
Therefore, Hyena wasn't worried about the safety of the jade coffin at all. That was why he left alone in the hearse.
However, he didn't expect Qin Fang to sneak in alone and take away the jade coffin. When he found out that the jade coffin was missing, he probably couldn't figure out the reason even if he cracked his head.
After putting away the jade coffin, Qin Fang carefully climbed out of the vent and closed it again. Then, he carefully slipped down from the back of the hearse and finally slipped away from the bottom of the hearse under the cover of the night.
The hearse gradually went away. Qin Fang didn't appear and left again.
"It's finally in my hands!"
Only then did Qin Fang let out a long sigh of relief. At least there weren't any twists and turns. This jade coffin that stored the thousand-year-old corpse and caused dozens of innocent people to lose their lives had finally landed in his hands without anyone noticing.
Poor Hyena. He had tried so many ways to set up so many people, but in the end, it was all for Qin Fang. When he found out that the jade coffin was missing, he would probably throw up dozens of taels of blood.
