CHAPTER 981: CHAPTER 981

"Mr. Ou, was the trip here smooth?"

"It was okay. However, I’m in a bit of a rush. If you have nothing else, Mr. Yan, please bring out the goods. I’ve brought everything you requested." Ou Mucen cut straight to the point, seemingly not interested in exchanging too many pleasantries.

The man froze again upon hearing this, probably not expecting the legendary third young master of the Ou Family to be such a tactless person.

After a moment of stiffness, he eventually went to get the items.

Meanwhile, Ying Hao, upon hearing the name "Yan" mentioned by the third young master, immediately approached once the man had left: "Third young master, is this person... could he be the infamous black market kingpin Yan Lao Qi?"

Ou Mucen nodded: "Yes, that’s him!"

Ying Hao took a sharp breath!

Incredible, his young master, even without prior dealings in this field, managed to find such a person.

Ying Hao genuinely gave his young master a mental thumbs up.

Ying Hao knew about Yan Lao Qi; he was a well-known figure in the black market trade. No matter how mysterious the origins of your item, he could always cash it in for you.

Of course, if you wanted to sell something, you only needed to find him.

However, this man was elusive, and no one really knew his whereabouts. People in the trade would just send a message, and someone would handle it, but actually meeting him in person was almost unheard of.

Surprisingly, this time, their third young master found him.

Now that Ying Hao understood the man’s identity, he didn’t doubt the third young master’s intentions. So he sat there and waited.

In just a few minutes, the man returned with a dark red box in his hand. Seeing the two waiting, he brought it over.

"Mr. Ou, this is the item you wanted. Have a look."

Ou Mucen’s eyes brightened slightly as he took the box. He opened it and placed it in front of himself in the light.

It was indeed a deep green Phoenix, crystal clear and vibrant. The rarity of the jade astounded even Ou Mucen, who had seen many rare treasures.

Moreover, what captivated him most was the carving of the Phoenix. It seemed alive, every feather, every detail on its head, its eyes, and the crest were incredibly lifelike. It was the finest piece he had ever seen in his dealings with jade.

"Mr. Ou, are you satisfied? Rest assured, anything from my hands, Yan Lao Qi, is never fake,"

While he was lost in admiration, the man next to him, who had been waiting, spoke up.

Upon hearing this, Ou Mucen closed the box and signaled Ying Hao to bring over the suitcase: "Since I found you, I’m not worried about your goods being fake. But Mr. Yan, could you tell me how you acquired this item?"

"This..."

"Rest assured, the suitcase contains five million dollars. According to our previous agreement, four million is the transaction price for the Jade Phoenix, and the remaining one million is for Mr. Yan to provide me with this answer. How about it?"
