Qing Kong Yue Zhang was incredibly pleased. He was an antique expert himself, and to appraise this item, "Bi Lan Bi Yan," he immediately began his research at home.
Within half an hour, he was stunned. His nearly forty years of research experience told him this object was extraordinary, fit only for the heavens.
The foremost expert in Miao Hai City, Qing Kong Yue Zhang, concluded his appraisal with two words: "Priceless!"
Uncle Feng, who served as both appraiser and bodyguard, was also shocked. "A priceless treasure?"
Qing Kong Yue Zhang nodded with a solemn expression. "Whether in terms of material or craftsmanship, it is perfect. If we were to compare its artistry to any master, it could only be to our departed ancestors."
Uncle Feng, wearing white gloves, examined it closely. "The world's most flawless sapphire comes from Europe, and even then, it's only semi-transparent. This piece, with its craftsmanship so exquisite that it appears almost ethereal, is truly bizarre."
Qing Kong Yue Zhang was immensely excited. "And this peculiar golden bezel; even blending meteorite gold with pure gold could never produce such an identical work."
Uncle Feng hit the nail on the head. "Does this item have a name? And where did it originate?"
Qing Kong Yue Zhang's chest heaved. "Quick, Uncle Feng, investigate immediately!"
Uncle Feng took his orders. "Yes, Patriarch."

Meanwhile, the Yuan family had, overnight, absorbed and acquired all of the Wang family's industries, completely cutting off their financial lifeline.
The Wang family...
"Damn it! The Yuan family took advantage of our Wang family's financial shortage, empty inventory, and colluded with major shareholders to withdraw their investments, allowing them to succeed! Damn it! Argh!" The moment Wang Zhe received the news, he suffered a heart attack and was rushed to the hospital.
At present, Wang Guo, Wang Qian Qian, and Qu Wan Ning were by Wang Zhe's side. Although Wang Guo had three broken ribs, he was a martial artist. As long as he didn't exert himself, he could walk with his sister's support for now.
Ming Zhi Tian arrived with Xiao Hong. He saw Wang Zhe lying on the hospital bed, his face pale and weak, looking as if a gust of wind could scatter him.
He looked vastly different from when they first met yesterday, appearing much older. Ming Zhi Tian stepped forward and asked, "What happened? What's wrong with Grandpa?"
Wang Guo gritted his teeth and said, "The Yuan family is too overbearing! They caused Dad's heart attack. Dad has always had heart disease, and I, his son, didn't even know. I deserve to die!"
Ming Zhi Tian frowned slightly. "The Yuan family again. It seems we can't let them get away with this."
He then comforted them. "Wang Guo, don't blame yourself. It's all the Yuan family's fault. Don't worry, I'll get justice for you. Please look after Xiao Hong for me, I'll be right back."
Wang Guo was startled. "Brother Zhi Tian, where are you going?"
Ming Zhi Tian waved his hand. Xiao Hong, being well-behaved and understanding, walked to Wang Qian Qian's side. "Big Brother is going to fight the bad guys, and Sister, your job is to protect me."
Wang Qian Qian smiled gently. "No problem! You're so cute."
Before Ming Zhi Tian could even leave the hospital, the housekeeper delivered a blind box. When Wang Qian Qian opened it, she was terrified!
It was a bloody dog's head. Qu Wan Ning tearfully picked up the dog's head, her eyes red, and said, "Bobby..."
"What? Bobby?" Wang Guo was enraged. That was their Wang family's dog, their most obedient pet, and his mother Qu Wan Ning's beloved dog.
"This is utterly despicable! Wait..." Wang Guo seemed to have thought of something.
"Oh no! Grandma!" Wang Qian Qian also realized.
Qu Wan Ning quickly said, "Let's hurry home!"
Wang Qian Qian supported Wang Guo, their pace slow. Ming Zhi Tian was already sprinting away.
