Just past eight in the morning, Shen Qiang's unfinished Body Refinement project was interrupted by an influx of parcels.

Xiu Ju looked at Shen Qiang in terror as he opened each of the sixteen parcels from all over the country, her heart almost jumping out of her throat with tension.

Bianyi was a businessman who specialized in flipping Magical Treasures and antiques; his side businesses involved acting as a Broker for demons and occasionally engaging in extortion and blackmail.

These were things Xiu Ju had long been aware of.

He was very wealthy.

After all, if he were not, he could never afford to play with Magical Treasures that cost tens or even hundreds of millions.

Even though she knew this, as she watched Shen Qiang open the parcels one by one, Xiu Ju was still stunned by the contents of these parcels.

"Xuanwu Skill," "Shura Immortal Technique," "Jade Pill Spell," "Silent Annihilation True Skill," "Heavenly Net Fist," "Water Seven Changes," "Blood Refining Technique."

Just in Cultivation Techniques alone, they found seven books in these boxes.

Just the "Water Seven Changes" alone had a purchase price on the Bounty Hunters platform of eighty million, and Bianyi hadn't sold it, obviously because the price was too low.

This meant that just these seven Cultivation Techniques alone were worth a staggering amount.

That was not all.

None of the sixteen cases was empty.

Each case contained valuable items.

Just the Magic Artifact graded Flying Swords alone totaled three, and all were top grade.

Each was worth at least fifty million or more.

Besides, there were over thirty various rare, perfectly preserved antiques.

Although it wasn't yet certain how much they were worth, Shen Qiang said that even the cheapest one among them was worth over ten million.

This meant that anything Bianyi considered to have collectible value was not cheap.

That was not all.

In one of the safes,

they also found a large amount of securities.

The most shocking thing was that among these items were the complete set of loan mortgage procedures for three companies.

This included Lanpu Network Security, Mingxuan Antiques, and a pawn shop.

The collateral items included a factory, worker dormitories, shops, and inventory.

And all these mortgages were held under the name of a very small investment management firm.

So, without guessing, Shen Qiang knew that the small investment management firm definitely was in Bianyi's hands; some related documents were either carried by Bianyi or hidden somewhere by him. If he had hidden those documents, Shen Qiang naturally did not need to go through a lot of trouble for these three companies.

And if Bianyi carried those documents with him.

Then as long as everything goes smoothly, they would soon become Shen Qiang's possession.

Besides antiques, Magical Treasures, and Cultivation Techniques,

in these boxes, they had indeed found some relatively modern jewelry, and it was certain to be stolen goods.

These were mostly items stolen two years ago.

Shen Qiang was unsure whether these items were stolen by Bianyi, extorted, or purchased.

However.

When Shen Qiang had unpacked these sixteen boxes and lightly tapped each one afterwards.

Shen Qiang laughed.

In the storage ring which packed an electric car, Bianyi possessed more wealth than Shen Qiang had anticipated.

Including the retrieved Fencai Bat Peach Pattern Olive Bottle, a total of thirty-three antiques, all with clear provenance, spotless—Shen Qiang could now place them on the antique shop's counter for sale without any problem.

At a conservative estimate, these thirty-three antiques were worth at least seven or eight hundred million, but how much exactly would require the presence of Boss Ma, Sun Kaiping, or someone from Cheng Xinyi Wealth to confirm, Shen Qiang wasn't sure at that moment.

Beyond these,

Three top-grade Flying Swords and seven Cultivation Technique manuals were probably worth three to four hundred million when speaking conservatively.

These items, Shen Qiang was determined to keep, with absolutely no room for negotiation; as for the three companies and securities, he would certainly not mind acquiring them if the opportunity arose, otherwise, he would let them be.

After all, to create additional complications for them at this critical juncture clearly wasn't wise.

What really made Shen Qiang hesitate slightly was the stolen goods found in Bianyi's safe.

Firstly, there was a fully diamond-set jewelry set "Samaritan Star" which had been stolen two years ago, its market value at the time was 120 million yuan.

The other two jewelry sets were not as expensive, but together, they were worth over a hundred million.

These three sets of jewelry were clearly stolen goods.

Selling them was not lucrative because they were stolen goods; presenting them to the women in his life invited trouble; handing them over to authorities made him somewhat reluctant. After much consideration, Shen Qiang decided the best way to deal with these three sets of jewelry was to hand them over to the Bounty Hunters platform to those who had offered high bounties.

As for whether they were officially sanctioned recoveries or from mysterious collectors, Shen Qiang didn't care.

After all, the notion of returning lost money to its rightful owner—Shen Qiang didn't plan on doing it, as the money he lost since childhood had never been voluntarily returned by anyone.

However, fortunately, in the case of the jewelry, the ruby ring he had given to Xiu Ju, while valuable, had not been confirmed as stolen.

So there was no problem, and Xiu Ju could wear it boldly and with confidence.

Having sorted and arranged his belongings,

Shen Qiang and Xiu Ju, the two of them leaning on the edge of the double bed, looked at the mess of packaging bags, their hearts pounding violently.

"Bianyi is really wealthy," Xiu Ju said, her beautiful eyes filled with astonishment.

Shen Qiang laughed, "It's not that Bianyi is wealthy, it's that I am wealthy, understand?"

Xiu Ju was stunned, then said, "Be careful I go and rat you out."

Shen Qiang burst into laughter, "Using his own tactics against him, this Bianyi, blackmailing me, extorting me, wanting to squeeze every penny out of me, but now the situation has changed. I've retrieved the Fencai Bat Peach Pattern Olive Bottle, and over by the Datong River, they continue dragging their feet, just let me assert the document is forged—in the short term, he has no way to do anything."

"So, it means, now the situation is that he took away my 60 million in cash, while I raided his treasure vault! All these items combined are worth at least two billion."

Xiu Ju looked at Shen Qiang with astonished eyes and said, "I'm really wondering how you could possibly have so much money, and, don't forget, you also offered over three hundred million on the Bounty Hunters platform, I guess you're not getting that money back."

Shen Qiang laughed, "Three hundred million for two billion, do you think there's anything more lucrative than this in the world? Moreover, speaking about these boxes, it merely cost one hundred and seventy million in bounty money; if anyone wants the remaining bounty money, it means my haul is even bigger."

Xiu Ju smiled, just about to say Shen Qiang was daydreaming.

Almost at that same moment, Shen Qiang's phone rang, receiving two text messages.

"[XXX Bank] Your account ending in 7477 has completed a RMB transfer of 500,000,000.00 yuan, RMB balance 500,002,301.17 yuan."

"Bounty Assistant reminds you that we have just paid a 25 million bounty as agreed, 65 million bounty remains, please replenish the bounty accordingly to avoid insufficient bounty balance."
