After getting the information, Yamamoto Ryuki returned to the hotel and handed out the information one by one. The deep smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more obvious.

His eyes fell on the first few words at the beginning of the information: "Mr. H, formerly known as Huo Beishan, the eldest son of the former president of Huo's Group..."

He curled his lips sinisterly and called his men over: "Let all the shadow warriors stand by." He tapped the sandalwood table with his fingers, and the brown rice tea in the celadon teacup rippled. "Remember, they must be alive."

The subordinate in black hesitated and said, "Aren't you planning to use business means to bring down the other party..."

"Death is the eternal business war." Yamamoto turned around, the sleeves of his kimono brushed across the ukiyo-e screen, startling the room with a faint fragrance, "Besides, the secret hidden in that jade seal could shake the entire East Asian cultural relics world."

So as long as he keeps them alive, he can still be of great use to them!

The subordinate suddenly realized and gave Yamamoto Ryuki a thumbs up: "Mr. Yamamoto, you are really smart!" Yamamoto Ryuki took the celadon tea set, filled his own teacup with tea, took a sip meaningfully, waved his hand, and signaled his subordinate to do it as soon as possible.

I will take your orders and leave.

Then he instructed another subordinate standing aside, "Check the background of the young man who made the bid just now."

He had participated in many international auctions around the world, but he had never seen that face before, which made him doubt his true identity.

If it weren’t for the unexpected situation, the collection would have fallen into that person’s hands!

He offered such a high price, could it be that... he also knew the secret?

"Yes!" The subordinate bowed and accepted the order.

At this moment in the presidential suite at Roppongi Hills, the crystal chandelier cast tiny spots of light on Mrs. Huo's temples.

Huo Beishan and his wife were in deep worry after their collection, which was about to be acquired, was ruined by an unexpected situation at the auction.

"Abao, are you hurt?"

"I'm fine, Mom. How about you guys?"

She held her son's bony hand, and the jade bracelet and watch made a clear sound when they collided: "We are all fine."

Huo Zunbao finally felt relieved and continued, "If it weren't for the sudden incident just now, 'Mandate from Heaven' would have been in our pockets. Mom and Dad, this time..."

Huo Beishan patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly, "You performed very well this time. You knew how to strike at the most critical moment and deal a fatal blow to your opponent. When you asked for 350 million, Yamamoto Ryuki was obviously hesitant. I could see that he was considering whether it was necessary to bid at that time. He knew my low price, but he didn't know that there was a strong competitor like you. Now I'm afraid... he has already started to investigate your background."

"Hmm." Huo Zunbao seemed to be thinking about something. "Dad, you have always had a special liking for collections with the words 'Mandate by Heaven' over the years. Is there any hidden reason?"

Huo Beishan's expression suddenly paused, and he looked at Mrs. Huo: "It seems that it is time to tell him the truth."

Mrs. Huo nodded and said, "Well, go ahead and tell me."

Looking at the sudden change in the couple's expressions, Huo Zunbao confirmed his guess.

Since he was eight years old, they entrusted him to the care of his uncle who was only a few years older than them, and the couple traveled around the world in search of the collection of "Mandate by Heaven". Until now, nearly twenty years have passed, and they are still looking for the whereabouts of "Mandate by Heaven".

This matter puzzled him for a long time, until today when he had the chance to ask about it.

Seeing the expressions of the couple, he confirmed his guess that there must be some shocking secret behind "Mandate from Heaven".

After Huo Beishan sat down, he looked at him and said, "There are 12 pieces of collections related to 'Mandate from Heaven', including 5 jade seals and tiger talismans, and 7 other pieces of pens, inkstones, paintings, and the four great beasts of Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise. They are all engraved with the words 'Mandate from Heaven' of the Ming Dynasty royal family. These are the treasures of the Zhu family, that is, your mother's family. Your mother is a descendant of the Ming Dynasty royal family. Over the years, your mother and I have been constantly looking for their whereabouts, and we have only found 8 of them. According to the Zhu family genealogy, these 12 collections record the secrets of the entire family, and even the whereabouts of a large number of treasures."

"As the head of the Zhu family, it is your mother's duty and mission to collect all the collections."

The more Huo Zunbao listened, the more mysterious it became.

As far as he knew, there should be quite a few descendants of the Zhu family in today's society.

I heard my family mention it a few times back then, but I didn't take it too seriously.

After all, after the baptism of history, there are many concubines who have survived in anonymity over the years, so it is not something surprising.

But what he never expected was that there was such a confusing thing about the twelve treasures "Mandated by Heaven".

Just like a TV drama, it's incredible.

"So, for all these years, you have been running around the world just to collect these 12 treasures?"

"Yeah." Huo Beishan nodded. "For outsiders, it may not seem like a big deal. But for the descendants of the Zhu family and national cultural relics, it is of extraordinary significance."

Huo Zunbao nodded in agreement, but it was not easy to find all the things that were hundreds of years old.

"We found eight pieces, plus the jade seal at the auction, nine pieces, which means we are still missing the last three pieces. This is like looking for a needle in a haystack in this vast world. Mom and Dad, are you really going to stick with this?"

Without the influence of his parents, Huo Zunbao has never been interested in antiques and cultural relics since he was a child. He can't quite understand their persistence.

"Finding all twelve treasures is our lifelong pursuit. But, Po, you have suffered so much over the years. I regret not participating in your growth, but it is my mission to retrieve the treasures. Will you blame me?"

Huo Zunbao sighed helplessly and smiled indifferently: "Although you are not by my side, I have grown up safely. My uncle is very good to me. Although he is a little strict, he treats me as his own child. I am almost thirty years old now and I know what I want. You can rest assured to do your things, and I will also find ways to help you."

Hearing this, the Huo couple nodded with relief. Mrs. Huo held his hand and said, "It seems that my son has really grown up. By the way, I heard that you have a girlfriend. Is it true?"

Huo Zunbao scratched his head awkwardly: "Yeah."

Mrs. Huo's eyes were full of joy: "That's great! Bring her over to meet us someday. I want to see what kind of girl she is."

Thinking of Gu Xiaotong, Huo Zunbao couldn't help but smile, "She is very beautiful, a girl who is different from ordinary girls. In short... she is very good!"
