168: Storage Treasure

After County Magistrate Geng Yun sent Zhu Nan back to the reception area, he was about to leave when he suddenly saw Lei Hao rushing over, reporting, "Sir, this is bad!"

His heart tightened, and he quickly asked, "What is it?"

"Just now I went to check the warehouse where Eunuch Zhu brought those items, and I found that everything inside is gone!" Lei Hao said anxiously.

"What?! All gone?!" County Magistrate Geng Yun exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, I saw Ninth Young Master leave empty-handed, so I figured he just went in to look around, but I didn't expect everything to be gone in the blink of an eye. What should we do?!" Lei Hao was so anxious he was at a loss.

County Magistrate Geng Yun also broke out in a cold sweat. He had seen those items with his own eyes and moved them with his own hands. They were all rare and priceless. If they were lost under his watch, even if he were to be cut up, he couldn't compensate for it!

"Investigate! Immediately trace them! No matter what, you must recover all of them!" County Magistrate Geng Yun roared loudly.

"Wait!" A slightly sharp voice came, and it was Zhu Nan who walked out of the reception room and spoke.

County Magistrate Geng Yun was startled. Seeing it was Zhu Nan, his face instantly turned pale, and he said tremblingly, "Eunuch, there was a slight accident with those items. Don't worry, I will definitely recover all of them..."

Zhu Nan waved his hand and said with a smile, "You don't have to worry, those items have all been taken by Ninth Young Master!"

"What?!" County Magistrate Geng Yun and Lei Hao exclaimed in shock.

Zhu Nan continued, "Ninth Young Master's abilities are beyond your imagination! Even the items in my room were all taken away by Ninth Young Master with a wave of his hand! So you don't need to worry about this anymore, but this matter must never be revealed, remember! Remember!"

"Yes! Your subordinate understands!" County Magistrate Geng Yun quickly responded solemnly.

After the false alarm, County Magistrate Geng Yun and Lei Hao left, but they were incredibly shocked all the way. They couldn't imagine what method Long Yuan used to take away so many items with a wave of his hand. This was simply a legendary immortal's technique!

"Sir, Ninth Young Master he..." Lei Hao hesitated.

"Shh! Do not speak ill of the imperial family!" County Magistrate Geng Yun immediately said.

"Yes! This humble one understands!"

"Now, let's go to the airport to pick someone up!" County Magistrate Geng Yun said.

The two rushed out of the County Government Building and drove straight towards Fengyang Airport...

Since the plane disappearance incident last time, many people dared not take planes, so Fengyang Airport was originally deserted. However, in recent days, planes have been appearing continuously, and most of them were private jets flying in from other places, which made the airport staff a bit confused about the situation. But these private jets generally had connections, so they dared not ask too many questions; as long as they met the procedures, they were all cleared for departure!

What made the airport staff even more speechless was that County Magistrate Geng Yun had personally come here to pick up an Eunuch two days ago, and now he was bringing a group of people to pick up someone again!

They immediately perked up, their eyes intently fixed on the distant sky. After a while, a silver-white plane appeared on the distant horizon. As it approached, a large 'Geng' character was printed on the wings and tail. Everyone immediately understood that it was someone from the Geng Family!

After a while, the plane landed, and the cabin door opened. A short-haired, burly man with a few similarities to County Magistrate Geng Yun walked out. Behind him, a group of people carried large and small bags. County Magistrate Geng Yun, along with Lei Hao and others, rushed up to help. The person who arrived was County Magistrate Geng Yun's father, and also the Grand Elder of the Geng Family, Geng Rutai, a Late Stage Martial General. Among the large group of people behind him were the direct relatives of the three women who were burned, as well as some people responsible for miscellaneous tasks. They were indeed well-trained and quickly packed up their luggage, driving or riding on unicorn horses towards the County Government...

Geng Rutai, County Magistrate Geng Yun, and Lei Hao were in one car. Geng Rutai's first words were, "Have those cultists made any moves?"

"Not yet! There's no new information from that mysterious person, but we've already secretly locked onto those few middle schools! We suspect the cultists might have infiltrated them!" County Magistrate Geng Yun responded.

"Oh? Are there any suspicious targets?" Geng Rutai's eyes lit up as he asked.

"Not yet. We haven't officially announced an investigation, mainly because we're afraid of alerting them! We thought it would be better to act after you and Qi Team Leader arrive!"

"Alerting them? Not bad, it seems your progress has been considerable this year in Fengyang!" Geng Rutai's face showed satisfaction.

County Magistrate Geng Yun felt ashamed and, after thinking, decided to speak directly, "This wasn't my idea, but Ninth Young Master's!"

"Ninth Young Master?!" Geng Rutai didn't react for a moment.

"It's Long Yuan!"

"It's him?!" Geng Rutai said in surprise.

"Yes!"

County Magistrate Geng Yun roughly recounted to Geng Rutai about Zhu Nan's arrival these past two days and Long Yuan's secret meeting with him today. Geng Rutai's expression was slightly solemn, and when he finally heard that Long Yuan alone took away all the items from a large warehouse, he was so shocked that his eyes widened, and he asked suspiciously, "Is this confirmed?!"

"Father, those things were all put into the warehouse by me and Little Lei with our own hands, and some were placed in Eunuch Zhu's room. They were all full, but when Long Yuan left, whether in Eunuch Zhu's room or the warehouse, all the items were gone! That was enough for dozens of people to move for half a day!" County Magistrate Geng Yun said loudly.

"Is that so?! Could it be..." Geng Rutai had a thoughtful expression.

"What is it?" County Magistrate Geng Yun quickly asked.

"Long Yuan might have some kind of storage treasure on him!" Geng Rutai gritted his teeth and said.

"Storage treasure? What is that?" County Magistrate Geng Yun asked in surprise.

Geng Rutai said thoughtfully, "I once heard that the Xuanji Tower Master has such a storage treasure. Those items can be stored inside under the guidance of their Qi, and can be taken out at any time when desired!"

"Oh my God!!!" County Magistrate Geng Yun and Lei Hao both exclaimed. Such a treasure was truly unheard of for them. Today could be said to be an eye-opener!

Geng Rutai said enviously, "With such a storage treasure, travel becomes incredibly convenient. There's no need to carry so many suitcases and bags. And for Long Yuan to be able to take away so many items, it shows that the internal space of the storage treasure he has must be quite large. The value of such a treasure is immeasurable!"

"Wow!!!" County Magistrate Geng Yun and Lei Hao listened, almost drooling...

However, Geng Rutai suddenly said solemnly, "This is just my guess. You must remember not to reveal it, otherwise it might attract the attention of those with ulterior motives towards Long Yuan!"

"Yes!" County Magistrate Geng Yun and Lei Hao quickly responded in unison.

Geng Rutai nodded and pondered, "Long Yuan is definitely not simple. This time, our Geng Family must conduct a comprehensive evaluation of him. If he can meet the standards required by our Geng Family, then our Geng Family might as well tie ourselves to him in the future!"

County Magistrate Geng Yun trembled all over and eagerly asked, "Is this your intention, Father?"

"No, it's Old Ancestor's intention!"
