章節 111: Uncovering the Mines

Mafan had to be cautious and climbed on a tree to hide, waiting for Qinfen. After a few hours he thought it was Qinfen whom he heard approaching the mines. He was about to climb down when he noticed the footsteps were more than just one. 

"I fear what you say is true. There has been some evidence that a lot of people were here not too long ago."

It was a voice that seemed familiar to Mafan. He waited for the person to get near and as it did, his whole body went cold.

It was Ming and Xinyi with the estate guards behind them. The former saw some rocks piled in an open area while tools were left on the ground. Fresh footsteps were also clear as day.

Mafan was flabbergasted. "What? Why are they here? How did they find out? The workers couldn't have let the cat out of the bag after my hypnotism power." He couldn't think of anyone selling him out. "Damn, I won't let you stop my plans when the stone is already within my grasp."
