Chapter 543: Chapter 541: Tongtai’s Thoughts

Sure, here’s the translated text:

"I’m here to find that statue too!"

Tongtai smiled at Yang Qingshu and suddenly added.

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Yang Qingshu was slightly startled.

What does this mean?

Could it be that Tongtai’s ambition hasn’t vanished, and he plans to use the statue to gain extraordinary power?

Thinking of this, Yang Qingshu’s gaze subtlety changed, and a trace of confusion appeared on his face.

"Sigh!"

Tongtai sighed lightly, then said solemnly, "You know, if it weren’t for my greed, none of this would have happened."

"The existence of that statue will surely tempt more people."

"Similar events might happen again in the future."

"So I plan to find the statue and then find a way to destroy it."

"At worst, it must be hidden in a place where no one can find it..."

After hearing these words, Yang Qingshu frowned immediately.

He wasn’t sure how much of Tongtai’s words could be believed.

After all, Tongtai today wasn’t the same simple boy he was back then.

If he were still the Tongtai of those days, he certainly wouldn’t have kidnapped his own grandfather.

So really, it’s not as much about the statue’s temptation as it is about deep-seated greed.

Seeing Yang Qingshu not respond, Tongtai chuckled and asked again, "Qingshu, how long do you plan to stay at Sheng Mei?"

"Around three to four days."

Yang Qingshu replied this time.

He still felt that Tongtai had changed a lot.

Though their friendship still existed, it wasn’t as pure as it once was.

"Qingshu, you’d better stay longer."

Tongtai continued with a smile, "My grandfather might hold the ancestral worship ceremony again."

"By then, you’ll surely be invited."

Yang Qingshu nodded slowly and said, "In that case, I’ll stay a few more days."

After speaking, he sneaked a glance at Tongtai.

If it weren’t for you suddenly causing trouble, why would there need to be another ancestral ceremony?

Then the two chatted about other things and returned to the crowd.

When he took over the live streaming equipment from Anlin, the viewers in the live broadcast room immediately protested.

"Commander Yang, what are you doing? Quickly bring back our little angel!"

"You, a greasy fat man appear in the live room, nearly scared me to death!"

"We want the fresh and cute little beauty, not the greasy dead fat man!"

"I’m warning you, calling Fatty is fine, but don’t add ’dead’ before it, OK?"

"Got it, dead fatty!"

"Give me back Anlin! Give me back my wife!"

"Don’t scream, that’s clearly my wife!"

"Commander Yang, you finally came back! These trash fans just betrayed you!"

"Why are you so keen to report me, could it be you’ve taken a liking to Commander Yang?"

"Oh, stop it! I don’t want to talk to you!"

"That someone weighing over two hundred pounds, saying such a thing... just scary to think about!"

"Oh crap! The hairs on my body are standing up."

"So disgusting! I’m gonna puke!"

"Is there really a fan of Commander Yang in our live stream room? Can’t be true?"

"I thought everyone was here just to enjoy the show?"

Seeing these comments fly across the screen, Yang Qingshu felt speechless.

These lecherous fans, all betrayed when seeing a beauty, utterly shameless!

"You want to see Anlin, there will be plenty of chances!"

"I’m planning to stay at Sheng Mei for another week, you guys just send more gifts, then I’ll let Anlin show up a few times..."

Yang Qingshu chuckled as he spoke.

Upon hearing this, the lecherous fans in the live broadcast room began to send gifts one after another.

Unlike those coquettish borderline female streamers on the platform, Anlin appeared pure and cute, deeply loved by the lecherous fans.

Everyone had grown tired of those glamorous sluts; instead, a pure and lovely little sister was more beloved.

After that, Yang Qingshu’s group of six continued streaming for more than an hour.

Tongtai sent someone over, asking whether Yang Qingshu and others were leaving together.

After asking the opinions of the other five, Yang Qingshu decided to return to Sheng Mei City with Tongtai and Anlin and others.

The Qinawa Clan’s estate was located in the northern part of Sheng Mei City.

Unfortunately, it was flattened by the shock wave of the explosion during the hunt for the monster.

But fortunately, the Qinawa Clan was wealthy, and they had more properties around Sheng Mei.

So Tongtai directly led Yang Qingshu and others to a villa area in the west part of the city.

Everyone had been hustling all day, and they were all very tired.

After being arranged with accommodations, they quickly drifted into dreamland.

In the following days, Yang Qingshu and others started acting separately.

He and Song Qing went on an outdoor fishing live stream, continuing to uphold his title as Air Force Commander.

Zhao Jinde and Ma lived a nocturnal lifestyle, live streaming Sheng Mei’s nightlife for fans.

Although the northern part of the city was bombed into ruins, the other areas weren’t affected at all.

As the citizens who fled returned, the city regained its previous hustle and bustle.

The duo of Little Hou and Old Mu had returned home early.

They initially planned to stay longer, but family issues forced them to end their trip early.

As time went by, the whereabouts of the statue became increasingly mysterious.

Neither the Eagle Country people, nor Talan people, nor any opportunists managed to gain anything.

The statue seemed to have disappeared into thin air; no one could find it.

People even began to suspect that the statue might have been blown to dust in the explosion.

Those holding this idea grew in number, and the treasure seekers in the northern suburbs gradually diminished.

When Yang Qingshu and others returned to the northern suburbs, apart from the persistent explosion pit, few people remained.

"It seems that the statue was really blown away in the explosion!"

Zhao Jinde said with regret.

"Nonsense!"

Hearing this, Ma rolled his eyes and said, "No matter how sturdy, that statue can’t withstand a super bomb!"

"And being at the center of the explosion, it was probably directly blown to dust!"

Zhao Jinde laughed and said, "Then why are the Eagle Country people still searching so hard?"

Those still trying to find the statue in the northern suburbs were almost all hired by Lieutenant Daniel.

As for the Talan soldiers belonging to the Shengmai Command Headquarters, they had long since retreated.

Talan’s military aiding for nearly half a month was already a favor enough.

Nowadays, the Talan government top brass also believed the statue was blown to dust in the explosion.

So why would they continue helping the Eagle Country folks search?

Reluctantly, Lieutenant Daniel had to spend his own money to hire people for the search.

But could less than a hundred find what tens of thousands couldn’t?
