Unfortunately, the jewel thief had already killed himself. Yang Shuoxuan had no way to make a dead man talk. The only lead left was that encrypted phone—he could only hope it contained some clue.

Seeing Yang Juehuan's expression brighten and then darken again, Jing Yu understood that Yang Ce must have thought of something too—but that jewel thief was probably already gone.

"The boss behind the scenes traded the stolen jewels to get that thief back," Yang Ce said with a helpless sigh.

"So that's how it was. Then you can't be blamed—jewels that precious, if they're really lost, there's no way anyone could afford to make it good." Jing Yu had no idea how much Yang Mo Yi was worth; she only knew that the treasures Yang Ce spoke of casually were worth hundreds of millions of dollars apiece. Even if all the companies—Mingyang Entertainment and the rest—belonged to Yang Juehuan, together they still wouldn't be worth the price of a single one of those jewels!

Compensate—of course Yang Ce could afford to compensate. It was just that he couldn't tell Jing Yu that the jewel thief was dead; until he had gotten to know Jing Yu a little better, he was not about to talk to her about killings and dead men.

"But the way you tell it, these two matters really might be connected!" Yang Wenru knitted his brows. "In that case, it looks like Right Elder and that mysterious boss were in league from the very start? That's certainly possible."

Yang Ce felt the whole affair was getting muddled. If the boss behind the scenes had been working with Right Elder from the beginning, then it was becoming rather hard to tell just who was targeting him.

Was it Right Elder targeting him and enlisting the boss behind the scenes for help? Or the boss behind the scenes targeting him and enlisting Right Elder for help? Or were the two of them both after him and had simply hit it off at once?

"What are you thinking about?" Jing Yu watched Yang Ce's shifting expression and asked, "Are you thinking that now you can't tell who's actually targeting you?"

Yang Xutang, having heard Jing Yu's words, gave an involuntary nod.

"Silly, why must you draw such fine distinctions?" Jing Yu suddenly covered her mouth and laughed. "Whoever among them is coming after you, now that they have joined forces, they are all your enemies. Why do you still need to sort them out so neatly?"
