Sun Man cleared all traces and extracted the reverse needle from Wang Long's body. Looking at Zeng Liang and Wang Long, he said, "Even if you fell victim to Li Changjiang's remaining followers while pursuing him, I will ensure you both receive a proper burial when we return."
Sun Man then buried Deng Gang's head deep in the ground and let out a long sigh, murmuring, "Finally done. I can go back and get a good night's sleep now!"
In the distance, dark clouds slowly gathered, and the rain began to fall more heavily. Sun Man wiped the rain off his face and turned towards Mou Shui City. After walking for a while, he suddenly caught a whiff of an unusual grassy fragrance. The scent was as refreshing as dew on grass but should not have been present in this downpour. Sun Man couldn't help but stop, his gaze unconsciously shifting. At the edge of the woods, through the curtain of rain, a figure emerged—slender and indistinct through the raindrops, yet somehow familiar to him.
Sun Man stood still until the figure approached closer, then suddenly called out, "Bai Yiming?"
Upon hearing Sun Man's voice, the newcomer halted and laughed heartily, "Master Sun."
A hint of suspicion crossed Sun Man's face as he asked, "What are you doing here?"
"Hehe, since Master Sun can come here, why can't I? Is there something happening here that I shouldn't know about?" Bai Yiming replied without moving closer, maintaining a distance.
Sun Man's expression shifted repeatedly as he wrestled with his thoughts. He asked, "Lao Bai, do you want to tell me something? Or do you know something? If you have something to say, just say it."
Bai Yiming smiled and said, "What I have to say may not be what Master Sun wants to hear."
"As they say, harsh truths are often hard to swallow; the more unpleasant the words, the more worth listening to!" Sun Man glanced back at the few corpses not far behind him, his expression growing colder.
"Alright then, I'll speak." Bai Yiming suddenly declared. "Master Sun, with your intricate schemes using Blood Dragon Jade to lure Deng Gang first and then kill him to seize his assets. Then eliminating Li Changjiang to silence him and killing Zeng Liang and Wang Long who knew the truth—every detail is clear to me. Though I may be naturally dull-witted, I understand all of this perfectly."
"You... how could you know?" Sun Man's face changed drastically upon hearing Bai Yiming recount his entire plot verbatim.
Bai Yiming laughed heartily, the rain growing heavier, washing his laughter into a strange sound. "Master Sun, a person as cunning as you surely must notice that there are many doubts surrounding this entire affair, right?"
"Doubts? What doubts?" Sun Man pressed.
"For instance, although Deng Gang comes from a wealthy family, he has never shown an interest in jade. How did he suddenly change his mind and decide to rely on a fake jade to gain greater profits? How did Deng Gang and Li Changjiang come to know about the rumors and the shape of the Blood Dragon Ancient Jade? And where did the Millennium White Jade Blank in Deng Gang's possession come from?"
"Furthermore, why is it that no one in Mou Shui City knows about Li Changjiang selling his precious jade, yet you are the only one aware of it? Also, when Master Sun wanted to investigate the authenticity of the ancient jade, why did it happen so conveniently that you ran into your old acquaintance, the jade craftsman Lin Kong? Don't you find any of this strange, Master Sun?"
Bai Yiming rattled off these doubts in one breath, leaving Sun Man thoroughly confused.
Sun Man's gaze became obscure, as if he were seeing Bai Yiming for the first time. His tone turned cold as he asked, "Are you saying that everything was arranged by you?"
"Haha! Haha!" Bai Yiming laughed maniacally. "Master Sun, you've finally figured it out. Indeed, everything was orchestrated by me; you are merely a pawn in my game!"
Bai Yiming's tone shifted to a chilling one as he continued, "Deng Gang's knowledge of jade and his desire for it, as well as obtaining white jade, were all part of my plan. He is extremely greedy; doing all this is not difficult for him. As for Lin Kong..."
At this point, Bai Yiming suddenly called out, "Why don't you come out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure leaped out from the shadows beside Sun Man. With agility like that of a monkey, the person quickly landed next to Bai Yiming and stood there with a smile. "Master Sun, I hope you are well."
With an odd appearance—small eyes and a large nose—it was none other than Lin Kong.
