"What? One piece is missing?"

Lin Jie was shocked when she heard this.

"Chen Xiao, should I call the security guards again to help us dig around in the ground?"

Chen Xiao shook his head, "No need. They won't be able to find it even if they dig again, because that piece of bone was obviously deliberately removed, so it won't be buried with the other bones."

"Then what do we do? Isn't that Infant Ghoul going to become a Flying Ghoul?"

Lin Jie said worriedly.

Chen Xiao shook his head again, "No, because I've already found that piece of bone."

Hearing Chen Xiao say this, Lin Jie rolled her eyes. "I said, Chen Xiao, can you stop scaring me all the time? Where's the bone?"

Before she finished speaking, Chen Xiao said something that frightened her even more.

"That piece of bone is on you!"

Lin Jie screamed and started jumping around.

"Where is it? Where is it?"

She thought that the bone had accidentally caught on her clothes and that she could shake it off by jumping around a few times!

Chen Xiao said helplessly, "Lin Jie, calm down. That piece of bone is here..."

As he spoke, Chen Xiao pointed to Lin Jie's chest.

Lin Jie was slightly stunned, and then, following Chen Xiao's gaze, she reached out and felt inside.

This was Chen Xiao; if it had been someone else, Lin Jie would have taken him for a pervert.

And after feeling around, Lin Jie's face suddenly changed drastically.

"You're not talking about this, are you?"

Lin Jie groped around and took out a white Buddha amulet from her chest.

Chen Xiao nodded, "That's right, that's the one."

Lin Jie immediately retorted, "No, Chen Xiao, you must be mistaken this time. This Buddha amulet is made of ivory, not human bone..."

Although she said so, Lin Jie felt that her words were inexplicably lacking in confidence.

Chen Xiao sneered and asked, "Did you personally ask for this Buddha amulet? Even if you did, can you be sure that it's definitely made of ivory?"

Lin Jie stammered, "I didn't go myself, but my assistant personally went to Southeast Asia to get it for me. She wouldn't lie to me!"

Chen Xiao pressed on, "And how can you be sure that your assistant wouldn't lie to you?"

Lin Jie explained, "She's a girl I brought up from scratch. She's very smart, very motivated, and I trust her very much..."

Chen Xiao directly interrupted her, "None of what you said can prove that she won't betray you."

In an instant, Lin Jie felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

But she was still unwilling to accept it, "But, but..."

Finally, she managed to find an excuse, "Maybe she doesn't know either? Maybe she's also being used by someone?"

Chen Xiao shrugged, "Maybe... but the best way to know the answer is to bring her over and confront her face to face, don't you think?"

Lin Jie pursed her lips, and finally, as if making up her mind, she said, "Okay, I'll call her over right away!"

The phone connected, and Lin Jie spoke first.

"Xiao Ru, where are you?"

"President Lin, I'm working overtime."

"I'm at Tianhai Yi Pin. I have something to ask you. Come over here."

"..."

Xiao Ru didn't say anything for a long time.

Lin Jie raised her voice and asked again, "Xiao Ru, what's wrong? I have something important to ask you. Come over here right now!"

Xiao Ru stammered, "That, President Lin... I, I'm not feeling well. Can we talk about it tomorrow?"

Lin Jie sighed and bluffed, "Forget it, Xiao Ru, don't lie to me. I know everything."

What came from the other end was a long silence and heavy breathing.

At this moment, Lin Jie felt as if her heart had been clenched into a ball.

Finally, Xiao Ru spoke.

And her tone had changed from cautious to arrogant and indifferent.

"Oh, so you know. So what if you know?"

"Lin Jie, that's right, I did it. I did it all! The things inside Tianhai Yi Pin were buried by my people, but that's what you deserve!"

Hearing these words, Lin Jie almost couldn't stand, "Why did you do this?"

Xiao Ru said coldly, "Why? How dare you ask me why? I still want to ask you why?"

"Why did Richard go into the mountains with you, and I can't contact him anymore? What did you do to him?"

Lin Jie felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, "What's your relationship with Richard?"

Xiao Ru sneered, "Oh, you don't know my relationship with Richard? Didn't you know everything?"

"Let me tell you, we were together before you even met him!"

"You're so shameless. You're already old, but you're still thinking about young men every day. Don't you look at yourself and see if you're worthy of him?"

Lin Jie's face turned green, and she shouted, "Enough, don't say anymore!"

"No, I insist on saying it!"

Xiao Ru said rebelliously,

"I'll tell you everything today. Richard asked me to give you the human bone Buddha amulet, and he also asked me to bury the things inside Tianhai Yi Pin!"

"Now that things have come to this, I'm not afraid to tell you that originally, we only needed to drag it out for another half a month, and he could have killed you. By then, all your property would have been ours... It's a pity that we fell short!"

Lin Jie didn't want to listen anymore. She had always treated Xiao Ru as a daughter.

To be honest, Xiao Ru's betrayal hurt her more than Richard's betrayal.

She asked in confusion, "Why did you do this? Xiao Ru, before I brought you out, you couldn't even afford to eat!"

Xiao Ru snorted coldly, "Blame yourself. You let me see a world that I shouldn't have seen, and I'm no longer willing to be mediocre. Why can you get the things I can't?"

A person's greed is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant.

This sentence is the most accurate portrayal of Xiao Ru.

Lin Jie silently hung up the phone and sat down on the sofa in despair.

Li Ziqing heard everything that was said on the phone.

She walked over and silently hugged Lin Jie.

Lin Jie had experienced too much in the past two days.

Even if she had nerves of steel, she probably wouldn't be able to accept this series of blows.

Chen Xiao also looked helpless.

But this was probably karma.

Shi Ling gave Lin Jie too much, but Lin Jie wasn't worthy of it, so it was reasonable for her to be coveted and envied by the people around her.

This tribulation was destined for her, and she couldn't avoid it.

"Lin Jie, give me the last piece of bone, to avoid any unexpected problems."

Chen Xiao also sympathized with Lin Jie, but the business at hand still had to be done.

Lin Jie tore off the bone hanging around her neck and handed it to Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao had just taken the bone and hadn't even had time to place it on the corpse.

But at this moment, another change occurred.

The dark Infant Ghoul suddenly moved...
