"This matter is quite coincidental, Mr. Jiang. Last time you mentioned the Seven Divine Artifacts, you had already found five, leaving only the Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings and the Devouring Heaven Bottle. So, our Shi family has been fully focused on searching for these two artifacts. About three months ago, we happened to see a photo on the wall of a household in the northwest. In that photo, a woman was wearing a peculiar double ring. After I saw the photo, I confirmed it was indeed the Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings. However, the photo was taken sixty years ago. The family said that the woman in the picture was their great-grandmother, who had passed away many years ago. As for the Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings she wore, they had been sold years ago to a man from the north. They were not clear about the specifics, but later, we used extensive connections and resources to investigate further. We finally found some leads: the person who bought the Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings didn't know it was an artifact; he just treated it as an antique and later sold it at Panjiayuan in the capital as an antique."
At this point, Shi Gaofeng took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and continued, "There are people from all walks of life who go treasure hunting at Panjiayuan. If the Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings had been bought by an ordinary person, it would have been difficult to trace. Fortunately, the person who sold the Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings at Panjiayuan still remembered some details after all these years because he casually quoted a price of ten thousand yuan back then and was surprised when the buyer didn't haggle and bought it directly."
Ten thousand yuan back in those days was a significant sum; after all, having ten thousand yuan made one quite notable.
"It seems that buyer really knew their stuff," Jiang Chen remarked upon hearing this.
"Indeed, anyone who could casually take out ten thousand yuan in the eighties must have been someone of stature in Beijing. I am currently investigating each possibility. Unfortunately, while he remembers the circumstances of that day, he no longer recalls what the buyer looked like or their name. However, we can narrow it down; it's highly likely that the Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings are within some prominent family in Beijing."
"Mr. Jiang, I am systematically checking each lead and believe we will have results soon. If after this first round of elimination there are no leads, it may be that the buyer knows about the origins of the Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings and is deliberately keeping it under wraps. If that's the case, things could get tricky," Shi Gaofeng said.
"Even if we narrow it down to Beijing with only a fifty percent chance of finding them, that's still progress. If we don't have results before Lantern Festival, I will personally go to Beijing. Please send me a photo of the Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings," Jiang Chen replied.
The Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings are only recorded in ancient texts; however, combining what our Shi family saw in that photo from the northwest, we commissioned someone to create a restoration image of the Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings. The restoration is estimated to be about ninety percent accurate, making it much easier to search with an image.
We have leads on the Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings, but there is still no news on the Devouring Heaven Bottle; even Jon Delson has not found any clues.
Sometimes luck is indeed needed.
After chatting with Shi Gaofeng for a while, it was already past ten o'clock at night.
Having understood everything, Jiang Chen took his leave.
Lin Bingbing was waiting at the entrance of the Shi family’s residence. Jiang Chen got into Lin Bingbing's car and they sped away.
The car drove along the coastal highway as Lin Bingbing intentionally slowed down. Soft music played inside the car; this intimate moment was something Lin Bingbing truly enjoyed.
