"It’s hard to find, but we must try. I believe that in terms of searching for things, Zeng Lao is probably more skilled than I am," Jiang Chen said with a smile.
After all, Zeng Xianyi was an official, and he had access to a vast array of resources. Therefore, Jiang Chen had great confidence in Zeng Xianyi.
"Mr. Jiang is too kind. I will do my best, but it will take some time, and I can't guarantee that we will find it one hundred percent," Zeng Xianyi replied.
"Just do your best," Jiang Chen nodded.
"By the way, Mr. Jiang, there’s something else I would like to ask for your assistance with," Zeng Xianyi's expression suddenly became serious.
"What is it?"
"About a week ago, a group of international oceanographers discovered an underwater ruin in the East China Sea, deep in a region adjacent to international waters. According to the underwater robot's scans, this site once nurtured a brilliant civilization. From the remnants of walls and structures, it is evident that people once lived there. The robot searched the seabed for a day and inadvertently found an underwater entrance. Inside was a space constructed from massive stones, filled with a large quantity of ancient gold artifacts, estimated to be worth hundreds of billions. This discovery immediately attracted the attention of multiple countries; everyone coveted this deep-sea treasure," Zeng Xianyi explained.
"The East China Sea is our Huaxia territory; naturally, the treasure discovered there belongs to us as well. Are you suggesting that I help you salvage it?" Jiang Chen chuckled.
"That’s true, but at the time, the group of oceanographers included not only our Huaxia people but also Islanders, Americans, and British nationals. They reported this matter to their respective countries. Originally, since the treasure lies on our seabed in the East China Sea, they had no right to interfere. However, because part of this underwater site is in international waters, they used this as leverage and sent salvage teams along with warships."
"We had no choice; indeed, part of the site is in international waters. It’s impossible to reason with them, so we can only race against time to hope we can retrieve the treasure first. However, during the salvage operation, we found that the difficulty was immense. The record for human descent is just over a hundred meters, but the treasure lies over five hundred meters deep. We could use submarines to descend, but once down there, we couldn’t access the entrance; its diameter is only one meter."
"So we had to consider using robots for salvage. However, their speed was too slow. Later on, the Islanders sent a Martial Arts Divine Realm expert who could temporarily withstand deep-sea pressure. Strangely enough, this expert from Island Nation vanished into thin air after entering the treasure cave."
At that moment, a martial arts expert from the United States mocked the Island Nation's Divine Realm expert for being reckless; however, he too lost contact after diving into the depths.
The disappearance of two individuals weighed heavily on both the Islanders and Americans; our feelings were similar. Yet everyone thought little of it and attributed it to those two lacking strength—after all, being hundreds of meters deep underwater is perilous even for martial arts masters.
The Islanders and Americans initially planned to send more martial arts experts down; however, having witnessed what happened previously made them hesitant. Meanwhile, on our Huaxia side, Ye Jian Sheng decided to investigate further but ended up missing as well."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen's expression grew slightly solemn.
