Solving Middle Age Crisis by Intelligence System Chapter 604 - 402: New Purple Intelligence (Double-Length) (

De Gaulle turned his head to look at the other party, his tone unhurried: "Yes, although I don’t want to believe this outco either, the fact is just that."

"I’ve had religious experts analyze the video we brought back carefully, and they’ve proven that the city at the bottom of the lake is indeed Jialoba City of the Shambala Kingdom."

A person beside him spoke up: "So, what we’ve been searching for over hundreds of years, immortality, doesn’t exist at all?"

De Gaulle nodded: "You could say that."

"Although Shambala is depicted in Buddhist legends as the Pure Land, the Land of Eternal Life, it’s just myth and a spiritual symbol; it can’t truly grant immortality."

"This can’t be!" An elder suddenly stood up, propping his hands on the table, his eyes filled with unwillingness, "Our family spent hundreds of years and countless resources just to receive such a result?"

"I hope it’s not true myself." De Gaulle ignored the other’s attitude and continued explaining kindly, "But the expert analysis reports are there, and the Jialoba City at the bottom of the lake is the best proof."

"What we’ve always pursued, immortality, might really just be an elusive legend."

Alfred was silent for a while, then slowly said: "Even if immortality doesn’t exist, there must be other unknown secrets hidden in Jialoba City of the Shambala Kingdom."

"We can’t give up here; perhaps we can find sothing else beneficial to the family from there."

Upon hearing this, many nodded in agreent.

De Gaulle pursed his lips, saying nothing.

...

At Golden Collar Villa, Qi Yun returned ho, showered, and was about to engage in deep conversation with Zhao Qing when he unexpectedly received a phone call.

He glanced at the mobile phone screen on the bedside table, then apologized and pushed the beauty in his arms away, getting up to take the phone to his study.

"Harris, at this hour, shouldn’t you be at the pool party? Why did you think of calling ?"

"Qi Yun, I was just attacked by a group of people! Three bodyguards are dead!" Harris’s voice carried anger.

Qi Yun’s expression froze, and his originally relaxed tone instantly beca serious: "Are you alright? Who were they?"

"I’m fine."

"The opposing party was very professional, leaving no clues at the scene, not even corpses."

Not even corpses were left...

This doesn’t seem like a common vendetta; it clearly was a carefully planned professional operation.

Qi Yun almost imdiately connected it to that Eight-footed Jade Hook.

The last intelligence reported that the Japanese Imperial Family discovered the Eight-footed Jade Hook was stolen and directly engaged the FBI to investigate, capturing Ichiro Kojima in a very short ti.

And after Qi Yun inford Harris of this, the latter also imdiately left the United States to hide in Africa.

"Could the buyer have leaked your identity?"

"Probably not, that person has considerable power in the United States; even the authorities can’t force him."

Harris paused, continued pondering, "But I haven’t provoked any enemies recently, especially those daring enough to attack in South Africa... so you better be careful too."

Qi Yun furrowed his brows. If it’s not related to that matter being leaked, then this is hard to explain...

The Harris brothers are influential figures in Africa, having interactions with the H Gang and even high-level officials in the nation; not anyone would dare attack him without considerable audacity.

"Alright, I’ll be careful."

"Yep, I’ll inform you imdiately if I find any leads in the subsequent investigation."

The two exchanged a few brief words before ending the call.

Qi Yun put down the phone and lit a cigarette.

After pondering for a while, still drawing no conclusions, he chose to put it aside.

At least dostically, his security is assured. Whether the opponent cos openly or covertly, he has the confidence to handle it.

"Whew, let’s check today’s intelligence."

[Current Intelligence Points: 24]

[Today’s Intelligence 1 (Green): Hong Kong Island is about to issue 3 new VASP licenses, the competition among various financial groups is intense, and Liu Xiaotao’s father plans to buy a license to enter the market for five billion, but struggles with not having connections]

VASP license, a Virtual Asset Service Provider license. With this license, you can legally conduct virtual currency exchange, custody, and related businesses.

In recent years, the developnt montum of virtual currency has been swift; as global regulation of virtual assets becos stricter, the license issued by Hong Kong Island has beco a coveted prize sought after by all kinds of capital.

Two months ago, a company just obtained this license, and its stock price directly rose by 200% within a short ti!

This shows the value of this license.

Under normal circumstances, the fee to apply for a VASP license might be around fifty million Hong Kong dollars, but that’s the public price; no one knows how much it would cost privately.

So, for Liu the Rich to be willing to spend five billion to enter the ga, it doesn’t surprise him too much.

"Perhaps I could ask Brother Hui about the situation tomorrow and see if there’s a chance to act as a middleman?"

Brother Hui has been mixing around Hong Kong Island for so long and has so connections.

[Today’s Intelligence 2 (Blue): The rchant Hussein from Peshawar, Pakistan, arrived at Bird City yesterday; his purpose this trip is to acquire a batch of second-hand lathe equipnt, contact phone: 180****]

Peshawar, lathe, connect these terms together, and even using your feet to think, you know what they’re producing...

Qi Yun thought for a mont and recalled that near-defunct automobile parts factory. With the sales channels previously connected to Boss Jia’s goose business, the factory not only reversed its decline but also expanded its scale.

Such factory owners often have dealings with each other, and with so many factories closing, the other party might have a way to get second-hand lathe equipnt.

Lathes don’t differentiate between high and low quality; they can shape screws as well as gun barrels.

[Today’s Intelligence 3 (Purple 1/2): You have already found Can Cong’s eyeball; gather the other missing eyeball to unlock the treasure information buried by Can Cong]

Can... Can Cong?

Ancient Shu King Can Cong?

Treasure information?

Qi Yun’s mouth dropped open, stunned by this new purple intelligence; he even forgot to stub out his cigarette.

The na Can Cong, it’s familiar yet distant.

The first ti I saw this na was in Li Bai’s poem "Can Cong and Yu Fu, how vague it was to establish the kingdom."

Ancient Shu King Can Cong, the first ruler to claim kingship in the Ancient Shu Kingdom, legend has it his eyes protruded forward like a crab’s, and he had a vertical eye, aning a third eye on his brow, similar to the mythical Erlang God.

However, with the discovery of the bronze mask at Sanxingdui, many experts disputed the idea of three eyes, believing the mask to be the true image of Can Cong, and that the so-called vertical eye was simply protruding eyeballs.

Putting aside the vertical eye for now, the intelligence states that I have already found Can Cong’s eyeball.

But where is the eyeball?

The next second, Qi Yun’s pupils shrank drastically.

"Could it be...."

The stone Brother Quan brought up from the lake?

That stone, about the size of a ping-pong ball, indeed seems to match the bronze mask...

However, it seems too incredible.

Can Cong’s eyeball, how could it appear in Jialoba City of the Shambala Kingdom?

The burnt sll of the cigarette brought Qi Yun back from his shock, and he stubbed out the cigarette, picked up his phone, and started browsing related material online.

According to the archaeological dating of the Sanxingdui Ruins, its burial ti is roughly at the end of the Shang Dynasty, beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, around 1000 BC.

However, the "Huayang Guo Zhi" records Can Cong claiming kingship during the "loss of the Zhou’s order," period, in the first year of King Xiang of Eastern Zhou, about 650 BC.

Regardless of which conclusion, both precede the ti when the Shambala Kingdom could have existed.

Because although the ti of the Shambala Kingdom is impossible to prove, it’s certain it existed after Shakyamuni’s birth.

And Shakyamuni’s birth, was approximately in 560 BC.

So, from a purely chronological perspective, it could indeed be possible...

Moreover, Ignacio also ntioned that the stone could very likely be for sacrificial use...
