Xu Shi'an's strength had long met the requirements for Group B, but Old Master Xu had never agreed.
Ye Cangtian knew that Old Master Xu was worried about his only grandson encountering any accidents. He guessed that Xu Weiwei's parents were members of Group B and had sacrificed during a mission.
However, it was a surprise to Ye Cangtian that the old man had suddenly agreed to let Xu Shi'an join Group B this time.
But this was just a private matter for their family and had nothing to do with him!
Ye Cangtian said no more and continued to ask, "What else did Old Master Xu say?"
Xu Shi'an thought for a moment, and just as he was about to shake his head, he remembered something and mumbled, "As I was leaving, Grandpa asked me to tell you that the Saudi royal Prince Arno is quite influential. You could try to 'endure hardship and cultivate strength' if you have the chance!"
"I know what 'endure hardship and cultivate strength' means, but what's this Prince Arno of the Saudi royal family? The old man speaks in riddles. Brother-in-law, what does he mean?"
Xu Shi'an was quite confused. He had always been too lazy to decipher such cryptic remarks and had no idea what it meant.
Ye Cangtian, however, was speechless after hearing this.
It seemed Old Master Xu already knew about the recent events in the Saudi royal family and that he had been conferred the title of Prince Noah.
"Endure hardship and cultivate strength"?
This old rascal was really cunning, trying to make me stay in the Saudi royal family?
As long as he remained in Saudi Arabia and officially became the Prince Noah, second only to the king, he would have a say in the royal family. The benefits to China at that time would be unimaginable!
After all, Saudi Arabia was a major oil-producing country, and even the amount of oil China imported annually was an astronomical figure.
Ye Cangtian would never agree to that!
...
The two chatted on the rooftop for a while. When they came down, they saw that the shaman guy hadn't left yet.
Ye Cangtian admired the guy's persistence and had to walk up to him, frowning, "Shaman, we've only met twice, and we're hardly friends. There's no need to pester me like this, right?"
"Or, what is your purpose in following me?"
"Big brother, I really have no purpose. I just think you're very capable. I'm unfamiliar with China and don't even have a friend..." Shaman explained sheepishly.
Ye Cangtian understood!
Although this guy was a bit of a chatterbox, he wasn't brainless. It was normal for him to be deceived and taken advantage of after just arriving in China and not understanding anything.
Shaman hesitated and then said, "Moreover, my wallet is gone. I think it was stolen near the train station yesterday!"
"..."
Ye Cangtian was speechless. He glanced at the guy and said, "So you mean you want me to take care of you? Don't even think about it. I don't have money, and I don't have a place to stay!"
"I know. I won't trouble you for money. I'll figure it out myself! Big brother, is there a pawn shop nearby? I plan to sell my watch. It should last me a while!"
Shaman took off the watch on his wrist. Ye Cangtian glanced at it; the watch indeed looked very valuable, and selling it for tens of thousands of yuan should be no problem.
Xu Shi'an, who had been listening for a while, couldn't help but smile and say, "I know a pawn shop nearby. It's not far from here, just a few hundred meters!"
"Alright, leave it to you. Take him to the pawn shop!" Ye Cangtian was happy to have someone offer, waved his hand, and turned to walk into the security room.
Xu Shi'an was stunned and rolled his eyes. He looked at Shaman and said somewhat displeased, "Fine, I'll take you. But do you only have this one watch? Humph, how much is this watch even worth?"
The two soon headed towards a nearby pawn shop.
...
About an hour later.
Ye Cangtian saw Xu Shi'an and Shaman returning together.
"You sold the watch so quickly?"
"Sold... sold it!"
Xu Shi'an's lips moved, his eyes looking at Shaman with a strange expression. He lowered his voice and said, "Brother-in-law, where did this guy come from?"
Ye Cangtian was surprised. "What's wrong?"
Xu Shi'an took a deep breath, furrowed his brow, and gritted his teeth, "A watch sold for eighteen million. I've never seen such an expensive watch in my life!"
Eighteen million?
Ye Cangtian couldn't help but gasp and look at Shaman with shock.
Shaman overheard their conversation and asked curiously, "Eighteen million Chinese yuan is a lot? This watch I'm wearing is one of only six limited editions worldwide. I spent three million US dollars on it."
The key point is its global limited edition status. He dared to guarantee that if he was willing to sell it, it would fetch at least double the price at an auction in Europe!
"It's just that the pawn shop here didn't recognize its value, but it doesn't matter. Although this watch is my favorite, I have plenty of watches at home..."
"..."
Xu Shi'an looked at Ye Cangtian, and Ye Cangtian fell silent.
Where did this guy come from? A rich second-generation from Oman? Don't be silly, even a prince of Oman couldn't be this wealthy!
"Hmm?" Ye Cangtian suddenly thought of something. This guy is called Shaman, could he be from the Saudi royal family?
The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
After all, how could an ordinary rich second-generation afford a watch worth tens of millions, and then sell it at a loss of half without batting an eye!
Seeing the guy chattering away with Xu Shi'an, Ye Cangtian stood up and walked away, taking out his phone to make a call.
A moment later, Xu Weiwei's voice came from the phone, "Is something wrong?"
"Just asking, was the foreigner caught last night named Shaman?"
"No!"
Xu Weiwei directly denied it and continued, "His passport name is Abdul Sakhi!"
"I understand!" Ye Cangtian hung up directly.
Abdul Sakhi, he seemed to have heard this name somewhere before!
Abdul is a surname, and many people in the Saudi royal family use the surname Abdul, like Hibya, whose full name is 'Abdul Hibya'.
Suddenly, his eyes widened. He remembered that the missing prince of the Saudi royal family was named Prince Sakhi!
This guy is actually a Saudi prince!
Ye Cangtian gasped. This guy was Hibya's younger brother, and the former king's only son, the heir to the throne!
Before he left the Saudi royal family, he had heard that the royal family was actively searching for the missing prince, and the entire royal family was quite anxious, especially Hibya.
He never expected that Prince Sakhi was not in Saudi Arabia at all but had traveled all the way to China!
"This guy is really bold!" Ye Cangtian sighed.
He looked into the distance and saw Shaman seemingly arguing with Xu Shi'an, their faces red with anger.
When he walked over, he heard Xu Shi'an's voice, "Are you great just because you have money? Boy, let me tell you, I despise rich second-generations like you the most. Also, if you don't shut up, I'll slap your mouth until it swells!"
