Chapter 3275 — The Great Shift of the Cosmos

Suddenly, two yellow folders appeared out of thin air within the jade pendant's space. The discovery both startled and delighted Wei Zhao: his hypothesis held true. Anything he could conceive of, so long as the jade pendant's space could contain it, could be placed inside—even through a solid layer of safe!
After all, Elder Jiao had once said that the jade pendant's space seemed to be some sort of fourth-dimensional spatial plane, unconstrained by the rules of the present three-dimensional space. The two operated under different laws, and so Wei Zhao had effortlessly accomplished the theft of the folders.
Of course, Brother Dafeng had said there was only one yellow folder, yet Wei Zhao had obtained two. One of them, he supposed, must contain something else entirely—not the address of the poison-refining base. No matter; he would take them back and look them over later. For now, Wei Zhao did not dare casually take them out to examine, seeing as Fanny was right there beside him.
That done, Wei Zhao quietly made his way to Fanny's side, and by then she had smoothly pulled out a small black case. Clearly, the drugs were inside.
"Here they are. So heavy—you carry it."
Fanny said this to Secretary Lu.
Wei Zhao nodded and readily took the case of drugs in hand, then left the office together with Fanny.
"Boss, the goods are here," Fanny said to the general manager, gesturing toward Wei Zhao.
As instructed, Wei Zhao set the drug case on the tea table, then opened it and displayed the contents to Chairman He.
"Chairman He, please inspect the goods!" The general manager nodded and said to Chairman He, "I trust you are a seasoned hand in this line of work, and that you did your homework on the purity of the drugs before coming. Everything I've prepared for you is the finest, highest-purity merchandise. After all, you and I are both heads of organizations with reputations to uphold—I could hardly cheat you over a single transaction."
He Dantou had indeed done considerable homework on drugs beforehand. He conducted a preliminary inspection of the drugs in Wei Zhao's case and found that, just as the general manager had said, the case contained goods of exceptionally high purity. Only then did he smile in satisfaction. "Chairman He, in that case, let us have cash on one hand and goods on the other!"
With that, He Dantou made to bring up the case of money from the floor and set it on the tea table for the general manager to see.
But that motion of He Dantou's stirred something in Wei Zhao's heart! That large case—it was all euros. Judging by its size, there had to be at least several hundred million euros in there. If he could get his hands on it, it would greatly alleviate the financial crisis at Yu Xiaoke's orphanage!
At that thought, Wei Zhao, betraying nothing in his expression, roused his mind and will, and transferred the euros inside the case into the jade pendant's space! Though the jade pendant's space was not large, it was more than ample for a single case of euros. In an instant, the case was emptied—every last euro had fled into Wei Zhao's jade pendant space.
It was at that very moment that He Dantou entered the code on the case. With a bang, he threw it open. But though the case was open, everyone present, save Wei Zhao, was stunned!
The case… was actually empty! The most astonished, naturally, was He Dantou himself. His expression instantly turned grim, his breathing grew rapid, and only after a long pause did he say in fury, "General Manager, what is the meaning of this?"
"Chairman He, I was about to ask you the same thing! You bring an empty case to a transaction and then ask me what I mean by it?" The general manager's expression darkened as well. The empty case made him wonder: was Chairman He trying to rob him outright?
