144: Section 144

Qin Feng did not answer him, only staring at Wang Junhui.

Looking into Qin Feng's eyes, Wang Junhui felt an inexplicable chill in his heart. He quickly changed his tune and said to Qin Feng, "Alright! Since Brother Qin wants to see him, I'll take you to find him!"

Wang Junhui led Qin Feng out of the tea room and arrived outside an office, knocking on the door.

"Come in!" A loud and slightly deep voice came from inside the room.

Wang Junhui led Qin Feng into the room, where they saw two figures standing there; one of them was Li Haitao.

Wang Junhui introduced him, saying, "Boss, this is Brother Qin Feng." Then he pointed to the other young man and said to Qin Feng, "And this is Li Haitao!"

The two of them nodded to Qin Feng simultaneously as a greeting.

Then Li Haitao said to Wang Junhui, "Xiao Hui, if there's nothing else, you may leave! I'm going to play a game of chess with the guest!"

Wang Junhui bowed respectfully to Li Haitao and said, "Yes, Boss." He then closed the door and left.

As soon as Wang Junhui closed the door, Li Haitao immediately said to Qin Feng, "So Mr. Qin is the legendary 'War Wolf'! Forgive my lack of manners!"

"Mr. Li overpraises me!" Qin Feng replied modestly.

"Hahaha~ Mr. Qin is truly a man of character! I like that!"

After a few words of small talk, Li Haitao asked Qin Feng, "I wonder what business brings Mr. Qin here so suddenly?"

Chapter 106: To Tell You the Truth [Begging for Subscriptions]

Qin Feng said with a smile, "To tell you the truth, I've come for a private matter." Qin Feng then briefly explained his desire to buy a mine.

"Oh, let me consider this matter before making a decision. After all, I don't dare to make a decision on my own authority," Li Haitao said, frowning in thought.

"Good, I'll wait for Mr. Li's good news!" Qin Feng said. Having spoken, Qin Feng took out a check and handed it to Li Haitao, then continued, "Mr. Li, this is a deposit. If you are willing to sell me this batch of jadeite, the price will definitely satisfy your wishes! I hope you can consider it carefully."

"Thank you, Mr. Qin, I will contact you as soon as possible," Li Haitao said, taking the check from Qin Feng's hand.

"Then since you're busy, Mr. Li, I won't disturb you any further." Qin Feng stood up, preparing to take his leave.

"Alright, take care!" Li Haitao said politely to Qin Feng.

After walking out of Tianxiang Pavilion, Qin Feng headed straight for the Stone Gambling Exchange in the city center.

The Stone Gambling Exchange was the only jewelry store in Tianxiang Town, with a daily turnover reaching several million or even over ten million yuan.

Arriving at the entrance of the Stone Gambling Exchange and looking at the various raw stones displayed there, Qin Feng's heart rate instantly accelerated. These were all top-quality stones worth hundreds of millions or even billions of yuan; by just picking one at random, Qin Feng could possess assets worth billions!

Suppressing his excitement, Qin Feng stepped through the doors of the Stone Gambling Exchange.

As soon as he entered, the first thing that met Qin Feng's eyes was a massive plaza, surrounded by many large glass counters displaying all sorts of raw materials, with many stall owners inside selecting their goods.

Looking around, Qin Feng actually discovered quite a few jadeite raw materials, and the quality was very good.

Thus, Qin Feng did not hesitate to wander around inside, searching for jadeite raw materials that suited him.

"Eh? Why is this stone so small?" Qin Feng saw a fist-sized, uniquely shaped oval stone. The stone was grayish-brown throughout, its surface pitted and uneven, looking like the result of being hit by a meteorite.

This stone seemed to have no value at all, but when Qin Feng scanned its surface with his X-ray vision, he discovered that there was actually green jadeite hidden inside.

There was indeed jadeite inside this stone, and the grade was not low, but because the stone had been hit by a meteorite, the jadeite had cracked.

Qin Feng shook his head and sighed. What a pity! Such a good piece of jadeite, ruined just like that.

Qin Feng looked around elsewhere, but besides that piece of jadeite, the rest were all waste material.

"Forget it, better not push my luck. I need to hurry and gamble on stones," Qin Feng thought to himself, turning to walk out of the Stone Gambling Exchange.

After leaving the Stone Gambling Exchange, Qin Feng hailed a taxi to go to a nearby stone gambling public auction.

A stone gambling public auction, as the name suggests, is a place specifically for holding stone gambling auctions, provided by a jewelry store named 'Longhua Pavilion'. It was said that this jewelry store had a deep background and immense power, so no one in Tianxiang Town dared to provoke them; even the police chief would treat them with courtesy upon meeting.

Half an hour later, the taxi slowly drove into the South District of Tianxiang Town; it was already not far from the stone gambling public auction.

"Driver, please pull over."

Hearing this, the driver pulled the car over to the side of the road. Qin Feng paid and got out.

Chapter 107: Bustling Crowds [Begging for Subscriptions]

He walked to the hotel entrance to go in for a meal, and while he was at it, he would stroll through the streets to familiarize himself with Tianxiang Town.

Tianxiang Town at night was much livelier than during the day, with bright lights and bustling crowds. The trees lining the streets were tall and varied, and the flowers and plants were lush, presenting a scene of prosperity.

As Qin Feng wandered aimlessly, he kept an eye on his surroundings. Suddenly, he saw several men in black wearing sunglasses acting suspiciously at a street corner, observing the area. He felt something was strange.

Who are these people? Are they coming for me?

This thought flashed through Qin Feng's mind. He then focused his attention on these few people, observing them closely in hopes of finding a clue.

Suddenly, Qin Feng saw several figures appear in the alley to the right, walking toward his direction.

"They must have followed me here! Regardless of whether they followed me or not, they definitely have some conspiracy tonight; I must stop them," Qin Feng thought. He then pretended to walk toward the hotel as if nothing were wrong.

"Hey! Buddy, do me a favor." Under the surprised gaze of the hotel waiter, Qin Feng pulled aside a young man sitting on a chair drinking coffee and said to him mysteriously, "I want to borrow your phone for a moment. I'll return it immediately. Just consider it a favor."

"Alright." Looking at the handsome stranger before him, the young man hesitated for a moment but still lent his phone to Qin Feng, reminding him, "Hey buddy, my number is 138****..."

"Got it, I've remembered it." Qin Feng took the phone from the young man and gave him a slight nod.

Watching Qin Feng's departing back, the young man muttered, "How strange. Isn't this guy here for tourism? Why did he come here? Doesn't he know this is Tianxiang Town, the most chaotic place?"

Qin Feng took the phone and dialed a number.

Ring... ring... ring... "Hello? Who is this?" A pleasant female voice came from the phone.

"It's me, Qin Feng. I want you to check for me who in Tianxiang Town wants to deal with me!" Qin Feng said straightforwardly.

"Hmm? How would you know?" The woman on the other end seemed taken aback for a moment.

"Never mind how I know. Hurry up and check, I need it urgently," Qin Feng urged.

"Alright, wait a moment."

Qin Feng hung up the phone and stood in place, waiting patiently.

Fifteen minutes later, the phone rang. Qin Feng quickly picked up the phone and answered it.

"Mr. Qin Feng, I've sent the information to your email. You can see it by opening the webpage; the password is your birthday. I also suggest you type 'Qin Family' into the search bar!" the woman on the other end said... Hearing this, Qin Feng quickly opened the phone's web browser and entered the search engine, where a search box indeed popped up.

Qin Feng typed in the words "Qin Family," and a row of search results immediately popped up.

First was the private number of the Qin Group's president, as well as the Qin family tree and other information; following that was a distribution map of the Qin family's assets. Finally, there were detailed profiles and photos of the members of the Qin Group's board of directors.

After reading this information, Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the information on the Qin family assets and family tree was very complete.

"Thanks," Qin Feng replied with a smile.

"You're welcome, it's just what I should do," the woman said gently.

Chapter 108: Turning Off the Power [Begging for Subscriptions]

"What's your name? Let's stay in touch in the future," Qin Feng asked.

"Oh, my name is Zhang Menghan. It's a pleasure to meet you," the woman's sweet voice came through the phone. "I have some things to do, so I'll hang up now. Bye~"

"Bye~"

Qin Feng hung up the phone, turned off the power, put the phone away, and walked to a sofa in the hotel lobby to sit down.

"Sir, your meal."

"Thank you for your trouble," Qin Feng said with a smile.

Qin Feng looked at the food on the table. Although it wasn't a top-tier Western breakfast, it was quite rich, with three steaks, a cup of coffee, and two fruit platters.

"I like sweets. Please prepare a dessert for me," Qin Feng said calmly.

"Certainly, sir. Your dessert will be served in a moment," the waiter smiled.

Soon, the waiter pushed an exquisite plate in front of Qin Feng.

Qin Feng reached out to unveil the red silk covering the plate, then gently lifted the lid. Inside was something shaped like chocolate, emitting an enticing sweet aroma.

Qin Feng picked up a spoon, scooped a bit, and put it in his mouth to chew. The sweetness was just right and very delicious.

"So delicious!" Qin Feng murmured to himself in satisfaction.

He looked up and asked the waiter, "Where is the pastry chef here? Is he free? I'd like to ask him to make some desserts for me."

"I'm sorry, sir. Since you are a foreigner, we cannot provide special services for you. If you need anything, you can tell us, and we will do our best to arrange it for you!" the waiter explained with a smile.

"So that's how it is. Never mind then." Qin Feng shook his head helplessly and continued to lower his head to eat the dessert.

At that moment, Qin Feng saw a counter next to the service desk, and there was a male waiter there organizing some things. Moreover, that male waiter was Chinese, and there were some scars on his face. Qin Feng frowned; he felt the man looked somewhat familiar but wasn't sure who he was. He just vaguely felt he had seen this person before, but he couldn't remember exactly who it was.

Qin Feng thought about it and decided to go up and ask. He stepped up to the counter and said to the male waiter, "Hello, excuse me, do you know Li Hao?"

As Qin Feng finished speaking, his eyes were fixed on the male waiter. Li Hao? The waiter was clearly taken aback by Qin Feng's words. He looked up and carefully examined Qin Feng's appearance, then revealed a bright smile and said respectfully, "Hello, Boss. My name is Li Hao, I'm a staff member under you. Boss, do you have any instructions for me?"

"Haha, I guessed it was you. Li Hao, let me ask you, who was blocking me at the entrance of the banquet hall tonight?" Qin Feng asked with a smile.
