59: Chapter 59 Meteor

Su Wanyin failed to convince Zhou Yun to be cautious. Instead, she was persuaded by her Best friend. She decided to take out a loan of 200,000 for the investment.

This amount of money is very little in the investment field, but it is all she could borrow from the bank.

However, before transferring the money, Su Wanyin called Zhao Jian. No one answered.

She had previously asked Zhao Jian to make the decision, and not getting his reply made her feel uneasy. Moreover, it also seemed disrespectful.

Although Zhou Yun repeatedly urged her not to hesitate, as the financing amount for Jia Ren Animation increases, the equity she can get for the same amount of money decreases with each passing day. But she wouldn't listen to the advice.

Zhao Jian was busy at that time, so naturally, he had no mind to answer the phone. When he woke up the next morning from Zhang Tao's bed and got dressed, he noticed a dozen missed calls on his phone. They were all from the same number. Su Wanyin!

This made him suspect even more that this woman had installed surveillance on his phone. How come every time he wanted to do something secretive recently, he would receive her call?

Zhang Tao on the bed lazily wrapped the quilt around herself and coquettishly complained: "Stinky little brother, you knew that Sister's period hadn't finished yet, and you still messed with me."

Zhao Jian: Huh? "Wasn't it you who insisted last night?"

Did he remember wrong? Last night when he got up to leave, Good Older Sister held his hand and coquettishly said, "Baby, don't go, I want it." How could she turn around and deny it in the morning? Heh, women!

Thinking about last night's scene, Zhao Jian was about to blurt out the truth. Zhang Tao threw a pillow at him and said shyly and angrily: "You are not allowed to say it!"

Fine, he wouldn't say it. Looking at Good Older Sister who had buried her head in the quilt and refused to come out, Zhao Jian walked over and kissed her on the forehead. Then he got up and went out.

When going downstairs, a light screen suddenly appeared before his eyes. [Today's Intelligence (Red): There is a meteor shower passing by this morning. A small amount of scattered meteorites will land in Bafang Village. Among them, there is a common meteorite weighing 1.1 kg, falling at coordinate n1xx, worth about 400,000.]

Meteorites? This thing can also be sold for money!

While going downstairs, he called Su Wanyin.

"Why didn't you answer the phone last night?" Su Wanyin's tone carried a hint of resentment.

Zhao Jian didn't answer, but instead said solemnly: "I've checked that investment project you mentioned. You can invest with peace of mind; it will definitely lose money."

He didn't know if Su Wanyin had changed her temper. In case her rebellious streak was still that strong. If he said she couldn't invest, wouldn't that be harming her?

"It will lose money? But my Best friend said..." Before she finished speaking, Zhao Jian had already hung up the phone.

If she was going to listen to her Best friend, why ask him anyway?

Zhao Jian put away his phone and took a taxi to Bafang Village.

Bafang Village is southwest of Xiong City. It is not far from Wu Village and is also a village that has been almost completely emptied.

The only difference is that it is still far from White Lake, and resources are even more scarce.

Nowadays, I'm afraid there isn't even a wandering old person. If he went too late, he might have to spend the night in the desolate village.

Arrived at the destination. The situation was better than Zhao Jian had imagined.

Although there was no one in the village, there were relatively clean roads. It had to do with the terrain.

Wu Village is relatively low-lying, and occasionally large amounts of rainwater would gather and flow through the village into the lake. Obviously, Bafang Village didn't have this trouble.

Followed the road into the village. Found a two-story self-built house.

Intelligence said the meteor shower would pass by in the morning, and it wasn't even ten o'clock yet. The meteorite probably hadn't arrived yet. He needed to find a safe place to hide. So as not to be smashed to death here instead of picking up the meteorite.

While waiting quietly, Su Wanyin called him. He didn't answer. He was focused on waiting for the meteor to arrive.

The meteor was late, but instead, some uninvited guests arrived. They were three people riding motorcycles.

They all wore helmets, so he couldn't see their faces. He could only judge from their figures that there were two women and one man.

After they got off the motorcycles, they took out equipment that looked like metal detectors. Zhao Jian thought, "Oh no, I've run into competitors!"

Looking at their posture, they must also be here to find the meteorite. But the weather forecast didn't have a warning for this meteor shower.

Obviously, the main target of the fall was not Xiong City. Just a few scattered stones would fall here.

He could know in advance because of the intelligence system. What was the background of these three people?

Most of the nearby buildings were single-story houses. The two-story self-built house Zhao Jian chose was the most suitable place to hide.

The three latecomers walked in this direction simultaneously. When they got close, they stopped after discovering Zhao Jian.

"Uncle, we are here to wait for the meteor. Can we rest in your house for a while?" The female voice was quite pleasant, and she spoke quite politely.

But Zhao Jian was angry when he heard it. What kind of eyes did she have to call him Uncle!

"It's all the same. I just arrived too. Come in." Zhao Jian beckoned.

The three people looked at each other, then walked into the living room without a word.

Bafang Village had been vacant for about two years. When moving, the villagers took away most of the furniture. The rest had long been taken away by scavengers.

Occasionally a stool was left behind, but after two years of no use, it was dilapidated. No one dared to sit down.

Zhao Jian boredly scrolled through his phone. He didn't want to talk to his competitors, lest he hesitate when grabbing the treasure.

Hesitation meant that hundreds of thousands would be snatched by others!

"Uncle, you are so old and still out treasure hunting. Can you make money? Better to find a job." It was still the quite polite girl.

No, she was fake polite.

Zhao Jian opened the recording function on his phone. Then he said indifferently: "Auntie, you need to take medicine for presbyopia. If you drag it out, you will go blind."

The woman who had just been fake polite heard this and angrily took off her helmet, her face twisted with anger.

"Who are you calling Auntie? I'm only 24, and you call me Auntie?"

"I'm only 23, aren't you calling me Uncle?" Zhao Jian didn't like double-standard people.

Unless this person was speaking for him. Obviously, the woman opposite was not.

"You are 23? Heh, I think you are nearly 40. I really couldn't tell." After the woman finished speaking, she deliberately turned her head away. Pretending to be tsundere.

But she couldn't help but secretly look back and take a few more glances at Zhao Jian.

The reason she called him Uncle was that she wanted to use this unconventional way to get Zhao Jian's attention.

Unfortunately, Zhao Jian didn't buy it; he didn't have Stockholm syndrome.

"It's right that you couldn't tell; that's exactly what presbyopia is like. That's why I suggest you take medicine as soon as possible; don't be afraid of the doctor, Auntie."

"You!" The woman was about to be pissed off. Her companions quickly urged her that important matters came first.

Just as they were arguing, a bright light fell rapidly from the sky. And the light source was getting bigger and bigger.

The meteorite was here! However, the meteorite did not fall completely; it dispersed into seven pieces in the air.

It changed from the shape of a basketball into scattered stones of different sizes.

As the meteorite fell, the three competitors quickly rode their motorcycles away.

Before leaving, the arguing woman provocatively looked at Zhao Jian and said: "Uncle, we've got these seven pieces covered; you can just eat our dust at the back!"

Motorcycles were indeed faster than walking.

"Auntie, stop farting so much, pay attention to your manners in public!" Zhao Jian also prepared to set off.

Although motorcycles were indeed fast, arriving early was not as good as arriving at the right time.

Like this blind woman, she might not be able to see the meteorite.
