94: I went around and went back.
A moment later, the phone connected. Zhao Gang quickly picked it up and eagerly said, "Hello, Old Jin, I have a new batch of excellent goods here, all of them top-tier. Can you help me find a buyer? I plan to sell them all."
"Zhao Gang, I must say, you're a lucky guy! And you know what? Your call really came at the perfect time!"
A somewhat excited voice of a middle-aged man immediately rang out from the other end of the phone.
"What? You have new connections again?" Zhao Gang's eyes lit up at the news. He had always sold his good merchandise through Old Jin in the past.
Old Jin specialized in reselling antiques and cultural relics. He had quite a network in the City. Generally, wealthy locals looking for valuable collectibles would seek him out.
Old Jin on the other end of the phone chuckled and said, "Hehe, to be honest with you, a Young Master from Yanjing named Ye recently arrived in the City. The day before yesterday, his people contacted me, saying he wanted to acquire some good items from me.
And just like that, your call came in; what a coincidence! The Ye family is a super-family in China that keeps a low profile! But Zhao Gang, I'll be frank with you, Young Master Ye is very picky. He won't look twice at ordinary items. The more expensive, the better, and ideally, rare collectibles. Otherwise, he won't be interested."
"Don't worry, Old Jin, I've recently acquired a new batch of goods, all of them the best of the best! Exquisite craftsmanship, superb artistry, absolutely world-class! Especially one Swiss watch among them, it's a high-grade item that was discontinued in the 90s, a global limited edition! I guarantee the buyer won't be disappointed!" Zhao Gang patted his chest, speaking with full confidence.
Old Jin: "Hehe, that's good. In that case, let's set a time. Same old rules, I want a ten percent cut of the profit."
"Don't worry about that. As long as they can afford the price, we'll follow the rules," Zhao Gang readily agreed.
In the City, within a top-floor luxury apartment in the City center.
Ye Wuhuan was currently lying back on a soft leather sofa, a warm white towel draped over his forehead. His complexion was somewhat pale, and his lips were devoid of color, clearly indicating he wasn't feeling well and hadn't recovered from yesterday's events.
Behind him, a voluptuous and enchanting woman was using her soft, fair hands to massage his shoulders. Her touch was just right, and her technique was skilled, clearly indicating she did this often.
Ye Wuhuan was closing his eyes, enjoying the woman's massage with a relaxed expression. Just then, a woman with a fiery figure slowly walked over; it was Gu Ling. Gu Ling's complexion also didn't look too good, and her walking posture was a bit unnatural, indicating her injuries had not yet fully healed.
"Have those two women been found?"
Ye Wuhuan's eyes were closed, and a hint of ferocity flashed across his face.
It turned out that day in the Blood God Cult's cave, due to the dim light, and Ye Wuhuan's panic and chaotic mind, he hadn't clearly seen what Guo Gang and Qin Shou looked like after removing their makeup when they kicked him back into the cave. Therefore, he hadn't connected these two individuals with the two women he had encountered earlier at the Tiandi Club, and even now, he still believed Qin Shou was truly a woman.
"Your subordinate is incompetent; they haven't been found yet. Those two don't seem to frequent that venue. I sent people to question all relevant personnel, and they all said they didn't know these two people."
Gu Ling respectfully lowered her head, not daring to meet Ye Wuhuan's gaze.
"Hmph! Useless things."
Upon hearing this, Ye Wuhuan was immediately enraged. He violently flung his hand, sending the glass of red wine he was holding crashing to the floor.
With a crisp "bang," red liquid mixed with shattered glass instantly splattered everywhere.
Seeing this, Gu Ling pressed her head even lower, her body trembling slightly from fear. She knew very well that her Young Master had a habit: once he was in a bad mood, he liked to torment people.
"If there's no news, then why are you here?"
Ye Wuhuan's tone was impatient, his voice several degrees colder.
"Young Master, didn't you say earlier that your luxury watches and jewelry were stolen by that woman, and you wanted to acquire a new batch of good items, and also see if anyone was reselling your things on the black market? Just now, Old Jin, the City's largest underground antique dealer, contacted me, saying he has good items. I wonder if Young Master is interested."
Upon hearing this, Ye Wuhuan suddenly waved his hand, signaling the sexy woman massaging him to stop.
Then, Ye Wuhuan rubbed his somewhat sore eyes, slowly opened them, stretched, and lazily said, "Alright, let's go take a look. Jingjing's birthday ball is in a few days; I need to prepare a decent gift for her. Ordinary things definitely won't catch her eye. This is a good opportunity to buy some nice things, and I should also properly adorn myself; otherwise, wouldn't it be beneath my status?"
Qin Shou happily left Zhao Gang's gold shop. At this moment, holding over 2.7 million in cash, he felt incredibly comfortable.
He had previously taken out a temporary online loan of over 1 million to buy property. The interest on this online loan was quite high, which had always made him feel a bit pained. Since he now had ample cash, Qin Shou was too lazy to continue owing a loan that accrued daily interest, so he chose to pay it off in one lump sum.
Even so, Qin Shou still had over 1.7 million in cash!
With money, one naturally becomes more generous. Nuo Nuo, a four or five-year-old girl, was still wearing the wolf fur clothes Qin Shou had temporarily made for her. It was currently spring, and the weather was getting warmer. Nuo Nuo, wrapped in fluffy wolf fur, stood out particularly in the bustling shopping mall, attracting a 100%Return rate.
Everywhere they went, they attracted many people's sideways glances, each person scrutinizing Qin Shou with unfriendly eyes, thinking he must be a strange uncle kidnapping a little girl. Some even secretly called the police.
This gave Qin Shou a headache. Thinking that he now had money, he no longer wanted Nuo Nuo to continue wearing these eye-catching wolf fur clothes. Therefore, Qin Shou took Nuo Nuo to a children's clothing store and bought her several beautiful dresses that a little girl should wear.
And indeed, Nuo Nuo was naturally beautiful. Once she changed into the pretty clothes, she looked like an exquisitely perfect Barbie doll, attracting many glances from the older boys and girls in the mall who loved children.
After buying clothes, Qin Shou then took Nuo Nuo to enjoy a delicious roasted whole lamb feast and played extensively at the mall's arcade.
It must be said that although Nuo Nuo was a demon corpse, her mentality was completely that of a four or five-year-old girl. Qin Shou taking Nuo Nuo out for such a fun time of eating, drinking, and playing made little Nuo Nuo incredibly happy! Even when Qin Shou took Nuo Nuo to leave, the little girl was still a bit reluctant.
While Qin Shou was having fun with little Nuo Nuo, he was unaware that another crisis concerning him was brewing.
