Chapter 371: Agree to Meet

When I heard Qiao San say that,

I smiled and thought, this Qiao San is relatively easy to handle.

I scared him with a knife briefly, then sent him off with ten million.

People like that are also called old guns in Sijiucheng.

Such old guns are too shameful.

I said to Qiao San, "Brother, things between us will be easy from now on. They play their games; we just don't have to act seriously. They all have money and power, so we can take a little cash from them to spend."

"Zhao Ge, that's the idea. From now on I'll follow your lead."

"Alright, if anything comes up between us we'll get in touch. Goodbye, brother."

"Goodbye, Zhao Ge," Qiao San hung up.

I've already had He Zuming contact Qiu Xi,

let's first see what's going on over at Qiu Xi's side,

anyway, I must get the jar into Wen Han's hands. I will never hand the jar to Qiu Xi.

I need to contact Wen Han directly.

I was smoking in the villa's living room,

when Xiao Fang came down from upstairs,

"Jianqiang big brother, I have something I want to tell you,"

I looked at Xiao Fang and asked, "What is it, is Shen Honghong stirring up trouble again?"

Xiao Fang shook her head,

"I want to return to Zaocheng."

"Why?"

"I'm worried about my father. We all went out, and my dad is alone at Qi He Kuang. I'm so worried about him. What if he gets caught?" Xiao Fang said, her eyes reddening.

I said at that moment, "Xiao Fang, I understand how you feel. I'm also very worried about Shangguan Zhuren. He won't let us contact Qi He Kuang anymore, fearing it will affect our affairs in Sijiucheng.

Sigh, I also want to go back and see Shangguan Zhuren.

But would our return have any effect?

If we go back, we'd be walking into a trap.

Xiao Fang, the only thing we can do now is live quietly in Sijiucheng, wait for the chance, and deliver a fatal blow to them."

After hearing me finish,

Xiao Fang shook her head in disbelief,

"Jianqiang brother, I heard Shen Honghong say that our opponents are too powerful. We're not even a match for them. Shen Honghong has already lost hope in us.

She said we have no sign of counterattack now, we're fleeing everywhere; how could we possibly topple the Zhou Family? Jianqiang brother, I ask you, can we truly defeat them?"

It seems that after hearing Shen Honghong, Xiao Fang has little confidence left.

I smiled,

"Xiao Fang, have you lost confidence in us?"

Xiao Fang remained silent.

"Xiao Fang, let me tell you, we are already on this path, there's no turning back.

Shangguan Zhuren is staying at Qi He Kuang now, for what? To guarantee our safety in Sijiucheng.

He has placed his hope on us.

He stays at Qi He Kuang to check Kong Shi and his group.

We can only grit our teeth and move forward,

believe in ourselves, believe that we can definitely defeat them.

You don't need to worry about Shangguan Zhuren,

He will take care of himself. What you need to do now is keep a close eye on Shen Honghong and make sure she doesn't run away.

She has lived here, and many people know her. If she runs away, we will all be finished."

"Don't worry, Jianqiang brother, I will definitely protect Sister Honghong's safety," Xiao Fang said, then stood up and went to the second floor.

I watched Xiao Fang's back; I could understand her feelings.

She is certainly worried about Shangguan Zhuren's safety.

But we are powerless, and we don't know what's happening at Qi He Kuang.

Shangguan Zhuren has already assigned Xiao Feng, and told him not to contact me,

He wants to cut off every channel that reaches me, so I can focus solely on hustling in Sijiucheng.

Alright, I can only keep pushing forward.

By evening, He Zuming called me,

Wen Han agreed to meet; he wants to see the cricket jar.

Great.

This is exactly what I wanted.

Time quickly turned to night.

Ding Li drove, taking me and He Zuming to the boss's tea shop.

He Zuming and Wen Han arranged to meet inside the boss's tea shop.

I held the cricket jar gingerly; now I have to use it to talk to Wen Han.

We arrived at the boss's tea shop quickly; Qiu Xi was already waiting for us.

"Brother, you're here. Did you bring the stuff?" Qiu Xi asked.

"I've brought it. Brother Qiu, when will Mr. Wen arrive?" I said.

"Xiao Yan took Second Master Wen to fetch an appraisal expert; he wants to find a professional to assess it," Qiu Xi said.

Damn, Wen Han is really slick.

He actually went to find a cultural relic appraisal expert.

I said, "Alright, then we'll wait for Mr. Wen for a while."

Qiu Xi said, "Brother, hand me the jar so I can see it. Where did you scavenge this treasure from? Don't say you bought it at Panjiayuan as a commodity, then let someone cut in line again."

I laughed, "Brother Qiu, you say that as if I deliberately used a fake to tease Mr. Wen. This thing is an heirloom, a friend of mine happened to obtain it, He Zuming has already examined it thoroughly."

I won't give the thing to him; I want to keep this item in my own hands.

The owner looked at me and said, "Brothers, let's chat in the elegant rooms upstairs. Second Master Wen will be here in a moment."

We followed the owner upstairs.

It turned out the second floor was a series of tea rooms and elegant chambers the owner had specially renovated, places for guests to drink tea and chat.

Of course, those who can come here for tea are all regulars,

only those who know the owner can come to the second floor to drink tea and chat.

The second floor's decor is extremely luxurious.

Each tea room's entrance has a beautiful female attendant standing, dedicated to serving the tea room.

We entered a tea room called Spring Melody.

The interior was carpeted with thick rugs, and the room was filled with solid wood furniture.

A girl was playing the guzheng.

The owner said to us, "Feel free to sit wherever. What tea would everyone like? Tell me so I can have Xiao Yue prepare it."

Qiu Xi said, "I'll have Biluochun."

"I'll have whatever," He Zuming said.

"I'll have whatever," I also said.

"Alright, one pot of Biluochun, two pots of black tea, and bring me a pot of Gaosui. Xiao Yue, go prepare."

The attendant at the entrance, Xiao Yue, replied with a nod and entered the tea room to start preparing the tea for us.

In a short while, the tea was brought to each of us.

Qiu Xi looked at Xiao Yue, then reached behind her and patted her,

"Xiao Yue, we haven't seen each other these days, and you've put on some weight."

Xiao Yue blushed and said, "Boss Qiu, there are customers watching."

"It's fine, we're all friends. I come here every day to drink tea; who doesn't know that the owner keeps many beauties here,

not inferior to that Heavenly Realm.

Haha, that owner really has a lot of romantic luck," Qiu Xi said with a lecherous grin.

"Boss Qiu, looking at what you said,

this tea room wasn't prepared by you customers; Xiao Yue and the others just graduated from university and are very pure. I know Boss Qiu likes this.

So we let them come over to serve Boss Qiu.

"Boss Qiu, as long as you like, Xiao Yue will be yours," the owner said to Qiu Xi.

I was shocked to hear that,

to think they directly give people away here.

"Ha ha, boss, shall we discuss business first when Second Master Wen arrives? The girls here should be shown to Second Master Wen first.

After all, they're the main guests; we'll let him pick the rest later," Boss Qiu laughed.

"Qiu Xi, don't talk about me like that. What have I become?" the voice said from outside.

I heard the voice, spoken slowly and softly, and knew it was Wen Han.
