328. Chapter 328: Perhaps It's the Same Person!

"Come, bro, I toast you with a drink."

Inside the private room.

Ge Xiaotian raised his glass, smiling as he looked at the man before him.

The man was one of the staff who had delivered herbs to him during the day, and after Ge Xiaotian's deliberate friendliness, the man readily agreed to have dinner with him.

"Ge brother, you're too polite."

The man, hearing that, lifted his glass with a slight tremor and then drank it down in one gulp.

It was clear he was a bit nervous.

Although he also works in the Alchemy Workshop, his tasks are all basic, even an ordinary person could handle them, so his salary is not high—just a little over ten thousand a month.

But this table of dishes costs at least several tens of thousands, equivalent to several months of his salary! Ge Xiaotian took in the scene, a hint of contempt flashing in his eyes.

If it weren't for this mission, a guy like the one in front of him wouldn't even qualify to sit at the same table.

He thought that inside, but his face remained warm as he urged the other to start eating.

"Ge little brother,"

Lin Yufan looked at Ge Xiaotian, his eyes uneasy, "Are you trying to ask me for a favor? Let me be clear, I can't commit embezzlement, because such deeds are easily discovered, and once discovered, not only you and I, but my family would also be implicated."

"Lin bro, where are you thinking?"

Ge Xiaotian said in surprise.

"Yang Guanshi trusts me so much, how could I possibly do something that betrays him? Rest assured."

"Really, truly?"

Hearing that, Lin Yufan let out a slight sigh of relief.

His current salary isn't very high, but it is stable.

Those dishonest, scheming people basically get caught, and their ends are terrible.

Of course, he isn't stupid.

"Ge little brother, what's the matter? Speak first, otherwise I really can't lift my chopsticks."

Ge Xiaotian heard that, laughed heartily, and said, "Bro, you're really cautious. Little brother here does have a small matter and wants to ask you for help."

"Ge little brother, go ahead and tell me. If I can help, no problem; if not, never mind."

Lin Yufan said.

"Alright."

Ge Xiaotian set down his glass and recounted the matter after he joined.

"Ge little brother, you mean you're very curious about the person named Zhang Cheng and want to meet him?"

Lin Yufan was surprised.

"Then just tell Yang Zhuguan, right?"

"I told him, Yang Zhuguan said that person is quite busy and may not have time to see me."

Ge Xiaotian sighed, "But I'm really curious about that person, really want to meet him; if I could discuss Refining Alchemy insights with him, that would be even better."

"I see."

Lin Yufan nodded, saying with a hint of regret, "Indeed there's no way, even Yang Zhuguan says so."

"No, there is another way."

Ge Xiaotian stared straight at him.

"Bro, you're in charge of delivering herbs to the various alchemists, you must know which Lian Dan Shi Zhang Cheng is in, right?"

"This, this..."

Lin Yufan's face showed difficulty.

Although he's not the only one transporting herbs to the various Lian Dan Shi.

But checking it would still be simple.

"Bro, if you can do me this small favor, I can give you 100,000 yuan as payment."

Lin Yufan's eyes widened sharply.

But he instinctively said, "Little brother, this doesn't comply with regulations, does it? If you really want to see that person, you could plead with Yang Zhuguan again; he values you so much, he'll surely agree."

"200,000."

Ge Xiaotian added another double.

In fact, with his Spiritual Power he could completely hypnotize the person in front of him.

But that would only allow a question-and-answer, and the information obtained would be far less complete than buying it with money.

"Little brother..."

Lin Yufan hesitated.

"300,000," Ge Xiaotian smiled, "Bro, as long as you agree, I can transfer the money to your account right now."

Lin Yufan took a deep breath.

300,000! That's almost his three years' salary! "Little brother, is it really that simple just to see him once?"

"Of course."

Ge Xiaotian replied without hesitation, "As long as you agree, bro, I'll transfer the money to you right now."

Saying that, he picked up the phone beside him.

"Little brother, no, no rush, no rush."

Lin Yufan waved his hands repeatedly.

"Wait, wait until we finish this meal, then it's not late to transfer."

He still couldn't quite believe it, that such a simple thing could net him three hundred thousand.

That works.

Ge Xiaotian nodded and made a gesturing invitation.

Lin Yufan finally picked up his chopsticks.

While eating, he proactively began sharing information about Zhang Cheng.

Mainly because the latter's alchemy is different from others'.

Others usually receive about ten portions of medicinal materials each time; even a bit more is only twenty or thirty portions.

But that person, however, receives over a hundred portions at once!

It's hard not to attract their attention.

But since then, they haven't sent him medicinal materials for many days.

How long?

Ge Xiaotian keenly sensed something.

"It's been a little over one to two weeks, I think?" Lin Yufan mused.

Ge Xiaotian furrowed his brows.

That shouldn't be the case.

From Yang Chun's reaction, that traitor's alchemy skill is certainly not ordinary; following this method of using ten portions of medicinal materials, even if it were a million worth of materials, it couldn't possibly last this long.

Actually, we find it strange too.

Lin Yufan chuckled, suddenly thinking of something, and said: "Right, after that, another person appeared, just like him, also receiving one or two million worth of medicinal materials at once to refine Spirit Nourishing Pills, and the most recent time was even more extraordinary!"

He first glanced around, then whispered: "The most recent time, we directly sent him medicinal materials worth ten million!"

Even Ge Xiaotian, upon hearing that figure, had his pupils widen considerably.

"Ten million worth of Spirit Nourishing Pill materials?"

"No, no, no, it's the materials for Second Grade An Shen Pill." Lin Yufan shook his head.

"Second Grade An Shen Pill materials?"

Ge Xiaotian felt it was unbelievable and asked.

"What is that person's name?"

"It seems to be called Xie Hui?"

Lin Yufan said.

"Has this person only appeared in the past few days?"

"Well, we specifically looked back through the records, and it seems, seems like he suddenly appeared out of nowhere; frankly, it's quite strange, and he initially also received Spirit Nourishing Pill materials. To be honest, if he didn't look completely different from Zhang Cheng, we'd really suspect these two are the same person." Lin Yufan laughed heartily.

Ge Xiaotian immediately narrowed his eyes.

Perhaps these two people are actually the same person?

Because this timing is too coincidental—exactly when those two people's assassination failed, the latter appeared, it's simply an excessive coincidence.

But there's one point that makes him doubtful: Jiang Cheng has only just entered the sect, shouldn't he be refining Spirit Nourishing Pills? How did he suddenly start refining Second Grade An Shen Pills?

"Older brother, what's wrong?"

Lin Yufan asked curiously.

"Oh, it's nothing, thanks for telling me all this, older brother—I'll transfer the money to you right away."

Ge Xiaotian smiled faintly.

He already knew the room numbers of the alchemy chambers where those two people were located; under normal circumstances, alchemists don't change rooms.

As for the actual facts, he'll find out after investigating tomorrow. (End of chapter)
