Chapter 108: Brother, You Misunderstood Me

Bai Ying drove the car, sending Lin Feng home.

Seeing Lin Feng looking drowsy in the passenger seat, Bai Ying asked, "Are you tired?"

Lin Feng let out an "en" and said, "Every time I focus intensely, after relaxing I get dizzy."

Bai Ying didn't speak, and reduced the speed a bit.

After more than forty minutes, around ten o'clock at night, they finally arrived home.

Entering the living room, Lin Feng didn't even want to take a shower and just lay down on the sofa.

Bai Ying poured a cup of water for Lin Feng, then found a jar of honey in the fridge and added some honey to the water.

"Thank you!"

After taking the cup, Lin Feng said with a smile.

"Then you rest, I'm leaving."

Bai Ying was getting ready to leave.

"Wait!"

Lin Feng said, "Suddenly I have something I want to tell you."

Bai Ying sat down and looked at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng said, "Recently I met a professor named Shu Jingya..."

"Shu Jingya!?"

Bai Ying was somewhat surprised.

"You know her?" Lin Feng looked at Bai Ying in surprise.

Bai Ying thought for a moment and said the limited information, "She has worked with us before."

"Looking for treasure?"

Lin Feng asked curiously.

Bai Ying remained silent, because this is confidential information.

Lin Feng continued, "From Professor Shu, I learned that there actually exists a professional treasure-hunting company in the world."

"She called me a couple of days ago, asking if I had a treasure-hunting project and whether I was interested. Since Lieutenant Bai knows her, you should be able to tell me whether this Professor Shu is reliable or not."

Bai Ying nodded.

Lin Feng brought up Shu Jingya as a topic, not to ask whether she is reliable.

But to introduce another topic.

He said with a smile, "I casually flipped through things at Professor Shu's place and heard her talk about the story of WWII treasure."

"I myself have learned that there are many legends about WWII treasure, such as Nazi gold, the missing gold train in the north, and the gold looted and hidden by the little devils..."

"I say these because I'm curious about these things—if someone discovered them, besides cooperating with a treasure-hunting company, could we ourselves organize a team to hunt treasure?"

After Lin Feng finished, Bai Ying said, "If it's domestic, it's all state property. If it's abroad, the treasure-hunting process doesn't violate the law..."

Before Bai Ying could finish, Lin Feng interrupted, "Between us, let's not talk so high-mindedly."

Bai Ying gave Lin Feng a deep look, "You say I'm being high-minded, but some people speak in roundabout ways!"

Lin Feng felt a bit embarrassed.

Bai Ying said, "Just speak straight if you have something to say!"

Lin Feng said, "Let me give an example! Suppose I know a place where the little devils buried gold during WWII, inside Myanmar's borders.

"There are over 500 tons of gold; calculated at today's gold price, it would be worth nearly 30 billion US dollars."

"What would the rules be for such a treasure?"

After Lin Feng finished, Bai Ying thought and said, "Based on what I know, there should be several options.

"One, provide the information; if it's confirmed true, you can get a reward of no less than one hundred million, after which other matters have nothing to do with you."

"Two, cooperate with an overseas treasure-hunting company, turning over twenty percent of the profits as tax."

"Three, you handle it yourself; after bringing it back, turn over twenty percent as tax. But if any problems arise, they are your own responsibility..."

Lin Feng looked surprised, "I still thought everything had to be handed over to Guo Jia!"

Bai Ying explained, "The third option is actually encouraged in secret, because if the conditions are too harsh, the benefits will all be snatched by those overseas treasure-hunting companies."

Lin Feng nodded with a smile, "Got it! As long as we don't cause trouble domestically, overseas it has nothing to do with Guo Jia, right?"

Bai Ying nodded.

After resting overnight, the next morning Lin Feng regained his energy.

Making breakfast, mopping the floor, taking a shower and changing clothes...

After going through the routine, it was already nine o'clock in the morning.

Shu Jingya called.

Lin Feng drove and arrived at Xinshi Xiaoqu.

Building 4, Unit 803.

After Lin Feng pressed the doorbell, the door opened soon.

Wearing black-rimbed glasses, dressed in a silver-gray suit and skirt, with her legs wrapped in black ***, Shu Jingya appeared before Lin Feng's eyes.

"Jingya sis!"

Lin Feng said with a smile.

Shu Jingya immediately said with a smile, "Please come in quickly!"

After Lin Feng entered the house, he saw an old man with white hair and a young pretty woman still sitting on the living room sofa.

Shu Jingya introduced, "This is Wang Zhu, Director Wang, chairman of the All Wealth Treasure Hunting Company. This is Director Wang's assistant, Xiao He."

Before Lin Feng arrived, Shu Jingya had already introduced Lin Feng to the two of them.

Lin Feng smiled and shook hands with the two people.

Then the four sat down, and Shu Jingya took out some materials and handed them to Lin Feng.

The materials described a shipwreck salvage project in a certain sea area.

In the late Ming dynasty, a merchant ship carrying porcelain sank in a certain sea area due to a leak…

The treasure-hunting project required an investment of about 5 million USD, with projected income of 10 million USD.

After Lin Feng finished reading the materials, Shu Jingya smiled and asked, "Interested?"

Lin Feng nodded.

Wang Zhu smiled and said, "We've already raised over 3 million USD, still need 1.5 million; once the ship is salvaged, the income from selling the porcelain and other antiquities on board will be divided according to investment shares."

"Good! I'm in."

Lin Feng readily agreed.

Then Wang Zhu took out the contract and asked Lin Feng to sign.

After signing, Lin Feng wrote a check for over 9 million.

Wang Zhu was very pleased, had Assistant He receive the check, stood up, shook hands with Lin Feng, and said, "Mr. Lin, pleasant cooperation!"

Afterwards, Lin Feng and Wang Zhu chatted.

"Aren't you interested in treasure hunting? Why don't you join a treasure-hunting expedition?"

After Wang Zhu and the assistant left, Shu Jingya smiled and asked.

"Forget it!" Lin Feng shook his head, "Being out at sea every day is dangerous; I wouldn't put up with that!"

Shu Jingya said, "You're so straightforward—you gave money after just one talk; aren't you afraid of being cheated?"

I also don't know whether the "other person" Shu Jingya meant was herself or Wang Zhu.

Lin Feng smiled and said, "I trust your character, Sister Shu Jingya."

Shu Jingya laughed happily and said, "Don't worry! Since you call me sister, I won't cheat you."

She didn't realize that for Lin Feng, even if he spent this 9 million and got nothing back, he'd still be ahead.

From his recent conversation with Wang Zhu, Lin Feng at least grasped some of the treasure-hunting process and information.

These were precious, rare experience for an outsider like him.

After discussing the matter, Lin Feng should take his leave.

But he still made an excuse to stay, "Sister Shu Jingya, with all these materials, can I take a look?"

Shu Jingya said, "Feel free to look!"

After saying that, she raised her hand to check her watch and said, "I have class this afternoon; I need to go back to school. When you finish and leave, remember to lock the door!"

"Well… then I'll come another time!"

Lin Feng shook his head.

"No need to be polite with me, just do as you like."

After saying that, Shu Jingya picked up her things and left.

Lin Feng casually took a book from the shelf and began browsing.

It turned out to be a county gazetteer from the Song dynasty.

It recorded events that happened in a certain county over a period of time.

For example, a lunar eclipse appeared one night, a murder case occurred another day… and so on.

In just a few minutes, Lin Feng finished flipping through it, and the contents were forcibly impressed into his mind.

Next, he casually picked up another thread-bound book.

Opening it, he saw it was Japanese—a wartime diary of a certain officer in WWII, plus letters he wrote to his family.

Before he knew it, noon had passed.

At first, Lin Feng just wanted to skim a bit, then leave.

His original plan was to spend more time with Shu Jingya.

The beauty had left, so why was he still staying?

But after browsing several books, he became increasingly interested.

Ordinary people might not understand, but for Lin Feng it was like wandering through a certain period of the past.

Moreover, from these materials one could actually learn various ancient scripts.

Such as oracle bone script, Khitan script, ancient Indian script…

He continued until around six in the evening, when the sky was darkening, and only when Zhao Xiaoyang called did he snap out of it.

It was already nearly six; Lin Feng reluctantly set down the stack of yellowed paper he had been holding.

After checking that the room hadn't been messed up by himself, he opened the door and left.

Lin Feng had walked for ten or so minutes when Shu Jingya returned.

Then, somewhat hastily, she opened her bedroom and then her wardrobe.

Seeing that her clothes hadn't been disturbed, she opened the drawer and, upon seeing that the box labeled "boyfriend" inside had not been touched, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

By the time she reached school, she realized it wasn't good to have left Lin Feng at home.

Because she, a professor who appears proper on the surface, also has privacy.

If Lin Feng were to curiously rummage through the house and see something, how embarrassing would that be!

Still uneasy, she opened the computer.

The living room had a surveillance camera installed.

Looking at the surveillance footage, she saw Lin Feng actually browsing materials in the living room for most of the day, which surprised her greatly.

From the expression on Lin Feng's face, it was clear he had understood those materials.

This kid is really impressive……

Lin Feng drove to Fierce Tiger Gym.

Zhao Xiaoyang called Lin Feng, still about what happened last night.

The lounge on the second floor of the gym.

Seeing Lin Feng arrive, Wang Yu and Jiang Xiaofei quickly stood up.

Lin Feng merely glanced at the two, then pulled Zhao Xiaoyang aside.

Zhao Xiaoyang immediately took out a cigarette and gave it to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng frowned and said, "Xiaoyang, what do you mean? Are you trying to curry favor with me or what? Between us brothers, we don't need this."

Lin Feng was a little angry.

Zhao Xiaoyang gave a wry smile and said, "Brother, you've misunderstood me."
