Guo Xuyang was speaking when Xiao Yun’s phone rang.
“Mr. Xiao, we found the car, but the goods are gone. We found two security personnel; the other two are missing.” Wang Jinlong’s voice came from inside.
“Mr. Wang, we have a contract, so please report it to the police. I’m in Shanghai now, not in the provincial capital. We can discuss it when I get back.”
“No, Mr. Xiao, even if you sold my entire company, it wouldn’t be enough to compensate you for these goods.”
“You can take that up with your lawyer. One more thing, my boss wants to entrust you with another delivery. He specifically requested Fang Shizhong to deliver it personally. Are you agreeable?”
“I’m unable to take your business for now. I need to handle this matter first. Those two people don’t know where they’ve hidden.”
“Whatever you decide. If it’s convenient, please send me Fang Shizhong’s details.” Xiao Yun hung up the phone.
“What’s going on?” Xu Dahai asked.
“A batch of goods sent from the provincial capital was hijacked,” Guo Xuyang replied.
“Should I ask someone to find out what happened?”
“No need. The security company has already reported it to the police. What kind of top-tier enjoyment are you talking about? Can Yu’er and the others join?”
“Of course. Let’s deliver the items back first. Before it gets completely dark, we can find a place to have some fun.”
Guo Xuyang readily agreed and asked Xu Liping, Xiao Yun, and Xiao Yu to drive back with the rough stones and jade. He, along with Yu’er and Ye Zi, would follow Xu Dahai.
“I’ll send you the location when we arrive. You can deliver the goods back first.”
“We’re not going. You guys go have fun,” Xiao Yun said.
“We’re being treated today, so why wouldn’t we go? It’s a free meal. He just brought back hundreds of millions.”
“Mr. Xiao, this is our first meeting. Please give me a chance,” Xu Dahai added.
“Alright then. We’ll come find you later.” Xiao Yun said and went back to deliver the rough stones.
“Where are we going? What’s fun around here?” Guo Xuyang asked.
“You’ll know when we get there,” Xu Dahai said, starting the car.
“Manager Xu, we can’t keep these rough stones at your place anymore. Let’s send them to the Antique Street. We don’t want any accidents tonight,” Xiao Yun said.
“That’s fine. They have a safe and an alarm system there too,” Xu Liping replied.
“Does Mr. Guo not want us to cut the stones at the club because he’s afraid of being targeted?”
“There are considerations of that nature. If I’m not mistaken, the rough stones we have, the materials inside will be worth at least a billion. Especially Xiao Yu’s piece, its value is even higher. This is Yang Zi’s apology.”
“Mr. Xiao, I don’t have to take it,” Xiao Yu said from the side.
“If Yang Zi gave it to you, you should accept it. The women around him all have their own jewelry. You can keep some to make your own jewelry and sell the rest.”
“Okay, Mr. Xiao.”
“From now on, you can call me Yun Jie when you address them. I’m a few years older than you. Yang Zi has told me about your matters before. Last time, when Yang Zi had the baby banquet, it was my fault for not considering things thoroughly. Don’t take it to heart. Yang Zi is very generous to the women around him. Wasn’t there also a Xiao Hong here with you at that time?”
“Yes. She returned to her parents. Mr. Guo asked her to study hard so she could help him manage the company when she returns,” Xiao Yu replied.
“Yang Zi has quite a few women around him. Sometimes he might be away for ten days to half a month and not come back. So, if there’s anything you need him to resolve, you can tell me first, and I’ll try my best to help you.”
“Okay, Yun Jie. Sister Ping here has been very good to me. She tells me everything and has taught me a lot.”
“That’s good. When Liping returns, have her focus more on the hotel side. Yang Zi isn’t too satisfied with the work in that area.”
“Mr. Guo mentioned this to me this morning. He asked me to contact some travel agencies. We can cooperate with travel agencies to increase the hotel’s occupancy rate.”
“It’s better that he told you. This hotel didn’t have a good reputation before, and it won’t recover overnight. Cooperating with travel agencies to improve the hotel’s visibility is a shortcut. Once the reputation is established, business will naturally pick up. Xiao Yu, you should also learn some hotel management knowledge from Liping. As one of Yang Zi’s women, you’ll have to stand on your own sooner or later.”
“Okay, I will learn more from Sister Ping from now on.”
The three of them drove quickly to the Antique Street. As soon as they locked the rough stones in the safe, Guo Xuyang’s call came through.
“We’re near Brother Xu’s place. He’s taking us to shoot. I’ve sent you the address, hurry over.”
Xiao Yun opened her phone and saw that the distance to Guo Xuyang’s location was less than five kilometers.
“Let’s go, maybe we can get our fill of shooting today.”
Xu Liping and Xiao Yu were also eager to try. Gun control is so strict nowadays that ordinary people can’t get their hands on firearms.
It was the evening rush hour, and it took nearly an hour to reach the destination.
“Why did you take so long? We’re almost tired from playing,” Guo Xuyang said as soon as he saw the three of them.
“Evening rush hour, the traffic was really bad.”
“Then you guys go play, I’m going to rest for a while.”
Guo Xuyang was too familiar with firearms after playing a few times at the training base, so there was no suspense for him. Yu’er was even more so. And Ye Zi, with a raise of her hand and a shot, was almost always on target, completely overwhelming Xu Dahai. Seeing Xiao Yun and the other two arrive, he regained some confidence. He went back to being a teacher again. Guo Xuyang was happy to be free and went to the lounge to sleep.
Shanghai, as an old industrial base, has many powerful tycoons. Therefore, as a witness to history, there must be good things in the Huangpu River. He closed his eyes and extended his senses, moving along the bank and outward. Apart from some dilapidated shipwrecks, old porcelain bowls, and some jewelry, which were in a state of disrepair from being submerged, he was not disheartened. Penetrating layers of silt, he finally found a box of gold jewelry. The gold bars inside were buried in the silt and were not severely oxidized. *Receive.* He silently recited the word and directly transferred the box into his mind.
At this moment, Xu Dahai entered.
“I say, brother, why are you sleeping here?”
“It’s boring. I thought you were taking me for a massage. At this time, we should find a place to relax our bones, get a massage, and steam in a sauna. I never thought you’d bring us here to play.”
“Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean they don’t. Mr. Xiao and the others are having a great time.”
“Tell them to shoot fewer rounds. They’ll know the pain when they go to bed tonight. Don’t be surprised if their arms can’t be lifted tomorrow.”
“Hehe, I just gave them instructions. But it seems they haven’t played before, so they’re not listening to any advice.”
