After the old man finished talking, he also left without delay, turning around and descending the stairs.
Chu Feng watched the old man leave with a very ugly expression on his face. Initially, Chu Feng had wanted to find an ally, but now he had not only failed to find one but also encountered an obstacle.
Chu Feng lingered on the second floor for a while before descending the stairs in a depressed mood.
"Wait a mont!"
Just as Chu Feng was about to leave the tea house, the boss who had been closing his eyes suddenly called out to him.
Chu Feng stopped in his tracks and turned around to ask, "What is it?"
The boss opened his dull eyes and said, "You smashed my table, how do you plan to compensate?"
Chu Feng was startled at hearing this. That old man’s ears were really sharp, to be able to hear the sound of the table breaking from the second floor.
And when he had acted, he had made sure to minimize the noise as much as possible.
"How do you know it was who smashed it, couldn’t it have been those two just now?" Chu Feng asked.
The boss replied, "Those two don’t have the ability."
Chu Feng could tell that this boss was not simple either, so he admitted defeat and said, "Just na your price, I’ll compensate you."
The boss held out a finger and said, "One hundred thousand."
Chu Feng was shocked at the price and said, "One hundred thousand! Are you trying to rob ? Your table is just an ordinary table, neither an antique nor a relic. You’re asking for one hundred thousand as if it could cover the cost of refurbishing this entire tea house."
The boss replied, "If you don’t want to delay your own affairs and don’t want to end up in the Public Security Bureau with this old man, then that’s the price. Besides, I assure you, spending this money will be worth more than what you get."
Chu Feng interrupted the boss and said, "Fine, fine, fine. You’ve got sharp ears—you heard my urgency. I admit my bad luck this ti. I’ll go get the cash for you, just write a receipt."
The boss took out a POS machine and said, "I can process card paynts here."
Chu Feng was dumbfounded at this sight.
Such an old-fashioned tea house could actually accept card paynts and even had a POS machine.
Chu Feng took out his card and let the old man swipe it himself.
Chu Feng’s card didn’t have a password, and he couldn’t be bothered to look anymore.
After the card was swiped, Chu Feng took a look at the bill and his eyes widened in astonishnt, "Didn’t you say one hundred thousand? How did it turn into a million now? Are you trying to scam , old man?"
The boss leisurely wrote a receipt and said, "Rest assured, my establishnt has a century’s reputation for honesty. I won’t cheat you. This is your receipt; I guarantee it’s worth the cost."
Chu Feng took the receipt, scanned it briefly, and shoved it into his pocket, saying, "Fine, I’ll let it slide today, old man. But once I’ve taken care of my own affairs, watch demolish this shabby place of yours."
The boss laughed, "This old tir won’t die in the next few days. I’ll be waiting for you to co find ."
Having said that, the old man closed his eyes again, ready to sleep.
After leaving the Jixiang Tea House, Chu Feng also drove away directly.
After leaving the tea house, Chu Feng headed straight to Elder Huang’s ho.
The person from the Shangguan Family made it very clear, telling him to complete the task he had left unfinished.
The task he ca for was to deliver the base model of the Holy Stele, wasn’t it?
Clearly, they were after this base model.
For Chu Feng, the lives of his friends were far more important than this base model.
Arriving at Huang Jianye’s place, Chu Feng also explained his situation to Huang Jianye in detail.
Huang Jianye listened and frowned without a word.
"Elder Huang, I have to save my friends," Chu Feng said earnestly.
In the end, Huang Jianye nodded and said, "Fine. The item is yours, so it’s your decision. But I hope you can think it over tonight, to decide whether your friends are more important, or the national interest is more important."
Chu Feng said, "No need to think about it, my friends’ lives are the most important to ."
Huang Jianye said, "Think it over tonight. If your answer is still the sa tomorrow morning, then I’ll agree to let you take the item and leave."
Chu Feng had no choice but to agree. Anyway, there were twenty-four hours left, which was enough ti.
After settling down at Huang Jianye’s place, Chu Feng also called Zhang Shisan to update him on the situation and instructed him to ensure An Rongrong’s and others’ safety no matter what.
This was Chu Feng’s greatest concern. Since Official Huang had been captured right under his nose, he worried that An Rongrong and the others might et the sa fate.
Zhang Shisan told Chu Feng that An Rongrong and the other girls were all living together under his protection, which sowhat relieved Chu Feng’s worries.
The next morning, Chu Feng got up early.
He went outside, and Huang Jianye was already there.
"Have you made up your mind?" Huang Jianye asked.
Chu Feng nodded and said, "I’ve made up my mind."
Huang Jianye replied, "Then make your choice."
Chu Feng picked up the Holy Stele and walked outside.
Huang Jianye truly didn’t try to stop him and let Chu Feng leave just like that.
Chu Feng threw the Holy Stele into his off-road vehicle and then drove towards the Dragon Soul.
There was still so distance to travel from Dragon Soul to the main city area of Yanjing.
When Chu Feng arrived at the Dragon Soul Base, he was once again intercepted.
"We need to inspect your vehicle," said the people from Group Five, the sa group that Chu Feng had beaten up before.
Chu Feng looked at them and scoffed, "I’m already here; do you really think I would use a fake to deceive people?"
"We’re just conducting a routine check," the people from Group Five said with a mix of pride and arrogance.
Chu Feng was equally unyielding and asked, "What if I say no?"
"If you say no, you know the consequences," Group Five replied without being explicit, but Chu Feng understood what they ant.
However, Chu Feng still responded firmly, "I’ve said it before. If a hair is missing from the two sisters, I’ll level this place. If you don’t move today, I’ll flatten you first to add a little color here."
"Don’t be too presumptuous, Chu Feng!" scread a person from Group Five, pointing at Chu Feng’s nose.
Chu Feng started the car and said, "Today I’ll show you just how presumptuous I can be. If you don’t move, I’ll run you over first."
Seeing that Chu Feng was serious, the one responsible for inspecting the car turned pale with fear.
He could tell that Chu Feng wasn’t joking.
Soon he received an order through his headset to let Chu Feng pass, and with clenched teeth, he reluctantly allowed him through.
After passing this checkpoint, Chu Feng drove directly into Dragon Soul’s base without any further obstacles.
