Chapter 401 - Earth Treasures Are Robbed! (1/2)
Chapter 401 Earth Treasures Are Robbed!The doctor looked at Fang Qiu in surprise, asking, “Is this also the treatment from Chinese Medicine?”
“There are so many Chinese Medicine treatments, and this is one of them,” Fang Qiu said.
“Chinese Medicine is not as weak as I thought.” The doctor nodded his head and added, “How about this? Let me treat you to a meal. I’m getting more and more curious about Chinese Medicine because of you. I’d like you to tell me more about it if I may.”
“Not today, I’m afraid. I got something else to do.” Fang Qiu smiled and shook his head. “Maybe next time.”
Then Fang Qiu left the hospital with Jiang Miaoyu.
When they went back to the hotel, Fang Qiu found that only three of the people who got into the final of Jiangjing were at the same school as him. He didn’t know the rest of the contestants.
Besides, Fang Qiu just knew that this hotel was specially prepared for the contestants from all over the country by CCTV.
Jiang Mengjie did not get into the final because she had only been studying Chinese Medicine for a year and did not have any background in traditional Chinese Medicine, so she failed.
Many people were also surprised by the generosity of the arrangement of the CCTV program.
There were over three hundred people. Each one had their own room. So the program had booked the entire hotel. It was an enormous amount of money in terms of accommodation.
“Have you unpacked your stuff?” Jiang Miaoyu asked when they reached the hotel.
“No.” Fang Qiu shrugged and said, “I just arrived this morning and went straight to you.”
“We were told that we were here to record the first two shows with 340 contestants. Only 100 people would be able to advance to the next round in the first episode. And 50 of them would get into the next round in the second episode. It’ll take three days to record the show. And we’ve spent two days coming here in advance, so we’ll be here for a week.”
Jiang Miaoyu said after doing the math, “Although this is a fine hotel, we won’t have any cleaning services in the next seven days because they just book the entire hotel.”
“Okay.” Fang Qiu smiled.
As they spoke, they had reached the fourth floor, in front of Fang Qiu’s hotel room.
“Let me help you clean up your room.” When Fang Qiu opened the door, Jiang Miaoyu walked straight in.
As soon as she entered the room, she saw that he didn’t even open his case.
Therefore, Jiang Miaoyu immediately went up and took out all the things in the case and put them away.
“I put the slippers in your bedside table and towels in the bathroom, okay?” Jiang Miaoyu had already started to help unpack Fang Qiu’s package.
“It’s okay. I can do this myself. You don’t have to do it.” Fang Qiu came forward with a smile, grabbing Jiang Miaoyu’s hand. “It’s time to have dinner. Let’s go.”
Then Fang Qiu took Jiang Miaoyu out of the room.
In the meantime, a flight from Jiangjing arrived at the capital airport.
A man in a black coat, dressed like Neo in The Matrix, walked out of the airport.
He was wearing sunglasses and smoking a cigar, which made him look quite haughty.
It was no one else but He Gaoming.
“Great, I’m sure no one would recognize me when I dress like this.”
Looking up at the sky, He Gaoming thought to himself as he smoked the cigar.
Actually, he came to the capital to sell the Earth Treasure for Fang Qiu.
Someone contacted him that there was a quite famous auction house in the capital that wanted to auction Earth Treasures without any commission.
That was why he came to the capital with three Earth Treasures.
“I got three Earth Treasures in me. I would be beaten the shit out of me if anyone knew my location. The handover starts tomorrow. I need to be more cautious tonight.” He Gaoming thought to himself.
He Gaoming walked out of the airport.
“The eastern part of the city, please.” He got in a cab and leave the airport.
“Baoyi Auction!” He Gaoming beamed.
He had done some research before. This auction house was quite powerful all over the country.
Capital Baoyi International Auction House was one of the top ten auction houses in Huaxia. Relying on its strong financial strength and industrial chain, as well as its extremely forward-looking strategic development ideas, this company determined to become an international prime auction house. With the development of over a decade, it managed to become one of the top 10 auction houses in Huaxia and also gained in popularity all over the world.
However, Baoyi Auction House didn’t just auction antiques, paintings, and porcelain which were popular with many people, it also did business in the martial arts world.
Therefore, the news that John Doe was going to sell Earth Treasures attracted a lot of the company’s interest. Earth Treasures could not only bring them more martial arts clients but could also help them take their place in the martial arts world. If they were recognized by the practitioners, they might be able to take charge of all the auctions in the martial arts world.
He Gaoming knew that Baoyi Auction House was quite powerful, so he rushed to the capital with three Earth Treasures.
The auction house was located in the eastern part of the city, so He Gaoming directly went there without wandering around in other places, for the fear that any accident might happen.
He Gaoming went straight to the hotel he had booked in advance as soon as he arrived in the eastern part of the city.
“It’s pretty good.” After looking at the room, He Gaoming realized that it was now more than two o’clock in the afternoon, and he hadn’t had breakfast yet.
Therefore, he went downstairs and headed for the hotel restaurant.
He couldn’t just leave the Earth Treasures in his room, so he decided to take them with him. However, it would be unsafe if he wandered around. Thus, the hotel restaurant would be the best option for him.
