Chapter 647 (2/2)

Chu Yuan slightly leaned his face to the side and spoke to the young man beside him, “Send someone to investigate him. I must find out what’s his identity no matter what.”

“I advise you not to make this decision, Chu Yuan.” Suddenly, Xue Yu interjected. “He… has something nefarious about him. Only a few people in this world can make me dread and shudder, but something in him gives me a terrified feeling. There’s something about him you probably haven’t learned about. I can’t predict his fate, and neither can I see through his soul.”

“What did you say?” Chu Yuan suddenly exclaimed and gasped. He had some knowledge of Xue Yu’s special ability. She was able to divine an ordinary person’s life and soul unless they were from The Three Arts lineages.

This Tang Xiu…

“Do I still need to send someone to investigate him, Boss?” Asked the young man in a whisper.

Chu Yuan was silent for a moment before he forced a smile and said, “Since Jade Beauty has said that, do not investigate him. It will be harmful if we were to investigate him since we don’t know the details about him at all as of yet. So, we must not have a fallout with him for the time being.”

After leaving the exhibition center, Tang Xiu went to a secluded place to store all the jades and jadeites into his interspatial ring. It was already 8 PM when he arrived home. He saw that his parents were accompanying Tang Xiaohan and Gu Yin and chatted with them. After greeting them, he then quickly walked upstairs to the second floor.

He got a lot of jade materials today and would start crafting a batch of jade bottles and jade boxes if there were no important matters he needed to tend to. Certainly, it was also necessary to craft a batch of array discs to be used to arrange a Feng Shui array.

The reconstruction of Nine Dragons Island was estimated to be finished next year. At that time, he would arrange a massive array on the entire Nine Dragons Island, which would need a massive number of array discs. Despite having gotten these jades today, the number was still far from enough.

After taking a shower and changing his clothes, he came back downstairs. Su Lingyun, who just walked out of the kitchen, saw Tang Xiu and said with a smile, “Son, the meal has just been reheated. Let’s eat first.”

“Alright, Mom!” Tang Xiu faintly smiled and followed Su Lingyun to the dining room.

“Where did you go this afternoon, Xiu’er?” Asked Su Lingyun curiously. “Chen Zhizhong came to our house today, and since you were not here, he left something he brought before leaving.”

Tang Xiu stared blankly. He did not know for what reason Chen Zhizhong paid him a visit. If he had something and needed to see him, couldn’t he just call him directly? After pondering about it, he took his mobile phone out and dialed Chen Zhizhong’s cell number.

“Master!” Chen Zhizhong’s voice was transmitted from the mobile phone.

“I heard you came to my house in the afternoon. Do you have something to talk to me?” Asked Tang Xiu.

“I just obtained a Millennium Wild Ginseng this morning, Master. I intended to deliver it to you personally, but you weren’t home,” said Chen Zhizhong. “Also, there’s something I need to say to you. Thank you so much for what Master did in the capital…”

“Alright. I know what you mean.” Tang Xiu interrupted him and smilingly said, “Your son is my grand disciple, and his matters are naturally my business. Anyways, leave out these superficial things towards me in the future, understood? By the way, I wanna ask you something. How much do you know about Jade?”

Chen Zhizhong let out a hollow laugh and then said, “I know a little about it, Master. You too know that for people like me who has a little bit of money likes to get some good quality jade, so I once studied about a bit on jades and precious stones from an expert in the past. That’s right, do you need some jades, by chance, Master? I have a few good quality Mutton Fat Jades and Nephrites in my home.”

“Just keep those few articles first! It will be useful to you in the future,” said Tang Xiu. “What I really want to ask you is, do you have any interest in setting up a jade business?”

“Setting up a jade business?” Asked Chen Zhizhong in a baffled tone. “What’s the plan you have in mind, Master?”

“I need jades; a lot of them,” said Tang Xiu. “The higher the quality of the jade, the more I need them. If you are willing to manage a jade business, you don’t need to worry about the fund issue as I can invest a sum of money for you to use. Thus, getting jades later would be much easier.”

“I’m more than willing, but I’m lacking the capital to carry it out, Master,” said Chen Zhizhong wryly. “Besides, all my floating capital is currently being used to maintain the Endless Virtue Pharmaceutical’s business, whereas the rest of my funds are invested in the New City project, so…”

“I can give you 5 billion yuan for the starting fund,” said Tang Xiu.

Chen Zhizhong was silent for a few seconds and then said seriously, “Then I’m willing to try it, Master.”

Tang Xiu smiled and said, “Since you’re willing to try, I will transfer the money to your bank account tomorrow. Do remember, I won’t ask you how much money you must earn as long as you can get a massive number of precious jades. Also, there’s one more thing I need to tell you. Someone who’s in charge of your Endless Virtue Pharmaceutical’s business in Blue City is kind of problematic. Thus, maybe you have similar problems in other cities, too. You should check it yourself.”‘

“What have you found, Master?” Chen Zhizhong was secretly startled.

“Some people are selling precious medicinal herbs behind your back,” said Tang Xiu.

Chen Zhizhong’s expression greatly changed as he replied in a heavy tone, “I see. I’ll investigate this immediately and handle it well, Master.”

“Alright!” Tang Xiu replied and then directly hung up.
