Chapter 66: Recognition

  After the auction that was destined to have no result ended, Nie Tianbao directly got so angry that he vomited blood and was hospitalized. The business of "Yu Shi Zhai" plummeted, and Zhao Zhanggui also resigned in indignation.

  Having suffered such a great loss, would Nie Tianbao be willing to give up? On the surface, he reported the case to the Public Security Bureau, but secretly, he found a group of people from Shishi Gang and promised a large sum of money to investigate Qin Feng's whereabouts.

  For a time, the city of Shi was quiet and peaceful, with even pickpocketing incidents at the train station decreasing significantly. But Qin Feng's actions were flawless, and after getting his hands on the money, he fled to a distant land, leaving behind no clues whatsoever.

  Only Ge Lao from "Qí Shí Zhāi" had ever been suspicious of Qin Feng.

  It's just that there was no basis for it, and Ge Jun didn't know the young man's background. Secondly, Nie Tianbao being unlucky was absolutely a delightful thing for him, so naturally the old master wouldn't make things complicated.

  －－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

  For Qin Feng, what happened in Shicheng has nothing to do with him. Whether Nie Da is unlucky or not depends on his IQ, and Qin Feng will not feel any guilt at all.

  After getting off the train, Qin Feng took a taxi directly to the Hai Zhu Hotel near Chongren Palace in Jin Tian City, booked a triple room, and after instructing Xie Xuan and Li Tianyuan for a few sentences, he fell asleep immediately.

  Qin Feng was snoring loudly in the room, which made Xie Xuan and Li Tianyuan anxious. Knowing that Qin Feng had been working hard these days, the two of them lowered their voices when speaking.

  The two brothers were unfamiliar with the local customs in Tianjin and didn't dare to wander around, except for going out to eat something, they had been hiding in the hotel room. Fortunately, Qin Feng finally woke up at noon on the second day.

  "Feng Ge, we...we live in such a high-end place, how much money does it cost per day?"

  After going out, Xie Xuan realized the importance of money even more. The over 1,000 yuan he had earned from selling monkey tickets was now reduced to just over 100 yuan after deducting transportation costs and expenses for the past two days.

  "I'll wash my face first, these past few days have really exhausted me..." Qin Feng stretched his waist, got out of bed and washed up, suddenly feeling refreshed.

  From making fake to setting up, it took almost a week, Qin Feng had been busy all the time, especially on the last day when he was in close combat with Nie Tianbao, which made Qin Feng feel extremely exhausted, because in that process, if there was any slight mistake, all previous efforts would be wasted.

  This was the first time Qin Feng had put into practice the Thousand Gates technique taught by his master, and it seemed that Qin Feng should be a natural at this line of work. A sixteen-year-old youth had actually toyed with two old rivers and lakes under his control.

  "Brother Qin, are we going to stay here from now on?" Unlike Xie Xuan, Li Tianyuan wasn't worried at all. He only knew that as long as he followed Qin Feng, he wouldn't have to worry about food and drink.

  Qin Feng shook his head and said: "I haven't thought it through yet, let's go out and take a walk first..."

  "Feng Ge, why don't I head back home? We're running low on money."

  Xie Xuan saw that the two brothers didn't care about money, and he couldn't help but frown. His parents were in this city, although they weren't as wealthy as before, but they could still take out tens of thousands of yuan.

  "Don't worry about money, did I really work hard for nothing recently?"

  Qin Feng heard this and burst out laughing, reached out to grab the backpack that he had been using as a pillow, pulled out a stack of RMB from inside, and tossed it at Xie Xuhan, saying: "Don't flash your wealth around, you and Yuanzi just carry a few hundred on you, once I figure out what to do next, this money will be our capital."

  "This... is so much money?"

  Out of the blue, Qin Feng took out a stack of 100-yuan bills, and Xie Xuan and Li Tianyuan were both stunned. Xie Xuan was wondering where Qin Feng's money came from, while Li Tianyuan had never seen so much money in his life.

  At that time, when Li Tianyuan didn't enter the juvenile detention center, he could only extort some money from those school kids, and in a day, it was just tens of yuan. This stack of cash suddenly stunned him.

  "Feng Ge, which two pieces of jade are those?"

  Xie Xuan's brain was quick-witted, and he immediately thought of the play they had performed two days ago. However, they were just extras and didn't know what happened afterwards.

  Qin Feng waved his hand, stood up and walked to the door quietly, took a look, then turned back and said: "That's right, there are many people on the train and it's not convenient for me to talk. This time's money will be enough for us to use for a while."

  Not to mention Xie Xuan and Li Tianyuan, even Qin Feng was a bit uneasy when he first got the money, and on the train with all sorts of people, he didn't dare tell them that there were hundreds of thousands in the bag.

  "Brother Feng, 10,000 yuan is not even enough for anything."

  Xie Xuan put the stack of money that had not been unsealed by the bank back in front of Qin Feng and said, "This hotel costs 180 yuan per day. If we eat and drink extravagantly, I think it will be gone in less than two months."

  Although Xie Xuan was not at the counter when he opened the room, he had already inquired about the hotel's consumption while Qin Feng was sleeping.

  Before Qin Feng took out the 10,000 yuan, Xie Xuan was even discussing with Li Tianyuan whether to wait for Qin Feng to fall asleep and then run away to stay in a luxurious hotel.

  "Who said it was just 10,000? I went through so much trouble, and it's all for just 10,000 yuan?"

  Qin Feng threw his backpack onto the bed, and more than 20 stacks of 100-yuan bills suddenly appeared in front of Xie Xuan and Li Tianyuan.

  "My god, is... is this money real?"

  If what happened earlier was astonishing, then Xie Xuans and Li Tianyuan's current feelings could be described as shocking.

  Even if Xie Xuan's family had a fortune of tens of thousands in the past, he had never seen so much cash, and the impact on his senses from the numbers and visuals was absolutely different.

  Xie Xuan's first reaction was counterfeit money. In his opinion, if Qin Feng could turn a stone into jade, then making some fake money would be a piece of cake.

  "Nonsense, of course it's true, those two pieces of jade were sold for 2.5 million."

  Qin Feng divided the pile of money into three portions and placed them in front of Xie Xuan and Li Tianyuan, saying: "You two also participated in this matter, this is what you deserve..."

  "Stop it, Wind Brother, I...I didn't do anything, this...this money I cannot take."

  Xie Xuan jumped up like a scorpion had stung his butt, waving his hands repeatedly: "Feng Ge, I've learned a lot from following you, no matter what, I absolutely cannot take this money!"

  Compared to his arrogant self in school, Xie Xuan undoubtedly matured a lot after experiencing imprisonment and family changes. He made the most important decision of his life between Qian and Qin Feng without much consideration.

  "Alright." Qin Feng smiled faintly and turned his face to look at Li Tianyuan, saying: "Tianyuan, you too. Put this money away."

  "Brother Feng, what do I need this money for?" Li Tianyuan chuckled and said: "Following Brother Feng, there's food and drink, if I want to spend money, I'll just ask you again, isn't that enough?"

  Li Tianyuan's thinking is simpler, as long as he follows Qin Feng to eat, drink and practice kung fu, money has no concept for him. In the past two years, he has quit smoking except for drinking a little wine, so there are fewer places where he needs to spend money.

  "You two haven't seen money open your eyes for a long time, and you've been through thick and thin with me for over a year. You're my brothers, Qin Feng's brothers."

  After hearing the two men's words, Qin Feng nodded slightly, and it wasn't until this moment that he truly acknowledged Xie Xuan and Li Tianyuan in his heart. At least they hadn't lost their minds because of money.

  As for power and beauty, these are temptations that may be encountered in the future, but at least for now, they are brothers that Qin Feng can trust!

  "Feng Ge, let's celebrate!" Li Tianyuan chuckled foolishly beside him, for whom being full and content was already happiness.

  "Yeah, it's time to celebrate and relax a bit, these past few days have been quite stressful."

  Qin Feng nodded and handed over five 100-yuan bills to Li Tianyuan, saying: "Tianyuan, you go buy some wine and dishes back, we'll eat in the room."

  "Alright, Feng Ge, let's get drunk today and forget our worries." Li Tianyuan took over the money and hastily left.

  After Li Tianyuan left, Xie Xuan took a look at Qin Feng's face and tentatively spoke up: "Brother Feng, shouldn't we use this money to do some business? Although it's not a small amount, we can't just sit around and waste it, right?"

  Watching the tens of millions of assets at home turn into nothing, Xie Xuan's desire for money and sense of crisis were far stronger than those of his peers. Although he had 200,000 in front of him, he didn't have much sense of security.

  "You and I think alike, Xiao Pang, what shall we do?"

  Qin Feng originally wanted to make some money to settle down Li Tianyuan and the others, then go find his sister. However, Xie Xuan's words also made sense - relying on crooked ways to make a fortune would eventually lead to downfall.

  "What to do? I...I don't know either." Xie Xu rubbed his head, a look of bewilderment on his face. More than half a year ago, he was still a carefree rich second-generation, who would have thought about making money?

  "There's no hurry, let's spend a few days in Tianjin City first. It's close to the capital and there are many things we can do here."

  Qin Feng smiled and put the money back into his backpack, casually throwing it onto the bed. The backpack, which contained over 2 million yuan, seemed unimportant to both of them.
