"Then let's go now."

Shan Shan said softly. Her body was trembling from exhaustion and her words were a little vague.

Elder Zhao looked at her coldly, nodded and agreed with Shan Shan pushing him to the next banquet. If he disappeared for too long, it would arouse suspicion, so he had to hurry over.

After they completely left, Zhong Wentao went back to the neighboring room quietly, pretending to not have found anything, and comforted Qin Mingzhu that she wouldn't be able to find anything after the banquet.

The two of them stood slightly closer to the corner. Qin Mingzhu's hand was always at the bottom of her neck, as if she was touching a necklace that didn't exist.

"This thing smells really bad, and it's so big. How can it be sold for so much? it's not even as beautiful as the pearl gems people wear around their necks. "

Zhong Wentao drank a mouthful of fruit juice, completely unable to understand.

Previously, when he attended the auction, he saw many people bid for jadeite stones, which was already hard to understand. Now that someone was paying such a high price for spices, the last piece was bought at an astronomical price.

"What do you know?"

Qin Mingzhu opened her mouth in disdain: "Things are precious because they are rare, if it were not for the rare spice, no one would spend so much money. In the past, diamonds were hard to come by, but now that everyone has one on their hands, do you think anyone would pay so much money to buy it?"

"That's true …"

Zhong Wentao nodded slightly, he understood what Qin Mingzhu meant.

After such a banquet, no matter how much money Elder Zhao owed him, he would be able to pay it off.

Elder Zhao was indeed Elder Zhao, the head of a businessman. Otherwise, he would not have used a piece of jade to hold Qin Haitang in his hands, allowing Qin Haitang to do many things for him.

As for the spices, they were probably related to Qin Haitang.

He was already certain that even if Qin Haitang wasn't killed by Elder Zhao, she was definitely connected to Elder Zhao in a huge way.

Looking at Qin Mingzhu, he was also hesitating whether or not he should say it aloud: "Zhong Wentao, why are you here?"

A familiar voice sounded from behind him.

Zhong Wentao turned his head, seeing Feng Chen and Dongfang Yuan appearing behind him, he was a little surprised, these two people had not appeared in front of him for a long time.

"I came to attend the banquet."

He surveyed his surroundings. Was there a need to ask about this?

Today, Dongfang Yuan was dressed normally. Even though she was beautiful, she couldn't recognize a single hair on her body, and if not for the fact that Feng Chen was behind him, he would have thought that this beauty had recognized the wrong person.

"It is said that the spices have been sold? My grandfather wants to go back and research, but Feng Chen that idiot actually blew a tire on the car, which caused me to come too late! "

Dongfang Yuan complained, and did not notice Qin Mingzhu at all.

Master Dongfang was also interested in spices, and it was beyond his expectations. If he really bought it, he would have definitely sold it to earn a lot of money.

Pointing in Elder Zhao's direction, he said, "He's right there. You can go over and ask him, there might be more to come."

Dongfang Yuan immediately laughed: "Don't be ridiculous, Elder Zhao risked his life to buy these spices from the people of Yan Jing, and he had hidden them for dozens of years before selling them. Do you really think these things can be found anywhere? It's something that can only be produced once every few decades, how could it be so easy? "

"You know about it too?"

Zhong Wentao opened his eyes wide in shock.

"Don't you watch the news?"

Dongfang Yuan continued, "Recently, the reappearance of spices has caused a huge uproar in the entire collection. Do you think that this item can be compared to ordinary diamonds? Otherwise, why would my grandfather be curious? I've brought all the money and it's all destroyed! "

After saying that, Dongfang Yuan quickly turned around and coldly glanced at Feng Chen with extreme dissatisfaction.

Knowing that he was in the wrong, Feng Chen casually did not refute. He lowered his head in front of his idol and did not dare to look at Zhong Wentao once.

"Who are they?"

Looking at Zhong Wentao, Qin Mingzhu asked softly. She clearly recognized the two in front of her, but if these two people didn't greet her, she could only pretend to be stupid.

While Qin Haitang was still alive, they had all come to his house before, but now that Qin Haitang was dead, not to mention the fact that her corpse was not yet cold, the murderer could not be found, and they could not even go into the ground. These people would never come to his house again, if they had any spices in the past, Dongfang Yuan would definitely be the first to come to Qin Haitang's place to complain.

"Second Miss Qin, long time no see. Please grieve."

Feng Chen was afraid that Dongfang Yuan saying something excessive would disturb the banquet.

Ever since her father disappeared, Dongfang Yuan became very weird. Although it was the same as usual, occasionally a sentence or two would be very harsh.

Qin Mingzhu's sister had just died, so she might not be able to take this blow.

Zhong Wentao was silent. He had already considered going to visit Master Dongfang and ask him why he was so curious about the spices there, since he happened to have Qin Mingzhu's necklace, this spice should be able to explain something.

"Thank you, Miss Dongfang."

Qin Mingzhu opened her mouth slowly, feeling nervous.

Before she could find her necklace, she had met the young and beautiful Dongfang Yuan. She had nearly suffocated to death from the suffocating feeling of Qin Haitang's death.

"Idol, it's been a long time since we last met. I'll treat you guys to a meal. It just so happens that there are four of us. How about we go have some western cuisine?"

Seeing that there was something wrong with Qin Mingzhu, she immediately opened her mouth.

It was not a secret that Qin Mingzhu was looking at the shrink's case. The doctor that consulted Qin Mingzhu was one of his former classmates, and he could be considered to have some understanding of Qin Mingzhu's situation.

Now, seeing Qin Mingzhu's trembling and her lips turning blue, she knew that if this carried on, something bad would definitely happen.

"Alright."

Zhong Wentao agreed immediately. The fragrance of the spices in the air was too strong, he did not want to stay any longer.

Elder Zhao obviously saw that Feng Chen was with Dongfang Yuan, so he wanted to come over to greet him, but he was not by his side.

He had left a piece of spice with the Master Dongfang and was waiting for Dongfang Yuan to appear.

Seeing through Elder Zhao's thoughts, Zhong Wentao immediately pulled Feng Chen and left, pretending to be hungry. There was something wrong with the existence of the spice, he had to quickly bring these people away.

If he stayed any longer, something might happen.

Although Zhong Wentao did not like western cuisine, he liked all kinds of food for free. This was related to his sect's traditional virtue five hundred years ago, he would definitely not waste anything.

As they sat in the dining hall, Feng Chen and the other two casually ordered their meals, and even considered ordering wine and beauty for the two ladies. After they had ordered everything, Zhong Wentao instructed the staff to order the same thing as Feng Chen, and immediately decided to order the dishes without even looking at the menu.

The waiter first served the appetizer, then brought the sober red wine over to pour for the four of them.

Zhong Wentao took a sip, and then said softly: "The red wine that nourishes the face, is actually not correct. In Chinese medicine, it will be treated from within, and to achieve beauty is not something that can be done with red wine."

"Shut up!"

The two women said the same thing, refusing to hear it.

They had all used this kind of ointment before, and were persevering now. Unless Zhong Wentao could come up with an immortal ointment, they could not reveal everything that had happened.

"Cough, cough …"

Feng Chen was a little embarrassed, he never thought that his idol would make such a mistake.

He told this matter to Dongfang Yuan a few years ago and all he received was a beating. Zhong Wentao's current feedback was already gentle.

With a bitter smile, Zhong Wentao said helplessly: "What I said was true."

"Even if red wine is useless, the atmosphere is still very lively. It's not like you never drink much at all."

Dongfang Yuan said coldly, her tone slightly ambiguous, as if she was very familiar with Zhong Wentao.

They had only eaten a few meals before they remembered Zhong Wentao's habit.

Qin Mingzhu's hand trembled twice as she forced herself to calm down, but it was useless.

Zhong Wentao rubbed his nose, not intending to continue fighting with Dongfang Yuan.

He had to think about how to leave with Dongfang Yuan after eating dinner, and he couldn't wait to ask Master Dongfang a few questions.

Zhong Wentao did not raise his eyebrows at the two beauties in front of him, and this made Feng Chen have a whole new level of respect for him.

"Frigid Smoke."

Suddenly, someone called out a familiar name.

Dongfang Yuan was the first to react and looked towards the table in the distance. A man sat there and waved towards the woman who entered the room.

She was deeply impressed by this name, and the moment she heard it, she immediately reacted.

Zhong Wentao looked at the door a little later, thinking that Li Hanyan was extremely beautiful tonight. It was obvious that she had dressed up diligently to come over for a date, but she also recognized that man, it was Pei Yun!

Li Hanyan actually saw Pei Yun again. In this kind of place, wearing an elegant and proper date uniform, the two of them didn't seem like they were going to break off all relations.

In a short period of time, the three beauties that he knew had appeared here. It seemed that this restaurant had the ability to summon beauties.

Li Hanyan had obviously seen them as well, causing her originally smiling face to immediately stiffen. She never would have thought that they would be seen by Zhong Wentao.

She came here because she had a plan, but would Zhong Wentao believe her explanation?

"Han Yan, come here quickly!"

Seeing Li Hanyan stop, Pei Yun urged him impatiently.

Although he still had a polite, fake smile on his face, he looked a bit irritated. It was obvious that he was not satisfied with the wait.

It was not the time to explain, Li Hanyan glanced at Zhong Wentao, and could only grit his teeth and walk over, pretending to not know this table of people.

"Hur hur, your girlfriend has run away."

Dongfang Yuan spoke out directly, her tone full of ridicule.

But she was also probing who Zhong Wentao's girlfriend was, as she had yet to truly admit it, and was also looking forward to it.

"The matters of others have nothing to do with me."

Zhong Wentao did not mind as he continued to eat the goose liver in front of him.

Li Hanyan had chosen the road, if something were to happen, it had nothing to do with him.

Satisfied with his reaction, Dongfang Yuan smiled as she ate.

Qin Mingzhu did not understand anything, but only ate quietly and did not talk much. The four of them unexpectedly had a harmonious atmosphere, Feng Chen did not expect this.

On the other side, the atmosphere wasn't so good.
