341: Chapter 335 Divination Tracking 341: Chapter 335 Divination Tracking Shen City, Fuyong Airport.
After getting off the plane, Chen Hai and his group didn’t head straight into customs.
Instead, they found a hotel in the Bao’an District just outside the northern customs gate to temporarily settle down.
Bai Xiaohang, Uncle Baoshan, Tian Mingjian, Xiang Dong, along with Chen Hai himself, the group in total was five people.
Considering some guys might want to corrupt a bit, find some fun at night, having them stay together might not be very convenient.
Although Chen Hai was a bit strapped for cash, he didn’t skimp when it came to renting rooms.
Five people, each with their own room.
The only difference was, Chen Hai stayed in a suite, while the others were in standard rooms or single rooms.
After everyone had checked out their own rooms, they gathered together again in Chen Hai’s suite.
“Boss, aren’t we going to Xiangjiang?
Why have we stopped here?”
The one who spoke was Bai Xiaohang.
The moment he heard Chen Hai was taking them to Xiangjiang to make a killing, he was full of energy, extremely high-spirited.
“The matter in Xiangjiang isn’t urgent, we still have to wait a few days.”
“First, we’ll stay here for two days, I have some personal matters to deal with!”
Pulling out a pack of cigarettes, distributing one to each of the people present, Chen Hai smiled in response.
“Wait a few more days?
My fists are already itching to go!”
“Last time, that thing at Hao River still feels to me like eating ice pops in June, unbelievably refreshing!”
“And those so-called tycoons?
They have quite the reputation, but in front of me and Brother Jian, they were nothing, just a bunch of losers.”
“That Brother Hao, acting like a little wife who’s been wronged, the sight of them looking all pitiful, I laugh just thinking about it in my dreams!”
“This time when we’re going to Xiangjiang, we’re not going to rob the rich to help the poor again, are we?”
With a sly smile on his face, Bai Xiaohang chuckled and teased.
Compared to the more outspoken Bai Xiaohang, Tian Mingjian, who had also experienced the same, was much more restrained.
Hearing Bai Xiaohang bring up the Hao River incident, Tian Mingjian just smiled gently, merely smiling faintly.
Xiang Dong, on the other hand, had eyes that shone brightly, as if he deeply regretted not being a part of that adventure.
“Xiaohang, your way of thinking isn’t good!”
“Do you understand what socialist core values are?
Robbing, even though it’s from criminals, isn’t something we can keep doing.”
“Leeks have to be given time to grow back after being cut before they can be harvested again.”
“To continue taking advantage of those tycoons, we have to wait another couple of years.”
“This time, I’m taking you guys to Xiangjiang to do some good deeds and make a bit of money on the side.”
With a meaningful smile, Chen Hai said.
Back in Capital City, he stayed in his courtyard, doing quite a bit of divination, and managed to decipher a lucrative financial opportunity.
In front of his subordinates, he only gave a rough outline and didn’t go into detail.
In his own words, taking his subordinates to Xiangjiang was like a team-building exercise.
He could address the issue of advertising expenses and let his men make a small fortune to boost team cohesion, killing several birds with one stone.
“However the boss says to do it, that’s how I’ll do it!”
“I’ve never been to Xiangjiang.
Even if I don’t make money, I can treat it as a trip and gain some new experiences!”
With an honest face, Uncle Baoshan smiled and spoke, which was rare for the typically reserved man.
Apparently, knowing they were going to Xiangjiang, he was in quite a good mood as well.
“Bro Xiaohang, the last time you made a run for it, you came over to Shen City, right?”
“You weren’t bragging in front of me, saying that you’ve ridden an ocean horse here, right?”
“The boss said we’re staying here for two days, so since we’re free anyway, let’s go and find some fun with the brothers!”
After learning from Chen Hai that they wouldn’t be heading to Xiangjiang for the time being, Xiang Dong dragged Bai Xiaohang aside to start talking about this matter.
They had only chatted casually for a bit when Tian Mingjian, who seemed so proper, was also drawn into the conversation.
In Capital City, he was a paragon of a man, and whenever he had free time, he would usually spend it at home with his wife and children.
What cat doesn’t steal a taste?
The words of the ancients still hold some truth.
Even Tian Mingjian, such a good man, had thoughts of stealing a taste, it’s just that, on normal days, he buried such thoughts deep in his heart.
Last time, in Hao River, he had been led astray by Bai Xiaohang.
Now, upon hearing Bai Xiaohang and Xiang Dong talking about ocean horses, his heart began to stir too.
After whispering amongst themselves for a while, they said goodbye to Chen Hai and sauntered out of the suite with arms over each other’s shoulders.
On the contrary, Uncle Baoshan maintained his simple and honest demeanor, sitting upright beside Chen Hai.
The reason he behaved this way wasn’t for lack of interest in women, but mainly because he had a lot of patience and very strong self-control.
If you really think about it, such people are quite frightening.
If he wanted to ambush someone, he could lie in the bushes by the side of the road, motionless, for many hours.
Thankfully he had followed Chen Hai; otherwise, Uncle Baoshan, also Bai Baoshan, would have had to serve another two years before release, and with the grudges that he harbored, who knew what kind of sensational actions he might take.
“Uncle Baoshan, aren’t you going to join them for some fun?”
“I’m not going.
With everyone gone, there’d be no one left beside you, boss.
I’ll stay here, so I can be of service if you need anything!”
“Alright, in that case, you can follow me!”
…
After a brief chat with Bai Baoshan, Chen Hai nodded.
With a flip of his hand, the copper coins used for divination appeared in his palm.
He pressed his hands together, jostling the copper coins within his palms for a moment.
“Clang…” There were several crisp sounds.
Chen Hai loosened his grip, and the copper coins in his hand fell onto the coffee table in front of him.
All three copper coins were yin; this was the Old Yin Gua.
Frowning slightly, Chen Hai continued his divination.
What he wanted to divine was the whereabouts of his cousin Huang Yong.
He certainly hadn’t forgotten the promise he made to his Fourth Aunt and Fourth Uncle.
He had long known from them that his cousin Huang Yong initially came here to work near Daling Mountain in Wan City.
After leaving there, he should have come to Bao’an District in Shen City.
Since he was already in Shen City and was staying for two days, looking for the whereabouts of his cousin Huang Yong was something he could effortlessly do.
He had no intention of being stingy in helping his Fourth Aunt with this small favor.
The first Gua was the Old Yin Gua, which seemed to be an ominous sign.
He collected the copper coins and continued to cast the Gua.
Soon, the Six Gua were completed, and the Gua imagery was assembled.
This Gua was the Same Gua, with Lower Kan doubling up as Upper Kan.
Kan represents water and peril; with two Kans piled on each other, it is danger upon danger, obstacles abound.
Among the Sixty-four Gua, this was the 29th Gua, the least of the least Gua, Kan represents water, the Kan Gua.
“A round moon shines upon the water, revealing only shadows, no trace to be found.
The foolish man thinks there’s treasure beneath and reaches down to grasp, but ends up grasping nothing.”
With a somewhat solemn face, looking at the Gua in front of him, Chen Hai silently muttered the deciphering of this Gua.
