Chapter 190 Going into the Mountains

It was a rare trip out, so after arriving in Hegang yesterday afternoon, Yingying casually bought a detached villa while strolling around.

Many people in various places like smaller apartments because they are easier to sell, while villas, due to their size, price, and decoration costs, are more difficult and time-consuming to sell.

However, Yingying was considering that Xu Qinglang already had quite a few small houses, so she has been sticking to the villa route. This has been a strategic policy set long ago, and Yingying has been firmly implementing it.

Not only must she surpass you in number, but she must also obliterate you in terms of housing type!

In addition, Hegang has been trending recently due to news of low-priced housing, which has indeed made many property owners feel uneasy. At this time, Yingying, who always buys houses in full cash, has indeed become a sought-after customer.

Yingying left the remaining procedures to be handled by the real estate manager from Tongcheng.

According to Yingying, once the dragon vein is found, everyone can take their time to return, and that villa can be used as a place to settle down and recuperate since it is already decorated.

Boss Zhou was already numb to this.

Especially after seeing Yingying's thick stack of property certificates that could be used to play poker,

he no longer had much interest in houses.

Of course, Yingying's money is Yingying's, Yingying's house is Yingying's, and Yingying's wealth is also Yingying's;

Boss Zhou has always been clear about this and never thought of interfering.

He just needs to ensure that Yingying is his.

Around nine o'clock in the evening, Zhou Ze went to bed to rest. They had to set off into the old forest tomorrow, and it was hard to say what they would encounter. It was also difficult to say whether there would be another chance to lie down and sleep so comfortably, so he had to cherish it.

He woke up after a good night's sleep.

He slept very comfortably.

At seven o'clock,

everyone came to the hotel restaurant for breakfast.

Zhou Ze was a little surprised not to see Attorney An downstairs.

When it was time to gather and depart,

three cars were already prepared outside the hotel,

but Attorney An was still nowhere to be seen.

In this team, Attorney An Buqi was indispensable. At least, Attorney An Buqi's organizational skills could allow Boss Zhou to comfortably act as a hands-off manager.

After waiting for a while longer, Zhou Ze took out his phone and dialed Attorney An's number. The call connected, but no one answered. Soon, however, a disheveled man ran over from the hotel entrance.

"Hoo... Boss."

The smell of alcohol hit him like a wave.

Zhou Ze frowned subconsciously, his pleasant mood in the morning being instantly dispelled.

Had this guy been soaking in a wine vat all night?

"I had a little too much fun yesterday, hehe, sorry, sorry."

As he spoke,

Attorney An wanted to open the car door and get in.

But Yingying blocked the car door.

Yingying pointed to the back.

Attorney An smiled awkwardly and didn't get angry. After all, everyone was familiar with each other, and they all knew the boss's obsession with cleanliness.

He turned around and got into the back car.

Everyone was here, and the animals were here too. Let's go!

Starting from Hegang city, they headed north. The car that the white fox was in led the way, and the other two cars followed behind.

Since it was the white fox who first proposed taking Zhou Ze to Northeast China to find the dragon vein, as a local fox,

it was indeed qualified to act as an early guide.

After reaching the transfer point, everyone stopped their cars because the next part of the journey required walking into the forest. The cars could no longer proceed.

Everyone found a slightly open space, packed their backpacks, ate something, drank some water, rested for a while, and then prepared to set off.

Among all the people, only Boss Zhou didn't have a backpack. Even the little monkey's satchel contained a lot of food and water, but no one said anything. It wasn't because he was the boss and could get special treatment, but because Yingying was already carrying a mountain of supplies.

"Where did you go last night?"

Geng Chen asked while eating chocolate. Today was the day to set off, and you delayed such an important matter; it's really not justifiable.

"I drank a little wine, and then I blacked out." Attorney An scratched his head. "When I woke up, I found myself lying on the side of the road. I was even woken up by a sanitation worker auntie."

"Hehe, you're lucky there's no vagrancy policy now, or you'd be sent back."

"The problem is, how could I get drunk from drinking?"

Attorney An pointed to himself,

"Do you believe it?"

A person who is skilled in mental power is not easily intoxicated. Even drugs have little stimulating effect on his mind.

In addition, he is someone who can't sleep. Without the little boy by his side, taking sleeping pills, other than causing his body to deteriorate, cannot make him fall asleep normally.

"There are many great immortals in the Northeast. You might have encountered one of them. It's not a matter of whether you can beat them or not. If someone attacks you by surprise, no one can withstand it."

This was the only reason that could be attributed to it. Attorney An must have encountered some tough guy last night and was knocked down.

But since the other party allowed Attorney An to continue snoring and sleeping, they probably didn't have any malicious intentions. Otherwise, everyone wouldn't be here now; they would have to rent a mourning hall at the funeral parlor for Attorney An's memorial service.

"Maybe, anyway, I don't remember who I met or where I went last night. My wallet seems to be a little empty; I don't know how much is missing."

"You should carry less cash next time. With electronic payments, you can check where you spent your money yesterday."

"Electronic payments are not safe. If they want to get you, they can just find a place for bathing, scan the code to pay more than 600, and notify everyone to register and explain the situation."

"You don't have a wife, what are you panicking about?"

"What are you talking about?"

Zhou Ze sat down next to them with a bottle of orange juice.

"Boss, I'm sorry, something really happened yesterday."

"It's okay. You really don't remember anything?"

There's really no saying of making mistakes due to drinking in the bookstore, because most people don't get drunk, so Zhou Ze wasn't angry at Attorney An for getting drunk and delaying the departure time last night. There must be other reasons.

"I don't remember. The only thing I'm sure of is that I must have drunk a lot of wine. Oh, right, there's a lipstick mark on my neck."

Attorney An pointed to his neck.

"Maybe you had a romantic encounter with a fairy."

Attorney An started laughing as he spoke.

"And then the fairy was afraid that the great immortals in the heavens would blame her, so she deliberately made me confused?"

"Why don't you say you went drinking with the King of Hell last night?" Geng Chen sarcastically said.

"Hey, I wish! If I really had the chance to drink with the King of Hell once, I'd willingly be impotent for ten years!"

The atmosphere in the bookstore was still good. Although both the old Daoist and Yinggou were opposed to the current authorities in Hell, Boss Zhou had never shown any eagerness to counterattack Hell and restore it.

Moreover, with their current level of strength, looking at the Ten Yama Kings, they still had to have some yearning.

Zhou Ze took a sip of orange juice

and said,

"Everyone, be careful. I have a feeling that something might happen this time we're looking for the dragon vein."

After speaking,

Zhou Ze stood up

and looked out at the old forest in front of him.

Actually,

he quite liked this place in Northeast China. It was vast and magnificent, and the climate here also made him, who liked the cold, very satisfied.

"Wh... at... is... wro...ng..."

Yinggou's voice sounded from the bottom of his heart.

Also trembling

was the stupid pen in Zhou Ze's pocket.

The stupid pen seemed to want Zhou Ze to put it back,

from the stupid pen's point of view,

it seemed to always carry a kind of "pursuit" unique to humans,

and it was something that transcended ordinary pursuits, a more sublimated level.

It was like constantly roaring:

"I don't want to seal Wangcai anymore, I want to seal that most awesome big shot!"

This kind of vigorous ambition and fighting spirit

made Boss Zhou a little unaccustomed to it.

Looking around,

it seemed that the entire bookstore now, in terms of "struggle",

all added up, couldn't compare to a single stupid pen.

"I always feel a little uncomfortable, like something might happen, a sixth sense, maybe."

"A...wa...tch...dog...'s...si...xth...se...nse..."

Zhou Ze directly ignored Yinggou's nonsense

and said,

"You say, the dragon vein is probably very precious, right? How come it's just waiting here for us to take it?"

"It...wa...s...n't...ea...sy...to...ta...ke...be...fo...re..."

"It is now?"

"Yes..."

"Besides you, there should be other people who can take it, right?"

"Yes..."

"What if, I mean, what if, what if they come too, what do we do?"

Yinggou was silent,

Zhou Ze was also silent.

After a while,

the familiar dramatic long note sounded again:

"Can...non...fod...der..."
