Chapter 39

Lin Fei processed the materials he had ordered yesterday at home, and after preparing a large jar of pickled peppers and bamboo shoots, he started to prepare for the afternoon transaction.

At 2 PM, a small truck parked at the back door of the Dream Home headquarters.

When Lin Fei got out of the passenger seat, he immediately saw Zhou Xiaochuan waiting with over ten people.

Seeing Lin Fei get out of the car, Zhou Xiaochuan quickly approached and said with a smile, "Long time no see! Mr. Lin!"

"Yes! The money is in the car. Have your people count it. I hope my business doesn't get out," Lin Fei instructed.

"Don't worry about that. You are one of our long-term clients. Dream Home strictly protects the privacy of our clients," Zhou Xiaochuan assured.

"Alright! As usual, once these properties are handled, I'll still entrust you to manage them. Just make sure to transfer the payments to me on time every month," Lin Fei said.

"Sure, thank you very much, Mr. Lin. Let's go to the lounge for a rest. Our accountant will handle your business shortly," Zhou Xiaochuan led Lin Fei to the lounge.

True to its reputation as the top real estate agency in the country, Dream Home was highly efficient. Thanks to an employee with the ability to count money quickly, it took only a little over an hour to confirm the 40 boxes of 140 million yuan that Lin Fei had brought.

After the money was confirmed, the subsequent procedures were much simpler. Lin Fei spent half an hour signing the contracts and completed the 140 million yuan property transaction by around 4 PM. All he had to do now was wait at home for the property deeds to be delivered.

Lin Fei and Zhou Xiaochuan walked out of Dream Home.

"Mr. Lin, let me drive you back."

"No need. I have some other things to do. You don't have to see me off. I'll go back on my own," Lin Fei walked towards the nearby subway station.

"Alright, take care. If you need anything, just contact me," Zhou Xiaochuan said, watching Lin Fei's back.

Lin Fei waved and disappeared into the crowd. Zhou Xiaochuan stood there, looking up at the clouds in the sky, feeling as light and happy as the clouds.

"Wife, return that bag. Let's buy a better one."

...

After dealing with the cash, Lin Fei felt a great sense of relief. He calculated his current fixed assets: he owned 53 houses and 3 shops, leaving him just 47 short of his goal of 100 houses.

"Let's take a break for now. I'll wait until the recent robbery incident is over before I deal with Wang Wu again," Lin Fei thought about the future spirit stone transactions as he walked into a roast duck restaurant.

"Number 9, real name Zhang Quan, from Hucheng, 3rd stage initial level, ability: Gale, which increases his speed. He joined Greedy Wolf 3 years ago," Tiezhu looked at Number 9 and asked, "Was the person who defeated you yesterday just a passerby?"

Number 9, expressionless, replied, "No, he was already inside the store when I arrived."

"Do you know what he was doing there?"

"Not sure. He said the spirit stone we were about to take was his, and that we couldn't take it. Then we fought."

"Did he use any abilities?"

"Not sure."

"Where is your headquarters?"

"Telling you wouldn't help. We don't know its exact location. We only know it's in the mountains outside Ancheng. Every time we go in, we are blindfolded."

"Director, these guys are too cunning. Based on the information provided by Number 9, we can't find Greedy Wolf's headquarters," Chen Qun said, frustrated. They had finally caught a big fish from Greedy Wolf, but couldn't get any crucial information.

"Hmm!" Xie Yurong crossed her arms, tapping her right hand on her arm.

"Director, are you thinking about that mysterious passerby?" the young girl beside her asked.

"Yes, from the confession of the captured Number 9, we know that this passerby is extremely powerful.

He fought Number 9, who was using a spirit weapon, for dozens of rounds. If he had used his ability, it would be one thing, but if not, that's terrifying. His strength could be at the peak of the 3rd stage.

To block the sharp edge of a spirit weapon with his fingers, he must have infused a large amount of spirit energy into his hands. Each collision consumes a huge amount of spirit energy, so cultivators rarely use their physical bodies to directly confront an opponent's spirit weapon unless there is a significant power gap," Xie Yurong speculated.

"Director, but he was able to take out so many people in such a short time, so he must be at least in the high 3rd stage," Chen Qun said, sharing his thoughts.

"At least in the high 3rd stage. And he was selling spirit stones. At his level, he wouldn't keep the spirit stones for his own cultivation but instead sell them, which means he must have a lot of spirit stones," Xie Yurong said.

"Maybe he has a spirit stone mine, so he doesn't care about these few spirit stones," the young girl guessed.

"Who knows! Maybe he did find a spirit stone mine somewhere," Chen Qun said.

"Wang Wu is unwilling to reveal information about the passerby, and we can't force him. Tiezhu, send two people to keep an eye on his shop. If the passerby appears again, have them make contact," Xie Yurong gave new instructions. "Before the students from the Cultivator Academy are ready, our current manpower is still a bit tight. When we encounter someone with such strength and no ill intentions, we should try to recruit them to ease our pressure."

"Understood, Director. I'll send people to keep an eye on the shop right away," Chen Qun said.

"Tomorrow I have a mission in Xing'an Forest. I'll leave the matters in Rongcheng to you. Don't let anything go wrong while I'm away, understood?" Xie Yurong said seriously.

"Don't worry, Director. We won't let anything go wrong," everyone present said in unison.

"Director, is it about the black bear mentioned by Mr. Yang last time?" the young girl asked.

"Han Xue!" Chen Qun called out.

"It's fine, it's not a secret.

Indeed, it's about that black bear. Our investigators found that the area where the black bear lives has a very high concentration of spirit energy. The research institute speculates that there might be a large spirit energy vein there, but it won't be easy to take it over.

The area is deep in Xing'an Forest, with many other beasts nearby. The black bear is at the high 3rd stage and has many other beasts under its command. Therefore, the headquarters has issued a call for high 3rd stage cultivators to participate in the operation in the capital."

"Going after the black bear! But there aren't many high 3rd stage cultivators available right now. Many places need people to guard them, so there won't be many going to the capital," Han Xue said.

"I don't know. We'll find out the specific plan and the number of participants once we get to the capital," Xie Yurong said.

"Director, be careful on this mission. They wouldn't call people from so far away if it wasn't serious," Tiezhu said.
