Liu Quan exhaled heavily, his gaze towards Gu Jin was extremely complex.
With Gu Jin’s appearance, if she encountered those powerful figures, she would definitely be unable to escape.
He opened his mouth to say something, but in the end said nothing, gently shaking his head.
Gu Jiajie felt very stifled, the gaze from those two men earlier made him very uncomfortable, but unfortunately, this wasn’t Qingshan Village; he couldn’t just get into a fight whenever he felt upset, he couldn’t afford to provoke them.
For the first time in his life, he wanted to become strong, to turn into one of those people he currently couldn’t afford to offend, so that others wouldn’t dare to look down on him.
With a ding sound, the elevator door opened on the sixth floor.
"We’re here, follow me."
Liu Quan walked out of the elevator and led the way.
The group of four stopped in front of room 6888.
Standing at the door, Liu Quan was a bit nervous, he glanced at the three behind him and raised his hand to gently knock on the door.
"Knock knock knock..."
As soon as the knocking sound was heard, the door was opened from the inside, a very tall and strong man stood at the door, while a male voice was heard from inside.
Liu Quan seemed to know the man standing at the door, and casually said, "I’m looking for Brother Hai."
The other man glanced at Gu Jin and Gu Jiajie, and said coldly, "Come in first."
The four of them entered the room, and the male voice from inside became clearer.
"I said this business deal can’t be done, Liu Laosi’s dealings aren’t clean, I don’t want to get involved in his business."
Sitting on the sofa in the room’s hall was a man, holding a thick and somewhat long mobile phone, he was on the phone with someone, his face full of impatience.
During this era, mobile phones had replaced the cumbersome brick-like big brother, but they couldn’t compare with those of later years.
The phone that the man was holding would cost around twenty to thirty thousand at this time, capable of making calls and sending texts, much more convenient than the old big brother models.
It was evident from the phone in the man’s hand that his identity was not ordinary. He looked to be in his early thirties, wearing black trousers and a light blue shirt, with a vest-style thin knitwear on top.
As he noticed several people entering the room, the man raised his eyes to look over.
Seeing Liu Quan and Dali, his expression remained calm.
When his gaze passed over Gu Jin and Gu Jiajie, his eyebrows raised slightly and a different expression flashed through his eyes.
Not sure what the person on the phone said, but the man’s eyebrows furrowed deeply: "I won’t touch Liu Laosi’s business, no matter how much money is offered, don’t forget what my brother-in-law does, getting involved in those matters is a death wish!"
"Find someone else if you want, I’m not lacking this bit of money..."
When the man finished the call, he leaned back on the sofa, his gaze scanning over Liu Quan, Dali, Gu Jin, and Gu Jiajie.
Liu Quan approached with a fawning smile: "Brother Hai, these are the two I called you about yesterday, they have wild ginseng and it seems quite good."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Qianghai raised his eyebrows, reaching for the cigarette on the marble table along with an old-style aluminum-cased wheel lighter.
He lit a cigarette, staring at Gu Jiajie and Gu Jin; the former appeared calm but actually exuded some provincial pettiness, while the latter was composed and unhurried.
He smiled and asked, "Where’s the ginseng? What variety is it? How much do you have?"
When Liu Quan called him yesterday, he talked about how large and good the wild ginseng was; he was skeptical deep down.
Nowadays, there are plenty of farmed ginseng, but genuinely good wild ginseng is indeed rare.
