Chapter 579: Chapter 0581: Qin Mei is Arrested

Scorned by three people, Chu Feng was also extremely frustrated. He returned to his room in frustration, while the bell-like laughter of Huang Zixuan and Li Xiaoran still followed him.

Early the next morning, Chu Feng got up and practiced some boxing. After having breakfast with Huang Zixuan and the others, Huang Jianye pulled him to go jade searching.

"There’s no need for so many people, having him alone is enough. You don’t need to follow me today. If he is really there, no one could even get close to me. Your presence would be in vain," Huang Jianye told the security personnel who were ready to follow him.

Determined in his viewpoint, the security personnel could do nothing. Moreover, after learning about Chu Feng’s background and capabilities, they were completely convinced by Huang Jianye’s words.

Chu Feng was an Earth Level expert, and if an Earth Level expert was by his side, nobody could harm Huang Jianye. Even if all of them were around, it would definitely be in vain.

Chu Feng drove, taking Huang Jianye towards the largest jade trading center in Yanjing.

"Elder Huang, they are just doing their job," Chu Feng said in the car.

Huang Jianye said, "I’m just a retired old man now; my death wouldn’t affect the country at all. The country would still function as normal, and having them follow me really makes no sense."

Huang Jianye’s carefree attitude indeed commanded everyone’s respect.

Even though he once held a high position, now that he was retired, he was truly retired.

If one must give him a title, that would be a retired official.

Soon, the two arrived at the jade trading center. For a standardized jade trading center like this one, Chu Feng really found it uninteresting because it lacked the excitement of Yunshuang’s public offerings. Many of the raw stones were already cracked open, presenting no challenge for Chu Feng at all.

However, Huang Jianye was inexhaustible, looking at this stall and then another.

Occasionally, he even asked Chu Feng to take a closer look. Finally, with Chu Feng’s help, Huang Jianye purchased a sealed piece of raw material.

When it was cut open, inside was a piece of Ice Species jade. This made Huang Jianye extremely happy; he insisted on taking Chu Feng for a couple of drinks at noon.

"Back in the day, having half a jin of sweet potato liquor could make me so happy I couldn’t even sleep at night. Now I have access to all kinds of fine liquor, but I just can’t find that feeling from the past," Huang Jianye said after taking a sip of the liquor, feeling nostalgic.

Chu Feng smiled and said, "Elder Huang, what the situation was like back then and what it is like now. Times have changed, life is different. Naturally, it doesn’t taste like the past anymore."

Huang Jianye sighed, "Yes, times have changed. The old flavors are gone. For an old nostalgic like me, it’s truly a loss. But for you young people, this is the best era. I would rather lose the taste of the past than want the country to remain as it was."

Chu Feng took a sip and said, "Elder Huang, I think that some things should remain as they were. Modern cities develop too fast and it’s easy to forget history. Some things should be preserved."

Huang Jianye looked at Chu Feng with admiration, "Chu Feng, you’re right. Some things should indeed be preserved forever. They should always be remembered so that later generations can know how hard-earned our current life is."

Chu Feng said, "That’s exactly my point. Some things have been handed down for so long, there must be a reason."

Huang Jianye said, "Young people nowadays rarely think like you do. This is the best era, but also an era where it’s easy to get lost."

Chu Feng said, "Elder Huang, the thing is, we are not lost; it’s just that some processes we must go through. Of course, some things are ingrained in our bones. Even if we want to forget, we can’t."

Huang Jianye laughed, "Anyway, I see hope in the youth from you. If the youth of Huaxia could all be like you, why would Huaxia worry about not being strong or wealthy!"

Chu Feng chuckled, "Elder Huang, that might be a bit difficult. I’m one of a kind, and young people like me are really hard to find. So it’s already not easy for you to have met me."

Huang Jianye laughed, "It is indeed not easy. Come on, let’s drink. Let’s not talk about these matters. At home, that young lady restricts me. Today I finally have a chance to drink a little."

"Dinglingling!"

Just as Chu Feng was raising his glass, preparing to toast with Huang Jianye, his phone suddenly rang.

"Elder Huang, I’m sorry, I need to take a call," Chu Feng said apologetically.

"No problem," Huang Jianye gestured for Chu Feng to go ahead.

Chu Feng picked up the phone, seeing that it was a call from Cui Jingyan.

Chu Feng answered the phone, saying, "Sister Yan, I’ll be back tomorrow."

Cui Jingyan urgently said, "Qin Mei has been taken away and hasn’t returned yet."

Chu Feng had thought that Cui Jingyan was urging him to return, but he hadn’t expected that it was actually because Qin Mei was in trouble.

Immediately, Chu Feng’s expression changed. Qin Mei was a very important person to him, his benefactor. Without Qin Mei, there would be no Chu Feng as he was today.

"Sister Yan, what’s going on? Please, take your time and explain," Chu Feng asked in a deep voice.

Cui Jingyan said, "Qin Mei was taken away by people claiming to be from National Security. I don’t know exactly what for, but it seems to be related to our Holy Stele plan."

Chu Feng asked, "When did this happen?"

Cui Jingyan replied, "Three hours ago. I’ve tried to find her through my connections, but there’s no clue at all. They might have already left East River. That’s why I hurriedly called you."

"Damn it!" Chu Feng cursed upon hearing Cui Jingyan’s words. Three hours allowed for too many possibilities to have occurred.

Cui Jingyan said in shame, "It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have let them take Qin Mei away."

Hearing Cui Jingyan’s words, Chu Feng quickly said, "Sister Yan, I’m not blaming you. That’s not what I meant."

Cui Jingyan said, "I do have a responsibility in this matter. But they were from National Security, and I really couldn’t stop them forcibly."

Chu Feng said, "Sister Yan, did you take note of their names and appearances?"

Cui Jingyan replied, "I had someone secretly take pictures, and I also had Little Black check their credentials before letting them take her away."

Chu Feng said, "Sister Yan, don’t worry. Send me their credentials and names right now. I’m going to National Security to demand her return right now. If National Security won’t hand her over, I’ll smash their headquarters."
