Tomb raiding: Intercepting Yin Xinyue and building a family of immortals

The defense officer was arguably one of the most powerful people in the entire Changsha City.

At the same time, the Zhang family is also the most powerful family in Changsha City.

Zhang Qishan became the leader of the Nine Gates, and everyone accepted him wholeheartedly.

“From now on, this will be the place where the Nine Gates hold their meetings!” Zhang Qishan said slowly. “This private room is big enough and safe enough.”

On the one hand, he owns shares in the antique business.

On the other hand, it's inconvenient to go to his house for meetings every time.

It would be best to set the meeting place at Su Chen's antique shop, as this would be most advantageous for Zhang Qishan.

"Seconded!"

Others nodded.

"Bang bang bang..."

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Everyone immediately fell silent.

A moment later, a voice came from outside the door, "Brother Chen, Mr. Henry from the trading company is here."

"Partridge Whistle, Chief Chen, and Red Girl have also arrived."

Mr. Henry?

Su Chen had previously asked him to help her import a Ford car.

Mr. Henry had said at the time that he would attend the opening ceremony of the antique shop.

"Please be seated, everyone. I will go and greet you."

Su Chen got up and walked towards the door.

"Let's go out for a walk and take a look around."

Zhang Qishan then got up.

The matter has been settled. The two most important members, Su Chen and Zhang Dafoye, have left today; there's no point in them staying here.

I might as well go out for a walk.

"Old dog Wu!"

Seeing that the current head of the Wu family was about to leave the private room, Huo Xiangu hurriedly called out and then quickly followed Wu Laogou's steps.

The others looked at each other in bewilderment.

In the vast city of Changsha, everyone knows that Huo Xiangu has feelings for Wu Laogou.

Everyone just smiled.

……

Outside the antique trade.

Henry has arrived, and Yin Xinyue is chatting with him.

"Mr. Su!"

Seeing Su Chen approaching, Henry greeted him first, "Mr. Su, I've already sent a telegram. My friend across the ocean has already purchased the car you need."

"Next, it will be transported by sea to the coastal port, and then by land to Changsha City."

"Don't worry, I'm already expediting the process. You might be able to pick up your car in less than two months."

Henry said this in front of everyone, his purpose being nothing more than to advertise himself.

The profit margin for imported cars is too high.

He sold Su Chen a car for 3,400 silver dollars, while it would only cost 1,000 silver dollars to buy it on the other side of the ocean. The sea freight would cost about 700 silver dollars, and the journey from the port to Changsha City would cost 100 silver dollars.

Based on this calculation, he can earn at least 1,600 silver dollars on this trip.

He hardly had to worry about anything along the way, as the ships he used were from the United States and were safe and reliable.

It takes some effort to reach the coastal port and transport the goods to Changsha, but Henry has already cleared all the checkpoints.

In addition, given his American identity, the warlords, large and small, along the way would give him some face.

Foreigners enjoy numerous privileges on this land.

Henry wanted to use Su Chen to advertise. Today, all the famous people in Changsha City had come. If they all came to buy cars from him, he would make a fortune!

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Henry!"

Su Chen cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

"Mr. Su, this is a congratulatory gift for the opening of your antique shop."

Henry clapped his hands, and the man beside him immediately handed over a black box.

Then, Henry gave the black box to Su Chen.

“Mr. Su, this is a Rovel watch made in Switzerland,” Henry said.

Wristwatches were definitely a rarity in the early years of the Republic of China, mainly because many of their components were very small and required precision manufacturing.

Domestic factories can only perform rough processing; precision-machined parts require high levels of skill from both lathe operators and workers.

This watch must be worth at least three or four hundred dollars.

"Thank you, Mr. Henry!"

Su Chen bowed and thanked him again.

"New Moon, take Mr. Henry to the back compartment to rest for a while."

Su Chen gave instructions.

Mr. Henry is a distinguished guest, so we should treat him well.

Before long, General Manager Chen, Partridge Whistle, and others also came to show their support.

"Team Leader Su, congratulations on your grand opening!"

General Manager Chen offered up a treasure by presenting his head.

This treasure is quite valuable and can serve as the store's prized possession.

Partridge Whistle also took out a precious item to congratulate him.

Zhang Hulu gave a perfunctory bow. He didn't have anything valuable on him, and since he was already a resident of Sujia Village, there was no need for him to be so polite.

On the other side, Zhang Qishan, Huo Xiangu, and others were secretly startled when they saw Partridge Whistle and Chief Chen arrive.

These people are definitely insiders, and they are exceptionally skilled.

"Brother Zhang, do you know who these people are?"

Old Wu approached Zhang Qishan and asked.

"Never heard of it before. I didn't expect Su Family Village to be so formidable." Zhang Qishan frowned. It seemed he had underestimated Su Chen.

Unbeknownst to them, they had recruited so many experts.

"Go and find out, then you'll know."

Qi Tiezui smiled and walked toward Partridge Whistle and President Chen.

"My name is Qi Tiezui. May I ask who you two are?"

Qi Tiezui was straightforward and didn't beat around the bush.

"To pluck the stars, one must invite the God of Literature; to move mountains, one must not move Everlasting Mountain; what is burned is Dragon and Phoenix Auspicious Incense; what is drunk is the water from the Five Lakes and Four Seas."

Partridge Whistle spoke slowly.

"On Changsheng Mountain stands a tall building, where heroes from all directions come to gather. Dragons and phoenixes symbolize good fortune and friendships are formed, while the waters of the five lakes and four seas surge forth."

Mr. Chen nodded and continued.

"You...you two are the Mountain Moving and Ridge Unloading people?"

Qi Tiezui was shocked.

The four lineages of "Moving Mountains and Unloading Ridges," "Tomb Raiders and Grave Robbers," and "Gold Diggers" are renowned throughout the country.

The Mountain Moving Clan is elusive, appearing and disappearing without a trace, and few can find their tracks.

The Xieling lineage has always lived in Hunan, so why are they in Changsha City?

"And this one is a successor of the tomb raiders."

General Manager Chen pulled Zhang Hulu over and introduced Zhang Hulu's identity.

"This……"

Qi Tiezui was no longer calm.

In terms of strength, Zhang Qishan is the strongest among the Nine Gates.

But when it comes to tomb raiding skills, the Su family is probably the strongest among the Nine Gates, and the other families can't even come close.

After gathering the information, Qi Tiezui hurriedly returned to Zhang Qishan's side and whispered the news he had just heard in his ear.

For a moment, Zhang Qishan couldn't calm down either.

"I never expected that Brother Su would actually exceed my expectations."

Zhang Qishan smiled but didn't say anything more.

Upon learning of this, the other departments were all speechless with shock.

How did it develop into such a behemoth right under their noses?

In terms of overall strength, the Su family is probably now the second-ranked family among the Nine Gates.
