Hearing the question and seeing Xu Fei’s cold, indifferent gaze, the guy jolted in fright, immediately crouching down with his hands over his head, mumbling confessions.
“I, I don’t know anything, please don’t hit me, I was just called by the boss, told to take the jade Arhats…”
After some questioning, Xu Fei finally understood the guy’s role.
Thinking it over, the jade Arhats from Xu Fei’s home might look like finely crafted, valuable jade carvings to outsiders.
But in reality, each one contained a vast amount of yang energy.
This mystical power didn’t reveal itself easily, yet it was a sharp tool for punishing those with wicked intentions.
That explained why, when the jade Arhats were at home, Lin Qingxue didn’t find them heavy when she moved them, and this timid little employee didn’t either when he took them.
But once they reached Peng Yifeng, the boss of the Hardware Insurance Company, they felt as heavy as Mount Tai, even a crane couldn’t budge them an inch.
The reason was clear, Lin Qingxue had no greed for the jade Arhats, and this lowly transport worker, being too scared to harbor ill thoughts, was fine too, only Peng Yifeng and his crew, coveting their value, ended up in this mess.
Then Xu Fei called Bai Zhan, asking him to notify the local police station to come pick up the culprits, while he casually lifted the safe containing the jade Arhats and left.
Peng Yifeng and his men, sprawled on the ground, were on the verge of tears, watching Xu Fei walk off with the jade Arhats like it was nothing, they realised this ill-gotten wealth was never meant to be theirs.
But regret came too late, within minutes, the blaring sound of police sirens echoed outside the Hardware Insurance Company’s gates.
By then, Xu Fei had returned home with the safe, retrieving the fourth jade Arhat from his car as well, now all four were perfectly stored in the safe.
Originally, Xu Fei had wanted a safe for protection, but after Peng Yifeng’s personal test run, Xu Fei felt even more at ease.
It seemed that no matter who it was, anyone with greedy intentions to claim the jade Arhats for themselves wouldn’t be able to move them an inch.
He shared this good news with his wife, and Lin Qingxue, after hearing it, felt much relieved, though she carried a hint of guilt.
“Sorry, hubby, it’s my fault for not checking those people’s background when I placed the order, otherwise it wouldn’t have gotten so complicated.”
Xu Fei smiled lightly and quickly comforted her, “No worries, honey, it’s like planting a willow by accident and it thriving, if not for your order, I wouldn’t have known these jade Arhats come with their own anti-theft feature!”
Seeing Xu Fei take it so lightly, Lin Qingxue knew her husband wasn’t upset, and she couldn’t help but smile too.
Then, as if something occurred to him, Xu Fei continued, “Oh, right, honey, I feel like our cosmetics company sticking to Jiangbei City doesn’t offer much growth potential, have you ever thought about bigger markets?”
At that, Lin Qingxue immediately sank into serious thought.
Indeed, it wasn’t a question she hadn’t considered, their cosmetics company had become a leading name across Jiangbei City.
It sounded impressive, but compared to the truly major cosmetics companies out there, it was still small potatoes, not even in the same league.
