Chapter 98: Missing
I arrived at the flea market before daybreak.
Just as I thought, my cousin came with me.
There were more and more people in the flea market, and it was really difficult to find a suspicious person among so many people, so my cousin came with me, so that one more person would mean one more pair of eyes.
Of course, Dong Jing followed behind.
It was exactly three o'clock when we arrived at the flea market. Stall owners came out to set up their stalls one after another. Their expressions were all natural, not to mention finding a suspicious person among them.
"Can you sense that the Soul-Restoring Pearl is nearby?" my cousin asked me.
He looked around as he walked, looking like an old man who was looking for treasure late at night.
In fact, he is not very old, but he dresses so maturely on purpose so that he can wait until daybreak when more people will gather and it will be convenient for him to chat with others.
"How can I sense the Resurrection Pearl?" I was a little confused.
It was me who used my own blood and essence to nourish the Resurrection Pearl, so it should be able to sense me.
My cousin seemed to know that he had asked a stupid question and didn't say anything else.
After walking around, the sky started to brighten and more and more people came.
The only sounds left in the entire flea market were the stall owners' cries of hawking, mixed in with the sounds of some old men bargaining with the stall owners.
When there were more people, I started to get anxious.
If I can't find the soul-returning pearl, my life will be over.
"Eh? Is it you two?" A voice sounded near us.
I looked back and saw that it was a young man.
But I don't know who he is.
My cousin and I looked at each other in bewilderment.
"You don't recognize me, do you? I was setting up a stall inside, but now I'm setting up outside. Weren't you looking for a black bead? I wanted to tell you the price, but then you were called away by a man."
The young man helped us recall, and then I remembered.
One time, my cousin and I came here and planned to buy the soul-restoring beads.
Later we met Brother Fei on the road. We didn't buy the Soul-Restoring Pearl, but instead helped him deal with some things.
My cousin obviously remembered it and started to greet and chat with the man.
"Is the bead still there?" asked my cousin.
The man smiled and shook his head: "It's long gone. A man bought it and gave me 30,000 yuan at the time."
It's normal that the beads are gone, and I didn't hold out much hope.
"That guy seemed to say that he was going to take it to the Kozan-ji Fair to sell it. I don't know if he sold it. Next time I see him, I will definitely ask him."
???
I was completely stunned. Didn’t I buy that bead later? It turned out that it was the real soul-returning bead!
I was so stupid as to give him one hundred thousand!
After hearing what the man said, my blood pressure rose and my temples throbbed.
There have been so many things going on lately that I can’t take it all in at once.
Dong Jing pulled my sleeve and said, "Forget it, forget it. He offered 500,000 yuan at the time. It's the once-a-year affinity meeting. It's normal to spend a little more money there. It's okay. Our main goal now is to get our things back."
After her reminder, my cousin stopped talking to that man.
"Are you still looking for that bead?" the man asked.
I really didn't have the heart to pay attention to him, so my cousin was the only one who dealt with him.
"Do you know Zhao Dongfang? He is a famous Feng Shui master. He is not only a Feng Shui master, but also has many strange things on hand, which he occasionally sells at the flea market. I don't know if he still has that bead. You can go find him. His price is not high. The bead you liked was given to me by him and asked me to help sell it."
Zhao Dongfang?
I have heard of this man's name. He is quite famous in the Feng Shui world. Most people who want to ask him to look at things not only have to spend a lot of money, but sometimes they can't even get a number.
Let's go find him, this is not very scientific.
"This is my business card, and the other one is the address of Zhao Dongfang's office. My name is Xiao Hei, and you can give him your business card when the time comes. He will make an appointment with you when he sees it. I have introduced many , and they all thanked me later. Don't worry, you can definitely make an appointment."
Xiao Hei grinned at me. I held his business card and had no idea whether what he said was true or not.
Zhao Dongfang is not young anymore. Even if we make friends regardless of age, I can't believe that I can meet Zhao Dongfang by using the name Xiao Hei.
"Go and give it a try. It's free anyway." My cousin whispered in my ear, then smiled and patted Xiao Hei on the shoulder to show his gratitude.
This is the only solution available.
Now the whereabouts of the Soul-Restoring Pearl is unknown, and the most important thing is that I have no way of sensing it. If it weren’t for my cousin who knows how to search souls, we would never be able to find the Soul-Restoring Pearl in this lifetime.
It was already bright by this time, and we planned to eat something and then go to Zhao Dongfang's office.
But at this moment, Young Master Chen called.
We went to the Friendship Meeting before and had no time to deal with the store problem he mentioned.
Now that he's back, we've already accepted the job, so naturally we have to deal with his affairs first.
"Let's find the resurrection bead first." My cousin looked at me a little worriedly.
I shook my head. "It will take a while to find the Soul-Returning Orb. Since you have promised Young Master Chen that you will help him, you and Dong Jing should go. I can go to Zhao Dongfang by myself."
I thought that this city is so big and Zhao Dongfang is just a Feng Shui master who is trying to make money.
At least in this city, he doesn't dare to do anything to me.
Besides, I can just give him money and that’s it. My life is worthless.
My cousin looked at me and finally decided to follow my advice.
After eating and drinking, I found Zhao Dongfang’s office by myself according to the address Xiao Hei gave me.
It was not yet nine o'clock when I arrived at his office, which was located in a building connected to other office buildings.
At this time, there was no one in the entire building, and there was not even any lights.
I stood alone at the door of his office, waiting for him to come to work.
The waiting process was a bit tiring, so I took out my phone and started watching videos.
Actually, there is nothing good to see. It’s just that I have some free time and my mind starts to think about all sorts of things. It feels so uncomfortable.
"Hey, it's coming?"
Suddenly the lights in the whole building were turned on, and I looked up and it was exactly nine o'clock.
The person who spoke was an old man over sixty years old.
I am Zhao Dongfang.
"You knew I was coming?" I looked around the building and there was no one there, so I was sure he was talking to me.
He smiled and said, "I calculated it two days ago. A cursed person came back to find me. But I didn't expect that he would be so young."
I was stunned for a moment. This old man is something.
