At two o'clock in the morning!
As a third-tier city with not very rich nightlife, Baihe City at this time has long been quiet.
Even in the city center, there is only some movement when a car passes by occasionally.
On the outer ring road of Baihe City, it is even quieter.
Even a car may not pass by for ten or twenty minutes.
There is only darkness and silence.
At this time, on the western section of the outer ring road, a figure with a backpack is riding a shared bicycle and speeding along the roadside.
Because Ye Feng is going to dig out the batch of gold buried by Lei Laosan tonight.
For such a thing, the fewer people know about it, the better.
So, for the sake of caution, he didn't even take a taxi. Instead, he rode a shared bicycle and hurried over.
Soon, when he came to a fork in the western section, Ye Feng stopped.
He looked around and, after making sure there was no one around, directly rode the shared bicycle onto the side road. After riding for about two hundred meters, in front of a boundary stone marked with "Hezi Village", he stopped again.
The base of the boundary stone is a stone nearly two meters long and seventy or eighty centimeters wide.
And the boundary stone on it is a stone more than one meter high and thirty or forty centimeters thick, recording the origin of Hezi Village.
This time, Ye Feng didn't change places again. He first hid the shared bicycle in the nearby woods, and then took out a military shovel he bought in the urban area in the afternoon from his backpack and started digging one meter behind the boundary stone of Hezi Village.
At this time, it was deep in the night. There was no one on the western outer ring road, let alone this small side road.
Finally, after struggling for thirty minutes and when he dug more than one meter deep, when Ye Feng shoveled again, there was a "clang" sound from the bottom.
Hearing this sound, Ye Feng was delighted and quickly dug with his hands.
Soon, a tattered cloth bag was dug out by Ye Feng.
And inside this tattered cloth bag were clearly pieces of irregular gold bricks.
Seeing these gold bricks, Ye Feng couldn't help but smile as his mouth curled up.
"Damn it, Lei Laosan, you son of a bitch. You buried it so deep. I almost thought I had dug the wrong place. Fortunately, I persisted."
Saying that, Ye Feng opened the backpack he brought and put all these gold bricks in it.
After finishing these, Ye Feng climbed out of the pit and looked around. Seeing that it was still quiet and no one was there, he directly put on his backpack and rode away.
...
At three o'clock in the morning!
An inconspicuous Didi special car left Baihe City.
And sitting in the back row of the Didi special car was Ye Feng.
Now that Lei Laosan's batch of gold had been obtained, there was no need to stay in Baihe City anymore.
What he had to do next was to cash in the gold.
To complete this step, he had to go to another city.
The reason why he chose a Didi special car was that he was now carrying more than 50 kilograms of gold. No matter by bullet train or airplane, he couldn't pass the security check at all.
...
Two days later!
In Miyang City, more than 1,700 kilometers away from Baihe City, in front of the antique street, a black Volkswagen stopped.
The driver in the driver's seat had bloodshot eyes and looked extremely tired.
After all, no matter who drove for two consecutive days, it wouldn't be easy.
Of course, the reward was also quite considerable.
In addition to the normal fee, Ye Feng also gave him an extra 2,000 yuan as a tip.
It was worth it!
"Brother, we've arrived. Hurry up and get off. I really can't hold on anymore. I have to find a place to sleep well. My butt is almost numb."
Hearing what the driver said, Ye Feng deeply agreed. After all, he had also been in the car for two days.
It was really uncomfortable.
"Okay, driver." Ye Feng opened the car door and got off while smiling. "Then you should quickly find a hotel and have a good sleep."
"Okay. You also take care."
After saying goodbye to each other, the driver stepped on the gas and left directly.
Watching the driver drive away, Ye Feng then turned around and looked at the antique street behind him.
It was already four o'clock in the afternoon. There were not many people in the antique street.
Seeing that it was getting late, Ye Feng didn't delay any longer. Carrying his backpack, he walked in.
As he passed by one stall and store after another, Ye Feng soon came deep into the antique street.
Suddenly, when passing by a store named Wenbao Studio, Ye Feng stopped. He pointed to a painting and said, "Boss, how much is this painting?"
As soon as the store owner saw a customer coming, he hurriedly came over.
Seeing the painting that Ye Feng was pointing at hanging at the door, the store owner immediately made an admiring expression.
"Oh, little brother has a good eye. You actually saw the treasure of this store at a glance. To be honest, this painting is by Zhang Daqian..."
Before the store owner could finish speaking, Ye Feng directly stretched out five fingers and interrupted him.
"500 yuan. Do you sell it?"
"Uh..." The store owner's expression was a bit awkward. He smiled and said, "Add a little more. This is a high imitation with a seal."
"Just 500." Ye Feng said. "If you don't sell it, I'll go to another store to have a look."
Alright!
Seeing that Ye Feng had firmly set the price, the store owner didn't hesitate anymore and simply sold it to him.
After all, there was still some profit at 500 yuan.
After buying this painting, Ye Feng didn't stay any longer. He continued to walk deep into the antique street. Finally, when he came to a store, he stopped again.
This was a store that recycled jewelry, gold, antique calligraphy and paintings. The store was not large.
Moreover, compared with ordinary recycling stores, the decoration of this store was not luxurious at all. In fact, it could be said to be simple.
The only more distinctive feature was the door plaque.
The entire door plaque was pitch black. At the center position, there was a white lotus flower.
If the store name wasn't written on it, ordinary people seeing this door plaque would subconsciously think it was a store selling funeral clothes and coffins.
Ye Feng stood in front of the store and looked up for a while. Then he pushed open the door and walked in.
Inside the quiet store, there was a faint sandalwood fragrance. There was only a middle-aged man in his forties sitting behind the counter.
The man was wearing frameless glasses. He was relatively thin and looked gentle and refined, giving people a very elegant feeling.
Seeing Ye Feng coming in with a backpack, he immediately stood up with a smile on his face.
"Little brother, are you here to buy something or sell something?"
Recycling stores not only recycle but also have sales business for outsiders. However, recycling is the main business.
Ye Feng looked at the middle-aged man and then at the surveillance camera in the store and said.
"Boss, I was introduced by a friend. If it's convenient, can we talk in another place?"
Saying that, Ye Feng directly gestured to the door behind the store owner.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man was first surprised for a moment, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he came out from behind the counter and locked the store door.
After hanging up the sign indicating that the store was closed, the middle-aged man came to Ye Feng and elegantly made an inviting gesture.
He didn't say a word throughout. After making this inviting gesture, the middle-aged man led the way and walked into the door behind the counter first.
And Ye Feng also followed with his bag on his back.
