Chapter 1268 - 1268: Overwhelming Information

In the meeting room, who could remain calm at this moment?

Apart from Xiao Feng and Hua Ling, the two market makers, only Pei Dengke and Wei Jianhua could do so.

Pei Dengke, being a member of the Demon Suppression Action Team, was uninterested in these competitions.

As for Wei Jianhua, Xiao Bajia had instructed him to "lead the donkey" after bringing up money, and since everyone here was from a list he provided, he could easily recognize this as a setup.

Nonetheless, even as aware as he was,

he couldn't help but be shocked by the inciting abilities of Xiao Feng's subordinate who shouted "don't go 998!"

Moreover, while it was a setup, the notification wasn't fake.

From this perspective, not only did Xiao Feng have numerous talents but his connections ran deep as well!

"No wonder he refused the Wei Family's help..." Wei Jianhua murmured to himself, feeling he had grasped the truth.

That is—Xiao Feng entirely did not need the Wei Family's help!

Realizing this, Wei Jianhua's respect for Xiao Feng deepened again, while also feeling confident about his secret ailment!

Twenty minutes seemed to have passed in a blink...

Outside Zhonghui Hotel, luxury cars started pulling up.

As drivers got out, they wasted no time grabbing boxes from the trunk and dashed into the hotel.

"Quick... Where's the meeting room?"

"Where is the meeting room? Where is it?"

"Hurry, take me to the meeting room!"

The receptionist couldn't help but be startled seeing this large group rush in.

"You all..."

Once the group reported their names, the receptionist was shocked again.

The lobby manager hurriedly led them to the meeting room, dropped off the items, and quickly exited.

With a calm tone, Xiao Feng said, "I'll have these items assessed by specialists, and the list will be announced in ten minutes.

Items not earning a spot will be returned to each of you."

After speaking, he signaled Hua Ling to start moving the items out.

As soon as they stepped out, the elderly group waiting outside gathered around to inquire.

"Everything's fine now?"

"If everything's okay, can we leave?"

"Can we go inside now?"

Raising his voice, Xiao Feng commanded, "All of you shut up!

What's the fuss?

Stand quietly outside, you'll be notified once the investigation ends!"

The elderly group nodded repeatedly, standing in a line against the wall, heads lowered like misbehaving schoolchildren.

After going in and out three times, all items were finally moved out.

In the hotel room, looking at Xiao Feng, who donned a blue mover's uniform and a changed mask, Hua Ling seriously said, "We agreed on splitting fifty-fifty; don't secretly take extra items."

"Pah!" Xiao Feng immediately retorted displeased, "How could you say that? If it weren't for me, all you'd have are those broken watches. Even if I take a few, wouldn't that be deserved?"

"How can you be like this?" Hua Ling was equally displeased, "We agreed on splitting everything evenly; why are you going back on your word?"

"Alright, alright, let's not waste more time. Hurry up, change clothes, masks, and let's move the items!"

Hua Ling opened her mouth, but eventually just nodded, also changing into a mover's outfit and mask, hauling a giant wooden box double her size, heading downstairs...

Meanwhile, two investigators in the next room woke up from their sleep.

"It's 8:40, we only have twenty minutes before going downstairs to question those rich kids, hurry up and wash up."

"Waited half the night, and didn't hear a peep from Brother Shan; could it be we overthought this?"

"Maybe the hotel room doors are too soundproof; even if there was noise, we wouldn't hear it outside."

"Hmm, makes sense, let's check their state later and we'll know."

Once cleaned up, the two investigators went next door to knock on Gong Kaishan and Qian Shaoyuan's room.

"Knock knock knock!"

Soon, the door opened.

Inside stood Gong Kaishan, clutching his waist and yawning, "How did you sleep last night?"

However, the two outside stared at him, seemingly discovering something significant.

Gong Kaishan grumbled, "Did you two get possessed?

Or slept so much you went deaf?"

"No, we slept fine, but Brother Shan, what's up with you?"

"Ugh, don't bring it up!" Gong Kaishan said unhappily, "This lousy bed is so soft; woke up sore all over."

"Are you sure it's the bed's fault?"

Gong Kaishan immediately frowned, "What do you mean, and why are you looking at me like that?"

As he spoke, Qian Shaoyuan emerged from the bathroom, his upper body hunched over, unable to straighten.

"What's wrong, Xiao Yuan?" asked one investigator.

A pained expression crossed Qian Shaoyuan's face, "Nothing, just a bit of pain in the rear."

The other investigator was dumbfounded and curiously asked, "With such a soft mattress, how can your rear hurt?"

"It's all Brother Shan's doing!" Qian Shaoyuan glared at Gong Kaishan, eyes full of resentment.

Gong Kaishan scratched his head and apologized with a smile, "Sorry, it wasn't intentional."

This brief conversation sounded like tons of information to the investigators' ears.

Making them dizzy with the sheer amount of info, requiring time to process.

What they didn't know was Qian Shaoyuan's soreness was because Gong Kaishan kicked him off the bed last night...

At that moment, Hua Ling's voice appeared at the door, "Why's everyone dawdling, we agreed on nine o'clock, hurry up to the meeting room!"

Gong Kaishan and Qian Shaoyuan rushed without further washing up, and the four headed quickly to the meeting room.

The elderly group, standing punished against the wall, saw the group of five entering the meeting room; dared not say anything or ask, obedient like children in their later years.

The wealthy young men, full of anticipation, saw Hua Ling entering, their eyes lit up, unable to look away!

This was because the previous freckled lady who thought she was pretty was too unattractive, and with Hua Ling being naturally beautiful, her entrance stunned these wealthy youths!

Hua Ling stepped onto the platform, spoke into the microphone, "You all are punctual, time is precious, and not to waste any, I'll get straight to the point."

The rich youths nodded repeatedly, eyes full of anticipation hearing her sweet voice.

But then Hua Ling said, "Today, I gathered you all to investigate the serious injury of Qi Guanghe. Everyone present has had some disagreements with him, more or less, whether deep or shallow. I'll call names next. Those mentioned will be questioned outside. If suspicions are cleared, you may leave directly."

The wealthy youths exchanged glances in disbelief; was this another round of extortion?

After a moment, someone raised their hand, "Have we not been questioned already?"

"Already questioned?" Hua Ling frowned, "Impossible! I just arrived; how could anyone have asked?"

Instantly, the entire room was shocked!
