Chapter 475: Something Big Has Happened

Zheng, with resources as scarce as those in Nanhu Lake, how did your Zheng family establish themselves here and cultivate I hear that Master Zheng has absorbed the entirety of the city's fortune to fu...Now the entire mountain town has an immigrant population that is several times larger than its original residents, and there are many mines of various sizes all over the mountains.

In the mountain city, there are mostly hotels and bars, these entertainment venues. Those who can afford to play with raw stones are big bosses, so they are not afraid to spend money!

Wu Dong drove directly to a restaurant, stopping at the entrance: "Mr. Chen, you must be hungry too. Let's have some food first and then go back to the hotel to rest!"

Chen Ping nodded and got out of the car with Wu Dong!

The restaurant isn't very big, but the storefront decoration is very good, with an antique and elegant feel. Above it, a large sign reads "Lu Cuisine Restaurant!"

"Mr. Chen, don't let the size of this restaurant fool you, it's the hottest place in town! Lots of people come here to eat, even the famous star Song Tie, whenever he comes back to Shancheng, he eats here!"

Wǔ Dōng took Chén Píng along as he walked and introduced things.

Walking into the restaurant, Wu Dong wanted to find a private room. Chen Ping stopped him, saying that since there were only two of them, they could just eat at any available table and didn't need to bother finding a private room!

Finding a rather secluded spot, Wu Dong specially ordered several signature dishes from the restaurant!

While waiting for their food, Chen Ping casually glanced at the diners in the restaurant and was surprised to find several masters of the Grandmaster level!

If there were so many master martial artists at the Martial Arts Gathering in Tianfeng Town, it wouldn't be surprising, but how could there be so many masters in this mountain city

"It's strange, even when I was busy before, I hadn't seen so many people. During the few days I was in the mountain city, I kept seeing several groups of strangers going up the mountain. It seems that more and more people are playing with gambling stones!"

Wu Dong saw Chen Ping glance at the people in the restaurant, and he hurriedly explained.

However, Chen Ping looked at these people and they didn't seem like gamblers. He saw that they were all in groups of three or five, not saying a word to each other, only bowing their heads to eat, as if they were all preoccupied!

"Can jade from Mount Hengshan be mined freely"

Chen Ping asked Wu Dong.

“That's not true at all. If we were to mine indiscriminately, it would be chaotic! Nobody cared before, but now the whole area is dominated by Feng, Song, and Liu families, who control the largest ore mining caves. Other smaller mines that they deem insignificant are exploited by others. Pei Lao was cheated by Feng, one of those involved. His mine is in the southeast direction, closest to the mountaintop!”

Wu Dong pointed through the window toward Mount Heng, which was just within reach.

"Oh!" Chen Ping nodded.

Soon, the dishes arrived. Chen Ping suddenly stopped the waiter who was serving the food and said, “Dude, can I ask you something Did something big happen in Shanshan City Why do I feel like everyone is in a hurry”

Chen Ping always felt something was wrong. With so many masters at the Grandmaster level appearing here, something must have happened or was about to happen!

"What's the matter I'm just a waiter, I don't know anything!"

The waiter shook his head, but his eyes darted around a bit, clearly knowing something!

"Guys, we're just visitors from out of town. We were just curious and didn't mean any harm!"

Chen Ping said, taking out a stack of banknotes and stuffing them into the waiter's pocket. That stack of money was worth several thousand yuan!

I saw the waiter glance around, hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Let me tell you, another vein of ore has been discovered on Mount Heng. They say it's full of gems. The Song family, Feng family, and Liu family are all raising troops and buying horses now. It seems they're going to fight over the newly discovered ore vein. Shancheng is probably going to be in chaos soon. I only heard this by chance in a private room. Please don't tell anyone I told you!"

The waiter spoke and then hurried away!

"A new ore vein" Wu Dong was taken aback. "I've been here for days, how come I haven't heard about it"before..."Xing Jun waved his fists twice and said."What are you doing here so late"Chen Ping asked."Of course I'm here to see you. Mr. Shi knows you're back and has specially arranged a banquet to inv...
