In Panjiayuan, the first thing they did was trick Lao Hu into going tomb raiding.

Therefore, Su Mo contacted Yin Nanfeng directly.

The call was answered very quickly!

"Master Su?"

Yin Nanfeng's voice is soothing, instantly making people feel good about her.

Su Mo was acquainted with the former head of the Yin family and could be considered Yin Nanfeng's elder.

Therefore, Su Mo didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

"South wind..."

Su Mo said, "I saw that the Crescent Moon Hotel is auctioning a Warring States period square seal tomorrow. I really like it..."

"How about this, you have the auctioneer estimate the price, how much it costs, and I'll have someone send it to you later..."

"Don't worry, I guarantee you... won't let the Crescent Hotel suffer any losses!"

Su Mo has worked hard for half his life, and for him now, money is just a long string of numbers.

Even if I collect antiques, it's just out of interest!

Yin Nanfeng laughed, "Master Su, look at what you're saying. Of course I trust your reputation... but..."

Yin Nanfeng paused.

The word "but" is always a concern, and Su Mo immediately frowned. "Is there a problem?"

Yin Nanfeng pondered for a moment and said, "As far as I know, this Ghost Seal was previously in the hands of Huo Xiangu of the Nine Gates..."

“I even spoke with Huo Xiuxiu on the phone yesterday. She said that Old Madam Huo had already given the ghost seal to someone else, and the old lady no longer cares about its whereabouts…”

"The person who actually put the seal up for auction at the New Moon Hotel was a Chinese man from Japan!"

"My Crescent Moon Hotel originally intended to offer a high price to acquire this seal, but the man absolutely refused, insisting on auctioning it at the auction house, where the highest bidder would purchase it!"

"..."

Su Mo said, "Chinese from Ying? A little Japanese from the island of Japan?"

Yin Nanfeng said, "It shouldn't be. The accent doesn't sound like it to me. It sounds more like a native of Yanjing!"

"All right…"

Su Mo sighed, "Since the buyer insists, I will personally go to the Crescent Hotel tomorrow..."

"Row!"

Yin Nanfeng smiled and said, "We eagerly await Master Su's arrival..."

Su Mo said, "It's not really an honor for you to come, I just haven't seen Zhang Rishan in a long time, so I thought I'd check if that guy was dead or not..."

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while longer.

A few minutes later, Su Mo hung up the phone and looked at Zhang Qiling, "Come with me to the New Moon Hotel tomorrow?"

Zhang Qiling remained expressionless. "Alright!"

Just then, the chef pushed a food cart over. "Master Su, your food is here..."

Su Mo pointed at Zhang Qiling, the young man, "Give it to him...give it all to him!"

Zhang Qiling didn't stand on ceremony. He went to the food cart, opened his lunchbox, and began to wolf down his food.

.........

the next day.

Crescent Hotel.

Guests arrived, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.

Everyone who came was a big shot in the antique trade in Yanjing.

Su Mo kept a low profile, leading Zhang Qiling through the back door of the New Moon Hotel, without having much contact with the wealthy businessmen at the front desk.

After all, it was just an antique to be auctioned, and Su Mo didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble.

Upon hearing that Su Mo had arrived at the New Moon Hotel, Zhang Rishan couldn't sit still any longer and personally went to Su Mo's private room.

"You never come to my turf without a reason, so what brings you here today...?"

Zhang Rishan was about to confront Su Mo, but when he saw Zhang Qiling standing next to Su Mo, he suddenly fell silent.

Zhang Rishan: "Zhang Qiling...Clan...Clan Chief!"

Zhang Rishan stammered, momentarily at a loss for words as to how to address the young man before him.

As an old monster who had lived for over a hundred years and a confidant of Zhang Dafoye, Zhang Rishan's life was legendary, but at this moment he was more flustered than ever before.

In contrast, Zhang Qiling remained calm. After exchanging a glance with Zhang Rishan, he shifted his gaze elsewhere.

This disregard deeply distressed Zhang Rishan. "Clan leader... back then... even Buddha's actions were out of necessity..."

Zhang Qiling shook his head, "There's no need to bring up what happened back then!"

"..."

Zhang Rishan remained silent, and the atmosphere in the private room suddenly turned cold.

"Brother!"

"Zhang the Mute!"

Just then, two familiar voices suddenly rang out outside the Crescent Hotel.

Zhang Qiling was taken aback. "It's Wu Xie and Wang Yueban..."

Aren't these two clowns in Hangzhou?

Su Mo stepped out of the private room and looked down at the door.

Wu Xie and Wang Yueban, these two unfortunate brothers, were being blocked outside the door by the stick-wielding servants of the New Moon Hotel.

Wang Yueban was furious. Pointing at the leader of the thugs, he cursed, "You dog who relies on his master's power, you've got yourself into trouble today. Do you know who we are?"

"Wu Xie, Wu Laogou's grandson, the famous Third Master of the Wu family!"

"And me, Fatty, don't you even know who my master is? The answer will scare you to death..."

Yin Nanfeng also came out, dressed in a stylish and cool black business suit. "Fatty Wang, don't go too far. If it weren't for the sake of Master Su and Master Hu, I would have thrown you out already..."

"Whoa!"

Wang Yue leered at Yin Nanfeng, "Miss Yin, you've become even more beautiful..."

"you…"

Yin Nanfeng glared at Wang Yueban through gritted teeth.

Wang Yueban acted as if he had nothing to lose, saying, "Miss Yin, the New Moon Hotel is a business. Why are you telling us not to come in?"

Even if we don't bring it up, the mere mention of it makes Yin Nanfeng furious. "Back then, because of the Snake-Eyed Bronze Fish incident, you lit sky lanterns at the New Moon Hotel, and my New Moon Hotel has never received any payment for that..."

Wang Yueban and Wu Xie exchanged a glance, and Wang Yueban said, "Back then, Master Su..."

Yin Nanfeng laughed angrily, "When Master Su helped you out of trouble, he didn't say he'd pay for it..."

"If you don't believe me, Master Su is upstairs. I'll take you to talk to him face to face..."

Wu Xie and Wang Yueban subconsciously looked up, only to see Su Mo upstairs looking at them with a half-smile.

Wang Yueban scratched his head awkwardly, "Master Su!"

"boom!"

A deafening explosion erupted from inside the Crescent Hotel.

Chapter 405: The Crescent Hotel Bombing

boom!"

A deafening explosion erupted inside the Crescent Hotel, and a dazzling burst of fire shot straight into the sky.

"Ah... Help..."

Inside the Crescent Moon Hotel, a bloodcurdling scream rang out, followed by a flurry of hurried footsteps.

"Run!"

Someone shouted something first, and everyone immediately started running outside.

"Boom!"

Another loud explosion rang out.

"Help! Someone, please help!"

Screams and gasps echoed from the crowd, a mix of screams and painful wails.

"What happened?"

"What happened?"

In an instant, the people in the Crescent Hotel fled the hotel in a panic.

Yin Nanfeng's expression changed drastically as he stared in shock at the scene.

explosion!

Someone actually planted a bomb at the Crescent Hotel!

That's incredibly audacious!

Zhang Rishan, standing next to Su Mo, also had an extremely gloomy expression.

Ever since Zhang Dafoye and Yin Xinyue got married, the Xinyue Hotel has become a symbol of the Nine Gates in Yanjing. Openly causing an explosion at the Xinyue Hotel is undoubtedly another blatant slap in the face to the Nine Gates.

Thick smoke billowed from the Crescent Hotel, and the massive shockwave caused the entire hotel to shake violently.

"Walk…"

Su Mo dared not be careless. After calling out to Zhang Qiling, he leaped down from the second floor using his light-footed skill.

Wu Xie and Wang Yueban were stunned and stared blankly at the scene.
