Chapter 1431 [1431] Discovery of Gold Mine

Ye Feng and his group were having dinner when they heard the miners at a table behind them starting to chat.

"Liu Jinya is such a jerk. Old Liao was beaten to a pulp, but he only paid him 300,000 yuan in compensation."

"Yeah, Lao Liao was really miserable. Not even a complete body was left."

"Be content. Three hundred thousand is good enough. You have only been here for two years, so there are some things you don't know. Do you know how Liu Jinya handled this kind of accident in the past?"

"How to deal with it?"

"About a dozen years ago, a landslide occurred in the mine, killing more than a dozen people. Liu Jinya was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so he had them buried on the spot."

"So how was the compensation finally paid?"

"Each family paid 50,000 yuan to keep quiet, but they wouldn't even let us take the body back."

"Only 50,000 yuan? Did the families of those people agree to it?"

"At first, no one agreed. One family even threatened to sue him. But Liu Jinya had a strong background and dealt a heavy blow to the two families. In the end, the matter was dropped."

"Damn, Liu Jinya is really not a human being."

"Alas, there is nothing I can do. It's because his back is so hard."

"Shh, keep your voice down. Liu Jinya has many lackeys. Don't let anyone hear you..."

The group of miners cursed a few more times, then started eating in silence.

The members of the exploration team also felt that the "Liu Jin Ya" they were talking about was too inhumane and did not take human life seriously.

However, they could only express their indignation; this kind of thing was not something they could control.

After finishing their meal, the group rested for a while and then started working.

First find the site, then start laying the cable.

Perhaps because there is a coal mine nearby, the air quality is not very good and black dust is floating in the air.

After working for a while, everyone's mouths and noses became black.

However, compared to working in the dense forest, it is still much better. At least there is no need to worry about wild boars suddenly rushing out.

While everyone was setting up the equipment, Ye Feng started the system's deep scan and scanned the distribution of the strata.

Then I was surprised to find that there was indeed a gold mine in this area, and the reserves were not small.

The system also gave an assessment of this mineral vein, and the final assessment price was 6.5 million.

This discovery immediately surprised him.

"Mr. Ye, what have you figured out?" Lan Xingyue couldn't help much due to her physical condition, so she just sat aside and gave orders.

Seeing that Ye Feng's expression was a little abnormal, he asked curiously.

"Let me calculate it." Ye Feng pretended to count with his fingers.

His semi-immortal deity made the exploration team members working around him burst into laughter.

"Master Ye, what did you figure out?" Lan Xingyue was also amused by his pretentious attitude and made a rare joke.

"According to my estimation, there is indeed a large amount of gold ore stored here, and we can dig deeper." Ye Feng continued to speak in exaggerated words.

Everyone laughed again, but they all thought he was just trying to liven up the atmosphere and didn't take his words seriously.

Lan Xingyue couldn't help but shake her head and smile bitterly, continuing to direct everyone's work.

After laying the cables and burying the electrodes, Lan Xingyue began to observe the distribution of underground mineral veins with a notebook.

Ye Feng did not disturb her work, but looked around.

Suddenly, he noticed a few people in the distance who were looking over here, and their behavior was very suspicious.

When he looked over, those people started chatting again in a pretentious manner.

The more they did this, the more suspicious he became.

He immediately walked towards those people.

"Brother, can you lend me a light?" He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, gave one to each person, and finally put one in his mouth.

When several people saw Huazi, their eyes suddenly lit up. They were reluctant to smoke him, so they clamped him on their ears.

One of them helped him light the fire.

Ye Feng took two puffs, then asked nonchalantly, "Are you all miners in this coal mine?"

"Yes." One of the men, who was about fifty years old, smiled and nodded.

But Ye Feng could clearly sense that behind their smiles, there was a hint of vigilance.

"Isn't it working time now? What are you doing here if you're not going to work?" Ye Feng asked while handing each of them a cigarette.

As the saying goes, one who takes favors from others should be held responsible. Under Huazi's attack, the guard of several people relaxed a little.

"Someone was killed in the mine yesterday, and we're currently cleaning it up," the slightly older miner responded with a smile.

"Someone was killed? That must mean a lot of money has to be paid in compensation, right?" Ye Feng's face was hidden behind the smoke and no one knew what he was thinking.

"I heard that the loss was three hundred thousand dollars." The miner continued to answer.

"Three hundred thousand? So little? That's a human life."

"Three hundred thousand is not a small amount. Other coal mines can't pay that much. The only thing to blame is that guy's bad luck..."

After Ye Feng's probing, he had basically figured out the strengths and weaknesses of this group of people.

Although on the surface, he didn't ask a single question about the coal mine owner.

But from their attitude towards the coal boss, we can tell their true colors.

If a normal miner encountered such a thing, he would definitely choose to stand on the side of the miner who was crushed to death and curse the boss for being a villain.

Just like those miners at the next table during dinner.

But these people sided with the coal mine owner in their words and even made excuses for the coal mine.

This immediately made him conclude that these people were probably sent by the coal boss "Liu Jinya".

As for the purpose, it is unknown.

He was just about to get some more useful information when he suddenly heard cheers from behind him.

Looking back, I saw that the members of the exploration team were celebrating enthusiastically.

"Mr. Ye, you are amazing. You really got it right. There really is a gold mine underneath..."

One member of the exploration team was probably too happy and actually started shouting.

Then, Ye Feng noticed that several miners nearby exchanged glances with each other and then left quickly.

It's over, things might get bad.

……

"Mr. Ye, have you ever been blessed? We have actually detected a gold mine, and the reserves are quite large."

Lan Xingyue has always been very calm, but at this moment she couldn't help but feel a little excited.

The main reason is that Ye Feng’s words are so effective.

He said there were no mineral veins underground, and there really were no mineral veins. He said there were gold mines underground, and gold mines were actually found underground.

She now even began to believe that there really was a scanning machine installed in his brain.

Otherwise, how could it be calculated so accurately?

"I advise you not to be happy too soon." Seeing that they were a little too proud of themselves, Ye Feng couldn't help but pour cold water on them.

"What's wrong?" Lan Xingyue's smile faded, not knowing what he meant.

"Why can't this cause harm?" Ye Feng quoted a sentence in classical Chinese.

Fortunately, Lan Xingyue had been to school and recognized that this was a line from "A Blessing in Disguise", meaning that this was likely to be a disaster.
