Chapter 1059: There’s a Mineral Boss in the Illegal Zone Seeing him walk over, Qiao Nian moved aside and said lazily, “I don’t know. You can look for it. If you find it, you can use it. If you don’t, there probably isn’t any.”

It was also her first time staying in the suite of Jin Chen Hotel, so she wasn’t sure if there were any tea leaves.

She saw the coffee powder, but a certain someone liked tea.

“Alright. I’ll look for it.” Gu San was quick. He immediately walked to the counter and opened the cabinet to look for tea.

Seeing that they were all waiting for tea, Qiao Nian slowly walked back with the mineral water. As she unscrewed the cap, she didn’t squeeze with the others. She dragged a chair from the living room and sat down. She then raised her head and took a sip of water before slowly screwing the cap back on.

Luo Qing saw that she had walked back and was sitting not far away from him. His jaw, which was about to drop from shock, finally returned to where it belonged. His scarred face looked rough and fierce, but his sitting posture was tense. He rubbed his hands and was clearly nervous and uneasy when he faced Qiao Nian. “Miss Qiao, if you were coming to the illegal district, why didn’t you tell me in advance? Chen Zhu and I could have gone to the airport to pick you up.”

Ever since Zhou Wei was expelled from the Ninth Branch, the position of the leader of Team 2 had been vacant.

Because Chen Zhu’s performance was good, he managed to take over Zhou Wei’s position. His talent in computer programming was not as great as Zhou Wei’s, but at least he had leadership. He knew how to use people well, and his subordinates had orderly arrangements. Occasionally, when he encountered problems in programming, he would even ask Qiao Nian for help and had always been in contact with her.

Hearing Luo Qing’s question, he immediately echoed with a look of sincere pity. “That’s right, Miss Qiao. Why didn’t you say so in advance?”

When Qin Si heard the two idiots’ words, he clicked his tongue and placed his hand behind his head. He really wanted to complain. Even he had only found out that Qiao Nian was in Jin Chen after bumping into her. The two of them were still expecting to be informed in advance?

“I made the decision at the last minute.” Qiao Nian placed the mineral water on a table at the side. Her expression was calm as she raised her eyes, and her beautiful eyes were relaxed. “I didn’t know you guys were here, either.”

She only knew that Qin Si had said that they would be away for a few days.

He didn’t say that they were coming to the illegal district.

......

Who knew it would be such a coincidence?

They actually bumped into each other.

“About that…” Luo Qing was a straightforward person. Ever since the incident with Zhou Wei at the Ninth Branch, he had long treated Qiao Nian as one of his own. He had no intention of hiding it at all. He went straight to the point. “It’s like this. Master Cheng’s laboratory needs a batch of raw materials. Coincidentally, there’s a big shot in the illegal area that has recently released some rare metals. It includes things that Master Cheng wants.”

When he mentioned that there was a big shot in the illegal area, Qiao Nian’s temple twitched. She pursed her lips and felt a headache coming on. She turned her head and asked him, “What materials do you want to buy?”

“Beryllium, titanium, vanadium, and lanthanum.”

Qiao Nian was silent for two seconds.

Luo Qing thought that she didn’t understand this aspect of things and explained to her in a clear voice, “These are all rare metals. Rare metals are metals that are less commonly found in the earth’s crust and are scattered or difficult to extract from raw materials. This Mineral Boss is quite powerful. ‘He’ has quite a number of resources in this aspect.”

Qiao Nian leaned back in her chair and casually tapped on her phone screen. She didn’t turn it on, as if she was thinking about something.

Seeing that she was distracted, Luo Qing asked curiously, “By the way, Miss Qiao, why did you come to the illegal district?”

This was not a place where ordinary people could come. It was quite dangerous for Miss Qiao to come here alone.
