National development: I build a base on rock beasts

Chapter 60 Goodbye Tang Family Patriarch!

Although the floor of this building is not high, its internal space is not small. Apart from the hall, each floor has more than a dozen rooms.

Duan Ming looked around, and whispered to Bai Xianglu, "You search the rooms on the first floor, and I'll go to the second floor to see if there are any clues about Tang Yaqing."

In this way, the two acted separately.

When we came to the second floor, there were obviously a lot fewer guests here than on the first floor.

Taking advantage of others not paying attention, Duan Ming came to the door of a room. He put his hand on the doorknob and gently twisted it.

"Crack!"

The sound of the door being opened was heard. Just as Duan Ming was about to look in through the crack in the door, someone tapped him on the shoulder behind him!
Duan Ming's body trembled, and he turned his head abruptly. When he saw this person, he really wanted to spit out lotus flowers.

"Boss, I know what happened to the Tang family!"

It was Jiang Yao who startled Duan Ming.

"Boss, do you still remember the superhuman who appeared in the decisive battle with the Yu family?"

Duan Ming was taken aback, and subconsciously asked: "I remember, what's wrong?"

"At that time, the Yu family gave 6000 million star coins, and we used rare metals as a price to get him to stop helping each other. Didn't you say that half of those rare metals were given to the Tang family?"

Hearing Jiang Yao's words, Duan Ming faintly felt something.

"The esper went to the Tang family in person, but the batch of rare metals had already been used by the Tang family, so the Tang family had to use other metals as compensation, and the esper raised the price accordingly. He extorted a lot of money from the Tang family and caused problems in the Tang family's capital chain, so he had to accept the marriage request from the trying family."

That superpower, named Yu Guo, who could devour all energy bodies, was indeed not something the Tang family could contend with.

Speaking of which, Duan Ming did give the Tang family a batch of rare metals, but the Tang family paid for those metals. It caused so much trouble with Tang Yaqing.

It turned out that the instigator of this incident was himself!
"Can you find out where Tang Yaqing is?"

Jiang Yao shook his head and said, "There are hundreds of rooms here, and some of them are still guarded. It's not realistic to search for them one by one."

Duan Ming clenched his fists tightly. Could it be that he just waited until the wedding officially started?
"By the way, boss, I saw the head of the Tang family just now."

Hearing what Jiang Yao said, Duan Ming hurriedly asked, "Where is it?"

Jiang Yao raised his finger and pointed upstairs.

"It's on the third floor, and the heads of many big families are on it."

A thought appeared in Duan Ming's mind.

Take the risk to contact Patriarch Tang?But the risk is too great, not to mention whether Patriarch Tang can recognize him, even if he recognizes him, will he expose his identity in public if he has caused so much trouble for the Tang family?

After weighing for a while, Duan Ming made a decision and walked towards the stairs, Jiang Yao followed closely behind Duan Ming.

Arriving on the third floor, Duan Ming saw a dozen people in the center of the hall from a distance. The youngest among them was over sixty, and they must be heads of various families.

The person standing in the middle should be the head of the Cheng family, and the head of the Tang family is standing next to him, and on the other side is Dugu Er.

Taking a deep breath, Duan Ming walked towards these dozen big guys.

"Patriarch Tang, long time no see!"

Duan Ming didn't choose to test, but went straight to the "topic" as soon as he opened his mouth!
All the Patriarchs looked at Duan Ming and Duan Ming one after another, obviously very curious about Duan Ming's identity.

"We said goodbye three months ago. How are you doing, Master Tang? I have recently acquired a lot of rare metals. I wonder if Master Tang is interested?"

It was really difficult to tell Duan Ming's identity just from his accent, but what Duan Ming said made Patriarch Tang startled.

"It's you? How dare you kid..."

This sentence was said by Tang Chen who was beside Patriarch Tang. He recognized Duan Ming, so how could Patriarch Tang not recognize him?
"Tang Chen! I'm thirsty, go get me a glass of wine."

Before Tang Chen could say the next words, he was interrupted by the head of the Tang family.

Tang Chen was taken aback, then turned to look at his father: "Dad, this kid is Duan..."

"I said I'm thirsty! Go get me a drink!"

After interrupting again, Tang Chen glanced at Duan Ming with a resentful expression, turned around and walked downstairs.

"Old Tang! This is..."

The one who spoke was the head of the Cheng family, Cheng Fei.

Patriarch Tang smiled, walked up to Duan Ming's side, put his hand on Duan Ming's shoulder, and introduced to everyone.

"This is a big customer of my Tang family. The metals he mines are not low in rarity. I did a big deal with him three months ago!"

Patriarch Tang took the initiative to conceal his identity for him, which made Duan Ming heave a sigh of relief, and his next plan could continue.

"Master Tang, can I talk to you alone about business matters?"

Duan Ming's current goal is to find out where Tang Yaqing is. Presumably the head of the Tang family must know about this, but Duan Ming still thinks about this matter too simply.

"Oh? Our Cheng family is also very interested in the rare metal market recently, how about we talk about it together?"

Everyone present is an old fox. The wedding is coming soon. Cheng Fei will do his best to prevent unexpected situations from happening. Duan Ming, who suddenly appears, is obviously suspicious of him.

"Cheng Lang, go and open the reception room on the fourth floor."

After giving an order, Cheng Fei looked at Patriarch Tang, and said again: "Old Tang, you don't want me to be with you, do you?"

Patriarch Tang couldn't bear any emotion on his face, and said with a smile: "If that's the case, let's talk about it together!"

After finishing speaking, Duan Ming followed the two Patriarchs and walked towards the stairs leading to the fourth floor, but before he had gone a few steps, another voice sounded behind him.

"Rare metals? You two old guys don't care that my research institute also gets a share of the pie, right?"

It was none other than Dugu Er who spoke.

As I said before, although the strength of the Dugu family is not comparable to these big families, no one dares not to take their opinions seriously because of their research and development of weapons and equipment.

Cheng Fei smiled: "Second Mister, let's go together."

When he came to the fourth floor, Jiang Yao was stopped by the Cheng family at the stairs.

The layout of the fourth floor is completely different from the three floors below. There is no lobby on the entire fourth floor, only a corridor. There are a total of six rooms on both sides of the corridor. Presumably, the area of ​​each room is extremely large.

When they came to the innermost room, the door had already been opened, and the four of them walked in directly.

Entering the room, the decoration inside can no longer be described as luxurious. It is simply like an emperor's palace!
"Everyone, sit down wherever you want."

After Cheng Fei said something, he sat at the head of the square sofa. The sofas are surrounded by a square shape, and there is exactly one person sitting in one direction, and Duan Ming is sitting opposite Cheng Fei!
