Ye Feng and the rest were eating when they heard a group of miners chatting behind them.

“Liu Jinya is really too despicable. Old Liao was smashed into bits, and his family was only compensated with 300,000 yuan.”

“Yeah, Old Liao was really miserable. He didn’t even have a complete corpse.”

“They should be satisfied. It’s already good enough to compensate 300,000 yuan. You have only been here for two years, so there are some things you don’t know. Do you know how Liu Jinya dealt with this kind of accident in the past?”

“How did he handle it?”

“About ten years ago, there was a landslide in the mine, killing more than ten people. Liu Jinya was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so he made people bury the bodies on the spot.”

“Then how did he compensate them in the end?”

“Each family was paid 50,000 yuan to keep their mouths shut, and they didn’t even allow the corpses to be taken back.”

“Only fifty thousand? The families of those people agreed?”

“At first, they didn’t agree. Two families even threatened to sue him. However, Liu Jinya’s background was strong, and he dealt with those two families quite miserably. In the end, this matter was left unsettled.”

“F*ck, Liu Jinya is really not human.”

“Sigh, there’s nothing we can do. He does have a strong backing.”

“Shh, lower your voice. Liu Jinya has many lackeys. Don’t let others hear you…”

The group of miners cursed a few more times before eating in silence.

The exploration team also felt that the “Liu Jinya” they were talking about was too inhumane. He simply did not take human lives seriously.

However, they could only be indignant. This kind of thing was not something they could control.

After the meal, the group of people rested for a while before starting work.

They first found the location and then began to lay the cables.

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

After working for a while, everyone’s mouths and noses turned black.

However, compared to the work in the jungle, it was still much better. At least they did not have to worry about wild boars suddenly rushing out.

Ye Feng took advantage of the time when everyone was setting up their equipment and activated the system’s deep scanning. He scanned the distribution of the ground.

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

The system also gave an evaluation of this mineral vein. The final evaluation price was 650 million.

This discovery shocked him.

“Mr. Ye, what did you see this time?” Lan Xingyue could not help much due to her physical condition. She just sat at the side and gave instructions.

At this moment, she saw Ye Feng’s expression was a little strange, so she asked curiously.

“Let this old man calculate.” Ye Feng pretended to count with his fingers.

His half-immortal attitude made the members of the exploration team who were working around him laugh.

“Master Ye, what did you see?” 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. We can dig deeper.” Ye Feng continued to exaggerate.

Everyone laughed again, but they all thought that he was trying to liven up the atmosphere and did not take his words seriously.

Lan Xingyue could not help but shake her head and smile bitterly as she continued to direct everyone’s work.

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

Ye Feng did not disturb her work, instead, he started to observe the surroundings.

Suddenly, he noticed a few people in the distance who had been poking their heads in his direction. Their movements were very suspicious.

When he looked over, a few of them began to pretend to chat again.

The more they acted like this, the more suspicious he became.

He immediately walked towards them.

“Brother, can I borrow a light?”

He took out a packet of Huazi cigarettes from his pocket and gave each of them a cigarette. Finally, he put one in his mouth.

When the few of them saw it was a Huazi cigarette, their eyes lit up immediately. They were unwilling to smoke it right away but clamped it to their ears.

One of them helped him light the cigarette.

Ye Feng took two breaths and asked as if nothing had happened. “Are you all miners of this coal mine?”

“Yes, I am.” One of the men, who looked to be in his fifties, smiled and nodded.

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

“Isn’t it working hours now? What are you doing here instead of going to work?” While Ye Feng asked, he gave each of them another Huazi cigarette.

As the saying goes, the mouth that eats the food of others is softened. Under his attack, the few of them relaxed their guard a little.

“Someone was killed in the mine yesterday. They’re reorganizing it.” The slightly older miner replied with a smile.

“Someone died? Then you must have lost a lot of money, right?” Ye Feng’s face was hidden behind the smoke, no one knew what he was thinking.

“I heard that they lost 300,000 yuan.” The miner continued to answer.

“Three hundred thousand? So little? That’s a human life.”

“300,000 yuan is not a small amount. Other coal mines can’t afford to lose so much. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame that person for being unlucky…”

Under Ye Feng’s probing, he had basically figured out the situation of these people.

On the surface, he didn’t seem to ask anything about the coal mine owner.

However, from their attitude towards the coal mine boss, one could tell their background.

A normal miner would definitely choose to stand on the side of the miner who was smashed to death and scold the boss for being inhumane.

Just like the miners at the next table.

However, the words of these people were biased towards the coal mine owner and even exonerated the coal mine.

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

As for his purpose, that was unknown.

Just as he was about to get more useful information, he heard cheers behind him.

Looking back, he saw the members of the exploration team celebrating.

“Mr. Ye, you’re amazing. You’re right. There’s indeed a gold mine down here…”

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

Immediately, Ye Feng noticed that the miners beside him exchanged a glance before leaving quickly.

It was over. Things might get worse.

“Mr. Ye, your mouth has been blessed, right? We really found a gold mine, and there are quite a lot of gold.”

Lan Xingyue had always been very calm, but at this moment, she could not help but feel a little excited.

It was mainly because Ye Feng’s words were too accurate.

If he said that there were no mineral veins underground, then there were no mineral veins. If he said that there was a gold mine down there, and there was a gold mine down there.

She was starting to believe that there was a scanning machine in his head.

Otherwise, how could he be so accurate?

“I advise you not to be happy too early.” Ye Feng saw that they were getting carried away, he could not help but pour cold water on them.

“What’s wrong?” Lan Xingyue’s smile faded. She didn’t know what he meant.

“Why can’t this be a disaster?” Ye Feng said in a classical language.

Fortunately, Lan Xingyue had been to school before. She could tell that this was a phrase from the classic story, “A Blessing in Disguise.” It meant that this was likely to be a disaster.
