The Luohan Slope is several dozen miles away from Gubei Town.
However, Chen Zao's pace was quick.
Traveling through the night, Chen Zao hurried back to Gubei Town.
When he returned to the Zao Meat Sandwich Shop on the food street, it was already past three in the morning.
Jindeli was sound asleep inside.
Chen Zao took a glance into Jindeli's room and saw that he wasn't disturbed by the smell, so he didn't wake him up.
Returning to his own room, he changed out of his foul-smelling clothes and replaced the waterproof bandage on his Right Arm. After that, he took a shower.
Coming out of the bathroom, Chen Zao felt refreshed.
But after moving around a bit and breaking a sweat, he became smelly again.
He wondered how much of that foul odor still lingered in his flesh waiting to be evaporated.
In any case, at this stage, he was still sweating profusely with that terrible smell.
This kind of stinky sweat made him reluctant to get close to women for fear of being repulsive.
In fact, even he found the smell somewhat disgusting.
But there was no way around it; this was a necessary path to becoming stronger.
No matter how disgusting it was, he had to endure it.
Once he reached the Intermediate Warrior stage in the future, he wouldn't smell so bad anymore.
The journey back from Luohan Slope to Gubei Town truly exhausted Chen Zao.
He had originally planned to take a shower and go straight to bed.
However, lying in bed, he felt overly excited and couldn't fall asleep no matter what.
"Snap."
He turned on the lights in the room.
He rolled over, got out of bed, and locked the bedroom door.
Then he drew all the curtains shut.
He cleared a space on the table.
Chen Zao took out the Five Dragons Seizing the Pearl Shoushan Stone Carving from his storage space to appreciate it properly.
The dust and grease on the stone carving hadn't been wiped off yet, making it look dirty and lacking any luster.
Chen Zao didn't know how to maintain this kind of stone carving.
Using a powerful cleaning agent meant for kitchen use, Chen Zao directly dampened it to wipe the Stone Carving.
Fortunately, this Stone Carving has strong corrosion resistance and was not damaged by Chen Zao's cleaning.
The material of this Stone Carving is Cinnabar Red High Mountain Sandstone, also known as High Mountain Dove Eye Sandstone, which is a type of Shoushan Stone and is very precious.
Its texture is slightly brittle yet firm, and it is translucent throughout. The body is a deep red color, speckled with various shades of red spots, occasionally revealing golden flecks that shimmer beautifully, exuding an air of luxury.
In less than ten minutes, Chen Zao had cleaned this one-meter-tall Stone Carving.
Once the original blood-red cinnabar color was revealed, the Aura of the Stone Carving immediately surged forth.
Five fierce Dragons vividly encircle an Orb, appearing lifelike as they compete for it, their expressions exquisitely captured with remarkable craftsmanship!
Unfortunately, during the disaster period, this Stone Carving was not completely preserved; the dragon horns of the two dragons in the upper left and upper right corners were chipped off.
The sturdy base has one corner that is cracked.
Aside from these noticeable damages, there are also some subtle cracks in the carving itself, but these are not significant issues.
Just this solid and heavy piece of high mountain stone would be worth several million, right?
At least that's what Chen Zao thought.
He had previously sold gold worth 10,000 yuan and had enjoyed himself for quite a while.
Facing such a valuable piece of art, Chen Zao couldn't sleep well from excitement.
He took a closer look at the Stone Carving that Big Crab was so proud of.
Chen Zao noticed a coincidence.
No wonder Ren Changdong felt that this Stone Carving would bring trouble to the Ren Family.
The five dragons coiled in this Stone Carving were positioned similarly to the Wuzhai area around Panlong Stronghold, giving off a vibe of coveting the central authority of Panglong Stronghold.
If Chief Lei Dongshan, known for his temper, saw this Stone Carving, he would surely transform into the "Coiling Dragon Giant" and smash both the Stone Carving and its owner into a pulp with his massive fists.
"I wonder how Big Crab will react when he sees this Stone Carving. Damn it, I need to take advantage of him this time and make him pay for being so ungrateful!"
It was clear that Chen Zao held some resentment towards Big Crab.
Not only Chen Zao, but many children from Gubei Welfare Institute also disliked Big Crab.
Big Crab, whose real name is Pang Xin, is thirty-eight years old.
He is one of the wealthiest individuals in Gubei Town, with a net worth of at least 500 million.
All the karaoke bars, KTVs, and bathing centers on the ground in Gubei are owned by Big Crab.
The largest hotel in Gubei Town, Northern Cuisine House, is also run by Big Crab.
However, these are just his side businesses; his main ventures are the Coal Mine and Coal Washing Plant in Shanbei.
When he was young, he capitalized on the booming coal industry and made a fortune mining in Shanbei.
He exited at the right time.
Transforming himself, he became a billionaire.
Currently, he still holds some shares in the mines in Shanbei, but he no longer manages mining operations. Instead, he spends his time enjoying life in Gubei Town and Chang'an City, living freely as a typical Tycoon.
Generally, successful individuals often donate or establish scholarships to give back to their alma mater after achieving success.
Big Crab is no exception; he has also contributed to welfare institutions.
In previous years, he would donate 10,000 yuan annually to the welfare institution and prioritize hiring children from Gubei Welfare Institute at his venues and restaurants.
However, four years ago, something changed. Big Crab suddenly severed ties with the welfare institution, stopped funding it, and ceased prioritizing the hiring of children from Gubei Welfare Institute. He even fired many disobedient children from Gubei Faction from his company.
This caused him to be widely disliked.
Chen Zao was one of those who left Big Crab's company during that time, choosing not to associate with that group anymore.
Chen Zao's firm decision to leave Big Crab's gang stemmed from his realization that Big Crab's previous contributions to the welfare institution were not out of goodwill but rather because he had his eyes on the land near Film and Television City and Qin Feng Scenic Area!
Big Crab wanted to spend money to relocate the welfare institute to another city, securing that piece of land to open a garden within Film and Television City.
Unfortunately, this matter was continuously suppressed by the director of the welfare institute and the leaders of the Civil Affairs Department in the town. No matter how Big Crab tried to smooth things over, he couldn't resolve it, and after pretending to be a good person for several years, he was truly infuriated.
In the end, seeing that nothing could be done, Big Crab severed ties with the welfare institute and stopped pretending to be nice.
He even publicly stated in front of many people that he would build a chemical factory next to the welfare institute!
Let the children of the welfare institute breathe toxic gas and drink poisoned water; let’s see who would dare to run a welfare institute here!
Although his intention to open a chemical factory was just a fit of anger and he never truly intended to do so, he merely wanted to disgust the welfare institute.
However, this venomous heart of his, like that of a scorpion, hurt everyone who came from the welfare institute.
Since then, Chen Zao no longer regarded Big Crab as a respected elder brother but vowed to trample him underfoot! He wanted to kick him back to the welfare institute and show him how the children there grew up in harsh conditions!
Let’s not forget that they were raised on bowls of porridge and warm meals donated by kind-hearted people from all over.
To gain fish but forget the net, to achieve success but forget the words!
A scoundrel like Big Crab, who forgets his roots, betrays those who helped him, and shows no gratitude, deserves to spit out every morsel of food he ate from the welfare institute!
This time, having obtained the Five Dragons Seizing the Pearl Stone Carving, Chen Zao was determined to take a heavy toll on Big Crab, making him truly pay back for all those years nurtured by Gubei Welfare Institute.
