"Ha ha... Miss Chen, let me ask you a question. If you encounter a dog barking at you on the street, would you have the urge to bite it back?" Lin Feng seemed to ignore Qian Dashao's warning and instead asked Chen Xinni beside him.
"Um... I wouldn't," Chen Xinni clearly didn't expect Lin Feng to bring up such an unrelated topic, but she instinctively answered.
"That's right, Qian Dazongzi, feel free!" Lin Feng said with great seriousness, his voice loud enough for everyone to hear, as his intention was obvious—he wanted everyone to listen.
"You..." Qian Dazongzi finally realized that Lin Feng was treating him like a dog and was mocking him in front of the woman he had been pursuing. He was extremely angry but could only point at Lin Feng without being able to speak.
Could he really let the dignified Qian Dazongzi tell Lin Feng that he wasn't a dog? That would only make it clear that he was taking it personally.
The others also began to react, their gazes towards Lin Feng changing. This kid had some guts to openly insult Qian Dazongzi as a dog. To be honest, no one here had any good feelings towards Qian Liexian or Qian Dazongzi, but they were aware of the power dynamics and didn't want to offend someone as petty as Qian Dashao. As a result, some people were already starting to feel sorry for Lin Feng; offending Qian Liexian could lead to serious consequences.
However, Lin Feng clearly had no such awareness. He grabbed Dong Jie and left to look at Rough Stones elsewhere. As for what Chen Sheng and his daughter intended to do or what their attitude was—Lin Feng couldn't guess. Of course, regardless of their attitude, he wouldn't care.
If they were indeed worthy friends, Lin Feng would befriend them; if not, he would repay Chen Sheng's kindness from last night and then part ways.
Lin Feng needed friends, but only those he found agreeable could qualify as his friends. So far, he had considered Chen Sheng and his daughter as friends, though that might change starting today.
"Hmph..." Chen Xinni saw Lin Feng and Dong Jie walking away, deliberately leaving her behind. She understood Lin Feng's intention and huffed at Qian Liexian before walking towards Lin Feng.
"Sigh... this child. Qian Gongzi, I'll go take a look; I won't disturb you." Seeing the situation unfold and his daughter leaving, Chen Sheng naturally spoke before departing. Although his words sounded polite, anyone with ears could tell what he meant.
Chen Sheng had a very poor impression of Qian Liexian. This person relied on his background and had done many bad things. Surprisingly, he had even won against him in gambling a few times, which led him to self-proclaim as the "Little Gambling King," becoming even more arrogant. Most importantly, this kid actually wanted to pursue his precious daughter. If it were an ordinary rich second generation, Chen Sheng would have slapped him long ago—did he think he was worthy?
However, due to this guy's background, Chen Sheng could only deal with him perfunctorily. After all, his ancestors were big shots in the jade industry—not someone of Chen Sheng's level could contend with.
Moreover, since the adults hadn't intervened themselves, it wouldn't be appropriate for him to step in either; he could only let Chen Xinni play the villain while he took on the role of the good cop without letting this guy succeed.
Now that he thought about it, Chen Sheng felt that Xinni might be resisting coming to City A because of this guy.
Seeing that Chen Sheng had also left, Qian Liexian felt frustrated with nowhere to vent his anger. He looked at Bai Laosan beside him who still wore a smile but didn't give him a good expression in return. With a wave of his hand, he turned back to those Rough Stones; after all, Qian Dazongzi had come today to see if there were any Rough Stones worth betting on and naturally wanted to stay and see if he could regain some face.
"White Boss, here—this one, this one, and this one... I'll take these few pieces." Not long after Lin Feng left, he continued the actions interrupted by that annoying gigolo earlier and said to Bai Laosan.
"Brother, sure! You seem like an open-minded person. So how will you pay? Card or cash?" Bai Laosan noticed that Lin Feng was also a young man with money; these few Rough Stones added up to five million altogether—a small fortune indeed.
"Lin Feng..." Dong Jie saw Lin Feng buy five Rough Stones at once and came over to shake his hand, looking at him with concern. It was clear she was worried that Lin Feng was betting too much and might lose.
Lin Feng understood Dong Jie's meaning, but he couldn't delay the purchase any longer. He wasn't sure if there were any skilled players around, and if he spotted a Rough Stone that could yield good jade but someone else bought it first, he would definitely feel frustrated.
If he hadn't seen it, it would be one thing, but knowing what was inside and missing out just because he hesitated would be a real pity.
Therefore, to avoid such a situation, Lin Feng had to act decisively.
So, in response to Dong Jie's worried gaze, Lin Feng simply squeezed her hand and smiled, reassuring her not to worry.
"This totals five million and one hundred thousand. I'll waive the cents for you; let's make it a round five million. Brother Lin Feng, will you be paying by card or cash?" Bai Laosan asked at that moment.
"I'll pay in cash. Uncle Chen, I left the money in your car; can you give me the keys?" Lin Feng had prepared for this when he arrived and even got a Bank Card specifically for this purpose, naturally speaking to Chen Sheng.
Lin Feng was quite satisfied with Chen Sheng's attitude towards Qian Liexian and didn't feel the need to be polite at this moment.
"You rascal... you really know how to surprise people." Chen Sheng didn't expect that the suitcase Lin Feng had placed in the trunk contained cash. He chuckled while taking out the car keys and handing them to Lin Feng.
"Hehe..." After receiving the keys, Lin Feng smiled as he scratched his head and pulled Dong Jie out to get the cash. He had prepared ten million in cash but didn't expect to use half of it so quickly.
"Hey... I'm going too." Chen Xinni suddenly remembered how Lin Feng had taken away several tens of millions in cash from the racing venue last time. She decided she wanted to see what five million in cash looked like.
"You girl, why are you always so reckless?" Dong Jie laughed and scolded when she saw Chen Xinni wanting to follow. She took her hand and prepared to go out with Lin Feng to get the money.
Seeing this, Lin Feng didn't object. Instead, he left gracefully under the sharp gaze of Qian Liexian and Qian Dazongzi, who looked like they wished they could swallow him whole.
Qian Dazongzi felt jealous seeing Lin Feng accompanied by two beautiful women. At the same time, his desire to regain his status became even more urgent; he vowed not to let Lin Feng have an easy time.
Soon, Lin Feng returned carrying a large suitcase. The people here were all wealthy individuals worth over a hundred million. Although they were surprised by Lin Feng carrying cash, it was just surprise; five million wasn't something they hadn't seen before.
However, when Lin Feng handed stacks of money to Bai Laosan, they were still shocked by such a large amount of cash. They were rich, but that was just a string of numbers in their bank accounts; it had been a long time since they had seen so much cash in person.
After handing over the money to Bai Laosan, the Rough Stones belonged to Lin Feng. Following this, Bai Laosan casually asked Lin Feng, "Brother Lin Feng, do you want to crack the stones right here on the spot?"
Most people involved in Gambling Stone do not crack stones on-site due to concerns about others keeping an eye on them or damaging their reputation if things go wrong. Therefore, most people wouldn't choose to crack stones on-site; Bai Laosan was merely asking out of habit and didn't really expect Lin Feng would choose to do so either.
Originally, Lin Feng did not intend to resolve the matter on the spot, but at that moment, the annoying Gigolo Qian Liexian stepped forward and mocked, "This kid looks like a naive fool. Does he dare to resolve the stone right here? He probably just cries over the broken Rough Stone in private. White Boss, don’t make it hard for him."
His words were delivered with an air of superiority, as if he were an elder advising a younger person, yet they lacked any refinement.
Bai Laosan remained silent; he could not agree with Qian Liexian's remarks and offend his own guest, but he also couldn't let Lin Feng and Qian Liexian become enemies. This was the shrewdness of a businessman.
"Heh... what does it matter to you whether I resolve it on the spot or not? Who do you think you are? What? Seeing that I’m not stooping to your level, you’re starting to get pushy?" Lin Feng had known from the moment he saw this guy approach that it would not be good. Since he was already offended, Lin Feng decided to speak openly; some people just couldn’t handle subtle insults and preferred direct confrontation.
After all, Lin Feng was not in the jade business himself, so there was no need for him to play along with someone like Qian Liexian.
"Hey... kid, you’re quite arrogant, huh? I’ll make this clear: if you dare to resolve the stone on the spot, I’ll cover the cost of resolving it. By the way, how about a bet? Are you up for it?" Qian Liexian had seen the jade stones Lin Feng bought; apart from one that barely looked acceptable, he didn’t think there was any chance of Gambling on Price. At that moment, he spoke fiercely, and surprisingly, he did have a bit of bravado.
Unfortunately for him, Lin Feng saw that bravado as foolishness—rushing over to hand him money? Wasn’t that just plain stupid?
"Well, sounds good. I can make some extra cash. How about betting a few million?" Lin Feng naturally wasn’t intimidated and replied.
"Heh... let’s bet what money you have left in hand. Just don’t say I bullied you if you can’t come up with the stakes. Here’s the deal: pick one from the five Rough Stones you bought and resolve it on the spot. If it’s a big rise, you win; if not, then I win." He spoke carefully; while claiming not to bully Lin Feng, his proposed terms were not entirely fair because only a big rise would count as Lin Feng winning. Otherwise, even if something valuable came out, as long as it wasn’t a big rise, it would still count as Qian Liexian winning.
Chen Sheng and Chen Xinni naturally caught onto the trap in Qian Liexian's tone and were about to remind Lin Feng when Lin Feng spoke up: "Alright then, let’s bet five million. If it’s a big rise, I win; otherwise, you win."
