I lent my brother 500 yuan, and he offered his wife as collateral.

……

"Both of you, calm down."

Qin Feng sighed, looking like a sincere and honest person.

"I'm an honest person and I don't want to rip you off. This stone is indeed a water stone from Hpakant, the outer layer and the inner layer are indistinguishable, and the gamble is extremely high. Look here..."

Qin Feng pointed to the spot where he had scraped off the soil, revealing a dark black area.

"This is called 'black mist infiltrating dirt.' Everyone who deals in stones knows this: 'If there's dirt under the mist, even a god can't stop it.' If this black mist gets inside, even if there's meat inside, it's just waste. And here, this fine line looks like a crack in the skin, but in stones from Hpakant, cracks in the skin often connect to cracks in the meat."

Qin Feng raised his head and looked at Manager Wang and Gu Shao Cong with a sincere expression.

"Seriously, the risk is too great. If I were you, I would never spend hundreds of millions on this kind of uncertainty. I only spent ten thousand yuan on this stone. It's fine as a hobby, but it's not worth gambling your entire fortune."

These words were well-reasoned, supported by evidence, and extremely professional.

Several experienced players around them nodded in agreement, agreeing with Qin Feng's point.

But Manager Wang interpreted these words in a completely different way.

If someone else had said this, Manager Wang might have believed it to some extent.

But this is Qin Feng!

This is Qin Feng, who just precisely cut out the Imperial Green from that pile of waste and swindled Gu Shao Cong out of his fortune!

Would someone who devours others without spitting out the bones kindly remind their competitors of the risks?

This is like a weasel standing at the entrance to a henhouse, earnestly saying to the chickens:

"It's too crowded inside, let's come out for some fresh air."

Anyone who believes that is an idiot.

He's acting!

The thought suddenly popped into Manager Wang's mind.

He's trying to drive down the price! He's trying to discourage people from buying!

The more people say there's something wrong with this stone, the more likely there is something valuable inside!

That "Dragon-Suppressing Stone" looked so perfect, but when you cut it open, it was a pile of shit.

Despite the stone's poor performance, Qin Feng held onto it tightly and even pointed out its flaws.

Buy the opposite, and you'll get a villa by the sea!

Manager Wang's breathing became rapid.

He thought of the second young lady's chilling gaze and the consequences of failing to complete the mission.

If he doesn't take a gamble, he'll just die if he goes back.

I'm taking a gamble; I'm hoping to find a whole room full of top-quality red jadeite, or even the legendary "blood jade."

That will not only fill the hole, but also make a great contribution!

"Qin Feng, stop with your crocodile tears!"

Gu Shao Cong clearly thought the same thing. He grinned maliciously and took a step forward. "Cracked? Dirty? I don't care! I'll bet on your judgment, Qin Feng! Four hundred and fifty million!!"

Ok?

Qin Feng looked at Gu Shao Cong.

Why are you raising the price when no one else has made an offer?

That's interesting!

Su Qingxue stood behind Qin Feng, her small hands tightly covering her mouth, afraid that she would cry out.

Looking at Qin Feng's calm profile, she felt a storm raging in her heart.

Feng Ge seems to be telling the truth, so why are these two people going even crazier?

Seeing Gu Shao Cong's confident demeanor, Manager Wang's defenses completely crumbled.

This 500 million yuan in cash was originally obtained from the sale of the Gu family's assets.

Transfer from left hand to right hand.

As long as the stone is in the Su family's hands, the meat will rot in the pot!

"Five hundred million!!!"

Manager Wang roared, his eyes bloodshot, the veins on his neck throbbing like earthworms, "I'll offer 500 million! Cash! Transfer it immediately!!"

The audience was silent.

Five hundred million.

A broken stone used to weigh down rags has seen its value increase fifty thousand times.

This price is exactly the total price that Qian Wanda paid when he bought half of the Gu family's business.

Not more, not less, not a fraction off.

Everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed on Gu Shao Cong.

Judging from the previous pace, this mad dog will definitely raise the price again.

however.

The expected roar did not occur.

The ferocity, madness, and hysteria on Gu Shaocong's face receded completely like a tide when he heard the words "five hundred million".

In a dramatic shift, his expression changed to a cold, cunning, and even mocking smile.

He straightened up, straightened his suit which had turned into tattered rags, and exhaled a long breath.

"Five hundred million..."

Gu Shao Cong clicked his tongue, looking at Manager Wang, who was covered in sweat, as if he were a fool.

"The Su family is indeed wealthy and powerful. I admire them."

After saying that, he took a step back decisively and made a "please" gesture.

"It's yours now."

Manager Wang was stunned.

He remained in that roaring posture, his mouth wide open, like a rooster whose neck had been suddenly grabbed.

"You...you're not adding it?" Manager Wang's voice trembled.

"Am I stupid?" Gu Shao Cong sneered, his eyes sinister. "I just gambled away my entire fortune. I'm penniless. Forget five hundred million, I can't even come up with five hundred dollars in cash."

"Then what you just did...?"

"Just kidding." Gu Shao Cong shrugged, revealing a mouthful of bloody teeth. "Anyway, bragging isn't illegal. Besides, this stone really does look like a treasure. Since the Su family wants it so much, of course I'll do them a favor and help you raise the price to show off the Su family's status."

boom--!

It felt like a bomb had exploded in Manager Wang's mind.

been played!

I was tricked by this stray dog!

Gu Shaocong has no money at all; he's just maliciously inflating the price!

He's just getting revenge!

"You...you..."

Manager Wang pointed at Gu Shao Cong, trembling with anger, and almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Stop with the 'you' and 'me' stuff," Qin Feng interjected with a smile, holding up his phone, the screen displaying a huge QR code for receiving payments.

"Manager Wang, everyone's listening. The Su family values ​​'reputation' above all else in business. Five hundred million, cash, transfer immediately. You're not planning to renege on the debt, are you?"

Qin Feng emphasized the word "reputation" very much.

This was the same line Manager Wang used to force Gu Shao Cong to admit his mistake, and Qin Feng used it back exactly as it was.

Manager Wang looked at the QR code, then glanced at the hundreds of pairs of eyes staring at him.

Those eyes held mockery, sarcasm, and anticipation for seeing the Su family make a fool of themselves.

It's hard to ride a tiger.

If we back out now, the Su family's reputation will be completely ruined tonight.

"change!"

Manager Wang gritted his teeth and squeezed out a single word through the gap between them.

With trembling hands, he took out the black gold card that he hadn't even warmed up yet and started operating it on Qin Feng's phone.

Each number he entered felt like a piece of his flesh being cut off.

"drop!"

"500 million yuan received via WeChat."

The crisp, melodious electronic synthesized sound echoed in the empty basement, like heavenly music.

Qin Feng put away his phone, his smile as bright as a flower.

He casually shoved the stone, worth 500 million, into Manager Wang's arms.

"Here you go! This is a treasure, please don't drop it."

Manager Wang held that heavy, greasy stone as if he were holding a time bomb.

Five hundred million!

The money hadn't even been in the Su family's account overnight before it flowed into Qin Feng's pocket.

Qin Feng turned around, looked at Qian Wanda who had been standing to the side as a background figure, and snapped his fingers.

"Old Qian, have you figured out the accounts?"

Qian Wanda grinned so hard his eyes narrowed into slits, his fat face jiggling: "I understand, Master Qin! We just spent 500 million to buy the Gu family's shops and antiques, and now the Su family has given us another 500 million. This in-and-out..."

Qian Wanda patted the thick stack of property ownership certificates in his hand.

"So we didn't spend a single penny, but got half of the Gu family's empire for free, plus enough for a late-night snack!"

Get it for free.

The surrounding crowd listened to this account and were dumbfounded. Their gazes towards Qin Feng were no longer just awe, but terror.

This is hardly the work of an appraiser.

This is clearly a devil who manipulates people's hearts!

The Su family set a trap to slaughter a pig, but the pig escaped, the knife was stolen, and even the butcher's underwear was taken away.

"Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!"

The coal mine owner gave a thumbs-up and exclaimed sincerely.

Manager Wang stood there holding the stone, listening to the discussions, feeling dizzy and his vision blurred.

Did he win?

We got the stone.

But the cost... is too high.

If this stone isn't worth 500 million when cut open, the second young lady would definitely chop it up and feed it to the dogs.

"Let's go, Qingxue."

Qin Feng pulled up Su Qingxue, who was still in a daze, in a great mood. "A good night's work. Let's go back to sleep."

Su Qingxue nodded obediently, although she still didn't fully understand the intricacies of the situation.

But she knew one thing—Brother Feng won, and won beautifully.

The two walked towards the exit.

As Qin Feng passed by Gu Shao Cong, he paused slightly.

At this moment, although Gu Shao Cong had taken revenge on Manager Wang, the sense of despondency from losing everything still lingered over him.

He leaned against the iron gate, like a body whose soul had been drained.

Qin Feng stopped and turned his head to the side.

Their eyes met in mid-air.

The previous tension had vanished, replaced by a strange, unspoken understanding.

"Young Master Gu, this opera was sung quite well," Qin Feng said calmly.

Gu Shao Cong gave a bitter laugh, pulling at the wound on his lip: "I'm no match for Master Qin. I lost, and that's that. I'm simply not as skilled. I admit defeat."

He may be crazy, but he's not stupid.

Tonight's game may seem like a scheme orchestrated by the Su family, but in reality, Qin Feng is in control.

Gu Shao Cong is a pawn, and Manager Wang is also a pawn.

Only Qin Feng was the one playing chess.

"Just accept it." Qin Feng reached out and gently patted Gu Shao Cong's dusty shoulder.

Then, he moved closer.

"I'll go see Grandpa Gu tomorrow afternoon."

"There might still be a chance to save him!"
