Top Grade Immortal Emperor in the Flower City

Chapter 69: Chapter 69 Betting Agreement

Wang Ningmei gently tugged at her jade hand, but still couldn't break free.

Han Lin was simply stunned, how could someone dare to flirt with the boss's wife so openly?

Gao Ning frowned and said, "Kid, what are you trying to imply? Haven't seen a beauty before, eh?"

Obviously, Gao Ning was interested in Wang Ningmei and wanted to take this opportunity to play the hero and save the beauty.

Wang Ningmei's charming face grew a bit cold as she stared at Ye Ling, her starry eyes revealing a hint of chilliness.

"Don't want to let go, is that it?"

Wang Ningmei said, "No problem, if you want to touch, come to my office, I'll let you touch all you want."

Upon hearing this, Gao Ning and the others did not show a surprised look but instead curled their lips in a cold smile.

Han Lin quickly said, "Mei sister, Mr. Ye probably didn't mean to, he..."

Before he could finish, Han Lin's eyes widened in shock again.

Ye Ling suddenly pulled Wang Ningmei over and directly lifted her collar to see the deep ravine inside, along with the black lace bra.

"Scoundrel!"

Wang Ningmei had not expected Ye Ling to dare to be so bold and immediately became furious.

Right away, Wang Ningmei swung a slap towards Ye Ling.

But Ye Ling caught Wang Ningmei's hand and said seriously, "Have you been feeling a lack of sleep recently, often fearful, and inexplicably finding bruises on your body?"

Wang Ningmei was taken aback, and the anger in her heart immediately dissipated.

"How do you know?" Wang Ningmei asked in shock.

What Ye Ling said had struck a chord in her heart, and he was not wrong in the least.

"I just saw bruises on your arm and your chest," Ye Ling said.

Wang Ningmei, reminded that Ye Ling had dared to take liberties with her in front of so many people, felt her anger rising again.

"So you said that because you saw my bruises. Even if you're a doctor, you can't be so disrespectful, can you?"

Ye Ling shook his head, "If I didn't know beforehand about the bruises on your body, would I have looked at your arm and chest?"

"What's going on here?" Wang Ningmei furrowed her brow and asked.

Ye Ling took a step forward, came up to Wang Ningmei, and gently bowed his head.

Wang Ningmei didn't dodge, knowing that Ye Ling had something to tell her.

"A malevolent ghost is pressing on your body," Ye Ling whispered.

"What?!"

Wang Ningmei's face immediately paled, and she stepped back several paces, her eyes wide.

"Don't believe me?"

Ye Ling shook his head and was about to turn away.

"Wait!"

But Wang Ningmei hurriedly said, "I believe you, I believe you!"

"You are the boss here, right?" Ye Ling asked again.

"Hmm."

"Prepare 10 million, and I will help you."

With that indifferent statement, Ye Ling then turned to look at Gao Ning and casually said, "Fatty, shall we begin?"

Gao Ning frowned, puzzled.

What on earth did this guy say to Wang Ningmei?

Even the usually very composed Wang Ningmei looked visibly shaken?

"You little scoundrel, trying to deceive and extort 10 million from me, do you need my help to do that?"

Gao Ning muttered and then walked over to the raw stones.

He indeed had a deep understanding of stone gambling; he tapped this stone and examined that one, as if he could see their true nature.

Ye Ling, however, went straight to a stone priced at 100,000 yuan and said, "Let's go with a 100,000 yuan stone, I choose this one."

"Alright."

Gao Ning immediately revealed a cold smile.

In his view, when it came to stone gambling, Ye Ling was really just a rookie.

Without even giving it a close look, just casually picking one?

Gao Ning felt that the stone Ye Ling had chosen, with its greyish color and heavy material, even if it really contained jade, would definitely not exceed 50,000 yuan.

"Hmph, little scoundrel, trying to play games with me?"

Gao Ning went around and finally chose a stone priced at 100,000 yuan.

"Have you made your choice?" Ye Ling asked.

"Obviously," Gao Ning replied.

Gao Ning handed the rough stone to the master who appeared to be nearly 60, saying, "This one, just clean it for me first."

"Sure."

The master nodded and began to clean the stone.

It wasn't long before a streak of green light appeared on the stone.

"It's gone up!"

People around them exclaimed in surprise.

"Keep cleaning," Gao Ning said calmly, plainly.

The master cleaned some more, and indeed, the green light on the stone grew more intense.

"It's gone up again, gone up again!"

"Gao the Fatty is indeed a gambling stone expert—eighty percent of the stones he picks turn out to be something."

"Just looking at this color rise, it's got to be worth over 100,000."

"150,000, I'll take it!"

"I'll offer 200,000!"

Immediately, people started to make their bids.

Gao Ning, however, shook his head and said, "Cut from the left side, 20 centimeters in."

The master didn't say a word and cut straight down.

"Woosh!"

The green light on the rough stone suddenly burst forth, dazzling even under the sunlight.

"Holy shit, it's gone up again, could it be a Shanhai Green?"

"Doesn't look like it, Shanhai Green usually has a bit of a blue-gray tint, and this clearly doesn't."

"Gao Fatty, 500,000, how about selling it to me?"

"Boss Gao, 700,000, I'll offer 700,000, let me have it?"

Seeing another increase, the people around widened their eyes, filled with admiration for Gao Ning as they began to quote their prices.

Gao Ning felt a bit disappointed deep down; he had thought it might be Shanhai Green.

"Okay, 700,000, it's yours," Gao Ning said.

A middle-aged man wearing glasses came forward, transferred the money to Gao Ning, and happily took the stone away.

"Kid, it's your turn," Gao Ning said with a sneer, looking at Ye Ling, "Don't get your hopes up; this rock is thick and heavy, almost no chance of yielding jade, it's just a piece of broken stone."

"Is that so?"

Ye Ling glanced at Gao Ning indifferently, the corner of his mouth curling up.

Did he not know whether there was jade in this stone?

Although it indeed didn't look like a stone that would contain jade, there was a strong current of spiritual energy emanating from it, many times more potent than the energy from Gao Ning's stone.

"Master, no need to clean, just cut straight down from here," Ye Ling said, marking a line in the middle of the stone.

"Cut it like this?"

The master frowned and said, "Cutting it like this, even if there is jade, it's likely going to be damaged."

"No worries, just cut," said Ye Ling with a smile.

Hearing this, the master shook his head helplessly and cut down the middle.

Everyone watched, and when they saw not even a glimmer of light, they all hissed, silently thinking that the kid had just lost 700,000.

But then they heard Ye Ling say, "Now, make another cut here."

The master looked at Ye Ling, thinking the young man was still not giving up. What could come out of such a small remaining piece of stone?

Still thinking, he made another cut.

It was the same as the first, nothing appeared.

"Kid, I think you might as well give up hope, this small thing, you've already made two cuts, do you still expect it to turn out well?" Gao Ning shouted.

Han Lin also shook his head.

He might not have gambled on stone before, but he had seen enough.

This raw stone was already cut like this. There really wasn't much hope left.
