Top Grade Immortal Emperor in the Flower City

Chapter 74 You think you can take my head?

Even Wang Ningmei, broad-minded as she was, couldn't help blushing at this moment.

She was somewhat puzzled; if there really were ghosts as Ye Ling suggested, would there be a need for contraception?

"Alright, I've got things to do, so I'll be off."

Just as Ye Ling was about to leave, he paused, pointed to the largest piece of raw stone in the middle, and said to Gao Ning, "Old bro, this one is specially reserved for you. If you trust me, give it a cut and see—though you don't need to cut from the middle, just slice from the left and right and then polish it."

Having said that, Ye Ling left with his backpack.

Gao Ning was somewhat stunned.

That biggest piece of raw stone was priced at 50 million, and it had been sitting there almost since the antique shop opened, untouched by anyone.

Firstly, because the price was just too high, a bad cut would mean a sure loss.

Secondly, because the stone was simply too large.

In the jade gambling world, there are many unwritten rules, one of which is not to pick large raw stones to cut.

Everyone knows that no matter the raw stone, it won't contain large pieces of jade.

This piece of raw stone looked very big, like a rockery, but if only a small amount of jade was cut from it, the loss would be enormous.

Upon hearing this, the people around felt a little itchy.

They thought to themselves that Ye Ling surely was a remarkable person, and since he had made such a statement, it shouldn't be too far off, right?

But Ye Ling had also said that it was specially reserved for Gao Ning, so it would be embarrassing for them to take it.

The most crucial point was that Ye Ling had just had a conflict with Gao Ning, and while it seemed to have been resolved, Ye Ling had ended up 400 million short. Could his heart really have balanced out so quickly?

"Could this kid be using this piece of jade to get back at me because I paid him less?" Gao Ning wondered.

It was then that Wang Ningmei suddenly said, "Boss Gao, although I have lost a lot today, I still suggest you buy this piece of raw stone. If you don't want it, then I'll go ahead and cut it myself."

Gao Ning hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "I'll transfer the money to you now. Master, cut it just as Brother Ye suggested. Even if I lose, I, Gao Ning, will accept it. Who told me not to be honest in the first place?"

"Deserving of being a master in the jade gambling world, I admire your courage," Wang Ningmei said.

The master cutter was decisive, without saying a word, he began to cut according to Ye Ling's instructions.

In an instant, a burst of green light shone into everyone's eyes, almost blinding them.

"Emperor Green!"

"Holy shit, Emperor Green jade, even more precious than Seahai Green, and it's spreading from both sides, clearly weighing over 10 kilograms!"

"Fatty Gao has really met his noble today. After this Emperor Green jade is polished, not only will he recover his own 400 million, but he will also make several billion more!"

Everyone was envious, cursing inwardly—what was the point of saving face now? How much is face worth anyway?

If only they had known, they would have fought for it no matter what! Continue your adventure with m|v-l'e-NovelFire

"Hahaha..."

Gao Ning let out an excited laugh, his eyes narrowed so much that they were almost invisible.

"It's Emperor Green jade, such a huge piece at that! Brother Ye really didn't deceive me, truly a remarkable person!"

Gao Ning was overjoyed beyond measure, knowing that not only had he not lost money today, but he had also made a great fortune.

"Congratulations, Boss Gao."

Wang Ningmei also smiled and said, "However, you earned it back yourself, Boss Gao. If you had been unscrupulous just now, this piece of Emperor Green jade wouldn't have been yours."

"Yes..."

Gao Ning sighed and said, "I, Fatty Gao, have learned my lesson today. When it comes to being a person, one can't be too arrogant."

The people around all sighed after hearing that, thinking to themselves that it might be time to correct their habit of looking down on others.

"Madam, if Brother Ye Ling comes tonight, you must get his phone number for me. Whenever he has time, I must treat him well," Gao Ning said earnestly.

"Okay."

Wang Ningmei smiled and nodded her head.

...

Speaking of Ye Ling, after leaving the antique shop, he drove home.

However, as soon as Ye Ling entered the villa, he sensed a strong killing intent.

Ye Ling frowned and sneered inwardly, it seemed someone had held a grudge against him...

But Ye Ling appeared calm on the surface, as if unaware of anything, and entered the villa.

After putting down his backpack, Ye Ling took out a can of beverage from the refrigerator. After opening it, he leisurely made his way to the balcony and began drinking in big gulps.

He stood there for a good half hour, and still, no one appeared, but that killing intent was still locked on Ye Ling.

"Brother, you're really patient..."

Ye Ling suddenly spoke up as if talking to himself.

"I suggest you come out quickly if you didn't bring a gun. It's no good continuing like this, right?"

After those words fell, a middle-aged man walked out from Ye Ling's room.

This middle-aged man had a cold complexion and a blank expression, his whole body exuded a fierce air, and it was clear he had spilled quite a lot of blood.

"You actually found me," the middle-aged man said.

Ye Ling turned around and looked at the middle-aged man calmly. He chuckled, "Your killing intent is so intense, it would be hard not to notice you!"

"To feel my killing intent, you're obviously not an ordinary person," the middle-aged man said.

"Let me guess, who hired you?"

Ye Ling said, "Liu Hainan, that rich second generation? Probably not; it's been several days already. If he wanted someone to kill me, he wouldn't wait until now."

"People from the antique shop? Also unlikely, they couldn't find an assassin in such short notice."

"So it must be Lin Hua."

At this point, Ye Ling showed a smile, though it was somewhat icy.

"This guy is really troublesome, isn't he happy unless I finish him off? There's no third time after the first and second. You can tell him after you go back that if he doesn't send five hundred million over, I might just take his head when I have the time."

The middle-aged man's face showed some change, obviously shocked that Ye Ling had guessed who hired him in such a short span of time.

"You don't need to take his head, I've come today to take yours," the middle-aged man said.

"Take my head? With just you?"

Ye Ling burst into laughter directly.

"Big brother, at your age, you're really not cut out for this. You'd better leave quickly while I still don't want to harm you. Go home, wrap some dumplings, farm a bit of land. It should be enough for you to live on."

"Hmph, I've seen arrogant types, but never one as arrogant as you."

The middle-aged man exuded an oppressive aura from all over his body.

"Fine, you want to kill me, right? Then before I die, can I know your name, or at least who you are?" Ye Ling asked.

"All you need to remember is 'Shooting Star'."

The middle-aged man snorted coldly and charged straight at Ye Ling.
