The Greatest Village Doctor In The World

Chapter 840 Stone King

Li Huai’s complexion changed drastically, from pale to red, and then from red to purple; he never expected the duck that was almost in his mouth to fly away!

So, somewhat flustered and exasperated, he pointed at the short, plump man and yelled, "Are you just making trouble for the sake of it? I had my eye on this jadeite first, why are you causing a scene!"

"What kind of argument is that? The organizers allow fair competition, and the highest offer wins," the short, plump man asked with disdain. "Does it become yours just because you fancy it?"

"You!"

Li Huai trembled with anger and turned to look at Ling Feng, "Brother, this man is just here to cause trouble. Even after you’ve processed the jadeite, it won’t sell for forty-five million!"

Ling Feng also found it strange and frowned at the short, plump man, wondering what his intentions were.

But if someone was willingly offering him money, that certainly wasn’t a bad thing!

So he smiled and turned to look at Li Huai, "Big Brother Li, this jadeite isn’t exactly top-grade. You want to process it just to make a profit, right?"

"Yes, that’s right," Li Huai said blankly.

"Since the price is so high, you won’t make much profit. I think it’s better to let him have it!" Ling Feng chuckled.

"Ah? But..."

Li Huai looked as if he had been stabbed, his face full of reluctance.

Originally he could have clinched the deal for thirty-five million, and upon returning he could have flipped it for a profit of over ten million, but now it had all fallen through. Of course, he was very uncomfortable!

Especially the mocking smile on the face of the short, plump man, which made Li Huai even more furious, so he shouted loudly, "You’re ruthless, but don’t be too happy too soon. I’ve already calculated the profits of this jadeite, and there’s no way you’re making money on it!"

"Who said I want to make money? What’s wrong with taking it home to display?"

The short, plump man sneered and handed his credit card to the staff member nearby.

After swiping the card and transferring the funds, Ling Feng received the balance after deducting the handling fees, and his earnings from this trip to Guo City immediately broke through seven hundred million!

With the purple jadeite in hand, the short, plump man turned to Ling Feng, "May I ask your esteemed surname, sir?"

"I’m Ling Feng. What’s your name?" asked Ling Feng.

"Here’s my business card, Mr. Ling. I hope we have another opportunity to collaborate!"

The short, plump man was very respectful, taking out a card, bending over, and handing it to him.

Ling Feng looked at it and saw that the name was Sato Hiroichi, an international buyer for a jewelry merchant in Dongying.

So he smiled and said, "Alright, I look forward to working with you again!"

Sato walked away with the jadeite, and Li Huai, stomping his feet in anger, was helpless.

He could afford forty-five million, but buying it would mean a loss, so why bother forcing the issue?

Seeing him like this, Ling Feng smiled and said, "Don’t worry, Big Brother Li. I promise you, if I come across another nice piece of jadeite, I’ll reserve it for you!"

"I feel reassured with your word!" Li Huai nodded helplessly.

Just then, a cold voice suddenly came from the crowd, "Who do you think you are? Is top-grade jadeite as common as cabbage? You say you’ll find it just like that?"

Ling Feng turned his head and saw a young man with dark skin looking at him with disdain.

If it were his old self, Ling Feng would have retorted without any courtesy.

But his current status was such that he found it beneath him to engage in petty squabbles, so he just smiled faintly and walked away with Feng Ling, leaving the stone-cutting machine area behind.

The crowd quickly dispersed, but the young man kept his gaze fixed on Ling Feng’s back, his eyes slowly narrowing.

"Young master, should we keep tabs on him?" someone asked from beside him.

Sun Shaofeng nodded, "Follow him. There might be something off about that kid! If you notice anything unusual, come back and tell me right away!"

"Understood!"

The underling nodded and hurried to follow.

Ling Feng and Feng Ling had not walked for long before he suddenly smiled and said, "Now there are already three groups of people following us!"

"So many?"

Feng Ling, being an old hand in the jianghu, was surprised but did not turn her head to look, only feeling it strange.

Ling Feng nodded, "Li Huai counts as one, that short and fat man has also sent people to follow, and another is from that young man who spoke rudely earlier!"

"Then what do they want?" Feng Ling asked.

"These people are clearly targeting me. If later I can still unearth a top-quality jade, they will know I’m no ordinary person, and that I must be skilled in some special method," Ling Feng explained.

Feng Ling paused for a moment, then asked with some nervousness, "Won’t that expose you? Could it affect something?"

"No, the more I expose, the less attention Zhang He over there gets, it’s actually a good thing!"

After smiling, Ling Feng continued walking forward, pulling her along.

The people tracking them were completely unaware that they had been exposed, still hiding stealthily behind the crowds, thinking themselves very clever.

After making a round, Ling Feng didn’t find any more good stones, so he decided to see if Zhang He had any gains.

But just at that moment, from the distant entrance to the arena, a small cart suddenly appeared, and a man was running over with a stone on it.

Ling Feng was startled, stopped in his tracks, and after a few glances, realized that the man was from Mianluo Country and looked like he might be a hillfolk or something.

The man pushed the stone to the edge of the lawn, stopped, and carefully patted the stone before taking a few deep breaths.

Judging by that, he seemed to be there to sell a raw stone, though it was unclear why he was late.

What was even stranger was that the man had brought only one raw stone!

Seeing this, Ling Feng winked at Feng Ling, "Ask that man what’s going on."

"Okay!"

Feng Ling nodded, stepped forward, and chatted with the man briefly.

Soon, she returned to Ling Feng’s side, "The man’s mind might be a bit off; he says his stone is the ’Stone King’ and wants ten million for it!"

"Oh?"

Ling Feng shrugged, smiled, and asked, "Is he that confident?"

"He says he trusts his own eyes and would never make a mistake!"

Feng Ling gave a wry smile, shaking her head helplessly, "He must be crazy from all the stone gambling, a bit of a maniac!"

"A vendor selling just one piece of raw stone is indeed rare," Ling Feng nodded.

Feng Ling pursed her lips, "Not only that, but he’s also asking for such a high price; I doubt he’ll be able to sell it!"

"Who says?"

Ling Feng smiled and took her hand, "I’m actually very interested!"

"Ah?"

Feng Ling was stunned, and before she knew it, she had been pulled over to the man.

Then Ling Feng said to her, "Tell this man to push the stone and follow me to the transaction area to pay the fee!"

"You, you’re really buying? Without bargaining?" Feng Ling was astonished.

"No need. The price is worth it!" Ling Feng stated.

Feng Ling paused for a moment, then her understanding dawned, and her eyes immediately gleamed, "You mean, inside this could really be..."

Ling Feng nodded and cut off her words, "Indeed, this one might actually be the Stone King!"
