Chapter 138: Chapter 138: The Beauty Trap (Extra Chapter)

At this moment, as the Stone-Cutting Master was about to make the third cut, Boss Zheng suddenly shouted, "Hey, buddy, stop cutting and just sell me that rock, aren’t you short of ten million? Here’s what we’ll do, I’ll transfer you fifteen million directly, so you can make a tidy profit with the principal and interest included, how about that?"

Even a blind man could see that this piece of raw stone was going to appreciate greatly.

What Boss Zheng was counting on was that if he could secure the stone before any further "windowing" occurred, wouldn’t he be in for a huge profit?

Even with his current wealth and status, he didn’t care for such windfall profits, but the intrinsic nature of a businessman to chase profits still drove him to take it.

Moreover, Elder Xiao’s seventieth birthday was just around the corner, and it was heard that the old man loved to collect. If Boss Zheng could present such a large piece of fine jadeite, and if it pleased the old man enough to agree to a collaboration, wouldn’t it mean a rolling fortune thereafter?

Unfortunately, the middle-aged man was clearly not tempted and, with an excited wave of his hand, said, "No, not selling..."

Obviously, the middle-aged man was not willing to give up on such a great opportunity for a price surge.

Still not wanting to give up, Boss Zheng continued to urge, "Buddy, I advise you to sell it to me. Fifteen million, to me, is just a drop in the bucket, but to you, it’s timely help. One should be content with what they have. What if the stone collapses with the third cut, then... hehe, it’s not as if that hasn’t happened before, eh?"

The middle-aged man, clearly still immersed in excitement, said, "Impossible, I have experience in stone gambling. With such promising potential in the raw stone, I can’t be wrong, it will definitely appreciate."

Seeing that he was not willing to sell, Boss Zheng cursed inwardly, ’damn it, you don’t appreciate a favor. Just you wait and see how I’ll get someone to deal with you later.’

At that time, a middle-aged woman came up to him to persuade him to take the win and avoid further risks.

But the middle-aged man not only didn’t listen, he snapped, "What do you know? You actually want me to give up such a great chance to turn things around, what are you thinking in that head of yours? Get lost!"

Since the middle-aged woman couldn’t persuade him, she had no choice but to step back helplessly.

Then, the Stone-Cutting Master asked the middle-aged man if he wished to proceed with the cut.

"Cut, keep cutting!" The middle-aged man was so excited that he was rubbing his hands together.

Hiss hiss...

The stone cutting machine roared to life once more.

But this time, to everyone’s surprise, the interior of the raw stone was filled with blackness, large swathes of it, almost completely consuming the green area...

The middle-aged man’s face turned ashen.

Boss Zheng laughed triumphantly, "Haha, how’s that? Stunned, aren’t you? I told you to sell it to me, but you refused, and now the stone is ruined... Thank goodness I didn’t take it, otherwise, I’d have had a huge loss!"

Like a wooden statue, the middle-aged man was dazed, and after a long while, he suddenly fell into a frenzy, "Impossible, impossible, it can’t be that I misjudged, it just can’t be..."

The middle-aged woman came over to console him, saying, "Let it go, husband, let’s go back..."

"Look what you’ve done!" The man’s eyes were bloodshot as he suddenly slapped the middle-aged woman across the face, "Bitch, I told you to give me more money so I could gamble on that White Python Raw Stone, but you wouldn’t listen. Now look where it got us, everything’s gone because of this failure."

Everyone present was somewhat shocked by this scene. Was this man even human? How could he hit a woman?

Clearly not expecting gratitude to be met with such abuse, the middle-aged woman burst into tears, "You actually hit me?"

"Hitting you is the least of it, get lost! Get lost!" the middle-aged man bellowed.

With that, the middle-aged woman turned and left in heartbroken despair.

The middle-aged man collapsed to the ground in complete despair, like a walking corpse.

Everyone looked at the middle-aged man with disdain, unanimously condemning his actions.

But at that very moment, Boss Zheng sidled up to him, whispering a few words in his ear. The middle-aged man hesitated at first, then clenched his teeth and agreed, promptly leaving the exhibition hall to chase after his wife.

Boss Zheng’s voice was very soft, but Ye Haochuan, with his excellent cultivation, heard every single word without missing a beat, and couldn’t help but curse, "Scum."

Xiao Haimie was taken aback, "What happened?"

Ye Haochuan, frowning, said in a low voice, "That Boss Zheng said he’s willing to lend that guy ten million, on the condition that... the guy offers up his wife to let Boss Zheng ’play with’ her for a night."

Xiao Haimie immediately looked horrified: "How can there be such people in this world? To covet someone else’s wife? Could that man be any less human? To actually agree for the sake of money?"

Li Wenfeng and Liu Qing’er, hearing this, were curious and came over to ask what was going on.

Xiao Haimie then relayed what Ye Haochuan had heard, speaking in a hushed voice.

Both Li Wenfeng and Liu Qing’er were furiously indignant, with Li Wenfeng even wanting to rush out and give Boss Zheng a good beating.

Ye Haochuan promptly grabbed him, saying solemnly, "Don’t get involved. If your father finds out, it will be hard to manage. Leave it to me."

Li Wenfeng thought it over, then agreed, spitting in Boss Zheng’s direction, "You lecherous old creep, utterly disgusting."

Contemplating the situation, an idea suddenly occurred to Ye Haochuan. He whispered something to Xiao Haimie.

Upon hearing it, Xiao Haimie gave him a light punch in the chest and said with a blushing face, "You jerk, suggesting I use my beauty to bait him. I think you’re just as bad as that Boss Zheng."

Ye Haochuan held her fist in his palm and gently stroked it, chuckling, "Don’t worry, Sister Mei. My plan isn’t asking you to sell yourself; it’s just a bit of pretense, that’s all, to make Boss Zheng look foolish... And don’t worry about the money for the stone-cutting, I’ll handle it."

"But can this really work?" Xiao Haimie was somewhat hesitant.

"Don’t worry. I’ve long noticed that Zheng Yiguan has been harboring improper thoughts about you. I bet that as soon as you make a move, he will fall for it without a doubt," Ye Haochuan declared confidently.

Hearing him say that the old creep had designs on her made Xiao Haimie feel disgusted, and she no longer hesitated, agreeing to the plan.

Then, Ye Haochuan disclosed his plan to Li Wenfeng and Liu Qing’er, both of whom praised its ingenuity enthusiastically.

Once they had agreed on the plan, Xiao Haimie approached the White Python Raw Stone, informing the festival staff that she intended to bet ten million on it.

Xiao Haimie’s move immediately caused a sensation at the scene.

In fact, since the opening of the stone gambling cultural festival that evening, many rich people had thrown a lot of money at cutting similar giant raw stones, all without success. Few wealthy patrons were willing to gamble large sums on this type of White Python Raw Stone anymore.

Now, someone had started to splash cash on stone-cutting again, and it was a stunningly beautiful woman, no less—it would have been strange if it didn’t cause a commotion.

Ye Haochuan kept a close watch on that old creep, Boss Zheng.

Sure enough, as soon as Xiao Haimie made a move, he was immediately drawn over, sidling up to Xiao Haimie with a leering gaze, "Miss Xiao, how about this—I’ll put up the ten million for you, how does that sound?"

PS: I got very bad news this morning. After a scolding from my editor over QQ, they asked why I released so many Chapters during the new book period, telling me to wait until after it’s on the shelves to do that. Old Tang feels extremely wronged. From what the editor said, releasing too many Chapters during the new book period would cause it to fall off the new book rankings very quickly. They told me to limit myself to at most three Chapters a day and not to release them randomly anymore. Sigh, I’m so frustrated—what do you guys think I should do?
