Chapter 297 Singing a Duet
Ye Fan ignored the chortling in the room and turned to look at Liu Chuan-Zhi as he nonchntly said,
"There''s nothing much to say, really."
"I just want to tell Mayor Han that when Master Liu said earlier that if Mayor Han buys this rock, he
might not make a huge profit but he would definitely not make a loss, he was lying. This rock will not
have any ss jade in it, nor Yang jade, and definitely no imperial jade! In other words, this rock here is
really nothing but a rock. Never mind $200 million - even if you bought it at $20,000, you would make a
loss."
What?
Ye Fan''s words shocked everyone.
Liu Chuan-Zhi and Zhou Sheng''s expressions darkened.
The mocking look on Zhou Sheng''s face dissipated and now he looked at Ye Fan with fury and hatred.
"You little punk! What right do you have to
spout nonsense like that? When Master Liu questioned me, I had nothing to say, because he''s a
respected senior in the world of rock gambling. But you''re just a country bumpkin and a live-in son-in-
How DARE you?!" said Zhou Sheng nastily.
Ye Fan said that the Rock King of hispany was a worthless rock, so how could Zhou Sheng not
get angry?
If Han Dong-Min weren''t here, he would have gotten someone to break Ye Fan''s legs by now.
Ye Fan ignored Zhou Sheng''s angry remarks and continued speaking as he looked at Han Dong-Min,
"So Mayor Han, if you don''t want to carry this regret into the grave, I''d advise you against buying it. It''s
not so bad if you just lose some money, but I''m afraid that you''d end up losing the bright future you
have ahead of you, and you might even end up in jail." "You''re really audacious! How dare you say
something like that to Mayor Han! I think you''re just..." yelled Meng Guang angrily at Ye Fan''s words.
Ye Fan was clearly cursing Han Dong-Min.
But just when Meng Guang was about to chase this country bumpkin out of the house, Han Dong-Min
held him back.
"Mayor Han, don''t tell me you believe the nonsense he''s spouting? He''s just a country bumpkin, so
what does he know about jadeite?" said Meng Guang confusedly when Han Dong-Min actually stopped
him.
Han Dong-Min waved his hand to tell him that he would take care of this and Meng Guang didn''t need
to interfere.
Han Dong-Min then looked at Ye Fan and asked, "You say that it''s a worthless rock, but Master Liu
thinks it''s a valuable one. So you''re trying to say that Master Liu is not as good at judging rocks as
you?"
Ye Fanughed. "Mayor Han, I think you shouldn''t be asking me this question. You should be asking
this Master Liu who''s supposed to be a disciple of the so called King of Rocks, Wei Fu."
"Ask him if he''s really the disciple of the King of Rocks, or if he''s just an imposter. If he''s not really the
man he says he is, then you''ve hired the wrong guy. But if he''s really the man he says he is, then
Mayor Han, you''ve ced your trust in the wrong guy."
"What utter nonsense!” Liu Chuan-Zhi and Zhou Sheng exploded at nearly the same time.Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.
"Mayor Han, he''s just a useless bum from the countryside, so why listen to him spout nonsense here?
He''s just trying to scam others, so we''d better chase him out quickly so that he doesn''t get to say
anymore rubbish here!" Zhou Sheng had lost the calmness he had earlier and his expression was
furious.
Liu Chuan-Zhi was even more displeased and was incensed at Ye Fan''s words.
"I have followed the King of Rocks since I was a child and everybody in the jade industry of Jiangdong
knows who I am. So how could I be an imposter? Mayor Han, why bother with letting this idiot stay here
and spout nonsense? Chase him out now!" said Liu Chuan-Zhi in an equally angry voice.
But Han Dong-Min ignored their angry voices and frowned as he continued asking, "What did you
mean by that statement earlier?"
"I meant just that,” Ye Fan smiled faintly as he stuffed his hands into his pant pockets and continued to
look calm. "If this Liu Chuan-Zhi is not truly the disciple of the King of Rocks and is pretending to be
him, then of course, Mayor Han has clearly hired the wrong person.”
"But if this Master Liu is really the best disciple of the King of Rocks, then I can only say that Mayor
Han has been fooled. This Master Liu is on the same team as Mr Zhou and they''ve ganged up to cheat
you. And after hearing what Master Liu said earlier, there''s only one possibility."
"Nonsense! If Master Liu and Mr Zhou were on the same side, why would they have shed head on
earlier? If Mayor Han didn''t hold them back, the two of them would have gotten into a fight! It''s already
not bad if they don''t consider each other enemies! How could you say that they''re on the same side?"
questioned Meng Guang coldly. He didn''t believe Ye Fan at all.
Ye Fan shook his head andughed, "Isn''t that even more obvious? If they didn''t put on such an act,
would you think that they''re on opposite sides?”
"Well..." Meng Guang felt like he had been struck by lightning and froze on the spot.
He suddenly felt that Ye Fan made sense.
"Youngster, how dare you!" Master Liu couldn''t be bothered about maintaining an image befitting of his
status and authority. He red so angrily at Ye Fan that his eyes were about to fall out of their sockets
soon.
The hatred and regret in his eyes were
intense.
He was filled with regret now. He thought that his n with Zhou Sheng was seamless and so far it had
gone well.
Their n was about to seed, but he didn''t expect a young punk to notice something suspicious.
Now that Ye Fan had pointed it out, even if Han Dong-Min didn''t believe Ye Fan, he would also be
suspicious!
As he feared, Han Dong-Min''s expression darkened. He turned to look at Liu Chuan-Zhi and asked
coldly, "Master Liu, Mr Zhou, would the two of you like to exin yourselves?”
"Mayor Han, I..." Zhou Sheng looked anxious and tried to exin himself.
But Ye Fan startedughing again. "Mayor Han, what other exnation could there be?"
"I''m guessing that Mr Zhou hasn''t been able to manage thepany well and hispany is on the
verge of bankruptcy. So just before making a run for it, Mr Zhou wanted to scam Mayor Han of arge
sum of money. As for Master Liu, either Mr Zhou has a hold over him, or he owes Mr Zhou a favor, so
he agreed to cooperate with Mr Zhou to put on this exciting show."
"After all, $200 million is a lot of money to anybody, especially for someone who''s on the verge of
bankruptcy like Mr Zhou.
That''s enough money to help him tide over this crisis. So Mayor Han, these two have been singing a
duet to cheat you of your money! What Rock King is this? It''s just a worthless rock."
What?!
Ye Fan''s words were like a huge rock dropping into the ocean, causing everyone to go into an uproar.
The whole living room was filled with shock.
Han Dong-Min''s expression was even nastier now. He clenched his fists more tightly and his eyes were
"Zhou Sheng, Liu Chuan-Zhi, is what he''s saying true? Are the two of you really putting on a show to
cheat me?" Ye Fan had spoken so logically that even Han Dong-Min couldn''t help but be suspicious of
these two.
Zhou Sheng was already panicking and his face was pale while his entire body shook.
He didn''t expect Ye Fan to see through their ns!
Ye Fan hadn''t just seen through the scam, but he had also guessed his thoughts and his current
situation urately!
Who was this fellow?!
Was he really a country bumpkin?
Was he really just a useless live-in son-inw?
This guy was really some god who could see into people''s hearts, right?!
Zhou Sheng was filled with regret. If he had known things woulde to this, then he wouldn''t have
allowed Ye Fan to speak at all even if it cost him his life.
It was his own fault!
Zhou Sheng was already panicking because his ns had been exposed and he was feeling terribly
guilty. In his fear, he was ready toe clean with Han Dong-Min and beg for mercy.
But at this time...
