Chapter 298 Who Gave You the Guts!


    But at this time, Liu Chuan-Zhi suddenly got up angrily andughed loudly as he looked at Ye Fan.


    "HAHAHA!"


    "You''re really a master, Master Ye. I don''t know how much you know about rocks, but you''re a real


    master at fabricating stories. Never mind Mayor Han - even I nearly believed you myself!"


    "Master Ye, let me call you Master for the time being. I agree that the story you made up just now is


    really seamless and watertight. Even the two leading characters of your story, Mr Zhou and myself,


    nearly believed your nonsense."


    "But don''t forget, your conjecture is based solely on the idea that this jadeite is a worthless rock. So let


    me ask you now. What right do you have to say that my words were a pack of lies, and what proof do


    you have to say that this jadeite is worthless?"


    "Besides, there are so many witnesses here. Besides Mr Zhou, Mr Wang, Mr Du and everyone else


    has been in this industry for decades. This jadeite cracked open and after the snake bands fell off, we


    could all see the green inside. I''m not the only one who said it was a good rock. The rest of them were


    also full of praise for it.”


    Liu Chuan-Zhi smiled coldly with his hands behind his back. There was some arrogance and much fury


    on his face as he questioned Ye Fan.


    This string of questions were harsh and hit the nail on the head.


    Every word he said made logical sense.


    Everyone else also started nodding after hearing these words.


    "Indeed, this youngster just says that Mr Zhou and Master Liu are in cahoots to cheat Mayor Han, but


    he didn''t exin why he thinks Master Liu was spouting nonsense or why this jadeite is worthless."


    "Exactly. There''s green inside this rock." ''And this is from Hpakan in Myanmar too.


    It''s really rare to find a rock where you can see green the minute the snake bands fall away, and I''ve


    only seen it three times in my thirty years in the business. Every time this happens, the price goes up


    astronomically and one of them turned out to be imperial jade."


    "How could this punk say it''s worthless then?"


    "He must be spouting nonsense!"


    "I was nearly misled by this fellow and missed the point. So he''s misunderstood Master Liu, right?"


    The other suppliers shook their heads and sighed as they made various remarks.


    Liu Chuan-Zhi''s words had clearly turned the focus back onto Ye Fan.


    Han Dong-Min''s clenched fists had slowly rxed and he didn''t question Zhou Sheng and Liu Chuan-


    Zhi anymore. Instead, he looked towards Ye Fan as well. He was obviously waiting for Ye Fan to


    exin himself too.


    But their waiting was met with nothing but a long silence.


    Everyone was watching him, but Ye Fan didn''t give a response.


    Shen Fei was getting anxious and poked Ye Fan from behind. "Mr Ye, say something!"


    "Hurry up and exin things to them and give that old man a p in the face!"


    But Ye Fan continued to remain silent.


    The entire living room remained silent except for the wind coldly blowing in through the window.


    Shen Fei''s heart grew cold and numb.


    Could Ye Fan really be bluffing earlier?


    "HAHA! Master Ye, won''t you say something? Weren''t you so confident and eloquent earlier and


    sounded so convincing? Why have you be dumb now and not talking anymore?" Zhou Sheng


    startedughing arrogantly. He thought that he would have no way to escape his situation earlier, but


    after seeing Ye Fan remain silent, all the fear he felt earlier disappeared.


    Liu Chuan-Zhi scoffed coldly as well and was filled with contempt. "Say something?"


    "I think he doesn''t have anything to say! Rock gambling has always been an activity enjoyed only by


    the aristocrats. He''s just a country bumpkin with no money nor influence, so what would he know about


    rock gambling? I think he''s never even seen this before."


    "Never mind being a master in rock gambling - I think he doesn''t even know the difference between ice


    and ss jade, or the difference between Yang jade and imperial jade. Don''t even bother talking to him


    about cracks and snake bands. As for the famous mines of Hpakan and Hau Giang, I don''t think he''s


    even heard of those ces!”


    "You''re just a little hooligan who doesn''t know anything, but you dared to try scamming everyone and


    spouted so much nonsense to sway our hearts. You''re really bold!"


    Liu Chuan-Zhi''s cold and arrogant voice echoed through the living room.


    It was as if several swords were now pointed towards Ye Fan.


    There were muffled snorts all around, and Han Dong-Min also started to look coldly at Ye Fan.


    Ye Fan finallyughed.


    "Indeed, Master Liu is right. I''m from a lowly family and I''m nowhere near an aristocrat, neither am I


    from a wealthy family. I only found out about rock gamblingst month."


    PFFFT.


    Têxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Several people couldn''t help but snort.


    They had thought this young man was a genius in the world of rock gambling. They thought he might


    be some hidden master.


    In the end he was just someone who had only dabbled in this for less than half a year. Worse still, he


    was just an idiot who hadn''t been in this industry for even a month.


    And now, everyone realized that even though Ye Fan looked so confident and spoke so eloquently


    earlier, that was just a story he made up.


    Han Dong-Min''s expression was extremely nasty and he glowered at Ye Fan.


    He had started to believe Ye Fan earlier, but now it seemed like just a joke after all.


    But Ye Fan ignored the snorts around him. He stood where he was and his calm voice continued to ring


    out.


    "It''s true that I know nothing about rock gambling. I don''t know ss jade from ice jade, and I don''t


    know imperial jade from Yang jade. And I most certainly have no idea about Hpakan and Hau Giang.


    But none of these are important." "I just know that the rock over there is worthless, and your words are


    lies! That''s enough! You insist on knowing why I say so? I''ll tell you now! It''s based on my intuition!"


    What?!


    Intuition?!


    Ye Fan''s words were yet another rock in the sea and sent shockwaves through the crowd.


    "What the fuck? Are you a bloody idiot?!" Liu couldn''t hold himself back and cursed angrily.


    "Intuition?!"


    "You''re just an idiot!”


    Many of them were really angry now.


    They felt like they had just been taken for a ride.


    They thought that since Ye Fan was so certain, he could exin himself in great detail.


    So he had turned out to be nothing but a fool!


    And he had relied on intuition?


    He was just a young punk who knew nothing about rock gambling, so what intuition could he possibly


    have?


    Liu Chuan-Zhi was even angrier about being questioned and ridiculed by Ye Fan like this.


    "You little punk! Do you know who I am?! How dare you be so audacious and talk about intuition in front


    of me? Do you know anything about rock gambling? Can you tell where the rocks are from or what sort


    of outer shell the rocks have? You don''t even know ice jade from fake jade and you dare to question


    my authority? You dare to say that I''m spouting nonsense and I''m telling lies? Who gave you the guts


    to say something like that?!" Liu Chuan-Zhi roared angrily.


    His voice was arrogant and his eyes were cold. His overwhelming presence was like gold ttering


    loudly onto the floor with


    great confidence.


    His angry words and low voice was ear deafening, as if thunder was booming through the living room.
