Chapter 632: Intense Revenge! Enemies Cross Paths Again
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Lord of Jade brought their discussion to a close. Ling Yun immediately began talking about the matters he had to handle. This was obviously about Green Dragon Out at Sea.
However, this wasn't something outsiders could listen to. Taking a look around him, Ling Yun smiled. “Lord of Jade, I have something important to talk to you about.”
The Lord of Jade understood immediately. Without hesitation, he stood up and exchanged a few words of courtesy with the rest of the party. Then, he invited Ling Yun to his study.
“Little pal, you can talk to me about anything.” Closing the door to the study, the Lord of Jade said this upfront.
Ling Yun smiled. “Lord of Jade, I will be back to claim this Green Dragon Out at Sea at midnight in two days' time. I'll be here at 3 am sharp to bring it away personally. When the time comes, I would like for you to send everyone else away. Don't worry, I won't take too long then…”
The Lord of Jade was thoroughly stunned!
At midnight in two days' time, he'd take it away at 3 am? And he wouldn't take a long time?
The Green Dragon Out at Sea was eight meters tall. The base statue itself was around three meters wide, and it weighed at least 20 tons. When it was s.h.i.+pped over, he had to hire two large cranes. After two hours or so, he finally managed to take it down from the truck. How did Ling Yun intend to take it away in such a short amount of time?
“Eh, little pal, are you afraid that I'll take back my words? Don't worry about that. I've really decided to give the Green Dragon Out at Sea to you, and I've made preparations too. Tomorrow morning, I'll arrange for someone to deliver the Green Dragon Out at Sea to your house. I'll cover the installation costs too. It'll take about one morning…”
The Lord of Jade wanted to cover everything. However, Ling Yun shook his head and replied, “Lord of Jade, I'm not worried that you'll take back your words, but I don't want to make this a big event. Leave this matter to me, what do you think?”
The Lord of Jade sensed that Ling Yun was even harder to read than he expected. However, he replied easily, “Sure! No problem!”
“Then, I'll extend my thanks to Boss Jade!” Ling Yun was fully satisfied. He gave the Lord of Jade a good reward too. “In the future, no matter how many Imperial green jades you intend to sell, I'll provide as much as you need. I'll calculate it according to the market price and sell it to you at a 10% discount. On top of that, you can pay me after you've sold everything and collected all your earnings!”
“What!” Hearing this, the Lord of Jade was thoroughly shocked. He nearly fell to the ground!
Sell it to him at a 10% discount? This was equivalent to giving the Lord of Jade one hundred million worth of Imperial green jade for free for every billion he ordered!
Furthermore, he'd provide him with as much stock as he sold. He could even pay for the goods after he earned the money!
“Little pal, this is…” The Lord of Jade was thoroughly shocked. For a moment, he didn't know what to do. He didn't understand why Ling Yun would give him such a huge benefit. Something like this would upgrade the Lord of Jade to a top-cla.s.s business merchant!
Furthermore, if the Lord of Jade was ruthless enough, he could make use of the low acquisition price to capture the entire Imperial green jade market. In no time, he would hold the largest market share. How many benefits would that create for him?
The Green Dragon Out at Sea gift wasn't for nothing!
Obviously, Ling Yun already understood that the Lord of Jade was a cunning, bright businessman that followed the rules. Without hesitation, he gave the Lord of Jade an amazing benefit and the opportunity to disrupt the balance of the market. At most, he would earn a little more.
“Then it's decided!”
Ling Yun smiled casually as he said this with a tone of finality.
After pausing for a moment, Ling Yun continued, “Lord of Jade, don't you have a serious arthritis condition? Last night, it rained. Now, the weather is clear. I believe you haven't had a good rest these past few days, right?”
The Lord of Jade was even more shocked by his words. He replied emotionally, “That's right! How could you tell?”
Ling Yun didn't respond to that. Instead, he smiled and took out the nine golden needles and said to the Lord of Jade, “Lord of Jade, I would say that I'm pretty well-versed in medicine. If you believe in me, how about you let me perform some acupuncture and see how it goes?”
Up until now, the Lord of Jade obviously knew that he was talking to the legendary miracle doctor. Nodding meekly, the gaze he directed at Ling Yun was nothing but grat.i.tude and admiration.
Ling Yun quickly used the Nine Needles of the Spiritual Pivot. He used spiritual energy to help the Lord of Jade regulate his body, not even spending a single minute before eliminating the Lord of Jade's arthritis condition completely.
Removing the needles, Ling Yun chuckled. “Lord of Jade, how do you feel now?”
His eyes widened as he stood up. Moving his arms and legs, he used his hands to push at several joints. Then, he exclaimed in shock, “Amazing! It doesn't hurt! I've recovered completely!”
“It's good that you've recovered. In the future, if you don't feel well, you can come straight to me! Then, I'll be leaving now! The people outside must be anxious from waiting!”
With that, Ling Yun immediately turned to leave the study.
“Thank you, benefactor!” Seeing Ling Yun was leaving, the Lord of Jade was so anxious that he was perspiring thoroughly. Extending his arm to pull Ling Yun back, he didn't manage to reach him. With a loud “bam”, he knelt straight to the ground instead, about to kowtow to Ling Yun.
Ling Yun quickly pulled him up and smiled. “It's just extending a helping hand. Lord of Jade, you don't have to respond like this. In the future, let's work hard and earn some money together…”
“From now on, I, Yu Shengjin, am willing to work night and day for little pal!” Yu Shengjin spoke each word seriously… he wasn't dumb.
Ling Yun smiled. “That's a matter for the future. We'll just work together to earn some money…” He smiled cheekily.
“I have two brothers outside. One of them is called Tang Meng, he's Qingshui City's Public Security Bureau Director's son. The other is called Tie Xiaohu, and right now, he's Green Dragon's boss. In the future, you can look for them if you run into any trouble. If they can't handle it, you can find me directly.”
With that, Ling Yun smiled and turned to open the door to the study to leave. Yu Shengjin's jaw dropped, and he was left alone in the room.
“This, aren't those the people who were brought by Song Zhengyang and Elder Murong? Why are the Public Security Bureau and Green Dragon here? The Public Security Bureau Director's son and Green Dragon's boss are his brothers?
“What the… a G.o.d at betting, and the ability to cure any illness instantly. He has his hands in every sector. What kind of person is this?”
Yu Shengjin was so shocked that he mumbled non-stop for a while. Then, he swallowed his saliva as his gaze turned impossibly st.u.r.dy in an instant. He walked out behind Ling Yun.
When they came out again, Ling Yun turned away all of the other guests' invitations. Taking Long Wu out, he was the first to leave as he returned to the courtyard.
Right now, Ling Yun was the largest moon amidst all the wealthiest merchants. All of them followed Ling Yun to the courtyard.
By this time, the skies were already completely dark.
The three carts of spiritual stones and emeralds that Ling Yun picked out were already delivered to Mansion Number One under Tie Xiaohu's supervision. This place was very close to Mansion Number One. After delivering those three carts of jewels, he had returned.
Furthermore, that amazing Dragon Stone Imperial green jade was also on the delivery truck. After the truck was fully loaded, the cargo hold was thoroughly protected, an extra horizontal lock was even added outside. It locked Tang Meng, that Imperial green jade, as well as the candied gourd inside.
These two items were far too valuable. Tang Meng didn't even dare to take his eyes off them. He took the initiative to request to be locked inside with them.
“Be careful on your way back. Hurry and take it back… after you're back, don't be in a rush to unload the truck. Lock the doors well and make sure the truck is secure,” Ling Yun said to Tie Xiaohu, who was outside the truck. This time, Tie Xiaohu was afraid that something would go wrong. He brought over 20 more Green Dragon disciples to watch over the truck.
With a situation like this, it was even more exaggerated than delivering military equipment.
The large delivery truck left the courtyard. Ling Yun, Long Wu, and the others streamed out and watched the delivery truck disappear into the night.
“Congratulations…”
Every person at the scene couldn't help but extend their blessing to Ling Yun. The envy in their eyes was obvious.
“Grandpa Murong, Uncle Song, how about we take the chance to leave now. I have other matters to attend to tonight…”
Ling Yun was prepared to leave. He intended to return at midnight.
“Ling Yun, why are you in such a rush to leave? How about you stay for dinner? I've even booked a restaurant!”
Song Zhengyang saw that Ling Yun was really about to leave and began to panic. He had many things to tell Ling Yun!
At this moment, one employee rushed into the courtyard, running all the way to the Lord of Jade.
“Boss, that Mr. Long from a few days back is here again. He says he wants to meet you…”
Hearing this, Yu Shengjin's brows furrowed tightly. He thought, This piece of trash is really back again…
“Just say that I'm not around!” Yu Shengjin said in a gruff voice.
“Even if the deal doesn't go through, there's still integrity. Boss Jade is obviously here, why would you hide from me like this?” Without even seeing the person, Ling Yun knew who it was when he heard the voice. It was Long Tianjiao!
The paths were narrow. He met his enemy once again!
Ling Yun's heart quivered a little. He was done betting long ago, so why was this guy here?
In the midst of his thoughts, Long Tianjiao had already appeared in the view of many onlookers. Looking at Ling Yun, who was the center of attention, as well as Long Wu, who was by his side, Long Tianjiao's expression turned sour!
However, Long Tianjiao returned to normal quickly. Looking at the middle-aged man who walked toward him, his gaze revealed confidence and pride. He began swaggering towards Ling Yun.
“Oh, what a surprise. Brother Ling is here too. What a coincidence!”
Long Tianjiao was obviously acting differently from usual. Even though his words were polite, the gaze he was directing at Ling Yun didn't have the goodwill and sucking up from before.
Ling Yun wasn't concerned with Long Tianjiao. His eyes were locked tightly onto that middle-aged man next to Long Tianjiao. This man had a unibrow, and his gaze carried a fierce look. His abilities were intentionally hidden. Even Ling Yun couldn't tell his level.
Ling Yun smiled proudly as he pulled Long Wu's skinny waist and walked straight towards them. He wanted to know what Long Tianjiao's purpose was in coming here.
“It is indeed a coincidence. Yu Ding Xuan's betting has come to an end. I wonder why you've made the trip here…”
Long Tianjiao didn't hide his intentions at all. He smiled casually and replied, “Oh, Uncle Cheng and I have come here to talk about a business deal with Boss Jade!”
With that, Long Tianjiao didn't spare another look at Ling Yun. Instead, he gave Long Wu a good once-over before he turned to Yu Shengjin. “Boss Jade, are you selling that Green Dragon Out at Sea or not?”
His tone was impossibly barbaric!
