"I'm sorry, all our seeds have been bought."
The shopkeeper selling herb seeds looked at Lin Yang and Wang Yuwei with a troubled expression and smiled apologetically.
"Did you buy it all? Is there nothing left?"
Wang Yuwei couldn't believe that such a large place didn't have a single herb market or a single place selling seeds.
Yes, it's an entire market.
The two of them have been shopping from morning till noon, but they haven't bought a single seed yet.
As soon as they arrived, the owner would say that the seeds were sold out.
Lin Yang took a deep breath and looked sharply at the stall owner.
"Boss, tell me the truth, what really happened?"
Lin Yang could understand if a stall was sold out.
Lin Yang could only say it was a coincidence that both stalls were sold out.
But if there's not an entire market, then it can only mean that someone is sabotaging things.
Even if Lin Yang were an idiot, he would have figured it out by now, let alone the fact that Lin Yang is not an idiot.
The boss, who was being questioned, awkwardly touched his chin, not knowing how to explain, and could only avoid Lin Yang's gaze.
"Boss, if you're not going to sell to us, at least tell us what's going on."
Wang Yuwei was also a little anxious. She spoke softly and coquettishly to her boss, trying to use her personal charm to persuade him to give in.
The boss avoided Wang Yuwei's gaze and dared not speak.
Just then, the owner of the stall next door spoke up.
"Alright, alright, what's wrong with telling them? The boss didn't say we can't tell them."
The male boss looked at Wang Yuwei and Lin Yang with pity.
"Children, you have offended someone."
Lin Yang sighed, "Just as I thought."
"Could you tell us who it is?" Lin Yang asked politely.
"He was a tall, thin young man with a Chinese face, but he spoke fluent American English."
"His Chinese is also as broken and hesitant as those little golden retrievers."
Based on the boss's description, Lin Yang immediately guessed who the person was.
It's John.
Lin Yang narrowed his eyes. He had thought John had given up, but he didn't expect John to be waiting for him here.
"I understand, thank you, boss."
After Lin Yang finished speaking, he turned and left.
Since I can't buy them anyway, there's no point in staying here any longer.
Wang Yuwei was still somewhat unwilling.
"Uncle, please sell it to us. We'll pay double whatever he asks for. We're not short of money."
Wang Yuwei pleaded.
Lin Yang tugged at Wang Yuwei's sleeve: "Alright, Weiwei, don't make things difficult for the old man."
Wang Yuwei was unwilling to accept this.
“But how can we buy seeds to grow medicinal herbs when he’s like this?”
Lin Yang remained calm and composed: "There's more than one medicinal herb market in the world."
At worst, they can just run away.
"Pfft."
A laugh came from not far away.
Lin Yang frowned and looked coldly toward Wang.
"John!"
Wang Yuwei recognized the person who came and gritted her teeth.
John glanced at Wang Yuwei indifferently, seemingly oblivious to her beauty.
"It's me."
John looked at Lin Yang provocatively.
"So? This is the price you pay for rejecting me!"
"Now that you've agreed to sell the medicinal herb base to me, I'm willing to buy it at half the original price."
"You'll lose less too."
“If this drags on any longer, I can only watch your medicinal herb base continue to lose money until you have no choice but to sell it at a huge loss.”
John smiled smugly, as if he could already see Lin Yang kneeling down and begging for his forgiveness.
The smile on his lips was impossible to suppress.
Lin Yang looked at John indifferently, as if he were looking at a clown.
Is this all you're capable of?
Lin Yang's tone was not sarcastic, but it was more insulting than direct mockery.
That indifferent gaze, that dismissive yet somewhat amused attitude, was like that of a spectator watching a clown perform from a high platform.
It's as if God is looking down on ants.
"What kind of look is that?!"
John was momentarily enraged by Lin Yang's gaze.
Lin Yang had no intention of getting entangled with John and turned to leave without hesitation.
"snort."
Wang Yuwei gave John a mocking look, then took Lin Yang's arm and left.
"Honey, let's not buy it here anymore, let's go somewhere else."
Lin Yang gently ruffled Wang Yuwei's hair and replied with an "okay".
John Lin Yang and Wang Yuwei's oblivious interaction made him grit his teeth in anger.
"Damn it!"
Do you think you can buy things elsewhere?
"Let me tell you the truth, I have people watching over every medicinal herb market and even every flower market."
"You'll leave empty-handed; you won't buy anything!"
"The same applies to the materials needed for cultivating other medicinal herbs."
“I have completely monopolized everything in this place.”
John looked smug and confident of victory.
"It doesn't matter where you go, it's all the same!"
Wang Yuwei tightened her grip on Lin Yang's hand, looking at him with concern.
Lin Yang gave Wang Yuwei a reassuring look and continued walking forward.
Regardless of the circumstances, Lin Yang would never admit defeat to an American scumbag.
He didn't sell before simply because he needed a medicinal herb base.
Refusing to sell now would be a gamble with the dignity of being a Chinese person!
"Sorry, we don't sell."
"Sorry, we're out of stock."
"We have stock, no, we're out of stock."
