Seeing this, Ouyang Ming had no choice but to continue speaking.
“I came here to apologize to you… Yes, to apologize again, and to beg for forgiveness, to ask you to let me go. In prison, I thought a lot, and it was indeed my fault. I’m sorry! I failed to raise my son well, and I couldn’t control my wife. My son did wrong, and I also have a lot of problems. My family has let you down. So, my current situation is all my own fault.”
"I have nothing left... I just want to survive, please let me go."
As Ouyang Ming was saying these things, suddenly his knees buckled and he knelt down on the ground with a "thud".
Seeing Ouyang Ming's pathetic state, with tears streaming down his face and looking particularly weak, no one in the room spoke.
Ouyang Ming pleaded for a long time, but seeing that Chen Dong still didn't speak, he stopped crying and stole a glance at him, his eyes full of pleading.
"Did I say I was going to deal with you? Or did I do anything? No, I didn't!" Chen Dong said mockingly.
“Yes, most…” Ouyang Ming mumbled.
"Since you went to prison, our feud is considered settled..." Chen Dong said calmly. "As for your escape from prison, that's not your responsibility. If I wanted trouble, I should have gone to the Hong Kong police, right? Meeting you here is fate, I suppose."
“Yes, yes, yes!” Ouyang Ming said repeatedly, “We are destined to meet, truly destined to meet.”
As he spoke, sweat dripped down his face, making him look particularly disheveled.
Chen Dong simply looked at him calmly.
After a long pause, he said, "But the tree may wish to be still, but the wind will not cease!"
Ouyang Ming kept his head down and didn't speak, giving the impression that he was thinking about what Chen Dong meant by saying that.
However, Ouyang Ming knew there was no other way, because he was worried that Chen Dong's senses were too sharp and that he would notice the discrepancy between his words and expressions.
"I wonder if you are aware that the young master Shang you are currently following has some grudges with Old Qin?"
“Yes, I didn’t know that before!” Ouyang Ming answered almost without hesitation. “However, I did guess something from the way you looked at Mr. Qin. I just felt that what he said to Mr. Qin yesterday was a bit strange.”
"Later, I asked the young master, but he didn't say anything and even scolded me."
Of course, what Ouyang Ming said was a lie.
He was just discussing with Shang Yanfei how to deal with Lao Qin and his group.
They've even sent people to contact mercenaries.
Moreover, Shang Yanfei may appear polite, but she is actually ruthless.
He sent people to contact mercenaries, not only to deal with Lao Qin, but also to deal with Chen Dong.
In his view, Chen Dong, as a wealthy man, must be very rich to be here gambling on stones. If he could win over Chen Dong, he might be able to make a fortune.
Although he had no direct contact with Chen Dong, Shang Yanfei did not think Chen Dong was an easy opponent.
Meanwhile, Ouyang Ming's viewpoint also corroborates this opinion.
Especially after Ouyang Ming mentioned his crushing defeat in the financial market battle with Chen Dong, and how Chen Dong used various means to drive him to ruin, Zhang Yanfei realized that Chen Dong was not only highly intelligent but also ruthless and merciless towards his enemies.
He considers himself to have performed quite well in the business world.
The merchant family was a well-known wealthy family in Southeast Asia, so Shang Yanfei spent a lot of money to increase the number of mercenaries and strengthen their firepower.
They came up with various ways to reduce Chen Dong and his group's wariness and aversion towards them.
Shang Yanfei was overjoyed when he heard Ouyang Ming's suggestion. He patted Ouyang Ming on the shoulder twice and said, "Haha, not bad! Actually, I think you could be my strategist. You're more than capable of giving me advice!"
Then, he generally approved of Ouyang Ming's proposed solution.
Shang Yanfei and his team's first step was to appease Chen Dong and lower his guard.
Therefore, Ouyang Ming's act of begging Chen Dong for mercy at this moment was entirely a ploy to mislead Chen Dong and his group.
Chen Dong thought for a moment and said, "Alright, it's better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester. As long as you don't cause trouble, I won't go after you."
As soon as Chen Dong uttered those words, Ouyang Ming's face immediately lit up with a smile, and he said to him, "Thank you, thank you so much! You are so magnanimous, you can forgive a tyrant! I will definitely advise the young master whether or not he should become your enemy!"
"In this way, Singaporean businesses can preserve their livelihood! Also, I will report anything that happens to you promptly, and I hope you can give me a chance to continue to atone for my sins!"
"Atoning? No need for that! Just don't mess with me! Go back and focus on your work and live your life."
Ouyang Ming expressed his gratitude once again.
His facial expressions, gestures, and words perfectly conveyed this emotion.
Although everyone knows that Ouyang Ming is untrustworthy in many ways, especially when he speaks, he always unconsciously scratches his head or blinks repeatedly.
Chen Dong, who had studied psychology, could tell from Ouyang Ming's behavior that he was lying.
However, Chen Dong did not expose him, but said a few more words to him before letting him leave.
As they watched Ouyang Ming slowly walk away with his hunched back, neither Chen Dong nor Wolong said a word.
It can be said that Ouyang Ming truly embodies the huge contrast between a person's peak and trough.
“Boss, this guy can’t be trusted,” Wolong said to Chen Dong.
“Indeed, I think his words are untrue and there are many contradictions,” the fox added from the side.
Chen Dong nodded. "I know, this is a counter-strategy." He paused for a moment and then continued, "Ouyang Ming probably knew that I wouldn't easily trust him, but he still came."
"Pretend to be unable to do what they can. They probably have some ideas and might take some action, so we still need to be vigilant!"
"Heh, the Shang guy sent Ouyang Ming to handle this, really..." Chen Dong laughed, extremely disdainful.
Indeed, everyone laughed.
The auction officially began the following day.
Just as Lao Qin said, the raw stones on those tables were indeed for open bidding, and the auction venue was also set up in this area.
To address this, the organizers cleared out an open space.
However, relatively speaking, the place is still quite small.
The area was packed with chairs, forcing many people to sit in the nearby aisles.
Perhaps this is a strategy employed by the organizers to make the scene appear more exciting.
However, this makes it more difficult for the people sitting here.
Even with the fan on inside, they still felt hot.
The temperature in Yangon has dropped a bit in the past few days compared to the previous days.
The atmosphere here has become incredibly lively.
However, the stones photographed were all relatively small and seemed to have a good chance of being sold.
Sure enough, soon many people started fighting over it.
