Just as Luo Yunhang was at his wit's end, a man accidentally bumped into his back.
The polite middle-aged man apologized and then asked, "Sir, do you want to buy Hainan Huanghuali?"
Luo Yunhang looked him up and down: "You have it? I need a lot!"
"I know, come with me, I guarantee you'll be satisfied!" The man had been eyeing him for a while. Luo Yunhang had asked at least eight or ten companies that morning and had even talked to a few, but they still couldn't agree on a price.
Luo Yunhang hesitated for a moment, thinking that he was a young and strong man with good fighting skills, so why would he be afraid of him? What if he really had the goods?
I decided to go and see for myself.
The man must have lived nearby; he wandered around and turned into an alley.
They stopped in front of a vermilion door and knocked.
A woman with a limp walked over and opened the door: "You're back?" She then glanced at Luo Yunhang behind her.
Luo Yunhang nodded awkwardly as a greeting.
The man went in first: "This gentleman is here to look at the goods. I'll take him over. You go and prepare some tea and snacks." He was clearly speaking to the woman.
The woman obediently replied, "Okay."
The man led Luo Yunhang straight to the door of a room, opened it and went inside. There were many boxes of various sizes inside. He casually opened a large box and pointed it out to Luo Yunhang: "Look, these are all top-quality Hainan Huanghuali, stored for many years."
As soon as Luo Yunhang entered the room, he smelled the unique fragrance of Hainan Huanghuali. It was slightly fragrant and slightly bitter, and the aroma was addictive.
After touching and examining it closely, I found that it was indeed Hainan Huanghuali, and it was even a purple oil pear.
Hainan Huanghuali comes in two varieties: "Kangli" and "Youli". Kangli has beautiful grain, Youli has good oil content, and Ziyouli is the aristocrat among Youli.
Its texture is like flowing clouds and water, ever-changing, with patterns such as ghost faces, ghost eyes, spider patterns, water ripples, tiger stripes, wheat ear patterns, and landscape patterns.
It feels smooth to the touch, with a texture as natural and silky as a baby's skin.
The man continued to open other boxes, which were also full of Hainan rosewood, in various colors, and all of them were of the highest quality.
Luo Yunhang thoroughly enjoyed watching and was determined to acquire them no matter what.
Once the authenticity of the Hainan Huanghuali has been confirmed, it's time to discuss the price.
The man said, "Sir, have you made your decision? Then please come with me to the living room and sit down to talk. The price is negotiable. To be honest, I am selling my family's heirloom Hainan Huanghuali because my family urgently needs money."
He seemed sincere in his words, so Luo Yunhang didn't think much of it.
The two entered the reception room, where the lame woman had already prepared tea and snacks.
"Young man, please have some tea!" The man pointed to the teacup in front of Luo Yunhang, then picked up the tea in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.
Luo Yunhang also felt a bit thirsty. He picked up his teacup and was about to drink when he heard an alarm.
"Please note that the system has detected dangerous ingredients in the tea in the host's hand."
Luo Yunhang's hand, which was holding the teacup, trembled almost imperceptibly.
The next second, he calmly picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp.
A triumphant smile flashed in the man's eyes.
After finishing the tea, it was time to start discussing the price.
"These Hainan Huanghuali pieces are all high-quality goods passed down from my ancestors. There are about a thousand catties of material in total. If we calculate it as a whole, at five hundred yuan per catty, you can take these pieces away if you come up with five hundred thousand yuan!" Seeing that he had drunk the tea, the man felt relieved and spoke without any restraint.
"Five hundred thousand? You're robbing me!" Luo Yunhang slammed his hand on the table. "The best materials on the market only cost a little over three hundred, and you're asking for five hundred?"
In later generations, Hainan Huanghuali was sold by the gram, but now it's not so scarce and is sold by the kilogram.
The man's eyes flashed with a fierce light: "This is the price here!"
Luo Yunhang got up to leave, but suddenly stumbled and collapsed onto the table.
The man, no longer the refined gentleman he had been, stood up with a wicked grin and said to the limping woman, "Go check if he has any money in his bag. I had a vague feeling that it was money."
The woman inspected the bag on Luo Yunhang's back.
The man reached out and unfastened the watch off Luo Yunhang's wrist, holding it in his hand for a moment: "We've found a big fish in the sea today. Do you know how much this watch is worth? It's an imported Rolex, worth over 100,000 yuan. Even if we sell it for tens of thousands of yuan, it'll be enough for us to use for a long time."
The woman grinned happily.
"It really is money! Honey, you're amazing! How did you know there was money in there?" The woman pulled out several stacks of cash from her bag.
"Five bundles, fifty thousand yuan!" the woman exclaimed in surprise.
The man smiled smugly: "Do I need to say anything about your man's sharp eyes? I could tell he was no ordinary person just by looking at the watch on his wrist. I deliberately bumped into his back and felt several stacks of hard bills. It was definitely money. I was right."
The two then emptied Luo Yunhang's pockets of loose change and took the mobile phone from his bag. They ransacked everything.
"This is a huge profit! Trust me, right? Selling those Hainan rosewoods is just a one-off deal, worth at most two or three hundred thousand, but with these things, we can keep finding plenty of easy money." The man held a wad of cash in his hand.
"That's true, but I'm still very worried. If you walk by the river long enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet. How about we do this a few more times and then sell these Hainan rosewoods and call it quits? We can find a place to settle down and live a peaceful life." The woman said worriedly.
"That's just a woman's perspective!" The man gave her an annoyed look. "Hurry up and get a rope to tie him up and put him in the bucket! We'll send him away in the middle of the night, and then everything will be fine."
Upon hearing this, the woman had no choice but to go find a rope.
Luo Yunhang never expected that his simple desire to buy a piece of Hainan rosewood would lead him into a den of thieves, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself.
He had just received a system notification, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
However, recalling the system notifications he received each time, he knew that the substance in the tea was probably not fatal, but rather something that would cause him to faint. Otherwise, the system notifications would have indicated a life-threatening situation.
In that instant, an idea struck him: he wanted to see what these two were up to.
So he pretended to drink the tea, but in reality he had poured it into the miniature space and never actually put it in his mouth.
Unexpectedly, these two people were using sea buckthorn for fishing.
Seeing that the woman was about to tie him up with a rope, Luo Yunhang stopped pretending to be unconscious. As the woman got closer, he knocked her down with a backhand punch.
He then immediately dealt with the man.
These two people weren't very strong, and they were taken care of in no time.
Within minutes, the situation inside the room underwent a dramatic transformation.
The two men were tied up by Luo Yunhang, turning from executioners into lambs to the slaughter, trembling with fear. They never expected to run into such a tough opponent this time.
