Chapter 11
Hearing the name uttered by Lin Sheng, the shop owner's face darkened. He felt that Lin Sheng's words were full of sarcasm and he felt unhappy.
"Little girl, although my nickname is 'Black Dog,' I am still your senior in this circle. Let me warn you, my luck has always been excellent. Please show some respect to each other, and I will not let you lose too badly."
Lin Sheng curled the corners of his lips slightly, met Hei Gou's gaze, remained silent, and handed the gambling stone to the referee.
The black dog's face suddenly darkened, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Lin Sheng with an unfriendly gaze, feeling a surge of resentment in his heart.
Watching the referee start cutting, the people around him had different expressions, not daring to look directly at him. Someone whispered something,
"It's over. This little girl's gambling stone is small and full of holes. She's really lost this time."
As soon as the words fell, a cry of surprise came from the referee's mouth.
"This is the quality of this material. It's the first time I've seen such a pure color."
This sentence instantly aroused the curiosity of the people around, and they quickly stretched their necks to get a closer look.
The referee couldn't let go of the gambling stone in his hand, so he turned on the light and shone it on it. The surprise in his eyes was hard to conceal.
Everyone's attention was attracted in an instant.
The deep green luster is like the eye of the forest. The deep color makes people unable to look away, as if it wants to suck people in. There is only a thin layer of bubble pits on the surface, and the material inside is very pure and bright.
"I've never seen jade this pure. Even the jade worth tens of millions at the last auction wasn't as good as this! This girl is so lucky!"
Someone else stood aside and whispered,
"No matter how good the gambling stone material is, don't forget, Black Dog has never lost in gambling on stones. Do you think he would be willing to lose to a little girl who is an amateur?"
After a comparison, the shop owner's gambling stone instantly lost its luster. He felt panic for the first time and began to make excuses for himself.
"That was just a test run. The real competition hasn't started yet."
Hearing this, everyone's fantasy was instantly shattered, and they quickly withdrew their envious gazes towards Lin Sheng.
The momentary amazement made them temporarily forget the nature of the black dog.
Now the people with fangs bared and full of scoundrels are the true face of the black dog.
Lin Sheng took the lead and took back his gambling stone. He confronted the shop owner Hei Gou directly. He seemed to have expected the result. There was no surprise in his tone.
"You can have a dog name, but you can't really be a dog. Boss, are you refusing to admit your mistake? Are you trying to bully a layman like me?"
After hearing this, the others couldn't help but lean towards Lin Sheng.
"Black Dog, what you did was not fair. She's just a little girl, it's not nice to be so picky."
"That's right, this girl is really lucky. We all saw it, and it's too late to regret it."
This group of people are used to being bullied by the black dog, but they can't quit the addiction. Today, they meet someone who stands out, so naturally everyone protects him and wants to see the black dog suffer a loss.
Several bodyguards came forward and surrounded Lin Sheng, looking aggressive, as if a fight would start in the next second.
Chen Ming quickly stood in front of Lin Sheng, swallowed his saliva, and felt a wave of fear in his heart. He was usually a coward, but he also wanted to protect Lin Sheng, so he bravely shouted,
"You guys set the rules for gambling on stones from the very beginning, but now you're not honoring them? Do you still have any laws? We live in a society ruled by law now."
Black Dog withdrew his coercive power, waved his hand, signaled the bodyguards to retreat, and spoke in a tone of feigned kindness.
"I'm not planning on doing anything. You're lucky this time, and I, Black Dog, admire you. But little girl, you can leave, but you have to pay back the loan first."
Seeing the black dog let go, everyone's hearts slowly settled down.
"Okay. Everyone, please bear witness for me. He said that as long as I pay back the money, I can leave this store."
Lin Sheng smiled, and a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes as he looked at him. He stood on the chair, raised the gambling stone high, and shouted to everyone,
"I'm selling this stone. The highest bidder gets it! Starting bid: one million."
As soon as the words fell, everyone looked at each other with different thoughts, until the first person stood up and responded to the price.
"I'll give you one million and a half!"
When the others saw this, they all raised their hands and started bidding.
"I'll give you two million!"
"I'll give you two and a half million!"
......
The price continued to rise. Hei Gou took it all in. There was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes and a gloomy aura around him. He never expected that Lin Sheng would actually dare to sell stones in front of him. It was clear that he did not take him seriously.
Lin Sheng didn't care about Heigou's face at all. Since Heigou had set a trap for her, she would return it all to him and give Heigou a slap in the face!
The price had risen to five million at this time, and many people could no longer afford it, so the voices of bidding gradually decreased.
Seeing this, Black Dog suddenly raised his hands and shouted to everyone,
"Eight million. I'll pay you eight million for your stone, little girl. Instead of selling it to them, you might as well sell it to me. The loan can be deducted directly from this, saving you the trouble."
Lin Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of joy on his face, and looking at the gloomy face of the black dog, he slowly spoke,
"Don't worry, I'm not afraid of trouble. I won't sell this stone to you, boss, so don't bother bidding against them."
The black dog was startled, and the anxiety in his heart could not be hidden, and it was clearly revealed on his face. He stood up suddenly,
"Why won't you sell to me? Are you targeting me? This is my shop. I don't think anyone else would dare to buy from me!"
Lin Sheng didn't take his words to heart at all, ignored him, and continued to shout to the crowd,
"Anyone else want to raise the price? Five million for the first time, five million for the second time..."
"I'll give you six million!"
Someone raised the price again, and the others followed suit.
......
Lin Sheng finally set a price and sold the gambling stone for 12 million, and the money and goods were handed over on the spot.
When Hei Gou saw this scene, he was extremely angry, but with so many people present, he didn't dare to attack Lin Sheng rashly. He stared at Lin Sheng with an unfriendly look.
Lin Sheng paid back the loan on the spot, saw the opportunity to tear up the IOU, turned around and was about to leave, but was surrounded by several bodyguards.
"Black Dog, what do you mean? Are you trying to deny it in front of everyone?"
The black dog's face was gloomy at this moment, and a chill was emanating from his body. He raised his eyes and looked at Lin Sheng.
"The money has been repaid. Now, it's time to discuss our personal affairs. You've been selling stones in my shop so openly and deliberately excluded me. This shows that you sincerely don't want to do business with me."
Hearing Hei Gou's confident tone, Lin Sheng was no longer afraid.
If Lin Sheng had sold the stone to Hei Gou, no one would have dared to raise the price so easily. After all, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. Anyone would have to restrain themselves when on someone else's territory.
But the person Black Dog met happened to be Lin Sheng.
Lin Sheng laughed out loud when he heard this, and directly pointed out the reason.
"If I sell it to you, I'll get eight million and have to pay you back one million. No one else will dare to raise the price, so I'll be at a huge disadvantage. Boss, you're a businessman, and harmony brings wealth. But you insist on cutting off my source of income first. No one would be able to swallow this."
The black dog's expression was slightly touched, as if he had not expected Lin Sheng to be so smart.
"I thought you were a simple layman, but I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful despite your young age. Even if you don't sell it to me, do you think you can walk out of this door today?"
As soon as he finished speaking, several bodyguards took a step forward and pressed Lin Sheng step by step, and the atmosphere at the scene dropped to freezing point.
Just as the two sides were about to start fighting, they heard a commotion outside the door and someone shouted,
"The police are coming! Run!"
Before everyone could react, a figure appeared at the door of Shifang Shop, and a familiar and cold voice reached Lin Sheng's ears.
"Boss Hei, the store is quite busy today."
Black Dog raised his eyes, his expression slightly shocked, a little nervousness arose in his heart, he immediately stood up and walked to the door, picked up the tea beside him, and handed it to Xu Guannan personally, his tone changed from the arrogant just now,
"So it's Officer Xu. How come you have time to come here today?"
Xu Guannan didn't take the cup of tea in front of him. He glanced around the store and saw Lin Sheng surrounded by four big men. He noticed the heavy box in her hands and roughly guessed the situation.
"There are female customers today? That's rare, but the black boss's way of treating customers is a bit radical."
Black Dog understood the meaning behind the words and blamed his subordinates.
"You four, you can't even move when you see a pretty girl, and you don't even come to say hello to Officer Xu?"
The four big men moved their steps, temporarily letting Lin Sheng go, and greeted Xu Guannan in unison.
"Hello, Officer Xu."
Xu Guannan looked at the four people and spoke in a casual tone.
"Boss Hei, when did you get four more bodyguards? I didn't see them the last time I came."
Black Dog was startled, his scalp tingling a little, and he completely forgot about Lin Sheng. He just wanted to get rid of Xu Guannan, the King of Hell, as soon as possible.
"Officer Xu, the last time you were here was three months ago. The store has been very busy lately, and I'm worried something might be lost, so I'm looking for them to help."
There were a lot of people in the store, lining up from inside to outside. The lively gambling scene just now attracted a lot of spectators.
While the black dog was not paying attention, Lin Sheng threw a crumpled talisman paper under the table, quietly hid in the crowd, groped his way to the door of the store, and slipped out.
"You want to attack me, but you don't even ask for my name. I'm going to make you suffer!"
After saying that, Lin Sheng picked up the suitcase and walked away in a swagger, thinking about what to eat and completely forgetting the phone call last night.
Xu Guannan glanced around and saw that Lin Sheng was gone. He breathed a sigh of relief and continued to talk to Hei Gou.
"It looks like all four of them have practiced before. The black boss's eye for selecting people is as sharp as gambling on stones."
The smile on Heigou's face suddenly froze. He suddenly recalled Lin Sheng who had just caused trouble. He quickly looked around, but did not see anyone. His veins bulged in anger, but because Xu Guannan was still there, he could only force out an awkward smile.
"Boss Hei, I'm done with my inspection and it's time for me to leave. I'll come back next time."
After sending Xu Guannan away, Hei Gou realized that something was wrong. He grabbed a teacup beside him and threw it to the ground.
"Damn it, these two are in cahoots! Why don't you chase them out and bring that woman back to me!"
