Godly Farmer - C24
Looking at Zhang Xiaoloong’s confident smile, Chen Yaru was also confused for a moment. Was it really a fake?
Lee Donghua and Chen Zhaomin looked at each other. They didn’t know what Zhang Xiaoloong was up to, so they could only keep quiet and see how this matter would end.
The only thing that made the two of them feel more at ease was that Zhang Xiaoloong didn’t act impulsively and was already prepared to respond.
“What do you want to bet?” Wang Changyu was elated. He was just looking for a chance to embarrass this brat when this guy ran into the gun himself.
“It’s very simple. If I prove that this is not a valuable artifact, then I will consider it my victory. Otherwise, I will lose.” Zhang Xiaoloong gave a concise answer.
Wang Changyu quietly glanced at Xu Shaoning and confirmed the expression on his face. He immediately became courageous, “Fine, I’ll bet with you, but… Other than your clothes, is there anything else you can bet on? ”
“Hehe, it seems like Young Master Yu has his eyes on my clothes. How much do you think those clothes are worth?” Zhang Xiaoloong asked.
“It’s only twenty thousand dollars.” Wang Changyu said in disdain.
“Alright, then I’ll bet twenty thousand dollars with this set of clothes.” Zhang Xiaoloong said.
Wang Changyu immediately stretched his ears. “I didn’t hear wrongly did I? If you lose, you have to take off all your clothes on the spot and walk out of here naked.”
“That’s right, if you lose, then you lose twenty thousand to me.” Zhang Xiaoloong said plainly.
“Hahaha …” Wang Changyuwan didn’t expect such an easy target. He didn’t even use any provocation, but the other party already jumped onto his hook, “Okay, that’s it. If you win, I’ll give you one hundred thousand yuan.”
“No need, I like fairness the most. I’ll bet twenty thousand dollars on you winning twenty thousand dollars.” Zhang Xiaoloong didn’t want to take advantage of the other party at all.
“Alright, that’s what you said.” Wang Changyu was afraid that Zhang Xiaoloong would act shamelessly later on, so he hurriedly looked to the side, “Mr. Lee, President Chen, and everyone here, we are all witnesses.”
Even now, Lee Donghua still couldn’t figure out what Zhang Xiaoloong wanted to do, and Chen Zhaomin naturally did as well. However, since both sides had reached this point, they had no choice but to gamble and could only nod their heads in agreement.
“Alright, you can begin to prove it now,” Wang Changyu shook his head proudly. “Don’t blame me for not reminding you, don’t think of using a hammer to break it. Even if it breaks, it will still be emerald and won’t turn into plastic.”
“Please lend me a lighter,” Zhang Xiaoloong said. “I’m afraid you’ll say that I cheated, so the verification materials will be provided by you.”
“Don’t even mention a lighter, I’ll get you a flock of flying turkeys even if you want them.” Wang Changyu was waiting for a show, nobody could stop him from humiliating this little peasant who didn’t know his place.
Seeing that she was serious, Chen Yaru couldn’t help but reach out to hold Zhang Xiaoloong’s hand while he patted the back of her hand with a smile and calmly took the lighter.
For some reason, when Chen Yaru saw the other party, she immediately calmed down and stood there patiently, waiting for something to happen.
Zhang Xiaoloong wiped his lighter and turned the ignition switch to its maximum capacity. He pressed it and the flame appeared five to six centimeters away.
He was satisfied with the height of the flame, so he reached out with his other hand and picked up the piece of jade that was said to be worth millions.
“Hey, don’t tell me you want to use the fire?” Wang Changyu teased.
“You’re right. As long as you burn these artifacts, they can be identified instantly.” Zhang Xiaoloong nodded.
“This is simply nonsense. If we were to use fire to burn it, the several million jade pieces would be destroyed.”
“It seems like this brat did it on purpose. Could it be that we, the Jadeite, can see through it with a single glance? Could it be that we really treat the plastic as jadeite?”
“But destroying it is useless. Even if the jade is destroyed, this brat will still lose. In the end, he will still be the one to make a fool of himself. I really don’t know what he wants to do.”
There was a saying among the people that one could burn their hair on a piece of jade and leave it on fire. However, this method was not reliable at all.
Zhang Xiaoloong was even more direct, he didn’t even have his hair tied …
Everyone was discussing and couldn’t understand why Zhang Xiaoloong would do such a self-harming thing.
Seeing that he was about to burn the jade on top of the fire, Xu Shaoning suddenly opened his mouth: “There’s no need to burn it, Wang Changyu should also cancel the bet, Zhang Xiaoloong is Yaru’s friend, and today is Wang Family’s party, so he has to give Yaru face no matter what.”
Wang Changyu immediately smiled apologetically: “Young Master Xu, for your sake, I can’t not give face to Miss Chen. However, this brat insisted that your several million of jade was fake and I really can’t bear to see it, but since Young Master Xu asked, as long as he bowed his head and apologized to you, we can let this matter go.”
Yaru, “Xu Shaoning seemed to be a bit troubled as he looked over,” This is definitely a real piece of jade, do you think I would give a fake thing to my beloved girl? “I don’t want to embarrass you, so you should try to persuade Mr. Zhang.”
Of course, Young Master Xu wouldn’t think that it was fake, otherwise, he wouldn’t buy it back as a gift, “Zhang Xiaoloong didn’t give Chen Yaru a chance to talk, so he immediately continued,” But right now, the techniques to forge a fake are too brilliant, sometimes even experts can’t avoid making mistakes, they can only say that Young Master Xu was carelessly tricked.
F * ck, this brat still wants to show off, “Wang Changyu was happy in his heart, but he pretended to be furious, and even blurted out vulgarities,” Young Master Xu, don’t stop me, I’m just not used to seeing these daffodils not blooming and acting like poor bastards with big heads. You can burn it, but today you have to burn it, or else you’ll just take off your clothes and crawl out from here.
Xu Shaoning waved his hands towards Chen Yaru, indicating that he was powerless. However, the other party didn’t even look at him and only stared at the jade in Zhang Xiaoloong’s hand.
The atmosphere became tense, and in the spacious hall, everyone stopped talking, interested to see the final result.
Zhang Xiaoloong unhurriedly set the engine and moved the flame under the jadeite.
When the firelight shone on it, the emerald appeared a little brighter. However, the person holding the fire engine didn’t feel bad at all and directly burned the flames.
“Haha, you idiot, do you really think that you can burn jade to stone? Or do you think you can burn it to ashes with just a little fire and no one will be able to recognize it? ” Wang Changyu looked at the flames. Other than the jadeite’s slightly blackened surface, there was no change. He immediately laughed out loud, “I really don’t want to give you face. It’s better if you do it obediently …”
His words came to an abrupt stop, Wang Changyu almost popped his eyeballs out.
Zhang Xiaoloong burned it for dozens of seconds before he moved the fire away. He blew on the jadeite and pressed down the temperature with his fingers. Then … The jade was squashed flat!
