Chapter 328: Demand.
Hao Ren returned to the hostel, and he began to cultivate, with his eyes closed, and he began to absorb spiritual energy from the surroundings as quickly as he can, and created a vortex above his place.
In the middle of the night, he received a call from Xiao Mei. He raised his eyebrow and connected, knowing that the girl would not bother him as long it was not important.
Xiao Mei did not wait for him to greet and said, "Young Master Hao, I just found out, someone put an open contract on uncle and aunty. The amount is one million."
Hao Ren smiled and said, "Do not panic, put a counter contract, the one of safety, reward five million. The top assassins will pick the mission, at the same time, track the movements of the assassins and use your means to report them to the cops or the special forces. I will give you a number, you can coordinate with that person to get aid."
Xiao Mei sighed and said, "Ye Jian want to go and check if he can handle these pricks. He will kill them properly."
Hao Ren nodded and said, "Hmm, if he can get a leave, tell him to take Xiao Si along, that girl must be feeling very restless with both of you working around while she has to sit down."
Xiao Si snatched the phone and said, "I knew you will understand me, can you tell her to give us the mean machines. We are well trained by you, how can we misuse them? Don't we know the impact these things will have on us if we are discovered."
Hao Ren replied with a smile and said, "Always double check the strategies you make and then cross check with each other, before you get to the enemy, and study his recent works. Understood?"
Your journey continues at empire
Xiao Si agreed and Hao Ren gave the word. Ye Jian and Xiao Si were most likely leave the capital to head back home for a small holiday and handle the threats, while Xiao Mei stayed in the capital to assist Hao Ren checking everything that was going around on this topic.
...
The next day after the school finished, Hao Ren discussed this with attorney they hired and asked Xiao Mei to authorize the developers they hired to make the payment app. In the meantime, Hao Ren finished the meeting and Han Lingshi called him.
He picked up the call while walking through the crowd and she said, "Ren, I swear I will beat the shit out of this guy."
The young man asked, "What happened?"
Han Lingshi replied, "That Bai Yulong sent a gift ahead of my birthday, and my father is very happy, he wants me to thank the guy personally. I don't even want that gift."
Hao Ren sighed and said, "Is he around? Your father?"
Han Lingshi asked, "Why, what do you want to do?"
The young man smiled and replied, "I will give him a word of advice."
Han Lingshi sighed and answered, "Forget it, knowing him this won't turn any better for us. You better get me something better than that guy. He got me a old painting, like what will I do?"
*Ding: Host, the task has been assigned, get a gift that shocks the world and puts Bai Yulong in his place.*
Hao Ren nodded with a smile and replied, "Yes, I will get you something way better than that punk."
The call disconnected after a few minutes, and then the young man sighed as he looked at the sky. He walked up to the taxi and looking at the old man there, he said, "Master, can you send me to the stone market?"
The old man was surprised and said, "Kid, do you want to bet?"
Hao Ren shook his head innocently and said, "My father works there as a cutter, I need to meet me, he is going to show me Jade, I have a school project to write."
The old man nodded and said, "Good boy, you should study hard. Come."
Hao Ren got in the car with a smile. He might not act like it, but his face was still tender, and the older people were not easy to fool. In the past, when he and Ye Jian tried to do this in their town, the cab driver drove them to Hao Xinyuan's office and they were scolded. So, Hao Ren learned the lesson and decided to use the soothsaying skill this time around.
After half an hour they reached the place, and Hao Ren got off. He paid the taxi and entered the market. This place was filled with antique dealers and jade dealers. There were also shops where you could pay money for a raw stone, and try your luck. Hao Ren made a beeline to a jade shop, and his arrival caught a lot of gazes.
The young man was used to this and he did not mind what the people thought of him. After looking at a few jades, he began to think what was going on when a calm voice sounded beside him, "Little brother, are you also looking for something."
Hao Ren nodded, and then turned to look at the person, it was a young lady in her mid-twenties. He then did not say anything but turned to the raw stone stall on the side, and began to stare at them. The young lady had an amused reaction on her face. She was exceptionally beautiful but while other young people could not get enough of her, but this guy was completely unbothered.
Hao Ren picked up two pieces as big as melons and paid two thousand yuan online, under the shocked eyes of the shopkeeper and the other people. He then looked at the cutter and walked over there.
The cutter was an experienced man, and watched Hao Ren place the two stones before him and the young man said, "Master, can I get some chalk?"
The people were now amused and while some chuckled, some of them were looking around to find where a camera was hidden. However, Hao Ren did not bother with anyone. He took the chalk and drew some lines on the stones, as he said, "Master, please cut along the lines."
The middle-aged man chuckled and said, "Yes. As you ask, Young Jade King."
The surrounding people chuckled, and Hao Ren stood their with his hands crossed before his chest. The man began to carefully cut along the lines and after a few moments, when the window was made, he looked through and his hands shivered. He took a massive gulp and one of the spectators said, "Master, tell us what is going on? Is it a dud?"
The master shook his head and turned the window for the people to see, and the crowd fell silent, before they erupted completely, "It's White Jade!"
"Fuck, I see wealth, his ancestors must be laughing madly."
Such remarks, kept on, and Hao Ren said, "Master, the second stone."
He did not wait for the people to calm down. A middle-aged man rushed in and said while rubbing his hands, "Little brother, are you willing to sale that Jade for a million."
The crowd booed, and before they could say anything, Hao Ren said, "Not for sale."
His cold voice caused the people to shiver, the cutter raised the stone under the machine and carefully began to cut a window on the stone. After a few minutes, he yelled, "FUCK! It's rising again."
He stopped cutting and began to grind the stone, before he stopped and took a deep breath before raising the stone above his head and yelled, "It's emperor green!"
The entire market heard his voice and they all went crazy. Many people came closer to Hao Ren and ask him to sale. However, the young man did not bother, and refused to them all. The cutter cleaned up the rock, and asked, "Little brother, do you need help moving these stones."
Hao Ren shook his head and said, "You can just put them in a jute bag. Also, give me a set of carving tools."
The master nodded and then he did as he was told. The shop boss had a few people set off crackers. Hao Ren did not mind this, and suddenly, he sensed a few people with bad intention coming closer and about to snatch the bag from his hand, when a young voice sounded, "If anyone dared to violate the rules of Jade Market, the Shiba House will discount you of your legs."
The people stopped, before Hao Ren turned to look at the person. It was the young lady from earlier who spoke up. He looked at the lady and took out a coin from his hand. Then he flicked the coin at one of the biggest raw stones and said, "This would be enough to revive the drowning fortune."
The young lady heard his voice in her mind, but she did not see his lips move. She was shocked, earlier she was only speaking out of kindness, and then she turned around, to look at the raw stone. She did not react quickly so that the other people do not realize what happened, and she bowed to the young man. She did not know how this young man knew about the situation in her house, but she was clearly shocked by this.
She turned to look at Hao Ren, the young man had vanished from the spot.
