"What reason does Mr. Li want? Can you give me a little hint?" Zhang Dawei asked curiously.
"If Boss Zhang cannot understand, then it means I have no fate with Boss Zhang. It is better not to help," Li Yang refused decisively.
"This..."
Zhang Dawei was instantly speechless!
He was famous in the provincial capital, but he never expected to be bullied by a young man in Jiangcheng.
He had been quite interested in Li Yang just now, but after being repeatedly made difficult, he instantly lost interest and snorted, "Since Mr. Li is unwilling to help, I will not force it."
"Please have Ms. Shui calculate the price of this batch of rough stones. I will pay and I have other matters to attend to."
"Boss Zhang, don't be angry. Actually, Li Yang means no harm, he..."
"Alright, you don't need to explain for him. I didn't say I would blame him, but after this cooperation, there's no need for future cooperation."
Zhang Dawei responded with a blank expression, clearly displeased.
Although Shui Xiang wanted to persuade him further, seeing Zhang Dawei's gloomy expression, she had no choice but to stop.
She glanced back at Li Yang, walked over, and said in a low voice, "Li Yang, Boss Zhang didn't offend you, why are you giving him a cold shoulder?"
"Am I giving him a cold shoulder? Clearly, this Boss Zhang gave me a cold shoulder first. I'm just following my rules, Sister Shui. Since he doesn't want to cooperate with us anymore, then we don't need to continue cooperating with him in the future."
"We are not lacking partners at all, and we can still survive without him," Li Yang said with a smile to comfort her.
"You..."
Shui Xiang was very helpless. Was this guy doing it on purpose? He ruined such a good business.
Before long, she calculated the bill for these stones and handed it to Zhang Dawei. This was calculated at the discounted price, which Zhang Dawei naturally noticed.
Just as he was about to take out his phone to pay, Li Yang walked over and stopped him, saying, "Boss Zhang, since this is our last cooperation, our gambling stone field doesn't need to give you any discounts. Let's settle at the original price. These stones add up to fifty million."
"How much?"
Zhang Dawei's eyes bulged, and he glared at Li Yang in fury, "Kid, are you deliberately trying to rip me off? Boss Zhang only bought these stones from me for eight million, and you're asking for fifty million?"
"As a rough stone expert, Boss Zhang naturally knows how much these stones are worth. I guarantee you that your fifty million will not be spent in vain. If you pay, take the stones away. If not, leave them here," Li Yang said cheerfully.
"Li Yang!"
Seeing Li Yang's actions, Shui Xiang quickly stepped forward to stop him, "What are you doing? Boss Zhang is my friend. We can't rip him off."
After speaking, she ignored Li Yang and directly looked at Zhang Dawei, saying, "Boss Zhang, you don't need to pay attention to him. Eight million is enough from you."
"Boss Shui, I truly pity you. You will regret finding a man like him sooner or later," Zhang Dawei said coldly, paid the money, had the stones loaded, and then left with the stones.
"Li Yang, what's wrong with you today? Did you eat something wrong when you went out? Boss Zhang kindly wanted to befriend you, but not only did you not give him face, you also said a lot of irritating things. He doesn't want to cooperate with us anymore."
After seeing Boss Zhang off, Shui Xiang walked straight to Li Yang as soon as she entered the shop and reprimanded him.
Li Yang, however, was very calm and did not feel he had wronged Zhang Dawei at all. Instead, he sighed helplessly and said, "Sister Shui, I was saving him just now, but you still harmed him. I guarantee he will be back within ten minutes."
"What do you mean?" Shui Xiang was about to continue scolding him, but when she heard his words, she showed a look of confusion and asked, "What do you mean?"
"I asked him for fifty million just now to make him abandon these stones, because these stones would cost him his life. I saw an evil aura on his forehead as soon as I entered. Within the next ten minutes, he would be invaded by the evil aura and have an accident," Li Yang said directly.
"If he left empty-handed, he might have been able to avoid that disaster, but taking a truckload of stones is uncertain. If something really happened, the mere inertia of the stones would crush him into meat paste," Li Yang explained patiently.
In fact, Li Yang didn't see any evil aura, but noticed the countdown above his head.
Moreover, this guy's countdown was red, indicating that his death would be very tragic.
After hearing Li Yang's explanation, Shui Xiang's heart buzzed, and she hurriedly said, "Then why didn't you explain earlier? Now that Boss Zhang has already left, won't he have an accident in ten minutes?"
"No, I have to call him back quickly."
"Don't go. Even if you go and tell him, he won't believe you, and you'll get implicated," Li Yang said calmly.
"Then I can't just stand by and watch. Wait!"
While Shui Xiang was anxious, she suddenly remembered what Li Yang had said and looked at Li Yang in surprise, asking, "Li Yang, you just said that Boss Zhang would be back in ten minutes? Isn't he going to have an accident? How can he come back?"
"Do you think I'm really so heartless that I would watch him die? Before he left, I had already infused a stream of true energy into his body, and I placed a disaster-avoiding item on him. When he escapes the disaster, he will naturally understand what happened."
"At that time, he will definitely come back to find me, and all his resentment will vanish into thin air," Li Yang said confidently.
"Really?"
Shui Xiang suddenly realized that all of this was within Li Yang's expectations.
Li Yang shrugged and said cheerfully, "Of course it's true, but whether you believe it or not is another matter. Ten minutes pass very quickly. When the time comes, it will naturally be revealed."
"This..."
Although Shui Xiang trusted Li Yang very much, because Li Yang had never disappointed her before, her heart was filled with worry as it was a matter of life, and it was her old friend's life. She trembled non-stop.
She kept looking at the time and pacing back and forth at the door.
As the ten minutes were about to pass, there was still no news from outside.
Screech!
At a corner of an intersection, a truck pulling rough stones had just turned the corner when it suddenly saw a runaway car approaching. The driver was so scared that he slammed on the accelerator.
However, because the ropes on the truck were not pulled tight, with the inertia, several rough stones on the truck instantly slid down and smashed directly towards the roof of Zhang Dawei's car!
"Oh no, Boss Zhang is in trouble!"
The truck driver personally saw stones weighing about a hundred pounds falling from a high altitude. If such heavy stones hit the roof of the car, the car would be instantly crushed, and the people inside would instantly die.
