Chapter 743 Earned One Million Yuan
“Please help me! I come from the northeast. I found this hundred-year-old ginseng in the remote mountains and wanted to sell it to pay for my son’s tuition. But this crafty girl replaced it and said that my ginseng was fake. Can you believe that?”
The middle-aged man acted like a professional actor and cried miserably.
“Are you sure? The girl looks gentle and quiet, how can she be so dishonest?”
“I don’t think so. Doctor Su is a good person. How could she do this…”
“But you know, cats hide their claws. Look at this man. He’s crying so miserably. I would rather believe him…”
The onlookers were all speaking in low murmurs and Su Hui argued anxiously, “No, I didn’t touch his ginseng. It’s fake…”
But no matter how she tried to defend herself, the onlookers were deceived by the middle-aged man who seemed to be honest. Most chose to believe him and accused Su Hui of being evil and taking the man’s ginseng.
The man cried, ” I don’t care. You have to give me 200,000 yuan today, or I will kill myself here…”
Qin Haodong gave him a cold smile. This guy was really talented. He failed to deceive Su Hui, so he was trying to blackmail her now.
Su Hui was about to say something when Qin Haodong pushed her behind him. He picked up the red bag and checked it. Then he said to the middle-aged man, “Bro, you must have seen the wrong thing. This is your 100-year-old ginseng! When did she replace it?”
“How about this? Your ginseng looks pretty good and I think it’s quite precious. So I’ll take it for 200,000 yuan.”
Hearing that Qin Haodong was about to buy the ginseng, the middle-aged man immediately smiled and said, “Yes, you’re right. This is my 100-year-old ginseng. It’ll be yours if you give me 200,000 yuan.”
When she heard that Qin Haodong wanted to buy the ginseng, Su Hui immediately pulled at his sleeve and tried to stop him, “Haodong, we can’t buy this. This man is a liar and his ginseng is fake.”
But Qin Haodong was quite stubborn, “How is that possible? This is definitely a hundred-year-old ginseng and 200,000 yuan is really a low price.”
The middle-aged calmed down and said to Qin Haodong, “Young man, can you really make the final decision?”
He was a professional trickster and had already figured out the basic situation. He was well aware that Su Hui was the boss here.
Qin Haodong saw his inner doubts and said, “Don’t worry. This clinic doesn’t belong to me, but Su Hui is my girlfriend, so I can make the final decision!”
Su Hui was about to say something, but when she heard her loved one stating that she was his girlfriend, she flushed and was immediately filled with happiness. She did not even care whether the ginseng was real or not.
She was determined to buy the ginseng even if it was fake. Anyway, she could afford 200,000 yuan and it would make Qin Haodong happy.
The middle-aged man’s face lit up after he heard Qin Haodong’s words, “You’re really a straightforward young man with trained eyes! Give me the money and this is yours!”
Su Hui said, “I have a card here, let’s transfer the money.”
Qin Haodong said, “No, don’t bother to use the card. We have cash here, don’t we?”
Then he turned around and opened a cabinet. Under the cover of its door, he took out two bundles of notes from his Storage Ring and gave them to the middle-aged man.
“Check it out. There’s 100,000 yuan in each bundle, so it’s 200,000 yuan in total.”
The middle-aged man was ecstatic at the sight of the two bundles of notes. He immediately held the money in his arms. In fact, he had been deceiving others for a long time, but it was the first time he made money so quickly.
“Young man, I am taking the money and the deal is done now. I’m leaving.”
Then he turned to leave. Qin Haodong picked up the fake ginseng again and said, “Please come to me the next time you find such a precious medical material.”
“The deal is done now, so I can tell you the truth. Several days ago, a hundred-year-old ginseng that was even smaller than yours was sold for 3 million yuan. So your ginseng is worth at least 5 million yuan.”
He performed the Mind-manipulating skill while talking to the middle-aged man to make him believe that this fake ginseng was actually a treasure, which could definitely be worth more than 5 million yuan. He must have regretted selling it for the price of 200,000 yuan.
After entering the Nascent Soul Realm, he became even better at performing the Mind-manipulating skill and could affect others’ minds.
The middle-aged man’s smile disappeared in an instant and he felt very regretful.
Qin Haodong used the illusion on the fake ginseng and all the onlookers also believed that this was really a 100-year ginseng.
“Please take a look! I did not expect to buy a treasure at such a low price today! Have you ever seen a hundred-year-old ginseng? Look at its color, size and roots. This is obviously rare ginseng grown in the remote mountains.”
Hearing his words, the onlookers also began to check the ginseng carefully. A middle-aged man in his 50s said, “Young man, I also run a medicinal business before and saw some precious medical materials. But to be honest, none of them can be compared with your ginseng. You really made a fortune today.”
The others also echoed the middle-aged man’s words, “It’s definitely a hundred-year-old ginseng. Young man, you must be rich now. I heard that the hundred-year-old ginseng is priceless now and can be sold for at least a few million yuan…”
“It’s an excellent choice to buy it! You really made a big profit by paying only 200,000 yuan for such a great treasure!”
Even Su Hui, who was standing next to Qin Haodong, was surprised. Why did the ginseng suddenly look different? Did she make a mistake?
At this moment, the middle-aged man slapped the money down on the desk and shouted, “The ginseng is mine. Give it back to me quickly.”
Qin Haodong’s expression suddenly changed and he said, “You can’t do this! The ginseng is mine!”
The others also agreed, “Yes, the deal is done now, how can you go back on your word?”
The middle-aged man shouted in annoyance, “I regret it! This ginseng must be worth more than 200,000 yuan! How can I sell it to you? Take the money back and give me the ginseng!”
Qin Haodong’s face clouded and he said, “The deal is done now, how can you change your mind? There are so many people here watching and they can prove that you’ve sold the ginseng to me.”
The middle-aged man’s face turned red and he cried out, “Well then, I can buy it! Sell the ginseng to me now!”
“Why will I sell you the treasure I’ve just got?”
“Because this is my ginseng and you must sell it to me, or I will kill myself here…”
The middle-aged man acted shamelessly once again, but his purpose was completely the opposite. He wanted to buy this fake ginseng this time.
Qin Haodong pretended to be frightened and said, “Please… don’t do that. Only harmony can bring wealth. Well, calm down and I’ll sell it to you.”
“But the price must be higher. The ginseng is worth at least five million yuan, so you have to give me two million.”
The middle-aged man said, “Two million yuan? I don’t have that much money. I can give you one million and you must give the ginseng to me.”
“One million is fine. Cash or credit card?”
“Of course credit card. Who carries so much money all the time?”
“Well then, this is my credit card number.”
Qin Haodong gave him Su Hui’s bank card. The middle-aged man took out his mobile phone and began to transfer the money. He was very fast as if he was afraid that Qin Haodong would go back on his word.
Soon, Su Hui received the money after she heard a ding from her mobile phone.
Su Hui looked at the figure and was stunned. She remembered that the middle-aged man had forced them to buy the fake ginseng. How did they earn one million yuan in an instant?
After transferring the money, the middle-aged man held the ginseng in his arms and ran out of the clinic without even looking at them. It seemed that the ginseng was really a treasure for him.
Soon, he ran into a nearby rented house. A pockmarked middle-aged man was sitting on the sofa, smoking and watching TV.
They were brothers. The man with the pockmarked face was the elder brother of the middle-aged man. They had worked together to cheat people for many years.
“Big brother, I’m back!”
The middle-aged man shouted excitedly.
Seeing his gaiety, the man with a pockmarked face thought that he managed to pull it off. He said, “How’s it? Was this little girl easy to deceive?”
He had already known that Su Hui had just graduated from college. She was an innocent girl with no social experience. So he stayed at home and asked his younger brother to go to the clinic alone.
“Brother, we have five million yuan now!”
The middle-aged man shouted excitedly with the fake ginseng in his arms.
“What? What are you talking about? Did you get 5 million yuan from the stupid girl?”
Hearing his words, the man with the pockmarked face suddenly jumped up with great excitement.
“The girl didn’t give me 5 million, but the ginseng is worth 5 million yuan!” The middle-aged man was still under the influence of the Mind-manipulating and he said excitedly, “Brother, this ginseng is a treasure with hundreds of years of history!
“I sold it for 200,000 yuan at first, but then I found that it was actually worth 5 million yuan. So I made a wise decision and bought it for 1 million yuan…”
His elder brother’s face suddenly clouded and he asked, “Where did you get 1 million yuan?”
“We’ve earned about 1 million yuan after cheating for so many years. It’s all in my bank card. Don’t you remember that?”
The pockmark-faced man snatched the ginseng from the middle-aged man’s arms and found that it was exactly the fake ginseng they had made before. It was not the hundred-year-old ginseng at all.
“F*ck your…”
The pockmark-faced man was so angry that he almost went crazy. He didn’t care that they were brothers and kicked the middle-aged man in the lower abdomen and knocked him to the ground. Then he threw the fake ginseng at his face.
The middle-aged man got up and shouted, “Why did you beat me?”
“Damn it! I nearly want to kill you!”
The pockmark-faced man then kicked the middle-aged man again. He released his anger and then calmed down. He picked up the fake ginseng and said, “Look, this is the fake one I made. How could it be a hundred-year-old ginseng? You gave them all the money we’ve earned these years. Are you crazy?”
“What?”
The middle-aged man was savagely beaten by his elder brother and he was finally free of the effect of the Mind-manipulating. At the sight of the fake ginseng, he suddenly realized something and shouted, “Brother, I was cheated by that guy!”
The pockmark-faced man said angrily, “We’ve been cheating others for years and I didn’t expect that you would be deceived by someone else. Tell me, what happened?
“We lost 1 million yuan! That’s all we have after working for so many years! Now the guy took all our money away!”
The middle-aged man said desperately, “I don’t know what happened. I was cheated by him somehow.”
“Brother, what should we do? Why don’t we beat that guy up and take the money back?”
“What are you talking about? Are you sure we can defeat him?” The pockmark-faced man thought for a moment and said, “It seems that we can only ask our cousin for help this time.”
Then he took out his mobile phone and called someone. He said obsequiously, “Cousin, we’re in trouble now and we need your help.
“Yes, of course, you will definitely get paid for it. I remembered that your wife wanted a diamond ring recently. I will buy one for her after the task is done…
“Don’t worry. She’s just a student from another country and she doesn’t have any relatives here. You can do whatever you want… That’s great! Thank you so much! I’ll come to you with my brother now…”
“With cousin’s help, he’s definitely finished. Let’s go and get the money back from him…”
The pockmark-faced man hung up and left the house with the middle-aged man.
