Chapter 468: 466, Have you eaten too much black silk high-heeled duck head?

Li Huaiguo’s expression kept changing. He snorted coldly and said, "I don’t understand what you’re talking about. I’m going to contact the authorities immediately; I suspect you’re extorting me."

"Please, be my guest," Qin Dingguo said. "All these Jadeite Boulders of yours were previously cut open and then restored using advanced technology! Although they can almost pass for the real thing, a fake is still a fake. I have recorded a video and secured evidence. When the authorities arrive, I hope you can still be as calm and collected when facing them."

Luofeng was enjoying the drama from the sidelines. Is this Zhang Liang meeting his match? Did Li Huaiguo think Qin Dingguo was a fat sheep? Turns out Qin Dingguo was the hunter? Was his goal to counter-scheme against Li Huaiguo?

Li Huaiguo’s expression turned ugly; he had never imagined his deception would be uncovered.

"Just who the hell are you?" Li Huaiguo glared at Qin Dingguo.

"As I said, my name is Qin Dingguo, but people in certain circles show me respect by calling me Ghost Hand Five," Qin Dingguo declared.

"So it’s Fifth Master?" Li Huaiguo immediately backed down. "Fifth Master, I admit defeat. How about you give me a way out?"

"Haven’t I already given you a way out?" Qin Dingguo chuckled.

"Fifth Master, where would I get that much money? I can return all your money, and you can each pick any item from the store. Please, Fifth Master, be merciful?" Li Huaiguo pleaded, his face a mask of despair.

"You just lack sincerity!" Qin Dingguo complained. "You’re begging me to spare your life with one breath and trying to set me up with the next. As if you don’t know what’s truly valuable in this store of yours? Alright, I’ll give you one more chance: refund our money and buy the jadeite we revealed at the same price we paid for the stones. We’ll sign a contract, understand?"

Li Huaiguo said helplessly, "Thank you, Fifth Master!"

From the side, Luofeng spoke up, "So, I actually made money on my first jade gamble?"

This way of making money isn’t half bad. Turns out Brother Feng really can spot bargains.

Qin Dingguo laughed. "Congratulations, buddy, you’ve scored a windfall of two million!"

"You’re too kind. Should I give you half?" Luofeng said with a smile.

"That’s far too generous. My own take from this is much larger. If you split your winnings with me, I’d practically have to give you half of mine in return, wouldn’t I?" Qin Dingguo declined.

"Interesting!" Luofeng said with a smile.

This Qin Dingguo is truly interesting. He orchestrated this whole thing and casually helped me make money. If he hadn’t brought me along, conning Li Huaiguo out of six million wouldn’t have been an issue for him, right? 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"Let me introduce myself again. I’m Qin Dingguo, from Sanjiaojiuliu, nicknamed Ghost Hand Five. I’m a professional counterfeit buster, specializing in exposing swindling and deceitful merchants!" Qin Dingguo said.

"Oh?" Luofeng raised an eyebrow. To think I’d meet someone like this. Someone like him might be useful for my plans against Honda!

While Luofeng was considering this, he received a call from Chen Dali.

"Dali, how did you know I came to Capital City?" Luofeng asked before Chen Dali could speak.

"Huh? You’re in Capital City?" Chen Dali sounded surprised.

"Er, what’s up?" Luofeng asked.

"Brother Feng, it’s great that you’re in Capital City! We’ve run into some trouble. If we don’t handle it well, we might get fleeced," Chen Dali said.

"We’re being fleeced?" Luofeng was puzzled. "What exactly is going on?"

Our powerful little group is actually getting fleeced? No way! Isn’t Brother Feng usually the one fleecing others?

"I can’t explain it clearly over the phone. Since you’re in Capital City, how about we meet for skewers?" suggested Chen Dali.

"You three have completely ruined your image. You guys pick a place; I’ll bring Miss Ferrari over later!" Luofeng joked.

Chen Dali was too drained to even offer a retort. Their public image was indeed shattered—mostly thanks to overindulging in duck heads and getting mixed up in situations involving the black-stockings-and-high-heels crowd.

"Okay then, we’ll find a place and let you know once it’s set!"

"Alright!"

Once Luofeng ended the call, Li Huaiguo also asked for his Bank Card number.

Such a crooked merchant. It would be a waste not to fleece him. This money can be donated anyway.

After Li Huaiguo had paid the compensation in full, Luofeng took the initiative to approach Qin Dingguo. "Buddy, want to add me on WeChat?"

Qin Dingguo didn’t agree. "We met by chance. If fate allows, we shall meet again!"

"Perhaps we could become friends?" Luofeng pressed.

"There’s no need to force connections between different circles! I can see you’re an important person, buddy, while I’m just one of the Sanjiaojiuliu, not fit for the limelight. I brought you along this time partly to have someone to share the risk, so there’s really no need for us to get formally acquainted, right?" Qin Dingguo explained.

"Are you interested in striking down another crooked merchant?" Luofeng proposed.

"Oh? Which one?" Qin Dingguo’s interest was piqued. "In the last five years, the only one I found was Rare Treasures Pavilion. It took me a good six months of investigation to uncover their routine! If you have another lead on a lucrative opportunity, buddy, we can pull another job!"

"Honda!" Luofeng stated.

"Huh?" Qin Dingguo was taken aback.

"Let’s add each other on WeChat, and I’ll tell you more later!" Luofeng suggested.

"Alright then. If you find another way to strike it rich, remember to give me a shout, buddy!"

"No problem!"

The two quickly added each other on WeChat.

Qin Dingguo then left in a hurry.

Luofeng returned to Duanmu Yunji, Qin Rubing, and Ye Bing.

Ye Bing was the first to tease him. "Luo the Immortal truly lives up to his name, managing to score a bargain even like this."

"It’s all about good luck, isn’t it?" Luofeng smiled. "By the way, Yunji, Chen Dali just called about grabbing skewers. Do you want to come along?"

"Shouldn’t Chen Dali and his crew be inviting you to a bar instead?" Duanmu Yunji said with a smile.

"Hey, Miss Ferrari, are you looking for trouble? Itching for a lesson?" Luofeng retorted playfully with a "Hmm."

Duanmu Yunji shot Luofeng a coquettish glare. "I’ve eaten far too much today. I’ll skip the skewers. You guys go have fun at the bar."

"Whoa, what’s with you today?" Luofeng teased, looking at Duanmu Yunji.

"Those oddballs in the bar? I’m not worried in the slightest!" Duanmu Yunji huffed.

Luofeng chuckled. This Capital City Great Cat is right, of course. While the women in those bars might not be hideous, their... purity level is far too low. How could he possibly be tempted? Besides, "not hideous" is a relative term. Compared to Duanmu Yunji, Qin Rubing, Bai Ningbing, and the other incredible beauties he knew... were those women even in the same league? Black stockings, high heels, duck heads? Forget it. Too much spice, he couldn’t stomach it.

"Alright then, you all head back. I’m off to grab skewers with Chen Dali and the others." Luofeng didn’t mention going to a bar; that would have been too honest of him.

Soon after, Luofeng called Chen Dali. "Dali, I’m all set here. I can head over anytime!"

"Great! We found a new skewer spot, right across from Cloud View Apartments. Heh heh, Brother Feng, we treat you well, don’t we?" Chen Dali said with a sly laugh.

"Oh, get lost! What are you insinuating?" Luofeng made complaints. "Send the location. We’ll be right there!"
