Chapter 227: Teasing the Playboy (15)

He had spent one thousand gold coins buying ten raw stones from Old Chen but hadn't gained a thing. Now, it was perfect; he had run into a sucker, so if he didn't extort her, who would he extort?

Liu Chengfeng fanned himself, a wicked smile on his face.

Su Luo's brows seemed to be furrowed tightly, her expression one of frustration and anxiety: "One thousand taels? No way! One hundred taels at most!"

"One thousand gold coins, final price!" Liu Chengfeng snorted coldly, raising his eyebrows haughtily.

"How can you make such an arbitrary price? Clearly, the previous nine raw stones were cut open and there was absolutely nothing inside, so why should I have to pay for your losses? Do you really take me for a fool?" Su Luo glared at him indignantly.

Liu Chengfeng fanned himself, speaking unhurriedly: "This Young Master admits that much of what you said is true, but right now, this Young Master demands that you pay one thousand gold coins. Otherwise, you must compensate this Young Master with that little bitchy dog of yours. Hmph, now, make your choice."

Su Luo seemed very conflicted, hesitating again and again, before finally asking weakly: "Can it be a bit cheaper?"

"No!" The weaker Su Luo's Aura became, the stronger Liu Chengfeng's Aura grew. He glared at Su Luo aggressively: "One thousand gold coins, non-negotiable! Now tell me, will you pay the gold coins or give me the little bitchy dog?"

Up until this very moment, Liu Chengfeng truly believed that Su Luo was afraid of him.

Su Luo was secretly delighted, but she put on a tearful expression. After considering it repeatedly, she reluctantly took out a coin purse and handed it to Liu Chengfeng.

Just as Liu Chengfeng reached for it, Su Luo retracted her hand.

"What are you doing?" Liu Chengfeng's eyes widened as he glared angrily at Su Luo.

Su Luo turned to look at Old Chen instead and said to him: "Would you please act as a witness, Uncle Chen?"

If the crystal stone inside that raw stone was dug out later, what if Liu Chengfeng went back on his word? Do not doubt it; with Liu Chengfeng's character, doing such a thing would truly be a piece of cake.

Since Old Chen had been able to subdue him with just one sentence earlier, Su Luo clearly understood that Old Chen was Liu Chengfeng's nemesis.

Old Chen glanced indifferently at Su Luo. Those eyes, grown cloudy with the passage of time, suddenly flashed with a fleeting, crisp light.

He just quietly scrutinized Su Luo, a hint of complex expression in his eyes.

However, this scrutinizing gaze made Su Luo feel a bit uneasy. She had a vague feeling that ever since she stepped into this mansion, Old Chen had been holding a mindset of scrutiny, assessment, and exploration toward her, which secretly sparked her curiosity.

After scrutinizing her for quite a while, and who knows how many thoughts had turned in Old Chen's aged head, he finally nodded stiffly, his voice cold: "Very well."

Liu Chengfeng was stunned for a moment, simply unable to believe it.

Su Luo did not know Old Chen's background, but Liu Chengfeng had a vague understanding of it; otherwise, he, the second Young Master of the Prime Minister's mansion, would not be so wary of an old man from the marketplace.

In his impression, this old geezer was always stern and unsmiling. For a long time, he even thought the old geezer was mute, because he had never seen him speak to anyone.

Later, as he came more often, he could occasionally hear one or two words from him, but most of the time, he would ignore others, even if that person was the Mercenary Guild's President, Lord Bei Chen.

But, but this Stinky Girl… she was actually able to get this old geezer to act as a witness?

And this old geezer actually agreed?

There was something about this… Liu Chengfeng was a bit confused.

What exactly was this Stinky Girl's background?
