Chapter 319: Gangbos
Ye Bufan sized up Gangbos. This guy was impeccably dressed in a suit, wearing a pair of glasses. He looked refined and gentlemanly, but there was always a hint of lewdness in his eyes.
"Hello, Uncle Gangbos!"
Although Henry disliked this guy very much, from a son's perspective, basic etiquette was still necessary. After greeting him, he turned around and introduced, "This is Mr. Ye and his girlfriend, Ms. He."
On the way here, Ye Bufan had already instructed them not to reveal his identity as a Great Master. He always believed himself to be a doctor and saw no need to flaunt the title of a Great Master everywhere.
"Hello, Mr. Ye!"
Gangbos had heard from Andrew that Ye Bufan intended to buy diamonds from him, so his attitude was very polite. Then, he saw He Shuangshuang standing behind Ye Bufan, and his eyes immediately lit up, making him freeze in place.
"Beautiful, beautiful Young Miss, you are truly too beautiful. Can you tell me your name?"
As he spoke, an uncontrollable desire flashed in his eyes. It was a well-known secret in their circle that this guy loved Asian women the most.
He Shuangshuang felt a surge of disgust, but out of politeness, she still said courteously, "Hello, I am He Shuangshuang."
Then she added, "I am Xiao Fan's girlfriend."
Her meaning was clear: to tell the other party that she had a male companion.
If this were in China, the other party would have surely retreated, but unfortunately, this was not China, and the status of women here was pitifully low. In many cases, they were merely property of men.
Gangbos turned to Ye Bufan and said, "Mr. Ye, sell your girlfriend to me. I am willing to pay 10 million usd!"
Upon hearing him, Ye Bufan's expression immediately darkened, and He Shuangshuang's face also became extremely ugly. She was the dignified Young Miss of the He Family, yet now she was being treated as mere goods.
Henry quickly explained, "Mr. Ye, please don't be angry. The customs here are different from China. Women here can be bought and sold."
Ye Bufan said, "I'm sorry, I am Chinese. In our country, women are meant to be loved, never sold."
Gangbos, still unwilling to give up, said, "Mr. Ye, how about 30 million usd?"
Ye Bufan said with a grim face, "Mr. Gangbos, even if you give me your diamond mine, it won't do. Please do not bring up this topic again, or it will affect our friendship."

"Alright then, what a pity."
Gangbos looked at He Shuangshuang again, his eyes filled with unrestrained greed.
To change the subject, Henry said, "Uncle Gangbos, Mr. Ye and Ms. He are visiting us for the first time. Can you show them around your diamond mine?"
"Of course, you are very welcome."
Gangbos led the way, taking the group into the diamond mine.
As Ye Bufan walked, he released his Divine Sense. Since his Dual Cultivation with Sima Wei, which elevated his cultivation to the Xuan Grade Middle Stage, his Divine Sense had expanded to a 10-meter radius.
This truly lived up to its reputation as the largest open-pit diamond mine in Africa. Both above ground and underground, it contained extremely rich diamond deposits.
Some were larger, some smaller; some were buried beneath the surface, while others were directly on the surface layer, all radiating Spiritual Qi to varying degrees.
For these open-pit diamond mines, the greatest challenge was to perfectly separate the diamonds from the mud and sand.
But for Ye Bufan, this was no problem at all. With his Divine Sense, it was easy to locate every single diamond.
Behind the small building were several bulldozers and excavators, all very old and rusty.
Especially the two ore washing machines, which made squeaking noises every time they rotated.
At this moment, Gangbos said, "Respected Mr. Ye, beautiful Young Miss He, to show our welcome for your arrival, I am willing to open the diamond mine for one hour.
Within this hour, any diamonds you dig up will entirely belong to you."
Ye Bufan certainly wouldn't expose the secret of his Divine Sense. He said, "Mr. Gangbos, isn't one hour a bit too short? I'm afraid we won't find anything at all."
Gangbos waved his hand and said, "Respected Mr. Ye, you don't know, this is a new mine for us. In ancient times, it was once a volcanic river.
That is to say, it is not only an open-pit mine but also a very, very large rich mine. As long as you are lucky, you can definitely dig up diamonds.
I once had a very lucky friend who dug up a diamond of over 30 carats here."
"Alright then, I'll try my luck too."
Ye Bufan said, taking a shovel handed to him by a worker. He Shuangshuang also took a sieve, used for sifting diamonds.
The two of them wandered around the diamond mine, looking as if they were

very confused, not knowing where to start digging.
In fact, Ye Bufan had no real intention of mining. He knew Gangbos's thoughts very well; if he really dug up a diamond of over a hundred carats, that guy would certainly not let him take it away.
At this moment, his Divine Sense was continuously scanning the mine, wanting to see exactly how many diamonds it contained and get a basic understanding.
A hint of mockery flashed across Gangbos's face as he shouted from behind, "Mr. Ye, just looking is useless. You must use the shovel to dig."
He Shuangshuang was also curious about the place and said, "Xiao Fan, let's dig a few times and try our luck."
"Alright then, let's give it a try. I think this spot is good."
Ye Bufan said, swinging his shovel and digging at his feet. In truth, he was perfectly clear about the situation here. After pretending to dig about a dozen shovelfuls, he scooped up a diamond of roughly two carats and placed it into the sieve in He Shuangshuang's hand.
He Shuangshuang sifted diligently. Although as the Young Miss of the He Family, she didn't particularly value one or two carat diamonds, this was a kind of fun.
Suddenly, she picked up a rough diamond the size of a mung bean and exclaimed in surprise, "Xiao Fan, look, I found a diamond!"
At her exclamation, Henry and Gangbos both came over.
Gangbos exclaimed dramatically, "Beautiful Young Miss He, your luck is truly good."
He Shuangshuang excitedly asked, "Xiao Fan, how much do you think this diamond is worth?"
"I'm not sure about that."
He could only distinguish the size of the diamond based on its Spiritual Qi, but he was unsure about its value.
Henry looked at the diamond and said, "Young Miss He, your diamond is about two carats. After polishing, it will still be over one carat, and its purity looks very good. It should be worth about twenty to thirty thousand chinese yuan on the market."
He Shuangshuang said with some surprise, "Is it that cheap? As far as I know, a one-carat diamond is much more expensive than this?"
Henry explained, "What you're referring to are finished diamonds, while this is just a rough diamond. It still needs to go through many processes to become a beautiful finished diamond.
A large part of a diamond's value is added value, so this rough diamond isn't that expensive right now. If it were truly processed and polished into a finished product, it would probably be around 100,000 chinese yuan."
After hearing him, He Shuangshuang became a little excited and began sifting through the sieve again.
