Chapter 321 Ten Carat Diamond
However, the diamonds remaining on the surface were relatively small, with the largest being only three to four carats. To find larger diamonds, one had to dig deeper.
The trip he just made had already confirmed the locations of some large diamonds, making digging them up very simple.
Meanwhile, at the small building, Gangbos had his subordinates move a few chairs outside, and several people sat there watching Ye Bufan.
Seeing that he was not in a hurry to dig, but instead rode his motorcycle around, they were all a bit puzzled.
Gangbos naturally didn't know that his diamonds had been almost completely cleared out. He said with a sneer, "Mr. Ye, what are you doing? Could it be that he wants to directly hit a diamond of several hundred carats?"
Henry frowned, a look of anxiety on his face. Seeing that more than half the time had passed and Master Ye still wasn't digging for diamonds, if this dragged on, this gamble would truly be lost.
Only He Shuangshuang remained calm. She had enough confidence in Ye Bufan, knowing that he never fought unprepared battles. Although she didn't understand the purpose of his actions, she knew he had his reasons.
Under everyone's gaze, Ye Bufan finally stopped his motorcycle, picked up a shovel, and began to dig into the ground.
He didn't truly expect to dig out diamonds with a shovel; that would be too slow, and there wasn't enough time left.
He only dug a few times to mislead others. After a small pit appeared, he raised his right foot and stomped hard on the ground.
Powerful Chaotic True Qi instantly penetrated deep into the ground, bringing a massive diamond out from underground and into the small pit in front of him.
This was a huge yellow diamond, appearing to be at least 100 carats or more. Although it hadn't been polished yet, it still emitted a captivating halo under the sunlight.
If such a large diamond were to be auctioned, it should be worth at least 100 million chinese yuan.
Ye Bufan guessed in his heart, a slight smile on his face. It seemed this diamond mine truly had good things.
With a thought from his Divine Thought, he put this huge yellow diamond into his Storage Ring, then he got back on his motorcycle and headed to the next promising location.
In this way, he would dig a few shovelfuls at each location and then leave, always collecting a diamond of 10 carats or more. As for the smaller diamonds buried underground, he couldn't be bothered with them.
Gangbos and the others became increasingly bewildered. As diamond mine owners for so many years, this was the first time they had seen someone dig for diamonds in this manner.
He said again with a sneer, "Mr. Ye is truly an interesting person. Why does he keep stomping his feet? Is this a sign of passivity?"
Henry said nothing. He couldn't even sit still now, pacing back and forth in front of the small building, his face full of anxiety. He wished he could just grab a shovel and help Ye Bufan dig for diamonds, but unfortunately, the rules didn't allow it.
Time passed bit by bit, and soon an hour was up. Ye Bufan returned to the front of the small building on his motorcycle, not a second late.
Gangbos stood up, a look of triumph on his face, and said with a false smile, "Dear Mr. Ye, your method of digging for diamonds truly opened my eyes.
How was the harvest? You must have dug up many diamonds, right?"
Ye Bufan naturally knew this old man was mocking him. He patted his pocket and said with a smile, "Not bad, at least more than 10 carats."
"What, Mr. Ye, you're not joking, are you?"
Gangbos simply couldn't believe his ears. In his opinion, Ye Bufan had just been messing around for a while; let alone a 10-carat diamond, he wouldn't even have found a single broken piece.
Henry, on the other hand, said with a look of pleasant surprise, "Mr. Ye, did you really dig up diamonds?"
"Of course, I just said my luck is always off the charts."
After speaking, he reached into his pocket and pulled out four diamonds, which appeared in his palm. Two of them were approximately 4 carats each, and two were approximately 3 carats each, totaling over 10 carats.
The moment Gangbos saw these four diamonds, the smile on his face instantly froze and became incredibly ugly.
He couldn't understand how this Chinese man, who had clearly been fooling around for an hour, managed to dig up four diamonds. Was his luck really that good?
"Oh my God, Mr. Ye, you are truly too lucky."
Henry excitedly took the four diamonds and placed them on the electronic scale prepared nearby. The screen flickered a few times, displaying a total of 14 carats.
Turning around, he said to Gangbos, "Dear Uncle Gangbos, you've lost this bet. Please honor your promise."
Gangbos's expression changed, and then a sly, smiling smirk reappeared.
"I think you're mistaken. I'm the one who won this bet, not Mr. Ye."
Henry's expression changed, and he angrily said, "Mr. Gangbos, you're not going to go back on your word, are you? As a businessman, you must keep your promises."
Gangbos still said with a smile, "Of course I will keep my promise, and I will abide by the bet, but what did I just say?"
"You just said that within one hour, as long as Mr. Ye collected 10 carats of diamonds, he would win this bet, and the stake was diamonds worth 50 million usd."
Henry said indignantly, "Now Mr. Ye has collected 14 carats of diamonds. What more do you have to say?"
"Henry, my dearest nephew, you just said it yourself. My requirement was to collect a 10-carat diamond within one hour."
Gangbos revealed a fox-like smile, reached out, picked up the rough diamonds, and said, "These diamonds are two 4-carat ones and two 1-carat ones. There isn't a single 10-carat diamond among them.
We always keep our word, and accumulation doesn't count. Therefore, I won this bet."
"You…"
Henry instantly trembled with anger. He hadn't expected this old fox to play word games. Who could be so lucky as to just happen to collect a 10-carat diamond? This was simply making things difficult for people.
Gangbos, however, paid no attention to Henry, smiling as he looked at Ye Bufan and said, "Dear Mr. Ye, you wouldn't have misunderstood our rules as well, would you?"
Ye Bufan showed no sign of anger, smiling as he said, "No, I heard it clearly. Mr. Gangbos indeed said that a 10-carat diamond must be collected within one hour."
Henry said anxiously, "Mr. Ye, please don't listen to him. He's just playing dirty."
Gangbos said, "Mr. Ye is indeed a man who keeps his promises. Do you have any other diamonds you haven't taken out?
If you only collected these four small diamonds, then this bet is lost, and you'll have to pay a gambling fee of 100 million usd."
At this moment, he was confident he had the other party cornered. It was already difficult enough to collect four small diamonds; how could it be possible to just happen to collect a 10-carat diamond? Even God couldn't do such a thing.
"Of course I do. I told you, my luck has always been off the charts. How could I only collect these four small diamonds?"
To Gangbos's surprise, Ye Bufan reached into his pocket again, then threw a diamond onto the electronic scale.
The screen flashed, and the bright red number finally settled on 10 carats, exactly 10 carats, not a single point more, not a single point less.
"This… how is this possible?"
Gangbos was utterly dumbfounded. He simply couldn't believe it was true; Ye Bufan had actually just happened to collect a 10-carat diamond.
