Chapter 1067: Ghost Substitute, Duped?
As soon as Xiao Ningjin said that, Chi Shuyan took a few more looks at him and ruefully felt that she had run into another discerning person.
On the side, Xiong Luoying and Chang Hao wondered if the shady shop owner had drugged Xiao Ningjin too.
Otherwise, why would this kid be willing to spend 30 million on nothing?
No, that wasn’t right. He and Chang Hao had probably also been drugged. Otherwise, why would they be willing to spend so much money on just these few talismans?
Xiong Luoying and Chang Hao didn’t know that Chi Shuyan was admiring their colorful expressions. She then refused Xiao Ningjin, who was certain that she would sell him the jade pendant, and said, “Sorry, this thing hasn’t been in stock recently, and I don’t plan to put it up for sale any time soon. If it’s up for sale, you can buy it directly from my Taobao shop. Xiao Jiang should know my Taobao shop! You can ask him for the link! Okay, it’s getting late. I still have class in the afternoon, so I’ll take my leave first!”
Before she left, Chi Shuyan said goodbye to Lu Yunfeng and said that he didn’t have to go with her.
However, Lu Yunfeng still followed her, and planned to at least see her off at the shop entrance.
Jiang Duo was very unwilling to give his brothers the link to the Taobao shop. After all, none of the things in it were ordinary good stuff. If they knew the effect of any of those things, they would swarm the shop.
He had suffered last time when he said something, and these brats didn’t believe him. When he got home, he had let it slip, and his father had called him to the study and lectured him for a few hours.
Xiao Ningjin didn’t expect the Taobao shop owner, whom Jiang Duo kept calling “Master Chi,” to directly refuse his request. In his opinion, that jade pendant naturally wasn’t worth 30 million, but he liked to take precautions.
In addition, he had heard from his family recently that Grandpa Jiang had suddenly become very healthy. He still knew a little about Grandpa Jiang’s health. Jiang Duo had vented to him a lot when Grandpa Jiang’s condition turned very serious. At that time, Jiang Duo acted as if Grandpa Jiang wouldn’t live past the next day.
At that time, Xiao Ningjin thought that something might really happen to Old Master Jiang. Who would have thought that in a few days, this kid would be all smiles, rich and carefree? Recently, he also realized that Jiang Duo had stopped borrowing money. Xiao Ningjin had asked him about it a few times, and every time, this kid would smile and tell him, “It’s a secret.”
Xiao Ningjin vaguely felt that these changes in Jiang Duo might or might not be related to the Taobao shop.
Most importantly, before they went into the lake, Jiang Duo said that he couldn’t go in. He said that the jade pendant around his neck was hot. No one else noticed, but when Xiao Ningjin happened to touch it at that time, it did seem a little hot. He hadn’t dwelled on it, but the more he thought about it, the stranger it seemed.
Sure enough, as Ah Duo said, something happened after they went into the lake. If it wasn’t because something had happened to Wang Yu and Shen Zhihua, what else could it be? Thinking this, Xiao Ningjin’s face was gloomy and very unsightly.
When Chi Shuyan and Lu Yunfeng left, Xiong Luoying and Chang Hao couldn’t help but say to Jiang Duo, “Ah Duo, what the hell is wrong with you? You made us spend so much money on this thing? Back then, Old Xiong bought no less than 100 pieces of this yellow paper. Have we been tricked?”
