Chapter 55

What Hei Ming just had said made Pei Siyan frowned, he turned and stared at Hei Ming.

“Don’t look at me that way! I know nothing!” Hei Ming tried to get away with it.

In fact, he knew what had happened because he was smoking on the balcony of Bai Hao’s room when Jiang Sheng was catching fish by the pond.

He wanted to stop Jiang Sheng at the beginning and told him that those were not normal fish and he should better get his hands off from them.

However, he thought about it for a second and found it might be interesting to just let him do it, so he didn’t stop him.

He thought Jiang Sheng would just catch it for fun and then put it back into the pond when he got bored.

But what he didn’t know was about thirty minutes later, Pei Lele came over and knocked on his door and asked him if he wanted some grilled fish. His eyes almost popped out of his head when he heard that. He could never imagine that Jiang Sheng would have grilled the fish to eat.

Therefore, Hei Ming decided to pretend that he knew nothing since he was afraid that Pei Siyan would blame him along with Jiang Sheng.

But seeing Pei Siyan was enjoying the fish with pleasure, he found that hilarious and thus was trying to hold his laughter back.

What Hei Ming said made Pei Siyan frown again. But a moment later, he ignored him and turned to ask Bai Hao, “How’s the affection plant in the greenhouse? Is this batch ready to be sold?”

Bai Hao replied with a mouthful of fish, “It’s ready, but now that the flowering stage is getting shorter, so I’m afraid that it could not be that profitable. It could go bad without proper transportation.”

“Don’t expect too much. Just make sure that it covers the cost.” Pei Siyan’s voice had always been cold when he talked about money.

After all, he had lived for centuries and all these things didn’t really matter to him.

“No problem with that. We can still sell it for a dozen million, and the profit can be guaranteed.”

Bai Hao smiled and said. In the end, he took another few bites of the fish. The fish tasted extraordinarily good.

“Slow down. We got more in the kitchen.” Hei Ming said for he was afraid of Bai Hao choking on it.

Then he suddenly covered his face with his hands as if he was in big trouble. Because there was still a dozen of fish left in the kitchen, killed and processed. Jiang Sheng said he wanted to make them into spicy dried fish for snacks later.

Hei Ming no longer found that funny and he wanted to leave immediately before Pei Siyan found out what happened. After all, he was the only one who knew what had happened. Not only did he not report that to him, but he also had the fish with them together. He would be considered as one of Jiang Sheng’s accomplice in that way.

“Young master Jiang, we’ve picked the flower back for you. Should we place them in your room?”

At the same time, a dozen maids showed up in the dining room with a large bouquet in each one of their hands.

“Oh wow! You are back! Just leave one bouquet in my room and place the rest in the living room. There’s not a single plant in this house, so some flowers should make it better.”

Jiang Sheng wiped his mouth and pointed around every space that was still available, letting the maids place the flowers there.

“Flowers?” Bai Hao turned around and glanced at the maids.

But what he saw just made his eyes pop, and he spat out the fish in his mouth.

Because that was the affection plant he and Pei Siyan just had mentioned. It was a leafless plant in the magic world, and it was very rare because it could bloom. It took them fifty years to raise this batch of flowers.

“You you you… are you out of your mind, Jiang Xiao? These are worth more than ten million yuan! And you picked them back to decorate the room?” Bai Hao pointed at Jiang Sheng with his shaky finger; he was so shocked that he could barely speak.

“What ten million?” Jiang Sheng was confused and he looked at Bai Hao innocently.

Bai Hao was just about to give him a lecture, but then he looked down oat the fish in his bowl, and he suddenly sweated like a pig. He opened his eyes wide with disbelief.

“Is… is this fish from the pond beside the greenhouse?”

Bai Hao was about to pass out after saying that; he could not accept the fact.

‘My gosh! Those fish are worth hundreds of millions of yuan! We have spent more than a hundred years on them!’

Bai Hao would choose to be dead if he could; he just couldn’t even think about it anymore.
