Chapter 73: Chapter 73: Prepare a Few Contraceptive Pills

Hearing Ye Ling's words, Gao Ning's obese body shuddered violently, looking almost as if he were about to cry.

500 million yuan!

Even if Gao Ning spent his entire fortune, could he come up with 500 million yuan?

"Don't tell me you don't have it," Ye Ling said.

Gao Ning hesitated for a moment, then said awkwardly, "500 million, I... I really don't have that right now."

"Don't have it?"

Hearing this, Ye Ling frowned, looked at Gao Ning, then turned to Wang Ningmei, "Ning Mei, this is where you were wrong, right? That fatty just asked me to talk to you, and you nodded. Now you're telling me he has no money?"

Wang Ningmei said, "Over the years, Gao Ning has gathered valuable items from the shops around, definitely worth no less than 10 billion. He should still have assets worth 5 billion, right?"

As she spoke, Wang Ningmei looked toward Gao Ning.

"I do have it, but... all my money is invested in other areas. I only have a bit over 2 billion in cash left. If you want to take it, I can transfer it to you right now," said Gao Ning.

He indeed had guts, not uttering any word of backtracking.

Ye Ling stared at Gao Ning for a while, noticing only embarrassment on his face, but no sign of lying.

With Ye Ling's perceptive eyesight, he instantly knew Gao Ning was not deceiving him.

"Alright, for your courage, I'll only take 1 billion. This should make you understand not to look down on others just because you think you're wealthy," Ye Ling said.

At those words, Gao Ning's head shot up, not with anger, but with an expression of deep gratitude.

The other people, upon hearing Ye Ling's remark, also showed embarrassment on their faces.

Obviously, Ye Ling was making a veiled criticism!

However, the fact that Ye Ling dropped from 5 billion to 1 billion garnered their respect for his boldness.

Wang Ningmei's beautiful eyes surveyed Ye Ling. Given his unsophisticated appearance, he must have really been in need of money before, right?

People like him wouldn't let go of 400 million, let alone 4 billion.

But Ye Ling was different; he willingly let go of 4 billion without any sign of pain on his face.

In fact, Ye Ling was also rather helpless.

Gambling on jade stones was, after all, without anything to back it up.

Perhaps for someone like Gao Ning who had some credibility, but if it were someone else, they might have simply reneged, and what could Ye Ling do? Kill him?

That certainly wasn't possible.

Moreover, Ye Ling somewhat admired Gao Ning, who, despite being a bit ostentatious, would likely remember the lesson from this time.

"However..."

Ye Ling continued, "As I said earlier, I accidentally hit your BMW a little. The cost of repairs..."

"BMW my ass?"

Gao Ning immediately said, "Brother, I am a bit older than you, so I take the liberty of calling you 'little brother'. Today, little brother spared this big brother, and I have taken note. In the future, if you encounter any issues in Donghai City, just call me. I can't say I can handle everyone, but in this area, I still have some say."

As he spoke, Gao Ning transferred another 1 billion yuan to the same bank card for Ye Ling.

Ye Ling did not refuse, as it was his due.

"Let's go, little brother Ye. Although big brother lost today, I can afford it! Besides, having the fortune to meet an extraordinary person like you, little brother Ye, is also big brother Gao Ning's luck. There's no knowing without a fight; let's go have a drink!"

In reality, Gao Ning only lost 3 billion. The 1 billion he just lost could be earned back by selling the jade stones he held.

Han Lin, upon hearing that the BMW issue was so easily settled by Ye Ling, felt incredibly grateful and was also quite astounded.

He could see that Ye Ling was certainly no ordinary person; driving a Chery was merely his way of staying low-key.

"No need for drinks, I still have to choose some jade stones," Ye Ling said with a smile as he waved his hand.

"Oh?"

Gao Ning immediately showed an interested expression, now that he had resolved his grudges with Ye Ling, he was relieved.

As for those 3 billion, he could always earn them back later. With his experience in stone gambling, he wouldn't say it was very easy, but it was still possible.

Ye Ling circled around these rough stones and said, "This one, this one, and this one, push them all over there, please, and trouble the master to cut them for me."

The master immediately became excited.

Ye Ling had just chosen two stones and both had revealed good stuff. Could it be that the ones he was selecting now would also yield something good?

Two hours later, to everyone's shock, a piece of jade was polished from those rough stones. Searᴄh the nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Although there were no Three-Color Imperial Jades or Heart Spheres, the stones were all of fine quality, with the least valuable ones being worth tens of millions.

Even Wang Ningmei, with her generous nature, felt regret.

Had she known these rough stones were so good, she would have cut them herself in the beginning.

"Trouble the master to cut these jade stones into jade tablets, palm-sized will do," Ye Ling said with a smile.

"What?!"

The master was taken aback and hastily said, "Young man, if these are cut into tablets, they won't be worth much!"

Gao Ning also frowned and said, "Brother Ye, that's not the right way to play. Cutting them into tablets would waste these good jade pieces. If you're willing, give them all to your brother here, and I guarantee I'll sell them for a good price."

"It's okay, I need them for something. Just cut them for me," Ye Ling said to the master.

The master hesitated for a long time, clearly reluctant to waste those jade stones.

What they didn't know was, once Ye Ling refined these jade stones into Jade Talismans, they would definitely be worth much more than they were now.

Under Ye Ling's insistence, these jade stones, worth a total of about 10 billion, were all cut into jade tablets.

There were about a hundred pieces in total.

Wang Ningmei brought a backpack, and Ye Ling packed all the jade tablets into it.

"Ning Mei, don't go to sleep tonight. If everything goes as planned, I'll probably come over around midnight," Ye Ling said to Wang Ningmei.

"Midnight?"

Wang Ningmei furrowed her brow and asked, "Why so late?"

"You'll know when the time comes."

The people around were a bit puzzled. Wang Ningmei, this woman who seemed sly as a fox, but who was actually unattainable, seemed to have been picked up by Ye Ling at their first meeting?

Gao Ning, who had shown some interest in Wang Ningmei, laughed out loud upon hearing this, "At midnight, it's quiet, a good time to get things done, haha..."

"Brother, it's not what you think," Ye Ling said helplessly.

Wang Ningmei's cheeks also turned red, aware that Gao Ning and the others obviously misunderstood.

But wasn't Wang Ningmei a proprietress? Logically, she should have a boss, right? So why were Gao Ning and the others being so unrestrained?

With her experience, which clearly wasn't comparable to that of ordinary young girls, she didn't explain but said, "Alright then, whenever you want to come, just come. I'll be waiting for you. Do I need to prepare anything?"

Ye Ling thought for a moment and said, "Just prepare a few contraception pills."

"Damn..."

Hearing this, everyone rolled their eyes again.

Big brother, do you really need to be so direct?
