The cold wind blew and scattered the tiny rock fragments.
Pieces of the exploded rock were scattered all over the floor.
The pieces had landed quietly like the rain falling and leaves rustling to the ground.
At the same time, they fell like the rising waters of a river threatening to flood the riverbanks!
In the midst of the falling rock fragments, Ye Fan stood where he was quietly. His deep and icy eyes were filled with immense majesty. His incredible presence was as overwhelming as the sea and covered the entire place!
His handsome face was filled with contempt for Zhou Sheng and Han Dong-Min, and his dominance and arrogance looked down upon everyone in the living room.
Ye Fan stood alone with his hands behind his back as the rest looked on in great fear.
His eyes were authoritative!
He smiled coldly and proudly.
When sparks flew and dragons howled, the world changed. The one who could stand at the top of the world to change it was Chu Tianfan!
"This...this..."
The entire living room was filled with terror.
Everyone was dumbstruck by Ye Fan's majestic presence.
It was as if they were stuck by lightning!
They stared blankly and fear filled their hearts. For a long time, nobody could get a single word out.
After an extremely long time.
Ye Fan and the rest had already left.
The living room was left with nothing but the crowd who were dumbfounded and terrified, as well as the floor covered with black rock fragments.
Silence.
It was deathly silent.
There was absolutely no sound in the whole living room.
You could even hear a pin drop.
After a long time, there was finally the sound of some people gasping.
Han Dong-Min was still rooted to the floor. He still couldn't snap out of his shock. He just stared at the fragments on the floor and looked like he had just been slapped hard in the face.
His face felt a stinging and burning pain!
Just minutes ago, he had doubted Ye Fan and accused him of spouting nonsense and fabricating stories. But now, Ye Fan had used the truth to slap everyone back in the face.
Liu and Meng Guang were also gasping with their mouths wide open.
"It's actually...it's really...worthless rock?!"
All the chortling and insults towards Ye Fan had disappeared. After that rock exploded open, all the attacks on Ye Fan suddenly stopped.
Who would have thought that Ye Fan had been telling the truth all along?
Just like what Ye Fan said earlier, he didn't know anything about rock gambling and couldn't tell one jade from the other and didn't know any of the jade mines.
But so what?
Even if Ye Fan knew nothing about rock gambling, he had proven that no matter how much Liu Chuan-Zhi said, they were all lies!
No matter how loudly he shouted, that rock was worthless after all!
Ye Fan had used his actions to prove himself in front of everyone else.
The living room remained completely silent.
Nobody said anything and nobody knew what to say. They could only exchange glances.
While everyone was still shaken and still recovering from their shock, Zhou Sheng realized that he was in trouble and quietly turned to take this chance to leave.
"Mr Zhou, are you leaving without saying goodbye? Don't you think you owe me an explanation?"
The things you feared most always came true. Zhou Sheng had only turned around when he could hear Han Dong-Min's cold voice call out after him.
"Mayor Han, this is a misunderstanding, it's just a misunderstanding. There's always risks involved when it comes to rough jade. Before opening it all the way, nobody would know for sure what's inside, don't you agree?"
Zhou Sheng continued to attempt defending himself as he looked guiltily at Han Dong-Min and smiled in fear.
But of course Han Dong-Min wasn't going to listen to his explanation. He got his subordinates to hold Zhou Sheng and Liu Chuan-Zhi hostage.
