Chapter 1884 1885: Rainbow City
Ling Zhenfei inwardly rejoiced, this simple-minded person playing against him is still a bit lacking.
Ling Zhenfei said, "By the way, Mo Lun, what's fun and bustling in Rainbow City?"
Mo Lun said somewhat awkwardly, "I don't know."
Ling Zhenfei was taken aback and said, "This is all within your Wuliang Mountain's area, and you actually don't know what's fun in Rainbow City?"
Mo Lun said with some embarrassment, "This place does indeed belong to Wuliang Mountain's area, but the rules of our Wuliang Immortal Palace are very strict, and I never have the chance to go down the mountain."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Then you're in luck, today I'll take you for a good tour around Rainbow City."
Ling Zhenfei took Mo Lun wherever it was bustling.
By this time, it was getting late, and the surrounding streets had already begun to light up.
Under the colorful lights, it appeared very lively.
Ling Zhenfei asked someone where the most fun place was, and that person mentioned a place, so Ling Zhenfei took Mo Lun there.
The place recommended by that person was indeed nice, similar to a pedestrian street, where there were many people, truly very lively.
Ling Zhenfei and Mo Lun looked around left and right, Mo Lun was very excited as he had never seen such a place before.
At this moment, a cacophony suddenly came from afar, sounding like a quarrel, Ling Zhenfei and Mo Lun didn't want to cause trouble, so they had no intention of going to watch.
But unexpectedly, the noise ran all the way over from afar.
From the sound, it was obvious someone was fleeing and someone was chasing.
Ling Zhenfei and Mo Lun hurriedly tried to dodge to the side, but the street was very crowded, making it impossible to dodge, not to mention the fleeing person ran recklessly and still got caught.
One person was kicked and sent flying, landing hard on the ground.
Another girl had her arm grabbed by Le Ke, unable to run due to the pain.
The pursuers were numerous, a few people immediately surrounded them, the kicked individual was encircled and beaten viciously.
The matter happened not far to the north, leaving Ling Zhenfei no choice but to look.
Upon looking, Ling Zhenfei was shocked because he recognized the girl.
The girl was actually Chu Yu, whom Ling Zhenfei had met in Binyang, and upon looking again, the beaten individual was Chu Yu's senior brother, Qi Tianyu.
At this moment Chu Yu was already captured, crying out loudly from the pain of the heavy force.
Ling Zhenfei knew, if he didn't intervene, Chu Yu and Qi Tianyu were done for; Qi Tianyu would surely be beaten badly.
Ling Zhenfei hurriedly walked up and shouted at the group, "What are you doing? Doing such things in the street - do you know it's illegal?"
One person didn't expect anyone dared to intervene on this earth.
"Who says so? Let me tell you, these two gambled at our shop, lost, and then tried to run without paying. I've lost millions!"
"We didn't! We were deceived by you!"
Qi Tianyu shouted from afar, only to receive another bout of beating in return.
Ling Zhenfei said, "If you say they owe you money, you should call the police. Beating them is illegal."
That person became angry upon hearing this, "Kid, are you out of your mind? Around here, we hit if we want to, what's it to you."
Ling Zhenfei said, "How is it not my business? I just can't stand you bullying people."
At this moment, Chu Yu recognized Ling Zhenfei's voice, lifted her head and indeed it was Ling Zhenfei, tears of excitement streaming down.
"Big Brother Ling, I'm Chu Yu, quickly save us."
The group understood upon hearing this, "So that's why you're meddling! Turns out you're with them, since you are, pay what they owe."
After the man finished speaking, his people swarmed up, surrounding Ling Zhenfei and Mo Lun.
Mo Lun was shocked and wanted to fight, but Ling Zhenfei held him back, saying, "This is our matter, you don't need to intervene, leave it to me."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Hold off on fighting first, if they really owe you, I'll help them pay, but if you're bullying, don't blame me for being impolite."
That man laughed upon hearing this, "Alright, that's what you said."
Ling Zhenfei said, "I've said it, but you need to tell us what happened first, I want to know how they owe you."
That person said, "It's nothing much, these two gambled at our place, bought our largest stone, but nothing came out, losing it all."
You know gambling on stones is win or lose, a cut can make or break, all depends on fate, losing and not paying, what kind of sense is that."
Ling Zhenfei laughed, "Don't think I don't know anything. Stone gambling involves paying first and then cutting, why didn't you ask them for money first? Clearly, there's something wrong here."
Ling Zhenfei's question hit the spot, almost pointing directly to the key; since stone gambling is betting money first, it's to prevent things like this.
Given that they cut the stone first, especially the largest one on their side, it clearly indicates there's definitely a problem.
Ling Zhenfei said, "This matter can't be heard from just one side, Chu Yu, tell me what happened?"
Chu Yu was released by then, because they thought anyway they couldn't escape.
Chu Yu said, "Big Brother Ling, we came to help my father buy stones, but we got curious and went to see the stone gambling. Someone approached us saying there's a stone likely to produce a valuable green."
But the stone is large, one person couldn't manage it, and needed someone to partner to cut it and split the profit.
My senior brother thought it was a good opportunity to make money and wanted to have a look, confident before partnering, but this person went and told the owner we were partners."
Because this stone had a small opening on it, we only glanced, and the person said no more look needed, it's set, and asked the owner to cut.
Unexpectedly, after the cut, nothing was revealed, then the person said it's bad luck, the stone's cost was six million, since partnering he'd pay three million and left, leaving the remaining for us to pay.
Ling Zhenfei realized immediately, Chu Yu and Qi Tianyu were still too young and deceived, clearly that person and owner were conspiring, mainly targeting such inexperienced people thinking they knew it all.
They were all into jade carving; if given a proper look they could surely see the stone was tampered with.
But firstly, they were toyed with, a seemingly guaranteed thing was created, secondly, the stone had an opening, showing there was jade inside.
