Chapter 301: Chapter 301: Looking Down on Others from a High Place

Wang Hao resolutely refused Xing Hua’s partnership; at that moment, the atmosphere inside the room suddenly grew tense.

"Wang Hao, you’ve chosen this path yourself, and you’ll have to face the consequences!"

Xing Hua said coldly, then left in a huff.

Wang Hao clearly felt that after Xing Hua had left the game hall, that oppressive aura had also vanished without a trace.

Therefore, Wang Hao deduced that Xing Hua must have done something secretly, but he was still somewhat puzzled, what could it be that just by its scent could cause such indescribable pressure?

"Wang Hao, what exactly did Xing Hua talk to you about?"

As soon as Xing Hua had left, Sun Lao San hurried into the office and asked.

"He wanted us to help him find Wild Bear."

Wang Hao said lightly.

"Is it just that simple?"

Sun Lao San found it hard to believe.

"Though it seems simple, I feel this person is too scheming, which is why I didn’t agree. However, we still need to find that Wild Bear, we can’t let him leave Zao City."

Thinking about the supernatural expert Xing Hua mentioned, Wang Hao felt that it was better to stay vigilant—better to believe it existed than not.

"Okay, I’ll make the arrangements at once!"

Sun Lao San didn’t think too much about it; he trusted that Wang Hao had his reasons for his actions.

Wang Hao was quite confident in Sun Lao San’s capabilities, so he entrusted the matter to him.

There were still a pile of matters awaiting Wang Hao’s attention, he couldn’t stay there forever.

After leaving Deshan Game Hall, Wang Hao went straight back to Zao City, to see Zheng Cailian and Ya Ya.

Under the care arranged by Shen Bo, the mother and daughter were doing well, and Ya Ya’s illness had also been temporarily controlled.

Zheng Cailian was very happy to see Wang Hao, and disregarding the medical staff present, she threw herself into his arms.

Wang Hao gently stroked Zheng Cailian’s back and said tenderly,

"It’s all right now. I’ve said I would find a way to treat Ya Ya. It’s just that you and Ya Ya have suffered during this time."

Zheng Cailian looked up at Wang Hao, her face filled with joy.

She reached out and firmly grasped Wang Hao’s hand that was at her waist.

"Haozi, having you is just so wonderful!"

Wang Hao nodded with a smile.

Just then, a nurse standing by coughed twice, interrupting the warm atmosphere between the two.

Zheng Cailian quickly let go of Wang Hao’s hand and stepped back, maintaining a distance from him.

Wang Hao frowned and asked,

"Nurse, what’s the matter?"

The nurse glanced at her clipboard and said to Wang Hao,

"Ya Ya’s checkup just finished, and she keeps asking for her mother."

Upon hearing the nurse, Zheng Cailian immediately went in to accompany her daughter. Wang Hao peeked in to see their blissful smiles together and left reassured.

On his way back to the Wen Family, Wang Hao suddenly remembered the strange old man he had encountered when buying jade, so he got off at the cultural relics district.

This strange old man had once mentioned he too had been helped by a supernatural power; his experiences were surely greater than Wang Hao’s.

Thus, about the things Xing Hua had mentioned, Wang Hao decided to inquire with the strange old man.

However, Wang Hao searched the trading district twice and could not find the old man; even after checking the place where the old man lived, he was nowhere to be found.

So, Wang Hao headed back to the cultural relics trading district to ask around.

He remembered that the owner of the largest jade shop in the district seemed to be quite familiar with the strange old man, so he went to the jade shop.

But when Wang Hao arrived here, he was also stunned by the sight before him; the jade store was packed with people inside and out, feeling like the door was about to be pushed open by the crowd.

"Boss!"

Wang Hao stood outside and shouted loudly.

"Who are you? Can’t you see everyone is queuing? Hurry up and wait at the end of the line!"

A few fashionably dressed people in front glanced at Wang Hao with disdain.

These were all here to buy jade, as Wang Hao had visited this jade store before the three big families had started their stone gambling.

With the owner’s various flattery, the store had already become famously far and wide, doing tremendously well in business.

Everyone was squeezing their heads in, wanting to buy jade here, just to try their luck.

If they managed to buy good jade, they could also advertise for the store, and it didn’t matter if they bought just an ordinary stone, because it was all about gambling on stones—where there was gambling, there were wins and losses.

So every day, the store’s entrance was crammed with people drawn by its reputation.

Now, the jade inside the store was in such high demand that the situation had turned into what Wang Hao was seeing: many people scrambling to buy jade together.

"Alright, this jade piece is 1.5 million, take it away!"

An excited shouting from the owner suddenly came from inside the store.

Hearing that the best jade of the day had already been sold, the others showed disappointed faces.

They had all come for that piece of jade, and knowing it was sold, many were prepared to leave feeling let down.

The person who bought the jade however, had a smug look on his face.

It was only when the crowd thinned out that Wang Hao managed to squeeze into the jade store, but the owner was in the back writing a receipt for the person who had bought the jade.

Wang Hao glanced at the stone the person had bought and couldn’t help but nod repeatedly.

This jade indeed looked good; it was full of fine green jade, with very good quality and not a single impurity.

At 1.5 million, it could be said that they had made a significant profit.

The jade buyer was a middle-aged man, dressed formally and appropriately, looking like a successful professional.

"Young man, you know about jade, too?"

The middle-aged man glanced at Wang Hao, who he thought looked like a farmer and probably could not understand jade.

"I know a bit!"

Wang Hao murmured.

"I think you don’t know shit!"

The middle-aged man sneered mockingly.

"Looking at you all farmer-like, I’d say you probably know more about farming than jade. Have you ever even tried stone gambling? That’s a game for the rich, I bet you haven’t even seen it."

Wang Hao gave a wry smile and didn’t bother with the middle-aged man any further.

"Kid, you aren’t here to buy jade as well, are you? With your poor look, I think you better forget it, don’t embarrass yourself if you can’t afford the high price!"

The middle-aged man continued to mock. freёwebnovel.com

Wang Hao, not wishing to talk to such a person, just quietly waited for the owner to finish his tasks.

"Hey, I’m talking to you, didn’t you hear? Are you deaf?"

The middle-aged man was relentless.

"This piece of jade, one alone is worth 1.5 million—can you afford it? Looking at you, you might not make this much money in your whole lifetime of farming. Better try your luck at the street stalls outside, this place isn’t something you can afford!"

The surrounding people frowned secretly after hearing the middle-aged man’s words, thinking does buying a good piece of jade warrant showing off and mocking others here?

However, they looked at Wang Hao and felt that he indeed looked like a farmer, who should be doing rough work in the fields and wasn’t supposed to be here.

Observing their snide demeanors, Wang Hao didn’t understand where they got their sense of superiority; just having a bit of money seemed to make them feel great. So he bypassed these people and casually started fiddling with a few pieces of jade on the shelf.

But these people didn’t seem to decide to leave Wang Hao alone just because of his forbearance...
