Chapter 172: Chapter 172: 3 Billion

"No need. Just leave." Long Yifan said and was about to hang up the call when Long Yeiling reacted and snatched away the phone.

Long Yifan was so angry that he almost attacked Long Yeiling, but Gu Jin’s horse voice stopped him,

"Mr. Long? Mr. Long?"

Huh? From when did Gu Jin’s voice turn so... hoarse?

Taking advantage of Long Yifan’s surprise, Long Yeiling looked at the screen and his brows immediately furrowed.

Long Yifan’s heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly snatched the phone,

"I told you..."

But when he saw Gu Jin’s attire he was shocked too.

Within a few minutes, Gu Ji transformed into a man whose face was almost not visible due to his huge mustache and beard.

For a moment Long Yifan wanted to laugh out loud.

This...was she still...Gu Jin?

If not for the red eyes, he would have thought that the person in front of her wasn’t Gu Jin!

Even though he could discern that Gu Jin had disguised herself, and had no doubt that his ’brother’ would know this too, he was surprised that he couldn’t discern Gu Jin’s original looks.

After all, he had seen many disgusting techniques, as long as the person wasn’t at the Emperor rank, he could guarantee that he could recognize how the other party truly looked.

But in Gu Jin’s case, it was different.

If he didn’t know how Gu Jin looked originally, he would never be able to guess her true appearance if this was how Gu Jin had met him the first time.

Unaware of Long Yifan’s thoughts Gu Jin said in an enthusiastic tone,

"Mr. Long Yifan, how did you suddenly turn so ugly? Did you undergo plastic surgery within a minute?"

Long Yeiling: "..." Such a poisonous tongue.

Does the guy mean that he is not as good-looking as Long Yifan?

Long Yeiling’s face turned black.

Long Yifan on the other hand wanted to laugh.

This was the first time when someone had insulted Long Yeiling other than his sister(Jasmine).

But what made him even more amused was Gu Jin’s words. Did she just praise him for being handsome?

Long Yifan couldn’t help but become thrilled.

He even praised Gu Jin for having good eyesight!

Long Yifan knew in his heart that Long Yeiling was as handsome as him. What makes him even more attractive is the fact that he is the heir to the Long family, and the entire Long Family supports him.

Just these facts alone made Long Yeiling more appealing than him.

Long Yifan knew that any girl who knew about Long Yeilling and his identity would definitely choose Long Yeiling.

Looks like Gu Jin doesn’t know about Yeiling’s identity!

Long Yifan thought. He didn’t want to admit but he felt relieved.

"Hey buddy, you are being harsh. Oh, right! I forgot to introduce myself! My name is Long Yeiling!" Long Yeiling was displeased, but he decided to give the other party a chance to redeem himself.

Gu Jin was about to continue with her roasting when she paused.

Long Yeiling?

"Are you perhaps the ’big brother’ of Mr. Long Yifan?" Gu Jin asked in a curious tone.

"Exactly!" Long Yeiling nodded his head.

Gu Jin’s eyes widened and she suddenly said with even more enthusiasm,

"I have heard about you! You are a person who has great treasure-seeking ability, right?"

"Oh! I am not that great." Long Yeiling waved his hand but his heart couldn’t help but become delighted.

He gave Long Yifan a side glance and found that his face had darkened.

Long Yeiling became even more happy.

"No! I know about you! You are the most handsome, most talented, and most amazing person in the entire Long family." Gu Jin praised.

"Is that so? I don’t think so Yifan would agree with such words." Long Yeiling stared at Long Yifan whose face was turning increasingly dark.

What made him even more delighted was how Long Yifan was tapping his legs.

It was clear that he was anxious.

Looks like the salesman was much more important to Long Yifan than he thought...

Long Yeiling was satisfied with the salesman’s praise and was about to ask him to stop when Long Yifan suddenly said in a dark tone,

"Return me, my phone. Now!"

Long Yifan couldn’t explain how anxious he was.

Did Gu Jin start to like Long Yeiling after hearing his name?

Otherwise, why would she praise him so much? She even indirectly said that only Long Yifan wasn’t comparable to Long Yeiling.

"Nope!"

"No!"

The two people said at the same time.

Seeing that Gu Jin declined too, Long Yifan felt an unknown fire in his heart.

He was about to scold Long Yeiling when he heard Gu Jin’s hurried voice,

"Mr. Long Yeiling, I think Mr. Long doesn’t want you to know about the treasure in my hand, hence he is so anxious."

At this point Long Yifan paused.

Treasure?

What treasure?

Was she talking about the black stone? Well, they were indeed treasures! Did she truly want to please Long Yeiling so much that she was willing to tell him about the treasure?

"Really? What treasure! But wait! Why are you telling me about the treasure? Aren’t you, his acquaintance?"

Before Long Yifan could interrupt their deal, he heard Gu Jin say,

"No! To be honest this is my second time meeting Mr. Long. We have never talked before. The first time we hurriedly completed the transaction hence we didn’t have the time to talk so much and the second time is now."

Long Yifan frowned.

Wait!

If Gu Jin truly liked Long Yeiling more then shouldn’t she show her true face to Long Yeiling?

Why was she still in disguise?

And most importantly, it is very strange that she was trying to create an impression that she doesn’t know him(Long Yifan) at all!

What was she planning?

Long Yifan felt as if today he was going to watch a very nice show.

Seeing his frown, Long Yeiling was even more sure that Longh Yifan was hurt.

With excitement in his heart, since this was the first time he had ever seen Long Yifan so hurt, Long Yeiling asked,

"So what is the treasure?"

"This." Gu Jin lifted the black stone and showed it to Long Yeiling.

Even though Long Yeiling wasn’t involved in the field of armament, he still knew that the material was very familiar.

He tried to recall where he had seen the stone before, but couldn’t quite place it. Curiosity piqued, he leaned closer to the screen.

"May I ask what this is?" Long Yeiling’s tone was now respectful, the stone’s potential importance not lost on him.

"Why don’t you ask Mr. Long Yifan?" Gu Jin suggested.

After all, she too didn’t know what these black stones were...

Long Yifan’s eyes darted between Gu Jin and Long Yeiling, trying to decipher Gu Jin’s endgame.

He didn’t know what she was planning, but he decided to play along.

"Zerg Blacky."

Just the two words were enough to make Long Yeiling’s eyes bright.

Zerg Blacky was the rarest stone. Even a 25 gram of the stone could be sold for 1 million!

And according to the stone in Gu Jin’s hand, it should be at least 20kg!

He leaned closer to the screen, his eyes widening as he took in the full significance of what Gu Jin was holding.

"Zerg Blacky? Are you sure?" he asked, barely able to contain his excitement.

Gu Jin nodded confidently. "Absolutely. This stone is not only rare but has immense value. And considering its weight, we’re looking at a fortune here."

He glanced at Long Yifan, who was still trying to gauge the situation.

"Why didn’t you tell me about this earlier?" Long Yeiling demanded his tone a mix of accusation and excitement.

"I wanted to be certain of its authenticity before involving anyone else," Long Yifan replied, maintaining his composure.

"Now that we know what it is, we need to figure out our next steps."

Gu Jin, sensing an opportunity to solidify her position, chimed in,

"Indeed, Mr. Long Yifan had said that as long as the black stone is truly Zerg Blacky he would buy from us again!

So, Mr. Long Yeiling are you interested in buying it?"

"Yes, I am!" Long Yeiling said instantly.

"I too want to buy it." Long Yifan said hastily. He didn’t understand what Gu Jin’s motive was but he couldn’t bear to let go of the Zerg Blacky Stone!

Gu Jin shook her head with pity in her eyes and said,

"Mr. Long Yifan, I only have 2 such stones! "

Long Yifan’s eyes widened at Gu Jin’s statement. "Only two?" he echoed, the desperation in his voice evident.

Long Yeiling smirked, sensing his brother’s unease.

"I will give you 2 billion, give me both the stones!"

Long Yifan was furious and said,

"I will give you 3 billion! Those Zerg Blacky shouldn’t belong to anyone but me!"
