Chapter 161 Breakthrough Part 7

The shopkeeper looked at Su Lin with a very obvious hue of amusement in his eyes.

Poor woman. This time around he knew for a fact that he had a very low-grade raw stone batch in his inventory.

The quality of an unprocessed stone was mainly inspected by two factors. One being its origin and the other being its exterior.

When the origin of the ore was this hopeless, there was no chance for a precious stone to be hidden within these ordinary rocky exteriors.

He had even cut open and tested a random few earlier and as expected nothing useful popped out.

But this woman here weirdly hugged the rock as if her life depended on it!

The shopkeeper didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Today was just too lucky for him.

This woman even seemed to be a perfect candidate for him to sell these faulty materials.

She neither had any formidable background nor had anyone powerful with her.

She even went as far as to willingly pick a fight with the famous Su family!

So he definitely need not think twice before selling her this shit. There was absolutely no chance for any sort of repercussion later on in the future!

Just when the shopkeeper was rejoicing his heavenly good fortune, a huge brutish man appeared out of nowhere and banged on the table in the store.

"That is our Mo family's reserved goods. How dare a random woman lay her hands on our items?! Hmph."

Another guy appeared behind him and threw some sort of papers on his desk.

"How dare you collude with this person to sell off Master Mo's precious goods? Do you want to be reported to the Mo family elders??"

"Ah... Mo family ah..." The shopkeeper stuttered in fright. He instantly stood up and backed away a few steps.

The Mo family was a terrifying family in Hongkong!! Even in his wildest dreams, he can't possibly afford to offend such an earth-shattering family!

Tomorrow he and his own family might disappear into nothingness if he dared to disobey giants such as these.

"Please, sir... I... I apologize for this oversight. Please forgive me." The shopkeeper bowed down and literally begged.

"Hmph. Don't let it happen next time."

The tall sturdy man gave a condescending nod and generously forgave the repentant shopkeeper's minor oversight.

He then expectantly turned towards the random woman to forgive her as well.

Poor woman, I hope I haven't scared her too much. I need to bring her over to Master Mo as well.

The tall sturdy man calculated various scenarios in his mind and turned towards Su Lin. But the sight that met his eyes didn't quite sit right with him.

Hmmm... She doesn't seem to be trembling? The Mo family's underling pondered silently.

Forget about trembling... Actually, the woman didn't even seem to acknowledge his presence. What audacity?!

Fucking weirdo! Wait till the boss plays with you!

The tall sturdy man finally lost his patience and stepped forward to brashly drag Su Lin away from their supposedly reserved item.

Without any reservation, he touched her frail soft arm and roughly pulled it.

"Hey hey, careful. Don't damage the boss's goodies." Someone else interjected.

They all then snickered at their own pathetic double entendre joke.

The man turned around to pull up Su Lin but to his surprise, Su Lin hadn't even moved an inch. She still seemed to be in her own world.

In fact, he felt like he was pulling a stone...?? What the hell was happening?

He tugged at her some more and even then?

"What Ju Ju? You can't drag a woman away? Such a weakling haha." One of the other underlings stepped forward and tried to move Su Lin.

"....."

Same result!

The bright one in the group finally wised up and threw a bottle of water at her, managing to finally snap her back to reality.

Su Lin shook her head as if she was clearing her mind, and turned slowly to look at the two huge hands. One holding her shoulder and the other holding her arm.

She hardly even moved her eyes but the next instant an unfathomable killing intent assaulted the entire stall.

The two guys immediately removed their hands and everyone subconsciously took a step back.

They were all shaking and shivering in fright. They were hardly able to even stand up, with their knees buckling over.

After what felt like hours, but a mere few seconds Su Lin revealed a sweet gentle smile as she calmly retreated her aura back.

In her joy and excitement, she had completely forgotten about the people around her.

The gentle innocent-looking young woman, who was a ferocious lioness suddenly became a lamb and got up.

She dusted her ruffled clothes and asked the people in front of her with her cute voice, "What did you say?"

The thugs looked at each other hesitating to answer her simple question. Then one of them gathered his courage and quickly blurted out.

"This is our reserved items. You can't cheat us like this." Then as if it was an afterthought, he hurriedly added, "We are from the Mo family."

Su Lin smiled. She finally understood what was going on here. Some scum has unwittingly stuck to her and now even dared to claim her bounty.

"Sure. Feel free to take what is yours." She smiled and left the place.

Loud sighs echoed in the room. Phew.

"This matter quickly got resolved without escalating." The underling named Ju Ju spoke in relief.

"Pack up everything fast. And get it delivered to our warehouse in east Hangzhou. We still have some purchases left."

Meanwhile...

Su Lin fished out her phone from her limited edition purse and happily dialed a familiar number.

"Hubby. Some people here are bullying me." Su Lin cutely mumbled into her phone with a pouty face that could drive any man crazy ... well, at least a particular man crazy...
