Chapter 1081 Perplexed and Smitten 141
Jin Qingyan smiled at him and said, “Aphrodisiacs are just going to make you impotent sooner. I obviously wouldn’t take them.”
“How long can you last in bed now?”
“Make a guess.”
Long Tianze stuck his finger out and asked, “One hour? Am I right?”
“At least one hour, if I’m feeling energized.”
“What the heck!?! You’re impressive! I must learn from you. Please share your secrets with me,” Long Tianze said in awe. He continued, “I’m getting weak and almost impotent… please impart your secret skills with me.”
“I’ll tell you if you give me this much,” said Jin Qingyan, sticking three fingers out.
“Three hundred thousand dollars again?”
“This concerns you and your wife’s sex life. I don’t usually share my secrets with others. Take it or leave it.”
Long Tianze exclaimed in disgruntlement, “Master Jin, are you even human? Why are you such a money-grubber? Who am I? I’m your best buddy. How could you treat me this way!?!”
“Okay, I’m not going to tell you anymore. You don’t have to give me any money either. This is a transaction between two willing parties.”
Feeling a little indignant and refusing to give up. He decided to conceded after much consideration. “One hundred thousand dollars. Take it or leave it.”
“Okay, deal. Transfer the money to me first.”
Long Tianze thought that Jin Qingyan would stick to his principles and insist on charging him 300 thousand dollars. Yet he actually…
Had I known earlier, I would have just offered ten thousand.
His pride seemed to have gotten in the way when it came to having a discussion about such matters. He could not help but feel embarrassed.
However, he was Long Tianze!
“Ten thousand.”
Jin Qingyan turned around in a bid to leave. “Save that for yourself,” he said.
Long Tianze hurriedly grabbed onto him and said, “Hey, hey, hey, don’t go yet. I’ll transfer the money to you. I’ll do it right now. One hundred thousand dollars it is.”
He whipped out his mobile phone and transferred the money to Jin Qingyan immediately. He then asked eagerly, “Just what secrets do you have? Hurry and tell me.”
“Can you last for half an hour now?”
“About there.”
“And you’d like to last for at least an hour?”
“Yes.”
“That’s easy. Just do your foreplay for forty minutes.”
Long Tianze was momentarily speechless. Dumbfounded, he asked, “Is that what you do?”
“No, our foreplay is really short.”
“Can you share some constructive and substantial secrets with me?”
“The secret is to just hurry up and nourish your kidney. I’ll get Shixin to send you some expensive tonic when we’re back in S Nation.”
“You’ve duped me again! I want the root of the old tree!”
The root that Long Tianze was talking about was an extremely rare and expensive tonic that resembled a tree root and was meant for nourishing one’s kidney. It could not be found on the market at all and would usually cost more than 200 thousand dollars. Jin Qingyan did have a few stalks of the herb in his warehouse. He said with raised brows, “You’re asking for the tree root when you’ve only offered 100 thousand dollars? Are you dreaming?”
“Why don’t you give me a discount and sell one stalk to me at 100 thousand dollars?” Long Tianze asked with a sheepish grin.
“No, you can’t buy that stuff anymore, even if you have money.”
Long Tianze had long wanted to get his hands on the herb. However, he had been refraining from buying it because of how expensive it was. Now that he was certain that Jin Qingyan must have been consuming the herb, he decided that he can’t lag too far behind. He asked, “What must I do before you’re willing to sell it to me?”
“I’ll sell it to you if you’re willing to fork out two million dollars. I won’t make a profit off of you, but I can’t incur a loss either. Aren’t you aware of how great a discount I gave you when I sold the mansion to you back then?”
Long Tianze patted him on his shoulder and said, “I’m aware, buddy. Two million dollars it shall be, then. I’ll transfer 1.9 million dollars to you right now. That’ll make up two million, including the 100 thousand I had transferred to you just now. Get your people to deliver it to my house immediately. I’ll call my men later.”
“Look how eager you’re getting.”
“How could I not be eager? I’m a year younger than you are and yet there’s such a drastic difference between us. Jin, you shall be held liable if there are no effective results.”
“Are you a fool? If it’s ineffective, who would spend that much money on it? I’ve been keeping them and saving them for future purposes. They’ve been sitting at home for a long time. The value of this herb is now way higher than two million dollars. Go online to check if you don’t believe me.”
He immediately went on the internet to check on the prices of the herb, only to find that its value had indeed soared to exorbitant prices. After transferring the money to Jin Qingyan, he called his servants to verify if the herb had been safely delivered to his home. He could finally put his mind at ease after hearing that they had put it away properly.
“Why aren’t they back yet?”
“Three women make a market, four a fair. Why are you so impatient?”
Ding! The doors opened, and An Xiaoning showed up at the door together with Mei Yangyang. They both had a grave expression on their faces.
“What’s wrong?”
“We went to look for Erlan and she took a really long time to answer the door. A service attendant who walked past informed us that Erlan had left with her boyfriend. I initially thought that he was referring to Xiao Chenyang. After taking a few steps forward, I asked the attendant again if it was a good-looking man. However, the attendant dissented and said that it was an average-looking man who was not that tall. He also said that they seemed to be having a couple’s tiff and that Erlan was hitting and berating him while he tried to coax her. I knew something had gone wrong the moment I heard that. We asked to watch the surveillance camera footages, but the staff at the front desk refused to let us view them. Can we find Xiao Chenyang?”
“I’ll try looking for him,” said Jin Qingyan, who immediately left.
An Xiaoning and Mei Yangyang looked at each other before closing the door.
“It can’t be the DK Organization, can it?”
“Why would they abduct Erlan? Erlan doesn’t even know them…” An idea popped up in An Xiaoning’s mind and she added, “Could it be Xihou Jiaping? It shouldn’t be him either…”
When Xihou Jiaping pretended to be Xiao Chenyang’s brother and visited Erlan, she didn’t leak any clues at all. Hence, it can’t be the case.
Just why was Erlan taken away…
She could not figure it out.
The three of them waited patiently.
Half an hour later, Jin Qingyan returned and said, “Xiao Chenyang has gone to look for her.”
“Qingyan, shall we help out and search for her too?”
“No, things are rather chaotic outside. Let’s stay together for now. I believe he has the ability to find Fang Erlan and bring her back safely.”
….
Meanwhile, Fang Erlan was locked up in a huge cage. There were numerous wolves outside the cage, all of which had an emerald glow.
They were pacing back and forth outside the cage and growling at her menacingly while sizing up their prey.
Fang Erlan wrapped her arms around herself tightly and curled up into a ball in the center of the cage. She was paralyzed by fear and absolutely regretted her decision to open the door for a stranger.
If she hadn’t done that, she wouldn’t have been brought here forcefully.
Will someone discover that I’ve gone missing?
She did not have an answer.
All she could feel was fear.
She was afraid that the abductor would release the wolves into the cage and let them devour her.
She heard footsteps coming down the stairs, and two figures appeared, a woman taking the lead. “Is this the person we’re supposed to look for?”
“Yes, there’s no mistake.”
Scanning Fang Erlan from head to toe, the woman remarked, “She doesn’t look like her at all.” She said to Fang Erlan, “Look up.”
Fang Erlan raised her head and looked up at the woman.
The moment the woman saw her features, she turned to slap the man and exclaimed, “I told you to abduct the woman in room 1238! Who’s this person you’ve brought? You can’t even get such a simple thing done. What am I paying you for!?!”
