Happy Shennong

Chapter 389 Luck Plus Strength

Ma Kui scratched his head, and said with some embarrassment: "Brother Lei, I'm curious, how did you manage to make a steady profit from betting on stones? Or, how do you choose rough stones?"

"Would you believe me if I said I was lucky?" Linley asked with a smile.

"I don't believe it! You picked three rough stones yourself, and two of them turned out emeralds. If you have to say it's luck, it's barely acceptable. However, the rough stones you picked out for Xiong Da and me all turned out emeralds. If you say it is luck, then your luck is really against the sky. And not only today, you seem to have never lost money betting on stones before. One time can be called luck, and two times can also be called luck, but 'luck' comes one after another , That’s due to strength. I think I’m not the only one, I don’t believe you are just gambling with luck, right?”

Ma Kui looked at Xiong Da as if to verify his reasoning.The latter nodded: "I also think that for Lei Ge to be invincible in the stone gambling industry, besides good luck, what is more important is the ability to eat this bowl of rice."

Linley touched his temples, and said with a smile, "Actually, it's not as complicated as you think. I just chose based on my feeling. But I don't know what's going on, but every time I bet on stones, I feel very good."

Ma Kui felt a little confused, touched his forehead and said: "Brother Lei, since you have this ability, why do you rarely see you betting on stones? If you come every day, what kind of business are you doing? Pick a few rough stones every day, Not to mention earning millions or hundreds of thousands, tens of thousands or tens of thousands in a few days is fine."

"You have to know, God is more fair." Linley waved his hand, and said solemnly, "God gave me a keen sense that seems to be against the sky, and there are certain restrictions, that feeling is not every day. Yes. Otherwise, as you said, wouldn't I not have to work?"

"So that's the case. Brother Lei, then you should have felt it for a few days, why don't you pick a few more?"

"This is another limiting factor, that is, good rough stones are not encountered every day. In each batch of rough stones that the rough stone store enters, the number of high-value rough stones is very limited. It is even possible There have been several batches of rough stones in which there are no particularly high-value rough stones. It can be said that high-value rough stones are hard to come by. These two restrictions are the reason why I don’t often gamble on stones.”

Ma Kui nodded: "Brother Lei, what do you mean, in such a big store, there are no more valuable rough stones except the ones we picked today?"

"Basically it can be said that, but my feeling is not 100% accurate. I don't guarantee that there will be no fish that slipped through the net. Taking a step back, even if I find that there are more valuable ones, I can't buy them all at once. That way If so, for a long period of time in the future, no one in Boss Gu’s shop will cut out good things, which will affect the business. Boss Gu treats me well, and I can’t harm him.”

"Speaking of Boss Gu, what is he doing with you today?"

Linley didn't hide anything, and told Ma Kui and Xiong Da about the two things that Gu Weixiong told him.Then, he also said his answer.

Xiong Da was very curious when he heard this: "Brother Lei, Boss Gu invited you to participate in the stone gambling event, that is a great thing. Not only can you expand the social circle of the stone gambling industry, but you may also encounter good business opportunities during the event. With your keen sense, you definitely won't run in vain. But you...why didn't you just agree? Brother Lei, you don't want to play hard to get, do you?"

"No." Linley shook his head, "It's still the same sentence, Boss Gu took me well, and I will definitely not cheat him. The reason why I didn't agree for the time being is because of another favor. Boss Gu used to invite Kong I always attended the grand event together, and this year, Kong Lao was away, so he found me. But if Kong Lao came back before the grand event started, wouldn’t I steal his limelight?”

"It makes sense. People at the level of Mr. Kong have everything, but they usually care about their reputation. If a junior steals the limelight, he should mind."

"So, first of all, I have to confirm whether Mr. Kong will be able to come back before the event, so that I can give Boss Gu an accurate answer."

The three chatted for a while before arriving at the bank.Lin Lei went to handle business, while Ma Kui called Captain Shi and made an appointment for a specific meeting place.When Linley finished his business and rushed back to the entrance of the Gambling Stone Market, he found that Hou Yongqiang and Captain Shi were already waiting for them.

Although Hou Yongqiang still has a bald head, he took off his prison uniform and put on ordinary people's clothes, and he changed instantly, giving people a completely different feeling.If a stranger saw him, he probably wouldn't think that he had just come out of prison.Because he inherited Lao Hou's face, he looks kind and doesn't look like a bad guy.

Captain Shi went up to Lin Lei, pointed at Hou Yongqiang, and said with a smile, "Hand over Hou Yongqiang to you, and my mission will be considered complete. I hope this result will not disappoint Boss Lin."

"It doesn't exist." Linley waved his hand, "I know all about the hard work you put in for Hou Yongqiang's case, and I am deeply anxious."

"Boss Lin is serious. I'm only doing my job, and it's also my duty. Don't worry about it. Then you guys talk first, and I have to go back before I get off work."

"Then I'll contact you after you get off work, and we'll have a meal together later. Captain Shi will definitely reward you."

"Good talk!"

Captain Shi nodded and returned to his car.

Linley watched Captain Shi leave, turned around and stretched out his right hand to Hou Yongqiang, and said with a smile, "Congratulations on regaining your freedom!"

"Thank you." Hou Yongqiang nodded and said sincerely, "I was prepared to serve 12 years in prison. If I hadn't met you, I would never have come out so early. I will remember your kindness." Done. When I have the ability, I will repay twice as much!"

"Although I am not a law enforcement officer, I can't tolerate people being imprisoned wrongly. Everything I do is based on the guidance of my heart, not for your reward. Okay, let's not talk about this, I think, you are in a hurry Come here, do you want to go home and have a look?"

"Yeah." Hou Yongqiang looked at the opposite side and said slowly, "I'm unfilial. Not only did I fail to protect my father, I didn't even see my father's last face..."

"The situation is special, I believe your father will not blame you..."

Linley comforted Hou Yongqiang a few words, and then crossed the road.

Back then, Lao Hou sold all his houses in the suburbs in order to fight a lawsuit against Hou Yongqiang and to see a doctor for his wife.As a result, the money was spent, the lawsuit was not won, and the wife was not cured.Later, alone, with the help of kind-hearted people, he rented a house here, rented a front door, and opened a small restaurant.The main business is dumplings, and there are also some parents' stir-fries.

Since Lao Hou's death, the house he rented has been vacant, and no one dared to rent it.Even the front door is considered an ominous place, and it has been left unused.The landlord is quite kind. Seeing Hou Yongqiang came back, he didn't mention the loss caused by Lao Hou to her family. Instead, he comforted Hou Yongqiang a few words and said that he would keep all Lao Hou's things.

Hou Yongqiang walked around the house and remembered his father. In the end, he took nothing away except the only photo of the three of them.

Linley asked Ma Kui to take Hou Yongqiang into the car first, while he himself stayed at the end, quietly gave the landlord 3000 yuan, and said softly: "Sister, thank you for everything you have done for Lao Hou. You take this money and return it to me." I would like to trouble you to clean up the things in Lao Hou's house, they don't need them anymore, and they won't renew the lease of the house. I'm sorry for the loss Lao Hou caused to your family. "

"Hey, what a happy family." The landlord sighed, took the money, looked at the direction of Hou Yongqiang's departure, and said meaningfully, "After going through a lot of hardships, I just hope that their mother and son can live in peace. go down."

"Yes." Linley nodded to the landlord and left.

When Linley returned to the car, Hou Yongqiang said that he wanted to pay homage to his father.Naturally, Linley didn't refuse, and took him to buy a sacrifice, and then came to the cemetery.

Hou Yongqiang knelt for 10 minutes in front of Lao Hou's tombstone.From the staring at the very beginning, it turned into a low voice, and she couldn't help but shed tears, and in the end, she broke down in tears and prostrated herself on the ground.Crying heart-piercingly, regretting dizzily.

Lin Lei was going to comfort her at first, but under the influence of Hou Yongqiang, he unconsciously thought of Grandma Lin, and his mood also became depressed, always feeling blocked and panicked.Both Ma Kui and Xiong Da were moved.

In the end, it was Ma Kui who helped Hou Yongqiang up.

Linley also came back to his senses and comforted Hou Yongqiang.Then he also squatted down, lit three cigarettes, stuck them in front of the tombstone, and said slowly: "Old Hou, I'm sorry. If I knew that you would cause disaster after you gave me that book, I would never I want it. It’s a pity that there is no medicine for regret in this world... I know that Aunt Chen and Yongqiang should be the ones you worry about the most. I have already found the best doctor and used the best medicine, Aunt Chen The recovery is very good. Maybe, one day, her old man will recover as before. Yongqiang has been cleared of his charges and regained his freedom. Don't worry, I will do my best to help them live a good life. ..."

Ma Kui and Xiong Da also came over, and the three of them bowed deeply to Lao Hou's tombstone at the same time.

Linley returned to the car and found that it was already six o'clock, so he asked Xiong Da to drive directly to pick up Captain Shi.It is agreed that if you invite someone to dinner, you can't make them wait for a long time.

After picking up Captain Shi, Lin Lei led the team to a high-end restaurant under the catering department of the Wanlong Group.He, who has the highest level membership card, does not need to make an appointment, the waiter directly arranged a private room for him.In order to prevent others from rushing to pay the bill, Xiong Da first paid 2000 yuan as a deposit.

Seeing this scene, Hou Yongqiang scratched his head in embarrassment: "I'm really sorry, everyone, I should have invited you for today's meal. But I'm so cash-strapped that I really can't afford it..."

"It's nothing." Linley smiled brightly, "I'll remember it for you first!"
