Chapter 173: Power Era
" This ...."
Fan Ru was so embarrassed that this argument seemed really logical and she didn't know what to say, it made her look like a trickster trying to steal from others.
" In this case, show me the necklace, I can tell the truth. "
Lan Chen approached with a proud face, he was upset about being ignored before, but now he got a chance to show his abilities, of course, he will not miss it, especially in order to win the favor of a beauty like Fan Ru.
Fan Ru asked, "The Gambling King? What do you mean by you can tell the truth? "
Lan Chen smiled proudly and said, " As the number one gambler in the world and the Gambling King, it's natural that I possess many skills, evaluate artifacts and jewelry among these skills, I can know if the jade stone was extracted from this necklace a long time ago or not, if it was less then one day, then what Miss Fan said is true. "
" Wow, as is expected of the Gambling King, no wonder he has never lost a bet before, because he's really knowledgeable!! "
Rui Feiyue jumped happily and had it not been for everyone's presence, she estimated that she had jumped towards Lan Chen.
Lan Chen didn't dare to be so proud he said, " Haha , it's just a little tricks. My little experience is nothing compared to the experts who have spent their lives studying archeology, especially that the history of Huaxia is deep like the ocean. "
Fan Ru turned to Shi Tu and said, " What does Young Master Shi think? "
" Sure, you can take a look "
Shi Tu handed the necklace to Lan Chen as he took out the red jade stone and also handed it to him.
Lan Chen carefully examined the necklace and the jade stone and looked like a real expert.
On the side, the eyes of the three foreign were sparkling, it seemed that the capabilities of this Lan Chen were really high, and it's no wonder that Lawrence insisted on including him at all costs.
After some time, Lan Chen finished inspecting the necklace and nodded
, "It looks like Miss Fan Ru didn't lie. This jade stone was removed from this necklace two days ago at most. "
" Really? That's good. "
Fan Ru was delighted with Lan Chen's judge, she feared he would lack the skill or sell the favor of Shi Tu and say it's false.
" Young Master Shi, what do you think? "
Shi Tu replied, " Mere words are not evidence, what made you reach this conclusion? "
" That's right. "
Lu Huang advanced, " You have already admitted yourself that you are not an expert, so you may be wrong. It's better if you tell us your reasons so that we are convinced. "
Lan Chen didn't seem upset at all because this unexpected development, on the contrary, he would doubt in those that believe his words easily
" First, look at this jade stone. "
Lan Chen handed the red jade stone to Shi Tu and pointed at it at some scratches, " It's just a little dirty. It was clearly preserved in a place where it's well cared for, and there is only a little dust that left no scratches, which means that it was not on the ground for a long time. "
Lan Chen handed the necklace to Fan Ru and continued, " There are also some recent scratches on the jade stone that correspond to the fixing pins in the necklace. It's likely that the one who removed the jade stone was not an expert and did it in a hurry and this supports the story of Miss Fan Ru. "
Fan Ru could not hold back her happiness, she said, "The Gambling King really lives up to his reputation as a king, with many skills!! "
" I dare not accept this praise. " Lan Shen responded humbly.
" What does Young Master Shi think? Is he ready to return the jade stone? " Ji Ran confidently asked.
Ji Ran didn't seem to ask for Shi Tu's opinion, only to give him a face by looking at her victorious face
Fan Ru looked at Ji Ran with gratitude before she said, " Yes, please Young Master Shi, this necklace is really important to the Fan family, although the necklace and the jade stone are not worth much, but the necklace is a family heirloom. "
" I understand and I'm sure what you said is true, but ..... Why should I return it to you? "
" W-What do you mean? "
Fan Ru was surprised by Shi Tu's statement and didn't understand what he was saying, " It's mine, it belongs to the Fan family, it's natural for you to return it to me, that what should happen. "
Shi Tu asked, " Why do you think this is what should happen? "
Fan Ru didn't understand what Shi Tu is talking about, the necklace and the jade stone is her, isn't it common sense to return it to her? Why does he say all this?
Lu Huang and Sun Chiwei both frowned and seemed to understand what Shi Tu intended.
" Hey, don't you want to return the jade stone to its owner? Do you know this is stealing? "
Ji Ran stepped forward and pointed towards Shi Tu angrily, but she was flying happiness inside.
" Do you dare to steal in front of the three Young Masters and before the Gambling King? After you have lost all your wealth and influence do you think you can still do what you want with some relationship with the Bull army? "
Ji Ran's words were so full of attacks on Shi Tu that she even confirmed that he wanted to steal and didn't give him any opportunity to respond.
Ji Ran didn't believe that Shi Tu dared to be rampant in front of the three Young Masters, as for the Gambling King, many are willing to offer him a favor in order to gain his favor, it will not be difficult for them to trample on Shi Tu.
No matter Shi Tu influenced is, it's impossible for him to oppose these four or they will have to deal with him even if they don't want in order to keep their face.
Sun Chiwei frowned and grabbed Ji Ran and pulled her back.
'This fool, can she not see the situation? Can't she see everyone's actions towards Shi Tu? Just for a verbal argument with Arcana she wants to exaggerate the situation? '
Sun Chiwei made a decision in his heart to get rid of this woman as soon as they return to the Sun residence. This woman might one day drag the Sun family into perdition, if the Sun family managed to survive the next war.
Shi Tu was a little surprised and said sarcastically, " unexpected you can understand this? You're right, I'm stealing it. "
Shi Tu raised his hand and showed the necklace that Lan Chen was supposed to returned it to Fan Ru.
" I'll take this too. "
Seeing the necklace in Shi Tu's hands, Fan Ru's face became extremely pale.
Lan Chen's eyes narrowed so badly that he couldn't notice Shi Tu's movements, could it be reasonable that Shi Tu possessed skills beyond him?
" You .... this is a bully!! "
Shi Tu mocked and looked at Fan Ru, " And? What can you do? "
" You going too far!! how can you be so rude? Don't you have any principles? You dare steal in public? Don't you give any respect to the laws? "
Rui Feiyue screamed as Ji Ran wanted to advance as well, but Sun Chiwei blocked her and held her so tightly that she felt her hand might break at any moment.
" Master, don't you think you've gone a little too far? "
Lu Huang stepped forward and said in a low voice.
If Shi Tu had been doing this to Fan Xian, Luo Huang wouldn't have cared any less, but Lu Huang was always kind to women, even if Fan Ru was wrong, he couldn't help but try to help her.
"The color of this stone is beautiful red, it reminds me of strawberry, and it happened that red is my wife's favorite color and strawberry is her favorite so I decided to give this necklace to my wife. "
" This isn't a reason for stealing! " Fan Ru screamed
" Of course, but it doesn't look that you will sell me this necklace, look at yourself, you seems as if you are going to die "
" Young Master Shi, why don't you return this necklace to her? I'll bring you one more precious of these with the same specifications, I'm sure Ms. Shi wouldn't be pleased if you offered her a cheap item. "
Du Wang also tried to intercede, he couldn't stand still without doing anything.
Shi Tu indifferently replied, " No, I want this, so I took it. Where's the problem? "
" Shi Tu " Sun Chiwei grate his teeth and offer also to mediate, " The Fan family is very influential and also has some relationships with my Sun Family, so give me some face and return her necklace. It can be considered that this Sun Chiwei owes you a favor. "
" I agree. "
Lan Chen also advanced, " Miss Fan may have sinned, but forgiveness is always better, and it's not good for your reputation to push a woman to this extent. "
Seeing this, Su Yang gave a sarcastic smile but some sorrow appeared in his eyes and thought.
' Fools who don't know their position, the era of morals, relationships and influence is over, this is the beginning of the power era '
