Chapter 438 - Money To Buy a Life
Chapter 438: Money To Buy a Life
Ling Ping’an wandered in the forest of seafood and meat.
“Little Girl…” he asked his pet, “What should we eat?”
The kitten in his arms cried softly.
Ling Ping’an smiled and walked to the fish slice area in front of him.
Puffer fish slice, tuna slice, salmon slice…
There were also rare and strange delicacies like sea urchin slice.
“Raw food, this is what a gentleman does!” Ling Ping’an smiled as he picked up a plate and randomly selected a few pieces of fish chowder. He planned to taste them first.
If they weren’t delicious…
Then he would have to bite the bullet and eat!
He couldn’t trouble Chiba Michiko every meal.
Ling Ping’an really wanted to see that little chef from Fusang right now — he was afraid of embarrassment!
Turning around, Ling Ping’an saw a man who was about his age standing behind him. When the man saw him turn around, he immediately bowed politely.
Ling Ping’an glanced at him and nodded.
Then, he carried the tray and walked to a corner.
The man kept looking at Ling Ping’an.
It was not until Ling Ping’an sat down that he seemed to feel a little regretful and walked into the distance dejectedly.
Ling Ping’an looked at this person and shook his head, “A strange person!”
However…
He was not a curious baby. He would not casually talk to others just to satisfy his curiosity.
After the lesson from last night, Ling Ping’an knew that he should learn a lesson!
In the future, he really should not casually talk to others, much less run around with others.
After all, he had to be careful when he was out!
He didn’t want to end up making his aunt come out to redeem him. That would be a huge loss of face!
However, at the same time, Ling Ping’an had another thought in his heart.
“He’s just an ant. Don’t worry about him!”
This thought was extremely arrogant and domineering, looking down on everything!
However, Ling Ping’an didn’t seem to notice it at all.
He lowered his head, picked up his knife and fork and began to eat.
“I hope it’s delicious!” He said.
Confucius said, “One can never get tired of eating delicacies!”
Delicacies were the food of a gentleman!
Thinking back to the time when Chen Deng ate fish slices, he wouldn’t stop eating until his stomach was full of parasites. In the end, he died of parasitic diseases.
Fortunately, it was now modern times.
Delicacies were usually sea fish, so he didn’t have to worry about the risk of parasites.
Therefore, Ling Ping’an ate with ease.
First, he took a big bite of tuna.
It was soft and oily, but…
“This taste…” Ling Ping’an sighed, “It’s not even one-third of Michiko’s beef noodle!”
Fortunately, it wasn’t bad.
Therefore, Ling Ping’an could barely pinch his nose to fill his stomach.
While eating, he fed his cat.
However, the little guy seemed to be picky like him.
He didn’t seem to be happy with what he was eating either.
Moreover, from the looks of it, the delicacies in the imperial city weren’t as delicious as the cat food at home!
Ling Ping’an was also amused, “Looks like it’s the same even for the royal family…”
“The food in this restaurant is all about ostentation and doesn’t care about taste…”
“It’s just for show…”
He shook his head, “I’m really too free!”
However, this was the world now.
There was no other way!
…
Ouyang Jin walked back to his seat dejectedly.
Qin Ming looked at him and asked curiously, “Why didn’t you greet Young Master Ling?”
Ouyang Jin looked at him and shook his head, “What do you know?”
“When have you ever seen a true dragon care about mortals? An elephant cares about ants?”
Qin Ming didn’t quite understand.
From what he understood, Young Master Ling of Jiang City probably had an elder who was a high ranking official in the capital, which was why the West Song Dynasty paid so much attention to him!
However, there wasn’t a big figure with the surname Ling in the capital’s cabinet?
Could it be a palace minister?
Or…
Qin Ming’s eyes were blurry as he thought of a more likely guess.
“Is it the nephew of a certain big shot from the Gonghe Party or the Datong Party?”
The Gonghe Party and the Datong Party were both theoretical.
Usually, they would be invisible and lurking. They would only show up when they introduced policies, formulated policies and announced policies.
As for governing the country, these big shots would usually be handed over to the cabinet ministers.
After all, they didn’t know how to govern the country.
It was just a pen.
Thinking of this, Qin Ming took out his phone and planned to check the current big shots of the Gonghe Party or the Datong Party.
It was very easy.
The names of the boards of directors of the Gonghe Research Institute and the Datong Research Institute were both public.
However, after looking through the public names of these two houses, there wasn’t a grand scholar with the surname Ling.
This made Qin Ming confused.
“Could it be that he is the nephew of a certain great guardian?”
The great guardian of the Supreme Court was a living saint of the Federal Empire. He was known as the ‘Guardian of heaven’ and was the gatekeeper and guardian dog of the Constitution.
Every great guardian could be considered as the benchmark of the Federal Empire’s morals and laws!
Naturally, they were all highly respected and respected masters of law!
As a result, the judgments of the great guardians were often compared to the works of the ancient literary giants.
It was a standard that represented the literary attainments of an era!
However, even after Qin Ming racked his brains, he still did not recall that there was a great guardian with the surname Ling in the Supreme Court of the Federal Empire!
He shook his head.
Coincidentally, at this time, in a group that he joined yesterday, everyone was discussing the thunderstorm last night.
There were all kinds of discussions.
There were even some people who were mumbling ‘there was a mighty figure giving a speech last night’.
Qin Ming looked at them and only sneered, “You’re trying to trick me into cultivating Dao again!”
He had already fallen for similar tricks several times.
The first time was the ancient martial arts. He had spent a large sum of money and learned nothing.
The second time was talismans. He had bought countless so-called ‘heavenly and earthly treasures’, but in the end, they were all useless.
The most recent time was when someone instigated something called ‘Jade Gambling’.
It was said to be some jade that was dug out from a spirit vein. It contained good things that could prolong one’s life.
As long as he gambled on one, he would become rich.
In the end, he threw in a few million, but he didn’t get anything out of it.
Ever since then, Qin Ming didn’t believe in ghosts, transcendents, cultivation or ancient martial arts.
They were all liars and they all wanted to reap the benefits.
However…
In the group chat, an ID suddenly appeared and said, “Let me tell you, there is indeed a mighty figure in our Luming Villa, and he is among us… everyone, be careful!”!
That ID typed again, “That mighty figure should be from Jiang City. I don’t know his exact age and appearance, but… he is very, very powerful!”
Someone asked, “How powerful is he? Can he overturn rivers and seas?”
That person only typed out a ‘hehe’.
Qin Ming watched and couldn’t help but join the conversation. He typed, “If you want to talk about someone from Jiangcheng City, I know one…”
He continued typing, “I came all the way here with him…”
Now, they met again. In the cafeteria of the Yan Lou, he was holding a cat and sitting in a corner..
When he came, I remember that he was later picked up by someone sent by the eldest princess…
When he sent this last paragraph of text, Qin Ming realized that he had been kicked out of the group.
Then, a brand new ID sent him a friend request.
Qin Ming was baffled. He accepted this friend request from the ID Qingfeng Xulai.
As soon as that person passed, he immediately asked, “Is he still here?”
Qin Ming looked up and saw that Young Master Ling, who was holding the cat, was indeed still here.
But with a thought, he typed, “Why should I tell you?”
The person answered without hesitation, “I’ll give you a million. Tell me, is he still here?”
Then, a transfer came.
Qingfeng Xulai was transferring 10000000 to you!
Qin Ming swallowed his saliva.
Then he replied: Yes, he is in the corner.
Then, with trembling fingers, he accepted the transfer.
That person immediately typed again: I will give you another million, you help me keep an eye on him, tell me where he is at any time, I will come over immediately, when I arrive, I will give you another five million!
Without waiting for his consent, another transfer was sent over.
Qingfeng Xulai, transferred 10000000 to you!
Qin Ming swallowed his saliva and accepted the money.
He was baffled.
It was so simple and he had already received two million?
He couldn’t help but pinch his own flesh.
It hurt!
It was true!
But…
This matter was too mysterious!
Qin Ming couldn’t help but ask Ouyang Jin who was opposite him, “Young Master Ouyang, do you believe that a pie can fall from the sky?”
Ouyang Jin pretended not to hear it. He looked at the plate in front of him in a daze and didn’t say anything for a long time.
Until Qin Ming asked again, “Young Master Ouyang, do you believe that a pie can fall from the sky?”
Ouyang Jin shook his head as he listened, “To tell you the truth, Brother Qin…”
He looked at the young man sitting in the distance, “If a pie falls from the sky and falls into your mouth…”
“Then, there’s a high probability that the person who fed you the pie must have a greater interest…”
“Otherwise!” Ouyang Jin chuckled, his smile extremely cruel, “Then he must be looking at something of yours…”
“Flesh and blood, bones and muscles…”
“There’s no love without reason in this world…”
“So, all the gifts of fate have already been secretly marked with a price!”
“It’s not that it’s not time yet!”
Qin Ming’s body turned cold as he listened.
He took his phone and handed it to Ouyang Jin, “This person just transferred two million to me…”
Ouyang Jin looked down at the content of the chat.
He raised his head and looked at Qin Ming.
It was as if he was looking at a dead person.
Then, he immediately stood up and returned the phone to Qin Ming.
This person was too stupid!
It was better to stay away from him.
Otherwise, he would be struck by lightning!
Qin Ming saw Ouyang Jin throw the phone back and left without looking back. He panicked too!
“Master Ouyang… Master Ouyang… Wait for me…”
But Ouyang Jin walked faster!
In the end, he took the invitation letter, swiped his card and entered a safe passage. Then, he closed the door.
Qin Ming’s hands and feet were cold. Even now, he could taste something.
Two million!
That was the income of his ancestral property for several years now!
Now, someone casually gave him two million, only asking him a question and making a request.
And there was still five million after the deed was done!
Then the question came.
Was that person an idiot?
Or was he an idiot? Did he have money and nowhere to spend it?
If he wasn’t…
Then there was a problem.
What kind of thing could make a person throw out such a large sum of money without even blinking?
What did he mean by giving this amount of money?
In Qin Ming’s heart, words appeared: money to buy his life!
The important figures of ancient times, in order to make the men of sacrifice willingly die, raised them with a large sum of money!
