The Billion-Value Lands Are Just For Farming

C555 – Zhou Guozhi Expressed His Agreement

The lackeys surrounding Young Master Zhou sensed that something was amiss and were visibly confused. What exactly was happening?

Ann Chuxia was equally perplexed.

Where had her watch gone?

“Where’s the watch?”

Xiaoqing feigned confusion, extending her hand to retrieve the cloth bag. Upon opening it, she discovered it was completely empty.

“This, this, this…”

Sweat began to bead on Zhou Guozhi’s forehead.

He had been showing off, but now he was metaphorically slapped in the face, and it stung.

What in the world was going on?

He wasn’t concerned about the few thousand yuan, but the embarrassment was unbearable!

“You’ve got to be kidding, Young Master Zhou, where did my watch go?”

“I spent a pretty penny on that watch.”

Su Ming sipped his water, a slight smile playing on his lips.

“Humph!”

Annoyed, Zhou Guozhi let out a cold snort in response to Su Ming’s comment. “Enough talk. You think I care about your cheap watch? I’ll reimburse you to the last cent!”

“Is that so?”

Su Ming blinked innocently.

“Of course, I’m loaded. I’m not worried about that small amount of money!”

Zhou Guozhi retorted with a sneer.

“What’s the rush over a knockoff watch? Young Master Zhou has money to burn; he’ll cover your loss, no question.”

“Seriously, you have the audacity to flaunt a watch that’s barely worth a grand or two?”

“If I were you, I’d have found a hole to crawl into by now.”

“It’s not entirely his fault, you know. Some folks get so used to fakes they start to believe they’re the real deal.”

The lackeys around them sneered at Su Ming with a mix of scorn and amusement.

“Fine.”

Su Ming nodded. “If you’re willing to compensate me, then I’m at ease. Let’s settle it at the original price.”

With that, Su Ming pulled a piece of paper from his pocket, revealing it to be an invoice to the shock of the onlookers.

“Hahaha! Look at this guy, so broke he carries an invoice around. What, are you scared people won’t realize it’s a fake?”

“Wait, this shows he’s probably hoping the watch would break so he could claim the full retail price!”

“Carrying an invoice around? That’s just Top Grade!”

The lackeys continued their loud jeers.

“Take a good look before you run your mouth.”

Su Ming offered a faint smile. Upon hearing this, Zhou Guozhi let out a cold laugh. “How much could it possibly be? It’s just… Holy smokes! 2.83 million?!!!”

Zhou Guozhi leapt to his feet, rubbing his eyes vigorously. He scrutinized the invoice and, sure enough, the figure was correct—it was indeed 2.83 million!

“How can this be? How can this be?!”

Zhou Guozhi was in a state of panic. This sum was no trifling amount.

“Young Master Zhou, take a good look. This watch is from Vacheron Constantin, an anniversary limited edition. Here’s the number on the invoice, guaranteed authentic,” Su Ming said with a slow smile.

​”This, this, this…”

Zhou Guozhi was stunned. “This can’t be, this absolutely can’t be. The invoice must be fake, it’s definitely a counterfeit!”

“Young Master Zhou, the anniversary edition is one-of-a-kind. Once it’s sold, the buyer’s information is registered. You can check the official website to see if I’m really the one who made the purchase,” Su Ming explained, still smiling, as he sat back in his chair. Zhou Guozhi was utterly panicked now. He frantically pulled out his smartphone and, to his astonishment, the buyer listed was indeed Su Ming!

​Over two million—this was no small figure!

Then, Zhou Guozhi’s eyes widened in horror as he pointed at Su Ming. “The car keys you’re holding… could they be for a Hennessy Venom GT?!”

“Well, I’m impressed, Young Master Zhou. You certainly know your stuff,” Su Ming said, his smile unwavering.

​”I… I can’t believe this…”

Zhou Guozhi felt like he was about to explode in frustration.

​He was wealthy, and his father was even wealthier, running an entertainment company with several top-tier celebrities and a host of second-tier ones under contract.

They appeared to be doing exceptionally well, but the total value of their company barely exceeded 10 billion, mostly tied up in fixed assets and stocks.

​Even his father couldn’t just pull out over a billion to purchase a limited edition Hennessy Venom GT!

What was most telling was that the higher one’s status, the more they understood the significance of owning such a car. Who could afford such a vehicle, and what kind of background did they have?

At that moment, Zhou Guozhi lost all interest in chasing women, feeling nothing but a cold shiver running down his spine.

While in the capital, Zhou Guozhi was well aware of the abundance of talented individuals around him. He kept a low profile, careful not to boast or cross anyone.

He had assumed that in a city like Eastsea, he could strut around with impunity. However, his attempt to impress was quickly met with a humiliating setback, and to top it off, he encountered an incredibly formidable person.

​”This, this, this…” Zhou Guozhi stammered, unable to form a coherent sentence.

“Relax, Young Master Zhou. Just give me back my watch,” Su Ming said, his smile spreading slowly.

Zhou Guozhi gulped, his face slick with nervous sweat. True, his family was wealthy, but they didn’t have much liquid cash—his father had only about ten million at his disposal.

“We’ll find it! We have to find it!” Zhou Guozhi frantically searched everywhere.

​Noticing his subordinates frozen in place, his anger flared. “What the hell are you waiting for? Get moving and find it!” he bellowed.

His men, now in a frenzy, scurried about, shining flashlights under distant cabinets and scouring every nook and cranny. Zhou Guozhi was so desperate, he even stripped down to his underwear, turning his clothes inside out in a wild search, all for naught.

​”The Young Master… we didn’t find it,” his subordinates reported back, their voices shaky and their eyes darting nervously.

​Zhou Guozhi’s head spun, and he nearly collapsed, his complexion turning deathly pale. Nearly three million yuan was at stake—not an insignificant sum. His father would be furious, possibly to the point of violence.

“Young Master Zhou, since the watch is gone, you’ll have to compensate. Here’s the invoice; I haven’t deceived you,” Su Ming said, taking a leisurely sip of water, the picture of serenity.

​”I, I, I…” Zhou Guozhi’s trembling continued, and he found himself speechless.

Desperate for assistance, he turned pleading eyes toward Ann Chuxia and Xiaoqing, hoping for their advocacy. But Ann Chuxia was meditating, paying no heed to Xiaoqing, and offering no help to him.

​In that instant, Zhou Guozhi was in a state of sheer panic.

Sweat drenched his forehead.

What to do? What could he possibly do?

He had attempted to impress others, only to end up losing a watch in the process. It was utterly baffling. What in the world was happening? Was it possible that the watch had sprouted wings and taken flight?

The fact remained that the watch was genuinely missing!

I’ve pulled off magic tricks to show off countless times, but this time I’ve hit a wall so hard my head’s nearly split open!

Who can explain what the heck is going on here?!
