Divine Doctor from the Start of the Eye Mutation

Chapter 1888 - 1889: Evidence

As soon as the shop owner finished speaking, several people in the store immediately surrounded Ling Zhenfei, seemingly a bit embarrassed and angry.

Ling Zhenfei said, "Don't get excited yet. Since you want evidence from me, well then, let me show you some evidence."

This ignited excitement in everyone, especially those who were there just to watch the spectacle.

This matter seemed to be getting more and more interesting.

Ling Zhenfei addressed the crowd, "As you can see, the owner has asked me to present some evidence. Since he wants evidence, if I don't provide some, others might think I'm deliberately framing someone."

Ling Zhenfei walked over to the stone and said, "Earlier, I mentioned that this stone has been cut. But the owner didn't believe it, so now I'll show everyone."

Everyone watched Ling Zhenfei, eager to know what he would do next.

Ling Zhenfei said, "You all should know that if the stone had been cut open, there'd definitely be a seam inside. Now, I'll show you by splitting this stone with my bare hands."

Everyone was startled upon hearing this. Breaking open a raw jadeite stone with bare hands? It seemed unbelievable.

The shop owner laughed, "Are you kidding, kid? Even breaking a brick with your hand would hurt. You think this stone is different from a brick?"

Ling Zhenfei knew that no one believed him, but this was exactly the outcome he wanted.

Ling Zhenfei said, "Okay then, watch closely. Since no one believes, let me perform for you, to prove that this stone has indeed been cut open."

He placed his hand on the stone and told the eager crowd, "Now I'll start splitting it—and first let me state, this stone is huge, but there's no jade inside.

This is why this stone had been cut open, but now appears here in this form."

Many around, knowledgeable about jade, understood what Ling Zhenfei meant. No need to be told; they knew it was fake.

In the jade industry, fake goods, dyeing, embedding, and sticking are all too common.

Ling Zhenfei said, "Enough talk. We all know inside what's going on."

He then raised his hand and brought it down toward the stone.

It seemed Ling Zhenfei didn't use any force, appearing as though his strength couldn't even break a brick.

But then something miraculous happened. As Ling Zhenfei's hand came down, the massive stone was miraculously split in two halves.

One half stood upright, while the other half suddenly toppled to the side.

Everyone was left speechless, barely believing their eyes.

This was truly magical. Who could believe such a big stone would be so easily split open?

Just as Ling Zhenfei had said, there was no jade inside, not a hint of color—just an ordinary stone.

Moreover, the cut edge was exceptionally neat, clearly indicating it had been previously cut.

Everyone understood what was going on—this stone was indeed a fake.

For every faker, there's a victim, and this shop owner was relying on someone falling prey.

It's simply outrageous—the shop owner's face turned red.

She obviously knew the condition of the stone, but never imagined her carefully glued work could be split open by someone's hand.

Now everyone knew this store was involved in deceit, and with what Ling Zhenfei said earlier, that pile of stones had nothing good. How could this shop continue to operate?

Ling Zhenfei said, "Alright, everyone. I found the evidence as you requested. The rest isn't my business anymore."

But before he finished his words, a group of people in uniforms suddenly appeared.

"Old Wang, we are from the Market Supervision Bureau. We've had our eyes on your store for a while—many people have reported you for selling counterfeit goods, but there was no evidence. Today, we have solid proof."

"Old Wang, come with us."

Two people from the Market Supervision Bureau immediately moved to apprehend Old Wang, dragging him out.

Even some clerks, who had been showing off earlier, were now taken back for investigation.

Ling Zhenfei knew there was nothing more for him, and he said to Chu Yu and Qi Tianyu, "Alright, there's nothing more now, we can leave. Don't fall for such tricks again."

Qi Tianyu, embarrassed, said, "Mr. Ling, thank you so much."

Chu Yu also said, "Thank you, Big Brother Ling. Without you today, I wouldn't have known what to do."

Ling Zhenfei said, "No need for thanks. I really didn't expect to meet you here. Have you eaten yet? Why don't we have a meal together?"

Ling Zhenfei led Chu Yu and Qi Tianyu, along with Mo Lun, into a restaurant with local specialties.

Mo Lun, knowing the good local dishes, ordered some specialties as the four of them began to chat.

Ling Zhenfei wanted to know why they were here.

Through Chu Yu's introduction, he learned that Rainbow City is the largest jade source in the country, and their jade shop buys raw stones from here.

Each year her family comes here to purchase stones, having designated suppliers.

However, usually, it was Chu San who came, but because Chu San wasn't in good health this time, they wanted to train the next generation, so Chu Yu and Qi Tianyu came to purchase.

Unexpectedly, such an incident occurred. Fortunately, Ling Zhenfei's timely appearance helped, otherwise, it would have been difficult.

Ling Zhenfei asked, "Have you finished buying your stones?"

Chu Yu said, "Not yet, but we have contacted our supplier, so there shouldn't be any more issues."

Ling Zhenfei, recalling Chu Yu mentioning Chu San's poor health, inquired about his condition.

Chu Yu said, "It's been an old ailment for my father. Working long hours in jade processing in the same posture for a long time results in problems with his back, arms, and legs."

Ling Zhenfei thought for a while and said, "I have some elixirs here. Once you go back, give them to the old man to take. They should be good for his health."

Ling Zhenfei then handed some elixirs to Chu Yu.

Everyone knew Ling Zhenfei was an excellent doctor, so his elixirs should be okay.

They continued chatting as they finished their meal, and by then, it was already late and dark outside.

Chu Yu asked, "Big Brother Ling, since it's so late, you must be staying over in Rainbow City. Have you found a hotel yet?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "We just arrived at Rainbow City and honestly haven't considered that yet."

Chu Yu smiled and suggested, "Why don't you stay at the hotel we're staying at? The environment is nice, and the location is good."

Qi Tianyu commented from the side, "Junior sister, don't say that. How could Big Brother Ling stay in the same little hotel as us?"
