NOVEL NEXT Chapter 420: 420
After all, no matter how Wang Ye and the others spoke, no matter how eloquent they were, it was useless.
It would be better to let them experience it for themselves.
Let reality speak.
If they truly experienced it, then these people might believe!
Professor Lin first came to Wang Ye's side, smiling as he took the white stone from Wang Ye's hand, it was as if he returned to the time he attended the awards ceremony.
And in Wang Ye's hand, the item he was holding was the award given to him!
Upon receiving this award, he would have a beautiful future, thriving in the jewelry industry of Dragon Country.
However.
When Professor Lin actually took the white stone from Wang Ye's hand, the smile that had just appeared on his face disappeared instantly.
The proud expression, the defiant expression, the air as if he were upholding justice while walking, froze on his face.
He felt it, this piece of white stone... no, it was a True Stone.
By now, Professor Lin knew, it wasn't Guo Pengzhan and Wang Ye conspiring together against him, nor was it the jewelry industry moguls below plotting against him; he simply wasn't important enough.
It was because he lacked discernment.
The True Stone, was real!
The moment he touched the True Stone, Professor Lin knew that what Wang Ye and Guo Pengzhan, along with the other jewelry industry moguls present, had said about the True Stone was true.
Merely holding it, he instantly felt a mysterious aura permeate every part of his body, nourishing it, and the tension he felt from facing Guo Pengzhan just moments ago dissipated upon contact with the True Stone.
Even, Professor Lin felt that the hidden injuries in his body, accumulated from his years of study up until now, seemed to be healing under the power contained in the True Stone.
It was very comfortable.
Very exhilarating.
Even inducing Professor Lin to feel like groaning right there and then.
Professor Lin's expression was stiff, but because of the True Stone, his entire body felt warm and comfortable, even his mood had become calm, but at that moment, he did not want this comfortable feeling, he wanted to maintain this state continuously.
He knew, he was wrong.
His mistake meant that the promising future he envisioned in Dragon Country's jewelry industry no longer existed; next, he would probably be completely abandoned by the jewelry industry of Dragon Country, left to explore other industries in Dragon Country or perhaps, he should simply go abroad and develop his career in other countries.
Slandering Guo Pengzhan was a serious matter!
To everyone in the jewelry industry of Dragon Country, they could accept someone doubting them, but they could not accept someone doubting Guo Pengzhan.
And he, just moments ago, not only doubted Guo Pengzhan but even directly slandered him, painting Guo Pengzhan as a crook who would collaborate with Wang Ye for some benefits!
Next, as soon as he stepped down from this stage, he was definitely in for a harsh outcome.
At that moment, all Professor Lin could hope for was that Guo Pengzhan would not continue to delve into the incident where he had just slandered both Wang Ye and himself; otherwise, he was afraid he would be sent directly to the police.
While Professor Lin wanted to maintain this state and escape from reality, Wang Ye's voice resonated: "Professor Lin, have you finished feeling it? Does this piece of True Stone have that kind of sensation described by the bosses below?"
Wang Ye's words piqued the curiosity of the many spectators below and the netizens in the livestream.
Is there?
Is it really as miraculous as those titans of the jewelry industry below have claimed?
If it truly is that miraculous, then the piece of True Stone that Wang Ye ultimately cut out could be said to be invaluable.
To them, although it was just a small piece, the potential applications of this piece of True Stone were enough to make them want to buy it, no matter the cost.
Wang Ye's words echoed in Professor Lin's ears, and a helpless smile appeared on his face.
He knew that once Wang Ye spoke, he could no longer pretend to be oblivious.
Pretending to be oblivious was pointless!
At this time, it was better to be frank; being frank, in front of so many people, would at least save some face for himself in the end.
"There is that feeling," Professor Lin said and then faced Wang Ye directly, bowing at a ninety-degree angle, humbly saying, "Wang Ye."
Suddenly, he looked towards where Guo Pengzhan was, bowing at ninety degrees again, and humbly called out: "Old Guo."
After these two acknowledgments, Professor Lin continued: "Earlier, I was momentarily upset, so I wronged both of you. This was my mistake. True Stone does exist. My doubts about you both just now were because of my ignorance."
Throughout Professor Lin's apology, the piece of True Stone was also being passed around to several other people.
To prevent the audience from thinking that it was a ruse staged by them, they let the people present also experience it to ensure they were not deceived.
Professor Lin was somewhat anxious.
The reason he apologized so graciously from the beginning was that he wanted Wang Ye and Guo Pengzhan not to dwell on the incident anymore, moving forward.
However,
when Wang Ye heard Professor Lin's words, he simply smiled and said:
"No worries, Professor Lin. It's no problem if you lacked awareness."
Wang Ye's response allowed Professor Lin to breathe a slight sigh of relief.
Before Professor Lin had fully relaxed, Wang Ye's voice once again filled the air:
"After all, it's normal for Professor Lin to lack competence, but from the beginning, you've assessed the competition based on personal feelings, and later, you directly slandered both me and Old Guo. Shouldn't we settle this issue properly?"
This statement made Professor Lin's relief abruptly retract.
Following that, Professor Lin started coughing violently, his face turning red from the choking.
He originally thought that Wang Ye was not going to pursue the matter any further, yet unexpectedly, Wang Ye brought it up again towards the end.
