Small Farmer Medical God-Chapter 1559 - 1554: Advancing Through Retreat

Upon hearing such an excited outburst, Hu Xiaobei silently sighed.

Hu Xiaobei knew, he was evidently getting carried away...

"It must be because he knows you urgently need a store treasure that the scammer dares to blatantly come here to swindle you."

After making this judgment, Hu Xiaobei looked at him and solemnly said, "Boss Wang, right! I want to remind you, sometimes being too eager isn’t good."

The man who was originally excited paused for a second when he heard Hu Xiaobei’s calm reminder, "What do you mean by that?"

He was quite astute too...

He knew that when Hu Xiaobei said this, it must have a hidden meaning.

"No particular meaning, just a heads-up; I think that ginseng is somewhat problematic."

Although Hu Xiaobei was fully convinced that the ginseng was a fake, he didn’t expose it outright.

Because he knew if he sounded too sure now, Boss Wang might not believe him.

By giving him a reminder now, it would make Boss Wang calm down!

This way, he would observe more carefully later.

By that time, he would surely notice some clues.

After all, he was an expert in this field too...

...

"Problematic? What problem?"

Hearing his question, Hu Xiaobei laughed lightly, "I’m just saying, you should just take it as a casual mention."

Upon hearing such vague words, Boss Wang realized that Hu Xiaobei didn’t want to continue the topic.

Taking a deep look at Hu Xiaobei, he said, "Anyway, thank you for the reminder."

Saying this, he turned and walked back.

At that moment, the excitement on his face completely disappeared...

The reason for this was that doubts were truly surfacing in his heart now.

He didn’t fully trust Hu Xiaobei’s words, but now there was a hint of suspicion.

This bit of doubt made him want to observe that century-old ginseng again more carefully.

...

"Xiaobei, do you think he will believe you?"

As he left, Mu YanYu, who had been silent all along, came over and curiously asked Hu Xiaobei.

She had heard the entire conversation between Hu Xiaobei and him.

Because of this, she was particularly curious about...

Looking at her, Hu Xiaobei smiled lightly, "Whether he believes it or not doesn’t matter, as long as he has doubt in his heart, that’s enough!"

"That’s true!"

Mu YanYu nodded, crossing her arms as she watched. She believed there would soon be some drama to watch.

...

While Mu YanYu was hoping for this, the Boss Wang from earlier had returned there.

The person holding the ginseng noticed the absent warmth and excitement upon Boss Wang’s return, which made his heart sink.

Soon, he screamed wildly in his heart!

"What’s going on? Why is he suddenly calm? Could it be he’s noticed something? That shouldn’t be possible!"

His mind was in turmoil at this point.

The ginseng was fake, indubitably fake at that!

He was aware of this fact...

But even knowing this, he had still come here because he owed a large sum of money recently.

Before coming, he had planned everything and believed he could succeed this time.

Initially, everything was progressing as anticipated, so he thought he’d soon succeed.

But now, everything had changed...

This sudden change really made him uneasy...

But on the surface, he didn’t show much panic.

Because he knew, he must not mess up now; otherwise, things would get even worse.

After thinking it through, he looked at Boss Wang and said, "Boss Wang! Do you want it or not? If not, I’ll leave now; there are others waiting after all!"

Hearing this, Boss Wang squinted.

Soon, he smiled and said, "Of course! I want it! But since it’s so valuable, I want to inspect it first. You shouldn’t mind, do you?"

Everyone around, hearing such soft words, looked at him somewhat astonished...

At this moment, everyone felt there might be something fishy here...

Because Boss Wang’s attitude had changed too much...

Previously, he seemed so impatient, but now, he had completely calmed down.

While everyone was surprised, the person holding the ginseng was extremely tense.

"What? You don’t trust me? In that case, there’s no need to continue. I’m leaving."

Having said that, he turned and left immediately.

He knew his ginseng had issues, so he definitely couldn’t allow a thorough inspection...

Because once carefully inspected, it might reveal the truth.

"Why did he leave so decisively? Is he guilty or angry?"

Seeing him turn to leave, Boss Wang started to ponder.

If he’s leaving because he’s guilty, it’s fine, but if it’s due to anger, it means he’s really confident in the authenticity of the ginseng.

He wanted to take a gamble, yet he dared not!

Because deep down, he still wanted to believe this person wasn’t scamming him.

Taking a deep breath, he quickly called out, "Wait a moment!"

...

"Finally, he called me back!"

The man heading for the exit sighed in relief upon hearing the shout.

Earlier, he feared he wouldn’t be stopped.

Now, he realized his worry was unnecessary—the step he took was correct...

Previously, he was in a passive position.

Now, he had completely turned the situation around...

Confirming he regained control, he turned with a cold expression, "Earlier you didn’t trust me, so why call me back now?"

"I know I may have gone too far, but given the importance, I’d like to take a careful look."

"Stop right there! You know, I’m a Treasure Hunter. We Treasure Hunters don’t deceive! Or we wouldn’t survive in this field!"

"You’re right; now, name your price!"

"Alright!"

Hearing this exchange, Hu Xiaobei lightly shook his head...

Before, he thought his reminder could help avert a disaster for this person, but now he realized he was overthinking it...

Such a simple reminder didn’t have such a big effect...

"Looks like I’ll have to step in!"

Thinking this, Hu Xiaobei prepared to step forward quickly, but then he heard Mu YanYu curiously ask, "Xiaobei, do you know what a Treasure Hunter is?"

Previously, Mu YanYu had never heard of the Treasure Hunter profession, so she asked out of curiosity...
