Chapter 71 Comfort
They took Jaquan’s car to the Tea Market. On the way, Sydnee told Emily the name of the store and its owner as well as the details of her buying tea seeds.
Before Emily got out of the car, she said to Sydnee, “Stay. I’ll call you out later.”
“Alright.”
Sydnee did not know what Emily’s plan was, but the moment Emily was about to leave, she grabbed her at the wrist and said, “Money is not important. Take care of yourself.”
Emily smiled at her and patted the back of her hand. “Don’t worry.”
Then, she turned around and walked in with Harold and Jaquan.
After Emily left, Sydnee sat alone in the car and muttered to herself, “She’s even a few years younger than me. Why does she always comfort me?”
The Tea Market was indeed very big. According to Sydnee’s instructions, she went through the main gate, and noticed the fourth store of the third row on her left. With the sign saying “Selective Tea”, it was the store where Sydnee bought the fake tea seeds.
Emily and the others first went to a few stores next door and then turned into this one. The owner, whose surname was Bennet, had already seen them walking through the store next door. Judging from their clothes, he knew they were wealthy customers. Seeing them as big fat targets, he immediately greeted them and said, “May I help you?”
After taking a look at the tea leaves on the shelves and the tea plant seeds under them, Emily asked casually, “How much is the Dahongpao tea seed?”
“I guess you have seen quite a few stores, right? I’m not bragging,” Mr. Bennet said in a low voice, “Only my goods are authentic.”
He could tell that among the three of them, only the girl at the front had the say. As for the other two men, one was sturdy but a little wooden, while the other was handsome. The handsome guy kept looking around without saying anything, subject to the girl.
But the girl seemed to be too young to tell the real from the fake. Coincidentally, the customer who had bought the tea seeds was also a girl. He knew at first glance that she hadn’t planted a tea tree. She had been tricked into buying it, and she was probably self-questioning why the seeds hadn’t sprouted yet.
Emily looked at him, pretending to hesitate. “I want a lot, so the price…”
Mr. Bennet laughed loudly, “No problem! Look, I like making friends. If you’re short of money, I’ll give you a lower price. You must have known the store next door sells the Dahongpao at 240 per kilogram, and I can sell it at…”
Emily asked in surprise, “Two hundred? With such price, can you gain any profit?”
“I told you I wanted to make a friend. Look, you came to my store, and that’s a kind of connection between you and me. You want Dahongpao, don’t you? I have a lot in my store!”
“Okay. I’ll pay 180, 000.” Emily turned around and looked at him.
Mr. Bennet was so shocked that his eyes widened, “What?”
Emily looked back, saying, “You don’t have enough seeds? I’d like to pay 180, 000 for your Dahongpao seeds.”
“Sure!” Mr. Bennet’s fingers trembled with excitement. He got a stool for her and said, “Have a seat! I’ll call my workers to deliver here.”
“Aren’t the seeds here?” Emily asked.
“We have an innermost warehouse. The seeds of 180, 000 can occupy at least half of the room. I’m calling the warehouse to load the seeds.” Mr. Bennet said to the other side of the phone, “I need 900 kilograms of Dahongpao seeds.”
Emily asked, “Can we visit there to take a look?”
“Of course.” Mr. Bennet shouted, “I’m bringing the customers to the warehouse!”
A woman inside the room responded.
Then they went to the warehouse. Along the way many people greeted Mr. Bennet, “Mr. Bennet, got a huge order, right?”
Mr. Bennet smiled delightfully, “Well, God bless me.”
The warehouse was a large tea store filled with tea leaves and tea plant seeds. Two workers were busy gathering the Dahongpao seeds and moving them out.
Emily came in and opened a bag of tea seeds. Harold also took a closer look. Every time Emily opened a bag, Harold and Jaquan would silently follow her and carefully inspect the seeds. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
Mr. Bennet knew they were bluffing. He winked at the two workers who then moved the tea seeds from the other side easily.
After weighing the seeds, Emily took out the Harold’s bank card. Mr. Bennet gave her the POS machine that he took with him. But it was the wooden big man who entered the password.
Mr. Bennet looked at Emily in confusion. Jaquan was even more surprised, but when he thought about the rumors, he understood something.
Emily explained, “I borrowed his card.”
Mr. Bennet smiled and said, “I understand. You’re too young to take a lot of money. But don’t your family know you’ll buy so many tea plant seeds?”
“They don’t.” Emily shook her head.
Hearing this, Mr. Bennet was even more relieved. Girls at her age were rebellious. She must want to do something secretly to surprise her family. She might succeed. But if she failed, she would definitely not dare to tell her family.
He could not be more relieved.
After the deal was settled, the two workers loaded the seeds into the truck and delivered to the door, then unloaded.
Harold handed the phone to Emily and said, “Miss Emily, I’ve recorded everything.”
Emily nodded and called the police.
Jaquan’s mouth twitched, and he snatched her phone. “How can you be sure that this batch of seeds is fake?”
Emily didn’t want to explain. But Jaquan was very serious, so she answered, “The seeds they moved first are real. But after they realized we couldn’t distinguish between real and fake, he winked at the worker, and the seeds they moved afterwards are all fake.”
The phone was answered. Instead of giving the phone to Emily, Jaquan himself spoke on the phone, “Hello, this is Ferne Dalton. We are at the entrance of the Tea Market in the suburbs. Here are people suspected of cheating millions out of fake tea seeds. We need support.”
Emily silently took out the business card in her pocket and looked at it. It was Jaquan Cox.
Jaquan explained, “I used Ferne’s name. He used to be a policeman, so the police usually responded quickly when hearing his name.”
Emily, “….”
Got it!
Expectedly, the police acted with dispatch. Emily asked an experienced expert to tell the proportion of fake to real, and then she saw a group of uniformed policemen rushing over.
The entire Tea Market trembled.
Mr. Bennet was not that bad as he had given Emily half the real and half the fake. If she went back, planted them and found half succeed and half die, she would not blame the seeds for anything strange.
After all, half of them were alive.
She knew it. No fraud, no business.
