Chapter 887: Chapter 888 Testing
Seeing Guo Chuyun so decisive, Little Demon naturally had nothing more to say.
Though she was close to Guo Chuyun, she had been merely a servant of the Guo Family a long time ago.
After a successful transaction, Guo Chuyun took Little Demon towards the stone-cutting shed.
Meanwhile, Li Changlin and his nephew Tang Ying had also rushed over to the cutting shed to join the excitement.
Sometimes, if people are fated to meet, no matter what they have been through, there will eventually be a thread that guides them to come together.
Li Changlin and Tang Ying watched others cut raw stones with great interest, sometimes bidding on stones that showed potential for profit, following the Tang Family’s business principles, and they actually managed to buy two decent jade stones.
Li Changlin, of course, did not participate in this.
Without the help of Clairvoyance Potion, Li Changlin was just an ordinary person.
However, because Li Changlin had declared from the start that his mental energy was greatly exhausted, Tang Ying did not ask him to lend a hand.
So in this situation, Tang Ying made a mistake twice, and Tang Hongyuan made one mistake as well.
The loss was bearable for both, and since the two raw stones they bought yielded good jade, they still ended up making a profit.
The Tang Family members certainly didn’t all leave; when Tang Hongyuan ordered the Tang Family Descendants to head back, his and Tang Ying’s guards quietly followed.
Tang Hongyuan handed the two jade stones to one of the guards, when suddenly, a series of noisy voices came from not far away.
"Damn, why is this raw stone turning red!"
"Strange, really strange, I’ve dealt with jade for so many years, and I’ve never seen anything like this."
"Brother, sell this raw stone to me, $30,000. I’ll buy it for $30,000."
"A red-tinted raw stone, that’s a good omen. Kid, I’ll offer $50,000, sell it to me."
The voices shocked Li Changlin and the other two.
They looked at each other, their eyes revealing shock.
Others may not know what the red tint meant, but the three of them naturally understood.
Blood Jade!
At that moment, two words popped into their minds.
"Let’s go, take a look," Li Changlin’s mind stirred, and he immediately nodded to the other two.
Tang Ying and his nephew naturally agreed, so the three of them walked toward the area.
"You think you can buy this stone for $50,000? You’re too naive," a boastful voice made the three men’s expressions change as they were about to enter the crowd. "I offer $200,000. This is Chen Si from the Chen Family of Nanfu Province. Sell me the raw stone, and I can promise to do you a favor in the future!"
It was Chen Si!
At this moment, a hint of hesitation flashed through Li Changlin’s eyes.
"It’s Chen Si, I didn’t expect this guy to come to Kang City too," Tang Hongyuan touched his nose, but he was unaware of the grudge between Li Changlin and Chen Si.
"Let’s go in and see first," Li Changlin thought for a moment, and casually smiled.
Thus, the three men walked forward. By then, the Tang Family guards had already lined up in two rows, opening a path for them.
As the three reached the inside, they discovered that the raw stone on the cutting machine weighed only about twenty pounds.
At that moment, the rough stone had already been cut two centimeters deep.
Estimating from this depth, the Blood Jade contained within could weigh approximately one to three kilograms.
If priced at twenty thousand per gram, one kilogram of Blood Jade would be worth one million. If it were three kilograms, that would amount to three million.
Chen Si was indeed cunning.
But how could he possibly guess that the Blood Jade inside the rough stone would weigh more than one kilogram?
Li Changlin, resting his chin on his hand, always felt that the Chen Family wasn’t just coveting the Mo Family’s Blood Jade for its twenty billion value.
As the leading family in Nanfu Province, although twenty billion was not a small amount, it was not necessarily significant to the Chen Family.
Could it be that there was something more to this Blood Jade?
Li Changlin pondered in his heart, but it would only take a little probing to understand the true value of the Blood Jade.
Immediately, Li Changlin gestured to a guard and whispered some instructions, then he shielded Tang Ying and Tang Hongyuan behind other guards.
"Brother Li, what is this about?" Tang Hongyuan turned his head in surprise towards Li Changlin when he spotted one of his guards striding towards the cutter.
"Twenty thousand is a lot, huh? I offer fifty thousand!" Tang Hongyuan’s guard stepped towards the cutter and sternly stated, "This is Yunnan Province. You’re just a descendant of the Chen Family from Nanfu Province, what’s there to be arrogant about!"
"Damn!" An unexpected challenger like Chen Yi Jin really infuriated Chen Si, his handsome face immediately darkened as he coldly said, "Boy, are you seeking death?"
"What, can’t handle competition and now you resort to threats!" The guard was a direct descendant of the He Family, one of the Tang Family branches, and was actually accompanying Tang Hongyuan for experience.
Just then, He Biqiu had received instructions from Li Changlin, aware that there was some ill-will between this distinguished guest from the Tang Family and Chen Si, intending to irritate Chen Si, so he immediately agreed.
He Biqiu, of course, didn’t know that Li Changlin’s reason for having him confront Chen Si was to test the limits of his role in the situation.
If Chen Si truly intended to purchase it for more than what the Blood Jade was worth, it certainly meant the Blood Jade had special significance.
In that case, he would meticulously plan to somehow retrieve the Blood Jade.
Li Changlin had no fond feelings towards the Chen Family in the first place.
And since the Blood Jade had been forcibly taken from the Mo Family by the Chen Family, Li Changlin felt no psychological pressure in plotting against them.
If the Blood Jade indeed had some secrets, Li Changlin would naturally not hand it over to the Mo Family.
Now the entire Mo Family was under his suzerainty; a mere twenty billion was unlikely to be a concern for them.
Of course, Li Changlin was not one to exploit his fellows without good reason, and he would make arrangements when the time came.
Besides, having cultivated individuals like Fang Xiaowei and Mo Penghong, the value of those Life Fruits was far beyond twenty billion.
"Fine, Young Master truly wants to see how exactly you plan to compete with me!" Provoked by He Biqiu’s words, Chen Si seemed suddenly unable to back down.
His eyes widening, he coldly extended one finger and declared, "One million, I bid one million!"
"Damn, has this kid lost his mind!"
"One million for such a small stone, truly a prodigal son."
"The Chen Family of Nanfu Province seems to have a deep foundation. That Chen Tianyang is one of them and is said to be the richest man in Nanfu Province!"
"Bullshit richest man. Without the family’s support, Chen Tianyang dreaming of becoming the richest is pure folly."
"Exactly, I’ve heard that there are five major families in Nanfu Province. Although the Chen Family is strong, the other four are not to be taken lightly. I suspect this talk of Chen Tianyang being the richest is just boasting."
