Chapter 862: Chapter 872: The Gamble Stone Market! (Five Updates)

In the photo, you could clearly see the man holding a piece of paper, and on the paper was a drawing of a stone. He was dressed in a gray suit.

He looked rather sneaky.

Tang Zhong immediately noticed the stone. He realized that this stone looked very similar to the one inside his own body.

Perhaps this man really knew something.

Judging by his appearance, the man didn’t seem to be from Xuan Country; he looked more like someone from Stan Country or the Lucao Kingdom.

Also, it wasn’t just one photo—all the photos were of that man. But in every picture, the man wore a different outfit and deliberately disguised himself. However, the one thing that never changed was the piece of paper he held in his hand.

"Where did these photos come from?" Tang Zhong asked.

"They were accidentally taken at a domestic jade market. This person in the photo is named Robert; he’s from the Lucao Kingdom. According to the information I gathered, after he arrived in Xuan Country, he visited every single jade market in the country. He seems to be a jade merchant!" Li Linglong explained.

"But judging by the image in the photo, that stone isn’t just jade. It reminded me of the stone you asked me to help you find. There’s quite a resemblance, so I immediately passed this intel to you!"

Tang Zhong carefully examined the stone in the man’s hand in the photo. It looked very much like the few mysterious stones he had seen.

Looking again at the man’s behavior, it seemed like he was afraid of being discovered by others. In other words, this man was suspicious.

"Where is this man now?" Tang Zhong asked.

"In Yun City!" Li Linglong replied.

"Is he under control?" Tang Zhong asked.

"No problem! We’ve got him completely monitored!" Li Linglong assured him. "By the way, why are you searching for this kind of stone?"

"It’s useful!" Tang Zhong said with a smile, leaving as swiftly as the wind. "Make sure to send me his location!"

"Got it!" Li Linglong watched Tang Zhong leave and muttered under his breath, "I haven’t tasted dog food in a while. This feeling... I really don’t like it. Though, if I think carefully, having a little dog food every now and then isn’t a bad thing!"

Tang Zhong departed from the Dragon Group, swift and decisive!

His destination: Yun City.

The jade markets there were particularly plentiful.

Tang Zhong quickly made his way to the Dragon Group’s facilities and was assigned a helicopter, speeding toward Yun City without delay.

Before boarding, he had already investigated all of the man’s movements and the locations he had visited within Yun City.

He soon landed.

Walking quickly, he headed directly for the jade market.

According to the Dragon Group’s intel, Robert was confirmed to be inside a jadeite trading market.

In Yun City, there were numerous such markets.

Of course, the most famous activity here was "gambling stones," which involved purchasing raw stones in the hope of discovering valuable jade inside.

Most of these markets were outdoors, though there were also indoor ones.

However, the indoor markets were significantly more high-level than the outdoor ones.

Soon enough, Tang Zhong arrived at the jadeite market where Robert was located.

From a distance, he could see that the place was bustling with people.

They were all holding stone auction catalogs, waiting for their turn at gambling stones. This wasn’t like conventional gambling at all!

All around, stones were being auctioned off. Once sold to the highest bidder, the stone would be cracked open by staff to reveal whether it contained jadeite.

If it did, it could mean striking it rich. A stone bought for five million could sometimes sell for eighty million—it wasn’t impossible.

That was the allure of gambling stones. Many people came here to try their luck, chasing the dream of sudden wealth. If they succeeded, they could indeed become wealthy overnight—it was a very real possibility.

Tang Zhong moved through the crowd, one group after another, searching for Robert. He had memorized Robert’s face from the photos; there was no need to pay attention to what he was wearing.

At that moment, a commotion erupted among a group of people nearby. A staff member had just cracked open a stone, revealing a sparkling green glow of jadeite within.

"Wow! Congratulations to this customer! The stone he bought for two million is now worth twenty million!"

The middle-aged man who had succeeded in gambling on the stone couldn’t stop grinning from ear to ear.

For a brief moment, everyone around focused their attention on the man. But after just a glance, they quickly averted their gazes, turning back to their own stones. Seeing someone succeed only ignited their own hopes, prompting them to start buying stones as well, all eager to strike it rich.

"Come on, gamble some stones!" A beautiful woman approached Tang Zhong. She was dressed in formal black business attire, complete with black stockings—a striking presence in the jadeite market. She grabbed Tang Zhong by the arm, saying, "Young man, judging by your bright forehead, today must be your lucky day. Why not buy a few stones and try your luck? You might just strike it rich!"

In places like this, these people acted as stone-shopping guides!

They helped buyers select stones.

"Alright!" Tang Zhong agreed without hesitation.

The reason he agreed was simple: earlier, when someone cracked open a stone, everyone’s attention had been focused on that moment. In such a large venue, finding Robert might take some time. It would be better to draw Robert’s attention to him instead.

The beautiful guide clearly hadn’t expected Tang Zhong to agree so readily. Her eyes widened momentarily before she beamed and said, "Follow me!"

"My name’s Annie. You can just call me that. Judging by how you look, you’re new here, aren’t you? You might not know much about gambling stones. I can explain it to you!" Annie said warmly.

"Go ahead."

Hearing this, Annie’s eyes sparkled even more. She was now certain Tang Zhong was a rookie. She loved such buyers—they were the easiest to guide into purchasing stones!

Newcomers to gambling stones often knew little about the process and relied entirely on the guide’s suggestions. From Tang Zhong’s youthful appearance, she guessed he might be one of those wealthy second-generation elites here to play around—rich and impulsive.

Annie had already scammed a few rich guys like this before.

As she led Tang Zhong towards a gambling table, several other female guides noticed what was happening. Envy flashed across their faces.

"See that? Annie’s hooked another big fish!"

"Yeah, that guy looks like a total rookie—definitely a ’buy, buy, buy’ type. Annie’s going to make a killing again. She might pocket tens of thousands just from him today!"

"She’ll probably take him over to Hao’s table. The two of them working together? That’s always a scary combination!"

But envy wouldn’t do them any good. They could only hope they’d luck out and come across such a rookie themselves.

At this moment, Tang Zhong had already been led to a gambling table.

At the front stood a bearded man with a cigarette dangling from his mouth. Beside him was a basket filled with stones!
