Chapter 298: Chapter 0298 Who Are You

Tang Xin’s eyes briefly flashed unwillingness. Did she really have to strip naked and stand at the door for these scoundrels to see? Unwilling to accept this! Her hand that hung by her side clenched tightly, yet no emotion could be seen on her face. After a moment, she spoke faintly, "Let’s begin."

Shen Congwen slightly raised his eyebrows in surprise, looking at her. "You’re going to do it yourself?"

Tang Xin snorted proudly at him. "Is there a problem?"

"Heh, of course there’s no problem. I’m just afraid you’ll end up crying when you lose!" Tang Xin was personally taking charge, which delighted Shen Congwen. It would be best if she didn’t select a single good piece! That way, the Tang Family’s face would be utterly lost!

"So why all the talk? Just get started!"

Shen Congwen gave her a cold glance. Go ahead and act smug now. In a while, I’ll make sure you can no longer show off!

Following a command, the surrounding atmosphere also gradually began to solidify.

Chu Ge stood quietly to the side, his left index finger lightly touching the tabletop, sensing the Spiritual Energy of the several dozen stones. In no time, all was clear as day in his heart. He withdrew his hand unobtrusively and stood with his hands in his pockets, watching coldly.

Since Tang Xin did not need his help now, he would not be the first to stick his neck out.

"Each person selects five stones. Whoever reveals more jade wins. If the amount of jade revealed is the same, then the winner is decided by the quality of the jade."

Following Boss Xu’s declaration, Wu Yong took the lead in stepping forward, his small eyes scrutinizing the stones on the table.

Wu Yong already had tiny eyes, and now they squinted even more, making him look as if his eyes were closed. Yet, with such a gaze, after only a few seconds, he made his move.

To Chu Ge’s surprise, Wu Yong picked out a rather top-grade stone with his first move.

At that moment, Tang Xin’s lips slightly twitched. The stone Wu Yong had chosen was precisely what she had had her eye on, only to be beaten to it by Wu Yong.

"I’ll take this one." Wu Yong handed the stone to the Stone Opening Official, the corners of his lips turning up slightly, chin lifting arrogantly, his demeanor telling everyone present that this was a top-grade stone.

Tang Xin took a deep breath and stepped forward, looking left and right at the stones for a long time before finally hesitantly making a selection. She didn’t know what was wrong with her; she just felt inexplicably insecure, always feeling that whatever she selected could not compare to the piece Wu Yong had just chosen.

After all, that stone was the first one she had set her eyes on.

Chu Ge imperceptibly raised the corner of his eye. Although the stone chosen by Tang Xin was not of as high quality as Wu Yong’s, it was also a piece of jade.

As the Stone Opening Official cracked open the stones one by one, the results became glaringly apparent.

Shen Congwen laughed loudly, "Tang Xin, you’ve lost in the first round. Isn’t that a bit too unlucky? I advise you to just give up! Obediently strip and dance for us at the door."

Tang Xin stomped her feet in frustration. Damn it!

She bit her lip displeasedly and glared at Shen Congwen. "It’s only the first round now, there are still four rounds to go!"

Shen Congwen spread his hands. "Since Miss Tang insists on humiliating herself, then I will simply satisfy your desire."

The second round began, and Wu Yong’s small and dense eyes once again began to roam over the stones on the table.

Chu Ge seemed to have discovered something, squinting his eyes slightly. It appeared that Wu Yong was very focused on selecting stones, but his fingers were lightly sliding across the tabletop. Had Chu Ge not extended his hand gently over the tabletop, the fluctuations of Spiritual Power from Wu Yong’s fingers would have gone undetected.

A Postnatal Middle Stage Martial Artist, huh?

Heh.

Although Tang Xin did not ask for Chu Ge’s help, Chu Ge felt that it was necessary to step in when the time came. After all, he would have to deal with the Tang Family next. He might not act openly, but he could cause some disruption from the shadows.

Thinking so, he lightly placed his finger on the table and tapped rhythmically.

Wu Yong was taken aback, then he withdrew his hand, and in disbelief, he placed his fingers on the table again. What’s happening! He looked up in astonishment, his gaze immediately locking onto Chu Ge, a glint of something inexplicable in his small eyes.

Just now, when he was sensing the Spiritual Power emitted by the jade, he was inexplicably struck by a force that numbed his fingertip. He could clearly feel that this power came from the Innate Realm.

Wu Yong’s probing gaze swept over Chu Ge a few times, could it be, this young man who also looked to be in his twenties, was actually an Innate Martial Artist?

But, why would he interfere with the jade stone assessment?

As this question surfaced in his mind, on the other side, Tang Xin had already picked a stone and handed it to the Stone Opening Official.

"Mr. Wu Yong, please give me the stone you’ve picked out," Boss Xu said with a stiff smile, his tone respectful.

Because of that young man’s disruption just now, he couldn’t really determine which stone was the top-grade!

Randomly picking one, he handed it to the Stone Opening Official.

Chu Ge was somewhat speechless and closed his eyes briefly; damn, was Wu Yong extremely lucky today? To be able to blindly pick a top-grade jade stone.

The second round was still arranged by Tang Xin.

"Hahaha." Shen Congwen laughed even more joyously, looking at Tang Xin disdainfully and clicking his tongue, "I say, Miss Tang, if you lose one more round, you will have to kneel in front of everyone, right?"

"And strip naked!" someone in the crowd yelled excitedly, which elicited whistles around, and everyone’s excited gaze fell on Tang Xin.

Tang Xin was beautiful, with an attractive figure, especially her pale, long, and straight legs, which any man couldn’t help but salivate over.

Tang Xin’s cheeks flushed slightly with anger as she glared at Shen Congwen. Her hand hanging by her side clenched tightly, her fingernails digging into her flesh, a constant reminder to remain rational in pain.

Several bodyguards standing behind her noticed the crowd was starting to jeer and moved forward, forming three groups to surround Tang Xin in the middle, turning their backs to her, and staring coldly at those people.

"Anyone who dares to say another word, watch out, I’ll cut off your tongues!" Ah Chu could no longer bear it, and if it was possible, she truly wanted to gouge out the eyeballs of those insulting Miss Tang!

"Hey! What’s this, daring to gamble but too scared to admit defeat?"

"That’s right! A loss is a loss! What’s with this fit of rage? Is this how unsteady Miss Tang of the Tang Family is?"

"You..." Ah Chu was fuming.

"Ah Chu, stand down," Tang Xin said coolly, her gaze sweeping around, an icy aura emanating from her, "Isn’t there still three rounds left? I haven’t lost yet!"

Tang Xin’s tone was exceptionally resolute, causing Chu Ge to look upon her with increased regard.

He stepped forward slowly, chiming in, "That’s right, the bet isn’t over yet, isn’t it too early for you all to be drawing conclusions?"

His firm voice rang out, and the surrounding noise gradually subsided.

Everyone looked curiously at the young man who suddenly spoke up, and Shen Congwen asked with a puzzled expression, "And you are?"
