Chapter 1778: Chapter 1777: About to Lose?

Wei Hu’s eyes were filled with killing intent. Lin Dong’s words made him realize that Lin Dong might have seen through his relationship with Miao Lun.

"This kid can’t be allowed to live."

If it were just earlier, Wei Hu might have only thought about teaching him a lesson. But now, he wanted Lin Dong dead.

But Lin Dong didn’t bother wasting more words with them and directly said, "So, are you guys gambling on jade or not? Quit dawdling like a bunch of old grannies."

Miao Lun was also afraid that Dong Tiancheng might go back on his word, so he was eager to start now.

As long as he won this final round, they would gain control over all Dong Tiancheng’s jade business.

Moreover, Dong Tiancheng would have to exit Jadeite City.

From then on, all the jewelry business in Jadeite City would be entirely in their hands!

The benefits involved here were enormous, even Nanyang’s Wei Family paid great attention to it.

At that moment, Miao Lun glanced at Lin Dong and said, "Kid, let me show you what a real master in stone gambling looks like."

"Stop yapping and get on with it," Lin Dong waved dismissively, looking impatient.

Miao Lun responded coldly, "Since you dislike dragging it out, let’s gamble in the simplest way."

"Each of us picks a rough jade stone from the Jade Market, and we see whose cut yields a green more valuable."

Lin Dong nodded. "Okay."

Miao Lun then deliberately glanced at Dong Tiancheng and asked, "Boss Dong, what’s your opinion?"

With all his assets already wagered on Lin Dong, Dong Tiancheng resolutely said, "I’ll follow what this young man decides. If he says it’s okay, then it’s okay."

"Hahaha. Boss Dong, seems like I need to take back my earlier comment about you being stingy and lacking vision."

"You’re quite daring, aren’t you? To bet all your assets on an unfamiliar young man..."

"Alright, enough nonsense. Quit rambling like an old woman. Let’s get started already." Even Dong Tiancheng couldn’t help but say this now.

"Alright, let’s begin," Miao Lun said nonchalantly. At this moment, all he cared about was defeating Lin Dong.

And then obtaining all of Dong Tiancheng’s assets.

Just thinking about the reward waiting for him made his expression resemble a dog eyeing a bone.

"Heh heh, once this is over, the Young Master promised me three Replenishing Yuan Pills. Those pills can extend one’s life, and three of them can prolong my life by a full five years."

Miao Lun thought to himself, his face practically scrunched up with delight. If he had a tail like a dog, it would surely be wagging like crazy.

At this moment, Miao Lun walked to a rough jade stone, and through his sharp gaze, he discovered that it contained a block of Imperial Green glass jadeite weighing around two jin!

"I can’t believe I overlooked this top-grade stone earlier. The jade inside this stone is worth hundreds of millions. There’s no other stone here that can compare!"

As Miao Lun looked at the stone, he couldn’t help running his hands over it.

"Mr. Miao, are you sure you want this stone? I think it looks like a piece of waste material."

"Its surface is covered in small cracks."

"In the jade betting circle, isn’t there a saying, ’Not afraid of big fractures, but fear small cracks’?"

"Also, this looks like a piece of wiped stone. In our gambling circle, there’s another saying: ’Don’t buy wiped stones that show green.’"

"This stone aligns with both of those warnings. Isn’t it just waste upon waste?"

Wei Hu voiced his doubts.

He had knowledge of rough jade stones too.

Based on his expertise, this was undoubtedly a piece of scrap material.

However, upon hearing his remarks, Miao Lun replied, "Young Master Wei Hu, you cannot be so rigid in stone gambling."

"True, the sayings about fearing small cracks and avoiding wiped stones are well-known rules. But there’s another saying in our gambling world: ’Nothing is impossible!’"

"Sometimes, the most worthless-looking stones can yield the highest quality jade."

"Take earlier for example. I heard that you, Young Master Wei, actually lost to that kid. Didn’t he cut a piece of glass-type jadeite from a stone that looked like waste?"

"The stone I’ve chosen now looks like waste too, but it will absolutely defy expectations and cut out something extraordinarily shocking for you!"

At this, Wei Hu nodded.

He trusted Miao Lun’s assessment.

"I see, I’ve learned something. I look forward to witnessing Mr. Miao’s cut later. I’m sure it will leave me and everyone here astonished," Wei Hu said with a smile.

Seeing Miao Lun’s confidence, Wei Hu believed the chosen stone would yield an extraordinary jade slab.

He greatly anticipated the results of the cut.

Miao Lun was very pleased with his choice. Then he looked towards Lin Dong.

He asked Lin Dong, "Kid, have you made your selection?"

Lin Dong casually picked a stone and said indifferently, "Chosen."

Upon seeing the stone Lin Dong chose, Miao Lun froze for a moment before bursting into laughter.

"Kid, I thought you’d be impressive, but it turns out you’re just someone who craves attention. The stone you picked might as well be waste material."

"At best, it will cut out a tiny bit of green."

"That green’s value, I estimate, is just a few hundred bucks."

Miao Lun scrutinized the stone Lin Dong chose and saw the jade inside with his trained eyes.

Even Dong Tiancheng was stunned upon hearing Miao Lun’s words. He quickly asked, "Young man, are you certain about this stone?"

"It doesn’t seem to be good material at all."

Lin Dong responded coolly, "It may not be good material, but it’s enough to win this gamble."

"Hahaha! What an idiot. Win the gamble? You’re absolutely doomed, you imbecile!" Miao Lun burst into laughter before turning to the staff and saying:

"Why are you still standing around? Hurry up and cut his stone!"

"Once it’s cut open, my words will immediately be proven."

The staff quickly looked at Lin Dong and Dong Tiancheng.

Lin Dong handed over the stone voluntarily.

The staff accepted it and began cutting.

"Ssss~~~"

The first cut revealed nothing.

Quickly, he moved on to the second cut.

The second cut revealed a tiny bit of green.

It was about the size of a pinky fingertip.

Moreover, the quality of the green was poor. It wasn’t even close to glass-type or Imperial Green—nor could it qualify as medium-grade jadeite.

It was merely low-grade jadeite, worth only a few hundred bucks.

"Cut again!" At this moment, Dong Tiancheng’s face turned pale as he ordered the cutter to continue.

The third cut was made, and nothing appeared.

Typically, after three cuts, the process would stop.

And now the results were out.

Just as Miao Lun had predicted!

Lin Dong’s rough stone was indeed almost waste. It yielded only a tiny portion of jade worth a few hundred bucks.

"It’s over, it’s over. I actually trusted a loud-mouthed, boisterous stranger. This time, I’ve lost everything!"

At this moment, Dong Tiancheng was filled with regret.

He deeply regretted trusting Lin Dong!
