Reborn As Super Heiress-Chapter 834 - 830: Picking up a Bargain

To Huo Sining, compared to these brick materials, Olive Fragrance Resin is more attractive.

So she didn’t plan to get involved at all. Seeing so many people frantically flipping through the pile of stones, Huo Sining’s mind was still very clear, not following the crowd blindly.

After watching the commotion on the periphery for about ten minutes, Huo Sining heard the sound of sirens coming from the front and reckoned that the traffic police had learned about the traffic accident here and hurried over to deal with it.

Upon hearing the sirens, the boss’s face changed abruptly, and he anxiously urged the passengers to quickly select their goods and pay.

After the passengers chose the rough stones and paid, they were just about to turn around when seven or eight burly men suddenly appeared from nowhere. In no time, they righted the overturned truck and loaded the rough stones back onto the truck at lightning speed.

Soon, the stones originally piled on the road were cleared away completely.

The boss and a few burly men climbed onto the truck in a flash and quickly started the engine, driving away, leaving a bunch of stunned buyers and spectators standing on the periphery, faces covered in dust.

Seeing this scene, Huo Sining understood that these people were indeed scammers who set up a scheme to make passers-by who wanted to get rich overnight think they had found a bargain. Those who couldn’t resist the temptation would foolishly spend money on stones, feeling smug with the belief that those rough stones contained Jadeite.

The scammers had already left, and those who bought the stones finally realized they were deceived, regretting it immediately.

The passengers’ faces turned green and white, looking at the stones in their hands, feeling torn between throwing them away or holding onto them.

Everyone understood that these stones were likely just ordinary stones, and they had spent 500 yuan on them. The thought of such expensive stones was unbearable.

A few people who bought the rough stones cursed under their breath, spit on the ground, threw the stones aside, and hurried back to their vehicles.

The few confident Ruili people from Tengchong looked embarrassed since it was their claim that the stones were Jadeite rough that misled some of the buyers.

The misguided buyers glared at those Ruili people from Tengchong with hatred, probably just stopping short of attacking them under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

Watching their expressions of regret, anger, unwillingness, and remorse, Huo Sining found it amusing. If their intention wasn’t to gain without effort, they wouldn’t have fallen into the trap and been tricked.

Thinking this, she couldn’t help shaking her head and turned around to follow the crowd back to the bus.

Unexpectedly, after taking just a few steps, another passenger threw a stone, but missed the spot and it landed at Huo Sining’s feet.

Before she could lift her foot, her big toe hit the stone, causing her to stumble and almost fall.

The front end of the stone was sharp, and her toe throbbed with pain, making her gasp.

She turned sharply to find the culprit, but the person who threw the stone quickly hid in the crowd and disappeared within a few steps.

This collision was quite serious, and Huo Sining felt her toe was bruised. She could only accept the bad luck, glanced at the gray-brown rough stone, and prepared to keep walking, but that glance made her freeze.

On one side of the gray-brown rough stone, she seemed to see a flash of emerald green. Thinking she was seeing things, she bent down to take a closer look. Sure enough, on the fractured side of the stone, a fingernail-sized surface revealed a crystal-clear, vibrant green.

Huo Sining was stunned; she lowered her head to examine the stone closely. Confirming that what she saw was Jadeite, she was shocked, her mouth agape for a long time.

Was her luck too good?

The person who threw the rough stone hadn’t noticed the jadeite, meaning it only appeared when the stone was roughly thrown to the ground.

Unexpectedly, even the scammer’s brick material could yield jadeite. Huo Sining regretted not joining in earlier; she might have picked up a few more stones from the truck.

But it was too late now; the scammers had long gone. She couldn’t buy the bricks if she wanted to.

Traffic had started moving again, with the driver calling passengers to return to the bus. Snap back to reality, Huo Sining quickly and discreetly put the rough stone into her storage ring.

Then she extended her right hand to the nearest stones and in a blink, several bricks thrown around disappeared by her side.

The bricks weren’t worth much, but the rough stone revealed jadeite. Huo Sining realized there might be more rough stones among the bricks.

She could only pick up the closest stones quickly without drawing attention, especially since many people saw the stones being thrown, and the bus attendant was urging them to board.

She hurriedly grabbed a few stones and, seeing the bus about to leave, took a final glance at the scattered stones before reluctantly returning to the bus.

Arriving at Jinghong City, Huo Sining headed straight to the airport, catching the fastest flight back to S City.

Even upon returning to S City, Huo Sining was mentally excited. At home, she carefully inspected a box of Olive Fragrance Resin from her storage ring.

The resin, crystal clear and pale yellow-white, with a hint of citrus scent, seemed to still be fluid.

This quality clearly indicated freshly harvested Olive Fragrance Resin.

Fearing issues, after Yan En delivered the goods to the warehouse, Huo Sining secretly infused the Spirit of Azure Pearl into the resin.

The cooling effect of the spiritual energy was to prevent the resin from degrading in hot weather.

Unexpectedly, the Spirit of Azure Pearl not only cooled but also preserved the resin.

After infusing the resin, it changed, leaving Huo Sining stunned when she retrieved it from the storage ring.
