Eight million!

What Huo Qian didn’t expect was that Ye Qiu directly bought it without hesitation.

Originally, he had wanted to advise Ye Qiu against such rashness, especially since the previous two pieces of raw stone hadn’t been very promising, leaving Huo Qian unsure.

Just as he was about to speak, he stopped himself, thinking about the spree of raw stones they had just bought, all of which had turned out green, earning them a fortune of tens of millions.

It could be said that it was all thanks to Ye Qiu.

At this time, for Ye Qiu to make the purchase without consulting him didn’t seem to matter much.

Ye Qiu noticed the look in Huo Qian’s eyes and, without rushing to cut the raw stone, smiled at Huo Qian and said, “Brother Huo, you don’t blame me for deciding to buy it without consulting you, do you?”

Huo Qian shook his head, “Since Brother Ye wants to buy it, you must have your reasons.

I’m not much help anyway; it’s fine for you to make the decision yourself.”

Ye Qiu said, “It’s good that Brother Huo trusts me.”

As Ye Qiu spoke with Huo Qian, the stall owner, as well as the many onlookers behind them, were all eager for Ye Qiu to cut the piece he had bought.

After waiting a long time without Ye Qiu speaking up, they couldn’t help but become anxious.

“Young man, are you cutting this piece now?” asked the stall owner with a smile.

He too was someone who loved the gamble of stone cutting; otherwise, he wouldn’t have taken up this business.

However, sometimes he was afraid of gambling away everything, as that would mean a significant loss of money.

Hence, he preferred not to cut certain uncertain raw stones himself but to sell them instead.

Having just sold a valuable piece of raw stone, the stall owner naturally also wanted to know if it could yield truly exceptional jade.

To the stall owner’s inquiry, Ye Qiu responded with a shake of his head and said, “No, I’ll take this stone with me.”

Not cutting it?

Everyone looked at Ye Qiu with confusion, not understanding what he was up to.

Eight million was no small sum; did he not want to know what was inside the raw stone?

Everyone’s curiosity piqued as they watched Ye Qiu, failing to understand why he wouldn’t cut the stone immediately.

Noticing Ye Qiu’s calm and unhurried demeanor, Huo Qian caught on to his intentions and quickly made a phone call.

Soon, a vehicle arrived to transport the raw stone, weighing over a hundred pounds, to the car.

As Ye Qiu and Huo Qian drove away, many were still in a daze, puzzled by Ye Qiu’s thought process.

The crowd had yet to disperse when someone slowly remarked, “This young gambler is no simple character.

He was putting on a show for everyone from the very start, what a sly old fox!”

Some were perplexed, not understanding the meaning behind his words and sought further clarification.

The man continued, “Haven’t you understood yet?

From the beginning, the young gambler was actually aiming for that piece of stone he just bought.”

“Then why didn’t he choose that piece from the start?” someone followed up.

“That’s exactly where his cleverness lies.

He anticipated early on that someone would snatch the raw stone from him, so he feigned his first move.

Sure enough, someone couldn’t resist and fell right into his trap,” explained the man.

Among the crowd, some began to understand and their expressions turned to one of shock.

If not for this explanation, they would never have considered this angle, realizing that every move the young man had made had been a performance for them to see.

“I get it now,” someone chimed in, drawing the attention of many.

He said, “That guy pretended to be interested in a stone as a ploy to mask his ultimate goal.

Then he feigned interest in another piece, and someone took the bait, deceived by his facade.

After both cuts turned out without green, naturally, if he showed interest in any other piece, no one would dare snatch it away from him, right?”

All eyes revealed a dawning comprehension, and at the same time, their impressions of Ye Qiu turned to one of begrudging admiration, cursing him for being such a cunning old fox.

“That’s right, he used this method to deter anyone from making a move easily, so he obtained the best material,” the person who first understood Ye Qiu’s approach spoke up again.

“The best material?” A doubtful voice arose once more from the crowd.

The raw stone hadn’t been cut open; how could it be called the best material?

This question actually didn’t need any explanation; from the moment Ye Qiu purchased the raw stone until he left with it, it was enough to attest to the material’s extraordinariness.

Otherwise, why wouldn’t he have it cut on site?

Because he was afraid.

Afraid that cutting out a top-quality jadeite would bring trouble.

Any smart person could figure this out.

This naturally included the man who had spent ten million and got nothing in return.

He made a quick phone call, during which he demanded to ascertain the identities of Ye Qiu and Huo Qian, as well as their current location.

He had suffered a ten million loss all because of that person; it was all their fault, and he wanted to seek revenge on Ye Qiu.

The two who rapidly left the jade market were now fast driving on the road to Zhongshan City.

“Brother Ye, why didn’t we cut it open on the spot?

Why did we have to take it back with us?” Huo Qian couldn’t comprehend Ye Qiu’s actions.

He hadn’t thought deeply about it, so he couldn’t unravel why Ye Qiu was in such a rush to return to Zhongshan City.

“Brother Huo, this material, it’s not your ordinary material.

Its value far exceeds your imagination, at least much better than what we had cut before.

Cutting it there would easily attract unwanted attention, so it’s better to go back,” Ye Qiu explained.

With that hint, Huo Qian understood.

So, Ye Qiu was trying to avoid trouble, but how could Ye Qiu be so certain that this material would yield high-quality jade?

This was something Huo Qian just couldn’t see through.

“I’ll call my father right away, have him send someone to meet us.

Otherwise, if we get stopped, we’ll be in danger.” Suddenly realizing that the raw stone they were carrying might be worth tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, Huo Qian couldn’t stay calm.

For safety, he decided to call his father first to prevent any accidents.

Ye Qiu, however, seemed unconcerned about potential accidents.

Of course, having less trouble was good.

If they could avoid fighting, they would, so Ye Qiu was quite happy to have Huo Qian’s father intervene.

As they were about to reach Zhongshan City, an accident did occur.

Five black commercial vehicles appeared out of nowhere and blocked their path.

“Hand over the stone,” a strange man alighted from a vehicle and spoke indifferently.

Ye Qiu and Huo Qian looked at the man, taken aback for a moment.

The man before them seemed somewhat familiar.

In an instant, they recalled that he resembled the man who had spent ten million earlier, except this one had more of a societal air about him and appeared younger.

Huo Qian wasn’t afraid of such people; he had encountered many underworld figures before.

However, this wasn’t Zhongshan City, and the men in front of him were strangers who wouldn’t show him, Huo Qian, any respect.

Moreover, looking at his own side, it was just him and Ye Qiu, plus the driver—that’s three against more than ten tall and muscular men, who would not be easy to fight hand to hand.

Despite this, Huo Qian was not frightened and said, “The stone is ours.

Are you intending to rob us openly?”

“Humph, what if it is open robbery?

You caused my big brother to lose ten million for nothing, and you’ll have to compensate for that loss.

Hand it over quickly if you know what’s good for you, or don’t blame us for getting rough,” the young man said, a gleaming machete now in his hand.

A fierce aura instantly surged at them, and Huo Qian hadn’t expected the other side to be so outrageous.

During this tense moment, the sound of an engine came from ahead.

Seeing four or five black sedans approach from straight ahead, Huo Qian revealed a slight smile, and his tense nerves suddenly relaxed.
