Xiao Yun was also stunned after hearing Xiao Yu's account. She had been complaining about Li Xiang's inhuman actions, but being dismembered and having organs removed was far worse.
Regardless, her life was saved.
She was not a chaste martyr.
She had a very open view on matters between men and women.
She had experienced her first love and also the physical aspects of a relationship.
Even when Guo Xuyang helped her detoxify last time.
By then, she was no longer a virgin.
She was so beautiful, and before she met Guo Xuyang, countless handsome and powerful men had pursued her. She couldn't resist those temptations.
Xiao Yu informed Guo Xuyang that Xiao Yun had been rescued. Of course, he didn't mention Xiao Yun's experiences in Basílio, São Paulo.
Guo Xuyang was relieved to know Xiao Yun was safe.
However, he would not let Li Xiang off easily for what he had done.
Since Li Xinglong's sudden death, his businesses had been encroached upon by surrounding forces.
Guo Xuyang found Li Xiang again and used his hypnotic abilities to implant a perversion for women in his consciousness, making him unable to leave men for the rest of his life.
At the same time, he used his X-ray vision to destroy all the video recordings and photographs from that night, as he feared the spread of this material online would cause further harm to Xiao Yun.
Since Xiao Yun had returned to the country, the diamond mine in Basílio could no longer be exploited, and Lv Liang and Guo Xuyang had to return.
The cargo ship was loaded with soybeans this time.
It had to be said that their business was profitable, with no empty space.
As they passed through South Africa, they found Chik again and collected nearly three tons of diamonds.
"Chik, can you give me a little more?"
"Mr. Lv, you know this is my utmost effort. I can't give nothing to the others, can I? You see my point?"
Chik spoke tactfully; business couldn't be solely focused on one line.
When Lv Liang and his group were preparing to return to China, they received a call from a diamond exploration expert.
"Mr. Lv, we've found diamonds. The quality is good, but we're not sure about the reserves yet."
"Where did you find them?"
"Next to the wildlife park. The person you brought with you is simply amazing.
Below is a fault line, and below the fault line are diamonds.
We are currently drilling down to see the thickness.
If the thickness is sufficient, the reserves here could reach hundreds of tons.
Enough for our company to use for two to three years."
"Good, I'm on my way." Lv Liang almost jumped with joy upon receiving the call.
"Yangzi, let's go to the wildlife park."
"What about the cargo ship?"
"Let them go first. We'll fly back when we return."
Lv Liang arranged for people to take the collected diamonds back to the cargo ship and have them return to China first.
Then, he prepared to go to the wildlife park with Guo Xuyang.
"Brother Liang, I found a good gold deposit here last time. Do you think we should mine it with Chik and the others?"
Guo Xuyang had been struggling with whether to tell them about the gold deposit near the mine they were jointly developing with Chik, so he finally asked.
"Where did you find it? If they don't know about it, I suggest we mine it ourselves. They won't care too much. After all, they have too many resources."
"It's not far from the gold mine we are jointly developing."
"Is it the place where you said to look ahead and almost caused an earthquake?"
It had to be said that Lv Liang's brain worked fast, and he guessed it immediately.
"Yes. That place is too close. That's why I don't know what to do?"
"It is indeed too close. If we have to dig a new tunnel, it's not worth it. Extending it by three thousand to five thousand meters below is fine. What's your plan?"
"I want to get more shares."
"That's probably not going to work. They won't agree.
Whether you tell them or not, as long as they don't discover it, we have a chance.
How about this, don't tell them for now. If they discover it, we'll accept our misfortune.
If they don't discover it, we can always dig a new tunnel. What do you think?"
"Okay." Guo Xuyang agreed, having made up his mind.
When he returned, he would collect all the gold from below into his mind.
Since Chik and the others wouldn't share their shares with him, he saw no need to mine jointly with them.
Lv Liang, of course, had no idea what was on his mind. He made a call to Elena.
"Is it convenient now? We're going to the wildlife park."
"You're back? Okay. I'll be right there."
Guo Xuyang hadn't expected Lv Liang to call Elena. He had an indescribable feeling about Elena.
He thought she was a seductive and reckless little vixen.
He didn't know what the relationship between Lv Liang and Elena was, nor why he always called her.
But one thing was certain.
It was that Lv Liang and Elena had not crossed the line of friendship.
Elena arrived quickly, wearing a short skirt today, with a voluptuous figure. He really didn't understand why her fiancé would leave her in such a place.
Wasn't he afraid she'd be snatched away?
"Where is Miss Xiao? Why are you two alone?"
"Miss Xiao had something to attend to and returned to the provincial capital early," Lv Liang said. "Why are you dressed so beautifully today?"
"I was just at a cocktail party. Let's go. We can chat on the way." Elena beckoned them to get into the car.
"Diamonds have been found at the diamond mine in the wildlife park, so I called you to come over," Lv Liang said. "Otherwise, I wouldn't have called you."
"Really? Then I can go back and report," Elena said happily.
She stepped on the accelerator, and the car sped off like an arrow.
Xiao Yun sneezed twice. After being rescued by Xiao Yu, she had returned to the provincial capital.
She spent her days in the villa watching master stone cutters process rough jade.
The rough jade in the villa was almost depleted.
At this rate, it would all be processed within a week at most.
The King's Villa was also almost renovated. Cheng Xiuping had arranged for professional construction teams to work around the clock, connecting the two villas.
While ensuring the villa's foundation was not compromised, they deepened the swimming pool and built waterproof walls, creating a massive space eight meters high, fifty meters wide, and two hundred meters long.
On this basis, the space was divided into a rough stone storage area, a cutting area, a carving area, and a boutique area.
The boutique area was equipped with the most advanced anti-theft and humidity-control systems.
At the same time, they contacted security companies to install the most advanced surveillance and anti-theft systems in both villas to ensure absolute safety.
After all, any piece of rough jade processed here could yield millions of yuan worth of jadeite.
Cheng Xiuping now had little interest in real estate. He was astonished by Guo Xuyang's speed of wealth creation.
These rough stones were continuously processed, and most of the jadeite inside was of high ice quality.
Decomposing, carving, and stocking the jadeite, sometimes a single piece of jadeite was equivalent to his income for half a year or even a year.
This was too demoralizing; no one could withstand such a blow.
Working tirelessly every day, attending endless meetings, reading countless reports, and participating in endless banquets, only to earn less in a year than Guo Xuyang earned from one piece of jadeite.
[Author's aside]: New year, new atmosphere, wishing all friends a prosperous New Year and abundant wealth!
