Chapter 132 Zhang Pangzi? Jiangbei Underground Emperor?
At this moment, everyone reacted, looking at the raw stones opened by Chen Xuan. Indeed, not even a trace of green was visible, clearly indicating they were waste stones.
Everyone's expression turned a bit strange. These raw jade stones were of excellent quality; logically, there should have been some jade, and it was impossible for there to be none at all.
Elder Tang's face was somewhat displeased, but he said with full confidence, "It seems you also understand stone gambling. Then you should know that not all raw stones are genuine. Even raw stones of the highest quality can have waste stones."
"Exactly!"
The skinny monkey swallowed and shouted, his eyes darting around. Knowing the true nature of the raw stones, he was already looking for an opportunity to slip away.
"Is that so? Then let's open a few more..."
Chen Xuan stepped forward, casually picked up a raw stone that appeared to be of full-green quality from the truck, raised his hand, and a white light flashed from his fingertips. The raw jade stone was then cut open.
This method was several times sharper than any cutting machine.
Everyone was a bit stunned.
It would be a shame if this person didn't go to a professional stone gambling venue; he was wasting his talent!
Now, they were paying less attention to the jade that was revealed, and Chen Xuan's method of opening stones had become their focus.
"Another waste stone!"
Chen Xuan held the opened raw stone and showed it to Tang Lin.
Tang Lin's expression grew even more somber.
With his eyesight, this raw stone clearly possessed full-green quality, yet it turned out to be a waste stone.
He couldn't help but feel a little shaken, but given his high status in the stone gambling circle and his strong pride, he gritted his teeth and said, "Keep opening!"
Chen Xuan's methods were much faster than the cutting machine. Soon, he opened over a dozen raw stones. Without exception, not a single one contained jade; they were all waste stones.
Even the unluckiest person wouldn't pick a dozen waste stones in a row. Moreover, this batch of raw stones came from a major mine in Myanmar and was of excellent quality, making the probability of waste stones very low.
Tang Lin looked at the pile of cut waste stones, his expression suddenly becoming extremely dejected. In an instant, he seemed to have aged more than ten years.
He had been fooled!
He, a renowned jade master, had lost to a young man!
Even Murong Meng, no matter how foolish, could tell something was amiss. She suddenly turned her head, staring at the skinny monkey, and said coldly, "You dare to sell me fake goods! Someone, capture him!"
Several people quickly rushed forward and surrounded the skinny monkey.
The skinny monkey's face turned extremely ugly, and he gritted out, "Let me tell you, this is not your Jiangzhou. This is Jiangbei, and it's not your place to cause trouble!"
"So, the person who instructed you to sell fake goods must be from Jiangbei?" Chen Xuan said calmly.
The skinny monkey didn't expect Chen Xuan's mind to work so quickly. He was about to curse, but remembering Chen Xuan's abilities, he swallowed the words back.
He snorted, "So what? Let me tell you, there are people you can't afford to offend. It's best to let me go obediently, or you might not be able to leave."
Murong Meng's expression slightly changed. This matter likely involved some people from the Jiangbei underworld. Businesspeople feared entanglement with the underworld the most.
Adhering to the principle of not causing trouble, she said with a cold face, "You return the money now, and I'll let you all go!"
"This money can only be half returned; the other half is for our brothers' hard work." Seeing Murong Meng back down, the skinny monkey became greedy.
Murong Meng was about to agree when Chen Xuan raised his hand and slapped the skinny monkey across the face, saying coldly, "I don't care who you are. Call your boss over."
"You dare to hit me? Fine, you wait! I'll call people right now." The skinny monkey, covering his face, angrily prepared to make a call.
"Chen Xuan... you..." Murong Meng stared at Chen Xuan in astonishment.
"Since your uncle asked me to come, I'm going to handle this. If the money isn't returned and the business isn't done, won't I have no share?" Chen Xuan said earnestly.
Murong Meng shook her head helplessly.
Soon, a Rolls-Royce with a Jiangbei license plate drove over from a distance, followed by over a dozen minivans, likely bringing more than a hundred people.
Her expression grew even more gloomy.
Her current group of people likely wasn't enough to fill the gaps for them. This time, half of their capital might not be recoverable. She somewhat blamed Chen Xuan; he could fight, but these people were too numerous.
She had already called Murong Yuan. Murong Yuan had some influence in the Jiangbei area, and she hoped he would arrive sooner.
Seeing the license plate of the Rolls-Royce, the skinny monkey shouted excitedly, pointing at Chen Xuan's nose and cursing, "You better wait for me, you bastard."
Chen Xuan said calmly, "I'll wait then."
He didn't take these people seriously at all.
He pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and appeared nonchalant.
At this moment, over a dozen black minivans stopped. The doors were abruptly opened, and seven or eight figures rushed out, holding weapons and with fierce expressions.
The hundreds of people surrounded Chen Xuan and the others. Many were so scared their legs went weak.
The skinny monkey grinned excitedly.
Murong Meng was dumbfounded, her mind struggling to comprehend.
Was this just a simple acquaintance?
Based on appearances?
How many people had Chen Xuan scammed?
"I came to Jiangbei to buy raw jade stones. Didn't someone call you?" Chen Xuan threw the cigarette butt on the ground and pointed at the skinny monkey, saying lightly.
