"Wait!"
As everyone was about to start with the cutting tools, Ma Liang, who had a look of despair on his face, stood up to stop them again.
"What now? We've compensated as necessary, what reason could you possibly have now?" Wang Zhao Ping looked at him.
"No, I mean, let me do it. The item inside is too precious. A small cut, and you and I would both be sinners," he said with a bitter smile.
Everyone's eyes immediately lit up upon hearing this.
Was he admitting there was something inside, and not just something ordinary?
Wang Zhao Ping thought about it and ultimately nodded his head.
In this situation, if the relic was damaged, Ma Liang's crime would only be greater. He probably wouldn't be so heartless.
Together, they laid the white jade elephant down.
"Zzz~zzz~"
Amid the somewhat harsh sound of cutting, it took about twenty minutes before Ma Liang carefully removed a stone slab from the belly of the elephant, revealing a cavity.
