Chapter 68 The Last Day

At this time, I found that A Qiang was also looking at the original stone, and from time to time he looked at me from the corner of his eyes. His face was full of sarcasm and ridicule. Obviously, he was waiting to see my joke and expected me to lose miserably in stone gambling.

Liu Qingya stood beside him, looking helpless and bored. There seemed to be some conflict in her eyes. It was unclear whether she hoped that he would lose or that he would win.

Her fingers unconsciously tugged at the hem of her clothes, peeking at the bright flashlight in my hand from time to time, as if trying to judge something from my movements.

"Can you lure A Qiang into the water?"

A strange idea arose in my mind, and I quickly decided on a plan. I picked up a piece of raw stone with a price of 100,000 yuan and went to the counter.

This stone seemed to be greenish and performed well, but it was the result of fake color treatment on the surface because it gave off an unnatural luster under the strong light. It was a typical fake stone used by the boss to deceive laymen.

" You have eyes…" The boss gave me a thumbs up, his face full of fake smiles, his eyes flashing greed and sarcasm.

The safe behind him was half-closed, and one could vaguely see some cash and account books stacked inside, exuding a mysterious aura.

"Your name, Boss?" I asked coldly, watching his reaction.

"Your surname is Chang, and your name is Jianlu." The boss handed him a cigarette and said with a smile.

"Common green? This name is also very suitable for stone gambling, I thought to myself. It seems that he is also an expert in stone gambling. No wonder many of the raw stones are fake. Maybe he cut them himself and realized that he didn't see green, so he faked it to pretend that he didn't cut them…

On the surface, I quietly took the cigarette and put it aside. I took out my mobile phone to pay.

When I paid, I deliberately slowed down my movements. I caught a glimpse of A Qiang stretching his neck and looking at this scene expectantly. Liu Qingya frowned slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but swallowed it back.

After paying, I picked up the stone and walked to the stone disintegrator.

The roar of the stone-breaking machine was like a thunderstorm, exploding in the narrow stone-gambling shop. The flying stone fragments were like golden shrapnel, falling on everyone's shoulders.

When the original stone with a price tag of 100,000 was cut into two, the pale cross section glowed coldly under the fluorescent lights. Sighing sounds echoed in the crowd, as if a cold wind had blown past, blowing away all expectations.

" It's ruined. One hundred thousand yuan has gone down the drain." Some people smacked their lips, their eyes full of pity.

"This handsome guy is too fierce. Can't he buy a cheap stone to try his luck? Who wouldn't feel bad about losing 100,000 yuan?" A middle-aged man who spoke in a thick dialect shook his head repeatedly. The cigarette in his hand trembled slightly with his movements, and the ashes fell to the ground.

The other people also had the same pitiful expression on their faces, as if they were looking at an arrogant youth.

Only Ah Qiang's laughter was especially piercing. He had his hands on his hips and his eyebrows were dancing. Every line on his face was filled with gloating."Hahaha, I knew it! Zhang Yang will collapse!" He said he was a layman and insisted on being a rich man. He must have fallen for this!"

His laughter echoed in the shop, with undisguised pleasure.

Liu Qingya stood at the side with a complicated expression.

She bit her lips, her eyes moving between me and A Qiang, as if she couldn't bear it, and there was a trace of indescribable emotion in her eyes.

Yuan Xueyu was surprisingly calm. She gently held my hand, and her fingertips conveyed warmth and trust.

Of course, she knew that I had just earned tens of millions. A mere hundred thousand was just a drop in the ocean.

Moreover, I had given her a precautionary shot earlier. She had to keep a low profile and not let others suspect that she was an expert in stone gambling. In that case, cutting off a piece of raw stone first was the best way to hide it.

I deliberately put on a straight face and pretended to be dissatisfied. I raised my voice and said,"What do you know?" Although this is my first time gambling, I know that cheap is not good! The more expensive the raw stone, the higher the probability of gambling!"

There was a deliberate stubbornness in his voice, like a gambler whose eyes were red from losing.

"Right, right, right! The boss is right!" Boss Chang immediately echoed, and a hint of cunning flashed past his eyes." I carefully selected the raw stones in our shop. The more expensive they are, the more likely they are to be green! Getting rich overnight is not a dream!"

He rubbed his hands together as he spoke, as if he could already see more bills about to fall into his pockets.

However, most of the people around him looked at him suspiciously and shook their heads slightly. Obviously, they would not be fooled so easily.

Yuan Xueyu quickly understood my intention and quickly pretended to complain. She tugged at my arm and said,"Zhang Yang, you have already lost a hundred thousand. Don't gamble, okay?" Let's go watch a movie. If we continue gambling, I'll be angry!"

Her acting skills were superb. Her watery eyes were full of worry. People who didn't know would really think that she was worried about me.

I suddenly shook off her hand and put on a crazy gambler's posture: "Lost a hundred thousand will not bet?" That would be a waste! I must win it back today!"

As I spoke, I strode towards another raw stone with a price tag of 200,000. When I picked up the stone, I deliberately staggered, causing the surrounding people to exclaim.

After paying the bill, I came to the stone machine again, my eyes "full" of desperate ruthlessness.

As the blade slowly cut through, everyone's hearts rose to their throats.

When the original stone was cut open again, it was still a white stone without any trace of jade.

Sighing came like a tide, wave after wave.

" Sigh, you can't gamble on stones. This time, you lost another 200,000 yuan. All of a sudden, you lost 300,000 yuan." An old man shook his head bitterly, his white beard trembling slightly.

" Young man, you're still too impulsive. This 200,000 yuan was wasted just like that."

"The risk of gambling on stones is too great. I hope this young man can stop in time, otherwise he will regret it."

"..."

A Qiang laughed so hard that tears almost came out: "Hahaha, Zhang Yang!" Another loss of 200,000! Go on! If you don't continue gambling, the money in front will really be wasted!"

His laughter was full of ridicule and pleasure. At this moment, he must have been so happy that all his recent depression and grievances were swept away.

Boss Chang was grinning from ear to ear. Greed flashed in his eyes. He easily earned 300,000 yuan from these two fake raw stones.

I clenched my fists and pretended to be furious and incredulous."No way!" I bellowed. Why is there still no jade? I cut it into two pieces! This isn't scientific!"

There was a deliberate trembling in his voice, which vividly portrayed the appearance of a gambler who was anxious to lose.
