Chapter 51: Another Win
882 Words
“Bro, you’re not seriously going to gamble with this old guy again, are you? There’s no need for this, is there?” Han Chong froze for a moment. After deducting the 3 million yuan cost and adding the 5 million Wang Yishan had already handed over, the two of them had made 12 million in total. Divided between them, that would give them 6 million each. If they kept gambling and lost, the loss could be catastrophic!
“Are you saying you’re too scared to continue betting?” Li Ke mocked, a sneer on his face.
Wang Yishan’s expression was rigid as he spat out a word, “Give.”
“As long as you’re willing to continue gambling,” he added.
“How much are you willing to give?” Chen Xuan asked, his curiosity piqued.
Wang Yishan took a deep breath and said, “Here’s the deal. We’ll give ourselves an hour. Within that hour, both of us will find raw stones in this gambling hall. It doesn’t matter how many we find, but it’s limited to this hour. After the hour is up, we’ll cut the stones. Whoever’s jade sells for the highest price will be the winner. Of course, if you win, all the jade I cut will belong to you. How does that sound?”
Chen Xuan’s eyes lit up again. He immediately grabbed Wang Yishan’s hand. “Okay, it’s a deal!”
“No way, this little security guard really agreed to it? Does he think his luck will be that good again?” someone muttered.
“A person’s luck can’t possibly hold out forever, especially when he’s up against a seasoned expert like Master Wang. This little security guard is practically asking for trouble.”
“He’s definitely going to lose this time. There’s no way he’ll win again.”
The people around them shook their heads. Chen Xuan wasn’t stopping while he was ahead; he was digging his own grave.
Wang Yishan sneered and looked at his watch. “It’s exactly three o’clock now. At four o’clock, we’ll start cutting the stones.”
After speaking, Wang Yishan walked off with Li Ke and the others.
Han Chong looked anxious. “Chen Xuan, why are you stubbornly going against this old guy? If we lose, we’ll be in big trouble!”
“He’s willing to pay us, so how could we lose?” Chen Xuan grinned widely. He put his arm around Han Chong’s shoulder and said, “Come on, let’s buy some stones. Today, we’re going to make that old man choke on his own blood!”
“Choke on his blood? Kid, just don’t make us bleed first!” Han Chong muttered to himself, but he still cautiously asked, “Chen Xuan, are you really sure about this?”
Chen Xuan rolled his eyes and replied, “Otherwise, do you think it was just a fluke that I won last time?”
Han Chong paused. He had seen Chen Xuan win big at the jade market before, and now it had happened again.
Realizing this, Han Chong immediately grew excited. The boy was definitely no ordinary person—he had incredible skills, and his talent in jade gambling was unmatched.
With this thought in mind, Han Chong eagerly followed behind Chen Xuan. No matter what, he’d stick with this guy. Even if Chen Xuan farted, it would smell like roses to Han Chong!
As the two walked around the entire gambling hall, Han Chong was quick to buy up any raw stones that Chen Xuan showed interest in. He didn’t even hesitate—just one word: buy!
They looked like typical newly rich people, buying up everything without a second thought.
But Chen Xuan and Wang Yishan’s bet had already spread throughout the gambling hall. Everyone’s eyes were on them. Some had even placed their own bets, and no one thought that Chen Xuan could win. Everyone was rooting for Wang Yishan.
An hour passed quickly, and Chen Xuan had picked out three raw stones worth 10 million yuan in total.
After spending all this money, Chen Xuan and Han Chong only had 2 million left of their earlier earnings.
Just as Chen Xuan was about to head back, a massive raw stone—about the size of a person—caught his eye.
“Bro, you’re not thinking about buying this one, are you?” Han Chong was shocked to see Chen Xuan standing in front of the enormous stone without moving.
Han Chong immediately voiced his concern, “This stone looks huge, but even I can tell that the odds of it being profitable are low. It might look impressive on the outside, but the inside could be full of garbage. And it’s priced at 30 million—this is clearly a trap for newbies. You’d better not touch it.”
Chen Xuan didn’t respond to Han Chong’s warnings. Instead, he felt a surge of excitement. Standing before this towering stone, he could feel an immense power stirring within it. This meant that the stone contained a large jade piece—what kind, he wasn’t sure yet, but it had to be valuable.
Even if it was just a regular glass-type jade, it would still sell for an astronomical price!
