Chapter 264: Chapter 264: Xuandu Jade Stone Conference (7)

"Miss, that Qin Fang is no easy target; he’s ruined nearly a hundred women, if not eighty. With your looks, you’d better be careful. It’s easy to dodge an open spear but hard to guard against a hidden arrow," Zhang Yuksheng cautiously advised, over and over again.

"Yes, Miss," Liao Jinglin added in a whisper when no one was around, "Not long ago, Qin Fang was involved in a scandal where he drugged and violated two female college students who were working part-time at a bar. After the deed was done, the family of one girl took money and left, but the other demanded justice and was killed by people from the Qin Family."

An Yiqing narrowed her eyes slightly, a cold light flashing in her watery eyes. She said with a radiant smile, "Don’t worry, if he dares to make a move, I’ll make sure he won’t return."

Zhang Yuksheng and Liao Jinglin shivered from the chill emanating from An Yiqing, both of them involuntarily getting goosebumps.

"Miss," said Zhang Yuksheng, rubbing the hair on his arms that had stood on end, "The Qin Family’s current generation is pretty much done for. That Qin Fang and his sister, Qin Jia, have been spoiled rotten by Xiao Shulan. But that Qin Han, despite carrying the reputation of being a bastard, has a decent character."

An Yiqing thought of the man with the simple and honest face she had just seen and couldn’t help but smile meaningfully. "A barking dog never bites; the trickiest part of the Qin Family is definitely not Qin Dingshan."

Zhang Yuksheng and Liao Jinglin were taken aback, exchanging glances. A barking dog never bites? Could it be that...

As this thought crossed their minds, a faint chill arose in the hearts of Zhang Yuksheng and Liao Jinglin—how frightening the human heart can be, beyond imagination!

...

In the Stone-Cutting Area, the Stone-Cutting Machines were neatly arranged, along with various stone-cutting tools. Everyone could freely choose any master to cut the stones, of course, for a fee.

As more people started to gather in the Stone-Cutting Area, An Yiqing and her group reverted to their previous roles.

"Manager Zhang, thank you for this," Liao Jinglin said pretentiously.

"Don’t mention it, brother. It’s no trouble at all," replied Zhang Yuksheng as he took off his jacket, rolled up the sleeves of his shirt, and revealed his muscular arms.

Liao Jinglin’s two assistants struggled to lift the largest piece of rough jade from a small cart and laboriously placed it on the Stone-Cutting Table. Following An Yiqing’s earlier commands, Zhang Yuksheng drew a few simple lines on the rough jade, then picked up the Stone-Cutting Machine and began cutting.

An Yiqing wasn’t naive; she knew that even with Liao Jinglin’s skill, getting a good piece of rough jade didn’t guarantee successful cutting. They were putting on this show for others to see. The timing wasn’t ripe; the Xuanjin Yu Jade couldn’t be exposed yet. With her current power, she couldn’t afford to put everything out in the open, as it would be too easy to arouse suspicion and provoke theft.

While Zhang Yuksheng was cutting, a few other machines nearby were also operating. However, without exception, all of them ended up losing their bets. The onlookers sighed - such is the allure of jade stone gambling, seeking the thrill in the one in a thousand, even one in ten thousand chances.

As the onlookers saw gamble after gamble fall through, they gathered around An Yiqing and her companions, hoping to see some green emerge from this piece of rough jade.

Zhang Yuksheng carefully followed the lines drawn earlier and made a cut, revealing a layer of white mist on the cross-section.

"There’s mist! There’s mist!" The onlookers exclaimed—it meant that there was jade inside the rough stone. This phenomenon was simply exhilarating.

Zhang Yuksheng remained silent, picking up the grinding wheel to start carefully polishing. It wasn’t long before a rich green light peeked through the cut surface!

"Is that...?"

"It must be Positive Green. Quickly cut it open to see what the texture is like!" the onlookers urged anxiously.

Zhang Yuksheng took up the Stone-Cutting Machine, cut cleanly along the other lines, then methodically used the grinding wheel to polish off the remaining stone skin.

When the jade was completely revealed, Zhang Yuksheng poured a splash of clear water over it, and a rich green light spilled out.

"It’s Golden Silk Positive Green!"

"Lucky indeed, the first piece of rough jade turned out green! It might just be Golden Silk Species, but it’s all about the color!"

"Manager Liao, congratulations! One piece turned green; such good fortune!"

The onlookers at the scene congratulated him in turn, praising Liao Jinglin for his sharp eye and Zhang Yuksheng for his stone-cutting skills, lavishing compliments on both of them.

Since Xuanjin Yu Jade dealt in the jade stone business, the onlookers naturally had little interest in the jade Liao Jinglin cut, nor did they rush to quote prices. They were just there to feast their eyes. But Liao Jinglin didn’t play by the usual rules. He said cheerfully, "Ladies and gentlemen, Liao only came to the Xuandu Jade Stone Conference to broaden his horizons this time. Thanks to our chairman’s wisdom, I have free rein to deal with these jades. Liao has decided to sell all the jade that has been cut, to the highest bidder!"
