Chapter 357: 0356 - A corpse

Du Hao could hardly wait to cut open the various raw stones before him. If all of them contained high-quality jade, it wouldn’t matter even if he gave one to Ye Qiu.

Following Ye Qiu’s description, the stone-cutting worker began to work, choosing a rather large raw stone to cut first.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, as the stone-cutting worker continuously changed directions, many scraps were chipped off from the boulder, revealing a green head emerging clearly.

At that moment, everyone’s breathing quickened with the motion of the machine in the stone-cutting worker’s hands.

After a while, the stone-cutting worker stopped because, following exactly what Ye Qiu had described, he had managed to cut out a whole piece of jade meat without damaging it at all, surprising even himself. This kind of stone-cutting experience was a first for him.

Du Hao couldn’t help but step forward, wiping the limestone dust with his sleeve to reveal a green color as fresh as the grass sprouting in a field in spring, lush and bursting with vitality.

The three experts couldn’t help but draw close to observe and couldn’t help exclaiming, "The water is of the finest grade, high hardness, clean and translucent, this is a top-tier piece of jade."

It was a piece of jade as big as a water bucket, invaluable.

Du Hao felt excited, at this moment he had no regrets about giving a good piece of jade to Ye Qiu, because just this one piece could recover all the costs. This piece of fine jade weighed at least seventy or eighty pounds, and if carefully sculpted, its price could double. If sold by the gram, it would fetch a sky-high price.

Cut again!

Du Hao couldn’t resist wanting to see the results from the other raw stones, and as Ye Qiu continued to describe how to cut the stones, one after another, pieces of jade were cut.

Football-sized, basket-sized, washbasin-sized, each one was high-quality jade, and in less than half a day, the area was filled with invaluable pieces of jade, each worth tens of millions.

Any of these stones alone was worth the price of the raw stones previously bought.

Struck it rich!

Even the twelve bodyguards were breathing rapidly, the jade stones before them definitely worth billions, maybe even tens of billions!

The three experts just stood there, dazed, feeling the scene before them somewhat surreal, as they had never seen such an abundance of top-tier jade piled up in front of them.

"Made a fortune," Li Jinglong said excitedly.

At this moment, everybody’s view of Ye Qiu was like looking at a divine being. How had he managed to appraise the raw stones with such accuracy?

Even if the first time was a coincidence, with so many stones all yielding high-quality jade without exception, it proved one thing—Ye Qiu had real skill, something even the three experts admired about his stone appraisal technique.

In comparison, the raw stones they selected and cut did not produce jade that reached even one-twentieth the quality of those selected by Ye Qiu, showing a clear difference.

"No, the value of these jades is too great. If word gets out, it would be a disaster. We must act quickly!" Du Hao’s expression changed.

Getting good jade was lucky, making one’s net worth jump instantly, but this was Myanmar, and if others knew that Du Hao had cut jade worth billions, it would definitely attract covetous people.

Billions! Even Du Hao, who had been in business for many years, had never controlled so much wealth.

Even Li Jinglong’s family, which was considered a major financial group, would not find it easy to come up with billions, and for Li Jinglong too, this was the first time seeing billions worth of items right before him.

Faced with such a vast treasure, no one could remain unmoved. Among the group, probably only Ye Qiu remained serene.

"Brother Ye, the value of these jades is beyond imagination. Your contribution is the greatest; I will not let you down."

"Ladies and gentlemen, please stay here and don’t wander around. Li Jinglong, stay with everyone; I need to step out!"

Du Hao told the group, signaling that they should not go outside. He also feared that if the news spread, it could quickly turn this place into a battlefield.

He had to find a buyer fast, to sell off the jadeite, keeping perhaps one or two pieces for later sale.

Everyone present was brought by Li Jinglong, and naturally, they did not refuse. They quietly stayed there with Li Jinglong. As for Du Hao, he had already left the premises, his face a mixture of anxiety and excitement.

The three experts were mesmerized by the jadeite before them. Soon, one of them got up, parted the curtain door, and jumped back in fright. There were about twelve people surrounding the house, all looking menacing—an unmistakable sign of trouble.

Frightened, the expert, still reeling, said to everyone, "The security outside is really tight. Isn’t this excessive? Such measures only draw more attention!"

But on closer reflection, it made sense. After all, the value inside the house was astronomical. If Du Hao didn’t station people outside to watch carefully, it would be too careless of him.

Li Jinglong glanced at the expert who had spoken; seeing Li Jinglong’s displeased expression, the expert awkwardly smiled and said no more.

Being in the same boat with his cousin, he naturally did not wish for anything to happen to the jadeite. Anyone harboring different intentions at this moment would be his enemy.

This was something Li Jinglong absolutely would not tolerate.

The only one Li Jinglong was worried about was Ye Qiu. The three experts were not much of a concern as they were nearly at the end of their days, and the twelve bodyguards were all vetted thoroughly. Even if they were tempted, they would have to weigh if they could spend what they managed to steal.

It was only Ye Qiu that Li Jinglong both dreaded and feared.

He had no particular relationship with Ye Qiu. He had eagerly invited Ye Qiu primarily because of Ye Qiu’s expertise in stone appraisal. To persuade Ye Qiu, he had repeatedly shown goodwill by aiding Shen Mengchen, eventually securing Ye Qiu’s agreement.

If Ye Qiu were to be greedy now, Li Jinglong truly did not know what he would do.

Even with twelve bodyguards protecting the place, Li Jinglong felt somewhat insecure concerning Ye Qiu.

However, when Li Jinglong saw that Ye Qiu’s eyes were only fixed on a raw stone he had chosen, it significantly eased his mind. At least Ye Qiu did not show any desire to seize those pieces of jadeite.

A twinge of guilt rose from the depths of Li Jinglong’s heart. He felt he might have judged Ye Qiu unfairly, for if Ye Qiu were really in need of money, he could have easily come here and picked any raw stones himself rather than accompany him.

Upon careful consideration, Li Jinglong thought he might have been overthinking. In fact, Ye Qiu was the least likely to be greedy at this moment.

Feeling a bit ashamed towards Ye Qiu, Li Jinglong stepped forward and said, "Brother Ye, if you would like to cut open this raw stone, I could find someone to help you do it."

Ye Qiu did not refuse, he stared at Li Jinglong for ten seconds before saying, "That sounds good."

Li Jinglong breathed a sigh of relief, then he called over a stone-cutting worker to continue the cutting.

However, Ye Qiu only had one instruction: cut off all the skin, and do not alter anything else.

Less than twenty minutes passed.

A stone cut into an egg-like shape revealed its inner features.

After cleaning the surface, everyone’s gaze shifted from surprise to horror!

"This... inside here... there’s a person!"
