The Beautiful CEO’s Close Bodyguard
Chapter 64 - 64 0064 Pulling the Firewood from Under the Cauldron

64: Chapter 0064: Pulling the Firewood from Under the Cauldron 64: Chapter 0064: Pulling the Firewood from Under the Cauldron There was indeed a piece of jade inside the stone, as large as a goose egg, which by volume alone could completely overpower Chu Ge’s, but this piece of jade looked dull and lusterless, barely distinguishable from the stone and covered with cracks resembling a spiderweb.

Wasted Jade!

As the name suggests, it’s a type of waste material, indistinguishable from the stone.

“What’s going on?” Duan Congxing’s face turned ugly.

Chris glanced at him guiltily and observed the Wasted Jade closely: “There’s nothing wrong with the appearance of the stone, there must be some internal issues, maybe the quality of the stone changed, or it’s been affected by something…”

“I don’t want to hear all that.” Duan Congxing cut Chris off: “I just want to know what’s happening here.”

Being so harshly reprimanded in public, Chris’s face obviously also turned sour, but after taking a few deep breaths, he answered honestly: “That kid just got lucky, I won’t give him another chance.”

“That’s better.” Duan Congxing finally shifted his gaze away from Chris, thinking to himself that this round was purely Chu Ge’s good luck.

Mr.

Ouyang rarely showed a smile, but his face soon tensed up again; this was only the first round, and there were four more to go.

Chu Ge couldn’t possibly be this lucky every time.

“You’ve successfully pissed me off, kid!” Chris glared fiercely at Chu Ge, a malicious smile on his lips: “Your eyes, I claim them!”

“Why the pointless talk?” Chu Ge still had that same indifferent demeanor, as if the outcome didn’t matter to him at all: “It’s too troublesome to go one by one, just pick out all the remaining nine at once!”

The whole place erupted in noise!

Chu Ge’s words were like a declaration of war, igniting the atmosphere completely, even Mr.

Ouyang opened his eyes wide, looking at him in disbelief.

“Has this kid lost his mind?

Winning one round by luck and he thinks he’s invincible?”

“That’s right, even Mr.

Divine Eye lost, how can he be so arrogant?”

“Alas, the Ouyang Family really took a heavy loss this time!

If they’d lost fair and square it would’ve been acceptable, but to be ruined by such a scammer, Mr.

Ouyang must be going mad.”

But Chu Ge was completely oblivious to the outside world, still standing steadily in front of the table, with no change in his facial expression.

Just then, Luo Tianmu suddenly broke free from several medical staff and strode up to Chu Ge: “Step aside, let me handle this round.”

“You?” Chu Ge recognized the voice and shook his head: “You can’t beat him.”

A surge of blood almost burst out of Luo Tianmu— you’re the one relying on luck, and you have the nerve to say I can’t?

“It’s still better than you blindly guessing with your eyes closed!” Luo Tianmu’s face turned red, clearly furious.

“What, are you from the Ouyang Family planning to break the rules now?” Duan Congxing suddenly spoke up.

He had seen Luo Tianmu’s skills before; although Chris had won five rounds in a row, a few of them were really close calls.

This bet was about twenty percent of the assets, so he couldn’t allow any accidents to happen.

But Duan Congxing didn’t know that he had made the choice he would regret the most in his life.

“Mr.

Luo, please come back!” Mr.

Ouyang said in a deep voice.

Luo Tianmu looked at Chu Ge, who had his eyes covered and bore an unfathomable expression on his face, and finally let out a deep sigh, shaking his head as he stepped back, appearing to have aged ten years in the process.

“Let’s begin then.” As Duan Congxing’s voice faded away, the two men began to pick stones from the table.

This time, Chris took his time observing every stone in his hand, even caressing some for several minutes.

Compared to him, Chu Ge’s actions were much more casual, simply tapping his fingers across the stones.

It even seemed as if he was picking blindly, whichever stone he pointed to was the chosen one.

The people from the Ouyang family behind them had already descended into despair, their faces ashen as they watched Chu Ge pick the stones, no one believed he had a chance to win.

Some far-sighted individuals were even considering their exit strategies.

Losing thirty percent of their assets all at once, the Ouyang family was likely to plummet from the number one family to very last, and the other three families were certainly not kind-hearted.

Once the Ouyang family fell from power, being suppressed was an obvious outcome.

After all, there’s only so much land in Shanghai.

Three families could divide up more resources than four!

Soon, nine stones were picked.

Chris, true to his reputation as a gambling stone expert, selected stones that, even from outward appearances, felt different.

In contrast, the stones chosen by Chu Ge looked like a hodgepodge of misshapen and cracked pieces, as if randomly collected from a mountain.

Mr.

Ouyang had already closed his eyes in despair, his grizzled beard trembling uncontrollably.

Although he was the patriarch of the Ouyang family, the sudden loss of thirty percent of the family’s assets from his own hands left him unable to explain to the younger generation.

“Take a good look now!” Chris pushed the stones towards Chu Ge, laughing loudly, “After this game, you won’t have another chance to see them.”

Chu Ge remained indifferent to Chris’s provocation, his demeanor calm as he touched each stone one by one, pausing for about a dozen seconds on each.

Unbeknownst to them, at this moment, the Spiritual Energy within the nine stones had already been completely absorbed by him!

Meaning, even if there had been precious Jade inside before, it had now turned into Wasted Jade.

“Let’s open mine first this time.”

Chu Ge’s stones were quickly ground open, and when the jade inside was exposed, a chorus of jeers filled the room.

Out of nine stones, astonishingly two were solid!

The remaining seven, although not as disappointing as the previous Quail Jade, were of mediocre quality, and altogether probably worth just tens of thousands.

At this point, Duan Congxing had already burst into laughter, his face flushed with excitement as he slapped the table: “Hahaha, Ouyang Yunbao, I’ve finally evened the score of decades of grievances!

I won’t give you any face anymore, I advise you to quickly take your family and leave Shanghai.

Otherwise, heh, without thirty percent of your assets, do you think you still have a foothold in Shanghai?”

Mr.

Ouyang had given up all hope at this time, snorting coldly: “Hmph, what becomes of the Ouyang family is none of your business!”

Duan Congxing’s gaze then turned to Chu Ge: “Little brother Chu, the Ouyang family is in decline.

What do you say about coming to the Duan family?

Don’t worry, as long as you’re willing to join us, I can guarantee your safety.

Threats like digging your eyes out can be taken as a joke.”

Mr.

Ouyang let out a sigh.

Duan Congxing had played a ruthless move, one that was indeed beautiful – any sane person would not turn down his invitation.

Just as the crowd was thick with discussion, Chu Ge suddenly spoke: “You haven’t opened your stones yet, isn’t Mr.

Duan celebrating a bit too early?”
