Chapter Fifty-Nine: The End of the Crossing (Part 1)

  "No need, I can handle this myself. You should go instead. I can tell that Zheng is counting on you a lot for this gamble. If he loses, he might blame you if you don't follow him!"

  Wu Xiaoli smiled slightly, while Li Yang let out a bitter laugh. Whether he followed or not, it would be a gamble either way. After all, Li Yang didn't have the skill to conjure jade from the gambling stones.

  "Okay, I'll go first, you choose and call me!"

  Li Yang thought for a moment, and finally still chose to follow Zheng Kai Da to dissolve the stone, just like Wu Xiao Li said. If Li Yang didn't follow him, it's possible that he really would have had some ideas. Luck is something that can't be explained or understood, and it's entirely possible that if Li Yang hadn't followed him, he wouldn't have been able to get a bit of good luck.

  The stone cutter was idle, and when Li Yang arrived, Sima Lin and Zheng Kaida had already placed the gambling stones. From the straight line drawn by Zheng Kaida on the gambling stone, he was preparing to make a cut from the middle, so that he could see the inside situation as soon as possible.

  What Li Yang didn't expect was that another stone-breaking machine was being used by the three brothers from yesterday, who were now sitting on the ground with stupid expressions, their feet surrounded by small pieces of broken stones of varying sizes. It seemed they had crushed the large gambling stone into fragments.

  It took a whole night's work to cut it like this, no wonder the eyes of the three people were all red.

  Li Yang shook his head slightly. If he hadn't suddenly appeared, they would have really been able to solve the puzzle of the golden silk and jade. But now it was impossible. Li Yang wouldn't give up what he had obtained just because he pitied them; that wasn't noble, it was stupid, very, very stupid.

  "Big brother, it's him!"

  The second of the three brothers saw Li Yang, suddenly sat up straight, his red eyes staring fiercely at Li Yang, with a hint of resentment in his gaze.

  "It's him, it's really him!"

  The boss also saw Li Yang, staring at him tightly, with various expressions on his face: ferocity, resentment, unwillingness and thick hatred, as if Li Yang was the murderer of his father.

  Li Yang seemed to feel their hostile gaze, and couldn't help but turn his head to take a look. The three brothers were now staring at him, all with a bitter and resentful expression, causing Li Yang to shake his head involuntarily.

  "Sima, something doesn't seem right, should I call those few people over?"

  Zheng Kaida also noticed the unfriendly gaze of those few people, earlier he and Sima had seen these three people, towards the miserable situation of the three people, apart from sympathy there were no other thoughts. Gambling with stones is like gambling, small bets delight the heart but big bets hurt the body, without this mental quality don't step into this line of work.

  Moreover, the piece of jade that could produce jade was sold to Li Yang by them with their own free will. If there's anything to blame, it's just that they didn't have as good luck as Li Yang.

  "Good!"

  Simar hesitated for a moment, then nodded. Zheng Kaida immediately walked to the side and made a phone call. As a billionaire, Zheng Kaida had his own bodyguards, only four in total, but they were all top-notch, capable of taking down four or five people at once. The ones Zheng Kaida mentioned earlier were these very bodyguards.

  He usually brings at least two bodyguards when going out, but this time he didn't bring them along because of Sima. Sima is a low-key person and doesn't like to show off. Zheng Kaida took the opportunity to call all the bodyguards over, just in case, and also to show off a bit. Unlike Sima, Zheng Kaida is not a low-key person.

  "Li Yang, you'd better watch out for those few!"

  Sim Lin leaned over to Li Yang and whispered a sentence, Li Yang nodded slightly. The few people's malicious appearance was obvious to everyone, at first glance it was clear that they were not good losers, and probably these few people had already blamed Li Yang for their losses in the gamble.

  "I know, I'll be careful, they don't dare to mess around in the market, and once we're out, we won't see them again!" Li Yang said softly.

  There were not a few security guards in the market, and there was also an unspoken rule that the stone sellers and players jointly followed. These three people, even if they had grievances, did not dare to do anything to Li Yang here, otherwise whether they could leave this gate today would be unknown.

  "Li Yang, how does it look if we cut from here?"

  Zheng Kaida is back. He didn't tell Li Yang about calling bodyguards. These people just have hostile intentions and haven't done anything yet, so there's no need to tell Li Yang for now.

  "Alright!"

  Zheng Kaida still asked himself about the line he drew, Li Yang sighed in his heart, no matter how this stone was cut, it would all end up being a cross.

  "Alright, let's start from here!"

  Zheng Kaida set up the cutter and connected the power source, ready to start cutting. Before he even began, six or seven people had already gathered around, all of whom had run over after seeing someone unsealing a stone.

  Most people who watch jade in this market understand a little, and several people who saw the performance of this woolen cloth couldn't help but nod their heads. The possibility of winning such a gamble is very high, it's just that the head is small. However, if the ice species or higher-grade jadeite can be solved inside, it will probably become the Jade King of today's market.

  The Jade King was the most valuable jadeite unearthed that day. Yesterday's Jade King was naturally Li Yang, and the piece of jadeite worth over 60 million yuan was well-deserved. If it weren't for Li Yang, yesterday's Jade King would have been Sima Lin's. Usually, the Jade King is a piece of jadeite worth tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan, sometimes even just a few thousand. It's rare to see one worth over a million yuan, and sometimes not even once a month.

  This is also related to the market size. If placed in Yunnan, jade kings worth over one million are very common and can be seen at least once every few days.

  Several onlookers apparently recognized Li Yang and his group, and the murmurs grew louder. Yesterday, Li Yang and Sima Lin's consecutive big wins had become the most talked-about topic in the market. Especially Li Yang, who had gambled with a piece of waste material cut out by someone else, and only spent 10,000 yuan, yet managed to gamble out the largest Jade King that hadn't appeared in several months, was still being enthusiastically discussed by people in the market.

  "Hiss!"

  The cutting machine slowly moved downwards, Zheng Kaida's gambled stone was rectangular and not high, it was cut off from the middle after a few minutes, Zheng Kaida himself washed the cut surface clean, and immediately stood there.

  Both sides of the cut are black and there is nothing, obviously it was cut across.

  "Ah!"

  A crowd of over a dozen people had gathered, and as soon as they saw Zheng Kai Da, they all started discussing him. Some people even looked at him with sympathy, while a few others had a hint of schadenfreude in their expressions.

  For a jadeite like this with such good performance, it is absolutely rare to be cut into this shape. Otherwise, the seller would not dare to mark out a high price of 280,000 yuan. A jadeite that performs like this has at least a 90% chance of being cut into jade, but no one dares to guarantee the quality of the jade.

  This rare phenomenon actually encountered Zheng Kaida, can only say that he is very unlucky, and can also be said to be unlucky at home. Ninety percent of the gambled stones that could be cut into jade were actually cut into waste by him, and the most unfortunate one percent was occupied by him.

  "Old Zheng, look at this!"

  Simma was also speechless about this, he wanted to advise Zheng Kaida but didn't know what to say, this luck was too abnormal. He and Li Yang were both lucky yesterday, but as soon as they came to Zheng Kaida's place, it turned into bad luck. This kind of bad luck was something that Simma Lin had never encountered before either.
