C6 Digging a Trap

I touched my face. I would blame Zeng Hong for the slap that Boss Zeng gave me, because it was for him.

I looked at Xuan Ling running towards me from a distance, and I wanted to leave. I don’t know why, but I hate her and feel that she would be annoying.

“Zhao Fei, what’s wrong with your face?”

I turned around and looked at Xuan Ling, and I said, “It’s okay, it’s okay.”

“Did they hit you? That’s too much. I’ll call the police for you.” Xuan Ling said while holding the phone.

I was very angry, and I said, “Call the police? What’s the use? They just slapped me. Will the police let me hit them back? Just save your energy, okay?”

I was about to leave after I finished speaking, and Xuan Ling caught up with me. She said, “I’m sorry, are you very angry? Tell me if you have any unpleasant things, I can enlighten you.”

I looked at Xuan Ling and said, “Thank you, I don’t need you to enlighten me, I have something else to do, can you please not waste my time?”

“I still have classes today…” Xuan Ling said.

"What kind of classes are you taking? Why do you have no money to take classes? Will the school let me take classes if I don't pay the tuition? Can I survive without money? Can I have friends without money? Without money, I have nothing, do you understand? I have to go make money now, can you not delay me?" I said.

Xuan Ling looked at my fierce look and lowered her head. I felt that she was very wronged. I was a little annoyed and kicked the tree hard. I said, "I'm sorry, I know you care about me, but, but I really don't need your care, really."

After I said that, I turned around and left. Xuan Ling shouted at me: "We can be friends even if we don't have money."

I listened and felt that Xuan Ling was a little ridiculous. I didn't know whether she was really kind or just playing the good girl game with me. I didn't believe it. Since I knew Zeng Hong's true face, I no longer believed in women.

I bought a high-speed train ticket and went directly to Ruili. This time I wanted to bet a little bigger, all five thousand yuan. My face was still burning. Although I was not convinced, I had to endure it.

When I arrived in Ruili, I went directly to Dachang Gambling Stone Shop. This shop is very big, there are many people gambling on stones, and the goods are also complete, with all kinds of venues, so the chances of winning are very high.

But I know that nine out of ten people lose, and few people can win.

As soon as I arrived at the raw stone area, I saw a fat man yelling at the people around him. He cursed and slapped the other person, but the person who was beaten still lowered his head and dared not speak. It was the fat man Qian Laowu, who was really fierce.

"What are you looking at? Damn, it's you again, you stinky boy, believe it or not, I will beat you too?"

I turned my head away, not wanting to have any intersection with Qian Laowu. The five brothers of the Tian family each have a dark history, and Qian Laowu is the same. When I was in high school, I heard that Qian Laowu stabbed someone and was sentenced to three years, so this kind of person is very scary, it's better to stay away from him.

"Little brother, are you here to play again?"

I looked up and saw Qian Guang. He smiled at me and acted very friendly. I was stunned for a moment and felt very strange. Why would this legendary figure in the underworld say hello to me and be so polite to me? I really couldn't figure it out. I nodded and turned away. I really didn't want to have any intersection with Qian Guang. I walked to some larger rough stone storage areas and prepared to pick some large stones. Gambling on stones still has to be big. If the stone I gambled on last time was heavier, then I would make more than just 10,000 yuan.

"Little brother, is there a misunderstanding between us?"

I looked at the person who was talking, it was still Qian Guang. He stood beside me and reached out to take a rough stone. He didn't look at me, but his face became very ugly. I was a little scared because he was really mixed up in society. If I made him angry, I knew that the end would not be good.

I shook my head, and he suddenly looked at me and asked me: "Why don't you even answer me when I talk to you? If there is no misunderstanding between us, then you look down on me? Is that right?"

I hurriedly said: "No, I don't look down on you."

Qian Guang stared at me, biting the muscles on his face a few times, and said: "Little brother, that means you don't know how to behave. When someone talks to you, you should at least answer them straight in the eyes, otherwise, others will think you look down on them. I am a kind person. If you meet someone like Lao Wu, you will definitely lose something when you go out."

Qian Guang's words made me a little scared. I said: "I know you, you are from Ruili Dao, I heard about you when I was in school, but why do you want to be brothers with me? I, I am just an ordinary person."

"Brother, it depends on fate and temperament. You are a person who suits my taste, so I want to meet you." Qian Guang said.

I looked around. There are so many people here, and I am the only one who suits his taste? It was clearly nonsense. I didn't know what Qian Guang's purpose was, but I really didn't intend to play with him. I turned around and left. Qian Guang didn't follow me. I looked back and he just stared at me. I was a little scared, but I believed that he didn't dare to hit me in front of so many people.

I walked around the raw stone area. With 5,000 yuan, I could only buy the ones without windows. This kind of gambling stone is still very risky, basically 50-50. If you have money, you can still buy the ones with windows. At least there is a hole. I can know the situation of the meat inside. I can make a big bet and win.

I stood in front of the yellow sand skin material and reached out to pick up a piece of raw stone. As the name suggests, the yellow sand skin material has a yellow skin, like yellow sand.

The skin is the skin wrapped around the outside of the jade, which is formed after a long period of weathering. The skin of the raw stones shipped from each field is different. The most common ones are yellow sand skin, white sand skin and black sand skin. Therefore, when choosing a gambling stone field, you have to look at the color of the skin first.

I threw away the stone in my hand. The skin of this stone is not good. The gravel feels not very prickly. The skin feels not very tight, like it is very soft. This kind of material is called loose skin in the industry. Even if there is jade in it, the water quality will not be very good, and there will be cotton and cracks.

Cotton is a white spot like cotton, which is a defect, and cracks are cracks. Generally, no one wants materials with cracks.

To bet on yellow sand skin materials, you have to bet on fine skin. I picked them up in the raw stone area. These materials are five or six kilograms, and the price is more than 5,000 to more than 10,000. They are sold by weight. I turned it over and saw a stone at the bottom. It was not very big, about the size of two fists. I picked it up and weighed it. It was more than four kilograms. This stone is very attractive. Just looking at the surface, the gravel feels very tight. When I touch it with my hand, it feels smooth. I took a strong light and shone it inside. When I shone it, my heart tightened and it was half transparent.

This material is good. Judging from the sandy texture and the color of the skin, it should be the second-level material of Nanqi. Nanqi is a small factory, but it has also produced a lot of good materials. Generally, Nanqi's materials will produce glutinous ice-type materials. Although it is only the fourth-level material, if it is a full material and can be made into a bracelet, this piece of material can be sold for at least 50,000 to 100,000. If it is better and the water head of the bottom sheet is more transparent, 200,000 is possible.

I immediately took the stone to the counter to settle the bill. When I got to the counter, I gave the stone to the boss. The boss put it on the scale and weighed it. It was four and a half pounds. The boss said to me: "Nanqi's material is five thousand per pound. You can count this material as twenty thousand."

When I heard twenty thousand, I felt a little anxious. I only had five thousand in my pocket. It was four times more expensive. I said: "Boss, Nanqi's material is not a rare field. It doesn't need to be so expensive, right?"

The boss smiled and said: "Myanmar is at war, and the price of materials has increased. I think this material is good. If you don't want it, I'll keep it for someone else."

I was anxious when I heard it. I was very accurate in my judgment of this material. At least I won't lose money. But it's useless without money in my pocket. Now I really regret not having enough money when I need it.

"Little brother, are you short of money? I can lend you some."

When I was most anxious, Qian Guang came over and talked to me. He said he wanted to lend me money. Although I was in a hurry to use the money, I was not so anxious that I asked, "Do you want interest?"

"Five percent interest..." Qian Guang said lightly.

I trembled when I heard it. Five percent interest? It's much more expensive than the bank. Moreover, he is a gangster. If I borrow his money, if I lose, I will be doomed.

I shook my head and refused, but Qian Guang didn't get angry. Instead, he said, "Have you chosen this material?"

I nodded when I heard him ask this. I said, "I will definitely not lose money..."

Qian Guang took the material in his hand and said, "Let's form a joint venture and divide the money according to the shares."

After I heard it, I was moved. If we form a joint venture, I don't have to take 20,000 yuan, and I can gamble once, and even if I lose the bet, I don't have to bear it alone.

I said, "I'll pay 5,000."

Qian Guang smiled, took out a card and gave it to the boss, saying, "I'll pay 15,000..."

The boss took our money and quickly wrote us a bill. There weren't many people in the gambling stone shop today, so we didn't have to queue up. It was soon our turn to cut the stone.

I handed the stone to the master and said, "Master, open a window on the top for me."

The master who cut the stone didn't say anything. He took the drill bit, installed a probe on it, and then pressed the switch against the top edge of the stone. After a second, I watched the drill bit open a circular hole with a diameter of one centimeter and a depth of five inches in the stone's skin.

After the drill was taken off, the master took a look and said to me: "What a pity, the base of glutinous ice does not have enough water. It is estimated that it is translucent and colorless after cutting. There may be a light yellow-brown color in some parts, but it is at most an ordinary ice-based glutinous material. It can be made into small and medium-sized bracelets, but the quality is a gamble."

The master's words hit me head-on. Although I estimated very accurately that this piece of material is a glutinous ice base, I didn't expect the water head to be so poor. If it is sold, this piece of material can break even.

I looked at Qian Guang and said: "The material is now breaking even, but if we beat the skin, maybe the water inside will be better. Nanqi's material is yellow and green. If the color inside changes and it becomes a three-color, this piece of material can be made into a bracelet. Two hundred thousand is no problem. Do you dare to bet?"

I really hope Qian Guang will continue to bet with me. Of course, I want to win big with a small investment, but whether he will believe me is a very important question. After all, we don't know each other at all.
