The last gambling on stones, I chose to go to the shop on the first day, feeling uneasy.
"Brother, I heard yesterday that the shop we visited before has new stones. I want to go there and take a look. Maybe we'll have a big gain." I pointed to the familiar shop and suggested.
"Sure, wherever A Yun says to go, we'll go. Your intuition is so sharp." He had no objections at all.
The boss warmly invited us in as usual.
However, as soon as we approached the pile of raw stones, someone hit us on the neck with a club, and we passed out completely.
I woke up with cold tea splashed on me. Ning Wen Yuan and I were tightly bound together, surrounded by unfamiliar furnishings.
The person standing in front of us was Mr. Xue.
He smiled and said to us, "Long time no see, the good luck of the two little bosses has spread throughout the Jade Street. It's truly renowned."
"What do you want?" Ning Wen Yuan was the first to ask.
Mr. Xue looked at us for a while, clapped his hands, and leisurely said, "Nothing much, I just want this little Boss Ning to help me gamble on some stones. Little Boss Ning's skill in identifying ice jade with green veins was truly impressive!"
"What if I refuse?" I asked.
"I'm not a devil. As long as Little Boss Ning helps me win a billion today, both of you will be my friends. If you fail, Little Boss Ning will have to suffer a bit." After he finished speaking, he pressed the button on the armrest, and after a moment, the door opened, and a muscular man carrying an axe walked into the room.
He placed the axe on Ning Wen Yuan's knee.
"Ah Yun, you..." Ning Wen Yuan's words were interrupted.
I interrupted him, saying, "I'll help you gamble, as long as you don't harm my brother."
"The two little bosses have a deep bond. Come, release Little Boss Ning." His smile seemed gentle and warm, but I felt a deeper meaning behind it.
Soon, someone untied the ropes for me.
Mr. Xue stood up and made a gesture of invitation to me, saying, "Please."
I walked towards Mr. Xue expressionlessly, but was stopped a meter away.
"Mr. Xue, I can help you win two billion."
"Oh? What is this, Little Boss Ning?" He raised his eyebrows in confusion.
"I hope Mr. Xue can do me a favor. For every 50 million I win, I want you to sever one tendon in my brother Ning Wen Yuan's limbs. I'll buy his limbs for two billion."
My casual and decisive tone made even Mr. Xue, who was experienced, unable to maintain his smile.
But he was shrewd after all, and quickly adjusted himself, saying, "That's not a problem, but Little Boss Ning, can you really do it?"
I activated my perspective vision and scanned these raw stones that had been carefully selected by the stone appraisers under Mr. Xue's command. Just the larger ones could yield four billion.
Without looking at Mr. Xue anymore, I turned my back to him and said, "Add another two billion. I want to buy his eyes."
