King of Gamblers: Growing from a Student to a Jade King

Chapter 47: Turning Against

Buzz buzz...

The roaring sound in my ears woke me from my sleep. I looked at Xiao Mi beside me, her back turned towards me. I gazed at the sunlight outside, reminiscing about last night's madness, which is still vividly fresh in my memory.

I looked at the phone, picked it up, and it was Fat Pig Zhu calling.

"You f*****g killed me, you bastard. Who told you to bring that b***h to the hotel..."

Fat Pig Zhu cursed me angrily, I chuckled and said, "She sent me, she's the eldest sister, I dare not disobey her."

"Really? Listening to her is killing me, damn it. Now I'm getting a divorce. Where the hell are you now?"Come over and see me.

Fat Pig Zhu's words carried an order. I said, "Let's talk when you've calmed down. I have things to do."

After I finished speaking, I hung up the phone. I watched Xiao Mi get up, she tossed her hair back and asked me, "How did it go?"

I held her face and said, "At least now he's getting a divorce. The next step is to bring him down, but right now we're in danger. I need to find Brother Guang; I need him to protect us."

As soon as I finished speaking, Brother Guang's call came in.

"Hey, Brother Guang..."

On the phone, Qian Guang's voice came through, saying, "The job is done. This morning, I heard from a friend that Fat Pig Zhu is getting a divorce. It's time to deal with him. What are you planning to do?"

I said, "Find Boss Wei, get a stone, a stone that can turn the fat pig Zhu over. I want to set a trap to make him lose everything."

I hung up the phone after I finished speaking, looked at the sun outside, and for the first time felt how warm it was. Xiao Mi hugged me from behind, and I felt the warmth of her gentle body. She said, "I'm waiting for your good news..."

After she finished speaking, she kissed me on the back. I turned to look at Xiao Mi. My relationship with her is very complicated; we use each other and both know it, but we are physically attached to each other. This kind of relationship makes me both love and hate it, and I can't let go. But I don't regret it; I don't feel guilty towards Xuan Ling. Everything I do is to get ahead, and nothing is more important than that.

I put on my clothes, looked at myself in the mirror, shaved off the stubble, cleaned up, and walked out of Xiaomi's dilapidated room. Today, leaving this place has a different meaning. I will come back with my status restored. As long as we take down Fat Pig Zhu, it will show everyone that Qian Guang and I are brothers. Anyone who touches me will be taken down.

I took a taxi and arrived at the Dachang Jadeite Gambling Shop. Qian Guang and the others were all waiting for me at the shop. When Boss Wei saw me coming, he came over to shake my hand and said, "Brother Zhao Fei, these past few days have been like a roller coaster, haven't they?"

I gave a bitter smile; it really was like a roller coaster. Boss Wei said, "The most painful time is when you have no control over your own life. If you could have been the banker in the first few rounds of stone gambling, you would be a millionaire by now."

I said, "What is meant to be will be, and what is owed to me will eventually be returned."

After saying this, I looked at Qian Guang. He came over and hugged me, saying, "Brother, I didn't misjudge you. From now on in Ruili, whoever touches you is touching me, Qian Guang."

I chuckled and said, "Let's deal with Fat Pig Zhu first."

Zhuzi said, "It's all set. Fat Pig Zhu has divorced his wife. Now he probably hates you to death. I sent out the news about you being here, and it should arrive in about an hour."

I smiled and said, "Then let's get started, Boss Wei. Help others to the end, deliver the Buddha to the West. Do you have any good materials?"

Boss Wei said, "I will never sell fake materials."

I know what Boss Wei means; he has always been helping me. Those few pieces of material all came from the public auction, meant to help me stand my ground in front of Fat Pig Zhu. So now, when it comes to delivering the final blow to Fat Pig Zhu, he has no reason not to help me. However, he is a businessman and doesn't want to sell fake materials, so in the end, how to bring down Fat Pig Zhu still depends on me.

I said, "Boss Wei, please show me the materials."

Boss Wei nodded and led us upstairs. I now need to pick a piece of material, one that can turn Fat Pig Zhu's fortunes around but also has the potential to bring him down. Such a piece is hard to find. Winning the gamble is difficult, but losing it is easy. However, this piece must have enough value to make Fat Pig Zhu go bankrupt trying to buy it.

I said, "Boss Wei, the materials outside are no good. Do you have any stock left?"

Boss Wei chuckled and said, "Yes, but I want to tell you, I want to sell genuine goods at a fair price. I don't want anyone outside saying I'm not honest."

I nodded. I knew what to do. Boss Wei asked us to wait for a moment, then he went into his office. I felt like his office was a treasure trove, not knowing how many top-quality materials were hidden inside.

Qian Laowu was scraping the skin off his fingers with a dagger, silent and brooding. This wasn't like him. Qian Guang also didn't say a word. There were only a few people around, and although the atmosphere seemed calm and uneventful, I couldn't shake the feeling that something was off.

At this moment, Boss Wei came out, followed by a few people carrying a pile of materials, both large and small. I went over to take a look at the materials.

"This is my last stock, it's all here, take a look..." Boss Wei said.

Looking at this batch of materials, it should be worth over a hundred million. Don't be fooled by it just being a pile of stones; when converted to money, it could be worth several hundred million.

I picked up a piece of black sand skin, which I fear the most, so I plan to gamble on black sand skin. This is a piece of Moxi sand material, with an overall brushed skin, segmented windows, and the windows show a slightly fine texture, not strong water head, slightly good luster, within the range of ink jade. The ink color in the window area is slightly better, but the gradient is obvious. With a good craftsmanship, the market value of a single piece is in

This piece of material is a sure bet, so I let it go.

I picked up another piece of material, not large, only about the size of a fist, but it has an irregular crescent shape. From the skin, it seems to be from the Mowanjie area, with a relatively shallow layer of brushed skin and half-gambling stone. The brushed area also has color; although the color is obvious, it is quite dry, the texture and water content are not strong, the structure is limited, the weathering is uneven, the artificial brushing is quite heavy

The chances of losing this gamble are extremely high. Although Fat Pig Zhu doesn't understand gambling with stones, I don't think he would be tempted by this piece either. I need to find a piece that would make his heart race. I have to plan this scheme meticulously, so I can't be careless.

I spent over half an hour picking through each piece very carefully, but I couldn't find the material I wanted. However, I didn't lose heart and continued to search.

Suddenly, I saw a piece of material with an opening, very beautiful, extremely beautiful. I hurriedly picked it up and examined it closely. The material is a type that can be used for carding, a piece of black sand, but slightly gray. From the texture, it seems to be suitable for mid-layer carding.

Overall, it is a semi-gambling stone with a window that is slightly off-center. Looking at the window, the jade has a slightly translucent appearance in some areas, the crystals are slightly fine, the water content is slightly good, the luster is slightly good, the cotton-like texture is slightly prominent, the melon skin green base is slightly blue, and it has a floating color label. There are no cracks or impurities. If the internal crystal quality is controllable, the market value of a single piece

There is a chance that the internal color perception is deep, but the risk of color gradient and variation around it is quite high. I carefully examined this stone and felt happy inside. Damn it, this is the kind of stone I've been looking for. If I win the bet, its value will be immense, but if I lose, it will be a total financial ruin.

I held the lamp and tapped the stone; it was very transparent, with thin skin. This is how materials that can be "gambled" are—if they come out with high color and you win the gamble, it's great. But it's very easy to cut out water bubbles. Last time, Boss Zeng was an example.

Seeing this piece of material, Boss Wei's face turned sour. He said, "Brother Zhao Fei, I fell for a piece of material that got stuck last time. This piece weighs over twenty kilograms. I just opened a window and saw that it has some colored inclusions, but I don't dare to cut it at all. If it turns out to be a dud, I'll lose millions."

I couldn't help but laugh when I heard that. I wasn't looking at this piece of material; it looks very similar to the previous one. They were probably both dug out from the same site, so the chances of getting water droplets when cutting it are extremely high. Therefore, I want this piece of material.

Everything was ready except for the people to take the plunge. Just then, I saw Fat Pig Zhu coming up, followed by a crowd of people—more than thirty, I estimated. As soon as he approached and saw me, he smiled and said, "Brother Zhao Fei, you're something else, still in the mood to play here? You damn bastard, you've made my life a living hell."

He was about to come over, but Qian Guang stood up, and the pillar behind him, along with Qian Lao Wu, came over to block Fei Zhu Zhu's path.

"What the hell? Damn it, you dare to block my way?" Fat Pig Zhu said angrily.

"Get out of the way, all of you get out of the way..." Shiqiang said, taking advantage of his power.

Qian Laowu kicked Shaqiang in the stomach and said, "Damn it, I used to give face to Qi Ye, but now you've divorced Qi Ye's daughter, and you're still so arrogant?"Fat Pig Zhu, take a piss and look in the mirror.

Fat Pig Zhu glared at Qian Guang, his expression unfriendly. He said, "Qian Guang, I used to rely on Seventh Master. I know that the people in the underworld give me face because of Seventh Master. But let me tell you, even though I’m divorced from Ma Lan now, believe it or not, I can still have wind and rain. You better not get in my way, or I won't let this go."

Qian Guang smiled, very gracefully, and said, "Zhao Fei and I are brothers. If anyone touches him, they're touching me. I'm giving Seventh Master face. If he doesn't want me to fight, I won't. Besides, this is Boss Wei's shop, and we have to give Boss Wei face. If there's anything, let's talk outside."

Fat Pig Zhu looked at Boss Wei, sneered, and said, "Alright, let's talk outside. I'll give Boss Wei some face."

I watched Fat Pig Zhu, and he wasn't as arrogant as before. Perhaps he knew that he no longer had Seventh Master protecting him.

Qian Guang chuckled and said, "You go wait outside, I need to gamble on some stones. Brother Zhao Fei, you've picked another stone. Fighting is a child's game; I think making money is more important..."

After Qian Guang finished speaking, he just sat down without even looking at Fat Pig Zhu. That kind of demeanor is truly admirable. As a man, one should be like Qian Guang—able to bend and stretch!
