Alicia reacted and said in shock, "Unbelievable, this is a fake! This is not a real boulder opal! "
Hearing the conversation between the three of them, the surrounding gem hunters rushed over. "What's going on?" "What fake?" "These opals are all fake?"
Someone picked up the gemstone that had fallen to the ground and held it up to the sunlight. Using a magnifying glass that he carried with him, he immediately said, "It's indeed fake. This is a fake opal!"
Another person took the layer of stone from Li Du's hands. He used a lighter to burn the glue layer. Suddenly, a pungent chemical rubber smell wafted out.
"F * ck!" Li Du bellowed with a livid expression.
There were still some people who did not understand the problem and asked doubtfully, "What the hell is going on?"
A gem hunter laughed coldly. "Are you f * cking stupid? Obviously, this is a man-made boulder opal. Stone and opal are glued together … "
"It's not an opal. The gemstone inside is also fake."
Now that things had come to this point, everyone understood what was going on.
A gem hunter was about to transfer money to Christopher when he realized that Li Du had picked up a fake. He quickly put away his phone and said, "F * ck, what the hell is going on?"
Everyone's gaze turned to Christopher and the rest. More than ten people surrounded him and glared at him angrily. "Christopher, what the hell is going on?"
These people were like Li Du, who had already transferred the money to Christopher.
Once Li Du and the rest discovered the fake, the gem hunters guessed the truth.
They had been in this industry for many years and were very clear about the trickery of this industry.
There were all kinds of gemstone scams in the national park. Often, people would pass off a fake as the real thing, pretend to find a gemstone, and then sell it at a high price to tourists.
There were also people who played it big and made fake boulder opals. After bringing them to the national park, they would scatter them in the ground, dig them up, and sell them at a lower price than the market price for a profit.
However, such scams were usually carried out against tourists and not gem hunters. Therefore, the gem hunters were not mentally prepared for the appearance of this scam and almost all of them fell for it.
As for the initiator of the scam, needless to say, everyone knew that it was Christopher and the rest.
Seeing that the crowd had discovered that the boulder opals in the ground were fake, Christopher and the rest panicked, especially Christopher, who was surrounded by the angry gem hunters. He was so frightened that he kept retreating.
The calm black man walked over and stopped the crowd. "What's going on? Hey, what's going on? "
One of the hunters hollered, "Don't play dumb, Stevenson, don't play dumb! You set up this scam. Damn it, you actually deceived your peers. Sooner or later, you will go to hell! "
Stevenson still looked calm. He said calmly, "What scam? Who are we kidding? Damn you, Old Deckard, speak clearly. "
At this moment, Christopher also reacted. He pretended to be confused and said, "What are you guys doing? I'm confused by you guys. "
Dick went up and pushed Christopher, saying angrily, "Are you confused? Then let me remind you, these boulder opals are all fake! "
Christopher looked shocked and cried out, "What did you say? These boulder opals were all fake? Impossible, this is impossible! "
One of the gem hunters said coldly, "Stop acting. Do you take us for fools? Give us our money back! "
"B * stard, you actually deceived your own people. D * mn it, I will not let you off. Give us back our money!"
"Give us our money back, or else you guys will be in deep trouble today!"
Stevenson raised his hand and said, "Calm down, guys. Everyone calm down. There's no point in arguing! Listen to me, what do you guys mean? What do you mean these are all fake? "
"These boulder opals are all fake! You guys threw them in the ground to deceive us! "
Stevenson laughed. "Stop joking. Of course, this is pretty funny. Are you guys jealous of us? We are not the only ones who dug up gemstones here. That Chinese guy sold them to Owen — "
"I did not sell a single boulder opal to Owen! I swear to God, if I say anything wrong, let my whole family go to hell! Let me go to hell right now! "Li Du interrupted him.
You still want to drag me down with you? I'm not going to play with you!
After saying this, he took out his cell phone and called Owen. He put the phone on speaker. "Owen, my buddy. Good afternoon."
"Good afternoon, Li, my good buddy. Is there anything I can help you with?" Owen's forthright voice rang out.
The gem hunters nodded. "This is Owen."
Li Du said, "There's really one thing. I don't know who spread the news that I sold you a bunch of boulder opals. For God's sake, don't tell me you spread it. "
Owen laughed. "Are you kidding me? Why would I spread such ridiculous news? But did you find more boulder opals? "
"No, that's what someone said."
Owen was disappointed. "That's a pity. If you find boulder opals, remember to look for me. I'll give you a good price."
Li Du agreed and hung up the phone. He looked coldly at Stevenson and Christopher.
"This piece of land was indeed rented by me, but I have never found a single boulder opal here!" he said in a powerful voice.
Stevenson started to panic. He coughed and said, "Is that so? Then your luck is terrible. We found so many boulder opals — "
"Did you guys bring so many?" Li Du sneered.
Stevenson gave Christopher a look. Christopher pointed his shotgun at him and bellowed, "Hey, Chinaman, don't talk nonsense. Don't insult us —"
He stopped mid-sentence. Godzilla held a military shovel and Big Quinn held a pickaxe and stood beside Li Du. Christopher was so frightened that he quickly shut his mouth.
Stevenson picked up a boulder opal and said, "Everyone calm down. Don't think I don't know what you guys are trying to do. You guys want to take the opportunity to steal our gemstones! If anyone takes another step forward, I'll call the police! "
Not long after he said that, the sound of a police siren reached everyone's ears.
Stevenson looked at the wasteland road in shock and asked, "Who called the police?"
Li Du said, "You, didn't you say you wanted to call the police?"
Stevenson said angrily, "F * ck, I didn't call the police!"
The police car stopped there. Seeing them holding a shotgun and a military shovel, the two police officers became nervous. They took out their pistols and said, "Hey, squat on the ground, everyone! Put your hands where we can see them! "
Li Du was the first to squat down and obediently put his hands behind his head.
Sophie also wanted to squat down. In the end, one of the police officers was quite gentlemanly. He waved his hand and said, "Miss, you don't have to get involved. Obviously, you're not a suspect."
A group of gem hunters said, "F * ck you!"
