As soon as he said that, the entire place fell silent. Everyone was stunned as they looked at Ye Chen in disbelief.
Everyone in the know knew that Fifth Master Liu was just mocking him.
However, he turned the tables on Fifth Master Liu.
He even said something like gambling with money or life.
Even Third Master Gu and Gu Yingying were stunned. They were clearly shocked by Ye Chen's action.
"It seems like our Master Ye is extraordinary indeed." Liu Chuang's expression was uncertain. He then said after a scoff, "Sure, I'll play with you."
Ye Chen lit a cigarette on his own. As the smoke lingered in the air, he said coldly, "There's 100 million in this card. If you're gambling, I'll bet 50 million each round. Of course, you can bet your life if you want."
The crowd gasped as soon as he said that.
The crowd was in an uproar. Disbelief filled their eyes when they looked at Ye Chen. Never had they thought that he would go so far.
One must know that even a boss like Third Master Gu would only pay 10 million yuan per round. After all, 10 million yuan per round would be 100 million yuan per round. However, Ye Chen increased the price by five times as soon as he spoke. How could they not be shocked?
Third Master Gu took a good look at Ye Chen. At that moment, he realized that he could not understand Ye Chen anymore. However, Ye Chen's courage alone made him look at him in a different light.
Surprise flashed through Hong Jindou's face. He was betting so much. Was he rich or did he have something to rely on?
"What do you think?" Ye Chen ignored the people's expression and looked at Liu Chuang coldly.
Liu Chuang's cheeks twitched and he said with a fake smile, "Sure, 50 million each!"
'Brat, I have no idea where you got the courage to bet with me!
But I've never been afraid of anyone. If you lose and don't have that much money, even Third Master Gu won't be able to save you! '
"Master Ye, you …" Gu Yingying could not help but speak. She really wanted to talk Ye Chen out of it.
Ye Chen said coldly, "Don't worry about it!"
Hong Jindou coughed and said, "So, who's going to pick the raw stones first?"
"I don't care." Ye Chen shrugged.
Countless people secretly exclaimed. Putting aside whether Ye Chen was faking it or not, his bearing alone was much more powerful than Third Master Gu.
"Alright, I'll go first!"
Liu Chuang smiled sinisterly. Then, he walked to the pile of raw stones and began to choose. Finally, he pointed at the largest stone and said, "I'll choose this one."
He turned his head to look at Ye Chen and said while smiling, "Master, it's your turn. Watch carefully. Gu Laosan is waiting for you to avenge him."
He emphasized the word 'master'. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was disdainful toward Ye Chen.
Ye Chen smiled lightly and took two steps forward to the pile of raw stones. He picked a stone the size of an adult's palm without even thinking about it.
The crowd could not help but shake their heads.
He had thought that he was someone who knew the ropes, but it seemed that he was just a guy who knew nothing.
After all, the stone that Liu Chuang had chosen was too big. If both of them had green at the same time, naturally, the bigger stone would have more green, and it would be easier to cut.
Liu Chuang sneered.
He was definitely going to win this round!
Ye Chen glanced at the price tag of 800 yuan on the raw stone. He turned his head to look at Gu Yingying after realizing that he did not bring any cash with him. "Can you lend me 1,000 yuan?"
The crowd was speechless as soon as he was done speaking.
They almost fell onto the ground. Subsequently, they laughed out loud at the same time.
'What a joke.
He's just a dumbass. '
Gu Yingying was stunned. Meanwhile, Third Master Gu, who was standing aside, turned pale. The good impression that he had for Ye Chen that he finally had vanished completely.
Before Gu Yingying could speak, Liu Chuang scoffed, "1,000 yuan, am I right? I'll give you 5,000 yuan directly. Take the rest as my charity to you. I hope that you'll get jade. "
He took out 5,000 yuan and tossed it onto the ground as he was speaking.
"Don't worry. I'll return it to you."
Ye Chen did not pick it up. Instead, he said to Hong Jindou, "Boss Hong, deduct 800 yuan from it. Please give the rest to Boss Liu."
Hong Jindou forced a smile.
Subsequently, the staff placed both of their raw stones before the cutting machine. At that moment, Ye Chen's raw stone was a stark contrast to Liu Chuang's.
Before the stone cutter could speak, Liu Chuang said to him immediately, "Just like before, polish it first."
A while later, the stone cutter said while wiping his sweat, "I'm sorry, Fifth Master. It's collapsed."
Liu Chuang waved in disapproval and said to Ye Chen with a wry smile, "You're quite lucky."
The people shook their heads by instinct.
Since even Fifth Master Liu's had collapsed, Ye Chen's tiny stone would not be any better.
"Little brother, how do you want to cut it?" the stone cutter asked listlessly. Clearly, even he did not have high hopes.
Ye Chen picked up a piece of chalk from the ground and drew a circle on the raw stone. He then said to the stone cutter, "Follow my mark. Polish it first before polishing it."
The people could not help but scoff upon seeing how serious he looked. Liu Chuang even chuckled out loud.
The stone cutter nodded impatiently and proceeded to dissect the stone. Liu Chuang did not even look at it and walked directly to Third Master Gu. "Third Master Gu, shouldn't you give me the card now?"
"There's 10 million in here. Take it first. I'll get the finance department to transfer the remaining 65 million to you when I get back." Third Master Gu tossed the bank card to him and turned around to walk to the door with Gu Yingying.
Meanwhile, he did not care about Ye Chen anymore.
Gu Yingying stopped walking and looked at the crowd. She said while frowning, "Third Uncle, Master Ye is still inside. Let's wait for him."
"What kind of bullsh * t master is that?!"
"Let's go. Let's go. I can't afford to embarrass myself like this," Third Master Gu said angrily and was about to leave with a grim expression.
Suddenly, a scream came from the crowd, "It's green! It's green!"
"It's ice red jade!"
At that moment, the driver, Xiaozhang, ran over in excitement. He stammered to Third Master Gu, "It's green! It's green! Third Master is green!"
"Damn it. Explain yourself. What do you mean I'm green?" Third Master Gu slapped him. Those who did not know would think that his wife had made him green.
Xiaozhang paused and said, "Third Master, there's green in Master Ye's raw stone. On top of that … it's ice red jade!"
"What?"
Third Master Gu exclaimed and turned around to rush into the crowd immediately. He saw the stone cutting master lift the saw blade and said in disbelief, "Red jade … It's really ice red jade …"
Meanwhile, there was a red stone the size of a duck egg in his hand. It was blood-red as if he had been injected with chicken blood. The color was monotonous, there were no other colors at all.
"It's really ice red jade. He can tell from such a small stone. Isn't he too lucky?"
"It seems like this little brother is really capable."
"This red jade alone can at least make a bracelet. The rest can at least be carved into a few pendants. He got it for 800 yuan. He's rich now."
"Why would he want a bracelet? He might as well make a bead curtain. If I'm not mistaken, it'll cost more than five million yuan! "
"…"
The people chimed in one after another. They were shocked. They had been here many times, but they had never seen anyone get an ice red jade.
"Hahaha, Liu, are you an idiot now?" Third Master Gu could not help but laugh out loud as if he was the one who got it.
Liu Chuang looked terrible as if he had eaten sh * t. Never had he thought that a stupid stone would have an extremely rare ice red jade.
At that moment, Ye Chen borrowed 10,000 yuan from Gu Yingying. He walked to Liu Chuang one step after another and threw 10,000 yuan at his face directly.
