Chapter 504: Chapter 504: Can Jade Grow Legs and Run on Its Own? Chapter 504: Chapter 504: Can Jade Grow Legs and Run on Its Own? At this time, Gu Cheng was no longer calm.
Frustrated and angry, he called for two more masters and brought in two cutting machines.
They spent a whole day cutting all the stones that had just been mined.
Still, there was nothing to be found,
It was truly bizarre.
Gu Cheng took another two days to mine two truckloads of stones from the mine.
He had the masters cut them on the spot.
Then, to their astonishment, they discovered that all the stones they had mined were just ordinary stones.
Not a single one contained jade.
The older masters went down to the mine, checked each stone, and unanimously concluded that these were all ordinary stones.
There were no more jade rough stones.
The oldest master suddenly remembered a legend about the jade mine.
It said jade also had a spirit and would choose its owner.
Was it because the new owner was not to their liking that they had disappeared?
Otherwise, how could one explain the current situation?
Of course, they did not say this in front of Gu Cheng and his son, but the rumor spread privately.
After Gu Jiansheng learned of this rumor, he told Gu Cheng, only to be scolded harshly by him.
Gu Cheng wasn’t superstitious.
He thought it was preposterous.
Could jade really grow legs and run away?
So, he invited several experienced masters and two exploration experts from Imperial Capital, along with the most advanced cutting machines and prospecting equipment, to Diannan.
Unfortunately, the situation was exactly the same as in the beginning.
Not a single piece of jade stone was found.
They were all common stones, not even as good as the granite above.
And the two experts once again confirmed this fact.
Within a five-mile radius of the jade mine, there were only ordinary stones.
It was at this point that Gu Cheng finally came to terms with a harsh reality.
The jade mine they had bought for fifty million was a spent mine.
Gu Cheng was stunned…
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
It was already the end of August.
Ning Wanru, who had been anxiously waiting for news, let go of the phone in a state of collapse.
She sat on the sofa with a pale face.
Only then did she realize that they had been schemed against by that old man.
The jade mine had no more jade.
And the last three truckloads of gemstones had been taken back to the Imperial Capital by the Old Patriarch.
She didn’t get a single one.
Because by that time, the transaction had already been completed.
And it had already been made clear that those three truckloads of gemstones were not included.
Otherwise, he would have sold the jade mine to someone else.
She had agreed out of eagerness to get the jade mine, but she never expected it to be a trap.
She naively jumped in with fifty million.
What should she do now?
Fifty million just disappeared, and there was still Elder Lin’s ten million, how was she to explain to him?
And as she was in turmoil, Tian Sanxian came to her doorstep.
Because of a counterfeit, his Tian Family’s antique shop was about to close down.
Tian Sanxian was thinking ahead.
Because these days, she had actually been very worried.
When she suffered the backlash, she knew the Curse of Extinction had been discovered.
Gu Qingfeng was not a fool.
His recent attitude towards Ning Wanru and Gu Cheng would tell anyone that the Old Patriarch wanted to completely sever ties with them.
And the position of the Gu Family’s successor was given to Qiaoqiao.
All of this proved that Gu Qingfeng was suspicious of Ning Wanru.
So, if he suspected Ning Wanru, he would naturally wonder who had planted the talisman.
North Third Gate, the Tian Family was very proficient with talismans.
