Shao Gang had a brief chat with the man in the mask in the car before stepping out.
At this moment, Chu Ge, who just came out of the elevator, saw this scene, and instinctively dodged to the side. Although it was just a moment, he clearly saw who was sitting in the car.
It was the man with the blood-red eyes behind the mask.
Chu Ge watched Shao Gang sneak towards another car and squinted his eyes slightly. Did the two of them know each other?
After both of them had left, Chu Ge took out his phone and called Lin Dong.
At this time, Lin Dong was at the underground gambling stone field. Upon receiving the call from Chu Ge, he rushed out of the gambling stone field and while telling about his life at the gambling stone field, Chu Ge said he would come to visit him.
Chu Ge arrived at the gambling stone field. The gambling stone field in the Capital City was much larger than those in Shanghai or Su City, and it was also very standardized.
Everyone entering had to go through a series of screening processes.
"Mr. Chu, are you here to gamble on stones?" Lin Dong asked curiously.
Chu Ge shook his head gently, "I’m just curious to have a look."
Who knows, I might stumble upon a piece of crystal jade.
Upon entering the gambling stone field, Chu Ge was startled by the crowd and curiously asked, "Why are there so many people here?"
Lin Dong nodded and began to introduce the rules of the gambling stone field to Chu Ge, "Mr. Chu, our gambling stone field in the Capital City is different from others. Here, if we correctly guess the jade, we can take it away for free."
That’s also why this gambling stone field was so crowded.
Hearing this, Chu Ge grew curious, "If that’s the case, wouldn’t the owner of this gambling stone field be losing a fortune?"
Lin Dong chuckled mysteriously and winked at Chu Ge, "Mr. Chu, you will understand soon."
The gambling stone field was divided into several large halls. Lin Dong took Chu Ge through several turns and brought him to a spacious hall with fewer people. He explained, "Mr. Chu, this is the best place in the gambling stone field to obtain fine jade. Of course, if you guess wrong, you might lose everything you have."
Chu Ge frowned slightly, not quite understanding.
Lin Dong explained, "In this gambling stone field, although there is a rule that if you guess correctly, you can take the jade for free, the stones are graded differently. The halls we just passed through are common ones, where the chances of getting jade are minimal. Conversely, the jade stones obtained in this hall account for more than seventy percent of the total."
Lin Dong, licking his lips with a smile, said, "Of course, I know that Mr. Chu is well-versed in jade and money is not an issue for you, so I took the liberty of bringing you here. Rest assured, any jade opened here is top-grade, definitely no defects."
Lin Dong was right in his confidence of obtaining good jade, and money was not an issue for him, so he said no more and stepped forward, instantly attracted by a noisy argument nearby.
"Yo, isn’t that the Third Young Master Nangong? How come, the Third Young Master Nangong isn’t studying business at home and has come to the gambling stone field instead?"
A mocking voice rang out.
Chu Ge saw a man in a white suit walking up to a boy who appeared to be only seventeen or eighteen years old. The man in the white suit looked somewhat familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before, but he couldn’t remember immediately.
Beside him, Lin Dong, glancing sideways, quietly introduced to Chu Ge, "The man in white clothes is Yuwen Kangli, the first in line heir of the Yuwen Family. The boy opposite him is the Third Young Master Nangong, Nangong Yunrao, the second son of Old Master Nangong. He just came of age this year."
Chu Ge nodded in realization. He thought the man in white clothes looked familiar; it turned out to be Yuwen Kangli.
Unaware of the change in Chu Ge’s expression, Lin Dong continued, "Yuwen Kangli wasn’t initially the first in line heir of the Yuwen Family. He had an older brother, but the brother fell into a strange illness and has been in a coma for over a decade and still hasn’t awakened. Thus, to save face, the Yuwen Family publicly claims Yuwen Kangli as the first in line heir."
Lin Dong clucked his tongue and shook his head as if in pity, "This Yuwen Kangli, ever since becoming the heir, has become arrogant, bullying others everywhere, even openly confronting the Nangong Family. Although the two families regard his actions as childish, in the past few years, especially recently, he has become increasingly rampant, almost crippling Young Master Nangong several times."
This was something Chu Ge knew since he once saved Nangong Yunhai in an underground parking lot.
"But speaking of which, this Yuwen Kangli really has some skills. Every piece of jade he has opened has been top-quality, as if he has x-ray vision, guessing right every time."
This was something Lin Dong truly admired.
Chu Ge frowned, as so-called gambling on stones didn’t involve much skill, it was mostly luck.
Although he himself, with some knowledge of ancient martial arts and True Qi, could discern the quality of jade stones and hence guess accurately.
To be precise, it was testing; testing accurately every time.
However, he had never detected any trace of Ancient Martial Arts on Yuwen Kangli and had ruled out the possibility of him using True Qi to test.
If what Lin Dong said was true, and he was indeed guessing accurately every time, then there was only one possibility left—it was cheating.
Chu Ge thought to himself as the confrontation between Yuwen Kangli and Nangong Yunrao escalated.
Nangong Yunrao had disliked Yuwen Kangli from the start, and seeing him provocatively approaching, naturally couldn’t swallow his pride.
"Nangong Yunrao, do you know how to gamble on stones?" Yuwen Kangli disdainfully said.
Nangong Yunrao snorted lightly, disdainfully responding, "Don’t think you’re the only one who knows how to gamble on stones, I know too."
"Ha ha," Yuwen Kangli laughed and scornfully said, "Since you also know how to gamble on stones, why don’t we have a competition, what do you say?"
Nangong Yunrao looked at him warily, "What exactly are you trying to do?"
Yuwen Kangli, seeing his caution, disdainfully shook his head, he sighed regrettably, "Nangong Yunrao, why be so cautious? Are you afraid that I’ll eat you up? Or are you just scared of losing to me, afraid of being embarrassed?"
