    Chapter 49: Gambling on Stones!

    “Who are you looking down on?”

    Jiang Tiancheng rolled his eyes at Kong Fuwen, then nudged Shen Fei.

    “Got any reliable info?”

    Shen Fei slightly nodded without speaking.

    Earlier, Shen Fei hadn’t let Da Qian buy any of the stones because he knew those stones, even if they appreciated, wouldn’t appreciate much. They wouldn’t solve Da Qian’s urgent financial problem.

    That’s why he had been waiting to call for Da Qian to take action.

    But this Stone No. 19, in Shen Fei’s previous life, was bought by a newcomer just to join the fun. It turned out to be a high-quality jade stone!

    In the end, it sold for as much as 1.9 million!

    It was a huge profit!

    “Yeah, I am looking down on you! What about it? Coward!”

    Seeing Jiang Tiancheng not respond, Kong Fuwen sneered.

    Jiang Tiancheng, after Shen Fei’s firm nod, retorted, “I don’t need those two million! I don’t want to take advantage of some woman! Two million is just two million! What are you going to do, dog?”

    “Alright! You’re capable! Better than your father!” Kong Fuwen loudly replied.

    “Damn! Can you speak properly?” Jiang Tiancheng angrily responded.

    “Hmph, not talking nonsense with you! Let’s see the stones!”

    Kong Fuwen turned his head away.

    But at this moment, Da Qian started to feel scared.

    That 150,000 was all he had left!

    If it’s gone, not only would his father be angry, but even he would probably face serious consequences.

    “Uh, I, I…”

    Da Qian was at a loss for words.

    “If you’re too scared to take it, sell it to me!” Seeing Da Qian hesitate, Jiang Tiancheng quickly said.

    But Shen Fei disagreed and stepped forward to stop Jiang Tiancheng.

    “Mr. Jiang, intercepting halfway is not right!”

    “I’m just seeing him back out!” Jiang Tiancheng whispered.

    Shen Fei turned to Da Qian and looked at him firmly.

    “Da Qian, are you scared?”

    There was no point in saying more. If Da Qian really didn’t want to go ahead, Shen Fei couldn’t force him.

    “Shen Fei, though I don’t have much money, it’s all life-saving money…”

    Da Qian hesitated, swallowing nervously.

    “Yeah, I understand! But trust me just this once!” Shen Fei calmly said.

    Seemingly infected by the confidence in Shen Fei’s eyes, Da Qian took a deep breath.

    Then, biting his lip, he tried to stay calm.

    “Alright! I’ll go all in today!”

    As soon as he said that, everyone eagerly looked at the stone cutting stage.

    The stone cutter slowly walked up and examined the stone for a long time before asking softly, “How do you want me to cut this stone?”

    Before Da Qian could speak, Shen Fei quickly said, “Just cut one slice from the side first!”

    Hearing this, Da Qian clenched his fists and nodded, his eyes full of conflicting emotions as he stared at the stone.

    With his mind set, he thought, “If it’s all gone, then so be it.” With this thought, Da Qian started to calm down a little.

    The cutting machine started, and as the cut went down, the stone cutter began to get excited.

    “This… it actually has quality!”

    A blue-green light appeared from the stone.

    Immediately, the onlookers became excited.

    “It’s out! It’s out! Top-quality old blue water jade!”

    This shout caused an uproar among the crowd, except for Shen Fei, because it was just a small water stone.

    “Damn, didn’t expect this could really be cut out!”

    “Bought for 150,000, it’ll definitely be worth over a million when resold!”

    “Impressive, this old blue water jade is a first today!”

    The crowd began discussing eagerly.

    Jiang Tiancheng and Hu Yuantai stood frozen.

    If everything that had happened earlier could be attributed to Shen Fei’s sixth sense, could this also be attributed to Shen Fei’s sixth sense?

    Can his sixth sense actually see what material is hidden inside the stone?

    “Hello, sir, can I buy this stone for 1.2 million?”

    A plump man hurried over to Da Qian.

    However, Da Qian was still in a daze, his eyes unfocused.

    He hadn’t fully processed that the stone was cut into jade yet.

    He had already prepared for the worst, to lose everything!

    But now it had produced a high-quality jade, worth millions!

    It was all too surreal.

    “Sir? Sir!” The man shouted when Da Qian didn’t respond for a while.

    “Huh?”

    Da Qian turned around, looking at the man in confusion.

    “1.2 million, I’ll take the stone!”

    The man repeated.

    1.2 million?

    Not only could he pay off his high-interest loan, but even his father’s medical bills, his coffin costs, and his own burial expenses could be covered!

    At this moment, Shen Fei spoke up.

    “1.2 million? That’s a bit too low!”

    “Low? Even if I buy it, I’m still gambling! What if only this one stone is good?”

    The man was displeased.

    “With the quality of this stone, do you really think it’s just a single face?”

    Shen Fei raised an eyebrow and confidently gave a price.

    “Two million! Take it or leave it! Plenty of people want it!”

    “You’re just raising the price! This stone was bought for 150,000!”

    The owner almost agreed to sell to the man before this.

    But now, someone else came along to interfere!

    The man looked at Da Qian, “1.2 million, will you sell?”

    Hearing this, Da Qian pointed at Shen Fei, saying honestly, “I’ll follow what he says!”

    At this point, Jiang Tiancheng also joined in, playing along.

    “Are you going to buy or not? Looking at this stone, the quality is obviously great! If not, I’ll take it!”

    “…”

    The man frowned, glancing at Jiang Tiancheng and Shen Fei, then at the stone on the stage. He gritted his teeth and said,

    “Fine! Two million, I’ll buy it! Give me an account! I’ll transfer the money now!”

    Seeing the text message come through, Da Qian’s heart surged with joy.

    He rubbed his eyes in disbelief, full of excitement, looking at Shen Fei with tears in his eyes.

    “Shen Fei, I can’t repay this kindness! Once my father is better, I’ll work for you!”

    “Don’t mention it! I was just lucky! Go to the hospital quickly now!”

    Shen Fei patted Da Qian’s shoulder and continued,

    “By the way, pay off the loan quickly! Don’t gamble anymore!”

    Da Qian wiped his tears and nodded forcefully before leaving.

    “Kong Fuwen, when are you going to transfer the money to me?”

    Jiang Tiancheng looked at Kong Fuwen with a mocking smile.

    Kong Fuwen looked displeased and darkened his face.

    “Two million, that’s nothing! It’s not like I can’t afford it!”

    He then looked at Shen Fei with a cold, malicious gaze and mocked,

    “Didn’t expect that a gambler like you could have such luck! You’ve opened my eyes!”

    In his eyes, Shen Fei was just lucky.

    Nothing more than luck!

    Shen Fei stared at Kong Fuwen deeply.

    He hadn’t intended to pay much attention to Kong Fuwen, but this guy kept provoking him…

    It was time to give him a good lesson!
