Chapter 75: Ma Guo Juns Blindness

  In the telescope, it was indeed Duan Fei who appeared, with a red face and having drunk a lot of wine. He seemed to be very excited. Zhang Yang sneered and watched as Duan Fei opened the curtain door and walked into the Emerald Pavilion.

  Light up the unfinished cigarette and quietly wait while calculating the time.

  Just as Zhang Yang had expected, tonight's events were all part of Duan Fei's plan.

  Affected by Zhang Yang's continuous excavation of jade, Duan Fei was in a daze after Zhang Yang left. Every time he saw that old material, his heart would beat excitedly. In the afternoon, he couldn't bear it anymore and found Zhou Yiran.

  "Master Zhou, is that old wool fabric really that good?" Duan Fei asked.

  Zhou Yiran's whiskers were all blown up, that little brat dared to question himself, after all, he had real skills, now even his own people doubted him, that was an insult to himself.

  "Of course, I, Zhou Yiran, have been gambling on jade for decades. What good or bad quality is, how would I not know? That piece of material, I can say with 70-80% certainty that it will be carved into a fine jade." Zhou Yiran said.

  "If so, why don't we solve it ourselves?" asked Duan Fei.

  Zhou Yiran glanced at Duan Fei and said, "You and I have the same idea. Although I don't believe in superstition, that kid named Zhang Yang is indeed very evil. I also asked around, he said his feeling was great before solving the jade yesterday. Just now I called Lao He, mentioned my own stone-solving experience."

  Duan Fei's heart skipped a beat, Lao Boss Lei was the one who collaborated with Xiao Fei, all these gambling stones were transported by him, in a sense, they were his goods, if he nodded and agreed, wouldn't his own get-rich dream disappear?

  "What did Old Lei say?" Duan Fei asked anxiously.

  Zhou Yiran said: "Boss Lei said to discuss with Boss Xiao, let's wait for news tomorrow."

  Returning from Zhou Yiran's place, Duan Fei couldn't sit still anymore. Originally he was going to hesitate and see if he should make a move or not, but now it seemed there was no more time for that. What if tomorrow Lao He and the others agreed, and the priceless jade was taken out? Wouldn't all his excitement be for nothing then?

  Such a large sum of money, placed right in front of you, and you just watch it slip away?

  Duan Fei finally made up his mind, he wanted to take out the jadeite himself. As long as he could sell it, he wouldn't have to be a slave to Xiao Fei anymore. With several million yuan, he could live a life of luxury abroad.

  It wasn't until everyone got drunk and no one would return to the store that Duan Fei snuck back in.

  Looking at the old green material in the warehouse, Duan Fei, who was already very excited under the stimulation of alcohol, couldn't control himself and hugged the old green material, kissing it. Haha, this priceless emerald will soon belong to me, Duan Fei laughed crazily.

  After a few minutes, Duan Fei was stunned. The wool had been cut into powder, and the only thing that came out in the end was a piece of jade about the size of a child's palm. Although Duan Fei had never seen glass before, he knew that what he held in his hand was absolutely not glass, because this piece of jade was not as good as the one Zhang Yang had solved.

  Impossible? Impossible, Zhang Yang said he felt great, and Master Zhou also said there was jadeite in it. How can there be so little jadeite! What should I do? What to do? 30 million, 30 million just gone like that!

  Duan Fei was like a gambler who had lost his senses, looking around frantically, and his eyes landed on the woolen goods on the shelves. An idea uncontrollably crept into his mind. To recover from his losses, he must continue to dig for jade, and with so many woolen goods here, all he needed was to excavate a single piece of glass jade, which would be worth tens of millions, enough to compensate for these woolen goods.

  Duan Fei went crazy and moved another piece of wool down, putting it on the stone cutter.

  No! Continue to analyze!

  Duan Fei was completely consumed by madness, and when the effects of the alcohol wore off and he came back to his senses, he stared blankly at the scattered stones. The wool on the shelves had been cut up into small pieces, with only a few blocks left, and the jade in his hand, all added together, was only three blocks, with the largest one not even as big as a fist. All of these would sell for less than the price of one block of wool.

  Just as Zhang Yang was happily smoking and looking at the quiet Feicui Xuan, Duan Fei had already opened up that piece of old material. He must be very stimulated now, I don't know if he will run away immediately or choose to continue opening the stone.

  After waiting for a few minutes without seeing Duan Fei come out, Zhang Yang couldn't help but laugh happily, he already knew the outcome.

  Greed is indeed the greatest of all original sins.

  Zhang Yang picked up his phone with a space card and dialed 999.

  "Hello, is this the Public Security Bureau? I was driving past the entrance of Feicui Xuan when I saw someone sneaking in suspiciously. I suspect it might be a thief. Can you come and take a look?" Zhang Yang hung up the phone after finishing speaking.

  He then dialed Ma Guojun's mobile phone without a pause.

  The phone rang for a long time before a drunken voice said, "Who is it?"

  "Must be Mr. Ma!" Zhang Yang's mobile phone receiver was covered with a layer of gauze, and Ma Guojun couldn't hear Zhang Yang's voice at all.

  "It's me, can we talk about it tomorrow?" Ma Guojun said with a headache.

  "Tomorrow will probably be too late. I just saw someone enter the Emerald Pavilion, believe it or not, you handle it yourself." After finishing speaking, Zhang Yang hung up the phone, took out the SIM card and broke it in half, throwing it to the side of the road.

  After taking a look at the Feicui Pavilion, Zhang Yang knew it was time to leave. If he waited until the police arrived and he was still here so late, it would arouse suspicion. Starting the car, Zhang Yang said faintly: "Duan Fei, you'd better not die, I still want to visit you in prison!"

  Zhang Yang hung up the phone, but Ma Guojun was startled and broke out in a cold sweat, shouting: "Hey, hey, who are you?"

  Hearing the dial tone from the other end, Ma Guojun knew that the other party had hung up. Was what this mysterious person said true or false? Never mind, even if it was false, he had to go back and take a look. Today was his shift after all, and if something really had gone wrong, he would be in big trouble.

  Thinking of this, Ma Guojun didn't dare sleep anymore. He hastily put on his clothes and took a taxi back to Feicui Xuan.

  When Ma Guojun arrived at Feicui Xuan, he saw a police car parked at the entrance and two policemen knocking on the door.

  "Officer, what's going on?" Ma Guojun hastily ran over.

  "We received a report that someone saw Jade Villa being burglarized. Who are you?" The police officer looked at Ma Guojun with suspicion.

  "I am Ma Guojun, the manager of this hall, and today is my shift."

  "Then open the door and let us take a look. If there's nothing going on, we'll leave." said the police officer.

  "Alright, alright, I'll open the door." Ma Guojun said.

  Hurriedly opening the rolling shutter, Ma Guojun sensed that something was off, because the glass door inside wasn't locked. It's impossible for the salesperson to make such a mistake. Thinking this, he tensely told the police: "It seems like someone really went in."

  The police heard Zhang Yang say this and immediately raised their vigilance, rushing towards Ma Guojun and saying: "You wait outside, we'll go in and take a look."

  Ma Guojun nodded and dodged back a bit.

  Two policemen walked in and soon the police's shouting voices came from inside: "Don't move, raise your hands."

  "What are you doing? I am the manager here." a voice shouted.

  Ma Guojun was taken aback - wasn't this Duan Fei's voice? How did he end up here?

  Ma Guojun felt something was off and pushed open the door, walking in until he reached the warehouse where the wool goods were stored. There, he saw Duan Fei being pinned to the ground by police officers.

  "Manager Ma, do you know this person?" the police officer asked.

  "He is Duan Fei, our general manager here. Director Duan, what are you doing here?" Ma Guojun said.

  The police heard that Duan Fei was also a manager here and let him go.

  Duan Fei's face was very pale and he let out a faint hum before saying: "I still have something to attend to, I'll leave first."

  Ma Guojun had already seen the scene in the warehouse and shouted: "Catch him, catch him, he's a thief."

  Duan Fei heard Ma Guojun's shout and quickly ran towards the door, but didn't run far before being pressed to the ground by the police. He had drunk too much wine, and on top of that, he was exhausted, his whole body devoid of any strength.

  Ma Guojun couldn't care about Duan Fei at this time, looking at the scattered gravel on the ground, he was already going crazy.

  All these woolen goods cost money, and now they're gone just like that.

  "Duan Fei, have you gone mad?" Ma Guojun rushed over and grabbed Duan Fei's collar.

  Ma Guojun had his own calculations and wanted to drive away Duan Fei to take his place, but he didn't expect it would be like this.

  Thinking of Lao Ray's gloomy expression, Ma Guojun felt his legs go weak and he fell to the ground, muttering: "It's all over, everything is over."

  The police pressed Duan Fei onto the police car and Ma Guojun followed to the police station. On the way, he fearfully called Lei Boss.

  "Boss, I'm Little Horse!" Ma Guojun said.

  Lei Zhengsheng's voice was quite unpleasant: "It's so late, is there something going on that you're calling?"

  Ma Guojun cried with a sad face: "Boss, something's happened. Do you still remember that Duan Fei?"

  "What's wrong with him? Didn't I tell you to keep a closer eye on him?" Lei Zhengsheng said.

  Ma Guojun said with a tone of being on the verge of tears: "He deceived us all tonight and secretly came back to untie the wool in the warehouse."

  "What?" Lei Zhengsheng's voice suddenly rose.

  Ma Guojun held the phone away from his ear, listening to Lei Zhengsheng's crazy scolding, not daring to retort a single word.

  After a long while, Lei Zhengsheng finally vented his anger and asked, "How much was lost?"

  "I don't know yet, but the high-grade wool on the shelves has been cut more or less." said Ma Guojun.

  Upon hearing the huge loss, Lei Zhengsheng was speechless for a moment, and after a long while, he said: "Alright, I know. Let Master Zhou calculate the losses. Duan Fei is Xiao Fei's person, I'll go settle this account with him. If you mess up again, don't even bother calling me, just dig a hole and bury yourself, so I won't have to take action."

  After hanging up the phone, Ma Guojun suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to report the mysterious person's call. Looking at his mobile phone, thinking of Lei Zhengsheng's angry face earlier, he didn't dare to call again.

  And so, the matter of this mysterious person was covered up.

  By the time the cleaning staff swept away all the cigarette butts on the ground the next day, the last clue also disappeared, and no one would ever know who that mysterious caller was!
