These pieces of amber were rather peculiar; each one sealed a medicinal herb within! A thought struck him, and he said calmly, "Boss, your amber is nice. It's got complete plants inside."
The boss glanced at Ye Tian. "Yes, this amber is very special. I worked hard to acquire it."
Ye Tian: "I quite like it. Could you let me have it?"
The boss hesitated for a moment. "I can let you have it, but the price might be quite high."
Ye Tian: "Let's hear it."
The boss: "One million each. If you want them, I'll give them to you."
Wu Zongnian immediately said, "Boss, I'll take this jade. A few pieces of amber are nothing, why not give them to my friend?"
The boss quickly waved his hands. "No, no, that won't do. One thing is one thing."
In the end, Ye Tian bought six pieces of amber for 4.5 million. Each of these amber pieces contained one or several medicinal ingredients. Naturally, the boss didn't know the value of these ingredients, but Ye Tian was well aware.
Wu Zongnian also purchased the jade for a sky-high price of hundreds of millions. After loading the jade into the car, the two drove back.
After driving for a while, Wu Zongnian chuckled. "Xiao Ye, I noticed your eyes were practically glowing when you saw those pieces of amber."
Ye Tian smiled. "Old foxes are cunning, and old horses are slippery. You truly can't hide anything from me. These are called medicinal amber, and the herbs inside are priceless treasures."
Wu Zongnian's eyes widened. "You mean, the herbs inside can still be used?"
Ye Tian nodded. "Amber preserves the medicinal properties very well, so they are all usable."
After driving for more than ten kilometers, Ye Tian noticed several large trucks in his rearview mirror, rapidly gaining on them.
A thought flashed through his mind, and he said to the driver, "Speed up."
The driver was startled, but Wu Zongnian, knowing Ye Tian wouldn't say this without reason, immediately urged, "Quick, accelerate!"
The car's speed soon reached 120. At this point, the vehicles behind were also accelerating, seemingly trying to overtake them.
Even Wu Zongnian began to sense something was wrong. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Could it be that the seller wants to rob us?"
Ye Tian: "What do you think? With goods worth hundreds of millions in the car, anyone would have designs on us."
The driver sounded a little nervous. "Boss, should we keep accelerating?"
Ye Tian said calmly, "No need. Slow down."
As he spoke, he took out two steel nails from his pocket and leaned half his body out of the car window. Behind them, the first truck was getting closer. With a flick of his wrist, the steel nails flashed and pierced the truck's left rear tire.
"Boom!"
The left rear tire exploded, and the truck immediately lost control, crashing into the guardrail. The driver was thrown out.
Witnessing this, Wu Zongnian's eyes lit up. "Brilliant! Xiao Ye, do it again!"
The second truck behind them caught up. When the distance was right, Ye Tian threw another steel nail.
"Boom!"
The front tire of this truck also blew out. The vehicle veered sharply into the oncoming lane before crashing into a roadside ditch.
After dealing with the two trucks, Ye Tian said, "Turn around!"
The driver was surprised, and Wu Zongnian also blinked in confusion. He asked, "Xiao Ye, what are you doing?"
Ye Tian: "If he wants to snatch our things, I'll go deliver them to him!"
Sensing the coldness in Ye Tian's eyes, Wu Zongnian shivered. "Let's not. A dragon from afar cannot contend with a local snake. People like that usually have guns on them. If we escalate this, we won't benefit."
Ye Tian: "Do you think someone like him, once he makes a move, would let us leave the county?"
Wu Zongnian was startled. "You mean, he has a backup plan?"
Ye Tian: "Most likely."
Wu Zongnian snorted coldly and said to the driver, "Turn around!"
At this moment, the boss who had sold the jade to Wu Zongnian received news that the two trucks he had dispatched had failed to intercept the others.
He was furious. He picked up his phone and called a friend in the county bureau.
"Director Wang? My jade was snatched. Could you send someone to intercept them? Yes, they haven't left the county yet. Set up a roadblock on the national highway; you should be able to stop them! Alright, thank you, Director Wang!"
