Ye Fei's three pieces of jade once again yielded a slab of old-pit glass-type Imperial Green, weighing a good fifty catties!
Now, only this last rough stone remained to be cut.
"Be extra gentle!"
Ye Fei instructed.
He estimated that this final piece would be the most potent among the four jade roughs.
That was why he had specifically given the instruction.
The stone cutter's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but feel nervous.
Even Yu Xiao's heart began to race, her eyes fixed intently on the last rough stone.
The stone cutter grew even more careful, shaving off the top of the rough stone slice by slice.
Under Ye Fei's guidance, and to speed things up, these three stone cutters worked together.
After over an hour of meticulous work, the last perfectly formed blood jade, weighing approximately a hundred catties, finally appeared before everyone's eyes.
Everyone present felt their breathing quicken, their gazes burning with desire as they looked at this rare treasure.
The old man also stared at the blood jade with utter fascination, unwilling to tear his eyes away.
As for the young man who had been competing with Ye Fei, he wore a look of utter resentment. After whispering a few words to the shop owner beside him, he intended to slip away quietly while everyone's attention was not on them.
"Where do you two think you're going?"
Ye Fei pushed through the crowd and stood directly in front of the two men.
"Kid, don't get cocky!"
"You'd better let us go right now, or you won't be able to bear the consequences!"
The shop owner said with a dark face, his tone chillingly sinister.
"If you want to leave, shouldn't you settle the money for the rough stones I bought first?"
"After all, you said it in front of so many people, you can't just go back on your word, can you?"
Ye Fei said with a grin, clearly in an excellent mood.
"You little beast, don't push your luck!"
"Just because I can't do anything to you now, doesn't mean I won't be able to after we leave this hotel!"
"I advise you to be careful."
The young man hated Ye Fei to the bone, but in front of everyone, he could only endure it.
Moreover, this hotel was territory belonging to the Guan family, the largest jade supplier in Myanmar.
He dared not cause trouble here.
"Everyone, look quickly!"
"This person is not keeping his word and doesn't want to pay me!"
Ye Fei shouted like a megaphone, directly addressing the surrounding crowd and successfully drawing everyone's attention to Ye Fei and his companions.
Someone started it, and then everyone echoed in unison.
"What's wagered must be honored, pay up!"
With each shout louder than the last, the young man and the shop owner became the target of everyone's disapproval.
With a *phu* sound.
Perhaps from extreme anger, the young man spat out a mouthful of blood.
Fortunately, Ye Fei reacted quickly, avoiding being splashed.
"Let me make it clear, I didn't touch him, so don't blame me!"
Ye Fei immediately moved away from the two, fearing they would try to pin the blame on him.
"Give him the money!"
"We're leaving now!"
The young man decided quickly. With bloodshot eyes, he glanced at Ye Fei before being helped out of the hotel by the shop owner.
Of course, before they left, Ye Fei had already received the agreed-upon payment from their earlier bet.
This meant that Ye Fei had spent no money and had gained several pieces of top-quality jade for free.
The surrounding crowd, like famished wolves spotting prey, stared intently at Ye Fei, their eyes filled with envy for the top-grade jade in his hands.
"Sir, would you be willing to sell me your smallest piece of Imperial Green jade?"
The old man in the Tang suit asked again, unyieldingly.
"Old sir, I'm sorry, but I still need to consult my friend's wishes first."
Ye Fei replied politely.
After Ye Fei whispered to Yu Xiao and received her agreement, he continued,
"Since she agrees, I can sell you one piece of this jade."
Upon receiving the answer he desired, the old man became instantly excited.
"Excellent! Don't worry, the price will be to your satisfaction!"
The old man's face was flushed with excitement.
"One hundred million!"
"I'll buy it."
"How about it?"
The old man directly offered a price of one hundred million.
This was indeed not a small sum.
Ye Fei himself was not very familiar with the market, but seeing that Yu Xiao did not object and simply nodded, he knew that the price must be quite reasonable.
"Alright, let's do it at your offered price."
"We'll exchange money for goods!"
Ye Fei made the final decision.
As for the spectators, a few also wanted to buy the purple jade that Ye Fei had revealed, but unfortunately, all the remaining jade pieces from Ye Fei had already been reserved by Yu Xiao.
Ye Fei had certainly made quite a spectacle of himself.
Among those present, many had also silently taken note of Ye Fei.
Whether their intentions were to befriend Ye Fei or to rob and kill him, it was impossible to say.
However, since Ye Fei dared to be so high-profile, he naturally had immense confidence in his ability to protect himself and those around him.
"Ye Fei, since you've already revealed so much top-quality jade, there's no need for us to participate in the gambling stone convention anymore."
"Let's leave quickly while there aren't too many people around!"
Yu Xiao knew the principle of not flaunting one's wealth.
Therefore, she urged him on.
"Alright, I'll listen to you. I've been out for a few days anyway, so it's good to go back early."
Ye Fei replied.
Then, the group packed up those few pieces of top-quality jade, which Ye Fei then carried in his hands, and they headed straight out.
Only after Ye Fei and his companions disappeared from sight did the gazes following them finally dissipate.
"Ye Fei, there's no time to delay. Let's leave first thing tomorrow morning!"
Yu Xiao knew it was not advisable to linger and immediately booked plane tickets on her phone.
Afterward, the group returned to their respective rooms to rest.
A group of masked men, who had been lurking by the elevator, saw Yu Xiao and the others leave Ye Fei's room and enter their own. They immediately followed.
Inside the room, Yu Xiao had just changed her clothes and was about to relax when a knock suddenly came from the door.
*Knock, knock, knock.*
Yu Xiao paused for a moment, then went to the door and asked,
"Who is it?"
The people at the door looked at each other, and then one of them imitated Ye Fei's voice and said,
"It's me, Ye Fei."
"I have a few words I want to say to you!"
Hearing the familiar voice from inside, Yu Xiao, confirming it was Ye Fei, then opened the door with a smile.
