Yu Xiao did not expect Ye Fei to have such a reaction.
Even the little one driving had a look of surprise on his face.
Knowing they were departing tomorrow, Ye Fei decided to return early to make preparations.
After bidding farewell to the two, Ye Fei returned home directly.
Once everything was packed, he simply waited for the next day to arrive.
The next morning, Ye Fei, along with Xiao Xiao and the group of four, headed straight to the airport in a dedicated car.
One of them was also a bodyguard.
It was something Yu Xiao truly couldn't refuse, so she had no choice but to bring the bodyguard along.
Of course, Yu Xiao quickly explained herself to Ye Fei.
She hoped to avoid any misunderstanding from Ye Fei.
She was worried he might think she didn't trust him.
Ye Fei felt no displeasure at all; in fact, he became more relaxed.
Seeing that Ye Fei showed no signs of unhappiness, Yu Xiao finally felt at ease.
After a short wait, the four of them finally boarded the plane.
Three and a half hours later, the group of four finally arrived in Meixi.
This was also the region with the richest jade resources in the entire country.
This time, their jewelry company had decided to come here to make a name for itself, hoping to find the legendary old-pit imperial green jade.
After resting at the hotel for a moment, Yu Xiao, unable to contain her excitement, immediately knocked on Ye Fei's door.
Ye Fei, who was still resting, had no choice but to comply with the employer's decision and accompany her to the gambling stone street.
"Ye Fei, my classmate will be here shortly. He's an expert in gambling stones."
"Today, we can go and see for ourselves first."
Yu Xiao was very familiar with her classmate, as she had been here before and her classmate had hosted them every time.
Although Ye Fei had never truly gambled on stones, his theoretical knowledge was extremely rich.
After all, the reason he discovered that black, unpolished rough stone was blood jade last time was also from his book knowledge.
Therefore, he was extremely excited at this moment, eager to test his skills.
"Let's go, let's hurry!"
Ye Fei urged.
The two moved forward quickly, understanding each other without a word. In less than twenty minutes, they had arrived at the gambling stone street.
As soon as they walked in, rough stones of various sizes were displayed outside the shops lining both sides of the street.
"Ye Fei, don't get too excited. If you don't understand something, don't just buy blindly."
"Let's wait until my old classmate arrives."
Yu Xiao reminded him.
"Don't worry, I won't buy blindly."
Ye Fei's gaze was fixed on a peculiarly shaped stone, about the size of a basketball and covered in moss, displayed outside a shop in front of him.
"Wait for me here for a moment, I'll go inside and have a look."
After speaking, Ye Fei stepped directly into the shop.
At this moment, there were already quite a few people inside the shop, browsing and selecting.
In particular, a young man wearing branded clothing and a watch was selecting a rough stone weighing about a hundred pounds and was bossily speaking to the owner.
"Boss, I'll take this rough stone!"
After calculating the price, the young man decisively paid the money and planned to have the stone cut on the spot.
The young man directly instructed his bodyguard to move the hundred-pound rough stone next to the master who was preparing to cut it.
Then, all eyes turned towards them.
"This young master is certain there will be green!"
"You all watch closely!"
The young man was smug and very confident.
Then, the stone master immediately began to polish it.
As time passed, a green arc suddenly appeared in the middle of the remaining half of the rough stone.
"There's green!"
"Everyone, look quickly, there's really green!"
Someone in the surrounding crowd suddenly shouted, and then all eyes turned towards them.
"Oh my god, there's really green!"
Everyone began to murmur, and their gazes towards the young man were filled with envy.
The stone cutting continued.
Ye Fei also moved a little closer, standing not far from the stone master.
After observing for a few minutes, Ye Fei noticed something amiss.
The remaining half of the rough stone looked as if it had been artificially pasted on.
Ye Fei frowned and moved even closer to the stone master.
After repeated observation, Ye Fei finally confirmed that this was not a natural rough stone at all.
Upon reaching this conclusion, Ye Fei looked at the owner not far away and noticed that the owner and the young man exchanged knowing glances.
Clearly, there was something fishy going on.
"It's imperial green!"
"Oh my god, this piece of imperial green is incredibly profitable!"
The surrounding onlookers exclaimed loudly.
Finally, this small piece of finished imperial green was bought by a jeweler for a high price of twenty million.
Everyone watched with eager eyes and rushed in to start selecting.
Ye Fei subconsciously turned his gaze back to the owner and the young man.
The owner wore a smile, and the young man had actually come to the owner's side.
The two exchanged a few smiling words.
Ye Fei, with his sharp ears, heard everything.
At this point, he was certain that this was a staged performance they had put on to sell more rough stones.
Ye Fei snorted coldly, deciding to teach them a lesson.
"Ye Fei, my classmate is here!"
Just as Ye Fei was about to go out and explain the situation to Yu Xiao, he saw a man in a white short-sleeved shirt and casual shoes standing in front of Yu Xiao.
After they introduced themselves, Ye Fei stated his intentions and, ignoring their attempts to stop him, walked back in.
Then he began to select.
"Ye Fei, the owner of this shop is said to have a strong background. Let's leave quickly!"
Yu Xiao's classmate advised.
"Don't worry, I'll take responsibility for my own actions and won't implicate you!"
After scanning the area, Ye Fei found nothing he wanted.
He then walked directly up to the owner and asked.
"Boss, do you have any other rough stones?"
The owner in front of him was around forty years old, lean, and looked quite shrewd.
The owner first looked Ye Fei up and down, then unenthusiastically pointed to a corner next to them.
"The rough stones there are a hundred yuan each. Take your pick!"
Ye Fei's attire today was also quite understated, a pure white round-neck short-sleeved shirt paired with black casual pants, which gave the owner the mistaken impression that Ye Fei was poor.
Upon hearing this, Ye Fei's gaze immediately swept towards the corner.
He saw that in the farthest corner, there were densely packed rough stones of various shapes and sizes, none of them particularly large.
Moreover, these rough stones were covered in dust.
Ye Fei carefully searched around the corner and finally found a few rough stones that he was very fond of.
