Chapter 414 is full of tricks.
She picked up a flashlight and carefully examined each piece of jade, asking herself, "Tuantuan, is this set of jade real?"
"It's true, host," Tuan Tuan said with absolute certainty.
"Moreover, the quality is exactly the same as what I just saw, without any flaws; it's top-notch."
"So how much is it worth now?"
"It's priceless," Tuan Tuan said with a hint of seriousness.
"Currently, there is no complete set of this quality, the Imperial Green, that has ever appeared on the market; there is simply no comparable reference."
"But before this, there was an even smaller string of imperial green jadeite beads, which fetched a price of two small dollars at auction."
"oh."
Shen Li looked at Wu Aung San and instantly understood—no wonder Wu Aung San quoted less than a small dollar; it turned out he had planned to use fake chalcedony to scam people from the beginning. If she hadn't seen through it, the ten million dollars would have been wasted!
There are so many tricks.
Shen Li originally planned to buy some raw jade after purchasing the jadeite.
But now it seems better to forget it—this shop is completely unreliable.
The group hurriedly left with their belongings. Half an hour later, as the two cars drove away...
Mingcheng suddenly slammed on the gas pedal, and the car accelerated rapidly, startling Shen Li.
"What's wrong?" She gripped the handrail tightly, her voice tinged with panic.
Ming Xiangyang quickly pulled her into his arms, pressing his palm against her back to comfort her: "It's okay, someone is following us."
Shen Li finally calmed down and turned to look out the back window. Sure enough, she spotted two unfamiliar vehicles following at a distance.
We sped back to the hotel, where the box containing the jade was placed on the coffee table in the room.
While Ming Xiangyang was on the balcony making a phone call, Shen Li quickly put the contents of the box into her spatial storage—nowhere else felt as secure as hiding them in her own space.
Dinner was ordered in the room. As soon as they put down their chopsticks, Ming Xiangyang said in a deep voice, "Let's go, let's change hotels."
Shen Li didn't ask any further questions and simply nodded in agreement.
The group left quietly through the back door of the hotel. The hotel had a maze of alleyways, so they could easily slip away through any side door.
Before leaving, Ming Xiangyang even had his license plate changed quickly, acting with utmost caution.
Although they were all armed, they would ultimately suffer losses if the other side had a large number of people and was in a direct confrontation.
Shen Li then pulled out two more wigs from her spatial storage and changed into inconspicuous outfits with Ming Xiangyang—they were already locals, and the change of clothes made them even less likely to attract attention.
After finally settling into a mid-sized hotel, Shen Li felt increasingly unwilling to give up: the humiliation she suffered at that shop during the day, and the unsold raw stones—she couldn't just let it go like this.
Before going to sleep, she looked up at Ming Xiangyang, her eyes shining with a hint of cunning: "Let's go out for a bit."
"What are you going to do?" Ming Xiangyang raised an eyebrow, his fingertips tracing the rim of the glass.
"Stealing," Shen Li said crisply.
A knowing glint flashed in Ming Xiangyang's eyes, and a smile curved his lips: "Can it be moved?"
He instantly guessed what she was thinking—she must have her eye on the rough stones from the shop during the day.
"Yes, I can," Shen Li assured, patting his chest.
"Should we call them over?" Ming Xiangyang was referring to Ming Cheng and the others who were guarding outside the door.
Shen Li originally didn't want to bring too many people to avoid making them too conspicuous, but then she thought it would be good to have them stand guard at the door, just in case something happened. After all, neither she nor Ming Xiangyang were top-notch fighters, while Ming Cheng and the others were trained martial artists, so it was better to be prepared.
After nightfall, the group changed into black clothes and quietly set off under the cover of darkness.
Having already been there during the day, Shen Li knew the location of his destination by heart, and had even scanned the entire area with his X-ray vision.
To her surprise, the raw stone mine didn't keep any dogs, which saved her a lot of trouble.
As dusk fell, they parked their car in a secluded spot some distance away, and saw a large group of people emerge from the venue—it seemed they were going out as a group, which was truly a golden opportunity.
There were many raw stones scattered around the perimeter of the field. Shen Li glanced at them and immediately spotted an inconspicuous stone.
With X-ray vision, the stone's outer layer was pierced, revealing a rare spring-colored interior!
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, she flicked her finger, and the stone silently entered the space.
After the people at the venue closed the gate and left, ten minutes later, Ming Xiangyang arranged for others to stand guard at the gate, while he accompanied Shen Li to climb over the high railing.
The moonlight was perfect tonight, its clear glow spilling into the courtyard. The pile of raw stones on the ground made Shen Li's eyes light up. He couldn't wait to pluck every last feather from the stone, and he didn't even let go of the weak ice-type stones that he usually looked down on.
"Weak ice-type bright green, high-grade ice-type apple green, ice-type clear water green, ice-type floating flower green, ice-type spring-colored green, high-grade ice-type oily green... My goodness!"
Shen Li let out a squeal like a groundhog in her heart, her eyes filled with ecstasy—it was all good stuff, all high-quality raw stones, this was simply the pinnacle of zero-yuan purchases!
All that was left were some useless stones; even Ruobing Shenli didn't leave him any.
In less than half an hour, she had collected all the high-quality raw stones in the yard.
Shen Li, still not satisfied, used his X-ray vision to scan the house next door and discovered that there was still stock inside.
"We've come all this way, how can we leave empty-handed?" she muttered to herself. After confirming that no one was inside, she led Mingcheng and the others through the window.
The house was divided into several rooms. Shen Li went straight to the innermost room, which contained high-grade raw stones. She glanced at it and put everything into her spatial storage. Ming Xiangyang stood guard at the door, vigilantly watching for any movement around him.
When she came out of the courtyard, Shen Li deliberately carried a raw stone the size of a washbasin, which made the people accompanying her secretly gasp: Madam went to so much trouble just to move such a "clumsy" stone.
Actually, she just used this to cover up her actions. She couldn't very well say that she went out to steal something and came out empty-handed!
The group had barely moved a short distance when they saw the people from the venue turn back.
They dared not delay and sped along, but just as they returned to the vicinity of the temporary hotel, Mingcheng suddenly slammed on the brakes—ahead of them, flames shot into the sky, right at the hotel where they were staying.
Shen Li stared at the sea of fire, his eyes darkening: "These people are ruthless; they actually managed to find their way here."
Luckily, she decided to steal the raw stone on a whim, otherwise she would definitely have had a fierce battle tonight.
"How did they know we changed our accommodation?" Shen Li asked, frowning.
Ming Xiangyang's tone was icy: "There's a mole inside. Luo Qing is unreliable."
Shen Li instantly understood.
They stayed at the hotel with Luo Qing, but went out tonight without notifying him, making him the prime suspect.
As for the people they brought, they were all trusted confidants, whose lives and fortunes were tied together, and they would never betray them—if anything went wrong, these bodyguards would have no chance of staying in the country.
This "zero-dollar purchase" was so enjoyable, but trouble followed.
The next day, Hpakant was in an uproar because a raw stone mine had been completely looted.
It should be noted that those raw stones were quite large, and could not be moved by manpower alone. This matter quickly became the biggest news in the area, causing a great uproar.
Shen Li didn't want the people around him to know that he had stolen so many raw stones, so he deliberately took out the stone the size of a washbasin to cover his tracks.
She had originally planned to stay in Myanmar for a few more days, but now it seemed best to leave as soon as possible.
