  The next day, Lin Yue woke up from his beautiful dream and came to the restaurant under the hotel, only to find that He Youzai had already arrived.

  "You got up early." Lin Yue casually pulled over a chair and sat down opposite He You Cang.

  He You Cang just faintly said "en" and didn't even lift his head, continuing to eat his own food.

  Lin Yue called over the service staff and ordered his meal. After the food arrived, Lin Yue asked, "Are you still going to Yushi Street today?"

  He Youzang heard the words and came down, raised his head and looked at Lin Yue with a faint glance, then lowered his head and continued eating.

  Lin Yue touched his nose awkwardly, he understood the implication in He You's eyes, and indeed, his words were superfluous. If not to go to Feicui Jade Street, why come here? It was precisely to gamble on stones that they came.

  For dinner, Lin Yue and He Youzang came to the Jade Street again, just like yesterday. At the entrance of the street, the two separated again, still agreeing to meet here at 6 pm in the afternoon. As for lunch... In He Youzang's words: The mouth is on your own body.

  Looking at He You Cang's aloof back, Lin Yue couldn't help but smile wryly and shake his head. He felt that the other person's heart wasn't as cold as it seemed, perhaps he just didn't know how to communicate with others. Maybe it was because of his frequent interactions with Fei Cui Mao in his childhood.

  Lin Yue thought of He Lanxiao again and couldn't help but smile wryly, these two siblings were just complete opposites in terms of personality.

  What an interesting family!

  Lin Yue shook his head and continued on his way. This time he went directly to the place he had strolled to yesterday afternoon and continued walking forward.

  He casually walked to each stall, took a glance and continued walking forward, not finding any good jade. Among the numerous jade stalls on Tengchong's Jade Street, there were hardly any good ones, Lin Yue couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed. He also knew that jade was hard to come by, with only one in ten thousand being of high quality, but he still hoped to catch a glimpse of one at first sight, revealing his insatiable desire.

  Lin Yue walked a few more stalls and found that the better wool products were all being handled by people looking at goods on the stalls, and he couldn't even get involved. In this industry, you can't rush to buy goods. If someone sees a piece of wool, others can't grab it unless the other party doesn't buy it, and then they can make an offer. Even if you see that there is 100% jade inside, you can only stare blankly.

  No choice, it's just the way things are done around here.

  Everyone must comply.

  Although it's called a gamble, the rules need to be even better because of the gamble. Just like this Jade Street, there are millionaires everywhere and very few local thieves, because once a thief is caught, they will have their hands chopped off, and even if the police come, it won't work. So no one dares to steal.

  All these were known by Lin Yue from He You Cang, and at the same time, he also felt amused by yesterday's little heart.

  Lin Yue was walking aimlessly when he suddenly spotted a disheveled person in a corner, covered from head to toe in dirt and grime. Despite the sweltering heat, they were wearing thick, tattered clothing that seemed impervious to temperature changes. They resembled both a beggar and someone with mental health issues. Their eyes were lifeless, their face caked with dust, making it impossible to discern their age. Their hands kept mimicking a chopping motion, as if they were perpetually slicing something with an invisible knife.

  Seeing such a person, Lin Yue's heart was filled with pity and his face showed a sympathetic expression.

  Then Lin Yue walked up to a stall selling wool and pointed at the person in the corner, asking: "Who is this person?"

  Seeing Lin Yue's pointing direction, the stall owner sighed heavily and said: "No one knows who this person is, but he has been on this street for some years. The people selling wool on this street all know him. His mind is not clear, if it weren't for the people here giving him some food every day, he would have starved to death long ago. He... Alas, let's not talk about it!"

  The stall owner rushed towards Lin Yue and waved his hand, as if there was something he couldn't say.

  "Do you know why he became like this?" Lin Yue asked.

  "It's known to everyone here that many people have gone bankrupt from gambling, and he's not the only one who has lost his mind. It's probably better for him not to know the pain." The stall owner's expression was filled with emotion.

  "Can you talk to me?" Lin Yue asked, squatting down.

  The stall owner saw Lin Yue being so young, and sighed, saying: "Looking at you being so young, I'll teach you a lesson. Originally, people in this line of selling wool shouldn't say this, after all, we only pass on the skills when business is booming, not when it's declining."

  The stall owner then detailed what had happened a few years ago:

  "This man came here to gamble on jade nine years ago, bringing all his family's assets, which should be worth tens of thousands. He stayed here for a whole month before selecting a piece of rough stone, but it was cut into waste with one knife, losing everything and going bankrupt. This one knife also damaged his nerves, after that he became somewhat abnormal, always making the motion of cutting jade with his hands, and couldn't take care of himself. Nobody knows where he came from or what's happening at home, for over a decade he has been on this street."

  At this, the stall owner paused for a moment and sighed: "This is also a living example of a gambler's downfall. Every person who comes here to gamble on stones will see him, but no one takes it as a warning. There are almost daily cases of gamblers losing everything in these ten or so years, and those who jump off buildings to commit suicide are not uncommon either. It's good that he's still alive, even if he's lost his mind! Young man, you're still young, why do you want to gamble on stones? Can't you find another job and live a peaceful life? Why do you want to gamble on stones? I've been on this street for over 20 years, I've seen many people, listen to my advice, this line is too deep, it's not suitable for you. These words may not be suitable coming from a seller of woolen goods like me, but everything I said is true. This line... is too deep...

  Lin Yue was able to hear the sincere advice between the lines of the vendor's words and sighed in his heart.

  Not all businessmen are swindlers, at least this one in front of me isn't.

  Lin Yue couldn't tell the other person that he had an undefeated special ability, but the stall owner's words struck a chord in his heart. Who else would dare say they were undefeated in the gambling stone industry? Even several jade kings wouldn't dare say that.

  Knowing the risks of gambling on stones, they still enter the market like moths to a flame, perhaps with the mentality of getting rich overnight, or perhaps seeking wealth and glory in danger.

  But what's wrong with finding a stable job?

  Lin Yue has always been in a state of warmth and fullness, he feels that his life is very fulfilling, he doesn't understand why those rich people have so much money but still demand more. He doesn't understand them, they don't understand him either.

  Lin Yue looked again at the person who was still cutting with one knife in the corner, and his heart was filled with sympathy, and his heart ached again.

  He nodded at the stall owner: "Thank you for reminding me, junior. I'd like to ask you something, do you know the phone number of the nearby welfare institute?"

  Orphanage?

  The stall owner was taken aback and looked at Lin Yue in disbelief, asking: "You mean... sending him to an orphanage?"
