Chapter 42: Inquiry

  Wang Qiang was really shocked, his uncle not only kept the position of director of the Administration for Industry and Commerce, but also gained the appreciation of Mayor Wang, it is said that he is even going to be recommended to take on more responsibilities, all thanks to a phone call from He Dong.

  When did He Dong have such great energy? He Dong's family situation is still relatively clear, that is absolutely an ordinary family, and even a few years ago his parents were all farmers who faced the earth and had their backs to the sky.

  However, He Dong's changes this year have left him speechless. First, he mysteriously started dating the school flower, then he brought out a stunning diamond, and now it turns out that he has a deep relationship with the mayor.

  Now Wang Qiang didn't dare to guess what kind of shock He Dong would bring to everyone next time, and at this moment, He Dong indeed had a new move.

  "Boss, your family is in the jewelry business, should you know where there are places to gamble on stones?" He Dong had been in a bad mood since he got the ability of Broken Illusion Eye, and his mind was preoccupied with thoughts of Broken Illusion Eye.

  "Gambling stones? Old Three, why are you asking this?" Wang Qiang asked in surprise.

  "Hehe, just bored and want to have some fun!" He Dong said casually.

  "Lao San, I advise you one sentence, it's best not to touch gambling if possible." Wang Qiang said with a very serious tone.

  "Haha, boss, I know what you mean, and I also know the horror of gambling on stones. One knife makes one rich, one knife makes one poor, one knife pierces through hemp... crazy people buying, crazy people selling, and there are still crazy people waiting... I know all this! I'm just playing around because I have nothing better to do, and I guarantee that I absolutely won't become addicted." He Dong said.

  "Well, in that case, I'll go with you too!" Wang Qiang said after a moment's thought.

  "Let's go!" Anyway, it doesn't matter whether He Dong goes or not. It's meaningless to have more or fewer people. Besides, Wang Qiang will follow us, and at least we'll have one more professional with us.

  Wang Qiang told He Dong that the location was still quite far from their current position. He Dong initially wanted to call a taxi, because although he had a car, he couldn't drive it himself.

  However, Zhao Xinxin would absolutely not give up the opportunity to pester He Dong, so He Dong asked Zhao Xinxin if she knew how to drive. Zhao Xinxin very coolly told He Dong that it wasn't just cars, but also airplanes, ships, tanks, and armored vehicles that she could operate quickly, after all, driving these vehicles was a required course for an assassin.

  With Zhao Xinxin as his free driver, He Dong didn't plan to call a taxi and instead brought Zhao Xinxin back to the villa, where he drove out that brand new Audi.

  But what He Dong did not expect was that Wang Xuewu, as soon as he heard that He Dong was going to gamble on the stone, suddenly became interested and directly let his dagger and monkey help him fold up his wheelchair, then took the two of them into the car together.

  Because Wang Xuewu's injury required rest, he couldn't go out and about, so He Dong originally wanted to persuade him a few more times. However, looking at Wang Xuewu's pleading gaze, He Dong could only reluctantly nod in agreement.

  As a result, an Audi car was filled with five people, and even after meeting Wang Qiang, Wang Qiang was stunned for a moment, because He Dong's combination of five people was indeed a bit strange, a young man sitting in a wheelchair, two burly men with evil spirits on their bodies, and a loli who hugged He Dong's arm.

  "Boss, let me introduce you to them. This is Xue Wu, this is Dāo Zi and Hóu Zi, they're all my friends. And this is..." He Dong stepped forward to make the introductions when he saw Wang Qiang's stunned expression.

  "I'm Master's apprentice, I'm Xinxin!" Zhao Xinxin didn't wait for He Dong to introduce her and actively jumped out.

  "Huh! This...!" Wang Qiang looked at the girl in front of him, who was enough to tempt most men into committing a crime, with a puzzled expression.

  "This... Alas! I'm also not good at explaining it, just consider her as my little sister!" He Dong said with a bitter smile, looking at Zhao Xinxin.

  "Ah!" Wang Qiang nodded thoughtfully, and seeing that He Dong was clearly unwilling to dwell on this topic, he directly said "Old Three, this is the largest jade trading house in our city! Of course, it can't be compared with Yunnan, but if you just want to play around a bit, the scale here is enough!"

  What Dong and the others came to was actually an antique market in Tianyang City. The store that sold agate looked very ordinary from the outside, especially with a pile of stones of different sizes and shapes piled up at the entrance, looking a bit messy.

  "Are these all jade rough stones?" He Dong pointed at that pile of messy rocks and asked doubtfully.

  "Yes, but these are all leftovers and not valuable. The most expensive ones cost only around 100-200 yuan per catty, suitable for newbies and poor people to practice their luck." Wang Qiang was familiar with the situation here and directly introduced it to He Dong.

  As soon as he heard that the randomly piled stones were gambling stones, He Dong's face suddenly showed joy, and he eagerly displayed his ability to break through the void.

  In order to cover up the changes in his own eyes when using the broken eye, He Dong came out this time and deliberately wore a pair of sunglasses that could almost cover half of his face. Of course, in this hot summer, almost everyone on the street was wearing sunglasses, so no one suspected He Dong's behavior, and even Wang Xuewu had a pair of sunglasses on his face.

  "Damn, how can they all be stones? No wonder people say that nine out of ten bets are losses." Broken Wan's eyes did not disappoint He Dong's expectations. Even the divine jade rough stone that was hard to distinguish, appeared clearly in He Dong's eyes, with no place to hide. However, this outer rough stone was indeed as Wang Qiang said, a vast expanse of gray and white, without even a speck of jade.

  "Lao San, there's nothing good to see here, the good stuff is all inside!" Wang Qiang said as soon as he saw He Dong looking at the pile of stones by the door.

  "Master, let's go in and take a look! I've never seen a gambling stone before!" He Dong hadn't spoken yet, but Zhao Xinxin was already excitedly hugging his arm and shouting.

  "Brother Dong!" Wang Xuewu also looked at He Dong with a longing gaze.

  "Alright, go ahead!" He Dong said with a smile as he looked at everyone's eager faces.

  Under the leadership of Wang Qiang, as soon as they walked in, they first felt the coolness brought by the air conditioner, and then saw a man around fifty years old, very tall and strong-looking, with a smile on his face coming over to greet them.

  "Uncle Li!" Wang Qiang and the newcomer exchanged a polite greeting.

  "Haha, Xiaoqiang, your news is really timely! We just received a new shipment today and you're here!" Li uncle said with a pat on Wang Qiang's shoulder.

  "Uncle Li, I've brought friends today to support you, so you must give us a discount!" Wang Qiang said bluntly.

  "No problem! Today, as long as Xiao Qiang and your friend buy rough stones, they will all be 20% off!" Li Shu said generously.

  "That's really thanks to Uncle Li!" Wang Qiang was still very satisfied with this 20% discount, because in the past when they came, the highest discount they got was also 15%.
