Zhang Heihu said: Youngster, you might have some ability, but the Southwest Province is not a place where you can act recklessly. Let me tell you the truth, if you dare to lay hands on me today, the Black Dragon Sect will definitely not let you off. My elder brother Zhang Heilong is the boss of the Black Dragon Sect. We have tens of thousands of followers spread throughout the entire Southwest Province. If you don't believe me, just try and touch me.
Mo Wenjie didn't say much either, and slapped Zhang Heihu on the face. He spoke indifferently, "I've already moved you, what can you do to me?"
Zhang Heihu said: Youngster, you really dared to hit me. You're done for. I'll call the boss and have him bring a few hundred people to chop you into minced meat.
Mo Wenjie said: If you're going to fight, do it quickly! If not, scram!
Zhang Heihu said: Let my brother come and take care of you.
Mo Wenjie said: I don't have time to wait for your so-called big brother. Here are two choices for you: either I beat you down and walk away now, or wait until your big brother comes to the jade auction and find me there.
Hearing this, Zhang Heihu already had his choice in mind. It was better to admit defeat than to be arrogant and get beaten up. If there was a place where he could find him, waiting for his big brother to come and look for him at the jade auction wasn't a bad idea either. After all, his big brother was a innate martial artist, and his cultivation level might be the same as him. Zhang Heihu wasn't foolish enough to know that he would get beaten up and still put his face on display. He said, "Are you really here to participate in the jade auction?"
Mo Wenjie said: It's up to you whether you believe it or not! Su Manager, Miss Zhou, let's go!
Mo Wenjie took Su Xueqing and Zhou Qianqian to a taxi and left the airport.
Qianjin Xing said: Zhang Heihu, how could you let him go?
Zhang Heihu said: I'm not his match. What else can I do to stop him from leaving? They're here to attend the jade auction. Let my brother find him at the jade auction. Do you think I would let him go? My slap wasn't for nothing.
Qianjin Xing said: Our Qianjia Family will also participate in the jade auction. At that time, let us deal with him. I'll pay you money. Leave the two beautiful women to me.
Zhang Heihu said: Our Black Dragon Sect only wants money and doesn't care about people.
Qianjin Xing said: Very well, we'll see each other at the jade auction.
Mo Wenjie said: Tomorrow is the start of the jade auction, and we are going to the hotel now. Do we have any other arrangements?
Su Xueqing said: Let's first settle in the hotel and then go to see a friend of my father!
The three people arrived at the hotel to check in and register for their reservation.
Su Xueqing said: Zhou Qianqian, I'm going to see a friend with Mo Wenjie. Will you join us?
Zhou Qianqian said: Yes, of course! My mission is to follow Mo Shenyi, and I'll go wherever he goes!
Mo Wenjie said: Miss Zhou, from now on, don't keep calling me 'Shen Yi' (Mister Doctor). You can just call me Mo Wenjie or Wenjie!
Zhou Qianqian said: Alright! Then I'll call you Wenjie from now on, and don't call me Zhou Girl or Qianqian!
Mo Wenjie nodded and said: It's fine!
Su Xueqing said: Let's go. Uncle Liu is inviting us for a meal and wants us to go there.
The three of them took a taxi to the Liucheng Grand Hotel in Southwest Province. There was a middle-aged man waiting for them at the door.
Su Xueqing said, "Uncle Liu, hello! Let me introduce you: this is Mo Wenjie, and this beautiful lady is Zhou Qianqian, the daughter of the Zhou family in the capital. This is my father's university classmate, Uncle Liu Chengwen."
Liu Chengwen smiled and said, "Xueqing, you are getting more and more beautiful. Are you in a relationship? When you get married, Uncle Liu will definitely come to the wedding banquet. Let's go eat!"
The four of them went to a private dining room.
Liu Chengwen said, "Xueqing, since you're here for the jade auction, why didn't you bring Old Mo with you?"
Su Xueqing said: Old Mo was invited by another family.
Liu Chengwen said, "Then you won't be buying raw jade at the jade auction this time."
Su Xueqing said, "Uncle Liu, I'm relying on Mo Wenjie to participate in the jade auction this time."
Liu Chengwen looked at Mo Wenjie and said, "He's the jade master you've brought."
Su Xueqing said, "He is my bodyguard. His discernment skills are no lower than Old Mo's."
Liu Chengwen exclaimed in surprise, "There aren't many young masters like him. If he can help you win the championship of this jade auction, your family's jade business can become the dominant force in the market."
Su Xueqing said, "I haven't thought about winning the championship. As long as we can find high-quality jade stones, it's enough."
Liu Chengwen said, "Xueqing is right. As long as we can make money, that's all that matters!"
Su Xueqing said: "Uncle Liu, is the Qianjia family in the Southwest Province really formidable?"
Liu Chengwen said, "The Qianjia family is a top-tier aristocrat in the Southwest Province. It's incredibly wealthy, has a wide network of people, and has significant influence in the military, politics, and business worlds. Do you know anyone from the Qianjia family?"
Su Xueqing said, "When I arrived, Qianjin Xing from the Qianjia family was bothering me on the plane. At the airport's baggage claim area, she tried to have people take away my sister Zhou and me. Mo Wenjie beat up her henchmen."
Liu Chengwen said, "You've caused some trouble this time. The Qianjia family is untouchable in the Southwest Province. How dare you confront them? Xueqing, you shouldn't participate in the jade auction either; just go back as soon as possible! If the Qianjia family decides to retaliate, I won't be able to protect you."
Su Xueqing said, "Uncle Liu, is the Qianjia family really so powerful?"
Liu Chengwen said, "Even a daughter of a county-level official was mistreated by Qianjin Xing, and no one dared to fight back. We are even less likely to stand a chance against them."
Su Xueqing's face changed dramatically upon hearing this. She said, "What should we do then? If we don't participate in the jade auction, we'll lose our supply for the whole year. But if we do participate and the Qianjia family finds out, it could bring Mo Wenjie a lot of trouble!"
Mo Wenjie smiled and said, "Don't worry! If the Qianjia Family truly deserves to be punished, I will eliminate them."
Liu Chengwen looked at Mo Wenjie as if he were an idiot. He spoke in a harsh tone, "What are you boasting about as a bodyguard? You think you can take out the Qianjia Family? Who do you think you are? Find your own death and don't drag the Su family into it."
Su Xueqing said, "Uncle Liu, don't say that about him like that."
Zhou Qianqian said, "Mo Wenjie, can you call my grandfather? Our Zhou Family should be able to handle the Qianjia Family."
Mo Wenjie said, "It's not necessary. As long as the Qianjia family's wrongdoings are true, I don't mind eliminating them to protect the people."
Liu Chengwen said, "You're just getting more and more carried away, aren't you? The Qianjia family is a giant in the Southwest Province. Do you think they don't have a protective umbrella? You think you can eliminate them just like that? You might end up doing hard time if they make a single call."
Su Xueqing was really scared. She said, "Mo Wenjie, let's go back. At the very least, we won't do any jade business next year. I can't let you get into trouble."
Mo Wenjie said, "Su total, trust me. I said I can eliminate the Qianjia family and I definitely can."
Su Xueqing nodded and said, "I believe you!"
Liu Chengwen said, "He's a lunatic, Xueqing. Why would you want to go mad with him?"
Su Xueqing said, "Uncle Liu, I believe in him!"
Liu Chengwen said, "If you want to seek your own destruction, that's up to you, but don't drag the Liu family into it."
Upon hearing this, Su Xueqing's expression turned unhappy and she said, "Uncle Liu, we're leaving!"
The welcoming banquet ended without a pleasant atmosphere.
Su Xueqing and they returned to the hotel, no one spoke, and each went back to their rooms to rest.
The next morning, the three of them ate breakfast and arrived at the jade auction venue.
Su Xueqing took out the invitation and the three of them entered the venue.
The jade auction venue covered hundreds of acres, creating an astonishing scene. There were dozens of zones, each full of original jade exhibitions! This was truly an eye-opener for Mo Wenjie. There were indeed some top-grade jade stones with a spiritual aura, though they were very few compared to the common ones. The common stones were not useful for his cultivation, only the top-grade ones were. There were no more than three top-grade jade stones across the dozen zones, which somewhat disappointed Mo Wenjie.
Su Xueqing said, "Mo Wenjie, can you sense whether there are good jade stones in these original stones here?"
Mo Wenjie said, "Let's see. I'll take my time to feel it."
"Hello, Su Manager!" Su Xueqing heard the voice and saw Jia Yunpeng, Old Mo, and three other people.
Su Xueqing said, "Jack President, Old Mo, you two are here?"
Jia Yunpeng said, "Of course we came! It's about the business for a whole year. Su total, have you found a jade master for stone identification?"
Su Xueqing said, "No, I'm here with my bodyguard to try our luck. If we win, it's good fortune; if we lose, well, we'll just have to admit our bad luck!"
Jia Yunpeng said, "It's only because the Su family is too greedy. If you had agreed to the 2:8 ratio, this wouldn't have happened!"
Old Mo said, "Su total, we hope you're lucky this time!"
Su Xueqing said, "Don't worry, Old Mo. Mo Wenjie has always been quite lucky!"
Old Mo said, "Is that so? I don't know which master he learned from?"
Mo Wenjie said, "I have no master. However, my luck is not just good; it's exceptionally good."
Jia Yunpeng said, "It's good to be confident, young man, but boasting is a sign of ignorance of one's own limits. Since you're so confident, how about we make a bet?"
Mo Wenjie said, "How do you want to gamble?"
Jia Yunpeng said, "Let's start the jade auction. You and Old Mo each choose ten blocks of original stones. The one with a higher value wins. The losing party must give the jade stones they have cut out to the winner! Dare you?"
Mo Wenjie said, "What's there to be afraid of? But for a top-tier aristocrat, the stakes seem a bit low. How about we up the ante?"
Jia Yunpeng said, "What's there to be afraid of? Go ahead and say how much the bet should be!"
Mo Wenjie said, "How about adding ten billion?"
Jia Yunpeng laughed heartily and said, "Since Su total wants to give me money to spend, how could I refuse? It's settled then!"
Su Xueqing said, "Since Jack President is so interested, I can only join you all the way."
Jia Yunpeng said, "Su total, would you like to add another ten billion?"
Su Xueqing was startled in her heart. The funds she could mobilize were only around ten billion, and she couldn't come up with twenty billion. However, if she didn't agree, she would be mocked by Jia Yunpeng. And if she did agree, where would she get the additional few billion?
Zhou Qianqian looked at the hesitant Su Xueqing and said, "Su total, how about our Zhou Family contributes ten billion and joins in?"
Su Xueqing said, "Since Sister Zhou wants to play, let's do it together!"
Jia Yunpeng, fearing that Su Xueqing might change her mind, hurriedly said, "Then let's go to the Jade Association to sign a contract. If the losing party fails to fulfill the contract, the Jade Association can cancel their qualification to participate in jade auctions in the future."
Su Xueqing said, "Let's go then!"
