Chapter 430: Gambling on Stones

Shu Yue saw him coming over, and quickly hid her slightly bitter expression and asked, "What good news?"

Fu Jingshen walked up to her and said, "The police just called and said there is a clue about Tong Yao's disappearance."

Shu Yue's eyes lit up, "Really?"

"There are clues, but we haven't found the person yet. We should be able to find him in the next two days. Don't worry too much."

Fu Jingshen touched her head. "Why are you blowing the cold wind on the balcony when you turn on the TV? Don't wear an extra piece of clothing. Don't think that you can ruin your body recklessly just because the physical examination report shows that you are healthy."

It's the end of the year and the temperature keeps fluctuating, especially the temperature difference at night, which can make people catch a cold.

Fu Jingshen pulled Shu Yue into the house, pressed her to sit on the sofa, and covered her with a blanket. He was so considerate.

Shu Yue kept staring at him without saying anything.

I felt uneasy when she looked at me, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Look at you."

Shu Yue smiled and asked, "Don't you have to go to the meeting?"

"It's over. I have plenty of time to spend with you tonight."

Fu Jingshen sat down next to Shu Yue, pulled half of the blanket on her body to his side, and hugged her to watch TV with her.

Shu Yue had no intention of watching TV, as her mind was full of what the system had said.

It is uncertain when she will go back. Once the favorability conditions are met, she will be teleported away immediately.

So she should cherish every moment together.

Fu Qingqing called and Fu Jingshen answered the call and turned on the speakerphone.

"Uncle, didn't we agree that Shu Yue's wedding dress would be charged to my account? How could you pay for it yourself?"

Her tone sounded discontent.

"It's not appropriate for you to give me a wedding dress. You might as well give me something else, like the jade bracelet you bought at the auction recently."

"So you're thinking about my jade bracelet. It's for Shu Yue anyway, so just give it to her in a few days."

After chatting for a few more sentences, Fu Qingqing hung up the phone.

"I thought you were afraid that Fu Qingqing would spend money so you paid first, but you turned around and cheated her out of the more expensive jade bracelet."

Fu Jingshen shrugged. "Anyway, she is going to give you, her little aunt, a wedding gift. I think that jade bracelet suits you very well."

Shu Yue was worried and couldn't sleep. Fu Jingshen heard the noise and took her into his arms, "Can't sleep?"

"Um."

Shu Yue buried her head in his chest. She was the one who chose the laundry detergent. It had a light gardenia scent that was very comfortable and reassuring to smell.

"Are you thinking about Tong Yao's matter, or ours?"

Shu Yue was stunned.

He was like a shrewd man. Even though he could no longer hear her voice, he was still able to guess what she was thinking.

"I am mainly worried about whether Tong Yao will be hurt."

"Just wait for news from the police, everything will be fine."

I hope so.

The next morning, Fu Jingshen went to the company for a morning meeting. Shu Yue slept late and didn't wake up until nine o'clock.

I received a call from Fu Qingqing, "Aunt, are you free? Can you help me?"

Thinking it was something important, Shu Yue rushed over and found out that someone had invited Fu Qingqing to gamble on stones, but she didn't know how to do it, so she asked Shu Yue to come.

"I don't know how to gamble on stones. I studied jewelry design and I know nothing about raw materials."

"Hey, now that we're here, let's take a look together."

Fu Qingqing pulled Shu Yue in.

The place was pitch black as soon as they entered the door, and someone blocked their way.

"No invitation, no entry."

The man wore a white skull mask, revealing a pair of dark eyes, staring at Shu Yue and Fu Jingjing.

Fu Jingjing took out the invitation letter from her bag. He took it and checked it before letting them in.

There was only dim light inside and I couldn't see the road clearly, so I could only grope my way forward slowly.

Fu Jingjing was a little scared and grabbed Shu Yue's hand.

"You said you were so scared, why did you come to watch the gambling on stones?"

"It's not that I want to see it. The invitation letter was received by He Zhili. He was busy, and I was bored so I wanted to come and see the world. He gave me a card and told me to gamble and play as I pleased. If I win something good, it's mine. If I don't win anything, the loss is his."

Shu Yue smiled and pulled her down the stairs.

"So you plan to max out his card?"

"That's not the case, but I can spend a little more to see if he's just pretending. He gave me the card but was afraid that I would spend too much. I'm a young lady, and if I still feel pained by such a small amount of money, I won't marry him."

Fu Jingjing just wanted to take the opportunity to test him.

"He Zhili is a bit of a straight man, but he's very good to you, nothing to say."

As Shu Yue was speaking, she saw that the light in front of her had become much brighter. At least she could see the road clearly.

After turning a corner at the entrance, Fu Jingjing saw a man wearing a skull mask standing there, which scared her.

“You need to wear a mask when you go in, and your cell phone must be in your bag.”

The man took out a skull mask similar to his, but the difference was that their masks were red. He then gave them two small black shoulder bags and asked them to put their cell phones in them. As soon as they put their cell phones in, the bags were locked and could not be opened.

"What is this for?"

Shu Yue frowned, feeling something was not good.

“You are not allowed to use your cell phone after entering.”

“How can we pay for stones without a mobile phone?”

"If you are sure you want to buy the stone, a staff will take you to a special place to pay before you can proceed."

This person spoke in a cold voice, and Shu Yue answered each question he asked.

"All right."

Shu Yue pulled Fu Jingjing in.

They walked through a very long corridor and finally entered the elevator. A staff member in the elevator pressed the floor button for them. After reaching the third floor, the elevator door opened and let them out.

After going out, lively sounds came over.

"This is it, this is good, I want this one!"

"Don't gamble anymore. If you continue gambling, you will lose everything!"

"With your luck, what good things can you get? Don't waste your money."

"This stone is so small, why do you want 300,000 yuan from me? Are you crazy about money?"

"Buy if you want, buy if not, get lost!"

It was a very spacious stone exhibition hall, with at least a hundred people looking at the stones inside, and it was quite chaotic.

It’s okay to gamble on stones occasionally for entertainment, but once you become addicted, you will lose everything.

"You two, just take a look around. If you need anything, you can tell me."

After exiting the elevator, I met the staff in white masks again.

The third floor is only a place for displaying stones. After choosing a stone, you need to pay and go to another place to have it cut.

Shu Yue and Fu Jingjing walked around. Both of them were wearing masks, so it was hard to tell if they knew anyone there. All they knew was that they were a group of gamblers, gathered together to look at the stones.

Neither of them understood the ins and outs of this and just picked and chose based on their feelings.

There was an interesting stone, and Shu Yue saw it from a distance.

It was in the shape of a triangular spire, about the size of a fist, and the stone was red. When she walked over, she was stopped by someone.

“This stone is not for sale.”
