Liu Yihang was really in a hurry; Miao Cuihua was still waiting for him, and they had been wandering around for almost an hour.

He really didn't want to unravel the stone in public.

The color of this stone is exceptionally beautiful. If he were to cut it open in public, it might attract attention. He'd better keep quiet and make his fortune quietly.

That piece of yellow jade was already quite eye-catching.

Liu Yihang carried the yellow jade he had just unearthed, along with the few stones he had just bought, back to the teahouse.

The jade consultant that Miao Cuihua hired has returned. He is holding a piece of jade and talking to Miao Cuihua.

"Sister Miao, I'm back."

"Little Liu's back? How was it? Did you get anything this time?" Miao Cuihua asked, knowing the answer already, as she looked at the pile of nets in his hand.

"I did have a small haul." Liu Yihang took out the yellow jade he had just bought for two thousand yuan from his net bag and placed it on the table.

Miao Cuihua examined the two pieces of jade, one large and one small. The large piece of icy jade was the acquisition of jade consultant Niu Ben, while the small piece of icy yellow jade was the acquisition of Liu Yihang.

Ignoring the stone Liu Yihang was carrying, the two stones on the table were actually of roughly the same value.

For some reason, Miao Cuihua always felt that Liu Yihang was a mysterious young man.

She had a strong premonition that the uncut stone Liu Yihang was carrying must contain some fine jade.

He hopes that bringing him along will also bring him good luck.

Miao Cuihua's comparison made Niu Ben somewhat unhappy. His family had been making jade carvings for generations and possessed unique skills. Miao Cuihua actually compared him to an unknown kid. Although he hadn't lost, he still felt uncomfortable.

He decided that he would show them his true skills and prove who the real expert was.

Liu Yihang did not overlook the subtle meaning, but pretended not to know and silently picked up his yellow jade to put it away.

Just then, Xiao Zhao, who had just lost Huang Fei, rushed over with two men: "It's him! Beat him! How dare you steal my things, Master Zhao! I'll beat you to death!"

After saying that, the two thugs rushed towards Liu Yihang with sticks in their hands.

Liu Yihang calmly put the yellow jade into his bag and slowly zipped up his backpack.

The two men were already close. Liu Yihang turned around to avoid their sticks, raised his hand and punched them both, sending them flying and paralyzing on the ground, unable to move.

They were just local thugs, with no real fighting skills. They were hired by the man surnamed Zhao for the two thousand yuan that Liu Yihang had just given him.

If Liu Yihang knew that he had wasted the travel expenses he had kindly given him, he would definitely feel it was a pity.

The man surnamed Zhao hadn't expected Liu Yihang to be so powerful. The two people he had hired were no match for him; they could be dealt with in a single punch. Realizing he had messed with the wrong person, he stammered, "Please, have mercy on me. Just treat me like a fart and let me go."

Liu Yihang gave him a disgusted look: "Get as far away as you can. If I see you again, I'll beat you up every time I see you."

This person is truly overestimating himself. Liu Yihang hates gamblers like this the most in his life. He wonders if the man has elderly parents and children to support. This person is so disregard for his family's livelihood, taking out money to gamble so recklessly. He is really no good person.

Miao Cuihua had already witnessed Liu Yihang's skills, so she felt it was only natural.

The butler and Niu Ben were shocked. They never expected that this seemingly frail young man would have such great skill, sending an adult flying with a single punch.

No wonder Miao Cuihua only brought him as her bodyguard this time.

Niu Ben suppressed his hostility; his life was more important.

"Xiao Liu, what did he say about you stealing his things?" Miao Cuihua asked, puzzled.

Liu Yihang quickly gave Miao Cuihua a brief account of how he had obtained the piece of yellow jade.

"I see. He was indeed rude. But you have a good eye. I remember you haven't studied jade appreciation." Miao Cuihua's doubts grew even stronger.

He can bring back to life stones that others have rendered useless, something that even the most skilled jade appraisers cannot do. Yet he can do it, which is becoming increasingly bizarre.

"Hehe, luck, luck," Liu Yihang said, scratching his head to brush it off.

Although he repeatedly tried to keep a low profile and quietly make his fortune, his abilities simply wouldn't allow it.

Miao Cuihua didn't delve any further, but stood up and said, "Let's go."

The butler led them through the streets, then into an alley. After circling around a few times, they stopped in front of a vermilion door.

He went up and knocked on the door, three short knocks followed by one long one, quite politely.

A minute later, the door opened.

An elderly, dwarf man with gray hair poked his head out. Seeing them, he smiled and said, "Please come in, guests. Please leave your belongings with me for now. I will return them to you when you leave."

Miao Cuihua gestured for them to give it to him.

Perhaps this is their rule.

Liu Yihang was a little worried, but he still tidied up the things and handed them to the old man.

Niu Ben naturally took off the bag he was carrying.

Only Miao Cuihua's handbag and the housekeeper's two money boxes were allowed to be brought in after inspection.

The old man led them into a sealed passage.

There were many lamps inside, making it brightly lit.

"Boss Miao is here, it's been a long time." A middle-aged man dressed in ethnic clothing stood up to greet him and gave a bow, as if it were a special ethnic etiquette.

"Boss Hua, it's been a long time." Miao Cuihua returned the greeting.

Liu Yihang ignored what they were saying and focused solely on ensuring the safety of his surroundings and keeping an eye on the people around Miao Cuihua.

"This time, do you want to see the obvious or the hidden?" the man asked.

"Do you have any good raw materials?" Miao Cuihua asked.

The man laughed and said, "Of course I have some. Don't you know what I have here?" He then led the way and led them into a room.

Several armed young men, all dressed in ethnic costumes, stood at the door.

It seems that the contents inside are very important.

Upon entering the room, it was brightly lit and filled with shelves of all sizes, each displaying various kinds of stones.

Without exception, they were all transparent materials with windows open.

Some people are already inside, using magnifying glasses to select items.

Liu Yihang was amazed. So many stones, all containing jade, how much would they sell for? No wonder there were several armed guards at the entrance; if they were stolen, the loss would be enormous.

"All the ingredients are here, Mr. Miao, please take a look. I have other guests, please excuse me for a moment."

"Okay, Mr. Hua, you go ahead with your work."

Niu Ben couldn't wait to take a look with a magnifying glass.

Liu Yihang kept in mind that his mission was to protect Miao Cuihua, so he followed her around without looking at the stones.

The butler started chatting with the staff member next to him, and they seemed to know each other quite well.
