Chapter 98: Jade in the Tomb of the Dead



Qin Can rolled his eyes and said, "You're lying and you think you're justified?"

Gao Cun was really afraid that this second-generation rich guy would mess things up again, so he didn't argue with him. He just stood up and started to pack up his things, saying with a smile, "Mr. Qin, you're right. I'll pack up and leave now."

At this time, Li Shu stepped forward and called out to him, "Wait."

Gao Cun's hand that was collecting the things paused, and he looked up at her when he heard that. He naturally remembered Li Shu, mainly because her face was so unforgettable.

It seems that she and Qin Can are together, which means that the talisman she sold to Qin Can last time was really useful and not a scam. Otherwise, with Qin Can's personality, he would have taught him a lesson long ago.

But he didn't expect that this young-looking girl was actually so capable.

Qin Can saw Gao Cun staring at Li Shu in a daze and frowned, thinking that Gao Cun was coveting Li Shu's beauty. He subconsciously stepped aside, blocking Li Shu behind him, slapped the table in front of him, and said in a rather aggressive tone: "What are you looking at? My master is talking to you, can't you hear?"

Gao Cun collected his thoughts and said awkwardly, "I heard it, I heard it."

Li Shu walked out from behind Qin Can and asked, "Have you seen anyone selling paintings here recently?"

"Recently?" Gao Cun shook his head. "Ever since I was beaten up by Young Master Qin last time, I haven't been here for more than half a month. I just set up my stall again today and ran into you guys..."

Li Shu raised her delicate eyebrows slightly, "What about before this?"

"Before..." Gao Cun stroked his fake beard in a serious manner, and couldn't help but start to recall. After a few seconds, he said, "It seems that there was such a person, but he didn't come here every day, only occasionally, and always at night."

Qin Can asked: "Do you remember what he looks like?"

Gao Cun nodded, "I remember, but he has an ordinary face, nothing special. It's hard for me to describe him to you."

Li Shu narrowed her eyes slightly and said slowly, "Add my contact information. If he shows up again next time, take a photo and send it to me."

Gao Cun looked embarrassed. "Of course I can, but Master Qin won't let me continue setting up the stall here..."

Qin Can met Li Shu's gaze and waved his hand, "Alright, let's write off your deception now. I won't care if you set up a stall here in the future. As long as you help me take a picture of the man selling paintings, I won't give you any less money."

Gao Cun's eyes lit up, "Really?"

Qin Can sighed softly and crossed his arms, "Of course I take it seriously. It depends on whether you can complete the task we assign you."

Gao Cun patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry, Young Master Qin, I will definitely do a great job for you!"

He paused, looked at Li Shu again, smiled, and continued, "What is this young lady's name?"

"Li Shu."

"My name is Gao Cun," Gao Cun said, pointing to the WeChat QR code printed on the table. "Ms. Li, just scan this."

Li Shu nodded lightly, glanced at the QR code on the table, slowly took out her mobile phone from her pocket, unlocked the screen, clicked on WeChat, scanned the QR code, and then added a friend.

She raised her phone and said, "Okay, just agree."

Gao Cun picked up the phone at hand and said, "Okay! I agree now."

Li Shu put the phone back into her pocket and said, "Contact me if anything happens."

Gao Cun said, "I know, Miss Li, you can rest assured that I will do the job."

Li Shu nodded slightly. Just as she was about to call Qin Can and Zhang Zhe to leave, she suddenly remembered something and took out a talisman from her pocket and handed it to him. "Carry this with you. The man selling paintings is not as simple as he seems. He is a dangerous person to you. If he finds you and attacks you, this talisman can not only protect you but also seriously injure him at a critical moment."

"Amulet?" Gao Cun's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard that. He reached out to take it and looked at the talisman paper in his hand. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Sure enough, this regular thing is not comparable to his fake wholesale ones.

He gently rubbed the amulet in his hand with his fingers, "Miss Li, is this amulet really as magical as you say?"

"If you don't believe me, just give it to me." Qin Can pretended to grab the amulet from Gao Cun's hand, "Do you know how much this amulet costs? You're so ungrateful."

Gao Cun quickly put his hand holding the amulet behind his back and smiled, "Master Qin, I will definitely believe what you said."

Qin Can snorted lightly, "Okay, we're leaving, you can continue setting up your stall."

Gao Cun clasped his fists and glanced at the three people standing in front of the stall one by one, "Mr. Qin, Miss Li, and this young man, goodbye!"

......

After leaving Gao Cun's stall, Li Shu and a few others began to stroll around this ancient street.

Li Shu happened to pass by a jade shop. Her eyes moved, she stopped, and walked in first.

Seeing this, Qin Can and Zhang Zhe naturally followed in without saying a word.

"Hello, welcome." The owner's eyes lit up when he saw the three people coming in. He instantly perked up, stood up from the counter and went to greet them.

Li Shu stood in the middle of the store, looked around, and her eyes fell on the uncarved white jade on the shelf. She raised her chin slightly and asked, "How much is that?"

The shop owner turned around and looked at it, a little surprised. "This is the goods we just received today. It hasn't been processed or engraved yet. Are you sure you want this?"

Li Shu nodded. "Yes, this is it. How much is it?"

The shop owner rolled his eyes and raised his hand to make a two sign. "Two million, no bargaining."

Qin Can frowned. "You're not trying to trick us, are you? How can this broken stone be worth two million? And it hasn't even been processed or carved yet."

"This is top-grade Hetian jade. How can you accuse me of cheating you if you don't know its value?"

Li Shu raised her eyebrows, her delicate and fair face showing no emotion. She said nonchalantly, "One hundred thousand."

"Little girl, our shop doesn't operate at a loss. You can go out and ask if you can buy a piece of Hetian jade this big for 100,000." The shop owner looked the three people up and down calmly. He felt even more that they had very little money. A trace of contempt flashed in his eyes, and he was too lazy to continue to playfully deal with them. "Besides, I don't have any jade in my shop for less than 100,000."

Li Shu sighed softly and said suddenly, "You must have dug this piece of jade out of a dead person's tomb."

The shop owner's pupils suddenly shrank, and his eyes flickered unnaturally. He pretended to be calm and said, "Little girl, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want. This piece of jade of mine is naturally from a legitimate source. If you can't afford it, go look somewhere else."
