Chapter 297 If You Don’t Understand, Don’t Give Money to Others
After the meal, Bai Yichen was taken out by Xia Zhonggeng and Xie Jinglan to visit old friends.
Of course, visiting old friends is secondary. The main purpose is for the two elders to introduce a partner to their grandson.
After Bai Yicheng left, Ji Chen prepared to take Bai Lianwan and the pedantic scholar Lin Qingya, who begged to be taken with her, to Hualin Town in the neighboring city.
Although Hualin Town is not far from here, it still takes more than four hours to drive there.
In contrast, it only takes two hours to get there by train.
So Ji Chen bought the tickets while having breakfast. After Bai Lianwan and Lin Qingya packed up, the three of them went out together and took a taxi to the high-speed railway station.
Take a taxi to the train station.
Lin Qingya called the girl that Ji Chen and Bai Lianwan rescued yesterday and asked about her current situation.
After asking a few questions and ending the call, Lin Qingya glanced at the two people in the back seat through the rearview mirror and said, "That girl yesterday is fine. The police are investigating now, and they will probably be able to convict her soon."
Ji Chen nodded calmly, "Of course it would be best if the results could be out as soon as possible."
Bai Lianwan didn't say anything, but nodded.
In fact, she could see it yesterday. The group of people were so arrogant and seemed to have some background.
If the outcome of this case is unsatisfactory, she will definitely report the matter to her eldest brother immediately and make sure that the lawless person is sent to prison.
…
at the same time.
Jiangcheng Police Department.
Captain's office.
Wu Zhihua, the captain of the police team in charge of the Chen Tian case, was answering a call from the deputy director who was away on a business trip.
"Lao Wu, please put aside the case of Chen Tian from yesterday. I have other cases that need you to handle."
Wu Zhiguo frowned when he heard what the other party said. He said, "Now that we have thoroughly investigated the case with the victim and witnesses, we can convict Chen Tian right away. Can you wait until I finish handling this case?"
The person on the other end of the line hesitated for a moment and continued, "That's fine. Then you can hand over Chen Tian's case to Lao Zhou. He will follow up on it, and you can take charge of the other case I assigned to you."
Wu Zhiguo rubbed his brows after hearing what the other party said, and continued, "Deputy Wang, the background of the people involved in the conflict with Chen Tian in this case is not simple. I don't recommend delaying it too long."
Even if the case is handed over to the next person, the other party will know the information of that person and will definitely report it to the superiors, forcing them to continue the procedure under pressure.
But Wu Zhiguo wanted to send Chen Tian to prison himself so that he could feel at ease.
The latter chuckled when he heard his words. "Old Wu, I'm just asking you to hand the case over to someone else. How much time will it take?" The man paused and said cautiously, "Then please also send me a copy of the information of the people involved in this case and the details of the case so I can take a look."
Wu Zhiguo heard what the other party said and nodded heavily, "Okay!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned on his computer and immediately sent the files about the case to the other party.
In less than half an hour, Wu Zhiguo's cell phone on the table rang again.
He reached out and picked up the phone, "Deputy Wang."
After Wu Zhiguo greeted him, he heard a few dry coughs from the other end. The voice was somewhat anxious and even faintly tinged with fear. "Old Wu, the higher-ups said that this case concerning Chen Tian must be handled as soon as possible. Don't delay it too long. The sooner the case is investigated and convicted, the better. There will be absolutely no leniency towards criminals."
Wu Zhiguo immediately took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I will do it as soon as possible!"
…
12:30 noon.
Ji Chen, Bai Lianwan and Lin Qingya traveled all the way and finally arrived at their destination, Hualin Town.
Hualin Town is currently one of the most famous gambling stone trading markets in China. Most of the interesting stories about gambling stones that people see on a daily basis come from the gambling stone market in this town.
The raw stones sold by merchants here range in value from tens of dollars to hundreds of thousands or even millions. There are roadside stalls as well as many well-known gambling stone shops.
It is noon now and the streets are crowded with people.
There are all kinds of jade stalls everywhere. On each stall, there are stones of various shapes. Many people stop in front of the stalls to watch and communicate.
Ji Chen and his two companions, who already had youthful and energetic looks and almost impeccable appearances, became the most eye-catching presence on the entire street as soon as they arrived at the market.
After all, people who come to the gambling stone street specifically to gamble on stones are generally older.
Ji Chen and Bai Lianwan looked like an eighteen-year-old boy and girl. They stood out among the crowd of mostly middle-aged people and were attracting everyone's attention all the way.
Bai Lianwan and Lin Qingya looked at everything around them, stunned for a moment before they reacted.
Bai Lianwan looked at Ji Chen and asked doubtfully, "Are you coming here to buy stones today too?"
Lin Qingya frowned slightly, "Brother-in-law, let me tell you, this gambling on stones is a scam. If we don't understand, we'd better not give money to others."
After hearing what the two of them said, Ji Chen smiled calmly and said, "I know a little bit about this, so I'll just take a look. If I see something I really like, I'll consider buying it."
In fact, coming here today may not necessarily yield anything.
Just now, Ji Chen scanned the stones on several stalls. They were either artificial imitations or made of ordinary materials with no purchasing value.
After hearing Ji Chen's answer, the two of them didn't say anything else. They were soon attracted by the various stones on the stall. Since they were already there, these stones looked quite unique, so it wouldn't hurt to take a look at them.
So, the three of them would look at this stall and stop in front of that stall from time to time, and occasionally they would go to the door of a larger gambling stone shop to watch the gambling stone cutting on the spot.
However, after looking at two or three companies that cut stones for more than ten people, five or six of them lost all their money, and the others did not make any profit. The only person who made the most money only made 30,000.
But even so, people who gamble on stones are still very excited and never get tired of it.
After a while, Ji Chen brought Bai Lianwan and Lin Qingya to the door of a gambling stone shop called Bai Yitang.
At this moment, there are hundreds of people gathered in front of the store, and more than a dozen raw stones of different sizes are arranged on the table and on the ground at the door.
The smaller ones were placed side by side on the table, the smallest being only the size of a fist.
The largest one is more than one meter long.
At this moment, a shopkeeper was standing behind a wooden table, holding up a palm-sized rock with a skin ranging from grayish white to deep red. The thinner layers of weathered skin had been weathered away, revealing a rich, pure green rock. He said, "Everyone, I'm sure you've all seen it, right? This rock has the potential to be a priceless rock in our shop today. This color is very close to imperial green! I won't waste any more time, but the starting price for this rock in my hand is 450,000!"
Many jade gambling enthusiasts originally stopped just for this stone. After all, if the entire piece of jade inside is really the top-grade imperial green jadeite, this piece can at least soar to at least tens of millions!
So when everyone heard the shopkeeper's words, they all rushed to bid!
"I'll give you 500,000!"
"I'll give you 550,000!"
"I'll give you 700,000!"
Amid the excited bidding, Ji Chen's gaze merely glanced at the stone in front of the shopkeeper, then shifted to the pile of raw stones on the ground. He examined the yellow-skinned stone, which was more than one meter long and looked like a large potato, carefully, his eyebrows slightly raised.
It seems that this trip today will yield considerable gains.
