At the time, he felt that the young man's expression was stiff, giving off a rigid feeling.
I didn't think much of it, but I never expected to see him in the middle of the night.
Could it be because a lot of materials were sold in their shop today, and the owner is trying to cheat them out of their money?
That's not right. The materials were transported away a long time ago, so he won't find anything now.
The man entered the suite and searched around the living room in the dark, seemingly looking for something, but he couldn't find it.
He then walked straight to Liu Yihang's room.
He also cautiously pulled out a long dagger and held it in his hand.
With a click, the door opened.
When he pushed open the door, he hid Liu Yihang behind it.
As soon as he stepped inside, Liu Yihang came out from behind the door and punched him in the stomach.
Caught off guard by someone behind him, the man was sent flying, his dagger falling to the ground where Liu Yihang picked it up.
The man in black quickly got up and started fighting with Liu Yihang. They went back and forth, neither giving an inch.
Taking advantage of his eyesight, Liu Yihang could see clearly even in the darkness, and seized the opportunity to turn the man's knife around and hold it to his own neck.
The man struggled but could not break free. Instead, the dagger slashed his neck, and blood flowed down his neck.
My heart sank instantly.
"Sister Miao, come out quickly."
Upon hearing this, Miao Cuihua crawled out from under the bed.
When the light was turned on, Liu Yihang was seen holding a dagger to a man in black clothes and a mask.
A bloody welt was bleeding from the man's neck, a horrifying sight.
She forced herself to remain calm, picked up the phone, and called the front desk.
After finishing the call, Liu Yihang gestured for her to remove the man's mask.
"It's you?" Miao Cuihua naturally recognized the man. "Did Boss Hua send you?"
I've worked with Mr. Hua many times before, and nothing like what happened today has ever happened.
She was a little scared, but luckily Liu Yihang was there today.
The young man turned his face away and remained silent.
"Behave yourself, didn't you hear me? Confess now!" Liu Yihang nudged him with his knee.
The man glared at Liu Yihang: "Kill me or torture me, it's up to you. I take responsibility for my own actions; it has nothing to do with my boss."
He does have a bit of spirit.
Soon, the hotel's security and management personnel, fully armed, rushed up.
The man was taken away and handed over to the local police station.
Liu Yihang also breathed a sigh of relief.
They couldn't fall asleep again for the rest of the night.
Although Miao Cuihua looked rather unwell, she remained calm and composed throughout the entire process.
The next morning, after breakfast, Miao Cuihua went to a private party as planned.
It's a gathering organized by bigwigs in the jade industry, so safety is definitely guaranteed.
The meeting's content is definitely related to tomorrow's jade exchange conference, and a nobody like Liu Yihang isn't qualified to attend.
So Liu Yihang doesn't need to accompany her the whole time today. He just needs to take her there and then pick her up in the evening.
Niu Ben and Liu Yihang are both free to do whatever they want today.
The two became friends after a fight.
Niu Ben enthusiastically told Liu Yihang everything he knew and even took him to Shijie.
This street is similar to the one yesterday, mainly consisting of stalls selling raw stones. However, they are all small vendors, and the overall price of the stones is much cheaper than on yesterday's street, but the quality of the goods varies.
It's perfect for finding bargains and making big profits with small investments.
The place that Niu Ben introduced this time really resonated with Liu Yihang.
There are also some shops selling antiques and handicrafts.
It's more like a place for tourists.
Liu Yihang didn't mind and started browsing through the shops one by one, since he had a whole day to spare anyway.
The exchange conference starts tomorrow, and I'll be following Miao Cuihua the whole time, so I won't have many opportunities to go out and explore.
With use over the past few days, the X-ray vision seems to have become more flexible. It used to take at least ten seconds to penetrate the stone skin, which looked very strenuous. Now, it doesn't require any lead time and can see through easily.
Therefore, Liu Yihang hardly needed to spend any time; he could just glance at each section.
The quality of the stones here is indeed poor. In the first shop, Liu Yihang only saw two or three pieces of green jadeite, and they were the worst kind of bean-type jadeite.
It wasn't worth much, so he didn't even bother mentioning it and just skipped over it.
He strongly suspected that the shop owner was sourcing scrap materials specifically for this purpose, buying them for 100 yuan and selling them for 1,000 yuan, making a huge profit.
However, it was clear that there were very few suckers; everyone just looked at it, shook their heads, and left.
Liu Yihang felt that if everyone was at this level, his idea of finding a bargain today might not come to fruition.
The second shop was an antique shop. The owner was a little old man with gray hair. He sat leisurely in a recliner, rocking back and forth, looking very content.
Liu Yihang was drawn in by his leisurely demeanor and stepped into the store to take a look.
Because he copied the master Xiang Yizhai's appraisal, his current level of antique appraisal is definitely top-notch.
After a cursory glance, he shook his head and smiled helplessly, thinking that at least some of the items would be genuine, but it turned out that almost all of them were fake.
The only genuine items are from recent times and are worthless.
It seems there's really nothing good on this street.
Liu Yihang walked out with a hint of disappointment.
Because there were many items in the store, he accidentally kicked something.
The old man seemed to have been waiting for him there, and suddenly rolled over and sat up.
"Young man, don't go, you kicked my things."
Liu Yihang never intended to leave.
He bent down to pick up what he had kicked.
It turned out to be a Guanyin statue, quite heavy, with a good first impression of its quality, though the edges were somewhat mottled.
"You kicked my Guanyin statue and broke it, you have to pay for it!" the old man said unreasonably.
He hadn't been able to open for business in a long time. He had several mouths to feed, and business at the shop was terrible. He could only make a little money to survive by scamming whoever he could.
Liu Yihang became increasingly alarmed as he looked at the statue; it seemed to have quite a history.
"Sir, how would you like to compensate me?"
The old man's face flushed slightly. He opened his mouth, a hint of shyness in his eyes, and held up two fingers: "At least two thousand! This Guanyin statue of mine is an antique, and you've ruined it. Look, it's all chipped here."
Liu Yihang felt a sense of relief; the clothes on his back were soaked with the cold sweat he had just broken out in.
He had thought the old man knew the value of Guanyin, but today he was in deep trouble.
It turned out that the old man was just bluffing; he probably wanted to scam some money to spend.
However, he was really unlucky. Of all the fakes in the room, he had to choose a genuine item to deceive himself, and he didn't even know the value of this Guanyin statue.
Liu Yihang didn't know whether to say he was lucky or unlucky.
"Okay, I'll pay for it!"
