The stall owner is most wary of this kind of knowledgeable person.
He also knew that it was a stone, but if every stone was jade, wouldn't that be a loss? Of course, this was just his opinion.
"Where did you come from, old man? They've already made their choice, it has nothing to do with you!"
"Get out of here right now and don't disturb me while I'm doing my business. Do you understand?"
The stall owner was grimacing, trying to get people to take the food away with his ferocity.
Many people around also blamed Mr. Li for meddling in other people's business.
Someone said, "Old man, do you understand the rules? This is all about gambling. If everything could produce jade, wouldn't we all be rich?"
"That's right! This old man is going too far."
The two young men listened and hesitated again. They were thinking that the two pieces of jade were for sale.
Everyone thought that someone like Mr. Li could not stand the teasing and would just leave after a few words!
But they misunderstood.
Standing in front of them was the heir of the Li family, who knew much more about the rules of antiques than they did.
"You said you've been setting up a stall for decades? Which year did you start?" Old Master Li pushed the man away and stood straight on the stall.
As Mr. Li's voice became more resonant, the stall owner couldn't help but feel guilty. He said this just to attract more customers and make more money.
His eyes darted around, "What does this have to do with you?"
"It really has something to do with me!" Old Master Li picked up the stones on the stall. "Just because you're selling stones casually, I'm going to take care of it!"
"Aren't these all stones?"
"What does this old man mean? We've been tricked!"
Most of the people who are attracted to gambling on stones are not insiders. After all, they are just watching the fun and wasting money. If they really want to know whether they are being cheated, they don’t have the experience to do so.
"Don't talk nonsense." The stall owner was extremely anxious. He had finally set up a stall, but it was smashed by this old man. Where could he go to cheat people out of money?
"What evidence do you have?" He saw that the old man was just making trouble, so he quickly produced evidence to make his point.
"Yeah? What evidence do you have?" The onlookers started to make a fuss again.
Mr. Li sneered and raised the stone in his hand. "Isn't this evidence?"
He pointed at the stall and said, "There's only one piece of jade in this bag. It's full of cracks. It's the lowest quality."
"In short, there's not even enough money to buy this stone."
"You are slandering me." The stall owner was exposed and struggled with red eyes. His hands and feet were shaking and he wanted to run away.
Mr. Li hates people who disrupt the industry the most. The antique circle is already chaotic, and with these people adding water to the mix, who knows what others will say about them.
"I'll smash all these stones, and everyone will know what's going on." Mr. Li did what he said and picked up the stones immediately.
"Pay me compensation." The stall owner never missed any opportunity to ask for money.
Mr. Li raised his eyebrows and said, "Want to make a bet with me? If I find the stone with jade, you get out of here immediately."
The stall owner shuddered, he completely understood that he had met a god!
But he was already trapped here, with so many people watching around him that he had no way to get off the stage.
With no other options, the stall owner had to try his luck. He placed the stone in a very hidden place, and the old man would definitely not be able to see it.
"You go look for it! I'll see how long it will take you to find it." He spoke confidently, and then was slapped in the face the next second.
Mr. Li casually searched and found the jade. With a snap, the stone shattered instantly.
"Did you see it? It's cracked. It's not even good enough to make a bead. It's just trash."
As soon as the words fell, there was an uproar in the audience.
The stall owner's face was smashed to pieces. Many people rushed over to ask for a refund, but he refused and was soon caught and beaten.
Mr. Li retired after accomplishing his mission and walked away gracefully with his hands behind his back.
This is the entrance to the alley.
Chu Jie grabbed the old man and said, "Old man? Do you remember me? Xiujun's classmate."
"Chu Jie." Old Master Li still remembered.
When they were at the seaside, Gu Qingming was seriously ill and they came to visit him. They talked a few words at that time and they knew each other.
"Right, right, right!" Chu Jie excitedly shook Mr. Li's hand. "You're amazing! I was watching the whole thing. How did you see through such a pile of rocks with your naked eyes?"
"What are you talking about?" Old Master Li waved his hand. "That man's behavior was so clumsy and stupid. I just told him that I knew there was only one piece of jade, but he still insisted on gambling with me. Isn't this just asking for trouble?"
"And more." Mr. Li talked endlessly about jade, "The stones he chose..."
Since going to the countryside, Mr. Li has never been exposed to this industry, but even so, he still speaks fluently when talking about these professional knowledge.
Chu Jie listened carefully for an hour and gained a great enlightenment.
"That's amazing." He couldn't help but say.
Mr. Li coughed. "It's just some experience, nothing special."
"You are a modest old man. Just based on your experience, you can make many industry giants pale in comparison to you." Chu Jie praised.
Mr. Li sighed, "It's all over!"
What's the point of saying it's inferior or not? He won't be involved in this industry anymore, so it's all just a joke.
Seeing that Mr. Li looked worried, Chu Jie hesitated to ask any further questions, so he politely instructed, "It's getting dark, how about I take you home?"
"No, I have something else to do." Mr. Li refused.
He actually wanted to find a friend.
"I'll go with you." Chu Jie was worried. He had heard that Mr. Li had been ill and had a near-death experience. With his body, he couldn't withstand the fatigue.
Old Master Li had a good opinion of the young man Chu Jie, and thinking that since he was in the archaeology field, he might be able to be promoted, so he simply took him with him.
After going around in circles, the two finally arrived at the entrance of an alley.
Chu Jie looked at it and found that this place was very familiar.
"I remember there were only two families inside." One was the one called Mr. Yi, and the other family never opened the door. In short, there was no movement when they went there that day.
Mr. Li thought something was wrong. "Are you kidding? The two houses at the end of this alley belong to the same family. They are brothers who divided the property."
"But the house has been sold." Chu Jie said in surprise.
"Impossible." Old Master Li just sighed and hurried inside.
The alley was very desolate, and the chill of the night made a cool breeze blow everywhere.
Mr. Li went over to knock on the door, but saw a big lock outside the yard.
Someone in the alley ahead heard the noise and poked their head out from a bench. "That old man moved and isn't here anymore. The new family doesn't come here often either. I'm afraid you've come to the wrong place."
