Chapter 234 Highway Robbery
It was not known whether it was good luck or bad luck. In the following time, Zhong Nianyao did not see any raw stones that she liked.
Zhong Nianyao didn't care too much about this. For her, getting such a large piece of violet today was a pleasant surprise. Moreover, she had a good attitude and just went with the flow.
Seeing that it was getting late, Zhong Nianyao directly suggested, "It's getting late, let's go have lunch and then go back to the hotel to rest!"
"Okay." Lu Yichen nodded. "Will you come here again in the afternoon? Or do you want to go somewhere else?"
After thinking for a moment, Zhong Nianyao said, "Let's go somewhere else and play! Come back in a couple of days. I didn't see anyone I liked today."
Lu Yichen didn't understand how Zhong Nianyao selected the rough stones. He glanced at the piece of violet jade in his hand and sighed, "Your good taste is really rare!"
"Of course it has to be something rare to be a hit!" Zhong Nianyao shrugged and said with a smile, "But since we're in Myanmar, I must choose the right one. This violet is quite beautiful, but it doesn't seem very suitable for grandpa and grandma."
Although ice-type violet with such good water content is very good, this kind of jade is more suitable for young girls. It is indeed not suitable for older people like grandparents.
Lu Yichen understood, then smiled and said, "I think this violet suits me very well!"
Hearing Lu Yichen's suggestive words, Zhong Nianyao was stunned for a moment, then turned her head, looked at him, blinked, and said with a smile, "You've already said it so bluntly, why don't you just tell me to take you there!"
"Then thank you in advance." Lu Yichen reacted quickly and spoke directly, "I'm waiting for your amulet."
This reaction was completely beyond Zhong Nianyao's expectations. She felt a little speechless, but finally nodded and said, "Okay!"
She felt that her relationship with Lu Yichen was a little strange. They were not lovers, but they were friends, but they were somewhat ambiguous. She had no plans to find a boyfriend for the time being, and she felt quite comfortable with the way they were getting along.
Given their relationship, it was reasonable for her to give Lu Yichen a peace amulet.
Lu Yichen didn't expect that Zhong Nian Yao would agree so readily.
But then he thought about it and felt that it seemed normal. Besides, Zhong Nianyao was not a shy person and would not get entangled in such a small matter.
The two of them walked out while talking.
Before they knew it, they walked into a small alley.
Although it is noon now, this alley is sparsely populated and extremely quiet, even a little scary.
Just as the two turned around to leave, several young men with messy hair and shabby clothes walked out from the dark and surrounded them.
"Hey, where did this young couple come from?" The yellow-haired man in the lead glanced at Zhong Nianyao with amazement in his eyes. However, his attention was more on the jade in Lu Yichen's hand. "They couldn't find a good place to fall in love, but they came to our place!"
"So?" Zhong Nianyao shrugged and said nonchalantly, "We're here, so what?"
As soon as they heard Zhong Nian Yao's words, the young men burst into laughter.
The yellow-haired leader was even more arrogant, "Since you have come to our territory, you must pay protection fees."
"Protection money?"
Without waiting for the yellow-haired man to continue, Zhong Nianyao spoke directly, "What do you think, we give you this piece of violet jade as protection money?"
Everyone was stunned by this answer.
Their goal today was to get the violet jadeite. They had been eyeing these two people since they were still gambling on the stone market. Especially since they were holding such a valuable jadeite, it was really conspicuous.
However, now the other party actually offered to give them the jadeite, which made them unable to believe it.
They had done this many times before. Of course, they didn't rob just anyone. They usually targeted those who were alone and didn't seem to have any power. Although they were seeking wealth, they didn't want to sacrifice themselves.
They had never encountered anything like this before, so for a moment, they were unable to react.
"Hahaha, little girl, you're quite sensible!" The yellow-haired man quickly recovered and laughed, "Then why don't you give us the jade quickly?"
He hadn't forgotten that this piece of violet jade was worth fifteen million. This was the first time he had snatched such a piece of jade. After this operation, they would definitely make a fortune.
"Just the jade?" Zhong Nianyao raised an eyebrow. "As long as we give you the jade, you will let us go, right?"
"This man can naturally leave. As for you!" The yellow-haired man looked at Zhong Nianyao with a hint of greed and lust in his eyes, "Girl, just stay with us! I——"
"ah--"
Before he could finish his words, the yellow-haired man was kicked away. The kick was so strong that he flew straight into the wall before stopping. He then fell to the ground, and blood could not help but flow from the corner of his mouth.
The yellow-haired man only felt pain in his internal organs. He didn't know if he had internal injuries, but he was in great pain all over.
“Big Brother!”
"Brother, are you okay?"
After seeing Huangmao being knocked away, the young men quickly surrounded him, helped him up, and then asked him how he was doing now.
The yellow-haired man raised his head and looked at Lu Yichen with a fierce look in his eyes. "How dare you hit me? Humph, I was planning to give you a chance to live. But now there's a road to heaven but you refuse to take it, and there's no door to hell but you insist on breaking in. I'm telling you, don't even think about getting out alive today."
The two people in front of him were not locals, so even if something happened, no one would care. He didn't want to cause so much trouble, but now that this man dared to hit him, he would take this man's life.
