Tian Chengcheng was not surprised to hear this answer, but the consequences were very serious.
She bought two pieces at random, and when they were cut open, they were all stones. The boss felt a little embarrassed.
"How about I give you one for free and you can pick any one you want."
After hearing what the boss said, Tian Chengcheng stopped picking stones and felt even more depressed.
The boss is a good person, but also a small business owner. Under such conditions, can he afford to be defrauded? If the money can be recovered, it's fine. If not, then the boss will be the one to bear the consequences. After all, it's all in the market, and it's the industry standard to buy and leave.
Once the truth that these are fake jades is revealed, the people who bought the stones will be the ones who suffer in the end.
"Boss, where did you get these stones from?"
Hearing Tian Chengcheng's words, the boss immediately looked at her twice more and said, "What's the matter, little girl? You also want to do this rough stone business? This is not easy to do. People who don't know the business can easily be cheated. Just buy a few pieces for fun."
"My family is in the stone business. We deal in high-end stones, and we are suppliers. Small shops like yours can actually purchase from us."
When the boss heard Tian Chengcheng say this, he laughed.
"I thought you were here to steal our business, but it turns out you're from a big family. Which family are you from? Why haven't I seen you before?"
"I just came here and don't know a lot of things yet, so I want to learn more."
Tian Chengcheng has a pair of clear big eyes, which are very intimidating.
The boss got excited and whispered, "They sell rough stones right in town, but they won't sell unless there's an introducer."
Tian Chengcheng immediately pricked up his ears, "Boss, could you please introduce us to someone? We can all make money together. At worst, I'll give you a discount when you buy stones in the future."
Seeing that she looked harmless, the boss agreed. "They sell it every three days, at auction. It happens to be on sale tomorrow. I'll take you there."
"Thank you, boss." Tian Chengcheng thanked him and bought five stones in one go. The boss smiled happily.
After returning, they immediately told Miao Houde about this matter.
"I've also found out. They're all in this area. It's very easy to check. I'll send someone there tomorrow. You three shouldn't go. It's too dangerous." Miao Houde did not recommend the three of them to go.
"Master Miao, you have to believe in my ability. Xingchen and Senior Brother don't have to go, but I have to go."
If the other party discovers them and prevents them from entering, she can ask Xiao Douya for help.
"No." Mu Xingchen refused directly, "You can only be with me."
Faced with huge interests, those people will definitely do crazy things. He absolutely cannot let Tian Chengcheng fall into such danger.
"You should believe me." Tian Chengcheng said.
However, Mu Xingchen remained unmoved.
"Just listen to me. Don't even think about running over there alone."
Seeing his persistence, Tian Chengcheng gave up her plan and said, "I won't go alone. I'll spend tomorrow with you guys."
The next day, Tian Chengcheng waited until the evening before the boss arrived. Yang Chongming could still disguise himself, but Tian Chengcheng and Mu Xingchen found it difficult to disguise themselves due to height restrictions. They could only wear a traditional costume and apply a thick layer of sunscreen on their faces.
Tian Chengcheng even put on some makeup, and when she went out, even Mu Xingchen didn't recognize her.
"Fubao?"
"It's me."
Hearing the familiar voice, Mu Xingchen said nothing more. Along the way, Yang Chongming looked at Tian Chengcheng curiously from time to time, "Junior sister, you are too amazing. If you hadn't spoken, I really wouldn't have recognized you."
Tian Chengcheng smiled and said, "Brother, please keep quiet for a while. If things don't work out, just wait outside to meet us."
"No, that won't work. It's too dangerous to let you two go in!" Yang Chongming disagreed.
Tian Chengcheng thought about it and decided it would be safer if someone was outside. "Brother, just listen to me and stay outside. What if something really happens inside? It's better to stay outside. There's someone to pick us up. We're all inside. We don't know what's going on outside and we're worried."
After Tian Chengcheng's persuasion, Yang Chongming finally agreed.
After the car bumped along a mountain road, it arrived at a hill south of the town. After walking about two kilometers, it saw a fenced-off area called a mining area, but it was obvious that this was where they counterfeited the raw stones.
When the guard saw two children coming, he immediately became alert and asked, "We are bringing two children here?"
"Old customers, we are all one of our own. Don't worry, there will be no problem," said the boss.
After hearing what the boss said, Tian Chengcheng felt a little guilty. I'm sorry, boss!
However, this also strengthened her determination to catch this group of people in one fell swoop.
The three of them went in and found themselves in an ordinary cave. There were many workers inside carrying stones out, but they were wary of strangers and were observing the three of them while transporting stones.
Fortunately, they arrived at a hall safely. There were already quite a few people inside, and Tian Chengcheng also saw Miao Houde and his men.
Time passed minute by minute, and the auction time finally arrived.
They placed the stones one by one in a display cabinet. They were sold in batches. If you wanted to buy, you could buy a batch of ten stones. The starting price was 20,000 yuan, and the highest bidder won.
Tian Chengcheng did not participate in the bidding, but was discussing with Xiao Douya.
"Is it fake?"
"This batch is normal stones."
Batch after batch of stones were auctioned, but not a single batch of them were fake. Tian Chengcheng's brows were almost twisted into knots, and Mu Xingchen's face also looked unhappy.
Because they are raw stones, everyone can go and visit them as much as they want. He did not find any problems with these stones.
Miao Houde also didn't see the problem.
However, the auction was about to come to an end. After weighing the pros and cons, they decided to buy a batch and leave so that they could come here again next time.
However, just as the batch of materials came up, Xiao Douya spoke up, "Host, there is something wrong with this batch of materials."
Tian Chengcheng immediately became alert and went over to check, and sure enough, she saw traces of artificial chiseling.
Very good, with this batch of stones, it is enough to prove that these goods flowed out from here. As long as we find the operator behind the scenes, we will get the answer.
Miao Houde raised the price all the way up, eventually buying the stones for 35,000 yuan. As he paid, he made a request, "Can I meet the boss? I want to discuss a bigger deal. If possible, I can take over the entire mine."
The man originally didn't want to pay attention to him, but the conditions he offered were really tempting.
"Okay, I'll go talk to our boss right away." The man said, and quickly went to the back to invite his boss.
