Chapter 1645 - 1640: Digging Your Own Pit and Jumping In?

Earlier, Zhou Dachuan wanted to gradually lead Hu Xiaobei into a trap he had set up.

But now it seems unnecessary, because Hu Xiaobei has already jumped into the pit he dug for himself.

Manager Tai sensed the excitement of Zhou Dachuan and Zhou Lei!

He shook his head gently...

He knew what the two of them were thinking, but he understood that these two were just overthinking it.

Because Hu Xiaobei was definitely not going to be the one to suffer; if anyone would, it would be them.

...

Hu Xiaobei inhaled her faint fragrance and curiously said, "By the way, I don’t know your name yet!"

She glanced at Hu Xiaobei, her lips curved slightly, "Sir, just call me Xiaoyun."

Hearing the soft response, Hu Xiaobei looked down, "Xiaoyun? You’re not small at all!"

Detecting the teasing in Hu Xiaobei’s words, a hint of shyness flashed in her eyes. Soon, she softly said, "Sir, let’s not waste time, let’s go for a walk. I want to see you show off your skills."

This woman named Xiaoyun was quickly urging Hu Xiaobei...

Because she wanted to see if Hu Xiaobei really had the ability. If he didn’t, she wouldn’t waste her precious time on him.

"Alright! Let’s go!"

Hu Xiaobei agreed.

As Hu Xiaobei spoke, Zhou Dachuan, Zhou Lei, and Manager Tai quickly appeared beside him.

This slightly surprised the woman named Xiaoyun...

Earlier, she thought Hu Xiaobei was just a tagalong for the three of them.

Now it seemed like she had been mistaken.

Because now it looked like the three of them were taking cues from Hu Xiaobei.

"Looks like he really does have some tricks up his sleeve!"

Muttering this to herself, the woman named Xiaoyun moved closer to Hu Xiaobei, holding onto his arm more tightly.

Feeling this, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Hu Xiaobei’s mouth.

Hu Xiaobei understood that a woman like her would gauge people based on their capabilities, so he had to show enough strength. Otherwise, she would soon find a reason to leave.

...

The market was very large, with over a hundred shops trading in jade raw stones.

At this time, quite a few people were gathering at the entrance of each shop.

But there weren’t many actual buyers, as everyone was carefully examining the goods.

Shop owners weren’t in a hurry either; instead, they prepared snacks like sunflower seeds and fruit for each inspecting guest.

"Interesting!"

While Hu Xiaobei muttered this, he heard Zhou Lei softly saying, "Master Bei, let’s first go to a shop I’m familiar with. Their raw stones there are quite good."

"Alright!"

Hu Xiaobei readily agreed...

For Hu Xiaobei, it didn’t really matter which store they went to.

Because he didn’t know much, he only relied on the special ability of his eyes.

Hearing Hu Xiaobei’s decisive agreement, Zhou Lei sneered and quickly led the way.

Soon, they arrived at stall number 088.

The stall wasn’t large, and there were not many stones for sale.

But it was still quite popular...

Looking at the boss weighing over two hundred pounds, Hu Xiaobei found it interesting.

As he continued scrutinizing, he saw Zhou Lei quickly approaching.

"Fatty Brother, remember me?"

The over-two-hundred-pound fatty quickly turned his head, his eyes brightened, "Oh, brother, it’s you! Are you here to drum up business for your old pal today?"

"Of course! Not only did I come myself, but I also brought two friends. So give us some face, okay?"

Hearing Zhou Lei’s words, his smile widened, "Haha, no problem. Your friends are my friends! Feel free to look around. Pick any stone, and I’ll give you a discount. How does a 10% discount sound?"

"10% off is great, thank you, brother!"

"No problem!"

After saying this, the fatty began to scrutinize...

Hu Xiaobei sensed he was being glanced at several times.

"Looks like he also dug a pit for me!"

Hu Xiaobei squinted...

Holding onto Hu Xiaobei’s shoulder, Xiaoyun furrowed her brows slightly...

She had been around for many years and knew that the raw stones this fatty sold were of poor quality.

So logically, that person shouldn’t have brought Hu Xiaobei here.

But in reality, he did bring Hu Xiaobei here.

"It seems their relationship isn’t as good as I thought!"

Making this judgment, she looked at Hu Xiaobei with bright eyes.

She wanted to know whether this young man could break out of this situation.

If he could, then he truly had some skills!

And if he couldn’t, then there was really no point in wasting time on him.

...

While Xiaoyun was pondering, Zhou Lei came over, "Master Bei, I’m really familiar with the owner here. You can look around freely now, pick anything you like!"

"Okay!"

Hu Xiaobei gave Zhou Lei, who was standing beside him, a deep look and began to carefully select.

When Zhou Lei noticed that Hu Xiaobei had walked away, his eye twitched!

He didn’t know why, but when Hu Xiaobei stared at him just now, he felt like his whole soul was trembling.

"Damn it, could it be that he saw through everything? That’s impossible, impossible!"

As soon as this thought popped up, he quickly dismissed it.

In his view, Hu Xiaobei couldn’t possibly be that smart. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been fooled by him earlier.

"Senior brother, senior brother!"

"Hm?"

Seeing Zhou Lei still a bit distracted, Zhou Dachuan frowned, "What are you thinking? Didn’t you hear me talking just now?"

"No, I was just daydreaming. What did you say?"

"I asked what we should do now? Just watch like this?"

"Yes, just watch! We’ll see how many tricks Hu Xiaobei really has. Let’s see if he’s really pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger."

When it came to Hu Xiaobei, he had a slight sense of fear!

So he was now prepared to watch closely to see if Hu Xiaobei really had the ability.

Hearing his senior brother’s words, Zhou Dachuan frowned but said nothing...

...

"That person actually picked that woman named Xiaoyun!"

"Seems like he has some tricks up his sleeve!"

"Indeed!"

At this moment, because of the perfect woman next to Hu Xiaobei, many people started to notice him...

They wanted to see if Hu Xiaobei truly had the ability...

Hu Xiaobei knew that he was now the focus of attention for everyone.

He didn’t mind but walked over to the first jade raw stone.

It was a stone that looked quite unremarkable, weighing about a hundred pounds.

If it were placed outside, Hu Xiaobei wouldn’t spare it a second glance, as it was really ordinary.

"So this is Gambling Stone, really puts your eyesight to the test!"

Muttering this, Hu Xiaobei began to gently touch it...

As Hu Xiaobei made his move, everyone’s attention turned to the stone he was touching...

Very soon, everyone frowned slightly...

Because the performance of this raw stone was quite poor...

Generally, raw stones containing jade would have some exterior indications...

But this raw stone had no signs at all, suggesting that there was probably nothing inside...
