Chapter 1660 - 1655: Who Set the Trap for Whom?

Hearing Song Wen’s deep voice, Song Yiyi laughed heartily and quickly said, "Uncle Song, you must be joking with me! You should know that the performance of that jade raw stone is extremely poor. We’ve had many people look at it, and almost everyone guaranteed there would be no jade inside."

After saying this, Song Yiyi heard a more somber response from the other end, "Such guarantees don’t count! Alright, it’s already happened. You come back first, let’s solve the swapped jade raw stone and take a look!"

"Alright! I’ll go back right away!"

After hanging up the phone, Song Yiyi frowned slightly...

"Could it be that he’s really playing dumb to catch a tiger?"

Muttering this to himself, Song Yiyi recalled every scene he’d had with Hu Xiaobei, feeling as if Hu Xiaobei had always seemed calm as if everything was under control...

...

"Brother Song, what are you thinking! Why so serious?"

The person driving glanced at Song Yiyi and curiously asked...

Hearing this curious inquiry, Song Yiyi snapped back and said in a very deep voice, "Do you think it’s possible that Hu Xiaobei was playing dumb to catch a tiger before?"

The driver, not being too bright, directly asked, "Playing dumb to catch a tiger? Brother Song, what do you mean?"

"I mean, he clearly saw through our plan before but didn’t expose it!"

"Is that...is that possible?"

"I also think it’s unlikely, but thinking about it now, it’s still possible!"

"But if he did that, for what reason? Could it be the jade raw stone we sent now is better than the last one? So he went along with it?"

"If our guess is right, it is obviously because of this, but it doesn’t make sense because the performance of this jade raw stone is really weak."

"I also feel that the performance of that jade raw stone is particularly poor, so we might be scaring ourselves now!"

After thinking about it, Song Yiyi relaxed completely, "Right, he’s probably just a reckless kid who knows nothing!"

...

"You little bastard, you spent nearly ten million to buy just this one stone?"

"Exactly! Isn’t this too wasteful?"

Guo Meiyu and Han Xueyao were both astonished when they heard the price, looking at Hu Xiaobei.

Although making money is easier now, they still felt heartbroken...

After all, Hu Xiaobei spent nearly ten million, not just nearly one hundred yuan.

"Haha, this time I’ve hit the jackpot, really hit the jackpot!"

"Hit the jackpot?"

"What do you mean?"

Seeing their puzzled looks, Hu Xiaobei quickly explained, "Previously, I bought a jade raw stone from them, which looked good on the outside, but the jade inside wasn’t great. However, it was very intact, so I liked it and wanted to use it for decoration. But they probably thought that jade raw stone was precious, so they secretly swapped it out and gave me this one that looks bad."

"You mean they swapped it?"

"Yes, they swapped it!"

"Then let’s confront them!"

Seeing their anxious and angry expressions, Hu Xiaobei calmly waved his hand and quickly reassured them, "No need to confront them, the jade raw stone they swapped is even better!"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei’s words, they scrutinized the man-sized jade raw stone, "You mean this jade raw stone is better?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Hu Xiaobei laughed joyfully...

Before, knowing that Song Wen and others swapped the jade raw stone on him, Hu Xiaobei was furious, but now, he was no longer angry because he knew he had really hit the jackpot...

Happily admiring it again for a while, Hu Xiaobei carefully placed it in the room...

After setting it up, he looked at it, continuously smiling.

"Did this little bastard go crazy from excitement?"

Seeing Hu Xiaobei silly-smiling, Guo Meiyu muttered quietly.

Han Xueyao chuckled softly and said, "Unlikely, you know this little bastard’s capabilities. It’s only others who get driven crazy by him, he never gets driven crazy!"

"You’re right!"

...

While they were chatting like this, Song Yiyi, with a full smile, returned to Song Wen...

"Uncle Song, I’m back!"

The already impatient Song Wen quickly stood up, "Okay! Let’s go to the warehouse and solve the swapped jade stone!"

"Alright!"

With that, the two quickly set off...

Half an hour later, their expressions were quite unpleasant!

Because the jade raw stone previously chosen by Hu Xiaobei was completely solved, but it was just some ordinary jade...

The top part had a little bit of glass species, but the quantity was too small...

"Boss, the estimated price is out, at most it’s worth two million!"

"I know, you can leave now!"

After letting the analyst leave, Song Wen looked at Song Yiyi and said hoarsely, "Now you see? The so-called good jade raw stone we painstakingly swapped is only worth two million!"

"Uncle Song, two million, we still made over a million for free!"

Hearing this excited statement, Song Wen looked at Song Yiyi and coldly reprimanded, "Fool! Do I look like someone who cares about a million? What I care about is high-end jade. But now, after completely solving this jade raw stone, it only yielded a little bit of glass species, hardly enough to make a pair of bracelets."

"This time we messed up!"

"Messed up? It’s not just messing up; it’s absolute nonsense, and we’ve offended Master Xiaobei!"

"Uncle Song, you thought too highly of Hu Xiaobei before, I think he’s just an ordinary person!"

"Ordinary person? If he were ordinary, could he have easily cut out the only glass species in this jade raw stone with a single slice?"

"This..."

Song Yiyi had nothing to say!

Indeed!

There is only a tiny bit of glass species in the jade raw stone, yet he cut it out with one slice. This truly shows that his skills are extraordinary.

Seeing Song Yiyi speechless, he was about to say more when suddenly his phone rang.

"It’s Master Xiaobei’s call! Don’t say a word!"

After saying this, he quickly answered the phone.

"Master Xiaobei!"

Hearing him speak like this, Song Yiyi quickly moved closer, wanting to hear what Hu Xiaobei had to say...

"Boss Song, I have something I want to trouble you with!"

"What is it? Speak! As long as it’s within my capability, there’s no problem at all!"

"I want to do some stone cutting, but I don’t have the right tools here. Could you send over the Stone Cutting Machine?"

"Stone cutting?"

"Yes, the piece you gave me earlier. I feel it’s worth cutting."

"Alright, no problem, we’ll come over soon!"

"Great! I’ll be waiting for you!"

After hanging up the phone, Song Wen furrowed his brows heavily...

Song Yiyi, who had heard the entire conversation, frowned and said, "Uncle Song, what does this Hu Xiaobei mean? He intends to cut the stone?"

Nodding, Song Wen hoarsely said, "Yes! And he deliberately informed us of this, it seems he wants to slap us in the face publicly!"

"No way! The performance of that jade raw stone is so poor, if he really cuts the stone, it’ll collapse instantly. So if anyone’s going to be slapped in the face, it’ll be Hu Xiaobei, that arrogant fool!"

Hearing such cold disdain, Song Wen looked at him and sarcastically asked, "What if it doesn’t collapse? What if it increases in value?"
