Urban Pirates

Chapter 61
Wu Sanpang suggested that he first rent out a few houses around the hotel to earn some rent, and keep the hotel open for the time being.

Seeing Chu Tianluo's somewhat disappointed expression, he suddenly thought of something, and immediately told Chu Tianluo.

"This weekend, there will be a jade exhibition in Changsha." Wu Sanpang said to her with a smile on his face.

Chu Tianluo narrowed his eyes and looked at him: "It's fine if you don't give me financial assistance, but you still want me to steal jade?"

Wu Sanpang smiled awkwardly: "It's not that Uncle won't help you. I really can't afford much money these days. As for the jade exhibition, I'm not asking you to steal it."

"What do you want me to do?" Chu Tianluo was puzzled.

Wu Sanpang's eyes lit up: "The jade exhibition will not only exhibit a lot of precious jade and jadeite, but also some rough stones, that is, rough jade stones. There is a lot of mystery in it."

It turned out that Wu Sanpang wanted Chu Tianluo to take a gamble.

The so-called stone gambling means that stone gamblers use their own experience to estimate its price based on their guesses and judgments based on the performance on the shell of the rough jadeite.

No one can really see what is going on inside the rough stone at a glance, even with the advanced technology today, it is impossible to do it, this is a very risky investment, so there is a saying in the stone gambling world " Immortals can hardly break an inch of jade."

After the stone you bought, after you cut it open, there may be a piece of high-quality emerald with good color and water, which is worth millions at once, or there may be nothing in it, and it will become worthless in an instant.

The risk of betting on rocks is extremely high. That's how "one knife makes you poor and one knife makes you rich". A stone may make a person rich or bankrupt overnight.

Chu Tianluo has also heard about this business. This thing is a popular high-end jade trading method in Yunnan and Myanmar, and now a stone gambling culture has formed.

It is said that at the beginning of the 20th century, a group of experts in Tengchong, Yunnan became famous because of betting on stones. There was a man named Mao Yingde who became rich because he won the "Mao Family's Great Jade". Even after this guy died, the coffin cover was made of Thousands of pairs of high-grade jade bracelets are tied together.

Most people may not have heard of these things, but there is one thing that can be said to be known to all ages, that is, it has been mentioned in elementary school Chinese textbooks, and that is the famous Heshibi.

It is the most famous gambling stone in Chinese history. The person who discovered it was called Bian He. In Chu State 2000 years ago, a man named Bian He presented it to two kings of Chu State. He couldn't see it at all, thinking that he was being deceived, so he cut off Bian He's left and right legs one after another.

It wasn't until the later King Wen of Chu asked a jade craftsman to cut open the uncut jade that he got the piece of precious jade, which was named "Heshibi" along with it.

Later, He's Bi was owned by King Zhao Hui, and King Qin Zhao was willing to exchange fifteen cities for this gem, which shows the high value of He's Bi.

Let’s talk about modern times. In 2012, Wuhan also held the first Jade Gambling Stone Cultural Festival, exhibiting six tons of Burmese rough jadeite. 400 million.

Chu Tianluo also went to see them at that time. Although he didn't know much about these things, they seemed to be very valuable.

There were hundreds of small rough stones at the exhibition site, and Chu Tianluo secretly took a few back, but after finding the master to cut them, there was nothing.

He is not a gambler, and it is just for fun, and he is not very interested in gambling stones. Hearing Wu Sanpang mention it now, Chu Tianluo felt that he could give it a try.

Gambling on stones is nothing more than betting on whether the rough stones are treasures or scum. The gods gave him a sensory force, which can come in handy.

Wu Sanpang didn't know that he had this ability. At most, what he thought was that Chu Tianluo would go in and touch a few smaller rough stones and come back. If he was not sure, he could earn tens of millions. If he had the opportunity, he would directly steal the jadeite. Jade is not bad, but the risk is a bit higher.

On Friday, Chu Tianluo was going to school to pick Wu Jinxuan home, because Wu Sanpang said that he would also take her to see the exhibition then.

Wu Jinxuan's Friday class lasted until after six o'clock in the afternoon, but Chu Tianluo left after lunch because he wanted to see Susan. As far as he knew, Susan didn't have to go to class on Friday afternoon.

It's been two days since I came back, and I haven't told her yet. Chu Tianluo also felt a little embarrassed, bought a set of expensive high-end cosmetics in the specialty store, and then went to Susan's house.

He didn't call to tell her in advance, just to see if he could surprise her.

Sure enough, the moment Su Shan opened the door and saw Chu Tianluo, she was stunned, then hugged Chu Tianluo, and bit him hard on the shoulder.

"I haven't heard from you for so long, and the phone was turned off when I called you. I thought... thought you disappeared..." Susan's eyes were a little red.

"Hey, it's just that there are too many things to do, so I'm busy, so I'm going back to Changsha." Chu Tianluo said as he walked into the house.

"I bought you something, let's see if you like it." He put the gift on the sofa.

Susan didn't say anything, walked over quickly and hugged him from behind, motionless.

"Stay with me tonight." After a long time, she opened her mouth.

Chu Tianluo looked distressed: "I have to take Jinxuan home..."

Susan let go of her arms and stood in front of him. Although she hoped that this man could accompany her more, she still nodded and said nothing.

"You...you won't leave Changsha again, right?" She saw Chu Tianluo sitting on the sofa, so she also sat next to him and asked.

"Probably not. I plan to open a hotel in Changsha, and I will make money from it in the future." Chu Tianluo smiled slightly.

Susan showed a happy look on her face, and suddenly slapped her forehead: "I even forgot to pour you a glass of water."

Just about to stand up, but was pulled by Chu Tianluo.

"What water do you need to pour? Isn't there a ready-made one?" After speaking, he pulled Susan into his arms and kissed her directly.

Su Shan froze for a moment, her face flushed quickly, and then she closed her eyes and kissed Chu Tianluo. The touch of her lips made her mind go blank for a moment, and she only wanted to enjoy the tenderness of this moment wholeheartedly.

Chu Tianluo's hands wandered dishonestly, and he used force a few times from time to time.

Susan enjoyed this feeling very much, and made an indistinct sound from time to time.

Just when the two were forgetting themselves, there was a sudden knock on the door in a hurry.

Susan frowned slightly, and wanted to ignore it, but the knock on the door became louder and louder.

"I'll go and open the door." She smoothed her messy hair, then stood up, straightened her clothes, and walked towards the door.

"It's you!? What are you doing here!"

Susan's angry voice came from the door.

Chu Tianluo looked back quickly, and frowned immediately, he also knew the person who came in, it was Susan's ex-husband - Ouyang Li.

"Why, the ex-husband can't even take a look?" Ouyang Li held a cigarette in his mouth, and hooked Susan's chin with his right hand.

"Get lost! I don't welcome you here!" Susan slapped his hand away, and was about to drive him out.

"Tsk tsk tsk, at least we had friendship before, how could you do this?" Ouyang Li walked into the living room while squinting and smiling, regardless of Susan's obstruction.

"It's you!?" When Ouyang Li saw Chu Tianluo sitting on the sofa, his expression changed drastically.

Chu Tianluo took a look at him. This guy is still dressed like a man, and he smokes high-quality cigarettes. He wondered if he had some shit luck?
"You bastard!" Ouyang Li threw the cigarette butt to the ground, and then rushed towards Chu Tianluo.

Susan hurriedly stood in front of him and stared at him, shouting, "Ouyang Li! What are you going to do!"

Ouyang Li seemed to understand something, his face was very ugly, he stared at Chu Tianluo gloomyly and then at Susan: "Okay, very good, you couple!"

"Slap!" Susan slapped Ouyang Li on the face.

Ouyang Li got angry on the spot: "You bitch! You actually asked someone to steal from me? I haven't dealt with you yet, how dare you fucking hit me?"

After speaking, he raised his hand and was about to hit Susan in the face.

"What is a man who beats a woman?" Chu Tianluo jumped up from the sofa, rushed to Ouyang Li and grabbed his wrist forcefully.

Ouyang's face was ugly, and he found that he couldn't move the hand grasped by the other party.

"Get out!" Chu Tianluo raised his hand and swung Ouyang Li back several steps.

"You!" Ouyang Li supported the table behind with both hands to stabilize his figure, staring at Chu Tianluo with burning eyes.

"Tell you, kid, you're done, I'm fucking rich now! You're dead!" Ouyang Li gritted his teeth and said hello to the outer door. Soon, four men with strong backs ran in. .

"Brother Li, what's the matter!?" All four men stood beside him.

"You...have gotten rich?" Susan asked with a puzzled expression, frowning.

"Hey." Ouyang Li showed a smug smile on his face: "Bitch, can't you think of it? Are you still hoping that I will die soon? I'm not afraid to tell you that I won the 1000 million grand prize, not only have I paid off my debts, Who the hell is not accepting me in Dole Street now?"

Susan was taken aback for a moment, she didn't expect such a thing to happen.

"Damn, I'm blind." Chu Tianluo said immediately.

"What the hell do you mean!?" Ouyang Li was full of confidence now.

Chu Tianluo shook his head: "I said God is blind to let a scum like you win such a big prize."

"Bastard..." Ouyang Li's face became distorted, and he immediately ordered to the four big men around him: "Catch that kid and beat him to death."

"No!" Su Shan panicked and wanted to stand in front of Chu Tianluo.

"It's all right." Chu Tianluo supported Susan's shoulders and gently pushed her aside, then let her sit on the sofa.

"Just sit here and don't do anything, be good." Chu Tianluo showed a gentle smile and stroked Susan's hair.

"You should be gentle with women, you know? Brother scum." Chu Tianluo straightened his waist and pointed his middle finger at Ouyang Li.

Ouyang Li was so angry that he was so angry that he slapped the people around him and yelled, "Shoot this blind bastard to death!"
