Chapter 877: They’ve Been Targeted

He withdrew his gaze, his heartbeat quickening.

The boy’s eyes made him feel flustered.

"Pa!"

Sang Ziqiu’s back was slapped hard by Old Xin, who was standing behind him.

Old Xin’s face was full of an excited smile. He leaned close to his ear and lowered his voice, saying, "I’ve already sent the Red Jade to the back. Kid, you really hit the jackpot today!"

Sang Ziqiu also felt that he had met a benefactor today.

Business in the family had been bad recently; he’d come here to try his luck, and hadn’t expected such a huge surprise.

He wanted to personally thank Gu Jin. He had clearly seen that Old Xin only decided to transfer the Red Jade to him after talking with her.

In his heart, he had already decided that the woman whose features he couldn’t see clearly, but whose bearing was extraordinary, was his benefactor.

However, that sharp gaze from the boy sitting beside the woman just now dispelled his urge to step forward and speak.

Sang Ziqiu handed the four-million check to Old Xin, asking him to convey his thanks, and left the venue under the escort of the bodyguards sent by his family.

The value of the Red Jade made him have no choice but to be cautious.

Getting such a sizable piece of Red Jade by sheer luck today was already his biggest gain. After this, he decided not to be greedy and chose to carefully ship the Red Jade back home.

New rough stones were quickly brought up onto the stone-cutting platform.

With the previous Purple Jade and now the Red Jade, the crowd didn’t thin out; if anything, it grew.

And this time, once again, everyone was stunned.

It was Red Jade again. Though not as large as the previous piece, it was still about the size of an adult’s fist.

Facing these top-grade jades being cut out one after another, the onlookers had grown somewhat numb, yet still couldn’t hide their excitement.

The Clear Water Blue Jadeite and Yellow Jade that were cut out afterward made everyone both envious and jealous.

Their hearts no longer pounded with that initial shock, but their eyes still shone with expectant light.

These five top-grade pieces of jade that had come out were already the biggest buzz of this year’s trade fair.

Chances are, after today, many more people would be drawn here to try their luck.

Old Xin had known that top-grade rough had an eighty to ninety percent chance of producing jade, but he had never imagined such supreme quality jadeite would come out.

He was both excited and proud at heart.

After today, until the trade fair ended, their booth would be packed with visitors.

It was just a pity that the boss wasn’t here, or he could have properly gotten acquainted with Gu Jin and the others.

Thinking back on that piece of rough Gu Jin had first set her sights on at the auction, Old Xin couldn’t help but start to look forward to it.

If it caught her eye, it had to be something exceptional.

By the time all five rough stones were fully cut, it was already afternoon.

There were still several hours to go before the auction of the piece Gu Jin had taken a fancy to.

Qiu Qianghai stood up and suggested, "Are you hungry? How about we go out and grab something to eat?"

"Sure—"

Gu Jin really was feeling hungry.

An Mingji didn’t say anything, but by standing up, he had already made his stance clear.

The three of them left the trade fair under the protection of Allen and the others.

None of them were ordinary people; they could clearly sense a few unfriendly, calculating gazes on their backs.

Once outside the trade fair, Qiu Qianghai stretched his arms and sighed, "Looks like we won’t be getting any peace after this."

Gu Jin and An Mingji heard the deeper meaning in his words.

The former’s beautiful face broke into an unrestrained smile as she said domineeringly, "As long as they’ve got the guts to come, we’ll teach them a lesson in minutes."

Qiu Qianghai chuckled teasingly, "I’m actually feeling a bit sorry for them. What’s that about?"

He thought those people eyeing Gu Jin and An Mingji really had no idea how to pick their targets.

They saw how young they were and got greedy ideas, not knowing that their strength was more than enough to wipe out a whole Nanmian.
