Car-hailing Driver: Rewards from Complaints

Chapter 624: Chapter 257: Hiring Mercenaries to Take Out Yang Chen and Ning Shaoqing

Ning Shaoqing waved his hand, signaling his men to keep an eye both upstairs and downstairs, to prevent anyone from the Treasure Hunting Pavilion from swapping the stones.

The staff began transporting the stones to be cut open by the stone-cutter.

Everyone watched intently.

The first stone was the one Yang Chen said contained only a thumb-sized piece of jadeite.

Soon, the stone-cutter sliced the stone open, revealing a thumb-sized piece of fine jadeite.

"Spot on!"

"Brother Chen is truly amazing! He can even determine the size!"

"If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t believe such a skilled person exists."

"The first stone has already proven Brother Chen’s judgment, now we just have to see if the rest of the stones contain anything."

"If he can accurately predict such a small piece of jadeite, he should be able to tell if the other stones have jadeite as well. I bet the rest of the stones have nothing."

...

Under everyone’s supervision, the staff transported the stones one by one to the stone-cutter.

The second stone, empty!

The third stone, empty!

The fourth stone, empty!

...

Soon, all 50-plus stones from the second floor were cut open, and sure enough, only that one stone contained a thumb-sized piece of jadeite, while the rest were completely empty.

Jiang Anbang was anxious and instinctively looked towards the manager, Wang Anshuang.

Wang Anshuang blinked, signaling Jiang Anbang not to worry.

Ning Shaoqing: "Young Master Jiang, what do you say? Is there still a need to check the stones downstairs?"

Jiang Anbang: "Nonsense! There are still more than three hundred stones down there. He said they’re all empty, so of course, we need to verify."

Ning Shaoqing: "I want to remind you, if you dare to cheat, no matter the result, we will assume the Treasure Hunting Pavilion is guilty of deception and that the stones were scanned with instruments."

Jiang Anbang chuckled to conceal his anxiety and said, "Don’t worry. I swear on the honor of the Treasure Hunting Pavilion and the Jiang Family that there will be no tricks. It is what it is."

Ning Shaoqing: "Alright! Everyone head downstairs and continue verifying!"

Everyone went downstairs to continue cutting open the stones for verification.

Because the stones on the first floor were smaller, they were cut very quickly, almost one every ten seconds.

Soon, over 290 stones were cut open, all empty.

The players already had their answer.

"To be honest, cutting open so many that are empty proves the point; there’s no need to finish cutting them all."

"Exactly, out of more than three hundred stones cut, all are empty. What’s there to say?"

"Either way, I’ll never play here again. Now it’s about whether Ning Shao or Young Master Jiang will win this bet."

...

Jiang Anbang chuckled and said, "Why the rush? There are still a dozen stones left. As long as one stone contains jadeite, Ning Shaoqing loses!"

Ning Shaoqing laughed heartily and said, "Alright! I absolutely trust Brother Yang’s judgment. If you manage to win my three billion, go ahead."

When they got to the 296th stone, a piece of jade was indeed found.

"Wow, we found green!"

"Oh no, why did green appear now?"

"Haha... those who know, know."

"But, no matter what, Young Master Jiang has dealt a critical blow to Ning Shao. He won those three billion first."

...

Jiang Anbang immediately laughed and said, "What do you say now? Making such bold claims that all our stones are empty. Do you have anything to say? Ning Shaoqing, I’ll take your three billion! Next time, trust your own judgment instead of others. Haha..."

Ning Shaoqing quickly looked at his men, who shook their heads indicating they saw no signs of cheating.

At this moment, Yang Chen’s bodyguard came in and handed Yang Chen a phone.

Yang Chen smiled and said, "Longwei’s phone cameras are amazing, they can capture every move from outside. Yes, it’s confirmed, the 296th stone was swapped."

With that, Yang Chen displayed the secretly filmed video for everyone to see.

In the video, a Treasure Hunting Pavilion staff member, disguised as a regular player, exchanged the 296th stone in his basket with the 296th stone on display.

Jiang Anbang was shocked, glaring angrily at Yang Chen.

Ning Shaoqing laughed heartily and said, "Young Master Jiang, we agreed beforehand, as long as you dared to cheat, no matter what, we’d deem you guilty of a guilty conscience. What? Disguising as regular players means no one can tell? Those 296 numbers, we can all see them clearly. No need to cut the remaining stones, regardless of whether they contain green, we can assume your Treasure Hunting Pavilion’s stones were scanned with instruments."

"Refund us! How is this any different from fraud?"

"Exactly! Refund us! I lost 1.2 billion here and you must refund it to me! I truly believed all your promotional claims that the stones were direct from the source and not scanned with instruments. That’s why I kept playing here, even when I lost so much, thinking it was just my bad judgment and luck. Never doubted you. But fine, you take us all for fools! Can the Jiang Family just ignore the rules like this?"

"This is too much! How can you play like this? Directly swapping a piece of green jade into the mix clearly shows you have instruments to detect green inside the stones!"

"Refund us! Refund us! Refund us..."

The players who lost money were riled up, demanding Jiang Anbang refund them.

How could it have been a joke, to return the money they already lost?

But the video was proof, they really cheated.
