The Golden-Eyed Life of a Security Guard

Gu Yuebai left the hospital and returned home.

He lives in Lingyue Residential Area in the county town; his home is on the sixteenth floor of a building.

Upon opening the door, Gu Yuebai immediately retrieved the piece of raw jade.

He wiped the dust off the surface and examined the raw material in front of him.

This piece of raw material is very large, about the size of two basketballs, and it's rectangular.

The leather is made of old elephant hide, which is wrinkled and rough to the touch. It has small green spots on the surface and several thin, twisted stripes, about an inch wide, like hemp rope.

Previously, Gu Yuebai always hoped to follow in his father's footsteps, to run a raw material business and relive his father's glory.

Unfortunately, his family had run out of money; without initial capital, he couldn't do anything.

Given the previous experience, his mother did not agree to him getting involved in jade gambling again.

Life is unpredictable, yet he still insists on getting involved in jade gambling.

He grew up with his father and learned a little bit about jade from a young age. The material in front of him should be from the old Hpakant region. It is of excellent quality and looks like it will produce high-quality jade.

What he didn't know was that Shen Ling hadn't touched this piece of material; she wanted to save it for Gu Yuebai's future marriage.

She knew that with Gu Wenhui gone, the family's financial situation was deteriorating day by day, and that getting married and having children in the future would require a lot of money.

This piece of raw material might come in handy.

Gu Yuebai didn't know how to use his Time Reversal Eye; he just stared intently at the wool fabric in front of him.

Sure enough, a golden light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and the rough skin in front of him slowly faded away, like ice and snow melting.

The internal structure was revealed to him.

However, to Gu Yuebai's surprise, the rough stone was not at all like it appeared on the surface.

This caused Gu Yuebai's initial excitement to plummet to rock bottom.

"How could this happen..."

Gu Yuebai was dumbfounded.

What should I do?

For seven days, he had assumed that the raw material his father had risked his life to obtain must be of high quality and could be cut into good pieces to sell at a high price.

However, it all turned out to be a pipe dream.

He had to find another way to make money.

Where can I get 350,000?

After much thought, he came up with an amazing plan.

He then packed the wool back into the box, carried the wooden box, and headed to Yuncheng.

It was already evening when he returned to Yuncheng. He went back to his rented room and called Li Siyi.

"Gu Yuebai, why are you calling me again?"

"Siyi, my mom is injured, she has a broken bone. I need money..."

"Ha, so you still want the money you gave me to go to school back then. I've seen through you long ago. Fine, you've given me a total of 85,000 yuan over the years, I'll give it all back, plus interest, that's 100,000 yuan. Is that enough?"

Li Siyi sneered on the phone.

"I'm not asking you to pay me back. You know my dad used to be in the jadeite rough business, right? He left us a piece of rough jadeite, and it's in very good condition. I want to sell it to Mr. Hu."

"What kind of raw materials do you have? Humph, if you had raw materials, would you have stayed in Ruian County all these years, unable to move?" Li Siyi simply didn't believe it.

"It's true. It's from Old Hpakant. The surface has many small green bean-like things, like python skin, and those python skin are like hemp rope..."

On the phone, Gu Yuebai heard Hu Zhiwei's voice: "Did his family really used to be in the jadeite rough business?"

"Well, his deadbeat father did indeed run a jadeite rough business, but he died in a car accident, and his family ran out of money..." Li Siyi wanted to say something, but Hu Zhiwei stopped her.

He took Li Siyi's call directly and said to Gu Yuebai, "Kid, bring the materials tomorrow morning at ten o'clock. I'll be waiting for you at Yunlu Mansion."

"Okay. But I want to buy it for ten million." Gu Yuebai made an outrageous demand.

"Hmph, let's see the goods first. If the goods are good, the price is no problem." Hu Zhiwei has made a lot of money in the leather business over the past two years. He owns several factories and employs thousands of workers.

He has plenty of money, and he knows about jadeite rough stones; the jadeite market is booming right now. In his spare time, he also enjoys jadeite with a few friends.

He was very familiar with words like "pine flower" and "python belt".

If a raw material has these qualities, then it's a good material.

"Okay, I'll bring the wool fabric over tomorrow." Gu Yuebai hung up the phone.

On the other end of the phone, Hu Zhiwei sounded a little uneasy. He asked Li Siyi again, "Siyi, tell me properly about Gu Yuebai's family situation in the past?"

Li Siyi recalled, "When he was a child, his family was very wealthy. His father followed his grandfather to trade jadeite rough stones on the Myanmar border from a young age, and the business grew bigger and bigger. At that time, his family was considered the richest in our Ruian County."

"Not only that, his father also owned a large storefront in Tengchong, several hundred square meters. But later, his father died in a car accident on his way back from Myanmar. For some reason, his family owed money to others, sold the storefront, and cleared out their raw material inventory to pay off the debt. From then on, his family fell on hard times."

Hu Zhiwei pondered for a moment before asking, "Did you know his family owned such a piece of material?"

"I'm not quite sure. I went to his house when I was little, and there was indeed a big box under Gu Yuebai's bed. The box was very heavy," Li Siyi recalled.

Hearing this information, Hu Zhiwei gradually smiled.

However, just in case, he still called his friend.

"Hey Lao Lu, someone wants to sell me a piece of rough jade tomorrow. You know my skill level, I'm just a novice. Come to my house at 9:30 tomorrow."

On the other end of the phone, the person called Lao Lu laughed at him.

Hu Zhiwei hung up the phone after Lao Lu agreed.

Li Siyi kept touching and teasing Hu Zhiwei, arousing his lust. Like a hungry wolf, he pounced on Li Siyi.

Another dramatic turn of events.

"Ding-dong!"

Hu Zhiwei instantly rolled over and got up.

"Oh no. Song Lan is back. Quick, quick, get dressed and go out the back door."

Li Siyi said angrily, "When will this hiding and maneuvering ever end? When are you going to divorce her?"

"Oh, let's not talk about that now, let's go. If she catches us, she'll take half of my assets in the divorce."

After being glared at by Hu Zhiwei, Li Siyi had no choice but to quickly get dressed and sneak out through the back door.

Song Lan had already noticed the lights were on on the second floor, and she knew that Hu Zhiwei had a problem.

However, over the years, because she hadn't found any fault with Hu Zhiwei, she was unwilling to be kicked out of the house with nothing.

Today, she learned the news and now has leverage to negotiate with Hu Zhiwei.

She decided to confront Hu Zhiwei.

"Hu Zhiwei, let's get a divorce."

Looking at the stunningly beautiful Song Lan, Hu Zhiwei had always wanted to pin her down and rub her between his legs, but unfortunately, this wretched woman was no longer on his side.

"Divorce is fine, here's a million dollars, get out of here."
