My master gave me a death mission: to go down the mountain and retrieve his granddaughter.

"Mr. Su, we've visited several stalls already, haven't we found a single rough stone that could appreciate in value?"

Liu Ziyan followed behind Su Muchen and browsed through several stalls. More than half an hour had passed, but Su Muchen had not said that he liked any of them. He was often scolded by the stall owners.

The reason is simple: Su Muchen's unrestrained words are just too annoying. He keeps saying that none of the raw stones in other people's stalls are worth anything.

Sometimes she would even remind customers not to buy, which would be like taking away their livelihood. If Liu Ziyan hadn't pulled Su Muchen away in time, a conflict would have been unavoidable.

"Yes, in my experience, there are quite a few rough stones that can indeed increase in value. For example, that old man who was about to fight me with his cane had a rough stone at his stall that was priced at over 500,000 yuan, but the jade inside was worth millions."

Su Muchen had crammed on this knowledge on his way here last night, and with Liu Ziyan's assistance, he had gained a general understanding of the quality and price of jade.

Su Muchen was referring to the shop owner two stalls ahead of him, an old man with a cane. Just now, the shop owner was about to close a deal, but Su Muchen, instead, said to him, "You'll lose money if you buy this rough stone."

Well, the man who was initially hesitant decided not to buy it anymore, which infuriated the shopkeeper so much that he picked up his cane and was ready to fight Su Muchen.

Fortunately, Liu Ziyan quickly pulled Su Muchen away, thus averting a bloody disaster.

"What? A rough stone worth 500,000 can yield millions of pieces of jadeite! You're not buying such high-quality material? Mr. Su, did you lose your mind this morning at the hotel?"

Su Muchen's words made Liu Ziyan stomp her feet on the spot. This was a raw stone worth ten times more. If someone else bought it, Liu Ziyan would be devastated!

"Miss Liu, I think you've misunderstood something. What use do you think a few million is to us? We're looking for the kind of stock that will skyrocket in value after being sold, at least reaching tens of millions. Otherwise, with only two or three hours left, where are we going to scrape together enough funds to participate in the auction?"

"But... this is worth several million, it's really a pity to miss out on it like this."

Although Liu Ziyan agreed with Su Muchen's statement, she felt extremely uncomfortable watching millions slip through her fingers.

"Alright, Miss Liu, broaden your horizons. A mere few million isn't even worth our time. Let's stop worrying about it and continue our shopping!"

Liu Ziyan reluctantly followed behind Su Muchen, turning her head every now and then to look at that stall, her eyes filled with reluctance, while inwardly cursing Su Muchen.

"That damned Su Muchen, that stinking Su Muchen, he thinks a few million is nothing to him? That's millions! Many poor people can't earn that much in a lifetime, yet he doesn't care at all."

Just as Liu Ziyan was cursing Su Muchen in her heart, she didn't notice that Su Muchen had stopped and bumped into Su Muchen's back.

Su Muchen was like a wall, and this time he knocked Liu Ziyan quite hard. Fortunately, Su Muchen turned around and supported her in time, otherwise Liu Ziyan would have fallen backward to the ground.

"It hurts so much... You stinky Su Muchen, why did you suddenly stop? And why is your back like a wall? You almost gave me a concussion."

It seems Liu Ziyan really got hurt this time, otherwise she wouldn't have lost all the respect she had for Su Muchen, calling him by his name directly and adding the word "stinky" before it. I wonder if she just blurted it out because of what she was thinking.

"Uh, Miss Liu, you weren't watching where you were going, and now you're blaming me? Okay, I'll help you so it won't hurt anymore."

Su Muchen placed his hand on Liu Ziyan's forehead, channeling some of his internal energy to help alleviate her discomfort.

"Hey! I must say, Mr. Su, your skill is truly admirable. Just a touch from you has not only relieved my dizziness but also relieved my headache."

When Su Muchen touched her like that, Liu Ziyan immediately felt her discomfort disappear and changed her attitude towards Su Muchen, even addressing him as "Mr. Su" again.

"Miss Liu, you really are fickle!"

Su Muchen could only describe Liu Ziyan's change of expression as "awesome" in comparison.

"What are you saying! By the way, Mr. Su, why did you suddenly stop?"

"We've found the rough stone we're looking for."

"Ah, where is it?"

"Stop, Miss Liu, could you please calm down? We need to keep a low profile. If the boss notices and deliberately raises the price, it will be counterproductive."

Liu Ziyan's reaction was indeed a bit strong. Fortunately, the stall owner was busy promoting the product and didn't notice this. Otherwise, he might have seen it and deliberately raised the price of the rough stone they were interested in.

"Excuse me, I was just too excited, Mr. Su. Which rough stone have you taken a fancy to?"

"See that rough stone marked 300,000? And that one marked 700,000? Just those two. Each one yields jade worth over 10 million."

Su Muchen pointed out two rough stones on the stall to Liu Ziyan. These two rough stones were of medium price at this stall, and could be said to be rather unremarkable.

"Oh, just these two? But I don't think these two rough stones are very good quality. Although I can't say I'm very experienced in stone appraisal, I've been dealing with rough stones since I was a child, and I really don't think these two rough stones are promising. Mr. Su, are you sure these two rough stones can yield jadeite worth tens of millions?"

Because her family was in this business, Liu Ziyan had been exposed to it since childhood and had some knowledge of it. She was not optimistic about the two rough stones that Su Muchen pointed out.

"What? Miss Liu, you don't trust me? Why don't you come and do it yourself!"

Su Muchen was truly speechless at Liu Ziyan's antics. Every crucial moment, this little girl would show a lack of trust in him. What was she trying to do?

"Ah... that's not how it is, Mr. Su, I believe you, whatever you say goes."

Liu Ziyan realized that she had said the wrong thing. Since she had trusted Su Muchen from the beginning, how could she doubt Su Muchen's judgment now?

"Alright, it's okay if you don't trust me, we'll wait and see!"

Su Muchen knew that if he didn't show something, the beautiful Liu wouldn't fully trust his abilities, so he decided to let these two raw stones change Liu Ziyan's opinion.

"Boss, could you make this rough stone cheaper?"

"Young man, all the rough stones here are clearly priced, no bargaining. Just take whichever one you like and pay for it."

Originally, Su Muchen was worried that the boss might suddenly raise the price, so he deliberately pointed to a rough stone worth over a million yuan to bargain. Now that he heard what the boss said, he didn't need to bother anymore.

"I want this piece and that piece, boss, please swipe your card!"

Su Muchen pointed to the two rough stones he had his eye on, took the bank card directly from Liu Ziyan, and handed it to the shopkeeper to swipe.

"Alright, young man, you're very straightforward. Don't worry, all the rough stones here are carefully selected, and the chance of finding green is extremely high. I wish you a direct hit to paradise."

"Hehe, then I'll accept your kind words, boss!"

Su Muchen naturally knew that the boss was just being polite, but soon, the boss's polite words came true.

"Ding... Card swipe successful, amount: one million!"

Without any trouble, Su Muchen easily bought the two rough stones.

"Young man, would you like it cut right here? My stone-cutting master is a professional. If the value increases, I'll charge a thousand; if not, I won't charge you."

"cut……"
