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

As the sound of the cutting machine stopped, one side of the rough stone was cut open. When the stone-cutting master showed the cut side of the rough stone to everyone, the scene immediately became excited.

"Am I seeing things? This...this is...Imperial Green?"

"That's right, it's imperial green. I was fortunate enough to see it once, and it was the exact same color."

"Wow... This is really unexpected. I never thought that this ordinary rough stone could yield imperial green jade."

"The color, the clarity, and the rich, vibrant green—this is undoubtedly imperial green."

Indeed, judging from the exposed side of the rough stone, the jade inside is imperial green. The line drawn by Su Muchen cuts open the top-quality jade containing imperial green, revealing its splendor to everyone.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I never expected this, I really never expected it. I personally examined this rough stone, and I never thought I would be so mistaken. Underneath this top-grade jadeite, there is actually imperial green jadeite. This is truly unexpected."

When the imperial green appeared, everyone present was shocked. Mr. Liang even exclaimed that he had personally examined the rough stone and had never expected to have misjudged it, which made him feel very ashamed.

"Impossible, how could it possibly produce Imperial Green? I must be seeing things."

When Boss Chen saw the imperial green jadeite, he seemed to lose his soul, slumped in his seat, and kept muttering "impossible".

"Hahaha... Brother Su, you really brought us a surprise, no, you've really given us a shock. We never expected that this rough stone could yield imperial green. No wonder you weren't worried about losing at all; it turns out you already knew."

Qian Yutang felt as if he had gone from hell to heaven. The frustration and tension he had just felt had long since dissipated, and now he was only excited and thrilled.

"Brother Qian, when have I ever failed? You still don't trust me."

Seeing Qian Yutang's excited expression, Su Muchen smiled and shook his head, not forgetting to make a sarcastic remark about Qian Yutang.

"Yes, it's my fault, brother. I shouldn't have doubted you, brother. Don't worry, brother, from now on I will trust you completely and will never have a single doubt again."

"Alright, alright, Brother Qian, let's not talk about this between us."

At this moment, Old Liang walked towards Su Muchen with a smile, and looked Su Muchen up and down with satisfaction.

"Not bad, young man, you have a good eye. Even I didn't realize that the rough stone contained imperial green, but you did."

"Mr. Liang, please don't make fun of me. I was just lucky. When I was observing this rough stone in the exhibition hall, I happened to see the round green inside through the crack. Actually, I was a little apprehensive before, but I felt relieved after the rough stone was cut open and I saw the imperial green exposed."

Su Muchen is blatantly lying. From the very beginning, he has never shown any guilt and has always appeared very confident.

"Haha, young man, no need to be so modest. By the way, let me introduce myself. I am Liang Liguang, the vice president of the National Jade Association. May I ask your name, young man, and where you are from?"

Oh, so this old man is here to find out Su Muchen's background. But that's normal, since Su Muchen has performed so well. How could an ordinary person have such ability?

"Elder Liang, my name is Su Muchen. I am not from any prominent family. Before this, I lived in a small village in the countryside. I only recently came to live in the city."

Su Muchen's answer surprised Old Liang. It was hard to believe that a young man from the countryside could have such abilities.

However, Elder Liang also knew that since Su Muchen did not want to reveal his identity, he could not press him for details.

"By the way, Mr. Liang, could you please help me appraise that piece of imperial green jade? My bet with Boss Chen isn't finished yet!"

After Su Muchen finished speaking, he raised his eyes at Boss Chen, who was sitting on pins and needles, making Boss Chen grit his teeth in anger.

"I have already examined that piece of imperial green jade carefully. Imperial green jade is a rare and top-grade jade. However, this piece of imperial green jade is a bit small. According to the market price, it should be worth around 80 million. Of course, if it is auctioned at an auction, the price can be even higher. After all, imperial green jade is something that everyone seeks out and is hard to come by."

"Eighty million is enough, Mr. Chen. Did you hear that? The price of this rough stone has more than doubled. That means you've lost this bet. Shouldn't you honor your contract now?"

"That's right, you surnamed Qian. Old Liang said this imperial green jade is worth 80 million. So if you're going to lose 80 million to Brother Su, pay up!"

Faced with Su Muchen and Qian Yutang's aggressive questioning, Boss Chen's face was even uglier than if he had eaten shit. He really didn't want to give them the 80 million, but with everyone watching, he couldn't back out even if he wanted to.

Moreover, with Mr. Liang and Secretary Jiang as witnesses, if Boss Chen dares to renege on the bet, he'll be out of a job in this business.

In the end, Mr. Chen transferred 80 million to Liu Ziyan with tears in his eyes, and he became a laughing stock at the auction.

"Alright, that little incident is over. The auction will continue."

After Mr. Liang spoke, everyone obediently returned to their seats, but each person would occasionally glance at Boss Chen with a mocking look in their eyes.

"Damn it, this kid made me lose face in front of everyone. I'm going to get my revenge."

The mocking gazes of the crowd were naturally noticed by Boss Chen, which intensified his resentment towards Su Muchen and Qian Yutang.

"Next, we'd like to present lot number seven, which comes from..."

Whether it was because he was provoked by Su Muchen or not, when auctioning lot number nine, Su Muchen raised his paddle again to bid, but he was met with a counterattack from Boss Chen. No matter how much Su Muchen raised his bid, Boss Chen would raise it by 500,000.

This caused the price of lot number nine to skyrocket, from an initial starting price of five million to a staggering twenty million as the two bidders traded their winning bids.

Another 20 million. Su Muchen spent 20 million to acquire the previous two rough stones due to interference from Boss Chen. Now, this rough stone has reached 20 million, which is three times the reserve price.

"Twenty-five million..."

Everyone originally thought that once Su Muchen bid 20 million, Boss Chen would stop bidding. After all, in everyone's opinion, Boss Chen was deliberately causing trouble and should have stopped once he reached 20 million. Otherwise, if he stopped bidding, wouldn't he have to suffer in silence?

To everyone's surprise, Boss Chen raised his paddle again to make a bid, a move that left everyone puzzled.

However, when Boss Chen quoted 20.5 million, Su Muchen unusually put down his bidding paddle, clearly no longer participating in the bidding.

"Brother Su, what's going on? Why did you stop bidding? I examined that rough stone before; it's a very good piece. Twenty million is far from its maximum value. Are you just going to give it to that Chen guy like this?"

Seeing Su Muchen put down his bidding paddle, Qian Yutang, who was standing to the side, couldn't sit still. Su Muchen had been bidding from the beginning and clearly had his eye on the rough stone, but now he had given up on raising the price. Wasn't this just making things easier for Boss Chen?

"That's right, we gave it to him. Brother Qian, you don't need to feel sorry for me. Only that guy surnamed Chen would be so stupid as to spend over 20 million on a piece of high-grade icy jadeite."

"What? Brother Su, are you deliberately setting that guy surnamed Chen up?"

"What else do you think? If I really wanted that rough stone, I would have bought it no matter how high the price was. I never intended to buy it from the beginning. The reason I tricked that guy surnamed Chen was to prevent him from causing trouble in the upcoming auction."

Originally, Su Muchen had no interest in the rough stone. However, when the auction started, he overheard the conversation between Boss Chen and the stone appraiser. He learned that they valued the rough stone, so he deliberately raised the price. His purpose was naturally to trick Boss Chen and prevent him from causing further trouble.

"Sold for the third time at 20.5 million!"
