Chapter 78 Cleverly Breaking the Switch Plot
Zhuoma smiled alluringly; she had made the right bet this time!
"Ye Tian, you are truly the most amazing man I have ever met!"
The onlookers were frozen in place, their eyes fixed on the purple hue.
With trembling hands, the stone cutter scooped up water with a ladle and splashed it onto the cut surface to wash away the stone powder and water stains.
Suddenly, the world seemed to change color.
That pure, flawless violet jade was truly dazzling.
It has a delicate and even texture, without cracks, cotton-like inclusions, or discoloration; only that breathtaking purple.
"This is a violet jadeite that is even rarer than imperial green jadeite. It is the rarest variety of jadeite besides dragon stone jadeite."
Many people spend their entire lives collecting jade, yet never even see a top-quality jadeite before they die.
An old jade merchant was so moved that tears streamed down his face, and his whole body trembled violently.
He had been involved with jade all his life and had seen countless pieces of jadeite, but he had never seen such exquisite violet jade.
Shocked, incredulous, and awestruck, everyone looked at Ye Tian with nothing but reverence.
Even Sun Yutang, who was well-informed and experienced, was so excited that he was incoherent:
"Mr. Ye, you're fucking amazing!"
This piece of material is conservatively estimated to be worth over 200 million!
If you encounter a top-tier buyer, and it's made into exquisite jewelry, the price can increase several times over!
I dare say that in tonight's treasure-hunting competition, you will absolutely be the champion in the jade and emerald category!
At this moment, Zhang Shouren hurriedly came in from outside: "President Ye, congratulations! You've unearthed another priceless jade."
"What a pity for my beloved Jade Dancer, alas."
"What's wrong? Didn't find it?" Ye Tian frowned.
"I found it, but the boss switched the real Yuwu in front of me."
From beginning to end, Yu Wuren never left my sight.
But when I left with the jade dancer after the deal was agreed upon, it had already been switched.
Zhang Shouren has been collecting jade all his life, so he can be considered a seasoned veteran.
Today he suffered a setback without any explanation, how could he not be angry?
"Where is he? I need to see who this master is who can switch things right in front of you."
Ye Tian couldn't help but become curious.
"Mr. Ye, please stop teasing me."
"Zhuo Sanjie's men have already brought him here, but without evidence, he stubbornly refuses to confess, and no one can do anything to him," Zhang Shouren sighed.
"Where is he? Take me to see him."
Ye Tian followed Zhang Shouren to a room not far away, which was the lounge that Zhuoma had prepared for them in the venue.
"It's him."
Following the direction Zhang Shouren pointed, Ye Tian saw the antique shop owner.
He was a middle-aged man who was not tall, very thin, and wore black-rimmed glasses; he had a refined and scholarly air.
Even after being captured by Sister Zhuo's men, he remained calm and composed.
"So you're the one who lied to my friend?" Ye Tian stood in front of the antique shop owner, looking down at him.
"Sir, my name is Zhang Cheng. As you can tell from my name, I am a man of integrity."
How could someone as honest as me possibly lie to your friend?
This jade dancer has always been like this; she has never changed.
Your friend made a mistake and then didn't want the money after the transaction.
But in our line of work, the rule is that once you buy it, it's done; no refunds or exchanges.
He didn't see it clearly before; that's his own problem.
Consider this transaction as his tuition fee; who hasn't paid tuition fees in the antique business?
Zhang Cheng, the owner of the antique shop, spoke with impeccable eloquence.
"Boss Zhang, if my friend really misjudged him, then he won't have paid a bad price for this lesson."
But my friend, despite his age, has incredibly sharp eyesight.
He could tell whether the jade dancer he saw was real or fake.
Because he has an identical jade dancing figure at home.
He watches it every day, how could he not tell the difference between real and fake?
For example, would you not recognize your wife, with whom you've shared a bed for many years?
Ye Tian smiled knowingly.
"You know what, if my wife had a twin sister who looked exactly like her, I really might not be able to tell them apart."
The antique shop owner, Zhang Cheng, answered with a sincere expression.
"Then you're deliberately making it impossible to tell the difference, aren't you?" Zhang Shouren couldn't help but curse.
"Hey, old man, you understand me, hahaha." Zhang Cheng burst into laughter.
"Boss Zhang, whether you did it on purpose or it was intentional, give the real jade dancer back to my friend."
I'll just pretend this never happened.
You only have this one chance, think it through.
Ye Tian didn't want to tease him anymore. If reasoning didn't work, he knew a thing or two about martial arts.
"Boss, I've already said, this is the only jade dancer piece I have. There are no fakes..."
"Bang!"
Ye Tian kicked Zhang Cheng to the ground: "You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to drink the penalty cup."
"You think you can pull off a clever trick? Well, I'll break all your joints then, and see how you manage to switch things out then!"
Just as Ye Tian was about to make his move, Zhang Cheng began to beg for mercy: "No, boss, I was wrong."
I know I was wrong.
"If you do this, search me as you please. If you find anything, you can kill me or torture me as you please."
"You won't give up until you see the Yellow River; I'll make sure you die knowing why."
Since Zhang Cheng was brought back on the spot, he could only hide the real Jade Dancer on his person.
Ye Tian has X-ray vision; he can find him no matter where he hides.
However, even after Ye Tian's X-ray vision scanned the area until he was almost sty, he still couldn't find any trace of Yu Wuren on him.
Could it really not be him?
Suddenly, Ye Tian realized what he had overlooked.
"Snapped!"
Ye Tian grabbed the wig of antique shop owner Zhang Cheng and yanked it hard.
As Zhang Cheng's wig fell off, another layer of fake skin on his head was also exposed.
"You really went to great lengths to deceive people."
Zhang Cheng had a layer of fake skin on his neck and head.
When negotiating business, Zhang Cheng only needs to casually raise his hand to slip something into his fake skin, which is then covered by a wig, so no one will notice.
That's how he switched the Jade Dancer.
No wonder he wasn't afraid of being searched, because the item wasn't on his body, but on his head.
Ye Tian removed Zhang Cheng's fake skin, and sure enough, the real Jade Dancer was inside.
"What else do you have to say now?" Ye Tian stared coldly at Zhang Cheng.
The color drained from Zhang Cheng's face, turning deathly pale, and cold sweat streamed down his cheeks.
Ye Tian violently ripped off his fake skin. His scalp, which was already burning, was now covered in cold sweat, making him grimace in pain.
"Boss, I know I was wrong, really. I'll give Yu Wu back to you now, and we'll be even, okay?"
Ye Tian glanced at him coldly, then turned to Zhuoma's subordinates at the door and said:
"Tell your third sister about his situation and let her handle it."
"Yes, Boss Ye!" Zhuoma's subordinate replied respectfully.
"No, bosses, Sister Zhuo will kill me."
That woman is ruthless and merciless; she kills without blinking an eye. Please spare me, okay?
Zhang Cheng wasn't afraid before because there was no evidence to prove that he had switched the Jade Dancer.
Now that the evidence is conclusive, Sister Zhuo has never been lenient in dealing with such matters.
If he were to fall into Zhuo Sanjie's hands now, he would have no way to survive. How could he not be afraid?
Ye Tian ignored his pleas for mercy and walked out with Zhang Shouren.
"Wrongdoing comes at a price. The moment you choose to lie, you should have thought about the consequences."
In a place like the Ghost Market, where all sorts of monsters and scoundrels gather, how can someone with a soft heart possibly gain a foothold?
From the moment Ye Tian learned that Zhuoma was one of the four managers of the Ghost Market, he knew that she was definitely not as simple as she appeared on the surface.
