After being imprisoned in a women's prison for five years, I became a master of both medicine a

"Where's Tang Shanshan? Hand her over to me, I'm here to cause trouble."

Hearing the young man's arrogant words, Lin Shasha curled her lip and said, "Who is this guy? He looks so irritating."

Tang Shanshan said irritably, "He is Liu Jun, the young master of Liu's Jewelry, Tang's Jewelry's arch-rival. Ever since Liu's appraiser lost to Master Duan at the last gem appraisal competition, his jewelry sales have been sluggish. I'm afraid he's here with ill intentions."

Duan Yi sneered, "Last time, the eight appraisers of the Liu family were beaten to a pulp by me. I didn't expect them to come back to humiliate me today. Let's see how this master deals with them!" With that, he strode towards the door.

"Let's go take a look."

Tang Shanshan also felt that Liu Jun was just desperate and didn't take his provocation too seriously.

As the group walked over, they saw a man in a floral shirt giving a passionate speech while holding a selfie stick.

Someone at the scene recognized him as a big internet celebrity in the jade gambling industry. Although his jade appraisal skills are not very good, he is very good at creating entertainment value and has nearly 10 million followers across the internet.

The title of "A Showdown Between the Largest Jewelers in Jiangnan Province" instantly attracted millions of viewers to the live stream, and the number is still rapidly increasing.

"Young Master Liu, with your antics, it seems the lesson I taught you at the last stone appraisal conference wasn't profound enough."

Facing the camera, Duan Yi stood proudly.

As the top appraiser in Southeast China, he certainly had the right to be arrogant.

Tang Shanshan was equally assertive and joined in the mockery.

"It seems that Liu's Jewelry is really failing. They have nothing better to do than come to Tang's Jewelry every few days to cause trouble."

Liu Jun wore a flashy pink shirt, his eyes filled with anger, and he kept sneering.

"Tang Shanshan, you won by sheer luck last time, but I didn't expect you to be so cocky. Since you're so confident, how about we go all out for a big bet today?"

"How do you want to bet?"

"It's simple. The Tang family boasts about their gem-appraisal skills, so how about we have a gem-appraisal competition today? If I lose, Liu's Jewelry will completely withdraw from the Jiangnan market, but if you lose, you must hand over the exclusive supply channel for the old mine in Hpakant, Myanmar."

The moment this bet was announced, it immediately drew gasps from everyone present and online.

Liu Jun isn't here to cause trouble today; he's here to risk his life!

Seeing Liu Jun going so far, Tang Shanshan's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

The Hpakant Old Mine is a world-renowned top-tier mine, producing only the finest ice jade raw materials. It was closed by the Myanmar government years ago.

The Tang family obtained exclusive mining rights by virtue of their ancestors saving the life of the King of Myanmar when they were venturing into Southeast Asia.

For so many years, Tang's Jewelry has been able to maintain its dominance over its competitors, and this mine has played an indispensable role in that. Without this supply channel, Tang's Jewelry would directly fall from its throne as the number one jeweler in Southeast China.

But once you win the bet, the rewards are enormous.

By seizing the market share of Liu, the second-largest jeweler in Southeast China, Tang's business immediately doubled in size, transforming it into an international jewelry giant.

bet?

Or not to gamble?

Tang Shanshan is faced with a difficult choice.

The Tang family patriarch had long ago handed the company over to her to manage, and the family members were constantly trying to bring her down. At this point, she didn't even have anyone to consult with.

At this moment, Gu Ning stepped forward and whispered in her ear.

"Liu Jun's visit is ill-intentioned; I think it's best to play it safe."

Tang Shanshan sighed slightly. Actually, she also preferred not to gamble, but Liu Jun brought internet celebrity Su Hao to do a live broadcast, putting her directly in a difficult position.

Sure enough, seeing her hesitate, Su Hao immediately became excited.

"Did you all see that? The head of Tang's Jewelry has chickened out. Everyone, please don't buy jewelry from her in the future, or you'll become as cowardly as her and it will affect your luck."

"What did you say?"

All employees of Tang's Jewelry were furious.

Jewelry, as a high-end luxury item, places the most emphasis on brand image. Su Hao's words were tantamount to humiliating Tang's Jewelry.

If the idea that wearing Tang's jewelry affects one's fortune takes root, Tang's stock price will likely plummet before tonight.

"President Tang, what are you afraid of with me here? Let's gamble with them!" Duan Yi said confidently.

"Yes, we can't back down, we have to gamble with them!"

Other employees were also indignant and tried to persuade Tang Shanshan.

"Fine, I'll take your bet!"

After a moment, Tang Shanshan gritted her teeth and made a decision.

The Tang family might not necessarily lose the bet.

But if they don't gamble, the Tang family will definitely lose!

"Haha, Miss Tang is so straightforward. Then let me explain the rules."

Upon seeing her agree, Liu Jun instantly revealed a sly smile of triumph.

"Bring it up!"

With a wave of his hand, his men immediately brought out five rough stones the size of washbasins and lined them up in a row on the display case.

"I have five rough stones here. If Mr. Tang can correctly identify whether there is jadeite in them and the quality of the jadeite, you will win; otherwise, you will lose. You can also choose five rough stones for my people to appraise. The rules for winning and losing are the same. Whoever has the higher accuracy rate in the end will win."

If both sides make accurate judgments, the side that takes the shortest time wins!

"Hahaha, what kind of tricks are you playing? Mr. Tang, I assure you, Tang's is going to win!" Duan Yi laughed loudly.

Tang Shanshan and the others breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that they had secured their victory.

Only Ye Chen, standing behind her, noticed a slight movement in his eyes and saw through Liu Jun's trick.

Of these five raw stones, the first three were fine, but the last two had bewitching symbols painted on them with special pigments. The colors were so faint they were almost transparent, and they were not visible to the naked eye.

However, once a stone appraiser stares at a stone, he will feel dizzy and mentally exhausted.

In other words, Duan Yi can only identify a maximum of two rough stones.

Tang Shanshan is Gu Ning's best friend, so he naturally wouldn't stand idly by. However, exposing Liu Jun's shady dealings now wouldn't yield much benefit.

He will kick Liu Jun down from his pedestal when the gambling game begins and Liu Jun is at his most triumphant.

Just then, a middle-aged man, about the same age as Duan Yi and blind in one eye, slowly walked out from behind Liu Jun.

His single eye flashed with deep-seated hatred as he gave Duan Yi a sinister laugh.

"Senior brother, it's been a long time."

Duan Yi was slightly taken aback, and then said with endless hatred.

"Du Sheng, so it was you, the traitor of our sect. Back then, you poisoned our master and blinded him. I bet my eyesight against you, but you lost and then refused to admit it."

"I only gouged out one of your eyes, and you managed to escape. Today, you'll leave your other eye behind too."

"Heh, then I'll bet you my last remaining eye. Do you dare take the challenge?"

Duan Yi sneered, "You're a defeated opponent. If I lose to you, I'll gouge out my eyes!"

As the two were talking, five rough stones from Tang's Jewelry were also placed on the display case.

Liu Jun chuckled, "Now that everything is ready, let's get started."

The life-or-death battle between two jewelry giants is enough to excite anyone instantly. The fact that fellow appraisers from the same school wagered their bets made the game even more thrilling and exciting, sending adrenaline soaring.

This is more exciting than those online short dramas.

Inside the Tang Jewelry Building, a dense crowd of nearly 50,000 people thronged the building.

The combined number of viewers in Su Hao's and other smaller streamers' live streams exceeds ten million.

Under the watchful eyes of millions, Duan Yi and Du Sheng stepped forward, glaring at each other.

The gambling game officially began in a highly charged atmosphere.
