Faced with Huang Wenlong's sarcastic mockery, Lin Yuan had no interest in even responding.

Arguing with someone blinded by greed who is about to crash and burn is a complete waste of time.

He calmly raised his hand and pulled Zhou Chen, who was suppressing his anger, aside.

His tone was casual, calm, and composed.

"Let's go, don't waste time here."

"There's nothing real in this auction anyway. Instead of staying here watching people put on a show, we might as well go and browse the rough stone stalls outside."

"There are many odds and ends at street stalls, so you might just stumble upon some really good stuff."

Although Zhou Chen was still uneasy, she chose to trust Lin Yuan.

Upon hearing this, he immediately suppressed his anger and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, whatever you say!"

The two turned around and walked straight towards the exit of the auction house.

They completely ignored Huang Wenlong behind them, who was looking smug and waiting to see them make a fool of themselves.

Shen Wei stood there, his face turning pale and then flushed.

My heart is filled with resentment and frustration.

But he dared not stay behind alone, so he gritted his teeth and hurried after them.

In her heart, she had already placed all the blame on Lin Yuan.

The three of them had just stepped out of the auction hall.

Immediately afterwards, the scene became lively.

Many customers who snagged the best rough stones were so happy that they couldn't wait to take them back to their shops.

They immediately called over a stone-cutting master to cut and inspect the stone right there in the open space of the hall.

Everyone was excited and full of anticipation for a windfall and sudden wealth.

The first rough stone was put on the machine.

The outer layer of the skin has been worn away.

The window area, which originally looked full and emerald green, faded rapidly as the stone skin peeled away.

Finally, it turns completely white and gray!

Let alone icy jadeite, there isn't even the most common impurity jade!

The entire stone is hollow inside; it's just a piece of waste stone that's been artificially colored!

"Empty?! How is that possible!"

The shop owner who bought the rough stone was instantly dumbfounded, and his face turned deathly pale.

Millions of dollars have gone down the drain!

The crowd erupted in uproar and discussion, all believing it was simply a matter of bad luck.

But then, the second and third stones were cut into pieces in quick succession!

The result was exactly the same!

All the rough stones that looked top-quality and had perfect windows turned out to be worthless the moment they were cut open!

Either the inside is dry and lacks jade, or it is artificially dyed and faked; they are all fakes that are strong on the outside but weak on the inside!

In just a few minutes.

Several owners who bid high prices for stones all lost everything.

Millions or tens of millions of dollars invested vanished in an instant!

The once lively and festive auction hall instantly fell silent.

The cheers faded, replaced by wails and curses.

Everyone was stunned.

If one or two items fail, it might just be a matter of luck.

However, all of the dozen or so high-priced, high-quality raw stones turned out to be worthless, resulting in everyone losing money!

This is not just bad luck!

This moment.

All eyes in the room were fixed on Huang Wenlong in the front row.

He was the one who bought the most and spent the most money in the entire auction!

Others only suffered small losses, but he went all in with a huge bet!

The more arrogant and smug they were just now, the more their scalp tingles now!

The warm smile on Huang Wenlong's face instantly froze.

A chill ran through my body, and my back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.

My heart was pounding wildly, and an extreme sense of panic instantly swept over my entire body!

Looking at the unfinished and ruined rough stones around him, he still clung to the last shred of hope.

impossible!

The pieces of jade he bought at a high price were of far superior quality to everyone else's, and they definitely have the potential to appreciate significantly!

It must be someone else's bad luck, it has nothing to do with him!

He originally planned to take the rough stone back to his own workshop, carefully and slowly cut it, and then ship it out properly.

But with the team constantly faltering, everyone is filled with anxiety.

He couldn't sit still any longer.

I can't wait even a second longer!

It must be untied on the spot to verify its authenticity!

"Master! Come here! Interpret my ingredients first!"

Huang Wenlong shouted loudly, his voice trembling.

He specially summoned the most experienced stone-cutting master to prioritize the processing of several top-grade rough stones that he had just purchased at a high price.

Everyone in the room immediately surrounded them.

The crowd was densely packed and completely silent.

All eyes were fixed on the raw stone on the machine.

The first piece of large, windowed material, acquired for 30 million, was put into operation.

The machines roared, and the stone slab was quickly ground apart.

Everyone held their breath, filled with tension.

However, as the cut surface becomes larger and larger.

Everyone's hearts sank to the bottom.

The so-called vibrant green is just a fake color artificially applied to the surface.

Inside, it was all white cotton, cracks, and miscellaneous stones.

A few tiny bits of jade fragments are not worth tens of thousands of yuan.

Huge loss!

We lost nearly 30 million!

Huang Wenlong's pupils shrank sharply, and his face turned visibly pale.

impossible!

He doesn't believe it!

"Keep going! Next piece!"

He gritted his teeth and roared, refusing to accept reality.

The second and third pieces were then installed on the machine.

The result was exactly the same!

Each piece of raw stone appears to be of the highest quality and flawless.

After being cut open, it is either a defective piece of jade or a scrap with very little jade inside.

Not a single piece can break even!

He went all in on the entire auction today, betting nearly 100 million!

In the end, all the rough stones were wasted, and all the money was lost!

Don't even talk about making money to break even.

They can't even make back a fraction of the profit!

Boom!

The last large piece of material has been cut.

The entire piece of waste rock was exposed to everyone's eyes.

The last shred of hope in Huang Wenlong's mind completely collapsed.

My legs went weak and my body lost all strength.

His face was ashen, his eyes were vacant, and he slumped heavily onto the dusty ground.

I was completely stunned.

His eyes were unfocused, and his whole body was trembling.

Just now, he was so full of confidence, mocking the Zhou family for being penniless and timid.

This is how miserable, desperate, and broken we are right now!

The surrounding whispers, sighs, and laughter mingled and seeped into his ears.

"It's all over! Boss Huang is completely finished today!"

"Nearly 100 million yuan has gone down the drain!"

"My God, this isn't gambling on jade, this is being slaughtered like a pig!"

"No wonder the Zhou family didn't bid on any of them; they genuinely sensed something was wrong!"

Everyone finally understood.

It wasn't that Zhou Chen was afraid to film or didn't have the money to film.

It's because they had a wise person by their side who saw through the whole situation beforehand!

In contrast, Huang Wenlong...

Self-righteous, arrogant, and insatiably greedy.

Blinded by the fake product appearance, they went all in and lost everything!

Inside the auction hall, countless people sighed with emotion.

In an instant, Huang Wenlong became the biggest joke of the entire event.

At this moment, Lin Yuan and his two companions, who had just left the auction hall, had already stepped into the raw stone market outside.

The bustling, lively crowds of people are immediately apparent.

Shen Wei's face remained gloomy, and he was still indignant.

He felt that returning empty-handed today was entirely due to Lin Yuan's foolishness.

Lin Yuan, however, remained calm as he surveyed the untouched raw stones scattered across the market.

A faint smile subtly appeared at the corner of her lips.

Those inside the venue lost everything.

The truly good things are often hidden in these forgotten corners.

The real bargain hunting is only just beginning.
