The sky gradually darkened.

There are no suitable flights to Kunming at this time, so I won't be able to get back tonight.

The three of them decided to find a nice hotel and book two rooms to stay temporarily.

The packaged jade was carefully moved into the room and properly placed.

After a whole afternoon of fussing, the group was finally able to catch their breath.

The atmosphere in the room was relaxed, free from the oppressive and awkward feeling of the daytime auction.

Zhou Chen looked at the top-quality jade worth tens of millions in front of him and felt very happy.

This trip to Kunming not only didn't botch the mission, but actually yielded a huge windfall.

Going back will definitely not only get you punished by your father, but you'll also amaze him!

He hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Lin Yuan beside him, his eyes filled with sincerity.

"Brother Yuan, just sell these stones to me directly."

"No matter the price, I'll pay you the full price!"

This batch of jade, especially the piece of imperial green, is extremely valuable.

If we buy them and store them at the company, we can secure the supply for the second half of the year directly, and even make a big profit.

Lin Yuan smiled calmly upon hearing this, not taking it to heart at all.

For him, money was just an external thing.

"Don't take it too seriously."

"Just pay whatever you think is appropriate."

Lin Yuan waved his hand casually.

"However, I have a small request: please leave me a few pieces of jewelry from this batch of finished jade processing products."

Simple bracelets, pendants, and jade pendants—just a few pieces are enough.

Zhou Chen immediately patted his chest and assured him, his face full of excitement.

"No problem! Leave it to me!"

"I'll find the best craftsmen in the country to meticulously craft and create the most exquisite designs for you!"

At that moment, he was overjoyed.

He really made a killing from this!

First, she followed Lin Yuan to perfectly avoid a scam worth hundreds of millions, and then she acquired a priceless raw stone at a low price.

The procurement task that had initially given him a headache was not only successfully completed, but also exceeded expectations by a huge margin!

When he returned to face his father, Zhou Mingyuan, he finally had a perfect explanation.

Shen Wei stood silently in the corner, listening attentively throughout.

I have mixed feelings in my heart.

Seeing how relaxed and content the two looked, and how much they had gained, he recalled his own foolish arrogance during the day.

He was overwhelmed by shame and couldn't lift his head the entire time.

There was no longer a trace of doubt or dissatisfaction.

Meanwhile, in the shadows below the hotel.

Two figures dressed in plain clothes were crouching low, staring intently at the room upstairs.

It was the shop assistant sent by the jade shop owner to follow them.

The two exchanged a glance and spoke in hushed tones.

"It's confirmed. The person will stay at this hotel, and all the jade has been brought along..."

Night completely enveloped Kunming.

The city lights are dazzling, and the night markets on the streets are bustling and lively, full of life.

Inside the room, the group had finished resting, and the atmosphere was exceptionally relaxed.

This was Zhou Chen's first time in Kunming, and she was very excited.

With nothing else to do, he immediately made a suggestion.

"Brother Yuan, since it's still early, let's go for a walk around the neighborhood."

"I've never been here before, and I want to see Kunming's night markets and local customs."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

For safety reasons, Lin Yuan planned to refuse.

"It's not safe at night, and there's jade here too, so it's best not to wander around."

Zhou Chen didn't take it seriously at all and waved his hand with a smile.

"Hey, Yuan-ge, you're being too cautious."

"In this day and age, in a society governed by the rule of law, public security is excellent. Where would so many bad people come from?"

Today went smoothly and I had a great harvest.

He felt relaxed and never imagined that someone would take such a risk and have such wicked thoughts.

Seeing that he was in high spirits, Lin Yuan did not try to dissuade him further.

If it's nearby, with me by your side, even petty thieves won't be able to cause any trouble.

At the same time, he made a hand gesture, leaving a special mark on the jade stone—a little trick used for tracking.

At this moment, Shen Wei, who was standing to the side, took the initiative to speak.

"Young Master Zhou, Lin Yuan, you two go out for a stroll."

"This batch of jade is too valuable and too risky, so I'll stay in the room to guard it."

After a whole day of events, he had already curbed his arrogance.

I felt guilty and just wanted to do something practical to make up for it.

Zhou Chen nodded.

"Alright, thank you for your hard work, Uncle Shen."

To be on the safe side, Zhou Chen gave the instructions again.

"Lock the door from the inside and don't open it for anyone who knocks."

"Call me immediately if anything happens."

"We'll just wander around nearby and be back in a few minutes."

Shen Wei nodded solemnly.

"Don't worry, I understand."

After saying that, he stepped forward and clicked the button.

They locked the hotel room door from the inside and then fastened the safety lock.

We reinforced the structure layer by layer to ensure absolute safety.

After taking all necessary security measures, Lin Yuan and Zhou Chen turned and left the room.

The two went down the stairs and into the bustling night market street.

A gentle evening breeze blew, and the air was filled with the sounds of people.

Tourists flocked to the area, creating a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere.

In a dark corner downstairs from the hotel, several furtive figures remained, never leaving.

They stared intently at the hotel entrance, their eyes filled with a cold, greedy glint.

inside the room.

Shen Wei sat alone in silence.

Looking at the priceless jade stones piled up tightly in the corner, he dared not relax for a moment.

He knew it in his heart.

This batch of imperial green jadeite is worth tens of millions.

It's enough to make countless people take risks.

He was just trying to comfort himself.

In broad daylight and in a society governed by the rule of law, no one would dare to act recklessly.

But he doesn't know.

A scheme targeting this batch of priceless jade stones has been quietly brewing.

Danger is closing in.
