Chapter 544: Jackpot Nonstop – 2

Wu Zhiheng was still cutting his jade stone in front of the machine as he could not accept the truth.

As for Chu Yunsheng, he was standing frozen stiff at the entrance after he had been busted for trying to run away.

Fu Zhi lifted her brows slightly and said, “Chu Yunsheng? Master Chu? Where do you think you’re going? You haven’t paid for the jade stone yet.”

With that, everyone turned their heads around and looked contemptuously at Chu Yunsheng.

“Master Chu, didn’t you tell everyone that your jade stone is Imperial Jade? So what now? You try to run away after realizing that you’re wrong? Don’t you think you should hold up the end of your bargain and apologize to Ms. Fu as well as pay for the jade stone?”

“That’s right, Master Chu. You’re a highly achieved senior in stone gambling. Besides, no one will laugh at you even if you fail once. However, if you go back on your words, it’s going to affect your reputation, don’t you think so?”

“Master Chu, you’ve been my idol for many years, and if you refuse to pay for the jade stone, people might look down on you if they learn what you’ve done here.”

“Want to run away? What a coward!”

Chu Yunsheng had never been humiliated this way in his life before. His eyes turned red around the rims and he gnashed his teeth so tightly that his whole body was shaking.

After a long while, he took a deep breath and pulled two bank cards from his pocket. “Of course, I’ll not run away. I just don’t have enough money in my card and want to go back and get it. After all, no one leaves home with 200 million, right?”

“Isn’t it the same if you ask your disciple to go get it for you?” Jin Can chimed in, “Or you have a bomb tied to your money, so you’re the only one who can take it without it exploding?”

Chu Yunsheng became speechless.

‘Must you say it out loud?’

Chu Yunsheng suppressed his embarrassment and laughed, “Of course anyone can take it.”

He then turned to his disciple and said, “You go take the money.”

“... Yes, master.”

Very soon, Chu Yunsheng’s disciple went away, while the staff of the Lucky Cloud Pavilion took over the two bank cards in Chu Yunsheng’s hand.

“I’m sorry, Ms. Fu,” Chu Yunsheng said as he inadvertently touched his emptied pocket, “It’s my fault. I shouldn’t look down on you. You really are very good at stone gambling and I hope you can forgive me for my bad attitude.”

“Forgive you? Master Chu, if my memory serves me right, you said that the loser has to kneel down and admit his mistake to the winner?”

Initially, Chu Yunsheng wanted Fu Zhi to kneel before him and admit her mistake. It was just that he did not anticipate his defeat. He did not want to kneel before Fu Zhi. Besides, he was older, and he thought Fu Zhi would at least show him some respect even if he lost.

However, little did he expect that Fu Zhi would insist he kneel down to ask her for forgiveness. His expression turned grim and he growled, “Fu Zhi, you defeated me by pure sheer luck, do you really think you’re better than me? In this business, I’m still the God’s Eye that everyone respects, so what’s in it for you for forcing me to kneel down and apologize to you?”

“I like it. That’s all,” Fu Zhi replied flatly.

Talking about luck, Fu Zhi had some comments about it, “Stone gambling is essentially a gambling game. Aside from experience and knowledge, we have to rely on luck as well. However, for a bad-tempered, dishonest person like you who likes to go back on your words, I think you won’t have any luck in your life.”

“You—!”

Fu Zhi then continued, “Besides, are you sure you will let me off the hook if I’m the one who loses the bet? If you can’t, then don’t you think you’re slapping your own face here?”

“How dare you, Fu Zhi!” Chu Yunsheng snarled as he clenched his fist tightly, “Who do you think you are, huh? The fact that you one this bet doesn’t mean that you’re better than me. In stone gambling, I’m still more experienced than you, so I’ll never kneel and apologize to you!”

“You won’t? It’s fine for me, I have plenty of time and I can do this all day with you.”

“Master Chu, Ms. Fu is right. Hurry up and get it done. There are still a lot of jade stones waiting to be cut,” someone chimed in.

Chu Yunsheng was so infuriated that he nearly passed out. Everyone around him was urging him to kneel down and apologize to Fu Zhi, but there was no way he was going to do that.

He closed his eyes up and fell into contemplation. After a short while, he cracked his eyes open and said, “If you want me to kneel before you, sure, but you’ll have to compete with me again. This time, each of us will pick another five jade stones. If the quality of my jades is better than yours, you’ll have to pay for them and I don’t have to apologize to you anymore. Of course, it works the same way for you as well.”

“How can you be so shameless, Chu Yunsheng?” Someone shouted, “Don’t care about him, Ms. Fu. You’ve already won, and you can force him to apologize to you. Besides, he has just paid 200 million for your jade stone, how are there any possibilities he still has money left to pay for the rest?”

“That’s right, Ms. Fu. Chu Yunsheng must be up for something no good, so you must not fall for his trap!”

“You have to think twice, Ms. Fu!”

Everyone was asking Fu Zhi to ignore Chu Yunsheng. Even Jin Can also joined in the fray and said, “Let’s don’t care about him. He’s a shameless prick!”

Chu Yunsheng’s expression was grim as he listened to the comments about him.

Fu Zhi thought for a while and said, “I don’t think you can afford another ten jade stones, right?”

The anger on Chu Yunsheng’s face ebbed a little when he heard what Fu Zhi said.

“You really are so full of yourself, Ms. Fu,” Chu Yunsheng said. He felt there must be something wrong with Fu Zhi’s head. It was pure luck that she could get an Imperial Jade, did she really think she could defeat him, someone with more than ten years of experience in stone gambling? He was certain that he could turn the table around with the five jade stones and got the 200 million back.

With that thought in mind, Chu Yunsheng turned to Wu Zhiheng, who was sobbing at the side with the stone in his arms and said, “Young Master Wu. Please give us another chance to trust each other. I believe that this time, I can definitely lead you to win the last battle against poverty, and the Wu Family and the Chu Family will head for prosperity together!”

Fu Zhi did not know what to say.

Without Wu Qi, the Wu Family was like a heap of loose sand. She did not need to say anything and Wu Zhiheng had already fallen for the trap.

Wu Zhiheng had full faith in Chu Yunsheng, and if Wu Qi was still around, he would certainly give his son a big slap in his cheek, but unfortunately, Wu Qi was not here right now.

Chu Yunsheng nodded and he turned back to Fu Zhi. “The Wu Family will bear the cost with me. So, are you up for the challenge, Ms. Fu?”

“Well, of course. Let’s do it.”

“Zhizhi!” Jin Can’s expression changed and he shouted when he heard what Fu Zhi said, “Are you out of your mind?”

“Don’t worry, Uncle Jin. I know what I’m doing.”

Jin Can did not know what to say.

—

There were 48 pieces of jade stones left in the Lucky Cloud Pavilion. By right, the rest of the people could pick their favorite jade stones from the batch of jade stones. Whoever got the number tag and went to make the payment at the registration desk first would get the priority to buy the jade stone.

However, everyone was focusing on the competition between Fu Zhi and Chu Yunsheng right now, so nobody went to pick the jade stones.

Standing on the side, Chu Yunsheng threw a condescending glance at Fu Zhi and said, “Ms. Fu, I’m older and I have more experience than you. In order to prevent people from saying that I’m bullying you, I can let you choose first. Which row of jade stones are you going to start with?”

“Thank you very much, Mr. Generous. I will start from the last row, then,” Fu Zhi replied.

Chu Yunsheng, aka Mr. Generous, fell silent.

He had no idea why but he felt a little bit dizzy.

The crowd shook their heads at Fu Zhi. They did not know why Fu Zhi had to say yes to the challenge. In their opinion, there was no way she could defeat Chu Yunsheng.

Fu Zhi did not care about the others and started to look at the jade stones. There was a serious expression on her face, and some of the people in the crowd chuckled when they saw that she did not use any tools to study the jade stones.

“Is she not going to use any tool?”

“Huh? I just blinked my eyes and she has already decided on one? Does she know what she’s doing or not?”

“I’m sure she knows what she’s doing. Or else, how do you think that she can get an Imperial Jade on her first try?”

“That’s because she’s lucky. It doesn’t mean that she’s good at it.”

“Besides, Master Chu is known as the God’s Eyes in stone gambling. There’s no way she can defeat him this time.”

“That’s right. Although Chu Yunsheng made a mistake during his first try, I’m sure he’ll pull himself together this time.”

Everyone was expressing their opinion about the competition, while Wu Zhiheng was pacing back and forth anxiously.

He did not know if it was the right decision to support Chu Yunsheng or not, and he did not know what his father would do if he learned about the competition. The only thing he knew right now was that he had to make Fu Zhi pay for everything that she had put the Wu Family through.

In the meantime, Fu Zhi had finished viewing the jade stones.

There was a time limit for both of them, and they only had 30 minutes to pick the jade stones that they wanted.

After they had selected the jade stones that they wanted, they would give the number tag to the staff and the staff would start cutting the jade stones once time was up.

Fu Zhi had already selected three jade stones, but she did not pick the last two jade stones.

“Fu Zhi, are you done?” Chu Yunsheng asked.

“Yes,” Fu Zhi replied without lifting her head, “You should start getting your money ready.”

Chu Yunsheng did not know what to say. He looked at Fu Zhi like he was looking at a fool and said, “You just took 10 minutes to pick your jade stones and you still think you can defeat me?”

“Hahaha, what a funny little girl. Who doesn’t know that the most important aspects to consider when evaluating a jade stone are texture. Even an expert like Chu Yunsheng also needs about 20 minutes to evaluate a jade stone!”
