"No need!"

Zhang Jingshan snorted and responded.

"What's wrong? Scared? This isn't like you, Zhang Jingshan!" Li Changfeng continued to provoke.

However, Zhang Jingshan ignored him.

Instead, he looked towards Ye Chen.

"Mr. Ye, do you have confidence?"

"Somewhat," Ye Chen smiled faintly.

The reason he didn't ask Old Huang to take action on the previously cut stones was not because he didn't know they could appreciate.

However, even if they did appreciate, it wouldn't be worth much.

At best, they would be worth three to five hundred thousand.

This wouldn't fill the gap in the amount Old Huang needed.

So, he had been waiting until now.

In his previous life, this piece of black Wu Sha stone, which had been bid at 130,000, was left unsold again. At the last moment, a beginner in gambling stones bought it just to join in the fun. Without even opening a window, they cut it directly, revealing high-quality old blue water with snowflake cotton.

It was immediately purchased by a collector for 1.3 million.

After hearing Ye Chen's answer, Zhang Jingshan turned his head to Li Mu and continued, "What I said is, I'm not backing out. It's not that I'm not betting, I just don't want to take advantage of you. I'm not short of that few hundred thousand. Let's bet a million. If there's nothing inside, I'll lose a million to you!"

"Haha, alright, bold, just like the old secretary's grandson. Much better than your father!" Li Mu laughed loudly.

"Can you stop being so sarcastic? Just act like a man!" Zhang Jingshan said angrily.

"Enough talk, come on, cut this piece of black Wu Sha!" Li Mu shook his head dismissively.

At this moment, Old Huang was beginning to hesitate.

These young masters were squabbling; it had nothing to do with him.

But those tens of thousands were his last hope for a comeback.

If he lost them, where would he go to cry?

"Uh, I..." Just as Old Huang was about to back out.

Zhang Jingshan, noticing his inner hesitation, said, "If you don't want this stone, just give it to me, I'll cut it!"

"Mr. Zhang, this doesn't seem right, it's still first come, first served!" Ye Chen, who was trying to help Old Huang, immediately spoke up.

"Isn't he already backing out?" Zhang Jingshan replied.

Ye Chen ignored him and instead smiled at Old Huang, saying, "Old Huang, you really don't trust me?"

"I know, that's why I'm hoping you'll trust me just this once!" Ye Chen replied.

With a deep breath, Old Huang finally bit his lip and said, "Alright, I trust you!"

Once Old Huang confirmed his choice to keep the black Wu Sha stone, everyone immediately moved to the stone cutting machine.

"Do you need to check the window first?" the stone cutter asked.

"No need, just cut a slice from the side," Ye Chen said, taking the lead.

Old Huang nodded.

His palms were already sweating.

If this was cut wrong, he was finished.

The machine hummed to life.

With the attention of Ye Chen, Zhang Jingshan, Li Changfeng, Li Mu, Old Huang, and several onlookers, the sharp sound of the cutting began.

"It's colored, it's increasing in value!" the stone cutter shouted as soon as he saw the blue light emerging.

In an instant, everyone held their breath, except for Ye Chen.

One more cut.

The blue light dazzled!

It was old blue water with snowflake cotton — this was high-quality old blue water with snowflake cotton!

As the stone cutter exclaimed in surprise, the scene erupted into excitement.

Old blue water was already rare, and old blue water with snowflakes was even rarer.

This... This actually came from a black Wu Sha that was almost guaranteed to fail?

"This is a huge increase in value!"

"It must be worth at least a million!"

"Damn, this is the first time I've seen old blue water with snowflakes!"

Amid the excitement, Zhang Jingshan and Li Changfeng were left stunned.

Ye Chen's intuition... Is it that accurate?

If the previous cases were coincidences, what about this one?

"Sir, one million, no need to cut further, just sell it to me, how about it?" A middle-aged man hurriedly approached Old Huang.

At this moment, Old Huang's mind was a blank.

His eyes were still fixed, unbelieving, on the piece of black Wu Sha that had been cut open.

He had been prepared to face the darkness of hell.

But now, after the cut, it was the most brilliant paradise he could imagine.

"Sir, what do you think? Sell it?" The middle-aged man asked again, seeing Old Huang's silence.

"Ah!" Old Huang snapped back to reality.

"I said, one million, sell it? If you agree, we can finalize the deal now, no need to cut further!" The man smiled.

One million...

It was enough to pay off the loan.

It was enough to save his mother's life!

Just as Old Huang was about to agree, Ye Chen suddenly spoke up, "One million is a bit low."

"One million too low? That's just for one side, and this is still a gamble!" The man raised his eyebrows.

"With the full quality like this, do you think there's any chance it'll fail if you cut more? If you really want it, take it for 1.3 million!" Ye Chen said.

"Seems like this stone isn't yours, right?" The middle-aged man said, a little dissatisfied.

He had clearly seen Old Huang's eager expression earlier, but now that Ye Chen spoke...

Old Huang immediately pointed to Ye Chen and said, "I'll listen to him!"

"What are you dragging for? One point three million or not? If not, I'll take it!"

Seeing this, Zhang Jingshan also joined in to help.

The middle-aged man's face showed some hesitation.

In the end, he couldn't resist, "Alright, 1.3 million, 1.3 million it is! Give me your bank account, I'll transfer the money directly!"

"Alright, alright, thank you!" Old Huang said, overjoyed.

When he finally received the confirmation SMS of 1.3 million transferred, he still felt like he was dreaming.

It felt so surreal.

He hugged Ye Chen tightly, his eyes tearing up. "I don't know how to repay you for this favor. When my mother gets better, I'll bring her here to thank you!"

"Alright, I've just had good luck recently. I felt this stone had something special. No need to be so grateful, just go back to the hospital and take care of your mom!" Ye Chen shook his head and smiled, refusing to take credit.

"Alright, I'll call you later!" Old Huang wiped away his tears.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, he quickly left.

He had just been informed by the hospital that today was the last chance. If he couldn't secure the funds, the kidney would be given to someone else. He didn't know when the next opportunity would come, and his mother's condition could no longer wait.

"Li Shao, do you remember what I said? Your uncle will always be your uncle. I won't renege on the million!"

After Old Huang left, Zhang Jingshan immediately smirked at the upset Li Mu.

"Don't worry, I, Li Mu, am not short of that million!"

Even though Li Mu was fuming inside, he had no choice but to swallow his anger.

He turned to Ye Chen and said, "I didn't expect you to actually get lucky!"

"Yes, in Li Mu's eyes, Ye Chen was just a lucky fool. He didn't believe Ye Chen could actually tell that the black Wu Sha would appreciate."

After all, if Ye Chen really knew, why would he have given such a huge opportunity to someone else?

This was just a bottom-tier gambler who frequently borrowed money!

Repeatedly insulted, Ye Chen's anger grew.

Originally, he didn't want to bother with Li Mu, especially since the Four Seas Group's young master wouldn't be shining for much longer.

But after the constant ridicule, Ye Chen felt he had to give Li Mu a good lesson. Otherwise, the frustration in his heart wouldn't go away!
