Duan Fei indeed appeared in the telescope, his face flushed from drinking a lot of alcohol. It seemed he was very excited. Zhang Yang sneered and watched as Duan Fei opened the roller shutter and walked into Feicui Xuan.
Lighting up the cigarette he hadn't finished, Zhang Yang calculated the time and waited quietly.
As Zhang Yang had anticipated, everything tonight was planned by Duan Fei during the day.
Stimulated by Zhang Yang's continuous success in cracking the jade, Duan Fei remained in a daze after Zhang Yang left. Every time he saw the old pit material, his heart would race uncontrollably. By the afternoon, he could no longer hold back and found Zhou Yiran.
"Master Zhou, is that old pit rough material really that good?" Duan Fei asked.
Zhou Yiran's beard bristled with anger. It was one thing for a young upstart to question him, but now even his own people were doubting him, which was an insult.
"Of course. I've been in the jade business for decades. How could I not know what good rough material looks like? I can say with 70-80% certainty that this rough material will yield jade." Zhou Yiran said.
"If that's the case, why don't we crack it ourselves?" Duan Fei asked.
Zhou Yiran glanced at Duan Fei and said, "You and I have the same idea. Although I'm not superstitious, that Zhang Yang kid is indeed strange. I've also heard that before he cracked the jade yesterday, he said he felt good. I just called Boss Lei and mentioned the matter of cracking the stone."
Duan Fei's heart sank. Boss Lei was the one collaborating with Xiao Fei, and all the jade stones were transported by him. In a sense, they were all his goods. If he agreed, wouldn't Duan Fei's dream of getting rich vanish?
"What did Boss Lei say?" Duan Fei asked nervously.
Zhou Yiran said, "Boss Lei said he would discuss it with Boss Xiao and let us know tomorrow."
After returning from Zhou Yiran, Duan Fei couldn't sit still anymore. He had been hesitating about whether to take this risk, but now he realized there was no time left. If Boss Lei and the others agreed tomorrow and cracked out a priceless jade, wouldn't Duan Fei's excitement be in vain?
Such a huge fortune was right in front of him. Was he going to let it slip away just like that?
Duan Fei finally made up his mind. He would crack the stone himself and personally reveal the jade. As long as he sold the jade, he wouldn't have to work for Xiao Fei anymore. With a few million, he could live a life of luxury abroad.
This led to the dinner gathering that night. Only after everyone was drunk and no one would return to the store did Duan Fei sneak back.
Looking at the old pit rough material in the warehouse, Duan Fei, already excited from the alcohol, couldn't control himself. He hugged the rough material and kissed it. "Ha ha, this priceless jade will soon belong to me!" Duan Fei laughed maniacally.
A few minutes later, Duan Fei was stunned. The rough material was cut to pieces, and the jade that came out was only as big as a child's palm. Although Duan Fei had never seen glass jade, he knew that what he had in his hand was definitely not glass jade, as it was not as good as the jade Zhang Yang had cracked.
Impossible? Impossible! Zhang Yang said he felt good, and Master Zhou said there was jade inside. How could there be only this little bit of jade! What should I do? What should I do? Three million! Three million is gone!
Duan Fei, like a gambler who had lost everything, looked around and saw the rough material on the shelves. A thought uncontrollably entered his mind. To recover his losses, he had to continue cracking the stone. Yes, crack the stone. There was still so much rough material here. As long as he cracked one piece of glass jade, it would be worth tens of millions, enough to cover the loss of the rough material.
With this in mind, Duan Fei went crazy, moving another piece of rough material to the stone-cutting machine.
No! Continue!
Duan Fei was completely driven mad. When he sobered up and came to his senses, he was shocked to see the ground covered with broken stones. The rough material on the shelves was almost all cut, with only a few pieces left. The jade in his hand, in total, was only three pieces, the largest not even as big as a fist. Selling all of it wouldn't even cover the cost of one piece of rough material.
While Duan Fei was cracking the stone, Zhang Yang happily smoked, looking at the quiet Feicui Xuan. Duan Fei must have been very stimulated by now, having cracked the old pit material. Zhang Yang wondered if Duan Fei would run away or continue cracking the stone.
After waiting a few minutes and seeing no sign of Duan Fei, Zhang Yang laughed happily. He already knew the result.
Greed is indeed the greatest sin.
Taking out his phone with a space card, Zhang Yang dialed 999.
"Hello, is this the police? I was driving past Feicui Xuan and saw someone sneaking in, suspecting a thief. Please come and check it out." Zhang Yang hung up.
Without pausing, he dialed Ma Guojun's phone.
The phone rang for a long time before a drunken voice answered, "Who is it?"
"Is this Mr. Ma?" Zhang Yang's phone had a layer of gauze over the microphone, so Ma Guojun couldn't recognize his voice.
"It's me. Can we talk about it tomorrow?" Ma Guojun said, his head aching.
"Tomorrow might be too late. I just saw someone enter Feicui Xuan. Believe it or not, it's up to you." Zhang Yang hung up, took out the SIM card, broke it, and threw it away.
Looking at Feicui Xuan, Zhang Yang knew it was time to leave. If he waited until the police arrived, it would be suspicious for him to be here so late. Starting the car, Zhang Yang said softly, "Duan Fei, don't die. I still want to visit you in prison!"
After Zhang Yang hung up, Ma Guojun was shocked and shouted, "Hey, hey, who are you?"
Hearing the beeping on the other end, Ma Guojun knew the caller had hung up. Was what this mysterious person said true or false? It didn't matter. Even if it was false, he had to go back and check. It was his shift today, and if something really happened, he would be in big trouble.
Thinking about this, Ma Guojun couldn't sleep anymore. He hurriedly put on his clothes and took a taxi back to Feicui Xuan.
When Ma Guojun arrived at Feicui Xuan, he saw a police car parked outside, and two police officers were knocking on the door.
"Officer, what's the matter?" Ma Guojun rushed over.
"We received a report that someone broke into Feicui Xuan. Who are you?" The police officer looked at Ma Guojun suspiciously.
"I'm Ma Guojun, the hall manager here. I'm on duty today," Ma Guojun said quickly.
"Then open the door. We'll go in and check. If there's nothing, we'll leave," the police officer said.
"Okay, okay, I'll open the door," Ma Guojun said.
Hastily opening the roller shutter, Ma Guojun noticed something was wrong. The glass door inside was unlocked, which the sales staff would never do. He nervously told the police, "It seems someone really did get in."
Hearing this, the police officer immediately became alert and said to Ma Guojun, "Wait outside. We'll go in and check."
Ma Guojun nodded and stepped back.
The two police officers went in, and soon a police officer's voice came from inside, "Don't move, raise your hands!"
"What are you doing? I'm the manager here," a voice shouted.
Ma Guojun was stunned. Wasn't that Duan Fei's voice? What was he doing here?
Thinking about this, Ma Guojun felt something was wrong and pushed open the door, walking to the warehouse where the rough material was stored. He saw Duan Fei being pressed to the ground by the police.
"Manager Ma, do you know this person?" the police officer asked.
"He's Duan Fei, our director. Director Duan, what are you doing here?" Ma Guojun said.
Hearing that Duan Fei was also a manager, the police officer let him go.
Duan Fei's face was very pale, and he gasped, "I have something to do, I'll leave first."
By this time, Ma Guojun had already seen the scene in the warehouse and screamed, "Catch him, catch him, he
