Chapter 308 Wanting me to cut off the last road
"How long it lasts isn't the point." Su Hanze exhaled a puff of smoke and said calmly, "The point is that he made those people believe that there are good things here. As long as more people believe it, it doesn't matter whether it's true or not."

"Then what should we do?" Ah Liu said anxiously, "If he continues to do this, no one will pay attention to our mine."

"What's the hurry?" Su Hanze put down the cigarette in his hand, his eyes were cold, "He is just gambling now, gambling that these people can be kept in the dark forever. As long as we expose him, all those who believe in him will turn against him, and then it will be difficult for him to turn things around."

"But his place is packed with people now, how can we expose him?" Ah Liu scratched his head, "How about we just find a few brothers and go to the scene to cause trouble?"

"No." Su Hanze shook his head. "Making trouble is too low-level. It won't solve the problem, but will expose our intentions."

He pondered for a while, and suddenly revealed a cold smile: "Since he likes people to gamble, then we will give him some chips."

The bustle of the Dongwan jade gambling field continues. Every day, many wealthy businessmen and gamblers flock to the hall, picking and choosing among the jade raw stones, their faces full of anticipation and excitement.

At this time, a piece of news suddenly began to circulate in the market:
The Baishuishan Mine recently discovered a batch of high-quality jadeite rough stones, which are more valuable than those in the Dongwan gambling stone field and are even cheaper. After the news spread, it immediately aroused the interest of many people, and even some people who had become regular customers of the Dongwan gambling stone field began to waver.

"Baishuishan Mine? Isn't that place going to close soon? How can there be good stuff there?"

"You don't understand, do you? I heard that the mine was recently mined again, and all that was dug out was top-quality jade!"

"Is it true? Why don't we go check it out some other day? There's nothing good here in East Bay anyway."

These discussions soon reached Jin Shao's ears. He stood in the office on the second floor, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, looking coldly at the lively scene downstairs.

"Zhang Hai, what do you think about this?" he asked.

Zhang Hai hesitated for a moment and said, "Master, the incident at Baishui Mountain was most likely caused by Su Hanze. He must be trying to attract our customers with a low price and take over the business."

"Snatch it away?" Young Master Jin sneered, "He is really dreaming. If the client was so easy to snatch, I would have snatched his mine long ago."

"Then what should we do?" Zhang Hai asked cautiously.

"Watch him first." Young Master Jin put down his wine glass, a hint of danger in his eyes, "Since he wants to play, let's see who can play bigger."

A few days later, the "Jade Day" of Baishuishan Mine officially opened. The mine specially built a temporary gambling site, filled the entire hall with freshly dug jadeite raw stones, and even hired several professional jadeite appraisers to stand on the stage and explain on the spot to customers.

Su Hanze stood in the corner of the hall, his eyes coldly sweeping over the crowd. He knew that this gambling event was a trap, a trap set up specifically for Young Master Jin. He didn't need to make money from this event, his purpose was to make Young Master Jin feel pressured, and even unable to resist participating in it himself.

Sure enough, a few hours later, a black car quietly stopped at the entrance of the mine. Jin Shao, dressed in low-key casual clothes, got out of the car, followed by Zhang Hai and several bodyguards. His eyes swept across the lively scene in the hall, and his expression became colder and colder.

"Su Hanze is indeed an old fox." He whispered, "This time he came specifically for me."

"Young Master, do you want to expose them directly?" Zhang Hai asked in a low voice.

"No hurry." Young Master Jin curled his lips and sneered, "He dared to do this, which means he has the confidence. Let's see where his confidence comes from."

In the hall, Su Hanze had already noticed Jin Shao's arrival. He did not rush forward, but stood in the corner and observed the other party's every move. After a while, he walked over slowly with a half-smile on his face.

"Mr. Jin, long time no see." He took the initiative to greet him, with a barely perceptible sarcasm in his tone.

"Boss Su, I heard that your business is good recently." Young Master Jin turned his head with a fake smile on his face, "Your place is quite lively."

"It's OK, but not as good as Young Master Jin's gambling stone field." Su Hanze said calmly, "But the stones here are all genuine good stuff, and we will definitely not let our customers down."

"Really?" A hint of coldness flashed across Young Master Jin's eyes. "Then I'd like to see how good Boss Su's stuff is."

"You're welcome anytime." Su Hanze smiled, but he was thinking about his next move. He knew that the real fun of this gambling game had just begun.

After the Jade Day at Baishuishan Mine, the mine hall returned to calm, but there was still a hint of restlessness in the air. There were several pieces of cut jadeite scattered in the hall, with some light green lines showing in the cracks.

The workers were cleaning the site, while in the office, Su Hanze sat at the table, looking down at a freshly-made financial statement.

"Boss, the response to this Jade Day is good. Several old customers have expressed that they will increase their orders in the future." Ah Liu came in with a cup of hot tea, with a hint of excitement on his face. "And I heard that the number of people at Young Master Jin's gambling stone field has started to decline recently. This is a great move!"

Su Hanze raised his head and smiled slightly: "Beautiful? This is just the beginning."

"But Boss, we made a big noise this time. Young Master Jin will definitely not let it go. He is a vindictive man. Shouldn't we be on guard in advance?" Ah Liu frowned. "Should we send a few more people to keep an eye on the Dongwan gambling stone field?"

"No need to keep an eye on him." Su Hanze shook his head and said calmly, "He will come to find me in person."

"Come in person?" Ah Liu was a little confused.

"Do you think Young Master Jin is the kind of person who can sit still?" Su Hanze stood up and threw the report on the table. "He suffered a loss this time, and he will never let us off easily. Moreover, his gambling stone field looks prosperous on the surface, but in fact, it has begun to reveal its true colors."

"Leaked?" Ah Liu was stunned for a moment.

"The news spread so quickly that everyone in the market knows about it." Su Hanze sneered, "The quality of the stones in his yard is getting worse and worse. Some people have begun to doubt his supply. When he can't hold on any longer, the flaws will naturally be exposed."

At the same time, in the VIP room of the Dongwan gambling stone field, Jin Shao kicked over the chair in front of him, burning with anger. His subordinate Zhang Hai stood aside, lowering his head and not daring to say a word.

"Su Hanze, that old fox, actually dared to mess with me!" Young Master Jin gritted his teeth, his expression ferocious and terrifying, "Does he think he can steal my customers by doing a few Jade Days? Dream on!"

"Master, we are indeed in a passive position recently." Zhang Hai said cautiously, "There are more and more doubts about our stones in the market, and several major customers have stopped purchasing. If this continues..."

"Shut up!" Young Master Jin slammed the table. "Are you trying to badmouth me?"

“Don’t dare!” Zhang Hai waved his hands quickly, cold sweat on his forehead, “But, Master, we really have to find a way to fight back. If we don’t take action, those people will only look down on us even more.”

Young Master Jin snorted coldly, walked to the window, and looked at the bustling crowd downstairs. His eyes gradually calmed down, and a sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Since Su Hanze dares to do this, don't blame me for being rude. Isn't his mine known for its high-quality jade? Then I will let him know what it means to cut off someone's financial resources."

Zhang Hai's eyes lit up: "Master, you want to..." "Prevent the goods from leaving the mine." Young Master Jin turned around, his eyes cold, "All the goods that can be intercepted, intercept them all. Doesn't he like to stir up trouble? Then let him know what the rules between businessmen are."

"I understand!" Zhang Hai nodded repeatedly, turned around and prepared to make arrangements.

The next morning, a truck from the Baishuishan Mine was stopped on a mountain road just after leaving the mine.

Several masked men holding steel pipes drove the driver out of the car and smashed all the goods on the car. When the driver ran back to the mine to report the news, his face turned pale with fear and he could not speak clearly.

After Su Hanze heard this, his expression remained calm, and he simply asked, "Is he okay?"

"The people are fine, but the cargo..." the driver's voice was trembling, "It's all destroyed."

"It's okay." Su Hanze waved his hand and turned to look at Ah Liu, "What do you think?"

"Boss, this must have been done by Young Master Jin's people!" Ah Liu gritted his teeth, "This guy really won't give up, we have to fight back!"

"Fight back?" Su Hanze sneered, "He wants to intercept our goods, so let him intercept as much as he wants."

"But boss, if our goods are intercepted again, we won't be able to explain to the customers!" Ah Liu was a little anxious.

"Don't worry, the cargo this time is not important at all." Su Hanze sneered, "The things on the car are just some waste stones. If they are willing to smash them, let them smash them."

Ah Liu immediately understood and couldn't help laughing: "Great! Boss, this is a ruthless move!"

"However, we can't let them get too complacent." Su Hanze narrowed his eyes, "For the next batch of goods, we'll bypass their territory and go through Xiwan."

"I understand!" Ah Liu nodded in response.

At the same time, Mr. Jin was listening to his subordinates' reports in his office.

"Master, we intercepted a truck of their goods and smashed all the stones on the truck. There is absolutely no good stuff coming out." One of the men said excitedly.

"Well done." Young Master Jin nodded, a smug smile on his face, "Does Su Hanze think he can win? His little tricks are not good enough."

"But..." Zhang Hai suddenly interrupted, "Master, I heard that he has started to take a detour, and the next batch of goods will go through Xiwan."

"Xiwan?" Young Master Jin frowned, "He dares to touch that place?"

"I heard that he has found a few small gangs in Xiwan to cooperate with him." Zhang Hai whispered, "It seems that he is determined to fight us to the end."

Young Master Jin was silent for a while, then suddenly laughed: "Then let him fight. People in Xiwan are not so easy to talk to. If he really dares to touch the road over there, he will seek death."

A few days later, Su Hanze personally led a group of people to escort a batch of goods from the mountain road in Xiwan to the dock. He stood beside the truck, looking around coldly, holding a cigarette in his hand, looking particularly calm.

"Boss, are you really going there in person?" Ah Liu was a little worried, "What if someone ambushes us along the way..."

"It would be better if someone ambushed him." Su Hanze exhaled a puff of smoke, his tone revealing a hint of coldness, "I want to see what other tricks Young Master Jin has."

The truck had just driven a short distance when it was stopped at a mountain pass. Several motorcycles were parked in the middle of the road, with several men wearing helmets sitting on them, all holding weapons in their hands, looking malicious.

"Stop!" the leader shouted, and the truck drivers quickly braked and the convoy stopped.

Su Hanze got out of the passenger seat and looked at those people coldly, saying calmly, "Why, Young Master Jin's people?"

Those people were obviously stunned for a moment. They didn't expect Su Hanze to show up in person. The leader hesitated for a moment and said, "We are from Xiwan, not sent by Young Master Jin."

"Not Young Master Jin's men?" Su Hanze raised his eyebrows, his expression not panicking at all. "Then why did you stop our car? What do you want to do?"

"You can't pass this road without our permission." The leader snorted coldly, "Rules are rules."

Su Hanze smiled: "Rules? Then let's talk about the price."

A few hours later, the truck passed smoothly, and the people who blocked the road stood aside, watching Su Hanze's back as he went away, with a hint of fear in their eyes. In the car, Ah Liu couldn't help asking, "Boss, what did you talk to them about just now?"

"It's simple. Just buy your way through." Su Hanze said calmly, "Young Master Jin wants to make it difficult for us, but the people in Xiwan are even greedier. As long as they have money, everything can be solved."

"Then this time..." Ah Liu hesitated to speak.

"Mr. Jin thought he had the upper hand, but he forgot that what businessmen fear most is internal friction." Su Hanze sneered, "Next, it will be his turn to suffer."

The morning light of the Baishuishan Mine penetrates the mist and shines on the hillside. Workers drag their sleepy bodies into the mine. The air is filled with ore dust and moisture.

In the mine office, Su Hanze was standing in front of a map, holding a cigarette in his hand, but he was hesitant to light it. He stared at the red line on the map marking the transportation route, frowning slightly, as if he was thinking about something important.

Ah Liu hurried in from outside, looking uneasy: "Boss, the truck was detained by the Port Authority as soon as it arrived at the dock last night."

Su Hanze turned his head, his eyes turned cold: "What's the reason?"

"They said there was something wrong with our manifest and suspected smuggling." Ah Liu wiped the sweat off his forehead and added in a low voice, "I asked around and it's probably Young Master Jin who's behind this."

Su Hanze snorted softly and broke the cigarette in his hand: "He wants to cut off my last chance."

"What should we do now?" Ah Liu asked anxiously, "If we can't deliver this batch of goods, the customer will definitely be in a big mess."
