Chapter 309 Explosive News
"Let them make a fuss." Su Hanze said coldly, "It's Young Master Jin who is in a hurry now, not us."

Ah Liu was stunned: "Boss, what do you mean?"

"He thought he could defeat us by intercepting our cargo. He underestimated me." Su Hanze picked up another document from the table and threw it in front of Ah Liu. "Contact the shipping company in Xiwan and ask them to arrange a ship tonight. Skip the dock and go directly to the bay."

Ah Liu looked at the document and still felt a little worried: "But Boss, if Young Master Jin keeps watching..."

"Can he keep an eye on us?" Su Hanze sneered, "We can bypass his eyes and if he wants to stop us again, he will have to do it himself. By then, he will reveal even bigger flaws."

At the same time, the gambling area of ​​the East Bay Casino was still bustling with people, jadeite raw stones were brought to the gambling table piece by piece, and people's bidding was heard one after another. Standing behind the glass window on the second floor, Jin Shao looked at the noisy scene in the hall with cold eyes, and the wine glass in his hand shook slightly.

"Master, the goods from the mine were seized." Zhang Hai stood behind him and whispered, "Their losses this time are not small."

"Humph, they deserve it." Young Master Jin sneered, with a hint of pride in his eyes, "Does Su think he can beat me? Those broken stones of his are useless no matter how many there are."

"But..." Zhang Hai hesitated, "I heard that Su Hanze has contacted the shipping company in Xiwan and may want to transport the goods through Xiaowankou."

"Xiwan?" Young Master Jin frowned slightly, but a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. "It seems that he is really at the end of his rope. He even dares to touch the waterway of Xiwan."

Zhang Hai asked tentatively: "Master, should we also take action? If we can stop his boat..."

"No need to move." Young Master Jin waved his hand, his tone relaxed, "The waterway over in Xiwan is not like the Hong Kong Island Pier. There are many people who want to get a piece of the pie on that road. As long as he dares to leave, there is no need for us to do anything. There are already a group of hungry wolves waiting to tear his flesh apart."

"Master is very smart." Zhang Hai showed a flattering smile, "Then we will sit back and watch the fight until he destroys himself."

"That's right." Young Master Jin picked up the wine glass and took a sip. "But keep a close eye on him. We will finish him off when he is completely unable to recover."

At nightfall, the trucks from the Baishuishan Mine slowly drove away, passing through the rugged mountain road and heading straight for the small dock in Xiwan. Su Hanze personally sat in the last car in the convoy, his eyes sharply scanning the grass and trees on the roadside. He knew that this trip tonight would never be peaceful.

After arriving at the dock, several workers quickly loaded the goods onto the ship. The captain, an old veteran, urged them while smoking: "Hurry up, there are many people watching this waterway recently, we can't stay here for too long."

Ah Liu looked around and asked Su Hanze in a low voice: "Boss, do you think Young Master Jin's men will follow us?"

"He won't come in person, but he will definitely keep an eye on it." Su Hanze took out a list from his pocket and handed it to Ah Liu. "These people are the clues on the Xiwan waterway. We will see how they perform tonight."

Ah Liu took the list with a complicated look in his eyes: "Boss, are you planning to..."

"Since Young Master Jin likes to play dirty, then we'll play along to the end." Su Hanze said calmly, but his eyes revealed a fierceness. "The goods tonight are not the point. The point is, we need to know who is backing him up."

At the same time, in a small bar in Xiwan, several hooligans were drinking and chatting. The leader was a bald man, shaking a glass of whiskey in his hand, with a cynical smile on his face.

"I heard that Su Hanze's ship will take our route tonight?" asked the bald man.

"Yes, I just received news that their goods have been loaded onto the ship." A tall and thin man said with a smile, "Brother, do you want to make some money?"

"Lucky?" The bald man sneered, "Do you know how much the stuff on this ship is worth? If we touch these goods, not only Su Hanze, but also Young Master Jin's people will not let us go."

"Then let's just watch?" The tall and thin man seemed a little unwilling.

"It doesn't seem like a bad thing." The bald man took a sip of wine, a sly look flashing in his eyes, "As long as we know their movements, at the critical moment, we can make both sides owe us a favor."

As the night deepened, the boat loaded with jadeite slowly sailed into the waterway of Xiwan. Su Hanze stood at the bow, his eyes coldly sweeping across the water, the sound of water hitting the side of the boat in his ears.

"Boss, someone is following us." Ah Liu reminded in a low voice.

Su Hanze turned his head and saw a few small boats following their fleet on the water in the distance, with their lights flickering, like a group of lurking hunters.

"Don't panic." Su Hanze's tone was unusually calm. "Keep moving forward and let them think we didn't notice."

The fleet continued to move forward, and the small boats were getting closer and closer, and the figures of the people on the boats could even be seen clearly. At this moment, Su Hanze suddenly picked up the intercom and ordered: "Stop the boats."

The cargo ship slowly stopped, and the small boats seemed to hesitate and did not approach immediately.

"Boss, what should we do now?" Liu asked nervously.

"Let them come closer." Su Hanze sneered, "Since they want to see, let them see clearly."

Sure enough, within a few minutes, the small boats approached the cargo ship one by one, and one of the leaders shouted, "Does the cargo on your ship need to pass our checkpoint?"

"Are you from Xiwan?" Su Hanze asked coldly while standing at the bow.

"Yes, we are the old rules here." The man smiled proudly, "Without our permission, your goods cannot pass this road."

"Okay." Su Hanze suddenly smiled, "Since it's the rule, let's talk about the price."

The other party obviously didn't expect him to be so straightforward. He was stunned for a moment, then whispered a few words. Not long after, the man walked up and said a number.

After hearing this, Su Hanze laughed even more happily: "I'll give you double the price, but..." His tone changed and became extremely cold, "I want your people to tell me who is backing you up."

The other person's expression suddenly changed. The atmosphere on the boat suddenly became tense. It was quiet all around, with only the sound of water and the croaking of frogs in the distance.

"Even if you don't tell me, I can still check." Su Hanze threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, his tone as cold as ice, "But after checking, it won't be this price anymore."

The leader lowered his head and pondered for a while, finally gritted his teeth and said a name. After listening to it, Su Hanze showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth: "Very good, you don't have to touch the goods tonight, I will take care of the rest." The fleet started again, and the group of small boats quietly disappeared into the darkness.

Back on shore, Ah Liu couldn't help but ask, "Boss, are the names they said real?"

"Whether it's true or not is not important." Su Hanze said calmly, "What's important is that Young Master Jin thought he could win, but he always underestimated how far I could go."

The night was dark, and the lights in the Baishuishan Mine seemed particularly bright. Workers at the mine entrance were still busy loading jadeite raw stones onto trucks. Su Hanze stood on the highest platform in the mine, holding a cigarette in his hand, but he didn't light it. He stared at the busy workers below with deep eyes, as if he was thinking about the next plan.

Ah Liu came up from behind, panting a little, "Boss, I just received news that Young Master Jin's people are active again in Xiwan. Not only have they targeted our transportation lines recently, they have also started to contact some small gangs around the mine, hoping to get them to cooperate in blocking us."

After listening to this, Su Hanze raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "Young Master Jin is getting anxious."

"Yeah, I heard that Master Jin's business at the Dongwan gambling stone field hasn't been going well recently, and his customers have started to leave." Ah Liu said with a bit of pride, "The last batch of goods we delivered to the customer bypassed his eyes and went straight to the customer, giving him a big slap in the face!"

"Don't get complacent too soon." Su Hanze glanced at Ah Liu and said calmly, "Young Master Jin is not someone you can easily deal with. He dares to press so hard, which means he has other cards in his hand. Keep a close eye on his actions, especially the flow of funds in his casino."

Ah Liu nodded, and was about to turn around and leave, but stopped again, frowned and said, "But, Boss, I don't quite understand. Young Master Jin's people have suddenly been buying up a lot of jade in the jade market these days, and they are all inferior products. What do you think he is doing?"

Su Hanze narrowed his eyes, as if he had suddenly figured something out. He threw the cigarette in his hand to the ground and stomped it out with his foot: "He's taking a big gamble."

"Take a big gamble?" Ah Liu was a little confused.

"The gambling stone field business can no longer sustain itself. He wants to use these inferior products to create a fake market and draw the market's attention back." Su Hanze sneered, "He is playing with fire."

In the Dongwan gambling stone field, Young Master Jin stood in the middle of the hall, his eyes sweeping across the busy scene. He was wearing a well-tailored suit, but his expression was a little impatient.

Although there were many gamblers in the hall, the atmosphere was obviously not as lively as before. More people were standing aside and watching, and only a few were still trying to select jadeite rough stones.

"Master, our customer flow has indeed dropped a lot in the past few days." Zhang Hai stood behind him and whispered, "Those rumors spread quickly in the market, and some customers have begun to doubt our stones."

"Doubt?" Young Master Jin sneered, "They think too much. When the next batch of goods arrives, I will let them see with their own eyes what a miracle is."

"Young Master, you mean..." Zhang Hai asked tentatively.

"That's right." Young Master Jin turned around with a sinister smile on his face, "All those defective products swept in will be brought into the market, and a few people will be assigned to cut the price up with one knife, and cut out the imperial green! I don't believe that these idiots can still not believe it!"

"Great, Master, this is a ruthless move!" Zhang Hai instantly understood Master Jin's intention and flattered him, "As long as we cut out a few good pieces, those customers will definitely come back, and then our business will come back."

"But..." Young Master Jin's eyes suddenly turned cold. "Su Hanze can't be idle either. He has been making too many moves recently. We have to teach him a lesson and let him know who is the boss of Hong Kong Island."

Zhang Hai nodded: "I understand, Master, I will take care of this."

A few days later, the Dongwan gambling stone field ushered in a sensational "miracle". A gambler dressed in fancy clothes stood in the middle of the hall, his face flushed with excitement. The jadeite rough stone in front of him had just been cut open, revealing an amazing green light.

"Imperial green! Imperial green!" He waved the cloth in his hand, and his voice almost drowned out the entire hall.

The gamblers around were immediately excited, and they gathered around, vying to see the true appearance of this top-quality jadeite. The atmosphere in the hall was immediately ignited, and those who were originally on the sidelines also began to get excited.

"What good luck! I was able to cut out something so good with just one cut!"

"The Dongwan gambling stone field is indeed worthy of its reputation. The stones here can really make you rich!"

All of a sudden, gamblers flocked in and the whole hall returned to its former bustle.

Young Master Jin stood on the second floor, looking down at all this, with a smug look on his face: "See? These idiots, as long as there is a good thing, they can be fooled."

Zhang Hai stood beside him, smiling flatteringly: "Master, you are very smart. This trick is absolutely amazing! When this wave of enthusiasm is over, our wallets will be full again."

"It's only temporary." Young Master Jin's eyes turned cold. "Su Hanze is still keeping an eye on us. If he doesn't fall, we will be disgusted by him sooner or later. Keep an eye on his mines and find an opportunity to cut off his supply."

At the same time, the Baishuishan Mine also received news about the Dongwan gambling stone field.

"Boss, I heard that Master Jin has cut out the Imperial Green, and many customers have been attracted back." Ah Liu said with a worried look on his face, "Should we think of a way to stop him from being so arrogant?"

"Imperial green?" Su Hanze sneered. "Whether the stone is imperial green or not, people in the market know it well. Young Master Jin is gambling on his luck, but he forgot that the market is much more complicated than he thought."

"Boss, what you mean is..." Ah Liu seemed a little confused.

"We don't need to rush to fight back." Su Hanze said calmly, "Young Master Jin played too big this time. He thought he could turn the tables with a few fakes, but he forgot that in the business of gambling on gemstones, the most fearful thing is to have your cards exposed."

"But what if no one exposes him?" Ah Liu was still a little worried.

"No one has exposed it? Then we will help the people in the market to see it clearly." Su Hanze raised a meaningful smile, "Contact a few experts and find out the origin of the 'Imperial Green' in his market. The more detailed the better."

A few days later, an explosive piece of news suddenly spread in the market: the "Imperial Green" recently cut out from the Dongwan Gambling Stone Field was actually a defective product purchased from the low-price market, which was disguised as high-quality jade after dyeing and processing!
The news quickly spread throughout the jade circle of Hong Kong Island. Many customers began to doubt the goods from the East Bay Jade Gambling Ground, and some even came directly to request a refund.

When Young Master Jin heard the news in his office, his face instantly turned pale. He slammed his fist on the table and yelled, "Who is messing with me?!"

Zhang Hai said in panic, "Master, some people suspect that Su Hanze's people are spreading the news behind the scenes. He must have been targeting us a long time ago!"
