It's already 2026, how can we still talk about having many children and having many blessings?

The Qin family's people first arranged for all the guests to leave.

Some buyers shook their heads, some sighed, and some were still whispering among themselves.

Li Jiaying catches up with Chen Mo and Gu Qingyao.

"Miss Gu, Mr. Chen, remember to invite me to dinner tomorrow!"

"Okay, Ms. Li."

After the venue was cleared, Gu Chengyuan stood not far from the door.

"Xiao Mo, thank you so much this time. I've finally gotten my revenge."

"This old guy personally apologized, admitted his mistake, and offered compensation, but he still couldn't sell the raw materials. Hehe, I'm really looking forward to seeing how they cut open the raw materials."

Chen Mo smiled.

"Don't get your hopes up, hehe. The reason Qin Tianping sent over a hundred million paintings and apologized so humbly, putting on such a dignified and respected act, is because he was convinced that there wasn't much of a problem with those raw materials."

"They'll go berserk once they're all untied. Let's go."

"Hey Mo, tonight it's my treat, let's go to my bar and have some fun!"

These young men dared not have any disrespectful thoughts towards Chen Mo now.

Hey, even those old guys like Qin Tianping can only treat them with utmost respect.

Who do they think they are?

Ye Nan whispered mysteriously in Chen Mo's ear, "Brother Mo, we can learn a foreign language tonight. It's a newly arrived Ukrainian girl."

Suddenly, Gu Qingyao twisted Ye Nan's ear.

"What did you say to Chen Mo?"

He said we could learn a foreign language tonight.

Ye Nan and the other two were speechless.

"Why learn a foreign language at a bar? I'm fluent in three languages, just learn from me." Gu Qingyao asked, puzzled.

"Really? Then teach me properly next time. But I'd like to go out and have some fun with Ye Nan and the others, so we can get to know each other better."

He could already picture Gu Qingyao shouting "Yamete!" in his mind.

However, he already knew about the forces behind these four people.

They are involved in industries such as hotels, bars, KTVs, and massage parlors.

They must be very well-informed; it just so happens they're inquiring about Zhao Yifei.

"Okay, go ahead. I have something to do, so I won't go."

……

Not long after, inside the trade fair venue.

Qin Tianping personally studied those raw materials.

After a long pause, he smiled slightly, "Except for two pieces that you misread, the rest are all very good and worth investing in."

"It seems that Chen Mo is indeed quite capable."

Zhou Limin and Meng Hongliang breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Since even Qin Tianping said so, they don't need to take responsibility.

"Ha, let's start cutting the stone. I can't wait. This is the key to whether our Qin family can turn a profit and make up for the losses."

The others also looked solemn and full of anticipation.

Qin Tianping selected a piece of material with a winning bid of 30 million, and he personally marked the lines on it.

The craftsman loads the stone-cutting machine, adjusts the parameters, and puts on the dust cover.

A short while later, the first cut stopped, and the opening was made.

Everyone eagerly awaited it.

The chefs unloaded the cut ingredients and separated them. The next moment, everyone's expression changed drastically.

"How could this be? It's impossible."

A small patch of green did appear on the cut surface, but the quality was poor, with many cracks, and nothing could be extracted.

It's completely different from what you see in the original cross-section.

"This...this one cut has directly reduced the value of this rough stone to one million."

Meng Hongliang's voice trembled.

Zhou Limin was already in poor health, and now his face was even paler.

Qin Zheng's expression was extremely ugly.

Thirty million, turned into one million in one cut.

A hint of disappointment flashed in Qin Tianping's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Alright, you guys have been in this industry for so long, and you don't even have this much mental fortitude? Keep cutting."

Soon, the entire piece of raw jade was cut open.

But there was no reversal; the jade pieces that were taken out were all small.

They can only make small jade items, which are probably worth a few hundred thousand.

Qin Tianping waved his hand.

"Cut that piece of jade worth fifty million."

After the stone-cutting master made the first cut, everyone gasped in surprise again.

Because this piece of material was even more flawed than the first one.

"Only...only two million left...Oh my god...that list...there's something wrong with it."

"We've fallen for their trap; this is a snare Chen Mo set for us..."

Qin Tianping and his son Qin Zheng also panicked.

But Qin Tianping kept himself as calm as possible and maintained his composure.

"What's the rush? It's only the second piece, keep going."

The third piece, the fourth piece, the fifth piece...

Every piece cut open is a disaster.

Zhou Limin's legs went weak, he couldn't stand steadily, and he sat down on the ground with a thud, his whole body trembling.

His body jolted, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and fainted.

When Meng Hongliang saw that Zhou Limin had fainted, he immediately collapsed to the ground, but he couldn't vomit blood, so he simply pretended to faint.

Damn it, I just cut it, and I've already lost 4 million.

Including the top bid at the public auction and two rough stones, the known losses are now 20 billion.

The rest will most likely also collapse.

Qin Zheng's eyes widened in fury, a surge of anger rising to his head. He slammed his hand on a rock, wincing in pain.

"Damn it, it really was a trap..."

"No wonder...no wonder Gu Chengyuan dared to set up such a bet with such confidence. If I bet with him..."

Qin Tianping looked incredulous, closed his eyes, his body trembled slightly, and muttered to himself.

"How could someone's jade gambling skills be so amazing? To be able to set up such a precise trap? Just who is his master?"

"No, I don't believe it. I've been in this business for many years and I'm considered a top master. It's impossible for me to lose everything. Solve it, keep solving it for me."

Qin Tianping was on the verge of collapse.

He began to doubt the skills he had dedicated his life to and was so proud of, yet he dared not believe it.

The stone-cutting masters continued their work.

One piece after another... it all collapsed.

Without exception, not even the original material was available.

Qin Tianping swayed and almost fell.

Qin Zheng immediately helped him up.

After a short while, Qin Tianping took a deep breath and recovered.

"How is this possible? What kind of technology is this?"

Qin Zheng trembled all over.

"Dad, what do we do now? The losses are too great... Qin's working capital is all gone... Damn it, that little brat is too ruthless."

Qin Tianping opened his eyes and sighed.

"Is he ruthless, or are we ruthless? Hmph, since we did it, and we're not as skilled as them, we should bear the consequences."

"Sigh, tomorrow, let's auction off all the treasures in my collection, and also take care of some of my assets while we're at it."

"We will compensate Gu Chengyuan in full, and by the way, we will also prepare a gift for Chen Mo."

Qin Zheng was even more furious. "Dad, Gu Chengyuan and that little brat have caused us so much loss, and they still want compensation? They still want to give us gifts? I'll fight them to the death!"

"Idiot! Chen Mo is so capable; Shengheng even made a fortune at this auction. What makes you think you can fight them to the death?"

Qin Tianping angrily rebuked.

"Besides, Chen Mo has powerful backers we can't afford to mess with."

"Remember, the Qin family can no longer afford any wrong decisions. Even if it means a fight to the death, we must find the best opportunity."

"Alright, you can handle the rest. I'm tired."

Qin Tianping walked out shakily, looking even older and more frail.

Qin Zheng plopped down on a rock, gritting his teeth, his face full of resentment.

"Chen Mo, Gu Chengyuan, very well, don't give me a chance..."

……

At this moment, Chen Mo had just arrived at Ye Nan's Yaojiangnan Bar.

He just went back to Mingxiu Residential Area and stopped by Hanlin Villa.

Ye Nan was very hospitable and arranged the best seats for us.

Before the show started, Chen Mo got straight to the point and asked about Zhao Yifei.

Upon hearing this name, Ye Nan's expression changed. "Brother Mo, you didn't offend that pervert, did you?"
