Chapter 1495 Stone cutting (1/2)
It had nothing to do with Li Du, so he stood aside quietly and passively.
Lu Dayou no longer had the heroic attitude he had displayed just now. He turned his head to the young man and smiled. ”Xiao Liao, Brother Xiao Liao, be steady. Can you take the needle back a little? This is no joke.”
Xiao Liao stared at him furiously. ”Is it a joke that you stole my money? Damn you, that was my marriage money, meant to pay for the betrothal gift and the house.”
Although his words were harsh, the young man, after all, was not as cruel as Master Dao. He carefully retreated his hands a little and took the needle away from Lu Dayou's neck.
Lu Dayou smiled gratefully and said to Master Dao, ”No need to look so carefully, Master Dao. These stones are from the finest of Damakan, and their quality…”
Master Dao ignored him. He looked at the pieces carefully one by one, and then he raised his head and said to Xiao Liao, ”These stones are now ours. This will go towards repaying some of your debt.”
Hearing this, Lu Dayou struggled and cried, ”No, damn it, Master Dao, you are not being fair! These stones are worth millions, and I only took half a million. You can't take them all!”
Master Dao sneered. ”Millions? Go to hell with your millions. These are only worth six or seven hundred thousand dollars. Do you take me for a fool?”
”Alright, six or seven hundred thousand. But there are also the ten thousand you have in your hand. Therefore, I owe you four hundred thousand. Why the hell do you...Damn!”
Saying this, he elbowed Xiao Liao in the ribs. Xiao Liao was unable to react and let go of his hand. Lu Dayou pushed him aside and tried to grab the stones.
However, Master Dao was guarding him all the time. He looked thin, but with his speed and explosive power, he was like a hungry wolf.
Master Dao quickly snatched away the six stones and stretched his hands to grab Lu Dayou.
Lu Dayou knew his adversary. He was scared and his facial expression changed. Leaving the stones, he ran, and while running he shouted, ”Damn you, Master Dao. F**k! You wait, I'll make you give back what you took from me!”
He ran very fast, and after he went out, he got on a motorcycle and sped off.
Xiao Liao took off and ran after him. After reaching the teahouse door, he came back helplessly and said, ”Damn, the old fox runs really fast.”
Master Dao sneered and said, ”The fox can run, but his nest stays. Since the stones are here, let him run. We will keep this.”
Xiao Liao was worried and asked, ”Will he go to the police?”
Master Dao sneered. ”He would not dare to do so. If this old fraud reports to the police, they will take him first. Besides, there are military police units outside. They can shoot him and end the whole business.”
As he spoke, he poured tea for himself and Xiao Liao.
He took a sip of tea and smiled. ”This tea is not bad. The authentic Xihu Longjing. This bastard Lu Dayou could pay a high price to set up a fraud.”
Xiao Liao had no mood to drink tea. He looked at Li Du, then at Master Dao, and said in despair, ”Master Dao, we only recovered around 100,000, while we lost more than a million.”
Master Dao tapped the stones on the table and said, ”Who told you that? If these stones are of good quality, we could easily sell them for a million, maybe even more.”
Xiao Liao shook his head and said, ”I don't trust those stone anymore. Master Dao, you know this. I swore I would not put my trust in jade any longer.”
”You are too despondent.” Master Dao rolled his eyes and turned around to look at Li Du. ”Little brother, did you come here to buy jade too?”
Li Du smiled and said, ”I'm just looking around.”
Xiao Liao said with a gloomy face, ”I only came here to take a look in the beginning too. Damn, I was duped. You are lucky that you met Master Dao. They wanted to scam you.”
Li Du stretched his hand to Master Dao and said, ”Thanks, Master Dao. Let me buy you a cup of tea.”
