Chapter 385 - Chapter 385: Chapter 385 Half of the Property (2/2)
The jade stones there had actually been appraised by various experts and could basically all produce jadeite, only with varying qualities.
Chen Yu didn’t care much and just sat there leisurely drinking tea, waiting until Li Xuezhong had made his choice before casually pointing at a stone.
Such a hasty approach surprised many of those present.
This was jade gambling, after all, where fortunes could be lost in an instant; how could he be so reckless?
Everyone immediately crowded around, all eager to see what these two stones would reveal.
Li Xuezhong was tense to the extreme; this related to all his assets.
Chen Yu, on the other hand, maintained an indifferent attitude, as if it was nothing important to him.
It wasn’t long before two masters brought the stones selected by each party to the center of the room.
Li Xuezhong had certainly put in the effort this time, and the stone he opened had a faint purple tinge, somewhat reminiscent of violet, and the color quality was very good.
However, by comparison, Chen Yu’s stone was crystal clear, emitting a green light from within—it was a top-quality icy jadeite.
The scene immediately erupted into excitement, and all eyes were intensely focused on Li Xuezhong.
He had just bet all his family fortune, and everyone was waiting to see if he would willingly hand over his assets.
Li Xuezhong swallowed hard, panting heavily.
Before the watchful eyes of the crowd, he rushed over to Chen Yu and fell to his knees with a thud.
“Mr. Chen, it was all my fault before, I shouldn’t have been so against you. I hope you can be magnanimous and not hold it against me,”
This move baffled everyone present.
With Hu Sanjiang’s betrayal already rendering them leaderless, now their strongest, Li Xuezhong, was kneeling before Chen Yu—where did that leave the rest of them?
Chen Yu, however, seemed gracious and immediately helped Li Xuezhong to his feet.
“I can let you off, but you already made your statement earlier; if you don’t hand over all your family fortune, it would seem inappropriate,”
Fear reached its zenith in Li Xuezhong’s eyes; this was essentially a death sentence, wasn’t it?
“Mr. Chen, isn’t there some room for negotiation?”
Chen Yu pretended to be in a difficult position, “Of course, there is. You just need to hand over half of your family fortune, and you can keep the rest for your retirement,”
Li Xuezhong let out a sigh. His situation was not good; if today’s events spread, his reputation would be destroyed. Now, he thought, the more of his fortune he could keep, the better.
He promptly wrote a certification by the side and handed it to Chen Yu.
Chen Yu accepted it and then turned to look at the other people.
“All of you are the leaders in the business and industrial sectors of Suzhou City. I truly don’t know where I have offended everyone to warrant such hostility towards me,”
“Let’s take this opportunity today to settle our grievances with the original stones,”
This remark scared everyone present; they had seen firsthand how skilled Chen Yu was at selecting raw stones.
Under these circumstances, to still gamble against Chen Yu was simply courting death.
One middle-aged man swallowed hard and scurried out.
“Mr. Chen, I was ignorant before. I apologize to you here and now,”
