Car-hailing Driver: Rewards from Complaints

Chapter 556 - 238: Best Friend’s Romance Scam (Part 4)

If there’s jade inside, the jade and the stone are separate, and the sound of tapping the stone is hollow.

But because the jade in this kind of stone is very small, the difference in the sound from the stone is very subtle, and only people with excellent hearing can discern it.

According to the records in "Bian He’s Jade Collection," only a person like Yang Chen, with extraordinary qualities, can learn this skill. Ordinary people simply can’t manage it.

The second stone that Yang Chen selected needed to be tapped to confirm whether there was green inside.

"Thump, thump, thump..."

Yang Chen gently tapped different spots on the surface of the stone, carefully distinguishing the differences in sound.

After tapping around in a circle, Yang Chen placed the stone into the basket.

Xiaojing quickly asked, "Brother Yang, you’re an expert, huh? You look quite professional."

Yang Chen chuckled and said, "I’m just taking a wild guess. Can I go upstairs now?"

Xiaojing: "Sure! Do you want to cut open these three stones right now?"

Yang Chen: "No, let’s cut them open later together."

Xiaojing: "In that case, you need to settle the bill first!"

Yang Chen: "No problem!"

Xiaojing pushed the cart and led Yang Chen to pay the bill.

The raw stones on the first floor were quite ordinary, and the prices were relatively cheap.

The three stones Yang Chen chose together only cost 350,000.

If any of these three stones produced a little bit of good jade, Yang Chen could earn more than ten times the amount.

At this moment, a commotion was heard at the door.

Yang Chen looked over and saw that it was the female passenger Zhou Wenqi arguing with the security guard.

"I owe you money, so why are you holding my friend? Everyone should bear their own responsibilities; I will repay you, but you must let her go immediately!" Zhou Wenqi shouted loudly.

At this point, Xiaojing beside Yang Chen excused herself to the restroom and quickly left.

Though Zhou Wenqi seemed a bit scatterbrained, she was still quite loyal.

Yang Chen waved to a waiter and said, "The lady outside is my friend, please let her in."

The waiter nodded and hurried outside to bring Zhou Wenqi in.

Zhou Wenqi was shocked to see Yang Chen and asked, "Benefactor, how did you end up playing this too? This is not something to mess with; it’s all a scam. You work hard to earn some money, don’t let them trick you like they did me and drain you dry."

The staff immediately warned Zhou Wenqi not to speak recklessly, saying that Mingcui Square never forced any customers to play with stones, and if she continued to tarnish Mingcui Square’s reputation, they would take the necessary measures to defend it.

Yang Chen quickly said, "She’s my friend; she’s with me."

At this point, a girl in black stockings walked over and told Zhou Wenqi to follow her.

After all, Zhou Wenqi was a woman and dared not go with her.

"If you have something to say, say it here. Are you ashamed of what you’re doing?" Zhou Wenqi said.

The girl in black stockings sneered and said, "If you think you can cause trouble here, then you are mistaken. Aren’t you here to redeem your friend? Come with me, I’ll take you to see her."

Zhou Wenqi looked at Yang Chen, clearly frightened.

"Benefactor, can you... can you come with me? I’m afraid they’ll hit me. Please, I beg you." Zhou Wenqi sincerely said.

Yang Chen couldn’t help but laugh and said, "Alright, I’ll go in with you and take a look."

Just then, another argument erupted at the entrance, and Zhou Wenqi’s husband, Wang Zheng, arrived.

Zhou Wenqi ran out and asked, "Husband, why are you here too? Didn’t I tell you to stay at the hospital with the child?"

Wang Zheng: "Nonsense! How can I let you, a woman, come here by yourself? Although I’m very angry right now, you’re still my wife. How can I let you face it alone?"

Zhou Wenqi, moved to tears, said, "Husband, I’m sorry. From now on, I promise to be obedient and never do such foolish things again."

Wang Zheng: "Alright, alright. Let’s go in and talk to them."

Seeing Yang Chen, Wang Zheng hurried over to greet him.

"Benefactor, you’re here too, huh? This is not something to dabble in; it’s all a scam," Wang Zheng said.

No wonder they are a couple; they talk the same way.

Yang Chen replied with a smile, "I was just idle and came to see the renowned Mingcui Square that caused your wife to lose millions. Let’s go; I’ll go in with you and take a look."

Wang Zheng: "Thank you, benefactor. When the child gets better, we’ll bring him to thank you in person."

Yang Chen: "Haha... Alright, take good care of the child, and I’ll wait for him to thank me in person."

Girl in black stockings: "If the three of you want to chat, do it at home. If you want to resolve the issue, follow me now."

Saying this, she turned and walked away. Yang Chen and the other two quickly followed.

After going through several corridors, the girl in black stockings led them into a large room.

Inside were a dozen people, including Xiaojing.

However, unlike earlier in her sexy black stockings, she was now dressed in a down jacket, with blood on the corner of her mouth, and her hair was messy.

Zhou Wenqi rushed up to hug Xiaojing and cried, "Xiaojing, I’m sorry, I dragged you into this. You bastards, why did you hit her?"

Xiaojing looked at the smiling Yang Chen and was completely stunned.

Obviously, Zhou Wenqi had been caught in a pig-butchering scam.

Xiaojing became her best friend with the sole purpose of someday tricking her into gambling away her family’s millions.

Poor Zhou Wenqi was even worried about her best friend’s safety, not realizing she was being sold and counting money for her betrayer.
