"I'm sorry, Young Master An, I made your visit unpleasant. It's my fault. For the next gambling on the stones, I'm willing to pay three million to make you happy." Qian Haoming was very polite. He apologized first, then offered to cover part of the expenses. Three million was already a lot; it was just a courtesy.

Zhao An waved his hand. "I don't need the money. Haha, let's go. Don't bother with this guy."

Having made up his mind, Zhao An naturally wouldn't let go of someone who opposed him. He should be cannon fodder, but what's the point of jumping out and showing off? It's just like he's too old to live, right?

Getting into the car, Zhao An smoked cigarettes the whole way, not even making a phone call.

An invisible robot flew in the air. It was the Iron Man suit Zhao An had developed. Fans who have seen the "Iron Man" movies directed by Zhao An would surely exclaim in amazement! This was a real Iron Man suit, not a fictional one!

The Iron Man suit hovered in the air, its target locked on Tan Chong, who was leaving the antique market. It was clear Zhao An was targeting someone who had others pay him, then proceeded to steal the goods.

This kind of behavior was immoral, but when it came to a sworn enemy, it was much more interesting. Moreover, he had just clashed with Tan Chong, and now something bad had happened to him. He would undoubtedly be the first suspect.

Even if Zhao An wasn't suspected, Qian Haoming would be a strong suspect.

This, however, was the shrewdness of Zhao An's gambling on the stone market. The gambling on the stone market was filled with people who could all testify. He simply had to show up at the market and constantly select and cut the stones.

With this alibi, Tan Chong's case had nothing to do with him.

Every move was carefully planned. The group arrived at the gambling on the stone market, and surprisingly, someone from the Fang family also showed up.

This time, it wasn't Fang Shuiling, but Fang Shunli, the heir of the Fang family. This was certainly Qian family territory, but it was also more of a Fang family connection.

The Fang family's headquarters was in Hengdu, but this was the family's birthplace, and the relationships here were intricate. Each generation of heirs needed to return to their roots to develop, learn the inherited skills, and sort out their interpersonal relationships before taking on the mantle.

"That's Fang Shunli, the Fang family's heir, a man more cunning than a demon," Qian Haoming whispered to Zhao An. Compared to him, the Qian family's eldest son held less weight.

What was completely unexpected was that Fang Shunli would actually come over to greet him, seemingly unaware of the business competition between them. "Zhao An, I've heard so much about you, so much about you."

Zhao An, with a forced smile, extended his hand and shook it. "It's just so-so. Young Master Fang is in the mood to come here and play a few rounds. What a coincidence."

"Life needs a little excitement, doesn't it? I heard you've returned to the Bai family. What should we call you now?" Fang Shunli said with a forced smile. As the heir to one of the four great families, he simply looked down on people like Zhao An. Though there was a hint of warmth in his words, one could actually see the amusement on his face.

"If you need excitement, go racing. Accidentally getting killed in a car accident—that's what excitement is. Excuse me, let's go." Zhao An, with a hint of disdain, took the beer beside him and washed his hands, as if shaking hands with such a person were a dirty act.

"You!" A lackey was standing up for his master. Such an insulting gesture was a sign of disdain. How many people would have loved to have a handshake from the eldest son of the Fang family? And how dare you despise it?

Fang Shunli stopped his subordinate and shook his head. "Don't be impulsive. He did it on purpose. Haha, Zhao An, you're quite capable."

The strategy against Zhao An was his own. He couldn't let Zhao An get ahead too easily, especially after knowing he was a member of the Bai family. Even if he was from a side branch, with such talent, he could already be among the core disciples.

Besides, the Fang family and the Huang family were married. Together, they had nothing to fear from each other. Even the Bai family couldn't stand it. One couldn't beat two. One plus one could sometimes be greater than two!

Ignoring the sudden appearance of the Fang family, Zhao An walked straight to the pile of stones. The stones here were measured by weight. The rough stones looked no different, no different from any other stones on the roadside.

Three million yuan might seem like a lot, but in reality, each pound of these stones was worth two hundred thousand, so it wasn't really that much.

Gambling on stones is a matter of heartbeat, and there are also many jades among the stones.

The price of buying finished jade is very high, so large wholesalers generally opt for gambling on jade.

While gambling on jade is certainly lucrative, it can also lead to total loss. It's a matter of one's perspective, whether it's heaven or hell.

For Zhao An, with his clairvoyant powers, he could vaguely see whether there was jade, but he couldn't confirm its quality. He could be certain of its presence, but not its quality.

"Young Master An, I heard this batch of jade isn't very good," Qian Haoming whispered. Half the stones here have been selected by so-called experts, so the chances of finding a good one are slim.

The jade market has always enjoyed a large sales volume. It can be worn at weddings and after childbirth. It's also a top choice for gold and silver jewelry. Jewelry makers are guaranteed to be profitable.

"So-called experts? Do you believe them?" Zhao An sneered, seeming somewhat disdainful.

"I don't believe it," Qian Haoming shook his head. He certainly wouldn't believe it if he didn't gamble on jade.

"Haha, what a coincidence! I didn't believe it either." Zhao An picked up the stone and patted it. "Do you know what a genius is?"

"I don't know. Please teach me, Young Master An." Qian Haoming asked humbly.

"Take the paths of others and broaden your horizons, so you don't take detours or end up in a dead end. Many people say that crossing industries is bad, but it's definitely not. That's because these people are ignorant and superficial." Zhao An suddenly picked up a stone and handed it over. "Put it away. I'll settle the account later."

Qian Haoming handed the stone to his cousin, feeling a tinge of anticipation. "Young Master An, there's a special stone-cutting machine over there. Do you need to come over later? We'll draw the prizes live?"

Zhao An glanced at the machine in the distance and nodded. "Sure! I want to see what raw jade looks like, too."
