Everyone was still immersed in the brutality of Lu Li, not daring to speak.

Lu Li, however, didn't care about everyone, and walked straight to the counter.

At this moment, Brother Gu was in a daze. Suddenly seeing Lu Li walking over, he couldn't help but shiver all over and instinctively blurted out, "This...this gentleman, I...I'm sworn brothers with Miss Chen's husband, you...you can't hit me like you hit them."

Old Lu: "…"

Chen Man Ni: "…"

Old Jiang and the others: "…"

One must know that Brother Gu is Su City's largest supplier of raw jade.

Because supplies from Myanmar could only be smuggled over privately.

So everyone knew just how ruthless Brother Gu was.

Not being ruthless meant you couldn't survive in this line of work.

But even though Brother Gu was ruthless, seeing Lu Li, he was still so scared.

One can imagine the incredible fear Lu Li's actions had instilled in everyone present.

Lu Li chuckled wryly and said, "You're a raw jade supplier, I'm here for an open bid, why would I hit you?"

Brother Gu weakly said, "The open bid is over now."

"Ah?" Lu Li was a bit disappointed, "Who won the open bid?"

Brother Gu pointed towards three or four jade merchants in front of the counter.

"Don't point!"

"Brother Gu, don't point at us!"

The three jade merchants were scared to death, waving repeatedly to signal Brother Gu not to draw the attention of this human-shaped tyrannosaurus onto themselves.

Lu Li was not unreasonable, stood to the side, and pointed at the counter, saying, "You won the open bid, quickly choose your raw jade, after you've picked, I'll take my time to choose."

"No, no, no, no." A middle-aged man in his fifties thought Lu Li was being sarcastic, shaking his hand repeatedly, "You go first, you go first."

"Right!"

"You go first."

"We're not in a hurry at all."

The other three also expressed the same, not daring to step forward, fearing that Lu Li might suddenly erupt, and they would end up like Brother Pan and the others.

Seeing them being so courteous, Lu Li laughed and said, "Alright, thank you for letting me pick first."

Saying this, he glanced at those dozens of thugs he had just beaten up, who were getting up from the ground.

Lu Li showed a slight apologetic expression, "I thought you were fighting over the open bid, and beat you up so badly, sorry about that."

Though he wasn't particularly sorry about it either.

This group wielding batons obviously weren't good people.

Besides, they made the first move, and he was just returning the favor.

Apologizing was more out of politeness.

The thugs: "...AA@!#!!"

They were cursing in their hearts.

Damn it.

You should have asked about the situation first!

Just came up and beat us so badly?

Alright, these thugs could only complain internally, they dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

Actually, they had no idea that Lu Li had already held back a lot.

Otherwise, beating them to death would be a small matter, they might have been smashed into meat pies.

Brother Gu hurriedly shouted inside, "Bring out the raw jade from the open bid, and by the way, send that bastard lying on the ground to the hospital, remember to warn him not to cause trouble for himself, hmm, as long as he wakes up and knows what to do, give a special reminder not to look for trouble with this gentleman, otherwise I won't let him go!"

From inside, a middle-aged man's voice immediately came, "Alright, boss, I'll bring out the raw jade right away."

Saying this, a few people came out from inside, carrying the raw jade.

Among them, two young men came out from behind the counter and carried Brother Pan to the hospital.

The thugs left dejectedly.

Brother Gu squinted his eyes at Old Lu and Old Jiang, and sneered, "You've got some guts, huh, daring to make trouble on my turf? Alright, from now on, don't think about getting a piece of raw jade in Su City, not just from me, but from others as well, I'm saying this, now get lost!"

Old Jiang and Old Lu then realized the trouble they were in, desperately begging for forgiveness.

Initially, they were blinded by anger and hadn't thought through the consequences, now they deeply regretted it.

Brother Gu wouldn't pay them any mind, directly having them thrown out.

The issue was mostly settled by this point.

However, those jade merchants still stood far away, not daring to come over.

For no other reason, this group was scared to death by Lu Li, who dared to approach?

But Liu Kexin and Chen Man Ni walked over together.

Brother Gu greeted them, "Sister-in-law."

Chen Man Ni nodded slightly, "Brother Gu, he's my friend, remember to give some discount later."

Brother Gu hurriedly said, "Of course, of course, don't worry."

At this point, he revealed a wry smile, "Sister-in-law, your friend wouldn't happen to be a professional fighter in mixed martial arts, right? Too fierce!"

Chen Man Ni glanced at Lu Li who was squatting over there picking raw jade, also showing a wry smile, "I don't know what he does, just make sure not to rip him off."

"I wouldn't dare, how could I dare?" Brother Gu said with a bit of fear, half-jokingly, "If I did and he found out, wouldn't I be beaten half to death? I dare not, truly dare not."

Lu Li activated his X-ray vision, constantly staring at the raw jade materials over there.

Because most of the materials were relatively small, his X-ray vision could see right through them at a glance.

Therefore, the quality of jade inside could basically be seen clearly.

For some reason, after using his X-ray vision to see the jade inside those materials, Lu Li felt a craving in his stomach, as if he wanted to eat the jade.

"How strange, first it wanted me to eat iron this morning, now it wants me to eat jade?"

Lu Li felt a bit puzzled and decided to pick two pieces of lower-quality jade to eat later and see how it worked.

The freshly opened pack of materials mostly contained visible jade, with not much to gamble on.

After all, you could see right through the visible jade.

Apart from unknown transverse cracks, the color, luster, and texture were almost completely exposed.

Even though Lu Li didn't understand jade well, he still knew that this type of material was generally quite expensive.

After scanning the area, his gaze quickly focused on the semi-visible materials, windowed materials, and covered materials.

Because of his X-ray vision, he could easily tell the quality of the jade inside those materials.

Believe it or not, there were indeed some good pieces of jade inside the semi-visible materials.

The windowed materials also contained one or two high-quality pieces.

As for the covered materials, the quality of the jade inside was relatively poor, with some having no green at all.

While he was choosing.

Liu Kexin crouched down, "Lu Li, you're really good at fighting, huh?"

Lu Li didn't even lift his head, "Didn't I tell you last time?"

Chen Man Ni also crouched down, "Last time? What last time?"

Liu Kexin, not one to be chatty, said, "It's nothing."

Chen Man Ni, seeing that Liu Kexin didn't want to talk, didn't press further. Instead, she looked at Lu Li, who was picking materials, with a quirky expression and exclaimed, "Lu Li, what exactly do you do that makes you so good at fighting? Could it be like Brother Gu guessed, you fight freestyle?"

"Haha, no, I used to work at Liu Corporation, but I just resigned and now I'm temporarily unemployed."

Lu Li picked out a windowed material, looked up at Brother Gu, and asked, "How much is this piece?"

Brother Gu glanced at it and said, "This windowed material appears to be a floating flower of lavender, bright green in the icy variety, estimated to make three bangles. Although it's still quite a gamble, it's still fairly expensive. But since you're a friend of my sister-in-law, I'll give you a discount, thirty thousand."

Lu Li nodded, "Alright, I'll take this piece."

Brother Gu inquired, "Do you want to cut the stone on site? Or you can take it home and do it yourself. If you cut out good jade on site, they might buy it."

Saying this, he pointed to the group of jade merchants standing far away.

The reason Lu Li was considering playing with jade in the first place was that he couldn't quickly sell antiques, so he wondered if this could fatten his wallet again.

Now hearing Brother Gu's words, he didn't hesitate, "Alright, then please cut the stone for me."

Brother Gu quickly called someone over to bring the tools and start cutting the stone for Lu Li.

While waiting, Lu Li picked out two larger raw materials.

One piece of semi-visible material weighed 6.5 kg and was quite expensive; Brother Gu still offered a discount, making it three hundred thousand.

As for the other, it was a covered material.

This type of material was priced by weight, not very expensive.

Calculating at three hundred per kilogram, Lu Li spent a total of six thousand.

Among the three previous packs, these three pieces of jade were of relatively high quality.

Therefore, after finishing his selection, Lu Li also picked out a few cheaper, lower-quality covered materials, planning to see if he could eat them after uncovering the jade.

Lu Li couldn't help but think, "Good thing I acted earlier, otherwise I might not have gotten these three high-quality pieces."

Just as he finished picking out his materials and was getting them cut one by one.

Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps came from the stairway.

"Damn it!"

"Who dares to make trouble in Brother Gu's place?"

"Which idiot is tired of living?"

Curses came from the stairway.

Lu Li and everyone else turned to look.

A group of twenty or thirty thugs with sticks rushed up the stairs.

The leader, about thirty years old, had muscles like steel.

He came up aggressively and said, "Who's causing trouble here... Huh, Brother Gu, there's no trouble?"

Brother Gu looked at him speechlessly, "Why are you only coming now?"

The man said helplessly, "There was a traffic jam during the morning rush, I wanted to come quickly but couldn't, Brother Gu, where are the troublemakers?"

Brother Gu pointed at Lu Li, "He just..."

The man, thinking Lu Li was causing trouble, glared fiercely, "So you're the one making troub... Uh..."

Before finishing his words, he saw Lu Li's face, rubbed his eyes quickly, almost jumping in fright, and said to Brother Gu with a trembling voice, "Brother Gu, don't say I didn't help you out of loyalty, this... this Mr. Lu, we can't afford to offend him, I'll... I'll just leave now."

Brother Gu rolled his eyes at him, "Offend who, offend your butt, Mr. Lu just helped me deal with two groups of troublemakers earlier. By the time you arrived, it was all over, still talking about loyalty or not."

Huh?

Listening to the man's tone, it seemed like he knew Lu Li was brutal?

Could it be that this man had heard of some sensational achievements of Lu Li in the past?

Chen Man Ni, along with the other onlookers, became interested, wondering if they should ask the man about what Lu Li had done before that made people so afraid of him.
