Eastern City, Shulin Street.

As the largest antique market in the city, at the end of the year, there was no shortage of customers who came here to buy goods and try to make a fortune overnight.

To be honest, Liu Dong never thought that he would become one of this group of people one day. But at the moment, he really had no better way. He was short of money, extremely short of money!

"Brother Sun, is this the good place to earn money?" Thinking of this, Liu Dong hurried to catch up with the middle-aged man in a gray suit in front of him. With a flattering smile on his face, he rubbed his hands and said, "Brother Sun, do you have any good channels?"

"Bah!"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man rolled his eyes at Liu Dong, and then spat on the ground without any image. After clearing his throat, he said with a little disdain, "You don't feel tired even though you've been walking all the way. I'm telling you, this time, I'm here to help you broaden your horizons. As long as you succeed, the money you want is not a problem!"

"Let's go!"

After that, Sun Qiang waved his hand, patted Liu Dong on the shoulder, and continued to go deeper into the antique market.

Behind him, Liu Dong could only let out a long sigh. Although he was unwilling, he could only follow quickly.

300,000!

Now, he was in urgent need of 300,000 cash!

And this guy named Sun Qiang, they had just known each other last night. He kept saying that he could take him to get the money.

At first, Liu Dong was afraid that something was illegal and did not dare to agree. But at last, he thought that his sister was still lying in bed, waiting for the money to save her. Even if it was really dangerous, as long as she could earn 300,000 yuan, he would accept it!

"We're here..."

At this moment, Sun Qiang, who was walking in front of them, finally stopped. He turned his head and shouted at Liu Dong, interrupting Liu Dong's thoughts at the right time.

On the fourth day, several large-scale vehicles were roaring, and the noise was hard for Liu Dong to accept for a while.

As far as the eye could see, the whole street was filled with more than 100 'businesss', and in front of these people, countless pieces of broken stones of different sizes were placed on the ground.

In front of every stall, there were many people squatting or sitting. They were grabbing the broken stones in their hands, with a bright flashlight in their mouths, and vaguely bargaining.

"This is..."

"Stone gambling?"

Although he had never seen it before, in all kinds of novels and videos, Liu Dong knew something about gambling on stones.

It was nothing more than moving some ores that people in the business could not be sure of and selling them at a moderate price. Among them, some people made a lot of money, and naturally some people lost all their property!

"That's right!"

Seeing that Liu Dong knew these things, the smile on Sun Qiang's face deepened. He patted Liu Dong's shoulder with his big hand and said with a smile, "Well, I didn't lie to you, did I? As long as you can make it into one piece, I guarantee that you will be able to eat it for the rest of your life!"

"But... but I..."

Hearing this, Liu Dong couldn't help but feel a little tempted, but he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

To put it bluntly, this bet on stones was almost as small as the usual lottery prize. They all depended on luck and gambling.

As the saying went, one would lose nine out of ten. This was not a joke!

The industry of gambling on stones was too profound. A normal person who had just fallen into a trap could be counted as a good person, not to mention making money. What's more, he was currently penniless. His sister's operation fee in the hospital was still in debt. How could he have money to gamble?

"Brother Sun, I, I don't have money, and I don't know how to look at stones. Otherwise, I think it's better to forget it..."

"I... I'll find another way to make money."

Thinking of this, Liu Dong immediately retreated. He smiled and thanked Sun Qiang. Then he got up and was ready to leave.

"Hey!"

However, seeing that he was about to leave, Sun Qiang pulled Liu Dong back. At the same time, the smile on his face did not diminish. He deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Brother, what are you talking about? Since you said yesterday that I will take you to make money, I will definitely not break my promise. Otherwise, if it is spread out, I will lose face!"

In the end, as if to express his sincerity, Sun Qiang's eyes widened, and he whispered in Liu Dong's ear, "How about this, I'll pay, and I'll help you choose stones. As long as you cut out something, we'll have thirty to seventy percent of the debt. What do you say?"

Thirty-seven percent of the bill?!

Upon hearing this, Liu Dong immediately sucked in a breath of cold air.

Although he had never participated in the stone gambling before, he knew that the seemingly broken stone actually contained valuable jade!

Each piece was definitely not cheap. It could easily cost hundreds of thousands of yuan, or even some fine materials. The price could reach tens of millions of yuan!

If she was really lucky enough to cut those, her sister's medical expenses would be reduced, let alone thirty-seven percent of the money!

"You really paid for it? Then why don't you go by yourself?" Liu Dong frowned and looked at Sun Qiang in disbelief. He didn't understand why Sun Qiang would hit him on the head.

"Haha, I knew you wouldn't believe me!"

Sun Qiang seemed to have guessed that Liu Dong would say that. He took out a police badge from his pocket and waved it in front of him. At the same time, he said, "Look, brother, it's not easy for me to show my identity. If someone with ulterior motives sees it, I'm afraid that in the future, I will..."

"Do you understand?"

At the end of his words, Sun Qiang even gave Liu Dong a knowing look.

"I got it! I got it! Thank you, Brother Sun!"

This time, Liu Dong completely believed him. No matter what, although the stone gambling was not a illegal project, it was not the right thing to do. As a policeman, it was really difficult for Sun Qiang to show up.

Thinking of this, Liu Dong immediately looked around and asked in a low voice, "Brother Sun, which one should we cut?"

"Just this one!"

Sun Qiang seemed to have been prepared for this. His eyes were shining with green light. He pointed to a fist-sized jade stone on the stall in front of him, licked the corner of his mouth and said, "I've already seen it for you. This stone was imported from Burma. There are no less than ten million jadeites in the mine year-round. There must be!"

"Deal!"

At this point, Liu Dong simply let go of the stone. After he asked the stall owner for the raw stone, he rolled up his sleeves and squatted on the ground, nervously staring at the stone being divided into two parts bit by bit by bit.

"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"

As the gear rotated more and more slowly, the fist-sized raw stone was finally split from the middle. To Liu Dong's disappointment, there was no green in the middle, only ash-black lime!

"Alas, Brother Sun, our bet is ruined."

Sighing, Liu Dong instinctively touched his back, but soon he noticed that something was wrong.

The person who had been standing closely behind him had turned into an empty space. Sun Qiang, who had been waiting here, had long disappeared!

"Brother Sun!"

"Brother Sun!"

"Sun Qiang!!"

He looked around in shock. Sun Qiang, who had claimed that he would pay for it, couldn't even see a shadow of a person now!

"Brother, 30,000. Let's pay the bill."

At the same time, the stall owner seemed to have realized something. He quickly got up and grabbed Liu Dong's wrist. "Cut my stone. Do you want to leave like this?"

"I, I..." For a moment, Liu Dong was dumbfounded.

Thirty thousand!

Where could he get 30,000 yuan?

"I, I don't have any money..." Liu Dong swallowed his saliva dryly. He knew very well that he had been tricked, so he could only bite the bullet and say.

"What?! No money!"

The stall owner, who was very friendly the previous second, screamed like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. At the same time, he suddenly waved his hand. The next second, two strong men ran over from the distance and pushed Liu Dong to the ground.

"Damn it! You dare to gamble on stones like other people without money. You are f*cking looking for death! Beat me!"

"Beat him until he takes out the money!"

As the stall owner gave the order, the two strong men smashed Liu Dong's head with their fists like iron hammers!

It hurts!

It hurt so much!

But even so, Liu Dong, who was lying on the ground, knew that he was in the wrong and did not dare to make a sound.

The corner of his forehead had long been broken. Hot blood dripped down the wound, sliding across his face and neck, and finally flowing into the plain wood on Liu Dong's chest.

Under the severe pain, Liu Dong could only hear the stall owner's continuous curses. He did not notice that a warm current was spreading along his limbs and into his left eye in an instant!

Pu!

With a slight sound, Liu Dong's left eye seemed to have been poked out and kept bleeding along the corner of his eye!
