The jade trade is a very important revenue source for Myanmar, accounting for more than half of its GDP.
Shang Cha wanted to achieve the purpose of completing the transaction in disguise by holding some kind of stone gambling convention. This would undoubtedly cut off the government's financial path.
Usually, due to regulatory issues, everyone just changes their ways and sells secretly.
Putting things out in the open, this appearance is a bit ugly.
So Somchai said that Sangcha was playing with fire and would burn himself.
Therefore, Tang, Song and Yuan felt that this place was not very safe and they should leave before any conflict that might break out.
Anyway, the task this time was overfulfilled, and the raw jadeite that needed to be purchased was also purchased.
He also won a prize of more than 20 million euros in the Stone Betting Competition. If he doesn’t leave now, he will wait until later.
"Then go back!"
Ni Dehong also said without any nostalgia.
After the group returned to Somchai's camp, they quickly loaded the truck with more than a thousand pieces of materials bought by Tang Songyuan.
With the help of Somchai's soldiers, nearly five tons of materials were loaded into a military vehicle in just ten minutes.
Then Luo Gang led the team and escorted Ni Dehong and Tang, Song and Yuan masters and apprentices all the way towards Mandalay.
At about nine o'clock in the evening, the convoy arrived at the outskirts of Mandalay.
Luo Gang asked the escorting soldiers to wait in the suburbs, while he followed Ni Dehong and Tang Songyuan to find a hotel in Mandalay to stay.
In the middle of the night, Tang Songyuan was sleeping soundly on the hotel bed, but was awakened by a knock on the door.
He opened his eyes impatiently, and opened his clairvoyance irritably to see who was outside the door.
Disturbing one's dreams in the middle of the night is really unqualified and immoral!
Standing outside the door was Li Qingying.
And she was alone.
Tang Songyuan paid attention to the movement within a radius of about 100 meters, but found nothing unusual.
I want to see what kind of medicine you are selling in this gourd!
Wearing the nightgown provided by the hotel, he pretended not to know and opened the door. The moment he saw Li Qingying, he was stunned and surprised for a few seconds.
"Miss Jenna, why are you here?"
Then his eyes became sharp: "Are you following me?"
Li Qingying was wearing a small floral dress, looking simple and fresh. She was holding a small bag in her hand, which only contained a mobile phone and some cash and cards.
Her eyes were meaningful, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and she said:
"You didn't hide your whereabouts. I just asked someone to check and found it. You don't want me to come in and sit down?"
"Or, our new Stone King is afraid of a little girl like me..."
"Am I afraid of you?" Tang Songyuan sneered, wondering what Li Qingying's intention was when he came to visit in the middle of the night.
But he still opened the door and let Li Qingying walk in.
After watching him close the door, Li Qingying walked into the bedroom casually, found a chair and sat down.
Her sitting posture was relaxed and comfortable, as if she was the owner of the room.
He stared straight at Tang Songyuan, his big clear eyes blinking gently, with a trace of evil and strangeness inside them.
She opened her teeth and asked in a faint tone:
"Mr. Tang, when did you... awaken?"
Tang, Song and Yuan were greatly frightened.
His scalp felt tight, and something seemed to explode under his cerebral cortex.
At this moment, his adrenaline surged, his muscles tensed and he immediately took a defensive posture, and the Tao Te Ching he had been reciting silently since he found Li Qingying standing outside the door also stopped.
"What did you say? What awakening... I can't understand a word of it!"
Li Qingying chuckled and said calmly: "During the stone gambling competition during the day, I opened up my perception. Everyone present was invisible under my perception."
"Only you, I can't sense..."
"No, it's not that I can't sense it. To be more precise, I refuse to be sensed!"
"This situation has never happened before, so it's very simple. You should also be the same awakened person, and even more powerful than me..."
It turns out that it’s not mind reading, but perception.
No wonder she can not only coax people around her into dancing, but her stone gambling skills are far superior to her master Ji Qing's.
In other words, just like Tang, Song and Yuan, Ji Qing is just a shield.
Tang Songyuan was running through various thoughts in his heart, and said with a cold snort: "You all know that I am better than you, so how dare you come to me in the middle of the night?"
"Aren't you afraid that I will take the opportunity to kill you?"
"You will not!"
Li Qingying was calm and composed, and said with clear eyes: "First of all, I came alone tonight, showing enough sincerity."
"Secondly, you investigated me, and I also asked someone to help investigate you."
"You suddenly emerged three months ago. First you found a piece of dog-head gold ore, and then sold it."
"Then I also bought lottery tickets, played stone betting, etc..."
Tang Songyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, "Are you threatening me?"
"No!"
Li Qingying denied it flatly: "I'm here to cooperate with you!"
"Why should I cooperate with you!"
Tang Songyuan restrained his expression and asked slightly disdainfully.
Li Qingying raised her eyebrows, stood up, and took a few steps towards Tang Songyuan, but stopped again about a meter away.
She said:
"We are the same kind of people. Although I don't know what extraordinary abilities you have, but as far as I know, you are the only one among ten thousand."
Tang Songyuan asked again: "How do you know that no one else in the world has extraordinary abilities?"
Li Qingying was still looking into Tang Songyuan's eyes. She was one meter away and her body was defenseless. Tang Songyuan could subdue her with just one move.
She said: "It is precisely because I don't know that I am very eager to cooperate with you."
"Who knows whether those extraordinary beings who may appear are enemies or friends, but at least I can be sure that you are friendly."
"Although you pursue wealth, you have never used any means to achieve your goals. This shows that you are a person with a bottom line and a partner that I can try my best to win."
"How do you want to cooperate?"
Tang Songyuan asked calmly, calmly and retaining his attitude.
Li Qingying chuckled, then turned around and sat down on the chair again.
"Of course I want to exchange information with Mr. Tang and exchange as much news as possible about extraordinary abilities and the extraordinary world."
Tang Songyuan was skeptical about half of what he said to her.
There's just no other evidence to support it.
After thinking calmly, he decided to agree.
"Cooperation is possible, but currently it can only be limited and must be kept confidential."
Li Qingying readily agreed and said, "That's natural. I know that I can't gain your trust now,"
"But please believe that I am definitely a rare partner on your extraordinary path..."
