Chapter Seventy-Five: Value Linked Cities

  Wherever his eyes reached, he saw a piece of stone over one meter high, covered with countless cracks. Under the transparent view, it can be seen that these cracks penetrate deep into the interior, and the red and yellow colors inside are in a crushed state, basically worthless.

  But right in the center of this original stone, there is a solid ball the size of a winter melon. Those cracks that extend to the interior surprisingly all surround the outside of the solid ball, forming a strange landscape that makes people marvel at the wonder of creation.

  A winter melon-sized solid ball is composed of two parts, one-third of which is high-ice chicken oil jadeite, a rare treasure in the world. The other two-thirds are icy red jadeite, with good quality and color, equally rare to see.

  In jade, red is called "feicui" and green is called "cui". Among them, the color is mostly green, but if you encounter a good variety with a regular color, it can also be sold at a high price, or even higher.

  He said calmly: "This stone is useless, what a pity."

  The old man hastily said: "Young brother, it's hard to say for sure, there may be good things inside."

  Zhang Jun seemed to be interested and asked: "This stone, how much are you selling it for?"

  "Three million!"

  "Three million? You're not kidding, are you?"

  The middle-aged man said: "If it weren't for the many troubles outside, I wouldn't sell even if you offered me 30 million, let alone 3 million."

  "In that case, you can keep it." Zhang Jun said, and walked around to observe other raw stones.

  In the huge warehouse, there were quite a few good materials. He simply walked around in a circle, pointed out sixty-seven stones one by one, and then said: "I want all of these, name your price."

  The old man and the middle-aged man were both surprised. This was a big business. The old man said, "Young brother, each stone has a price tag, let me calculate it for you."

  In the end, the total price of these sixty or seventy stones, after deducting the change, was forty-one million.

  Zhang Jundao said: "Forty million, plus that big stone, I'll take it."

  The old man frowned and said: "Young brother, that stone is worth 30 million. Adding the discount of 10 million, we are already giving you a total of 40 million. You're cutting the price too much, aren't you?"

  Zhang Jun said lightly: "I'm actually most pleased when buying things, if I can buy it then I'll buy it, if not then I'll leave. You two think carefully about it." After saying that, he was about to walk out of the warehouse.

  A bid of 400 million, their profit is already quite substantial, and naturally they cannot let Zhang Jun go. The old man smiled and said: "Okay, everyone does business for the first time, just make friends."

  They simply agreed on a price and Zhang had people move the stones away. Since some of the original stones were too heavy, they had to use forklifts to transport them.

  After loading the stones, they were ready to be sent to Donghai. As soon as the car was loaded, Li Yunfei arrived with his men. However, they did not show up and instead kept watch outside Feicui City.

  Not long after, the truck set off, with a black BMW parked far behind. Li Yunfei also brought his men and followed far behind.

  After buying that batch of raw stones, Zhang Jun planned to come back after a while to avoid arousing suspicion. He then took his men back to the hotel and waited for Li Yunfei's news.

  At the same time, the Municipal Bureau's Criminal Investigation Brigade was carrying out a manhunt operation. Shen Rong, who had been promoted to Deputy Brigade Commander, led more than 20 police officers and surrounded several criminal suspects on a small hill in the suburbs.

  The mountain was full of thorns and withered grass, making it easy to hide. As the sky grew darker, people didn't dare act rashly, lest they let the suspect escape.

  "Captain Shen, why hasn't the reinforcement arrived yet? It'll be even harder to search and capture once it's completely dark." A middle-aged police officer said in a low voice, looking very dissatisfied.

  "Let's wait a bit, we're short-handed and going into the mountains can easily lead to casualties. Safety comes first, without 100% assurance, we can't act rashly."

  Many police officers also knew this truth, but if they waited any longer, the suspect might take advantage of the darkness to escape, and that would be a failure. No one could bear the responsibility.

  A young police officer said, "It would be better if Captain Qin were here, unfortunately he's at home recovering from his injuries." As soon as the words left his mouth, he knew they weren't right and hastily added, "Of course, Captain Shen is also a great leader."

  Shen Rong bit her lip, she had been the deputy captain for a short time, and the people in the team obviously had some doubts about her ability. If she couldn't catch the suspect today, it would be difficult for her to continue as the deputy captain.

  Suddenly, she thought of Zhang Jun and secretly said: "At the beginning, he alone could knock down five or six opponents in an instant, his strength was great, it would be best if he could help me."

  She looked up at the sky and saw that it would be dark in about half an hour. After a struggle, she still dialed Zhang Jun's phone number.

  At this moment, Zhang Jun was standing at the counter of the hotel lobby and asked: "Shen Rong, is there something?"

  "After all, we are asking for help and facing danger. She couldn't open her mouth and said: 'Zhang Jun, our team is surrounding the suspect, but the reinforcements have not arrived yet. If we don't take action soon, the suspect may escape.'"

  Zhang was a clever person and sensed that the other party wanted his help. He thought for a moment, then asked: "How many people are there on your side? What kind of weapons do you have?"

  If the suspect had a gun, he wouldn't have intervened, after all, that's too risky, and he's not a professional police officer, no need to risk his life.

  Shen Rong said: "According to the informant's message, there are seven of them, no guns on their bodies, but they carry daggers."

  "Tell me the location, I'll be right there."

  Shen Rong was overjoyed: "Thank you, Zhang Jun."

  He hung up the phone and drove directly to the location Shen Rong had told him. When he first came to Kyoto, he had put this Volvo in the carriage and pulled it to Kyoto, so that it would not be inconvenient when using the car.

  About half an hour later, he rushed down the mountain. The car lights flickered, and Shen Rong hurried over, saying: "The reinforcements will arrive in about ten minutes, shall we wait?"

  Zhang Jun smiled and said: "Since I've come, I'll help you get rid of them." He glanced at the sky, night had already fallen, but it didn't affect his line of sight.

  "Good, let's go together!"

  Zhang Jun waved his hand and said, "No need, you all stay at the foot of the mountain. It's too dark, and with more people it will only get chaotic."

  The young police officer walked over and, upon hearing Zhang Jun's words, couldn't help but let out a cold snort: "From your tone, it sounds like you're something special, but after all, we are the professional police officers. You just follow behind us."

  Shen Rong was furious in her heart. This young policeman had just graduated from the police academy, was young and arrogant, and didn't know about Zhang Jun's past at the Golden Store, so he spoke out of turn.

  "Shut up, Wang Cheng!" she rebuked, "Zhang Jun was able to subdue five thugs armed with knives and guns in three seconds. Do you think you're stronger than him?"

  Wang Cheng was stunned, speechless, but still unwilling to concede, and hummed a sound before retreating to the side.

  Zhang Jun didn't bother to argue with him and asked: "Do you know the specific location of those people?"

  "They should be above the waist of the mountain on the north side."

  Zhang Jun nodded and said, "You guys get ready down there." After finishing speaking, he walked up the small hill in big strides and soon disappeared from people's sight.

  In the dark of night, he could see everything clearly, almost no different from daytime. His footsteps were light and quick, his figure flashing as he burst out over a dozen meters, bringing the Dragon Step to its ultimate limit.

  He walked quickly while observing the surroundings. When he reached the middle of the mountain, he started walking horizontally around it. After about three minutes, he saw a patch of trampled dry grass and some thorns that had been broken by someone.

  "It should be around here, following these marks will lead me to them." He thought to himself as he started walking up the mountain.

  This time, he walked more slowly, his footsteps silent. Five minutes later, he faintly heard heavy panting sounds coming from ahead and immediately slowed down again, crouching on the ground like a cat, looking forward.

  Thirty meters away, three people sat in a circle on top of a huge boulder, vigilantly scanning their surroundings. Around the boulder, four others were scattered to keep watch.

  Among the three people on the giant rock, there was a dark and thin young man who said in a low voice: "In five minutes, we will rush out from four directions separately."

  This person's tone is quite strange and doesn't seem like a local.

  Another young man with yellow hair said, "Old Ruan, once it gets dark, they won't be able to see us at all. The difficulty of our escape is not great. Let's go back and take the money first, lest we have a long and sleepless night. As for that sum of money, you should tell your brothers where you put it."

  The dark and thin young man's eyes had a layer of dead ash color, his voice coldly said: "As for the money, you don't need to ask about it."

  The young man with a yellow head shrugged: "Old Ruan, you are after all a Thai, and you don't understand our Kyoto territory. I'm really worried that you'll forget the place and lose big."

  The dark and thin young man snorted coldly and ignored him, but instead focused his attention on the surroundings, then said: "There are still three minutes, everyone get ready to go down the mountain!"

  Zhang Jun knew that if he waited any longer, the person would escape. He observed for a moment, then approached the one responsible for keeping watch on the easternmost side. His movements were very light and didn't make a sound. Moreover, in this darkness, even if he appeared right in front of him, it would only be a vague black shadow.

  Zhang Jun approached within a meter of the person's back, who still had no awareness, then he felt a numbness in the back of his head and the person fainted to the ground.

  In the same way, Zhang Jun quickly knocked out the four people outside and then walked towards the giant stone. When he arrived, the thin black youth on the giant stone said: "Down the mountain!"

  As soon as the words fell, three people jumped down from the giant rock in a row. The blond young man and another tall and thin man walked in the front. As soon as they jumped down from the giant rock, they felt a pain in the back of their heads and fainted.

  The dull thud of the human body falling to the ground startled the thin young man in black on the rock, who let out a loud roar and suddenly rose into the air, his elbows raised high, striking down towards Zhang Jun's position.

  Zhang Jun was shocked, seeing that this move was extremely fierce and powerful. If he were to be hit, his brains would splatter out. He quickly dodged to the side, avoiding the attack. As soon as the opponent landed, Zhang Jun countered with a punch.

  The dark and thin young man took a strange step, suddenly shifted one meter sideways, turned around, and punched out an elbow again.

  Zhang Jun intentionally tried to test his opponent's strength, so he charged forward with a fierce attack.
