Chapter 168: Someone Did Something

As the machine cut and polished, the stone surface was removed off bit by bit, but it did not reveal the green color of jade like the first two stones. Instead, it was still a stone.

The polisher continued to go down. In five minutes, a large piece was shaved off, but it was still stone.

The person cutting stopped the machine and took out the flashlight in his hand again to shine on the stone. There was no green at all where it had been polished. In fact, it was completely opaque.

The stone man moved the flashlight in his hand to the unpolished stone surface and said, “Let’s try again. Now, everyone can see that the light on the stone surface is still green, which means that there’s jade below. But when we move the light of the flashlight to the place that has been polished, the green light is gone.”

The stone maker put away the flashlight and looked at everyone. “Everyone can understand what 1 mean, right? When the green color that appears after shining on the stone skin moves to a polished place, the green color will disappear. This means that this stone was artificially forged. Apply a layer of special paint on the surface of ordinary stone and it will produce this effect.”

The crowd was in an uproar. Gu Lian felt the pleasure of revenge. He looked at Gu Cheng, who had been sweating since he cut the stone. He could not help but smile and quickly suppressed it.

Then, he adjusted his expression and said coldly, “Check the surveillance cameras and find out who did this. The remaining stones won’t be auctioned. They’ll be opened in front of everyone to check if there are any problems with the stones.”

Since Gu Lian had spoken, the people below naturally had no choice but to comply. They quickly moved the three stone-cutting machines on the side up and began to open the stones one by one. If the stones were cut and revealed green, they would immediately change to the next one.

Of course, the assembly line operation was very fast. Half an hour later, there were stone chips and five stones covered in paint on the ground. Gu Lian couldn’t help but sneer. Gu Cheng could be said to have suffered a double loss this time.

He was the one who suggested stone gambling. The funds were his private money, but Gu Cheng himself had to pretend to be innocent. Gu Lian only felt disgusted.

Gu Cheng looked at the debris on the ground and felt that his heart had broken into pieces with them.

This time, Gu Cheng had invested 80 million yuan in the stone material. He thought that he could earn more by gambling on stones. He did not expect to lose everything in the end. He was very sure now that all of this was Gu Lian’s scheme. He had long seen through his trick on the stone and set a trap with Mo Yu to cheat money.

However, he had no evidence. In addition, he had used a friend’s card to buy the stones. He had transferred his funds to buy it in order to trick Gu Lian and pretend that he had not tampered with it at all. This led to him not even having a place to complain about the injustice.

At this moment, Gu Lian looked at the five stones that had been tampered with and his face turned cold. “Where is the surveillance footage? Has someone swapped the stones or is it originally like this?”

The security chief in charge of the surveillance cameras explained carefully, “We checked the surveillance cameras and everything is normal. It’s just that the surveillance of the stone warehouse was suddenly blocked for a short period of time on the first night. We reasonably suspect that someone sneaked into the warehouse and swapped the stones. However, the stone warehouse requires the fingerprints of the Gu family’s immediate family to enter, so…”

The security officer’s voice became softer and softer. He watched as Gu Lian’s expression darkened bit by bit. He almost didn’t dare to say the last few words.

“So, you’re saying that someone in the Gu family robbed ourselves, and it can only be me, my uncle, my brother, or one of my parents?” Gu Lian’s expression was very ugly. A few people who could not stand this pressure had already left quietly.

Compared to watching the show, their life was more important.

Under Gu Lian’s pressure, the entire venue fell into a stormy silence. In the end, Gu Cheng could not take it anymore and slowly said, “If you only need fingerprints, it’s actually very easy to fake. If you touch the glass, there will be fingerprints on the glass, or a mirror, faucet, glass, and stainless steel. Perhaps someone took fingerprints and opened the door, swapping the stones.”

When the security chief heard this explanation, he immediately agreed.

After all, if such a huge accusation was really pinned on the Gu family just now, his life in the future would definitely not be easy. Now that there was a way out, he naturally followed this explanation..
