[Episode 21]

4

How far is this place from the mining area?

5

Not far.

6

Then, let's see when we arrive at the mine.

7

Okay.

8

Careful.

9

There is dust flying all over this place.

10

Thank you.

11

You're Chinese?

12

My mom donated a primary school to the village around the mine area.

13

These kids basically all know some simple Chinese.

14

My mom often says that this world changes too quickly.

15

Maybe in the future, all the jobs in the mine will be replaced by machines.

16

Then, we won't ever need mine workers again.

17

So, the children should read and learn more so that they can choose their own path in life.

18

What does a mining village mean?

19

It's pretty far from the city here.

20

Over time, the small villages around here came together to form a new mining village.

21

Most of the youths in the mining area work here.

22

But if this mine can't produce more good materials,

23

it might be sold off.

24

Then, would all of these mining workers lose their jobs?

25

It's okay if it is a consortium or a financial group. But if it is a big mine owner, he will have his own miners.

26

He will not use his own money to support so many extra workers.

27

The world of wealthy people is too cruel.

28

Before, I heard that if you want to buy good rough stone, you must pass by the Hu family's mine.

29

That is because the fame of the Hu family's mine has spread far and wide.

30

A transformation will definitely bring changes. But I believe that with Madam Hu being so daring,

31

she wouldn't treat her workers unfairly. Right?

32

A few years ago, there were mountain flash floods. All the villages here were drowned.

33

My mom called them over and taught them how to operate machines.

34

They worked as miners to support themselves.

35

I really can't imagine how they'll live once they leave this place.

36

I hope that the new mine owner will keep them.

37

What's that in front?

38

In front of us is an abandoned mine for nothing can be found.

39

Can we go take a look?

40

We can. Let's go.

41

This is a mine branch that's being sampled lately.

42

From the number of sighs my mom made these two days, I think its mission will be terminated soon.

43

This mine will probably be sold off.

44

Before he passed away, my grandfather said that he'd leave half of himself here.

45

Even though Pagan isn't his ancestral home,

46

he is grateful for the support and care he'd received from it.

47

Ten years ago, my mom and I

48

scattered my grandfather's ashes here.

49

I can't bear to leave this place.

50

I think that you don't need to be so sad about it.

51

Who knows? The situation might change for the better. Besides, Zhuang Rui's here.

52

Who knows? Maybe he can help. Isn't that right, Zhuang Rui?

53

Who knows? The situation might change for the better.

54

The rock that Little Yun is holding right now has jadeite in it.

55

Do you know what this means?

56

Stuffed pancakes are falling from the sky.

57

Then this is...

58

Don't keep us guessing anymore.

59

This is a piece of jadeite from the old-crater mine.

60

Old crater jadeite are mineral deposits from its original bed

61

being transported by flowing water to a certain location. After a period of time of sorting,

62

they finally turn into an outstanding piece of jadeite.

63

This type of jadeite normally appears in large quantities.

64

Which is to say, there isn't just one piece of this type of rock.

65

Say the main point.

66

The main point is, the Hu family's mine

67

still has a large amount of outstanding material to source from.

68

Really? Then our family's mine can still be saved?

69

You are speaking without evidence. Do you have any evidence?

70

This... This is just my personal speculation.

71

My mom and Old Zhou have already searched all over the mine area

72

and they haven't found any new sources to mine.

73

I think maybe it's that we thought about it too simply.

74

Boss Hu has so many professional exploration groups, so we probably don't need to spend our energy on this. Right?

75

If Xiao Rui says there is jadeite, I think there definitely is.

76

Since there is a possibility that the new mine source exists, why is there a hurry to deny it? This is a good thing.

77

Xiao Fei, I feel that lately, your thought process and awareness has increased a lot.

78

But I think that Peng Fei's right.

79

Finding a new mine source is very important to the Hu family.

80

Even if there's only a 1 in 10 thousand chance, it's still worth trying.

81

If our mine still has jade in it, my mom definitely won't sell it.

82

Some rumors circulated recently from unknown sources

83

saying that the early exploration of our mines have been completed,

84

but no jade was found; hence, it has become an unusable mine.

85

Even if we sold it, the losses would be huge.

86

Wen Wen, why don't you discuss it with your mom and tell her our opinions?

87

Maybe,

88

there's still a chance.

89

We are going to sign the contract on the day after next. I hope you will abide by the agreement.

90

Okay. As long as you settle the matter well, I will not go back on my words.

91

Wen Wen already told me about it.

92

You can talk to me directly about it.

93

I will highly value your opinions.

94

Miss Hu is paying a lot of attention to and cares a lot about this matter.

95

Yes. She's my daughter after all.

96

I'm very glad that she's so sensible.

97

But I've already decided about this matter.

98

In two days, I'll sign a contract to have the mine change hands.

99

In two days? That rushed?

100

This mine has been dragging on for too long.

101

This time, the reasons I spent such a high bidding price to buy stone 303 were;

102

firstly, I want to prove to everyone that

103

our Hu family has the capabilities.

104

Secondly, I really can't afford to lose anymore.

105

I'd rather lose a little profit to procure a guarantee.

106

Aunt Hu.

107

Here, sit.

108

I know. Some things,

109

I shouldn't say to you nor to anyone.

110

But, Little Zhuang, I trust my judgment.

111

I've bet on stones for half my life without losing. I've also never lost in betting on people.

112

I trust that you're a good kid.

113

You're really looking out for us, that's why I'm saying these things to you.

114

Right now, if we shift the ownership of this mine,

115

our position in the industry is still stable,

116

and then we can search for new developments.

117

Worst case scenario, we will be like Old Qin,

118

buying rough stones before processing and selling them.

119

Old Zhou's newest analysis results are out.

120

The mine supply line broke off. There isn't even a shadow of jadeite.

121

In the past, we wasted too much manpower and resources.

122

For the sake of the Hu family, I can't let it drag on any further.

123

I also hope that we are able to find a new mine vein. But, Little Zhuang,

124

for just a few words from you, I can't

125

bet everything that my Hu family has.

126

I understand.

127

Then,

128

why don't we collaborate?

129

We'll bear the risks together and distribute the profits proportionately.

130

Little Zhuang, do you know that

131

even Old Qin doesn't dare to speak up about collaborating with me?

132

It's really because I think that it's sacred land.

133

But I also don't know how to express my feelings.

134

I am reckless.

135

If I've said anything that's out-of-line, please forgive me.

136

You're really interested in this mine source?

137

Even though I've never had any contact with mine sources before,

138

I do still have some confidence in bidding for stones.

139

I believe that there are similarities with gambling stones and gambling on mines.

140

The mine source as a whole is like a raw stone.

141

How to cut it, where to cut it, whether to cut it deep or thin,

142

and even who cuts the stone all directly influences the value of the raw stone.

143

Of course, luck also plays a part.

144

In everything, there's no absolute.

145

But I still hope that you'll consider it.

146

Then, how confident are you?

147

60%.

148

60%?

149

Little Brother, you are making a risky chess move.

150

High risk comes with high returns.

151

As for whether to bet or not,

152

it depends on you.

153

One month.

154

I'll give you a month's time to find a new mine source.

155

I'll give you 1/4 of the the profits of the first batch.

156

That much?

157

If this matter succeeds, I'll stick to my word.

158

Okay.

159

Oh, right. I think that there's something that you should know.

160

Tell me.

161

You guys went to the mine area again?

162

You've played there for so many years and you're still not tired of it?

163

In any case, grandfather's ashes are still on that mountain.

164

The mine mountain is about to be sold.

165

I want to go over there and bid farewell.

166

Uncle Zhou, don't you think that my mom was too rash about this decision?

167

The primary phase of exploration of some mines are rather long.

168

I think that we can try again.

169

I've also tried persuading her. It's no use.

170

It hasn't produced rough stones for so long.

171

There are rumors in the market that

172

if we don't let go soon, it'll get difficult.

173

But Brother Zhuang Rui thinks that our mine still can be saved.

174

I also think so.

175

I hope that he can convince my mom.

176

Little Zhuang? What did he discover?

177

Uncle Zhou, can I ask you a question?

178

From the initial extraction of the samples of our family's mines to the testing,

179

you alone were responsible for it.

180

Did you ever feel that something was not quite right?

181

What?

182

A rough stone sample was thrown away?

183

Look.

184

This raw stone has very obvious signs of people cutting it.

185

Furthermore, the marking on it is the same as that of the test lab.

186

We picked this stone from the entrance of Kachin Hills.

187

The Test Lab is more than 10 km from the entrance to Kachin Hills.

188

To say that it was accidentally dropped,

189

isn't that a bit far-fetched?

190

What do you mean?

191

This stone's size isn't large, the sliced opening is new,

192

and it showed purple after being wiped.

193

People with common sense, based on their own judgment, will know that

194

this is a piece of purple jadeite of outstanding quality.

195

A piece of top-quality purple jadeite being mined from your mine

196

is extremely good news.

197

Why didn't anyone report it and instead threw it away?

198

Someone doesn't want me to know the truth.

199

This rough stone sample came from the Test Lab.

200

It can't be Old Zhou.

201

One does not suspect the person he uses.

202

That year, when our Hu family clan was having difficulties,

203

it was Old Zhou who helped raise money for us to overcome those difficulties.

204

A few of our mine veins were discovered by him.

205

I've already told you earlier.

206

I've never lost at bidding on people or stones.

207

Then what about other people?

208

I'll go investigate right now.

209

You guys found a raw stone sample?

210

Uncle Zhou, don't get anxious first.

211

If someone really did this, my mom would definitely find him.

212

Then is the raw stone sample with you? Can I take a look at it?

213

Now, it should be with my mom.

214

If the original stone sample is indeed from the test lab,

215

it's because I didn't supervise well and gave someone a chance to take advantage.

216

I've wronged Chairman Hu.

217

Uncle Zhou, Uncle Zhou, how can this be blamed on you?

218

Someone must be deliberately making things hard on us.

219

Once we find him, we definitely won't be nice to him.

220

Right. I have to go back now and check the safe in the lab.

221

- Wen Wen, can you help me a bit?

- Okay.

222

Let's go.

223

It's me. About the contract,

224

temporarily delay it. Wait for my news.

225

What do you mean? You can't find Wen Wen?

226

- Quickly go find her.

- Yes.

227

What's wrong with Hu Wen?

228

Miss has disappeared. Her bed hasn't been touched.

229

The guards didn't see her go out, either.

230

But we just can't find her.

231

Don't worry. She probably only went out for a stroll. She'll come back soon.

232

- Go look again.

- Okay.

233

Let my daughter go.

234

If you dare to hurt Wen Wen, I definitely won't let you off.

235

As for other things, I'm willing to discuss them.

236

Aunt Hu, what's going on?

237

Wen Wen is in their hands.

238

Them? Who are they?

239

Bo Gang. This person

240

is on good terms with both the police and the triads. It is very difficult to handle him.

241

Do you have a personal feud with each other?

242

He is the buyer of my mine.

243

We got to know each other through...

244

It was Old Zhou who acted as our go-between.

245

Go, call Old Zhou for me!

246

Mr. Zhou didn't come to work today,

247

but his assistant did come.

248

You were right.

249

There's fishy business going on in the mines.

250

Aunt Hu, let's report to the police first.

251

No. These people are very violent. It'll only hurt Wen Wen.

252

Bo Gang just wants to use the contract and have me exchange it for Wen Wen.

253

Old Zhou is their spy.

254

Then, what should we do now?

255

Bo Gang has arranged for me to meet with him for the negotiation in the casino tomorrow.

256

Does this Bo Gang keep his word?

257

What if after you gave him the contract tomorrow, he turns his back on you?

258

Who's going to ensure Wen Wen's safety?

259

Me.

260

I can.

261

Do we really need to dress like this?

262

We need it to create the character.

263

Come. Do this pose.

264

Pose.

265

Pose.

266

Make it more seductive.

267

Do some more.

268

Feifei, I realize that you are very flexible.

269

You're able to pretend to be pure but can also act as a seductress.

270

You have many paths that you can act. Not bad.

271

Fine. Fine. What else should we do now?

272

Oh, right. Why are you just standing here? Quickly go over there.

273

Why?

274

Audition.

275

No, say, are you two leaving such a wide gap in between for me to go in?

276

That's more like it.

277

You are standing so straight. Are you worried that other people would not know that you are on the side of justice?

278

Lovers! Lovers, do you understand? Can you be more intimate?

279

Closer!

280

Not bad. But Feifei, can you put your arm on Xiao Rui's arm?

281

Move aside.

282

Look at me.

283

Do you get it?

284

If you're so capable, why don't you do it?

285

If I do it, I'm afraid that you won't be able to handle it.

286

Okay. OKay. We don't have time to play with you. Quickly tell us your plan.

287

- It's been so long!

- Details.

288

The most important things are the details.

289

Didn't Bo Gang already say that he will release her immediately after the negotiation, so that Boss Hu can bring her back?

290

So I think that Hu Wen is definitely being kept in the casino.

291

So you guys have to hurry up and save her.

292

Dress up as Chinese gamblers.

293

The hedonistic son of rich parents matched with the sexy wild cat, perfect!

294

While we're going in to save her, what are you doing?

295

That's right.

296

I am only in charge of planning.

297

Remain outside to give us support then.

298

Perfect!

299

The first floor of the casino is where the gambling takes place.

300

The second floor is the VIP lounge, according to the info that Chairman Hu obtained.

301

There are several rooms in the basement. They are used to hold gamblers who owe debts. So,

302

Hu Wen most likely is being held there.

303

That should be the door leading to basement level 1, right?

304

Bo Gang has rigorous schemes and deep foresight, so he will definitely send someone to watch over Hu Wen.

305

And this person is Bo Gang's most trusted subordinate, Kun Sha.

306

I'm begging you. Be obedient and eat some.

307

If you die from hunger here,

308

how will we negotiate with your mom?

309

And the best way to attract Kun Sha's attention is to gamble.

310

Zhuang Rui is in charge of diverting Kun Sha's attention.

311

Feifei, after Kun Sha is distracted, you have to remember

312

that you must quickly implement the rescue operation at basement level 1.

313

And Chairman Hu will go with the original plan of negotiating with Bo Gang to ensure that there's enough time

314

for us to enact the rescue plan.

315

Old Zhou, what exactly did I do to offend you

316

that you did something like this to me?

317

Wouldn't you consider even a bit of our old friendship?

318

Old friendship?

319

Lady Hu, isn't the old friendship between us

320

built on benefits, too?

321

After all these years, I did quite a lot for the Hu family.

322

But what I got, I think, isn't really enough.

323

The pursuit of profits draws people together under Heaven.

324

You have been in the business world for so long.

325

You surely can understand such a simple principle, right?

326

Breaking faith and abandoning what is right,

327

yet you are still speaking so eloquently.

328

It is not wrong to talk about profits in doing business.

329

But you have to be a human first, right?

330

You watched Wen Wen grow up.

331

She's been calling you "Uncle" for the past 20 years. Don't you feel ashamed?

332

- But—

- Stop!

333

Those don't seem to be the topics we're supposed to discuss today.

334

Lady Hu, you've always been energetic and resolute with your actions.

335

Who doesn't know this in our business?

336

At this stage, you're still making a big fuss about these things.

337

Do you think there's still a point?

338

I suggest that you

339

quickly sign the contract

340

and bring your precious daughter home. As for the personal grudges between the two of you,

341

it won't be too late to slowly resolve those.

342

Quietly stay here for a few hours.

343

As soon as the contract is signed, I'll let you go.

344

If you insist on going against me,

345

I really can't bear to scratch your beautiful round face.

346

What is it? Speak.

347

Hello, Boss? There is a guest here who has already won six rounds.

348

No, Boss, it should be seven rounds.

349

Is he cheating?

350

We did not discover anything.

351

Okay. I'll go there immediately.

352

I suggest that you eat something.

353

It's already been half an hour, how come they're not out yet?

354

Don't worry. Have patience.

355

How am I supposed to be patient? This isn't any regular place.

356

They haven't received professional training like you. What if they get found out?

357

Let me go look.

358

Okay. You have to be careful.

359

- You, too.

- Right.

360

Don't move!

361

- Why are you here?

- Xiao Yun asked me to come over.

362

- Feifei!

- Feifei, while they still haven't noticed anything,

363

quickly take Miss Hu and leave.

364

Lady Hu, both our mines share the same origins.

365

If you give me your mine,

366

I'd have the complete mountain.

367

It's only a few pages. Do you really have to look at them for so long?

368

Mr. Bo Gang, I am a businesswoman.

369

I have to closely read through every condition

370

to avoid my profits from suffering.

371

Contract? The contract is just a process.

372

When did we ever use a contract when we did business?

373

Stop wasting time.

374

Don't forget. Your daughter is still in my hands.

375

Boss, I think there's something wrong.

376

Hu Rong loves her daughter very much.

377

To exchange the jade mine for her daughter,

378

she wouldn't need to consider it for so long at all.

379

She keeps going back and forth with the contract repeatedly.

380

Is she delaying time?

381

Hello? Understood.

382

Seal all the doors! No one is allowed to leave!

383

Young fellow, wait for me!

384

Seal all the doors! Do not allow anyone to leave!

385

Don't let everyone go out.
