CHAPTER 435: CHAPTER 298: TRANSFER OF FUNDS

Chapter 298

After Sui Yi wrapped herself in a towel, she took her own flask of wine. "Hmm, there’s a section of vein underwater."

Upon hearing this, Yang Gaodan immediately turned around. "A section?" He discerned the implication. "Lady, are you saying... there is a vein here?"

"Perhaps, let’s settle on this place..." In the past few days, Sui Yi had tested the accuracy of that book, and indeed, the mysterious ancient Loulan was extraordinary; his methods of judgment were right eight or nine times out of ten. She had seen many jade mines that had already been mined, becoming increasingly certain before finally arriving at the largest concentration of jade mines—Kunlun Mountains.

It wasn’t that she was unwilling to look for veins elsewhere, but those places either had fewer veins, or the prices were incredibly high, often in the billions, and the forces involved were too complex for her to intervene at the moment. Hence, she could only come to Kunlun Mountains.

Although Kunlun Mountains was the largest jade mine site, it was also dangerously tricky to navigate, and the veins themselves were hard to find, which ironically made it easier to get involved. Even though the capital required to initiate mining was not low, the cost of purchasing rights was much cheaper...

After all, no one could find the veins in Kunlun Mountains unless they were incredibly lucky.

Sui Yi had Magnetic Sensation ability, which allowed her to determine if there was jade through solid objects, combined with the book, it naturally became a potent tool...

Of course, what she did not tell Yang Gaodan was that the vein was massive, extremely large.

She had found a section of the vein downstream two days ago but lacked a reasonable excuse to claim its presence. Relying solely on her Art of Vein Severing might raise suspicions, so she had to move upstream. There, in the middle of the river and under the water, she found some exposed jade skins...

There was no need for Sui Yi to explain; this was the most blatant evidence. Yang Gaodan was already very excited about implementing the plan he had been considering these past few days.

"First off, we need to recruit some people and make sure we have all the necessary equipment. I know some excellent miners, though I’m not sure if I can still contact them... But what’s most important is..."

Sui Yi looked at him, taking a sip of wine to soothe the slight discomfort from the cold entering her body, "You decide on those, just tell me how much funding is needed."

After all, Yang Gaodan had also spent a lot of time researching the market prices for some equipment over the past month. After thinking it over, he said, "The specific expense depends on the size and difficulty of mining this vein, but I estimate it won’t exceed three hundred million.

Three hundred million? Zhang Wei’s breath tightened slightly.

Yang Gaodan looked at him, slightly vexed. "I’m talking about US dollars."

Zhang Wei: "..."

"Three hundred million US dollars, that’s about what I expected... Let’s go down the mountain first."

Sui Yi was always decisive; she didn’t linger and started preparing to descend immediately. While packing her luggage, she noticed that the Eastern Lady was continuously looking at Lenggele Gorge, also known as Hell’s Gate.

"That place might be fascinating, but it’s not suitable now; you should first regain your strength," she advised.

The Eastern Lady turned to look at her, her lips curving slightly. "Will you come with me?"

"I won’t," Sui Yi replied without even considering it.

"What if I said that Hell’s Gate is also connected to Loulan and the High Priest?"

Loulan was a thorn in Sui Yi’s heart, and the High Priest... was a secret.

A secret she herself did not want to touch; she turned and looked towards Dongfang Bubai.

But she said nothing.

The Eastern Lady suddenly smiled, her brows arching mischievously, a blend of enchanting beauty and bold heroism.

"Don’t worry, if it costs people their lives, I’d willingly lay down mine for you..."

This person always spoke flippantly, occasionally revealing a stern coldness. Sui Yi had immunized herself against her words and did not pay much attention, only noticing her affection for the piece of Mutton Fat Jade she was fiddling with.

"If you like it, just take it."

"Hm?" She looked up at Sui Yi. "I never take things from others without reason, for fear of misunderstanding intentions."

Sui Yi silently swept over the other’s clothes, phone, etc...

If it were about intentions, she’d already been thoroughly claimed.

Why was she never serious in her speech with her?

"But since it’s from you, I guess I’ll reluctantly accept it," the Eastern Lady teased as the creamy white, lustrous Mutton Fat Jade twirled around her fingertips, dancing.

Yang Gaodan broke into a sweat; oh dear, he had briefly seen and knew this piece of Mutton Fat Jade was worth millions, and yet she just gave it away?

And the Eastern Lady really accepted it?

This relationship was really quite extraordinary.

Although it hurt to part with it, the riverbed below clearly contained much high-quality jade. Before leaving, Zhang Wei dived under and brought up ten pieces of fine jade—it was incomparable to the first piece, but the value was still very high.
