The dumbfounded Ma Guojun.

Through the telescope, Ye Fei joyfully spotted Duan Fei in his field of view. Duan Fei's face was flushed, obviously having had quite a bit to drink. He seemed very excited, which made Ye Fei sneer. He quietly observed as Duan Fei opened the rolling door and walked into the Jade Pavilion.

Ye Fei lit a cigarette that he hadn't finished smoking, silently calculating the time, waiting for the good news.

As expected by Ye Fei, tonight's events were all planned by Duan Fei during the day.

Stimulated by Ye Fei's consecutive successful jade carvings, Duan Fei had been feeling absent-minded since Ye Fei left. Every time he saw that piece of old pit material, his heart would race with excitement. In the afternoon, he couldn't hold back any longer and found Zhou Yiran.

"Master Zhou, is that old pit material really that good?" Duan Fei asked.

Zhou Yiran was so angry that his beard was blown up. How dare this young guy question him? This kind of self-righteous behavior was an insult to him. After all, Zhou Yiran had been in the jade business for decades. How could he not know whether the material was good or not? He took a deep breath and replied, "Of course, I, Zhou Yiran, have been in the jade business for decades. How could I not know whether the material is good or not? I can say that there is a seventy to eighty percent chance of jade inside that material."

"If that's the case, why don't we carve it ourselves?" Duan Fei asked in confusion.

Zhou Yiran glanced at Duan Fei and said, "You think exactly like me. Although I'm not superstitious, that guy called Ye Fei is indeed mysterious. I also inquired. Before he carved out the jade yesterday, he said he felt very good. Just now, I called Boss Lei and mentioned my carving."

Duan Fei's heart tightened. Boss Lei was the one who cooperated with Xiao Fei to transport these pieces of jade. In a sense, Boss Lei controlled his fate. If Boss Lei agreed to carve out high-value jade tomorrow, his dream of getting rich would be shattered.

"What did Boss Lei say?" Duan Fei asked nervously.

Zhou Yiran replied, "Boss Lei said he will discuss with Boss Xiao and let us wait for news tomorrow."

Duan Fei felt a sinking feeling in his heart. He couldn't sit still anymore. He had been hesitating whether to continue gambling, but now it seemed that there was no time. If Boss Lei and the others agreed tomorrow and carved out the high-value jade, he could only watch the wealth slip away.

With such a fortune right in front of him, how could he let it slip away?

Duan Fei finally made up his mind. He wanted to carve out the jade himself. As long as he successfully carved and sold the jade, he wouldn't need to work for Xiao Fei anymore. The tens of millions of wealth would be enough for him to live a life of luxury.

So, something happened during the dinner. Everyone was drunk and no one returned to the shop, but Duan Fei quietly returned to the Jade Pavilion.

He looked at the old pit material in the warehouse, and the stimulation of the alcohol made Duan Fei extremely excited. He couldn't control himself, he hugged the old pit material and even kissed it. Haha, this high-value jade will soon belong to me! Duan Fei laughed wildly.

However, a few minutes later, Duan Fei was dumbfounded. The material had been cut into fragments, and the jade carved out was only the size of a child's palm. Although Duan Fei had never seen glass-type jade, he knew that this jade was definitely not glass-type. Compared to the jade carved by Ye Fei, it was clearly inferior.

This can't be! It can't be! Ye Fei said he felt very good, Master Zhou also said there's jade inside! How can there be only so little jade! What should I do? What should I do? Three million, three million just gone like that!

Duan Fei was like a gambler who had lost everything, looking around uncontrollably. He saw the raw materials on the shelves, and an uncontrollable thought surged into his mind. To make up for the loss, he had to continue carving. There were still so many raw materials here, and as long as he carved out a glass-type jade, the value of tens of millions would be enough to make up for the loss of these raw materials.

Thinking of this, Duan Fei crazily moved another piece of raw material onto the cutting machine.

Can't stop! I must continue carving!

Duan Fei completely fell into madness. When the alcohol wore off and he sobered up, looking at the floor full of broken stones, he was dumbfounded. There were almost no raw materials left on the shelf, and the jade in his hand added up to only three pieces, the largest of which was not even as big as a fist. Selling these pieces of jade wouldn't even cover the cost of one piece of raw material.

While Duan Fei was carving, Ye Fei was happily smoking and watching the quiet Jade Pavilion. At this moment, Duan Fei had already carved that piece of old pit material, and he must be very excited. Ye Fei smiled; he already knew the result.

Greed is truly the greatest sin.

Ye Fei picked up his phone containing the space card and dialed 999.

"Hello, is this the police station? I just passed by the Jade Pavilion and saw someone sneaking in. I suspect it might be a thief. Please come and check it out," Ye Fei said and hung up the phone.

Without hesitation, he then called Manager Ma's phone.

The phone rang for a long time before a drunken voice answered, "Hello, who is this?"

"Is that Mr. Ma?" There was a layer of gauze over the microphone of Ye Fei's phone, and Manager Ma couldn't recognize Ye Fei's voice at all.

"It's me. Can we talk about it tomorrow?" Manager Ma said with a headache.

"Tomorrow might be too late. I just saw someone enter the Jade Pavilion. You should take care of it." Ye Fei hung up without waiting for a response, and then took out and broke his SIM card, casually tossing it by the roadside.

Ye Fei looked at the Jade Pavilion and knew it was time to leave. If he waited for the police here, being out so late would raise suspicion. He started the car and murmured, "Duan Fei, please don't get into trouble. I still want to visit you in prison!"

After Ye Fei hung up, Manager Ma was startled and shouted, "Hello, hello, who is this?"

Hearing the beeping sound on the other end, Manager Ma knew the call had been disconnected. Was the mysterious person telling the truth or lying? Regardless, he had to go back and check. After all, it was his shift today, and if there really was a problem, it would be a big trouble.

With these thoughts in mind, Manager Ma couldn't fall back asleep. He quickly put on his clothes, hailed a taxi, and hurried back to the Jade Pavilion.

When Manager Ma arrived at the Jade Pavilion, he saw a police car parked outside, with two policemen knocking on the door.

"Officers, what's going on?" Manager Ma rushed over.

"We received a report of a break-in at the Jade Pavilion. Who are you?" The police looked at Manager Ma with suspicion.

"I am Manager Ma, the lobby manager here. Today is my shift." Manager Ma hastily replied.

"Open the door, we need to take a look inside. If everything is fine, we'll leave," the police said.

"Okay, okay, I'll open the door right away," Manager Ma replied.

He quickly raised the rolling shutter door, and Manager Ma noticed something strange—the glass door inside was unlocked, which was an error the staff wouldn't make. He nervously told the police, "It seems like there really was a break-in."

Upon hearing Ye Fei's words, the police became alert and instructed Manager Ma to wait outside while they went in to investigate.

As the two policemen entered, shouts came from inside, "Don't move, put your hands up."

"What are you doing? I'm the manager here," a voice shouted.

Manager Ma was stunned. Wasn't that Duan Fei's voice? What was he doing here?

With these thoughts in mind, Manager Ma felt that something was amiss. He pushed open the door and walked in, all the way to the warehouse where the raw materials were stored, and saw Duan Fei being held down by the police.

"Manager Ma, do you know this person?" the police asked.

"He's Duan Fei, our general manager here. Duan, how did you end up here?" Manager Ma said.

Upon hearing that Duan Fei was also a manager here, the police let him go.

Duan Fei's face was pale as he gasped, "I have something to deal with, I'll leave first."

By this time, Manager Ma had seen the situation in the warehouse clearly. He exclaimed in horror, "Catch him, catch him, he's a thief!"

Duan Fei heard Manager Ma's shout and tried to flee, but he didn't get far before being tackled to the ground by the police. Due to drinking too much and being exhausted, he had no strength left.

At this point, Manager Ma no longer cared about Duan Fei. He stared at the ground littered with broken rocks, feeling as if his heart were being cut with a knife.

All these raw materials were worth a lot of money, and now they were all but lost.

"Duan Fei, have you gone mad?" Manager Ma rushed over and grabbed Duan Fei by the collar.

Though Manager Ma had secretly plotted to get rid of Duan Fei and take his place, he never expected such a situation.

Thinking of the stern expression on Boss Lei's face, Manager Ma felt weak in the legs, unable to stand, and sat down on the ground, muttering to himself, "It's over, it's all over."

The police put Duan Fei in the car, and Manager Ma also went to the police station. On the way, he anxiously called Boss Lei.

"Boss, it's me, Manager Ma!" Manager Ma said.

Lei Zhensheng's voice came on suddenly, "It's so late, what's the matter with the call?"

Manager Ma said with a worried look, "Boss, something's happened. That Duan Fei, do you remember him?"

"What's wrong with him? I told you to keep an eye on him." Lei Zhensheng said sternly.

Manager Ma looked helpless and said, "He swindled us all tonight and then secretly came back to untie the warehouse materials."

"What?" Lei Zhensheng's voice turned serious.

Manager Ma moved the phone farther away and listened to Lei Zhensheng's furious swearing, not daring to say a word.

After a while, Lei Zhensheng calmed down and asked, "How big is the loss?"

"I'm not sure yet, but the high-grade materials on the shelves have all been cut up." Manager Ma said.

Lei Zhensheng fell silent for a moment, then said, "Okay, I understand. Have Master Zhou tally the losses. Duan Fei is Xiao Fei's man, I will hold him accountable. If there is another mistake, you don't need to call me, figure it out yourself."

After hanging up the phone, Manager Ma suddenly remembered the matter of the mysterious caller. He wanted to report it to Lei Zhensheng urgently, but hesitated when he looked at his phone, knowing what Lei Zhensheng's temper was like when he was angry.

So, the matter of the mysterious caller was put on hold.

The next day, after the cleaners finished their work, all the cigarette butts were swept away, and the last clue disappeared. No one would ever know who the mysterious caller was!
