"Of course! Just say it!"
Mr. Qi sneered and said, "I also want to see how you con artists usually deceive people."
Jas Ye shrugged and said, "I didn't really want to expose your scam, but since you insist, I can't refuse."
"Scam? Kid, are you saying we all got it wrong?"
Guo Ming, who had been calm and composed, suddenly sneered.
Jas glanced at him and said coldly, "You're the dumbest one here..."
"Kid, you're courting death!" Guo Ming was instantly furious.
Jas ignored him and continued, "The jade is real, I'll give you that. At least you scamrs have so conscience."
He went on, "But this jade isn't so Blood Silk Jade from the Zhou Dynasty, nor was it nurtured by so enlightened monk. It's just a high-quality yellow jade from Hetian. It's worth sothing, but at most fifty thousand."
"Rubbish. Can't you see the jade is red?" Mr. Qi retorted angrily.
Jas continued, "The red color is due to manganese mineral erosion. You don't really think it's soaked in the blood of so monk's corpse, do you?"
"Then what about the warm feeling we sensed?" Qin Gang asked urgently, frowning.
Jas shook his head and said, "That's even simpler. It's caused by a hallucinogenic effect from the roots of a plant called Glara grass from Africa. Grind the roots into powder, dissolve it in water, and soak the jade in it for about six months. To dispel the effect, just burn the jade with fire."
"Kid! How dare you spout such nonsense!" The fat man slapped the table and stood up.
Edward Li's face darkened as he looked at the fat man and said, "Take the jade and burn it."
The fat man, sweating profusely, said, "What burning? This kid is clearly showing off and deceiving you. Don't listen to his nonsense!"
Qin Gang tapped his fingers on the table and said, "If the effect remains after burning, I'll buy it. But if it doesn't, you know the consequences... The Qin family may be in so trouble recently, but we're not to be trifled with!"
Patricia Song nodded and said, "If Mr. Ye is wrong, burning the jade won't matter. It won't get damaged. But if he's right, you owe us an explanation today!"
The fat man was instantly drenched in sweat.
None of these three families were ones he could afford to offend.
The scam was set up with Mr. Qi's inside help to swindle Patricia Song out of so money and then split the loot with Mr. Qi.
He never expected Jas Ye to show up and expose everything with a single sentence!
Jas Ye didn't know much about jade before.
The reason he could see through the jade's problem at a glance was entirely because of the "Nine Mysterious Heavenly Scriptures."
For so reason, when he saw the jade, the answers appeared in his mind.

It seed that appraising antique jade was one of the skills in the "Nine Mysterious Heavenly Scriptures."
Seeing the fat man remain silent, Jas Ye sneered, "What? Feeling guilty? Afraid to speak?"
The fat man's face turned pale, but he still didn't say whether he was willing to burn the jade.
Jas Ye then said angrily, "Fatty, do you think staying silent will help? You should know, this is Jinling! The people you've deceived here are all wealthy and powerful. A re finger snap from them could make you disappear without a trace! I advise you to be sensible and confess quickly, or no one can save you!"
Patricia Song knew Jas was applying psychological pressure, so she imdiately cooperated and said with a stern face, "Our Song family has so standing in Jinling. If soone dares to deceive us, we must teach them a harsh lesson. If we go easy, our family's reputation will suffer!"
The fat man was scared out of his wits!
He knew how powerful the Song family was. If he really angered Patricia Song, he might die in Jinling!
In a panic, he desperately called out to Mr. Qi, "Mr. Qi, save ! This isn't just my problem!"
Mr. Qi's face changed drastically, and he roared, "You... How dare you deceive the Song family and implicate ? I'll kill you!"
With that, Mr. Qi pulled out a dagger from his pocket, his eyes flashing with cold light, and lunged at the fat man.
The fat man, eyes wide with rage, cursed, "Damn it, you turn on faster than flipping a book! You were the one who said the Song family relies on your word for appraisals. As long as you said it was good, it would sell. You set up!"
Patricia Song glanced coldly at the two of them, then said to Jas Ye, "Mr. Ye, I'm sorry you had to see this. Thanks to you, let's leave now. Our family will handle these people."
Jas Ye nodded slightly and said, "Alright, let's go."
With that, the two of them got up to leave.
Seeing Patricia Song about to leave, Mr. Qi panicked. He knelt on the ground and pleaded, "Miss Song, please spare . I've been loyal to the Song family for so many years. Please forgive this once..."
Before Patricia could speak, Edward Li stood up and sneered, "You old fool, you set up a scam to swindle and your own master, and for billions at that. Do you think the Song family will spare you?"
Mr. Qi's face turned ashen, and he collapsed to the ground.
Edward Li continued, "Even if the Song family spares you, I, Edward Li, will not!"
Mr. Qi broke down in tears, completely devastated.
Patricia Song shook her head slightly and said to Jas Ye, "I'm really sorry, Mr. Ye. Our Song family made a mistake in employing people. You've seen a joke."
Jas Ye said calmly, "There are treacherous people everywhere. No need to apologize, Miss Song."
At this mont, Edward Li from Haicheng, along with Guo Ming and Qin Gang from the Qin family in Jinling, all ca out.
Seeing Jas Ye, Edward Li imdiately stepped forward and cupped his fists, saying, "Master Ye, thanks to you today, otherwise I would have been deceived by this scoundrel!"
Guo Ming, feeling sowhat ashad, said, "Master Ye, you truly are a young hero. I didn't see through their jade trick earlier. I'm ashad!"
Qin Gang also cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Ye, thanks to you today, otherwise the three of us would have fought over a fake, suffering heavy losses and becoming a laughingstock!"
Jas Ye smiled faintly and said, "No need to be so polite. I was invited by Miss Song to appraise the item, so it was my duty."
After so polite exchanges, Jas Ye and Patricia Song got into the car together.
At this mont, the courtyard behind them was silent.
But Jas Ye could see that just as they left, several black-clothed n in black suits quickly entered.
It seed that Mr. Qi and the fat man were dood!
