Chapter 221: The Tudor Family's Suspicion
Clarence immediately contacted Darcy Lane: "Mr. Lane, I need the most detailed information on that jade."
Darcy Lane frowned: "Clarence, we're friends, but I still have professional ethics. The jade now belongs to Mr. Xu."
"If you want the information, you'll have to ask him."
Clarence said sternly: "Darcy Lane, it's Mr. Harry of the Tudor family who wants it."
"I'll send it to you right away."
Darcy Lane hung up the phone and quickly found the relevant information, sending it to Clarence.
Within five minutes, Mr. Harry received the information.
At the same time, a top jade expert was already on standby.
"Here is the information, give me the results as soon as possible."
Mr. Harry handed the information to the jade expert.
"Yes, Mr. Harry."
The jade expert quickly reviewed the information. After five minutes, he called Mr. Harry.
"Mr. Harry, purely from an analysis of the jade, it is not one of the types favored by Chinese people."
"Its potential for enhancement is also limited."
The jade expert said cautiously.
Mr. Harry asked: "How much do you think this jade is worth now, and how much could it be worth in the future?"
"If someone really likes it, how much would be a reasonable price?"
The jade expert replied: "Mr. Harry, the market price of this jade is about 150,000 to 180,000 euros."
"In the next ten years, it could at most reach 250,000 euros. Even if someone really likes it, it wouldn't exceed 300,000 euros."
Mr. Harry's eyes flashed with a sharp light: "If someone offers 600,000 euros and this person is not particularly wealthy, what do you think is the situation?"
"If that’s the case, it might have historical value? Sorry, Mr. Harry, I'm not well-versed in Chinese history."
After hanging up, Mr. Harry made another call.
"What did you find?"
"We just found out that Xu Yongjun bought a similar jade in Myanmar, though it's smaller."
Soon, Mr. Harry received a photo of the other jade.
The two pieces of jade were different in size, but their color, texture, and overall feel were quite similar.
Mr. Harry straightened his clothes and then respectfully dialed Lambert's number.
"Marquis, I have some news—"
Mr. Harry quickly reported the gathered information.
"Good work."
Lambert hung up the phone.
He soon went to his father Conrad's room.
They didn’t usually stay together, but today was the day of Earl Karen's funeral.
"Father, the people below have found something unusual—"
Lambert explained the situation.
"Son, tell me your thoughts."
Lambert said: "There are three possibilities. The first is that this type of jade is not ordinary. Lin Tian and his master’s rapid improvement in strength may be related to it."
"The second possibility is that they have a batch of such jade and want to drive up the price to make a big profit."
"The third possibility is that this jade might have significant Feng Shui uses."
Conrad nodded in satisfaction: "You’ve considered it thoroughly. What’s your plan?"
Lambert said: "We will first secretly acquire some similar jade, then spread the news to hype it up."
"If people believe this jade can be used for cultivation, it might sell for even a million euros each."
"Raising the price will make it harder for Xu Yongjun to purchase, and we can also make a substantial profit."
Conrad nodded slightly: "First check if they have secretly stockpiled similar jade."
"Also, don't let anyone know that we are the buyers."
Lambert nodded.
"Father, Xu Yongjun is heading to the airport."
Conrad frowned: "Do you want to detain him? If we take economic action, Master Lin can’t say anything."
"This is a market behavior. If he uses force, it’s breaking the rules. If we use force, it’s us breaking the rules."
Lambert coughed lightly: "Father, I didn’t mean that."
Between powerful forces, rules often need to be followed because the consequences are unbearable for both sides.
"You go ahead and get busy."
Conrad waved his hand.
Xu Yongjun arrived at the airport and breathed a sigh of relief.
Someone suddenly raising the price so much felt abnormal to him, making the journey over nerve-wracking.
"Ding."
Xu Yongjun dialed Lin Tian’s number.
"Lin Tian, I found another piece of the Feng Shui jade you wanted. It originally could have been bought for 200,000 euros, but someone intervened, and I ended up paying 600,000 euros."
Xu Yongjun complained deliberately.
Lin Tian's eyes narrowed.
A piece of spiritual jade worth 200,000 euros costing 600,000 euros? Clearly, some force was eyeing Xu Yongjun.
"It’s probably the Tudor family or the Bruck family causing trouble."
"600,000 euros it is then. We don't need many of these, so it won’t cost too much."
Lin Tian said indifferently.
"Alright, as long as you know I spent 600,000 euros. You’ll reimburse me for this, right? Haha."
Xu Yongjun laughed.
He said this on purpose.
His call with Lin Tian might be eavesdropped on.
——Even though Lin Tian’s hacking skills are extremely advanced, he can’t always ensure that his calls aren’t tapped.
This was an international call made on the spot by Xu Yongjun.
"Uncle, don’t worry, you won’t lose out."
Lin Tian laughed, "Uncle, you’re at the airport? I can hear the announcements in the background."
"Yes, my flight is in two hours."
After hanging up, Lin Tian quickly opened his computer.
He first checked if anyone had eavesdropped.
And indeed, someone had!
It was the Tudor family.
A force like the Tudor family would certainly have top-notch cyber experts.
"Hmph."
Lin Tian snorted.
Instead of dealing with it immediately, he continued to investigate, quickly uncovering Harry and others involved.
"The Tudor family."
Lin Tian muttered.
"These powerful families are indeed no pushovers. This is just the second piece, and they’ve already noticed something unusual."
"But with the Tudor family’s involvement in the search, it’s not entirely a bad thing."
Lin Tian could foresee the price of similar jade skyrocketing, meaning he’d have to spend more time finding spiritual jade.
But this way, more spiritual jade would be found.
Even if it costs a billion dollars per piece, it’s worth it to improve Luo Bingning’s cultivation and cure her illness.
Early on, Luo Bingning’s low cultivation would mean slow absorption of spiritual jade, but the speed would increase later on.
"Ding."
Ten minutes later, Lin Tian called Lambert.
"Lin Tian!"
Lambert looked at his phone, frowning.
Lin Tian’s number wasn’t a secret, and Lambert had saved it, thinking it might be useful in the future.
He didn’t expect Lin Tian to call him first.
"This guy calling now can’t be good."
Lambert frowned but answered the call.
"Karen is being buried today. Lin Tian, are you calling to provoke the Tudor family?"
Lambert said coldly.
Lin Tian said calmly: "Master Lambert, it’s an honor that you’ve saved my number."
"Your Tudor family eavesdropped on my conversation with my uncle. This involves commercial secrets. The eavesdropping fee is ten billion dollars. You need to pay up."
Veins bulged on Lambert's forehead.
"Lin Tian, why don’t you just rob us!"
Lin Tian said calmly: "Since you say that, I’ll come with my master and rob you directly."
"By then, it won’t just be ten billion dollars."
