Chapter One Hundred and Seventy-Fourth: The Eyes of Heaven
Suburban. Studio!
Zhou Shen was stunned when he heard the conversation between Ye Fan and Butler Feng on the surveillance camera.
Gambling on stones?
Jade rough stone?
How could Butler Feng and Ye Fan talk about raw jade stones? Does this guy like to gamble on stones?
However, the Ye family's housekeeper's income is not low, and it is actually normal to have this hobby.
But Zhou Shen has never heard of Butler Feng having such a hobby in all his years in the Ye family!
Zhou Shen immediately realized a question, could this matter have something to do with Ye Fan?
Even if it has nothing to do with him, then he should investigate carefully, just in case Ye Fan plans to make money by gambling on stones or something like that...
This guy is a reborn person after all. If he is given a chance, he might be able to make a comeback. Then wouldn't he be in trouble?
Also, what if Ye Fan has any skills or something, I don’t know him very well!
Zhou Shen is a person who plans ahead and doesn't like too many things that are out of his control.
In view of this, he immediately turned to Zhang Sanchuan and said: "Find out all the call records between Ye Fan and Butler Feng, especially about the stone gambling, let me take a look!"
"Boss, you are also interested in this stone gambling thing. This thing requires a lot of experience!"
"No, I'm just simply interested!"
Soon, Zhang Sanchuan found the records of the investigation of jadeite stones owned by the housekeeper.
Zhou Shen took this information and looked at it carefully, and found that there was indeed something fishy about it.
The housekeeper started paying attention to this stone gambling matter more than ten days ago, and he has been investigating a person named Li Baocai.
This Li Baocai's identity is not simple. He is also a character who is not inferior to Ye Longcheng, a self-made jewelry businessman.
He is coming to Dragon City soon to hold a stone gambling event. Anyone can sign up to participate. The price of each piece of raw jadeite is different.
The lowest is 20,000, and the highest is around 2 million.
At such a price, it is more than enough to buy a few good pieces of ice.
But it is mentioned above that many rough stones come from Southeast Asia, and there are many jadeite rough mines there, so the quality is absolutely no problem.
Any jadeite that is mined can be sold for hundreds or tens of millions at the very least, and it is not impossible to even sell jadeite that is worth hundreds of millions.
Zhou Shen rubbed his chin. The butler of the Ye family was quite old. He probably didn't like this kind of gambling investment.
Secondly, he has never had such a hobby before, so he probably doesn’t want to gamble on stones!
Now an old man in his fifties or sixties suddenly became interested in gambling on stones, and also set his target on Li Baocai?
Needless to say, it was Ye Fan who asked the housekeeper to investigate this matter.
Since Ye Fan is a reborn guy, he must know some secret, and it is definitely related to this gambling stone!
In this case, of course I have to join in the fun.
"Check this matter carefully for me. As for stone gambling, everyone should participate in this kind of activity. Just think of it as relaxing!"
Hearing this, Zhang Sanchuan and Zhao Chong looked at each other, feeling a little strange.
It seemed that Zhou Shen was not interested in the stone gambling thing at first, but why did he suddenly change his mind?
Could it be that the reason lies with the housekeeper?
"I heard that the boss was Ye Longcheng's son before, but later it was discovered that Ye Fan was his biological son..."
"Are you talking about the incident when the boss was kicked out by Ye Longcheng?"
"Do you think the boss wants revenge?"
"Who knows, but if the boss wants to take action against the Ye family, then we have to help!"
"Yes, I have a way..."
The two restless guys started chattering again, but Zhou Shen was completely unaware. He was already on his way home now.
…
Zi Yu Lan Ting.
Zhou Shen enjoys the atmosphere of this small home very much. There is no need for a luxurious villa or any splendid decorations. A decent house is enough.
Zhou Yueling prepared four dishes and one soup as usual. Zhou Shen walked around the house, but found that Zhou Hai was not there.
"Mom, where is my uncle?"
Zhou Yueling said with a smile: "Your uncle went out with friends today and said he would be back later in the evening. Let us eat first!"
"Mom, just the two of us don't need four dishes and one soup, right?"
"Mom doesn't have any other hobbies. She just likes cooking. Try it. Today's dish is not easy!"
"Okay, please slow down!"
After finishing dinner, Zhou Shen returned to his room, turned on his computer, and browsed information on the dark web for a while. Then he had an idea and began to search for information about jadeite rough.
Jade rough stone, I still don’t fully understand this thing.
Then he opened his status bar to see if there was anything he could use.
Host: Zhou Shen
Identity: The fake prince(?) of a wealthy family and the soul piercer
Faction: Villain
Physical fitness: 85 (health level, average person's peak value is 100, comprehensive assessment - good)
Combat power: 95 (skill bonus 70)

Status: Encountering the son of luck - Ye Fan (level:?, ability:?, luck value:???)
During the encounter, you will be suppressed by luck, and experience gained will be reduced by 50% (the effect lasts for two hours)
Zhou Shen looked at the virtual status bar in front of him attentively. He only had a villain value of more than one million and less than two million, and he could only open a silver treasure chest at most.
The only thing that works on my body now is itching powder.
But relying on this to suppress Ye Fan is impossible.
The luck value of 60 is of no use at all, so we can only take risks and open a box to try our luck!
Even if you can get props to suppress Ye Fan's luck, it would be good.
"System, fill me up with lucky charms. Use them all. I want a gold treasure chest!"
"Ding! Please confirm the person to use the lucky charm!"
"Zhou Shen!"
"Ding! Confirmation completed, the lucky charm has taken effect! The gold treasure chest has been placed in the backpack, and the villain value is -1000000!"
"Open!"
As a burst of golden light lit up, Zhou Shen skipped the unboxing animation.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Sky Eye Telepathic Talisman × 3 and the Mysterious Scroll × 1!"
A clairvoyance talisman?
It seems that the bug stuck is quite good. With the blessing of lucky charms, I finally got what I wanted!
But what is this mysterious scroll?
"System, explain these two things!"
"Ding! The effect of the celestial eye talisman: allows the host to have the blessing of the celestial eye within 3 hours. The specific effects are perspective, true eye, x-ray attachment, night vision and thermal imaging effects!"
Holy shit, this thing is really an artifact. With this, it’s not a dream to see through jadeite!
"What about this mysterious scroll?"
"Ding! The effect of the mysterious scroll: you can get information about the Son of Luck, and the content changes with the host's current progress!"
They are all good things, and the 10 million villains are worth spending!
