Chapter 325: The Road Meets a Landslide
After returning to the hotel, Jiang Ping asked the hotel waiter to help him move the rough stones and wool he bought into the rented safe.
Wu Hanqing was also quite surprised to see this scene, and couldn't help but say to Jiang Ping: "Xiao Jiang, today's harvest is not small!"
"Yes, thanks to Mr. Xu who took me to a sales meeting, there are indeed a lot of good things. Jiang Ping smiled and said to Wu Hanqing: "Are you free tomorrow? Let's go around the town again and see if we can find good things?"
Wu Hanqing couldn't wait to gamble with Jiang Ping, and he could ask his opinion, so he immediately nodded when he heard the words: "Okay, I can't ask for it!"
The next day, Jiang Ping and Wu Hanqing went to the original sales meeting in the town for a long time. While picking a few rough stones for himself, he also helped Wu Hanqing pick two.
Jiang Ping had already decided that he would not solve the stone in public again, but Wu Hanqing solved the two rough stones on the spot. One is a glutinous yang green material, and the other is a tender green material at the bottom of the water, although it is not a high-quality wool material, but it is also good.
According to Wu Hanqing's estimate, these two pieces of wool can be worth at least 700,000 or 800,000 yuan, which also makes him smile all the way. Although Wu Hanqing is very keen on gambling stones, his luck has always been bad. In the past few years, every time I can gamble on stones, it is good not to lose money.
And this time with Jiang Ping, Wu Hanqing not only did not lose money, but also made a lot of money, making up for the deficit in the previous years, of course, which made him very happy.
"Xiao Jiang, thanks to you this time, otherwise I would have lost a mess again!" On the way back to the hotel, Wu Hanqing said to Jiang Ping with a smile: "What are your plans for tomorrow?
Jiang Ping shook his head at Wu Hanqing and said, "Don't go shopping, I plan to leave for Su City tomorrow." ”
Wu Hanqing said to Jiang Ping in surprise: "There are still a few days left for the exhibition." It's hard to come. Why are you in a hurry to go back?"
Jiang Ping explained to Wu Hanqing with a smile: "The decoration company called me yesterday. My store has been renovated, and I want to go back and inspect it. And I also bought a lot of rough stones, and if there are more, I can't fit them in the car, so I don't feel at ease when I ask someone else to transport them, so I just go back early. ”
Jiang Ping's reasons were true, but in fact, there was one most important reason he didn't say, and that was because he had exhausted the aura in those ancient coins. Without the support of Reiki, snobbery cannot function. There was no point in Jiang Ping staying.
Hearing Jiang Ping say this, Wu Hanqing also nodded lightly and said, "That's right, it's still important to get down to business, or I'll go with you tomorrow?"
Jiang Ping could see that Wu Hanqing still wanted to stay and continue to try his luck, and when he heard this, he immediately shook his head and said, "No need, I remember all the way, just go back by yourself." Boss Wu, it's rare for you to come once, so let's play for a few more days. ”
Since Jiang Ping said so, Wu Hanqing was not reluctant. He smiled and nodded, "Okay, but you must pay attention to safety along the way." Be especially careful not to drive tired, even if you arrive home two days late, don't take any risks. ”
Jiang Ping nodded and said, "I know, you can rest assured." ”
Lin Xiaonan went to the exhibition with Jiang Ping today, and also bought two rough stones with his own eyesight, but they were all gambled. Although the price of these two rough stones was not expensive, only a few thousand yuan in total, it also made her sullen and didn't talk much along the way.
Now that he heard that Jiang Ping planned to return to Su City tomorrow, Lin Xiaonan finally couldn't help but speak: "You go back tomorrow?" Then I'll go with you, I also want to go back to Su City as soon as possible." ”
Jiang Ping didn't think much about it, and immediately nodded and said, "Okay, let's leave at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, how about we meet at the door of the hotel?"
"No problem!" Lin Xiaonan nodded simply, even if the matter was settled.
At this time, there were a lot of people at the fair, although it was not a crowd, but it was also very lively. Jiang Ping, who was discussing the itinerary with Lin Xiaonan, didn't notice that just a few steps away, a young man was eavesdropping on their conversation.
After knowing the time and place of Jiang Ping's departure, a smug smile appeared on the man's face, and then he quickly disappeared into the crowd.
If Jiang Ping noticed this young man, he would definitely recognize him as one of Cai Xiangsheng's bodyguards, the guy named Shrimp Ball. Yesterday, Cai Xiangsheng and his bodyguards secretly planned a conspiracy against Jiang Ping, and today Shrimp Ball has started to act. Even he didn't expect that he had only followed Jiang Ping for one day, and he would have such a big gain.
At present, Shrimp Ball is in a hurry to go back to report the matter to Cai Xiangsheng, and at the same time make a specific plan with his colleagues. Only by making a qiē seamless can we ensure that it will not drag down Cai Xiangsheng and Cai Kee Jewelry afterwards.
Jiang Ping had no idea that a terrifying conspiracy was slowly approaching him. He slept well that night and woke up the next morning refreshed, feeling ready for the long run.
At 7:50, Jiang Ping drove and stopped in front of the hotel. He had only waited for two minutes, and Lin Xiaonan had arrived. The two of them first carried all the harvest of the last two days into the car from the hotel's safe, and then drove out of the town.
The town is located in the middle of nowhere, and the condition of the road is also very poor. The roads are rugged and narrow, making it difficult for even a car to drive on the road. If there is a car coming in front of you, you have to be more careful, otherwise it will be easy to get off the road. And both sides of the road are often muddy mud, and cars can easily get stuck in it, so trouble hits.
At this time, Jiang Ping couldn't help but feel glad that he chose Saab's 9X. The quality of this car is really good, although it looks quite ordinary from the outside, but the horsepower is strong and the handling is also very good. Even if there are two people in the car and hundreds of kilograms of rough stones are loaded, there is no problem driving on this kind of road, and it is completely easy.
However, Jiang Ping felt that he was at ease, but Lin Xiaonan next to him was terrified. In particular, some sections of the road are on the mountain, and there are cliffs of dozens of meters outside the road. Especially when there is a car coming on, Jiang Ping's 9X is only a few tens of centimeters away from the edge of the cliff. If you are not careful, you will fall into the cliff and end up with a car wrecked and killed.
So whenever a car drove over on the opposite side, Lin Xiaonan was very nervous. Both hands gripped the handle tightly, so hard that the knuckles turned white.
Looking at Lin Xiaonan's scared look, Jiang Ping couldn't help but smile and comfort her: "Don't be nervous, believe in my driving skills, it's okay ......"
Before Jiang Ping finished speaking, 9X came to a sharp turn. He calmly slammed on the brakes and drove steadily around the sharp corner.
However, just as 9X was coming out of the corner, a large tree suddenly rolled down the hillside, blocking the road completely. Jiang Ping reacted very quickly and immediately stepped on the brakes. The 9X did live up to his expectations, reacting very quickly and coming to a halt very quickly. At this time, the front of the car was only a dozen centimeters away from the big tree.
"Unlucky!" Jiang Ping muttered quietly, and then hung up the reverse gear and prepared to retreat.
Since a tree has fallen from the hillside, it means that there is a possibility of a landslide. So Jiang Ping also wanted to leave this dangerous area as much as possible, in case he was buried alive, it would be bad.
Then 9X had just fallen back less than twenty meters, and a large pile of rocks and dirt fell, blocking Jiang Ping's retreat. Now the two of them are in a dilemma, and they are completely blocked here.
"What should I do now?" Lin Xiaonan looked at the obstacles in front and behind the car, and said to Jiang Ping with a worried brow: "It seems that we can only wait for others to save us!"
Compared with Lin Xiaonan, who was just a little anxious, Jiang Ping was much more nervous. He quietly held the short knife in his hand, which had been placed under the seat, and watched the situation around him vigilantly.
It was too much of a coincidence that a tree suddenly fell in front of the car, followed by a pile of rocks and dirt behind it, which just blocked the car in the middle and couldn't advance or retreat. Maybe ordinary people don't feel anything yet, but for Jiang Ping, who has experienced countless dangers in his previous life, this is already a very dangerous signal.
Seeing that Jiang Ping actually took out the knife, Lin Xiaonan was also a little surprised, and couldn't help but ask in a whisper, "What's wrong?"
"Don't be nervous about whatever happens. Jiang Ping reminded Lin Xiaonan in a deep voice: "Look at my eyes and act, don't be impulsive no matter what, you know?"
Although Lin Xiaonan didn't understand why Jiang Ping said this, it was the first time he saw him so strict, and he couldn't help nodding his head to indicate that he knew.
At this moment, a man climbed over the big tree across the road and slowly walked towards 9X.
Lin Xiaonan couldn't help but look happy when he saw this, and said happily to Jiang Ping: "Someone, we are saved!"
However, Jiang Ping was not as happy as Lin Xiaonan, but said to her in a deep voice: "You stay in the car, lock the door, don't come out, you know?"
Jiang Ping's tone made Lin Xiaonan understand the situation, and quickly nodded lightly: "Got it!"
After telling Lin Xiaonan, Jiang Ping hid the short knife on his body, and then left the car, pretending to be ecstatic and waving at the visitor.
It's not that Jiang Ping is overly careful, it's that what is happening right now is too strange. Originally, there were not many vehicles on this road, but it was too coincidental that people came by just after the road was blocked. What's more, even if a driver really encounters a landslide, he must stay away from a safe distance and call the police. Where would venture over a large tree to come and check, as if the realization already knew that someone was trapped.
In fact, Jiang Ping did not guess wrong, the one who climbed over the tree was none other than Cai Xiangsheng's bodyguard Shrimp Ball. Seeing that Jiang Ping actually waved his hand to ask for help, this guy's face also showed a sinister smile.
In fact, whether it is the big tree in front or the dirt and stones in the back, it is the masterpiece of Shrimp Ball and his colleagues. And the purpose of them doing this was to trap Jiang Ping and Lin Xiaonan so that they could take the next step. (To be continued......)
