Chapter 234 -234: Highway Robbery
I don’t know if it’s good luck or bad luck. During the following period, Zhong Niangyao did not find any raw stones that caught her eye.
For this, Zhong Niangyao wasn’t too concerned. For her, obtaining such a large piece of Violet Jade today was an unexpected joy. Moreover, she maintained a good mindset, leaving everything to fate.
Seeing that it was getting late, Zhong Niangyao directly suggested, “It’s getting late. Let’s have lunch and then head back to the hotel to rest!”
“That’s fine,” Lu Yichen nodded. “Do you want to come back here in the afternoon, or go somewhere else to have fun?”
After thinking for a moment, Zhong Niangyao replied, “Let’s go somewhere else for fun! We can come back here in a couple of days. I didn’t see anything that really caught my eye today.”
Lu Yichen didn’t understand how Zhong Niangyao selected raw stones. He glanced at the piece of Violet Jade in his hand with a sigh, “Your eye for stones is really quite rare!”
“Of course, it has to be rare to catch my eye!” Zhong Niangyao shrugged her shoulders and said with a laugh, “But since we are in Myanmar, I definitely need to select the right one. This Violet Jade is pretty, but it doesn’t seem quite right for grandma and grandpa.”
The fine quality ice jade in Violet Jade, although nice, was more suitable for young girls than for elderly people like her grandparents.
Lu Yichen understood and then laughed, “I think this Violet Jade suits me quite well!”
Hearing Lu Yichen’s pointed remark, Zhong Niangyao paused for a moment, then turned to look at him, blinked, and laughed, “You’re speaking so directly, why don’t you just say you want me to give it to you as a gift!”
“Then I’ll thank you in advance,” Lu Yichen responded quickly, “I’m waiting for your peace charm.”
Such a response was completely unexpected by Zhong Niangyao, leaving her somewhat speechless, but she eventually nodded, “Alright then!”
She felt that her relationship with Lu Yichen was a bit strange, not exactly lovers, but more than friends, with a hint of ambiguity. She had no plans to find a boyfriend at the moment, and the way they got along now felt quite comfortable to her.
Given their relationship, it was reasonable for her to give Lu Yichen a peace charm.
Lu Yichen did not expect Zhong Niangyao to agree so readily.
But then he thought about it and felt it seemed quite normal. Moreover, Zhong Niangyao was not someone to be coy and wouldn’t fuss over such a small matter.
The two of them continued talking as they walked out.
Unknowingly, they wandered into a small alley.
Although it was noon, the alley was desolate and eerily quiet, almost frighteningly so.
Just as they were about to turn around and leave, several young men with messed-up, dyed hair and flashy clothes came out from a hiding spot and surrounded them.
“Yo, what do we have here, a little couple?” the leader, Huang Mao glanced up and down at Zhong Niangyao with admiration in his eyes, though his focus was mostly on the piece of Jade in Lu Yichen’s hand, “Falling in love and you choose our turf to hang out?”
“So what?” Zhong Niangyao shrugged indifferently, “We just came here, what about it?”
Upon hearing Zhong Niangyao’s words, the youths burst into laughter.

The leader, Huang Mao, became more arrogant, “Since you’ve come to our turf, naturally, you need to pay a protection fee.”
“Protection fee?”
Before Huang Mao could continue, Zhong Niangyao interjected, “What if we give you this piece of Violet Jade as the protection fee, how about that?”
Everyone was stunned by her response.
Their goal today had initially been that piece of Violet Jade. They had already had their eyes on these two back at the Gambling Stone Market. Especially since they were flaunting such a valuable Jade so openly, it was too conspicuous.
But now, the fact that she was offering the Jade to them voluntarily was beyond their belief.
They had done this many times before. Of course, they didn’t rob just anyone, usually targeting those who seemed weak and without backing. While they were greedy, they didn’t want to endanger themselves.
They had never encountered such a situation before, so they were momentarily at a loss for words.
“Ha-ha-ha, little girl, you’ve got the spirit!” Huang Mao quickly recovered and laughed loudly, “Then why don’t you hurry up and hand over the Jade to us.”
He hadn’t forgotten that this piece of Violet Jade was worth fifteen million. This was the first time he had robbed such a valuable Jade. After this job, they were sure to make a fortune.
“Just the Jade?” Zhong Niangyao raised an eyebrow, “If we give you the Jade, you will let us go, right?”
“This man can leave, but as for you,” Huang Mao looked at Zhong Niangyao with a hint of greed and lewdness in his eyes, “Sweetie, why don’t you keep us company! I—”
“Ah—”
Before he could finish, Huang Mao was sent flying with a kick. The kick was powerful, and Huang Mao flew straight into a wall before falling to the ground, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
Huang Mao felt agonizing pain in his organs and wondered if he had internal injuries but was in too much pain to know for sure.
“Big Brother!”
“Big Brother, are you okay?”
When Huang Mao’s comrades saw him get kicked away, they hurriedly gathered around him, helping him up and anxiously asking about his condition.
Huang Mao raised his head and looked at Lu Yichen with fierce eyes, “You dare hit me. Humph, I was considering letting you go. Now, you’ve chosen Heaven’s path but insist on entering hell. I’m telling you, don’t even think about leaving here alive today.”
These two were not locals, so even if something happened, no one would care. He didn’t want to cause trouble initially, but now that this man had dared hit him, he was determined to take his life.
