"Yang Zi, what are you going to do with this stone?" Lu Liang asked.
"Let's take it back. The shop is in urgent need of raw stones now," Guo Xu Yang said.
"Alright then. Master, please pack it for us and send it to the entrance."
Guo Xu Yang looked at Jielina and said, "Why don't you buy one too?"
"Okay. Please pick one for me," Jielina said.
"Brother Liang, please wait here for a moment. I'll take Jielina inside to pick out another stone."
"Sure. You two go ahead."
Guo Xu Yang led Jielina to a street stall and pointed at a stone weighing five or six kilograms. "Boss, how much for this stone?"
"Two hundred thousand."
"Eighty thousand. I'll take it."
"Twelve thousand at the lowest. No more bargaining. This is from Moxi Sha, and it usually yields high-ice imperial green jade."
"Jielina, pay up," Guo Xu Yang said, picking up the stone.
Jielina looked at Guo Xu Yang and shrugged.
Ever since she was rescued from the Myanmar shop, her bag had been empty, and she couldn't produce any money.
Guo Xu Yang took out his phone and transferred the money to the boss.
He had forgotten the identity of this beautiful lady and hadn't paid her back yet since returning from Myanmar.
"Let's go," Guo Xu Yang said, turning back towards Lu Liang.
"Brother Liang, how should we get an identity for Jielina?"
"We'll discuss that when we get back. Do you want to look around some more?"
"No more looking. Let's go back. I'm eager to go home."
The three of them, along with the stone-cutting master, pushed the raw stone out.
They hired a truck to deliver it directly to the hotel.
"Brother Liang, Jielina can't go anywhere without an identity here. You have to help with this."
"No problem, I'll make a call." Lu Liang took out his phone and dialed.
"Brother, I have a special situation here. Please help me get an ID card. I'll send you the photo and information later. Okay, thank you! I'll treat you to a meal another day."
He hung up and said, "It's done. I just need to take a photo of Jielina with my phone and send it over."
"Please wait a moment. Jielina, come to my room."
Guo Xu Yang, upon hearing that a photo was needed, called Jielina to his room.
"Jielina, what are your plans for the future?" Guo Xu Yang asked after they entered the room.
"Master, I told you. I don't want to be a killer anymore. I want to find a beautiful place and be with someone I love."
"How do you like my country?"
"It's a beautiful country. I've been to this country before. The people here are very warm, and the social environment is very good. Of course, I'd be happy to live here."
"Given your sensitive identity, I'd like to make some adjustments. Are you willing?"
"Yes, Master. It would be best if you could make Emma disappear from this world. I wish to have a new life."
"Since you agree, I will change your appearance. Please take off your clothes and lie down on the bed."
"Okay, Master."
After Jielina took off her clothes and lay down on the bed, Guo Xu Yang used his life ability to reshape her. He made her facial features more exquisite, changed her eye color to black, her hair to black, and her skin to yellow, completely transforming Jielina into a native.
"Alright, stand up. Put on your clothes and go to the bathroom to take a look. I hope you're satisfied."
Jielina, still unclothed, walked directly into the bathroom.
"Omega. How did you do that, Master? It's simply magical. This way, the organization won't find me."
"Mmm. As long as you're satisfied. Let's go out."
When the two walked up to Lu Liang, he was bewildered.
"Who is this? Where is Jielina?"
"Brother Liang, it's me." Jielina's voice made Lu Liang jump.
"Y-you, how did you become like this?"
"I'm planning to leave the organization. Yang Zi helped me make a few changes."
Lu Liang stared at them, dumbfounded, finding it incredible. It was like a magic trick of turning a person into someone else.
"Yang Zi, how did you manage that?"
"Just a trick of the eye, nothing worth mentioning. Brother Liang, please send Jielina's photo to your friend. It's best to change her name too," Guo Xu Yang said.
"What name should she have?" Lu Liang asked. "How about taking your surname? Guo Jing, perhaps?"
"That's not appropriate. Jielina, what name do you want to use?" Guo Xu Yang asked.
"I don't know what name would be good. Could you pick one for me?" Jielina said.
"How about Guo Yiyang, as in 'yáng yáng dé yì' (proud and pleased)?" Guo Xu Yang said after thinking for a while.
"I think Guo Yiyang is better, sharing a character with you. 'Yáng yáng dé yì' isn't suitable for a girl, is it? Besides, Yiyang sounds quite compatible with your name," Lu Liang said.
"What do you think?"
"Jielina, which character do you prefer?" Guo Xu Yang asked.
"Brother Liang is right. I'll share a character with you. I feel we have a special connection," Jielina said.
"Alright then. Let's use this character. Brother Liang, please send the name and photo to your friend."
"Mmm. Yang Zi, where is your home? Perhaps I should register her household registration at your place. That would be more realistic."
"East Mountain Province, Mai City, Liu Yuan County, North Village Three. My father is Guo Yiyu, and my mother is Wu Shangqing."
"Okay. I got it. Just wait. You'll have it done." Lu Liang said, dialing another number.
"Brother, I'm sending the name, photo, and address. Please hurry. Tomorrow? Okay. I'll wait for your news. Alright, goodbye!"
"Alright, it's done," Lu Liang said, hanging up.
"We'll have to wait another day to get the documents tomorrow."
"Then we'll stay here for another day. Come on, let's go find two more stones," Guo Xu Yang said.
So, the three of them walked out of the hotel again.
While the three were staying in Ruili, all the raw stones in the provincial capital had been cut. If the raw stones from the public auction weren't transported back, there would be no more jade to use.
"Brother Guo, when will you be back? All the raw stones at our artificial lake have been cut. There are none left. Mmm. Okay. I'll wait for your news."
Cheng Xiuping's call came through while the three of them were looking at materials in another raw stone trading market.
"Director Cheng is urging us, saying all the raw stones in the provincial capital have been cut. There are no raw stones left at home. We're just waiting for the ones from the public auction." Guo Xu Yang said after hanging up the phone.
"The goods from the public auction won't be shipped until it's all over. Today is the last day, isn't it? If we wait for the goods from the public auction to be transported to the provincial capital, it will take at least a week. Why don't we buy more here and send it back for emergencies?" Lu Liang suggested.
"That sounds good. Let's go and take a look inside," Guo Xu Yang said, leading the way into the market.
