The Playboy Bodyguard of the Beautiful CEO

Chapter 758 660, Columbia Trading Center

At the moment, Yang Tian and David left the Washington Police Department, got into a Ford sedan, and headed towards the Columbia Trading Center outside the suburbs.

Halfway there, Yang Tian made a phone call.

The call was to the Chen Family's mansion in Washington.

As soon as the call connected, Wu Yue's crisp voice sounded: "Hello, who are you looking for?"

"It's me, Yang Tian..."

Yang Tian said.

"Yang Tian? Where are you now? What did you discover? Why don't you want us to follow you?"

Wu Yue started speaking non-stop.

"We are now going to the Columbia Trading Center on the outskirts of Washington," Yang Tian said. "We've analyzed the components of the red vial and it might have come from the Columbia Trading Center, so we're going to check it out. You guys just be careful."

After speaking, Yang Tian wanted to hang up the call.

But Wu Yue anxiously said, "Yang Tian, the Chen Family's mansion here is very safe. Just let Yingying and I go take a look! We're just idle here anyway."

"No way!"

Yang Tian shook his head.

"You have to let us go even if it's not allowed!"

Wu Yue's attitude was also very firm, and she hung up the phone with a snap.

Yang Tian frowned, but he knew Wu Yue's personality very well; she was very stubborn, and once she decided on something, she would not give up until she achieved it.

When the car arrived at the Columbia Trading Center on the outskirts, it had already been two hours. Although Washington is big, at a normal speed, it takes only about an hour to get there. The traffic jam along the way made arriving in two hours quite fortunate.

"Yang, as long as we find the source of the radium-like material, we'll be credited. Then I'll be reinstated, and you too will receive a medal personally awarded by the Washington Police Department!"

David said excitedly.

"Let's go in and have a look first."

Yang Tian said calmly.

At the moment, he headed towards the hall of the Columbia Trading Center.

It was very lively here.

Everywhere were stalls, gathering mineral owners from all over Washington state. Some were setting up stalls, trading their minerals and ores, and some were here to buy stones and minerals. The entire hall had an area as large as three football fields.

Here, there were raw stones, as well as some stone carvings, ores, and minerals.

"Yang, there are so many stones and stalls here. How can we find the radium-like material?"

David said with some headache.

Yang Tian didn't say anything but walked forward.

At these stalls, there were pure raw stones for sale, and some engaged in stone gambling cuttings.

As Yang Tian walked down the aisle, each time he passed a stall, he would operate his Divine Sense and open his X-ray Vision to investigate the raw stones and ores on the stalls. Inside, Yang Tian would sometimes discover gemstones, and sometimes minerals, but he found no sign of any radium-like material.

After wandering for a while, Yang Tian stopped and said to David, "Let's find a place to rest."

"Not continuing to search for the radium-like material?"

David asked in confusion.

"Let's talk later..."

Just as Yang Tian was speaking halfway, a voice suddenly sounded beside him, "Are you looking for radium-like material?"

Yang Tian frowned and turned around. Not far away, there was a stall, and standing at the stall was a man. The man was holding a type of grinding saw in his hand, obviously indicating that he was the Grinding Master of the stall.

However, this man was not Caucasian but an Asian merchant.

"Do you also know radium-like material?"

David looked cautiously at this man.

"Oh." The man said calmly, "Not just you, recently quite a few people have come here looking for the so-called radium-like material. I've always found it rather puzzling."

"Recently, quite a few people have been coming here looking for radium-like material?"

David became even more wary.

"That's right!" The man nodded, then said: "However, I advise you to give up. There is no radium-like material here, but if you want to search for other gems, you can come here to gamble on stones."

Yang Tian glanced at the stall in front of the man, where several raw stones were placed, some cut halfway.

Seeing this, Yang Tian operated his Divine Sense and probed inside these raw stones.

But soon, a trace of sharp light flashed in his eyes.

Because inside one of the raw stones, Yang Tian clearly sensed a trace of the light emitted by the radium-like material.

This trace of light was very faint, but Yang Tian was very sure that there was radium-like material inside the raw stone.

"Yang, let's go somewhere else to have a look."

David didn't want to linger much longer after hearing from the man that there was no radium-like material here.

"No rush, let's play the Milanese stone gambling." Yang Tian said and then patted a piece of raw stone in front of him, saying, "I want to open this raw stone, cut it from start to finish."

"Oh?"

The man seriously scrutinized Yang Tian.

But for some reason, the light in the man's eyes became very puzzled, and he suddenly said seriously, "Sir, are you from Huaxia? How many days have you been here? Are you here for tourism?"

Yang Tian frowned slightly.

His intuition told him that there was something off with this man.

But for the moment, Yang Tian didn't know much, and he said calmly, "We are here for tourism."

"Oh." The man nodded, but when he lowered his head, a flash of surprise passed through his eyes, though he didn't show much of an anomaly. Instead, he picked up the cutting blade and said, "Sir, if you want a full cut, the price will be higher, 200 US Dollars!"

"Hmm, I'll pay later. Just start cutting." Yang Tian said calmly.

"Open it!"

The man began cutting, and soon, with a series of loud cutting sounds, a raw stone as large as a football was cut in half. At this moment, surprisingly, a blood-red light was emitted from the center of the stone.

"What's going on?"

The man's face changed as he looked towards the center of the stone, his expression quickly altered: "This... this..."

"This is radium-like material!"

David recognized it immediately because he had seen Diana extract the radium-like material's components in the lab.

"I wonder if this is radium-like material?"

Yang Tian asked indifferently.

Then, he took out from the center of the raw stone, a piece of mineral no larger than a fingernail.

Meanwhile, the man's face changed, and he quickly said, "Sir, I'm not sure what this mineral is, but since you gambled and got it, we are willing to pay a lot for it. Such a mineral is worth at least 5 million US dollars!"

"5 million US dollars?"

Hearing this, David gasped.
