As soon as Si Chen finished speaking, Lev laughed and nodded:

"Yes, the boss's guess is correct."

When they escaped from the mining area, they took away some rough diamonds to save their lives.

Their former boss dared to swallow up their subsidies and drive them to the mining areas to do free hard labor, so they were fully prepared for the aftermath.

These people have long been accused of unwarranted charges, and they are all "criminal" soldiers.

Even if he escapes now, he still has no identity as a normal person.

Therefore, in order to survive well, they need a new identity.

Lev and others will join Si Chen's mercenary company. In order to avoid future troubles, Si Chen will naturally give them a normal identity.

This is enough for Yan Lixia to take action.

Yan Lixia has enough background, power and money to handle such a small matter.

So, the crux of the matter is how those who are unwilling to join the Sichen Mercenary Company can obtain new identities.

Lev thought of exchanging rough stones.

Si Chen asked the question sharply:

"The chips in your hands are diamonds. I guess they are all unpolished rough stones, right?"

Lev nodded.

Si Chen continued: "Indeed, rough diamonds sound very attractive."

"However, there are also many uncontrollable factors."

“Whether a diamond is valuable depends on its size, fire, clarity, and cutting technique.”

"How can I tell if a rough diamond is worth anything?"

"What if the impurities are serious?"

Seeing that Si Chen had asked the core of the question, Lev was not in a hurry and replied:

"You can just call in the experts. I have one right here. Take a look at its size."

While he was talking, Lev took out a crumpled ball of paper wrapped in newspaper from the inner pocket of his coat. It was as big as a child's fist!

Si Chen's eyes suddenly lit up!

But then, Lev's hands, which were covered in black stains, carefully opened the newspaper, and the contents wrapped inside came into view -

An irregularly shaped rough stone the size of a walnut, like a super large rock sugar crystal.

Because it has not been cut and polished, the transparency is not very good and the shape is also strange.

but!

This does not prevent it from cutting out a rare and huge diamond!

If there are impurities in it, it’s still worth a lot of money!

Lev raised the rough stone, pointed it at Si Chen at a slightly more transparent angle, and said:

"Boss, if you look inside from this angle, you can clearly see that there are no impurities."

Although there are no impurities visible to the naked eye, the clarity of a diamond can be assessed, but it has never been the standard visible to the naked eye. www.bǐqυgetν.℃ǒm

However, this was enough to make Si Chen's heart flutter.

Who made this thing big enough?

Unexpectedly, Yan Lixia, who had been listening in the back, came out and handed Si Chen a magnifying glass!

Si Chen:...My wife!

Sure enough, women have no resistance to diamonds.

Seeing the burning expectation in his wife's eyes, Si Chen swallowed a sip of saliva, twitched the corner of his mouth, took the magnifying glass, and looked at the rough stone.

With the help of a magnifying glass, Si Chen could really see the impurities from this small angle, but they were not serious.

Not counting other areas, just this piece of diamond cut out is worth a lot of money.

If other areas are perfect, you can make a lot of money!

This is a big gamble!

Si Chen silently put away the magnifying glass, quite sincerely:

"This rough stone is not bad, I am willing to exchange it."

When Lev heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief!

He even wiped the fine beads of sweat on his forehead with his dirty sleeves.

"There are 122 people in total who are willing to exchange the rough stones in their hands with you."

Si Chen was stunned when he heard this.

What does it mean?

Could it be that this piece of rough stone was exchanged for these people’s new identities?

etc!

What he means is that everyone has rough stones in their hands, and everyone will give one or a few stones in exchange for a new identity?

Damn it!

I was in a big trough!

122 people, how many rough diamonds will we get?

Si Chen made a quick decision:

"Change! Let them all come!"

…

Lev is a man with great mobility, and within half an hour, he and the truck driver from Sichen Company brought all the people over in one truck.

Those people were all skinny, with sallow complexions and skinny muscles. It looked like they were caused by long-term malnutrition.

There are many people with injuries on their faces, and there are even more people with injuries on the corners of their mouths and eyes.

Almost everyone has rotten mouth corners due to malnutrition, and the yellow-brown scabs stacked one on top are very shocking to look at.

All of their hands were covered in black stains, their fingers were chapped, and new injuries were superimposed on old ones.

They were half-clothed, and the exposed areas on their arms or legs were covered in scars.

Their tattered and thin clothes made them look shabby and extremely pitiful and helpless.

Yan Lixia was kind-hearted and moved all her snacks, fruits, and nuts out in a box, and asked them to eat first.

A group of young people with tattered clothes and dull eyes, their eyes lit up the moment they saw the food, and they rushed towards it.

Si Chen held his wife in his arms and quickly took her away from them to prevent them from being accidentally injured.

It is too dangerous for hundreds of hungry people to grab food like crazy.

That small box of snacks is simply not enough!

The people who came up from behind saw that there was nothing to eat, so they started to snatch the food from the people next to them.

Soon, there was a scuffle and the situation got out of control.

Lev immediately stopped him:

"Be sensible! The first priority is to get a new identity!"

However, to no avail, we continue to rob when we should.

Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Si Chen said:

"Li Xia, go get the food prepared for me and give it to them."

"No, that's for you to eat on the way. You still have 12 days to go!" Yan Lixia, a mad husband-guarding man, came online.

"It's okay. I'm not hungry. Go get it."

Si Chen rubbed the top of Yan Lixia's hair, and his little wife reluctantly went to get the food.

The food prepared for Si Chen included canned beef, canned fish, and a bottle of leeks pickled by Mrs. Si herself.

The staple food is a bag of steamed buns and some big ribs.

Mrs. Si and Yan Lixia were afraid that Si Chen would be hungry and that something unexpected might happen on the road, so they prepared an extraordinary amount.

After Yan Lixia and others brought the three large boxes of food from Si Chen's trunk, the scene suddenly became quiet.

"Everyone, line up for food."

Yan Lixia gave orders with a pretty face.

The chaotic crowd immediately fell silent.
