Chapter 419 Target: Liu Guohao
Hearing that such a tiny bit of sapphire was worth one and a half million, Liu Qiang was simply stunned.
He did not have much concept of luxury goods, and had thought that a few thousand tens of thousands or even a hundred thousand or so would be quite a lot.
But a piece of jewellery was worth more than a million, which more or less refreshed his outlook and gave rise to a hint of greed in his heart.
Liu Qiang looked at the pendant and suddenly his face sank as he pointed at Feng Pingping and said loudly, "You said this is an ancestral one from your family? How dare you lie to me?"
Just a moment ago he was fine, why was he suddenly scolding himself? The change in Liu Qiang's attitude really caught Feng Pingping off guard.
"No, I didn't, Brother Qiang, it's really something from our family!" Feng Pingping nervously defended.
"Bullshit, you take me for a fool, don't you? Your bullshit family, can you have such good things?" Liu Qiang cursed, "I said, if you dare to lie to me, I'll get you killed!"
Just then, the jewellery appraiser also interjected, "Oh young Qiang, it's funny to talk about ancestral heirlooms, this is obviously a modern piece, estimated to be less than ten years old, and judging from the inlay workmanship, this is obviously a piece of art from Europe."
With this word from the appraiser, Feng Pingping became even more nervous.
She thought to herself, "This is the end, Liu Qiang knows that she has lied to him and will definitely not let her go!
Seeing that things were falling apart, Feng Pingping immediately knelt down and cried out, "Brother Qiang I was wrong, I was really wrong, this pendant was stolen by me! It is actually"
"Okay, stop it!" Feng Pingping was about to say who the pendant belonged to when she was immediately told to stop by Liu Qiang.
Of course Liu Qiang didn't want to know whose pendant it really was, he laughed coldly and said, "Feng Pingping, you really disappoint me, I have warned you again and again, yet you still come to lie to me. As for you, get lost, I never want to see you again, I'll give you three hours to get out of Chu Jiang and get far away from here, or I'll get you killed."
Hearing Liu Qiang's words, Feng Pingping faintly froze, thinking that he would not pursue himself?
The next thing she knew, she scrambled up from the ground and ran away.
Looking at Feng Pingping's wretched escape, Liu Qiang couldn't help but snort out a laugh and cursed under his breath, "Stupid bastard!"
Liu Qiang then looked at the sapphire pendant again, his heart simply thrilled to death.
Over a million dollars, that much money was enough for him to squander for a while.
As for who the pendant belonged to, Liu Qiang didn't have the heart to know. In his mind, it was not stolen by himself anyway, it was stolen by Feng Pingping, and even if someone came looking for it in the end, it had nothing to do with himself, he could put all the blame on Feng Pingping.
Now that he had let Feng Pingping leave Chu Jiang, even if the owner of the pendant wanted to look for it, he would probably not be able to find Feng Pingping.
If he couldn't find her, he wouldn't know the whereabouts of the pendant, and in the end, it would be his own.
The more Liu Qiang thought about it, the more excited he became, he looked at the jewellery appraiser beside him, and suddenly smiled heatedly, "Mr. Xu, you are a connoisseur, should you help me think of a way to get a secret channel to get rid of this item?"
The svelte man smiled faintly, "That's certainly no problem, except that young Qiang, the commission"
Liu Qiang burst into laughter and patted the man's shoulder, "Don't worry, ten percent, how about it?"
When the gentleman heard this, he became excited and nodded his head, "Yes, yes, no problem, then I will call you and contact you."
After saying that, the man took out his phone and called out
Half an hour later, Xu Tianlin was in the middle of his sleep when he was woken up by a phone call.
He had just put in a lot of effort on the woman beside him and would be sleeping soundly, so he was suddenly woken up by someone and was in an extremely upset mood.
He picked up the phone and cursed directly, "Are you a ghost? Staying awake in the middle of the night? You're looking for death, aren't you?"
When Xu Tianlin finished speaking, there was no sound on the other end of the line.
Xu Tianlin couldn't help but be stunned and hurriedly looked at the number, and immediately his whole body was stunned.
"Mr. Zhang Zhang."
Only then did a voice come from the other end of the phone, "I hope that this is the last time that you will talk to me with such an attitude!"
"Yes, yes, yes, I understand, Mr. Zhang, I understand," Xu Tianlin was as submissive as a dog to the other party, "You're still awake at this late hour?"
The other side of the phone ignored his words and said indifferently, "I asked you to take care of Liu Guohao before, have you thought of a way?"
"I," Xu Tianlin smiled, and couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
To be honest, he had forgotten about this at all.
In fact, at the beginning, Xu Tianlin had also thought of ways to bring Liu Guohao in, and even contacted him through one or two intermediaries, but without exception, they were all rejected.
In the end, he had no choice but to put the matter aside.
But unexpectedly, the other party had approached him so quickly to ask about this matter.
"It hasn't gone too well." Xu Tianlin said with a cautious tone, "That Liu Guohao is a bit oily, I've already promised the benefits, but he"
"Then there's no way out, is there?" The person on the other end of the phone laughed.
"No, no, no, don't worry Mr. Zhang, I will definitely find a way to fix him, you're giving me a little time!"
"Since you don't have a way, then I'll give you a hand." The other end of the phone spoke, "Now I know that Liu Guohao's son has a pendant on his hand, a pendant of great value, and it is particularly coincidental that the pendant was given to his girlfriend by that Jiang Hao, but it was stolen and sent to Liu Qiang"
"Is this thing a thousand percent true?" Xu Tianlin asked.
"It's true, now Liu Guohao's son, is going around trying to find a way to get his hands on this pendant. This is an opportunity, as for how exactly to do it, I don't think I need to teach you, right?"
Xu Tianlin smiled, "I understand, I understand"
Of course, Xu Tianlin understood that the other party's meaning was to make this matter real and then use this matter to blackmail Liu Guohao into giving in!
This was no small matter, the pendant that Jiang Hao had given to his girlfriend had been stolen and ended up in Liu Qiang's hands.
If this matter reached Jiang Hao's ears, how could Jiang Hao not deal with the Liu family and his son? The pendant was stolen from Liu Qiang's family, and Liu Qiang was determined to get rid of the pendant, so he could buy it and make it a real thing.
Chapter 420 - So it was him
Soon, Liu Qiang, who was waiting anxiously in a private room far away from the hotel, received the news that someone was ready to buy the pendant.
"How much did the other party bid?" Liu Qiang asked the jewellery appraiser impatiently.
The other party smiled, "No more, no less, they gave one million eight hundred thousand, young master Qiang, you are making a fortune now!"
He had asked for one and a half million, but in the end the other party had given him one and a half million, which really made Liu Qiang feel a bit surprised, even ecstatic.
"Really? Then that's really great!" Liu Qiang said, "Then, then hurry up with the transaction, tell the other party to hurry up and pay the money over, then I'll send the stuff to him!"
The man nodded, and a phone call ensued.
Things went smoothly, and soon Liu Qiang's phone received a text message alert.
Seeing the one million eight hundred thousand dollars in his account, Liu Qiang was excited beyond words.
Although he was the son of a wealthy family, the amount of money he could usually use was still too little. 1.8 million, it was estimated that Liu Guohao would not be able to give himself that much in two or three years, so how could Liu Qiang not be happy.
Liu Qiang was very happy, this matter went more smoothly than he expected, he also took it for granted that this matter would also pass unnoticed.
Anyway, he hadn't stolen the stuff himself, and it was out of his hands now anyway.
This time even if someone found himself, there would be no evidence.
Liu Qiang was smiling all over his peachy face, only what he didn't know was that the incident seemed to be uneventful, but the huge waves that soon followed were almost able to swallow him up easily.
The evening seemed calm, but it passed by not so calmly after all.
Xue Yu Ning, who had been out for a while, returned to her dorm room and did not notice the sudden disappearance of Feng Ping Ping, and she even less noticed that the pendant Jiang Hao had given her had been lost before she had reached out to touch it herself. She lazily climbed into bed and went straight to sleep.
Jiang Hao, on the other hand, had been tossing and turning in bed for a long time, thinking a lot but never being able to sleep. Jiang Hao sighed that he seemed to have too much on his plate recently, because just now, Qiao San even called him, saying that he wanted to invite himself to take a look at the progress at the villa.
The last time he had gone to the villa, Jiang Hao had only had a brief look outside and hadn't gone in, so it was just as well that Qiao San had called, so he simply agreed.
On the other side of Chu Jiang, Liu Qiang was undoubtedly the most excited, a fortune had fallen from the sky, which almost kept him up all night in excitement, pulling a few women in some bar and partying all night long.
Xu Tianlin, on the other hand, looked at the blue pendant in his hand and couldn't stop smiling.
Obviously, this pendant was the lever to pry Liu Guohao, an important pawn, out of his hands.
In fact, Xu Tianlin and Jiang Hao had not crossed paths much, they had only had a brief encounter at the auction organised by You Yun.
But ever since he learned that this seemingly unimpressive little character was trying to make a big splash in Chu Jiang, he instantly sat up.
The Xu family has always regarded Chujiang as its own territory.
This was almost a consensus among both Xu Tianlin and the entire Xu family.
This is why the failure or even the demise of this project in the south of the city under Jiang Hao has become a top priority for the Xu family!
But what left the Xu family somewhat speechless was that it seemed that with the strength of this huge family of theirs, it was not enough to pose any potent threat to Jiang Hao, and it was at the time of its distress that Zhang Xiangyu appeared.
The Xu family investigated for a long time, but could not find out where this man came from. All they knew was that this man was very powerful, and he squandered money like dirt, and seemed to have endless money to spend.
The most important thing, of course, was that this man and they had the same goal - to bring down this City South project!
It was also on this basis that the Xu family started working with this man from an unknown source without any hesitation.
Perhaps the Xu family felt that perhaps it was because this Jiang Hao had, at one time or another, offended this Zhang Xiangyu, and that was why he had targeted Jiang Hao so much.
But what the Xu family didn't know was that this bullshit project in the south of the city was not in the scope of Zhang Xiangyu's vision.
At this moment, in a bar with very few customers, Zhang Xiangyu was sipping the most expensive red wine here, gazing profoundly into the distance and muttering under his breath, "Shen Haoting, I know this bullshit south of the city project is a piece of shame for you, I'm going to lift it now, I'm going to see what secrets you are hiding behind it"
The next morning, Haisheng Yipin.
Qiao San had wanted to send a car to pick up Jiang Hao, but Jiang Hao found it troublesome, so he balked and took a taxi over directly himself.
Jiang Hao wandered around the villa alone for a while, a little earlier than the time he had agreed with Qiao San.
The villa had changed a lot compared to a few days ago, there was already a lot of vegetation and greenery outside the villa, and the villa's exterior had been repainted and looked a bit more elegant.
Jiang Hao was looking at the villa and was lost in thought when a voice suddenly came from the side: "Mr Xue, this villa, is the core of our entire project, and also the most high-class villa, Haisheng Yipin No.1 Courtyard, it"
Jiang Hao asked the voice to look over and saw two men and a woman, who were walking slowly from not far away at the moment.
Originally, Jiang Hao didn't care, after all, in a high-class villa area like Haisheng Yipin, there were bound to be many people coming to see the property every day.
But just as Jiang Hao was about to withdraw his gaze, he couldn't help but freeze for a moment when he looked at the only woman among the three.
"Auntie?" Jiang Hao blurted out at once, and although his voice was not loud, the other party was already able to hear it.
Hearing Jiang Hao's voice, those three immediately stopped in their tracks and gazed towards Jiang Hao.
Indeed, that woman was no other than Xue Yuning's mother.
Seeing Jiang Hao here, Xue Yu Ning's mother was obviously surprised too, but soon, her gaze coldened once again.
She still remembered how Jiang Hao had dealt with the matter at her own relatives before.
It was her own second brother's family, and Jiang Hao had even treated them that way in the end, a grudge that she would never forget for the rest of her life.
"Why are you here?" Xue Yu Ning's mother asked indifferently.
Without waiting for Jiang Hao to answer, the man beside Xue Yu Ning's mother suddenly spoke up and asked in a small voice, "Who is he? Do you know him?"
The man was tall and although he looked to be in his forties or fifties, he still had some of the handsome appearance he had back then.
The other man was dressed in a decent suit, and one could tell just by looking at him that this man must be of some origin.
When Xue Yu Ning's mother heard this, she hurriedly whispered a few words in the man's ear.
But with just a few words, the middle-aged man's face suddenly changed.
Originally, he was quite curious when he looked at Jiang Hao, but he instantly became high and cold, and indifferently whispered, "Oh, so it's him."
