Chapter 122: Finally Found the Person Who Harm Gu Shiyan
A message notification suddenly popped up on her phone screen.
She opened it and saw that it was from Gu Jinxi. “Sister-in-law, you can’t be biased. I want a bracelet too.”
Below was a screenshot of Gu Ziheng’s timeline.
That guy shamelessly posted nine consecutive pictures of the bracelet, rotating it 360 degrees, with the caption: “Treasure from my sister-in-law.”
Lu Miao’s lips twitched. Were these two acting like children? They were always competing for attention.
Helplessly, she replied, “I’ll get you one when I go back.”
Gu Jinxi was satisfied and immediately went to show off the chat screenshot to Gu Ziheng.
Before Lu Miao could even put down her phone, another message came through, this time from Gu Shiyan.
“Gu Ziheng and the others are already adults. They can buy whatever they want. You don’t have to spoil them like this.”
“It’s nothing. It’s just a bracelet.”Lu Miao replied indifferently.
There was a pause on the other end of the line.” How long are you going to stay in Beijing?
“I’m not sure.”
“Okay, go to bed early.”
Gu Shiyan returned to his WeChat timeline and watched Gu Ziheng and Gu Jinxi spamming the screen to show off to each other. He pursed his lips and said to Baili, who was beside him.
“The company’s funds have been tight recently- Ziheng has cut back on his
expenses and moved the talent show recording back to the island as soon as possible.”
Baili had a face full of question marks.
He had just seen it yesterday. There were at least hundreds of billions of cash in the Gu Corporation’s account.
Did Mr Gu have some misunderstanding about the lack of funds?
Gu Ziheng, who was far away in the capital, sneezed. Who was talking bad about him?
There were a total of 30 contestants participating in the recording of the program. The first round of the challenge alone would be recorded over three days.
Lu Miao’s next recording session would be in the semi-finals two days later.
The next day, Gu Ziheng went to record the show after breakfast. Lu Miao made some protective talismans at home in the morning. Although the unit price of these things was cheap, they were in large quantities. In one morning, she earned 500,000 yuan.
After lunch, she put on a simple disguise and took a taxi to Peony TV.
This kind of event was naturally not something that anyone could attend just because they wanted to. The entrance fee was 100,000 yuan per ticket.
Lu Miao transferred the money at the entrance and entered the room with the admission ticket.
The hall was divided into four sections according to the price of raw gemstones, ranging from tens of thousands to tens of millions. The higher the price, the higher the chance of cutting out top-grade jade.
After the jade was cut out, if someone on the spot took a fancy to it, the organizer could do the transaction directly on the spot or sell it to the organizer.
If you don’t want to sell it, you can take it with you.
Lu Miao only had 400,000 yuan left in her card, so she went to the area with the lowest price.
Those who could play with raw stones were basically rich people. There was basically no one in the area with the lowest price.
She walked around and spent 200,000 yuan to pick three stones. She then asked someone to cut them open on the spot.
Other than the two ordinary jade pieces, he also cut out a piece of good quality suet jade.
It was immediately bought by someone for two million yuan on the spot, and the remaining few pieces were sold to the organizer for fifty thousand yuan.
When Lu Miao walked all the way to the 10 million area, she already had 20 million in her card.
Stone gambling was like this. Some people became rich overnight, while others went bankrupt.
Her sweeping performance also attracted the attention of the organizers behind the surveillance cameras.
In fact, since the organizer dared to organize such an event, he naturally had some tricks up his sleeves. He basically knew how many stones could be cut into jade.
There were only so many stones that could be cut out of jade, and she had bought all of them. How were they going to make money with the remaining waste stones?
Behind the surveillance camera, a young man with a gloomy face was playing with a small piece of jade between his fingers. He looked at Lu Miao through the surveillance screen in front of him for a long time.
He said to the middle-aged man in his thirties or forties behind him,” Boss Lei, go and see if this little girl is one of you and if she’s playing any tricks.”
Boss Lei was someone he had specifically paid a high price to bring back from abroad, skilled in the arts of cultivation.
After speaking, he turned and walked towards the main hall outside.
In the main hall, Lu Miao made a full circle in the multi-million area and finally fixed her gaze on the two largest stones.
Glancing at the price tag next to them, thirty million, she was still short of ten million.
People around her shook their heads when they saw her looking at those two stones.
Those two stones were dark and seemed like dried rocks on the surface, with several cracks revealing the same dark core inside. It was clear that they couldn’t possibly yield any jade.
Previously, they thought she had some real skills as she swept through the auction, but now it seemed that it was just luck.
If she bought these two stones, not only would she lose the money she had earned before, but she would also have to invest over ten million of her own.
Lu Miao hesitated between Fu Jingshen and Gu Shiyan for a moment before finally choosing to send a message to Gu Shiyan.
“Can you lend me ten million for now?”
On the other side, Gu Shiyu was in a crucial negotiation with a business partner when the door of the meeting room suddenly opened. Baili walked in with a cellphone in his hand.
The staff nearby couldn’t help but be curious. Who was this important person who could make Baili risk coming in during such an important moment?
As expected, Gu Shiyan’s expression did not look good when he was suddenly interrupted. He took his phone and opened the screen to see the message. His cold expression instantly softened.
A hint of a smile flashed across his eyes as he sent his account password over.
Then, he replied,” There’s no limit. You can swipe as you wish.” The accompanying staff were all stunned.
Did they just eat some poisonous mushrooms and hallucinate?
Their CEO Mr. Gu laughed!
This was truly a once-in-a-thousand-year wait.
On the phone, Lu Miao looked at the account and password sent to her and raised her hand to touch her forehead.
There was no need for it, really no need. She just needed the ten million to secure the deal quickly.
Wasn’t this person afraid that she would just take the money and run?
She beckoned to the staff, indicating that she wanted those two stones.
Logging into Gu Shiyan’s account, she efficiently transferred ten million to herself.
As she paid, she narrowed her eyes and glanced at Boss Lei, who was in the opposite corner.
Of course, she guessed that this person was sent by the organizer. What surprised her was that this person was covered in a faint black fog. It seemed to have something to do with Gu Shiyan.
Her fingertips curled slightly, and a wisp of black fog floated over from that person’s body. As if it had consciousness, it immediately wrapped around her fingertips, scrambling to drill into her body.
Gu Shiyan’s body was strengthened by the power of the curse and the Seven Kill Formation, while this person’s body seemed to be the backlash of the curse, mixed with wisps of death energy.
In other words, even if he was not the mastermind, he was definitely one of the people who had participated in the formation.
The corners of her lips curled up. She thought that she had only come here to earn money today, but she had never expected such a pleasant surprise.
She was also very curious about who wanted to kill Gu Shiyan..
