While the Qiu family was still wailing by the road, Ye Fan had reached the first floor with the two ladies.
"Mu-Cheng, didn't you say that Ye Fan actually found a rock with imperial jade? Take me to see it!" Su Qian was really someone who wasn't sentimental at all. She was already no longer depressed about what happened earlier and kept pestering Qiu Mu-Cheng to show her that imperial jade rock.
Su Qian had always liked all sorts of jewelry and was very curious about this extremely famous imperial jade that she had heard much about.
"But Mu-Cheng, I'm still really doubtful. Ye Fan is just a pauper and he really discovered imperial jade? Do you know how much imperial jade is worth? I've seen a jade necklace made from imperial jade that cost at least $100 million. I nearly fainted when I saw the price and I didn't even dare to take a closer look, never mind buy it," Su Qian continued to ramble on.
Qiu Mu-Cheng just laughed helplessly.
"Alright, alright, I'll let you see it later."
They reached the counter and told the staff that they were here to collect their item.
"Oh? But Miss Qiu, didn't you get someone to collect it on your behalf earlier?" The counter staff asked her quizzically.
Qiu Mu-Cheng immediately frowned. "When did I let someone collect it on my behalf? Did you make a mistake?"
"That's not possible. There were so many of them earlier, and they said they were your sister and uncle or something along those lines. A group of them came together and they even brought the family register along," explained the staff.
After Qiu Mu-Cheng heard this, her face instantly paled and her eyes widened.
"What did you say? Someone claiming to be my relatives took the item? What are all of you doing? How could you let them take away something that belongs to me?"
Qiu Mu-Cheng was going crazy from being so angry.
She knew those people from the Qiu family well. If they got their hands on that jadeite, she could forget about getting it back!
That was a $200 million imperial jade! Qiu Mu-Cheng didn't expect Qiu Mu-Ying and the family to be despicable enough to do something like this.
"Miss Qiu, what's wrong? What happened?"
Shen Fei and Han Shao-Jie had just come out from the auction hall to see that Qiu Mu-Cheng's face was red and seething with anger.
"What on earth?! Someone collected the imperial jade on your behalf without permission? I'll be fucked!" Shen Fei was terribly shocked when he heard what happened and flew into a rage instantly.
"Where's the manager? Get your manager here right now!" roared Shen Fei angrily.
That imperial jade was discovered by Ye Fan and part of it was to be sold to Shen Group too, so of course Shen Fei was equally furious that this great treasure was gone just like that.
The moment Zhang Boren came out, Shen Fei kicked him hard and sent him rolling onto the floor.
"Young Master Shen, what's the matter?" Zhang Boren was shocked and confused.
Shanshui Hall belonged to Li Er, but everyone in Yunzhou knew who Shen Jiu-Yi was. Shen Jiu-Yi wasn't just ridiculously rich, but he was also one of Li Er's favorites. Since Shen Fei was the heir to the Shens, Zhang Boren didn't dare to offend him at all.
"I really...Who gave you the guts to give that jadeite to someone else? Don't you know that the policy here is that only the actual person is allowed to collect the items that are placed here for safekeeping?" yelled Shen Fei with bloodshot eyes.
Zhang Boren quickly put two and two together and replied fearfully, "It was just a rock and...and they said they were Miss Qiu's relatives, so...so I..."
"So you did something bloody stupid!” Shen Fei was so angry that he slapped the manager. He was really on the verge of going mad.
"Just a rock? Zhang Boren, you're in deep trouble! Do you know what rock that was? That was imperial jade! Glass imperial jade! It's worth as much as $200 million! And you were idiotic enough to give something worth $200 million to somebody else without thinking? You're going to pay for this! Shit! How could Shanshui Hall hire someone so stupid!" Shen Fei continued to curse angrily at Zhang Boren because he was so angry.
But since things had turned out like this, there was no use in scolding the manager. They had to think of a way to get that jadeite back.
