Eighties Sweetheart Wife-Chapter 633: Turn the Tide Against the Wind?

The guards were so scared that one of them had to steel himself to say, "After the eldest young master left, we... drank and chatted as usual, and then fell asleep..."

Zhong Daqiao kicked both guards away with one foot.

Without a doubt, it must have been after these idiots fell asleep that someone else came and stole everything inside.

But that would have been quite a scene, wouldn’t it? They would’ve had to use a truck, and where would they have taken the stuff?

Was it really Zhong Tianci who did it?

At this moment, Zhong Daqiao felt a bit confused; he didn’t think Zhong Tianci was capable of this, but after the incident, he had clearly become distant from him.

He never looked up at him during meals.

One could interpret that as him feeling guilty, but could it also mean that he was plotting for his own sake with a cunning mind?

Otherwise, why would he suddenly come here out of the blue?

But at that time, this bastard shouldn’t have known his real identity, right?

If it wasn’t him, then who could it be?

It could only be Song Yunuan and Hai Shaoqing then.

In that moment, Zhong Daqiao felt as if the world was spinning around him and everything before his eyes turned dark.

If the items had ended up in Zhong Tianci’s hands, that would have been somewhat better, for there was a chance he could get them back.

But if they were in the hands of Song Yunuan and Hai Shaoqing, then it truly would be like rain falling into the river or a clay ox entering the sea—gone forever!

If that were the case, what would he have left?

Just a few secret properties.

Zhong Daqiao braced himself and kept telling himself not to panic, reminding himself that there was always hope as long as he was alive.

Maybe there was still a chance for a turnaround.

Zhong Daqiao decided to go back and test Zhong Tianci.

Then he saw the guilty look in Zhong Tianci’s eyes.

Zhong Daqiao’s heart sank at that moment; he grabbed Zhong Tianci’s clothes, intending to confront him, but then, unexpectedly, Zhong Tianci pushed him away.

Zhong Daqiao was old; how could he withstand the strong and young Zhong Tianci?

Struggling to stand up, his face pale with anger, Zhong Daqiao stared at Zhong Tianci. This bastard had already fought against him several times with no holds barred.

Was he still counting on him to care for him in his old age?

It seemed impossible now.

At this moment, Zhong Daqiao felt an immense desolation in his heart, as if all his efforts in the past had gone to the dogs.

He and that cheap woman were both ungrateful wretches.

Zhong Tianci plainly said, "I did go back once, but it was to pick out a set of diamond jewelry as a birthday gift for Kai Lin. Besides that, I didn’t take anything else."

Zhong Daqiao’s breath became unsteady, and pointing a trembling finger at Zhong Tianci, he asked, "Then tell me, how did you unlock the fingerprint lock?"

Zhong Tianci: "...I brought Wang Jiasheng with me."

Wang Jiasheng had previously worked at the research base and was Zhong Daqiao’s man. After the research base was forced to shut down by Song Yunuan, Zhong Daqiao arranged for him to work at the overseas electronics technology company.

Then he was brought back because of the need to build a secret vault.

The fingerprint locks were designed by this man.

So if he wanted to unlock this so-called fingerprint, it would have been easy for him.

So does that mean these two were in cahoots?

"Then you tell me, why would Wang Jiasheng listen to you?"

Zhong Tianci ran his hand through his hair in annoyance.

He spoke to Zhong Daqiao in a rather bad tone, "He wanted a set of jade jewelry to give to his mistress."

That explained it then.

But now, Zhong Daqiao no longer trusted him.

They had no blood relation to begin with, and now things had come to this pass—could he still take this kid’s words as before?

Besides, he had often lied and deceived him in the past.

And just now, you claimed you only took one set of diamond jewelry.

But in fact, there’s also a set of jadeite jewelry here.

These two sets of jewelry are worth several million according to market prices.

Zhong Daqiao felt as if something had grabbed his heart, it truly hurt so much that even his breathing was not smooth.

This bastard has squandered so much, doesn’t he know the value of that set of diamond jewelry?

Does Kai Lin even deserve to wear diamond jewelry?

He really wanted to die of anger.

Zhong Daqiao struggled to regulate his breathing, if he died of anger right now, he would truly end up with nothing.

His gaze dark and fixed, he stared at Zhong Tianci, "If what you’re saying is true, you’d better bring back both the diamond and jadeite jewelry. Don’t think that just because you have an electronics technology company and other assets that everything will be alright. With that pig-like brain of yours, you can’t outwit Hai Shaoqing. If what you’re saying is false, and those items are still with you, then you better be careful, lest you end up with nothing at all."

Zhong Tianci was so angry he was stomping his feet, "I told you it wasn’t me who did it, why don’t you believe me? Do we even need to think about it? It must have been Song Yunuan and Hai Shaoqing who took them."

Zhong Daqiao, however, slowly sat down on the sofa, just as Xue Meirou hurried out of the bedroom.

She felt she had slept too deeply today, something was not right, but she no longer had time to think about it.

Just arriving in the living room, she learned that all the cash and jewelry, which comprised the largest portion of their total assets, had vanished without a trace.

Only then did she learn that Zhong Tianci had secretly gone once before, stealing a set of diamond jewelry and a set of jadeite jewelry.

Xue Meirou’s head buzzed on the spot.

How could everything be gone?

It was supposed to be foolproof, how did it vanish without a trace?

She angrily ordered Zhong Tianci to call Wang Jiasheng.

Unfortunately, the call didn’t go through.

The three people with guilty consciences finally came to understand something in common.

That the jewelry and cash were probably gone forever.

Wang Jiasheng was indeed in Hai Shaoqing’s hands.

On this end, Song Yunuan had long ago set up surveillance.

With a story trigger in her hands, people at her disposal, and money, what was she unable to do?

Just quietly watch.

This matter was left to Sixth Master to handle.

Sixth Master’s men had taken control of Kai Lin, having her ask Zhong Tianci for a birthday present, and subtly hinting at diamonds. freёweɓnovel.com

Zhong Tianci, deeply enamored with Kai Lin, naturally agreed to anything she asked.

Wang Jiasheng was indeed bribed by Zhong Tianci, but afterwards, was controlled by Sixth Master’s men.

The second day after Song Yunuan and Hai Shaoqing arrived, the jewelry and cash were secretly transported out.

After the transfer, a heavy rain erased any traces.

Hai Shaoqing was generous, presenting Sixth Master with a set of diamond and jadeite jewelry for his wife and daughter, along with some smaller jewels for those working under him.

Sixth Master did not decline, nor was it to purchase any kindness.

Mutual exchange ensures longevity.

Under Song Yunuan’s guidance, Sixth Master now knew which path to take.

He believed everything Song Yunuan told him.

At this moment, Song Yunuan and Hai Shaoqing were standing in a secret warehouse.

The items were all stored here.

No password or fingerprint was set, because this place was very secure.

It was provided by the head of the office.

After everything was settled, Hai Shaoqing hesitated to speak as he looked at Song Yunuan.

Song Yunuan glanced at him, wondering to herself, did Hai Shaoqing have something to say to her?

Moreover, it must be something difficult to say, otherwise, he wouldn’t look like this.
