Caden shouted, “Kirk.” Kirk immediately took out a handful of money, about fifty thousand yuan, “Sir, this is the reward for your information. We are in a hurry, and didn’t bring too much cash. Sorry about that.”
With that, he put the money into the driver’s hand, who was already shocked. Kirk caught up with Caden and got in his car.
“Make a call to ask about the flight to Xiamen: whether there is only one flight at this time, and have the most recent one taken off yet.”
“No problem.”
After a while, Kirk answered, “Boss, it just took off, what should we do?”
“If I am not mistaken, Mr. Chang had a private plane in Hangzhou?” As he said, he started to call the “Mr. Chang” that he just mentioned, trying to ask the latter about borrowing the plane.
A layer of thin sweat permeated out from Gloria’s forehead. Caden narrowed his eyes: “Gloria, are you feeling hot?”
“Yeah, a little bit. I am not very used to the weather in Hangzhou.” Her answer was mediocre. Caden stared at her for a while, then moved his sight away.
Nobody knew that the back of Gloria was already sticky due to the sweat.
The private plane that Caden borrowed took off.
He was on his way to Xiamen.
Grace didn’t take the plane to Xiamen. Instead, she changed direction in the airport and headed towards the city. She firstly registered for a bank card. Next, she went to a very high-end antique store, selling a diamond necklace and a jade from the iron box. As she saw the diamond necklace and that jade, she felt that life was really ironic.
She was about to escape, but the money was the present that Caden gave her.
The jewelries that Caden gave her were very expensive. That jade was worth more than three hundred thousand alone. She knew it, no mention the diamond necklace. Now the antique store deliberately forced down the price to a total of three hundred thousand for both the necklace and the jade.
“This price can be used to bully those who know nothing about antiques. But I know this jade alone is worth more than three hundred thousand yuan.” she said, but she was quick to continue, “However, if you can give me three hundred thousand in cash right now, that would work too.”
“Are they clean?”
Grace understood. The buyer noticed her eagerness to sell those stuffs as soon as possible, and he was afraid that the cargoes were illegal.
Grace took out the receipt from the iron box, “I have the receipts.”
The buyer was relieved when he saw the receipts. As for the reason why Grace would sell those two items in such a low price. He wouldn’t care as long as the cargoes were legal, he didn’t care about other things. Therefore, he would not ask the reason, and said,
“Give me the receipts.” With that, he called a servant to his side: “Go prepare three hundred thousand cash.”
Working in this circle, sometimes they would need a large amount of cash. As a result, the safe in the finance office kept a lot of cash in case they needed any.
“May I send someone to accompany you?”
Grace smiled faintly and looked at the buyer: “No, thanks.”
She held a black haversack, the very large ones were sold online. She put the three hundred thousand into the haversack so that it wouldn’t attract others’ attention.
She went to the bank inconspicuously and stored the cash into her card, leaving only ten thousand as cash in till.
