The person quickly came to the safe box beside the desk and listened carefully to the surroundings again. Then she rotated the buttons on it to match a set of numbers, and finally took out a universal key and stuffed it into the lock hole.
With a faint click, the safe box was opened successfully. A glimmer of light flashed through her eyes. There was a box and some precious jewelry inside. The maid opened the box directly, and there was a jade ring lying quietly in it.
Different from other jade products, this ring was blood red all over. It was said that when one looked at it under the light, he could see nine dragons rotating inside, so the grandmaster of Golden Eagle named it Ninth-refined Ring.
This was the most important collection in Howard's life, and also the reason why he had a feud with Golden Eagle for decades. It was said that this Ninth-refined Ring was once bought from the ancestor of Golden Eagle with astronomical figures and passed down to the grandfather of Golden Eagle.
But later, when the family of Golden Eagle's grandfather declined, Golden Eagle's grandfather had no choice but to sell the ring. When he was old, his biggest regret was to sell his father's favorite Ninth-refined Ring. So he told Golden Eagle's father to buy it back no matter how.
The Golden Eagle's father had never found out the whereabouts of Ninth-refined Ring in his whole life. Before he died, he also told the Golden Lion about this matter, so Golden Eagle had been looking for the whereabouts of Ninth-refined Ring.
Later, he heard that a businessman bought Ninth-refined Ring at a high price. After several rounds of investigation, he knew that the person who finally bought Ninth-refined Ring was Howard Wei.
At that time, Golden Eagle had negotiated with Howard several times and wanted to buy it at the same price, but were all refused by Howard. There was even a time when Golden Eagle asked several powerful people in the circle of the business and the circle of politics to persuade Howard to sell Ninth-refined Ring to him.
Howard still remained unmoved. Since then, Howard's Will Group and Golden Eagle Group began to have a formal confrontation. But it was strange that at that time, Will Group and Golden Eagle were not as big as they were now. For so many years, the two companies had been well matched, and this kind of open and secret struggle not only did not hurt their vital energy, but also began to allow them to grow healthily.
If it weren't for this incident, Will Group and Golden Eagle Group would continue to fight with each other. But now it seemed that Will Group was obviously not a match for Golden Eagle Group. In the eyes of outsiders, Will was defeated miserably.
Howard's wife, the grandmother of Greg, liked ancient accessories, especially the ring. But they were very poor when they were young and couldn't afford this kind of things.
Once, in order to please his girlfriend, Howard deliberately found some ancient collections of paintings for her to see. At that time, Greg's grandmother pointed at the Ninth-Refined Ring and expressed her likeness.
"This Ninth-Refined Ring is so beautiful!" She said so at that time.
"I will give it to you one day!" Howard looked at her affectionately and swore.
