In the bedroom of the villa, everyone looked at Ling Yuan nervously. He was lying on the bed at the moment. All the clothes on his upper body had been removed. His back, which still looked thin and pale, was covered with cold sweat. He let out a series of deep hums, obviously.
Very painful.
At this moment, Master Longlit was grabbing leeches one by one from the black pottery jar that Juliet was holding, and placed them up along Ling Yuan's spine. These were no ordinary leeches, they were actually pure white, with a golden stripe on them.
The yellow pattern looked very strange. As soon as the leeches landed on Ling Yuan's body, they began to suck blood desperately, and soon doubled in size. However, they did not become bright red, but turned into a dark green color all over their bodies.
Color, when these leeches swelled to the size of small sausages, they fell off Ling Yuan's body, as if they were dead. Master Long Lit's expression became serious.
"Master, is my father okay? The voodoo has been sucked out?" Ling Hao asked anxiously.
Longlite shook his head: "Your father's voodoo is very deep. It is indeed an evil thing that only black wizards use. It is very troublesome. This toxin is closely combined with the blood. My 'Holy Snow Leech' doesn't have it."
The method is to completely separate this toxin from your father's blood, which is why so much blood was sucked out. This black voodoo also has the same anti-theft measures, and it also harms the 'Holy Snow Leech' that removes the poison, so they
They were all poisoned to death. From this point of view, I am afraid that this kind of voodoo is probably a compound type. It not only works in the blood, but may also work in many aspects such as the brain and nervous system. I can only fully understand it.
Only after its toxicity can it be detoxified in a targeted manner. I'm afraid it won't be something that can be done in a hurry. It's normal for it to take a year and a half. Ling Hao, I'm afraid we will have to live here permanently."
Ling Hao said gratefully: "Master, in order to save my father, he was willing to delay his practice and spend such a long time here. The Ling family cannot thank you enough. Even if I spend everything I have in the Ling family, I will never be able to repay your great kindness. You two
Feel free to stay here, and I will arrange your daily life."
Longlite laughed and scolded: "You kid, don't talk such nonsense. When your great-grandfather and I called each other brothers, your grandfather wasn't born yet. Do I care about your kid's thanks? Money is not even mentioned. You must also know that I can't.
I’ve never been short of money. I’m willing to stay. Even if you don’t even care about three meals a day, I won’t leave. If I don’t want to stay, you can’t keep me, old Longlite, even if you give me a mountain of gold. You all
Go about your business, our master and disciples will stay here."
Anne quickly ordered her assistant to recruit a few more servants to take care of the daily life of everyone here, and also arranged for a smarter subordinate to come over every day. Once the master has any needs, he will be solved as soon as possible. Li Liang was reluctant to let himself go
His old brother also decided to stay and take care of Ling Yuan. Ling Hao originally planned to hold a banquet for the master to cleanse himself from the dust, but he didn't follow this trick and refused directly, which made Ling Hao feel bad, but he didn't
The only solution was to take Anne and leave, thinking that I would come over every three days to see him. Even if he didn't see her, he couldn't be so shameless and rude.
In this way, Lingyuan's long detoxification process began. Master Longlit was very dedicated and even asked Juliet to go back to the Alps to pick up some things. Anne managed to transport them all into the country. There were some weird things in them. If
It would definitely be impossible to pass the customs normally, so I had to use some unconventional means. A big truck brought two cars. This time, the two-story building of the master and the apprentice was full of wooden shelves and bottles and cans, and it became "Huo".
Gwartz's "Magic Laboratory".
Anne has recently been busy expanding her "Dinaste Jewelry Co., Ltd.", which is now the "Dinaste Jewelry Group", because there are too many jewelry brought back from the undersea temple this time, all kinds of top-notch jewelry
There are more than 5,000 rough gemstones, and more than 4,000 expensive "conch beads". These are nothing. Those big bags, small bags, plastic bags, and toolboxes almost all contain "Pippi Shrimp"
The large natural pearls were so stuffed that I couldn’t even count them when I came back. I simply weighed them and found that they weighed more than 100 kilograms. Fortunately, the "Pippi Shrimp" had excellent performance. Even though it was so overweight, it actually floated up from the bottom of the sea.
What is the concept of 100 kilograms of pearls? Assuming that the size of these pearls is between 15-17 mm in diameter, one pearl weighs about 5 grams, and 100 kilograms is more than 20,000 pearls. Later, Zuo Pengfei used a vacuum cleaner to clean the "skin"
"Pi Xia Hao", you can take out a handful of pearls from the vacuum cleaner after it is finished, which shows that there are really so many pearls that they are like dirt. These are wild natural pearls, and based on conservative estimates based on the market price, they are still needed.
One piece is about 10,000 US dollars, which means that this is a huge wealth of 200 million US dollars.
This is not the most shocking thing. The box of more than 4,000 conch beads has been specially inspected by experts from Hong Kong Island. Although most of them are pink "Kongke beads", there are also some more expensive ones.
There are "Meile Pearls" and even several huge "Emperor Tang Guanlu Pearls", the value of which is even more staggering.
Ling Hao knew these conch beads very well. His father taught him a lot of this knowledge since he was a child, thinking that this was the true inheritance of the "Pearl Fishermen". His father had not awakened his bloodline, and had never even mentioned the "Zhenhai Longhu"
"This may be related to the fact that my grandparents passed away when my father was four years old. My father grew up in a village of pearl divers, so it is understandable that he considers himself a descendant of pearl divers.
Kong Ke beads are produced in the body of the "Queen's snail". They are pink in color, mostly oval in shape, and have flame patterns on the surface. The pearl production rate is as low as one in 50,000, and cannot be artificially cultured. Less than 900 are produced every year, which shows how many pearls there are.
Precious, due to its rarity, they are basically traded in auction houses and sold without pricing. It is common to sell tens of thousands of dollars each. "Emperor Tang Guan Luo Pearl" is produced from "Tang Guan Luo", one of the four famous snails.
Among them, even conch is so rare that it has become a protected animal, and its pearls are even more rare. The Queen of England has a brooch inlaid with this precious pearl, which is deeply loved by her. In a recent auction, a
The 14-carat "Emperor Tang Guanlu Pearl" actually sold for a high price of 1.89 million US dollars, which is definitely a treasure. "Meile Pearl" is the most famous, orange with some flame patterns, produced in the body of coconut snails
, because it is deeply loved by the royal family of a certain Southeast Asian country, it is also called "Dragon Pearl". Currently, there are only more than 200 jewelry-grade "Mile Pearls" on the market, and they are basically collected by European jewelry collectors.
It is rare for a newly produced pearl to be released. A 100.4-carat "Mile Pearl" once sold for a sky-high price of US$2.7 million at an auction house on Hong Kong Island. It once set a world record for the auction price of a single pearl.
Only those who really work in the pearl industry can understand what Ling Hao's box of conch beads represents. The number of "Meile beads" alone is several times the number of existing ones today. Once they are released at the same time, the market will inevitably collapse.
, including the box of precious gems. The only way to maximize profits is to stretch them, make them into precious jewelry one by one, and sell them slowly. This can be a big deal for a lifetime, even if it is extremely rough.
And the conservative valuation is also between US$1 billion and US$2.5 billion.
Therefore, Anne must operate well. In the new jewelry group, Ling Hao's team holds 40% of the shares, and quickly acquired one of the best pearl jewelry finishing companies in Hong Kong, as well as Idar Oberstein and Advocate
We have established a jewelry finishing factory in each city, and have begun to open "specialty stores" in international cities such as London, Paris, New York, and Tokyo. Various marketing plans have begun to be implemented, and some gemstones and pearls have also been sent to the factory for processing.
After careful processing, the rest is deposited in the vault of a major bank in Hong Kong Island. You will be able to see the benefits within 3 months at the earliest. Ling Hao knows little about these high-end business methods and cannot participate in many opinions, but he
Trust Anne, leave these things to her, and with the Rothschild family's backing, Ling Hao feels relieved.
On this day, Ling Hao was drinking kung fu tea with Master Long Lit and Li Liang at the stone table by the small pool in the villa. He saw Annie peeking out from behind the screen wall at the door. Long Lit and Li Liang both laughed.
, winking at Ling Hao and saying: "Go, find yours."
Ling Hao looked back for no reason and saw Annie waving to him, so he had to get up and walk over. "Why are you hiding so that the elders can see the joke."
"Follow me." Annie did not answer Ling Hao, but pulled him outside the yard and whispered to him: "The organ trafficking organization you asked me to investigate has some clues. I hired the most powerful person in the world.
The good private detective organization 'Night Hunters' has found out almost all of their situations." As she spoke, Annie handed a two-inch-thick stack of information to Ling Hao.
After looking through the information, Ling Hao showed a ruthless look on his face: "It's time to deal with them."
"What? Are you planning to contact your Interpol girlfriend?" Annie pouted. Ever since she learned about Zhu Xin's existence, she has been particularly concerned about the woman who occupies the closest position next to Ling Hao. She has no idea about Zhu Xin's background.
He and the situation were also investigated in private. Love rivals are also enemies. Although they will not fight, competition on the surface is inevitable.
Ling Hao had a headache. Although Zhu Xin had been busy finishing the case of the "Blue Marlin" arms trafficking organization during this period, the case could not be concluded until the first criminal was arrested. The "Interpol Red Notice" had been issued long ago.
However, these transnational criminals are very cunning, and there are many of them who have been wanted for more than ten years without being caught.
No matter how busy two people are, it is still essential to have a phone call every two or three days to understand each other's current situation and communicate their feelings. Gradually, the relationship between the two people gradually settled down, and it was not as raw as when they first fell in love.
and shy, more like a couple who "keep everything secret". They don't have so many sticky love words, but they care about each other 360 degrees in every detail.
From the time he went to the Aegean Sea, Zhu Xin knew every step of Ling Hao's actions. Ling Hao also said that although Annie was introduced to him by the professor, he was an "ordinary friend" who was introduced to help by the professor, but he was also helping to investigate criminals.
She found a wizard to treat her father, and even started a company together. With a woman's keen intuition, Zhuxin could naturally sense the quiet appearance of a love rival. However, she still knew Ling Hao very well. Status and money could not shake Ling Hao's feelings.
The older boy who was emotionally dull and a little dull was not the kind of man who could change his mind and have rich emotions, so she felt more at ease with Ling Hao. Zhu Xin also had her own pride, it was her own, no one could take it away, it was not hers.
, she can't keep him even if she tries her best. She is not the kind of woman who uses tears and noise to tie up a man. Zhuxin is a wise girl. She understands very well that a man loves you because you are cute, not you.
Tell him that he should and must love you. Love is an attraction, not a shackle.
"Yes, there is nothing wrong with Interpol catching international criminals." Ling Hao pretended not to hear the sourness in Annie's words.
"They failed to catch the first culprit in the 'Blue Marlin' case. Although Interpol may seem huge, in the end it only uses local police officers, with a mixed mix of good and bad, and even a mixed bag. The risk of leaking information is too great.
The efficiency is not high, and there are too many rules and regulations. Even if a person is caught, unscrupulous lawyers accidentally take advantage of legal loopholes, allowing these criminals to still walk free. Are there many examples of this?"
"What do you mean?"
Annie said with murderous intent in her eyes: "Instead of counting on Interpol, why not hire a group of top mercenaries, and then give a 'hidden bounty' to the top killers in the world? I don't believe that the one nicknamed 'Sea Cucumber' will survive."
.”
Ling Hao looked at Annie with a surprised look, which confused the girl: "Why, do you think I'm rude and cruel?"
Ling Hao said earnestly: "Some methods, even if we have the ability to use them, must be used with caution. Black and white have their own order. We are a group of people living in the sun. If we are used to solving problems in the dark night, sooner or later we will have to fall into the trap."
Into the dark night. The result I want this time is to destroy this criminal chain of organ trafficking, not to kill the "sea cucumber". Otherwise, even if the "sea cucumber" dies, maybe a "sea anemone" or "sea anemone" will appear in a few days.
'Sea Urchin' takes over his position and continues the same work, so the efforts we put in are meaningless. Besides, if we hire people and do things under the covers, we will leave obvious traces, and the other party is likely to discover us.
But if you can’t bear the other party’s retaliation, you should provide the information to Interpol.”
Ling Hao persuaded Annie and took out the phone: "Zhuxin, the intelligence and information of the 'Sea Cucumber' organization is complete, and the entire criminal chain has been investigated. When can you return to Hong Kong City?"
"Okay, I'll make arrangements to leave within three days. You have to come and pick me up when you arrive." A voice like a silver bell rang on the phone, the kind with a very high sugar content.
