In terms of jade quality, it cannot be said that Qinghai jade is much worse than Hetian jade. Subjectively, one is high-end and the other is medium-low, because both have very cutting-edge jade mined, and they are equally beautiful in terms of exquisiteness.
The two pieces of dragon-patterned jade in front of me are made of the best material. Although they have gone through a thousand and a half hundred years, they have a faint hint of yellow, but the smooth jade quality still has a warm and watery luster.
It has not changed, but has become more restrained through the accumulation of history. Just like people, people who have troubles in their hearts are often humble and low-key, while those who are otherwise overbearing and domineering.
He reached out and carefully took both pieces of jade in his hands, and then aligned the edges to form a relatively regular circle. The delicateness, oiliness and permeability of Kunlun jade can be seen at a glance, which is the most impressive thing.
What Xue Chen was obsessed with was the dragon pattern on it.
"Xue Chen, what is engraved on this?" Jiang Huilan asked in a low voice.
"Dragon pattern."
"Dragon... pattern? Where are the dragons? Aren't they just some weird lines?" Jiang Huilan looked at it carefully, but she couldn't tell that it was a dragon pattern carved on it.
Xue Chen carefully put the jade jade back into the mold of the suitcase. Looking at Sister Jiang who was puzzled, he explained and told her that the dragon patterns in ancient times, especially before the Tang and Song Dynasties, were not as imagined.
It is really a dragon with a snake body, a hunchback head, antlers and scales all over its body.
Thousands of years ago, the dragon was still a relatively vague image, and the dragon pattern would not be a specific dragon appearance, but mostly a simple outline and ideological form.
In particular, there is a kind of dragon pattern on the bronzes of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, called the Kui dragon pattern. It is very different from the image of the modern dragon, and the similarity is extremely low, but it was the dragon of that time!
Xue Chen pointed to the dragon pattern on the jade and explained that this was the dragon pattern at that time. Although it was not very specific, you could still tell that there were roughly a dragon body, a dragon head, and a dragon horn...
Jiang Huilan nodded as if she understood, and couldn't help but admire: "Xue Chen, you know so much."
"Uh..." Seeing Sister Jiang praising herself, Xue Chen touched his nose and glanced at Sister Jiang. When the two looked at each other, Jiang Huilan's face turned red unnaturally and she lowered her head and said something.
He washed his clothes, turned around and walked away.
Xue Chen sat there and played with the two pieces of jade for a while. There is no doubt that this pair of jade is indeed a very good thing. It has a long history, high-quality jade, well-preserved, and can be called a valuable item. Twelve million
Value for money in US dollars!
After thinking about it, he took a picture with his mobile phone and sent it to Qu Liancheng, who had returned to the capital to "recruit troops." Qu Liancheng was too busy by himself and needed to find an assistant.
As expected, Qu Liancheng called back a minute later, with an unconcealable trembling in his words: "Xue Chen, this photo... it..."
"The thing is already in my hands. I bought it for US$12 million." Xue Chen said bluntly.
There was silence on the other side of the phone for a long time, and finally it turned into a long and complex sigh: "That's okay, that's okay." The implication was that it was good that the things were back in China, and fell into the hands of an acquaintance like Xue Chen.
After ending the call with Qu Liancheng, Xue Chen frowned. This pair of jade bis was worth 12 million U.S. dollars. It was not a loss to buy, and Kojimadaichi was not a loss either. So who was it?
Lost? Qu Liancheng, who made the profit, the female liar!
He thought that if he really found the liar who had framed Qu Liancheng, he wouldn't mind knocking back the twelve million U.S. dollars with his own hands, and then the jade would be back in Qu Liancheng's hands, just like reincarnation.
And the very next day, Jessica called and told him that the female liar Li Lianfang had been found, indeed in the United States, in the Flushing area of New York.
"So fast?" Xue Chen was a little surprised. It didn't take long before he found the person.
Jessica explained that she was looking for a very powerful detective agency. This detective agency has a special relationship and can check immigrants in the United States through the police network. As long as they are not illegal immigrants, it is easy to find them. Of course, the cost is also low.
Quite a bit, a full hundred thousand dollars!
The past few days have been spent determining which of the eight Chinese immigrants named Li Lianfang we are looking for, and the final confirmation was made last night.
Jessica had met Li Lianfang many years ago because the two parties had a transaction. After looking at the photos provided by the detective agency, she was sure that she was indeed the female liar back then.
"However, something seems to have gone wrong in her life and she is not living a very good life. Now she is giving people pedicures and manicures in a beauty salon in Flushing."
"Um?"
Pedicure...manicure...
Xue Chen was stunned for a moment. This was different from what he thought. Aren't we supposed to live a comfortable life? It seemed that there were only three people in that gang. The jade was sold for five million U.S. dollars, and each person could get more than one million U.S. dollars.
, as long as you don’t squander it, it’s enough to live a stable life for a lifetime.
"I don't know exactly why now. In addition to this, there is also news that she is not married, but she has a child, a daughter, who is about ten years old, about the same time as she came to the United States. I am thinking
, will it be..."
Xue Chen's heart was shocked. There is a child? The first thought in his mind was that it was impossible and unreasonable. However, he couldn't help but hope that it was what he thought.
He did not plan to tell Qu Liancheng the news immediately, but asked Jessica to go there in person to find out the matter clearly. The most important thing was...whose child it is!
After receiving the order, Jessica flew to New York alone the next day and took a taxi to the Flushing area.
When I got off the taxi and stood on the street, in an instant, at least dozens of pairs of eyes looked at Jessica, including men and women, black people, white people and yellow people.
A woman's eyes are filled with jealousy, while a man's eyes are filled with lust.
Jessica was wearing very ordinary clothes, neat light blue jeans and a black T-shirt, but standing there was undoubtedly the most beautiful scenery.
She glanced at the address recorded on her phone. It was on this street. She turned a corner and arrived at the store. Ignoring the glances around her, she walked straight to the front.
Suddenly, a Porsche coupe stopped by the road with a beautiful brake. A yellow-skinned man put his hand on the door and whistled towards Jessica: "Hey, how about we get to know each other? Let's go for a ride."
?”
Jessica acted as if she didn't hear anything, completely ignored it, and didn't even look at it.
The young man driving the Porsche didn't give up either. He looked at Jessica's back with obsessed and passionate eyes, stepped on the accelerator and caught up again, following slowly beside her.
"Hey, I don't mean anything else. How about getting acquainted and making friends?"
"Did you see that the supermarket in front belongs to me?"
"I can introduce you to many friends. There is a party tonight. Let's go together. How about we drink thousands of dollars of red wine."
Jessica felt a fly buzzing in her ear non-stop, and felt a little irritated, so she stood there, turned around and walked to the roadside, next to the Porsche coupe.
The young man inside looked happy and reached out to push the cart to welcome this angelic woman onto the cart.
However, Jessica did not get in the car. When she got to the car, she stretched out an index finger and said coldly: "If you bother me again, I will kill you!" After saying that, she raised her finger and clicked on the car.
above.
Click.
A sound.
The young man in the car was still confused. The next moment, his face turned dark and his whole body trembled. He looked in disbelief and saw that a finger penetrated the roof of the car!
That finger was as white as green onion, and its skin was extremely delicate. It came from a beautiful hand, but at this moment, that finger penetrated the hard iron car!
When the finger was withdrawn, a ray of light fell into the car along the hole. The yellow-skinned young man was already there in a daze, with dull eyes and beads of sweat on his face. He didn't even notice when Jessica left.
After five minutes, the yellow-skinned young man woke up as if from a dream. He tremblingly took out his mobile phone and dialed the police number. After a while, a police car drove up and two policemen got out of the car...
At this time, Jessica was already standing in front of a shop. The main business scope of this shop is to do beautification of hands and feet, repair nails, and apply nail polish. It is a small shop with only about ten employees.
.
Jessica opened the door and went in, and saw quite a few customers inside, most of them with Asian faces.
Her appearance naturally attracted a lot of attention.
A young female clerk came forward and said hello carefully in slightly broken English: "Hello, may I ask what service you need?"
Both the clerk and the customers felt that after Jessica entered the store, the temperature in the store seemed to have dropped a bit. Although the clothes did not show her high status, it made everyone feel a little strange.
I don’t dare to neglect the feeling.
"I'm looking for Li Lianfang, is she there?"
Just as Jessica finished speaking, a woman who came back from the bathroom raised her head in surprise and looked at the door.
The woman was about thirty-five or sixty years old, wearing a blue uniform. It could be seen that she had a good foundation. She must have been an eye-catching beauty in the past, but maybe because of hard work, there were some wrinkles in the corners of her eyes, which became dull.
"Oh, are you an old customer of Sister Li?" The female clerk smiled, then turned around and shouted, "Sister Li, someone is looking for you, he should be an old customer of yours."
"Old customer?" Li Lianfang came over hesitantly.
"Li Lianfang, we have met before. About ten years ago, you sold a pair of fraudulent jade to my father."
Jessica's simple words made Li Lianfang's expression suddenly change. (To be continued)
