C1918 He Was Looking for Tang Mengran
It turned out that during the three days when Lin Yi was treating Wei Konghe, Wei Guotao's son, Wei Ningning, was pulled by a few friends who were equally rich and powerful in the provincial capital to race. No one knew who had heard that the Wei family had an Emperor Jade. Therefore, he had provoked him and made Wei Ningning use it as a bet. Racing with them.
The result was obvious. Wei Ningning lost to those friends. The Emperor Jade of Wei family was gone, and there was no way he could continue to pay Lin Yi according to the agreement. This was what made Wei Guotao feel the most awkward.
After all, no matter what, he had agreed to it earlier, but now he couldn't take out anything. It was really hard to explain. Besides, Wei Guotao was still thinking about how to win Lin Yi over. Now that such a thing had happened, it was already very fortunate that he didn't offend ___. And to rope ___ in? What kind of joke was this?
"Why did such a thing happen all of a sudden?"
Yunxing frowned and felt that something was strange. "Although Emperor Jade is very rare, it has been in the Wei family for a few years now. Unless you deliberately show off outside, those second generations wouldn't know about the Emperor Jade, right?"
Showing off outside on purpose?
When he heard this, Wei Guotao immediately glared at him unhappily.
Their Wei family was one of the eight small families in the provincial capital, and their assets were worth tens of billions. It was just a piece of Emperor Jade, and besides having some collectibles, it was also worth a lot of money. Strictly speaking, it was worth a few hundred million at most. Any company under the Wei family had billions of dollars worth of assets. There was no need to show off with a piece of broken jade.
However, what Yunxing said made sense. Those second generations were all ignorant and incompetent. They relied on the fact that they had some money in their family, so they acted recklessly. All of them had nothing to do other than picking up girls and racing all day long. This kind of person shouldn't care about the Emperor Jade of the Wei family.
"You mean there's someone behind this matter?"
Wei Guotao frowned. If that was the case, then the problem would be serious.
"Actually, compared to this, I am more curious about one thing."
Lin Yi, who was sitting at the side, couldn't help but ask, "First Guard's old man is already beyond cure. Why is your young master still in the mood to go out and race with his friends? If this matter is spread out, I am afraid it will not be good."
Upon hearing this, Wei Guotao's face instantly darkened.
Yunxing coughed and sat silently on the side. He had always felt that Wei Ningning wasn't the right person to do big things. Now that so many years had passed, although he hadn't seen him yet, however, Yunxing felt that his judgment wasn't wrong.
His own grandfather was about to die, but he still had the mood to go out and race. What kind of nerves and heart was this?
"My younger brother has been spoiled since he was young, and he has always been pure and innocent. Logically speaking, it is impossible for him to make such a mistake at this time, unless he was misled. I also suspect that someone is using Grandpa's illness to attack my Wei family. "
At this moment, Wei Xuanxuan walked over and sat opposite of Lin Yi. She said calmly, "I've investigated it. The Emperor Jade should be in Bao Qingshui's hands now. He is the second young master of the Bao family, one of the eight small families. In the past, he had the best relationship with my younger brother. Of course, this kind of relationship is basically the kind of relationship where friends eat, drink, and have fun. Once you encounter something big that concerns your interests, you will immediately be terrified. "
After hearing Wei Xuanxuan's words, Lin Yi couldn't help but want to laugh.
To be so rude in front of outsiders and make up stories about his younger brother, it seemed that Wei Ningning didn't have much status in the Wei family. But speaking of which, compared to his brother who didn't seem very reliable... Wei Xuanxuan was very powerful. Lin Yi had seen a lot of things, and he could tell with just a glance. This woman in front of him was definitely not a vase, but rather a very wise and astute person. Similar to Yun Shuang.
"The Bao family and the Wei family belong to the same eight small families. The relationship between them can only be considered average. They didn't interact with each other during normal days, so I don't know what they intend to do. I don't believe that this is a coincidence, but I don't understand their intentions. Also, is this Bao Qingshui's own intention, or..."
Wei Guotao frowned.
If it was Bao Qingshui's idea, then this matter would be easy to handle. They just had to find a way to get it back. If it was the Bao family's idea... It would be difficult to settle this matter. This meant that the Bao family had the intention to make things difficult for the Wei family. Although the Wei family wouldn't be afraid, this wouldn't be a good thing.
"Ask your brother to contact him. Tell him that he is unwilling to accept his loss. He wants to compete with Bao Qingshui once more and ask him to place the bet as Emperor Jade."
Lin Yi said faintly, "We just need to test him."
"Then let's do as Mr. Lin Yi says."
...
In a certain luxurious bar in the provincial capital.
"Young Master Cui, I really don't understand. What's the use of this piece of broken jade? But I've helped you get it now. You have to give me the limited-edition racing car I want."
A young man in gorgeous clothes took a sip of wine, turned his head to the side, and said indifferently.
"Don't worry, I'll send someone to deliver it to you soon."
The person opposite the young man smiled and held a dark green jade the size of a palm in his hand. The corner of his mouth curled up slightly. There was a profound meaning in his smile, "You should know that my Cui family is in the jade business. This thing might not be of any use to you people, but to my Cui family... It's very useful. Of course, I have to think of a way to get it. "
If Lin Yi was here, he would definitely be able to recognize him. This man was the young master of the Cui family, Cui Kai.
Ever since he found out that Lin Yi was looking for the Emperor Jade, he had immediately contacted his circle of friends. Knowing that the Wei family in the provincial capital had once obtained an Emperor Jade, Cui Kai began to ponder. He felt that Lin Yi's purpose of going to the provincial capital was most likely for this Emperor Jade.
He did not know what this thing was used for, but he could tell from the actions of Lin Yi and the Yun family. To Lin Yi, the Emperor Jade must be very important. This was also the reason why Cui Kai insisted on finding a way to get the Emperor Jade. He also had friends in the provincial capital, and that was this Second Young Master Bao, Bao Qingshui. Through the latter's channels, he got the Emperor Jade from the silkpants young master of the Wei family as he wished. It could be said that he was in a very good mood.
"Second Young Master, Young Master Wei expressed his dissatisfaction and wants to have another bet with you. However, he asked you to use the Emperor Jade as the bet."
At this moment, a beautiful woman walked over and said, "This is news from the Wei family."
“ Oh? "
Bao Qingshui raised his eyebrows and looked at the Emperor Jade in Cui Kai's hand thoughtfully. He then smiled and said, "Interesting. Since he wants to compete, let's hold another match. This time, hehe..."
