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 a black pottery jar held by Juliet, and placed them up along Ling Yuan's spine. These are no ordinary leeches, they are actually pure white with a golden pattern on them, which looks very strange. As soon as those 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 their whole bodies turned a dark green color. When these leeches swelled to the size of When the little sausages came out, they fell off Ling Yuan's body, as if he was dead. Master Long Lit's face became serious.
"Master, is my father okay? Has the voodoo 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." There is a way 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 forever."
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 smiled 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 There is never a shortage of money. I am willing to stay. Even if you don't even care about three meals a day, I will not leave. If I don't want to stay, you can give me a gold mountain, but you can't keep me, old Longlite. 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, they will be solved as soon as possible. Li Liang was reluctant to let go of his old brother and 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 pay attention to this trick and refused directly. Ling Hao was very upset, but he had no choice but to leave with Annie, thinking about three things. He came over every once in a while to take a look. Even if he didn't see anyone outside, 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 things. Anne had managed to consign them all into the country. There were some weird things in them. If There is definitely no chance of clearing the level normally, so you can only use some unconventional methods. The big truck brought two full cars, and this time the two-story building of the master and apprentice was filled with wooden shelves and bottles and cans, directly becoming the "Magic Laboratory" of "Hogwarts".
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. Almost all of those big bags, small bags, plastic bags, and tool boxes 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 and 17 mm in diameter, the approximate weight of one pearl is about 5 grams, and 100 kilograms is more than 20,000 pearls. Later, Zuo Pengfei used a vacuum cleaner to clean the "Pippi Shrimp", and it was all done Taking out a handful of pearls from the vacuum cleaner, it can be seen that there are really so many pearls that they are like dirt. These are wild natural pearls. According to a conservative estimate of the market price, one would cost about US$10,000, which means that this is a huge wealth of US$200 million.
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 was very familiar with these conch beads. His father had taught him a lot of this knowledge since he was a child, and he believed that this was the true inheritance of "pearl divers". My father has not awakened his bloodline, and has never even mentioned anything about the "Zhenhai Longhu". Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that his grandparents passed away when his father was four years old. My father grew up in a village of pearl divers eating hundreds of meals. , it is understandable to regard oneself as a descendant of pearl divers.
Kong Ke beads are produced in the body of the "Queen's snail". They are pink, mostly oval, and have flame patterns on the surface. The pearl yield 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 it has. Because of their rarity, they are basically traded in auction houses and are not sold at a fixed price. It is common to sell tens of thousands of dollars each. "Imperial Conch Pearls" are produced from "Conch Conch", one of the four famous conchs. Even the conch is so rare that it has become a protected animal, and its pearls are rare but hard to find. The Queen of England has one inlaid with this precious conch. Pearl brooches are deeply loved by her. In a recent auction, a 14-carat "Imperial Tang Guanlu Pearl" sold for a high price of US$1.89 million, which is definitely a treasure. "Meile beads" are the most famous. They are orange with some flame patterns. They are produced in the body of coconut snails. Because they are deeply loved by the royal family of a Southeast Asian country, they are also called "Dragon beads". They are currently on the market. There are only more than 200 jewelry-grade "Mile Pearls", and they are basically collected by European jewelry collectors. It is rare for a new one to be released. A 100.4-carat "Mile Pearl" was once auctioned on Hong Kong Island. The auction fetched a sky-high price of US$2.7 million, once setting 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$1.0-2.5 billion.
So, Anne needs to function well. In the new jewelry group, Ling Hao's team held 40% of the shares, and quickly acquired one of the best pearl jewelry finishing companies in Hong Kong, as well as one jewelry finishing company in Idar-Oberstein and Andwerp. factories, and began to open "specialty stores" in London, Paris, New York, Tokyo and other international cities. Various marketing plans have been implemented. Some gems and pearls have also been sent to the factory for fine processing, and the rest have been stored. If you enter the vault of a major bank in Hong Kong, you will be able to see profits within 3 months at the earliest. Ling Hao knew little about these high-end business methods and couldn't participate in many opinions. However, he believed in Anne and left these things to her. With the Rothschild family's endorsement, Ling Hao felt 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 inexplicably 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 curled her lips. Ever since she learned about Zhu Xin's existence, she had been particularly concerned about the woman who occupied the closest position next to Ling Hao. She was also concerned 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 culprit was arrested. "Interpol Red Notices" have been issued for a long time, but these transnational criminals are very cunning, and there are many people who have had arrest warrants 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 gradually settled down. It was not as raw and shy as when they first fell in love, but more like a couple who "knew everything without saying anything". There were not so many sticky love words, but they were still in love. They care about each other 360 degrees from every detail.
From the time he went to the Aegean Sea, Zhu Xin was aware of every move Ling Hao made. Anne's appearance was also known to Ling Hao. Although on the surface this was an "ordinary friend" introduced by the professor to help, he was helping to investigate criminals and was also a friend. Find a wizard to treat her father, and even start a company together. With a woman's keen intuition, Zhu Xin can 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. This emotionally dull boy was not the kind of man who would change his mind and have rich feelings, so she felt more at ease with Ling Hao. of. Zhuxin also has her own pride. It is her own and no one can take it away. If it is not hers, she cannot keep it even if she tries hard to keep it. She is not the kind of woman who ties up a man with tears and noise. Zhuxin is a wise girl. She understands very well that a man loves you because you are cute, not because 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. The personnel are mixed, even good and bad. The risk of leaking the 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 get away with it. 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 this trap." Into the dark night. The result I want this time is to destroy this evil 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 use hidden tricks, 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. We'll leave in 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.
