Eight or nine o'clock in the morning.
When Luo Heng woke up, Ma San was no longer in the house.
Today I plan to go to Zhulong City to see the situation.
Ma San and others were sitting in the living room.
"Everyone is here, what are we talking about?"
Luo Heng said hello casually, walked to the sofa and sat down next to Ma San.
Gong Liu glanced at him and handed over a newspaper: "Take a look, the fifth lady just gave it to us."
Luo Heng took the newspaper, and on the spread page, it was last night that there was an explosion at Paramount Nightclub.
It was reported that Xiang Feitian, the inspector of the French Concession, died on the spot.
Luo Heng curled his lips, put the newspaper aside, and said with a smile: "It's a joke that someone like Xiang Feitian is called the criminal nemesis..."
Gong Liu didn't smile, and asked with a worried tone: "Did you do it?"
Last night, Xiang Feitian was killed when Luo Heng rescued Ma Zongri.
How could it be such a coincidence?
Luo Heng didn't hide it and said with a smile: "That's because their patrol room's bomb disposal skills are not good enough. You can't blame me..."
Ma San shook his head: "Okay, let's not say these words.
"Now that we have almost finished our affairs in Shanghai, should we consider when to leave?"
Luo Heng frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "It's okay to leave first. It's not a problem to live here forever."
At this time, Xiao Wu came down the stairs.
Hearing Luo Heng's words, he rubbed his eyebrows and said softly: "Mr. Luo, there's no need to be in such a hurry. It's too windy outside now, so it's hard for you to go out.
"I happened to have an appointment with a high-ranking official's wife to play mahjong today to see if I can think of a way to ask her for help."
Luo Heng chuckled: "It's causing trouble for Miss Fifth."
Xiao Wu smiled lightly, quickly calmed down his expression, changed his shoes and hurried out.
There was always some worry on her brows, and Luo Heng thought it was because he was hiding the news of Du Guosheng's death in his heart.
And hiding sadness in front of outsiders.
Several strangers were still living in her home, which put too much pressure on her...
I was silently calculating in my heart, just because of the friendship of taking in this time, I have to be nicer to this fifth lady in the future...
Her husband had just died, and she was so beautiful, so she couldn't be left a widow...
After a while there was the sound of a car starting outside the door.
After Zhang Ma closed the door, she returned to her room.
Luo Heng then turned to Ma San and said, "We can't point at her, we have to find another way."
Ma San nodded: "Indeed, although the news of Du Guosheng's death has not been leaked yet, it will not be hidden for long, and it is hard to say how much energy she will have.
"Besides, it's best not to involve others in our affairs."
Luo Heng also meant this.
I entered Paramount yesterday and many people saw me.
Although there is no public information in the newspaper.
But the patrol room must have its own information.
Luo Heng suddenly thought of Crescent Moon Red.
That woman went to Paramount with him yesterday. It was no longer appropriate for her to stay in a place like the Peace Hotel.
But I can't bring her here.
After all, this is Xiaowu's home, and it's quite embarrassing to bring women here all the time.
"You guys are still waiting here, I'll go out first."
An explanation was given to Ma San and others.
Luo Heng quietly went out.
He walked on the street with his hat brim pressed down, continued to detour for a while, found an intersection, then hailed a rickshaw and headed to the Peace Hotel.
In fact, the real name of the Peace Hotel should be the Chinachem Hotel, which was named after Ellis, a British Jew. Victor. Built by Sassoon.
Due to its luxurious decoration and location in the most prosperous area of Shanghai, it has the reputation of "the first floor in the Far East".
At this time, the public security in Shanghai was chaotic, and spies from various countries were operating frequently.
In addition, many celebrities and dignitaries like to live here when they come to Shanghai.
It is said to be the safest hotel in Shanghai and is nicknamed the Peace Hotel.
In fact, many of those celebrities and dignitaries came to Shanghai with different purposes.
This is also the largest intelligence trading center in the Far East.
In dark back alleys, it is common for several bodies to appear inexplicably early in the morning...
When Luo Heng arrived at the door, he realized that he had been worrying too much.
The sentries standing guard at the door all look like ghosts with deep eyebrows and high eyes.
Never mind whether these people are real ghosts or mixed-blood fake ghosts.
Even if those monkey soldiers recruited by Annan in the concession patrol house suspected Yue Yahong, they would not dare to come here to arrest people.
But now that I'm here, it's better to meet that woman Yue Yahong.
Stepped into the lobby.
The welcoming guest who looked like a ghost came forward, and Luo Heng suddenly thought of a question.
That is, I only knew that Yue Yahong lived here, but I didn't ask about the floor or room number.
Looking at the seven or eight-story building in front of me, I can see that there are at least hundreds of rooms. How can I find them?
Of course money leads the way.
The spirit sank into the space of the backpack, the hands retracted into the cuffs, and more than a dozen ocean dollars appeared in the palm of the hand.
But Luo Heng discovered another problem.
That means I don’t have much money...
Nima, while rescuing the Shuangxi sisters, I found some cash from the landlord's house.
When we were in Echeng, because we were concerned about arms and guns, we only found the two most valuable diamonds and left without searching them carefully.
In Foshan, all the gold bars were given to the senior brother to take him to Hong Kong to buy property.
He only left a little bit of the ocean.
I haven’t been in Shanghai for a long time, but I have spent a lot of money.
Now there is actually no cash in the backpack space.
Luo Heng had one more task.
Before leaving Shanghai, the diamonds must be sold.
Foshan is a small place, so getting rid of such valuables is definitely not as convenient as Shanghai.
Make a mental note of this.
He stretched out a hand to the guest in a rather gentlemanly manner. The guest was startled, and then stepped forward to shake his hands.
The ocean in Luo Heng's palm quietly fell into the opponent's hands.
"I want to ask you something. There is a famous opera actress named Yueya Hongyue. Which room does he live in?"
Luo Heng directly stated his purpose.
The receptionist glanced around subconsciously: "We cannot reveal the guest's information."
Luo Heng sneered: "I am her friend, you can take me to see her to confirm in person."
The welcoming guest smiled and said: "Sir, you are joking..."
Luo Heng narrowed his eyes slightly, reached out and patted the other person, and there was a small gold ring between his fingers.
Covering the angle with his body, he waved it in front of the opponent and flicked his fingers.
The ring fell accurately into the other person's breast pocket.
"Don't be nervous, is this enough?"
The receptionist's expression changed, and he reached out and touched his breast pocket.
He whispered: "Boss Yue had already checked out and left early in the morning..."
Luo Heng frowned: "Do you know where you went?"
Yingbin shook his head: "How could I know this?"
As he said this, he turned his head to look at the door and saw that another guest came in.
He immediately went up to him, put Luo Heng aside and ignored him.
Luo Heng narrowed his eyes.
Good guy, I was actually fooled by this fake ghost guy.
A playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he walked out.
When passing by the welcoming guest, Luo Heng pretended to be familiar with him and patted him on the back.
"That's it for today. If you have any news, please tell me at any time..."
After saying that, he ignored the confused welcoming guests and strode out the door.
Luo Heng didn't care about money, but this guy was too greedy.
Just asking for news and giving her a few dollars was not enough. She actually gave herself another gold ring even though she knew that Yue Yahong had already checked out and left.
How can money be so easy to get?
The shot he just took seemed ordinary, but in fact Luo Heng's hand contained hidden power and penetrated this guy's body.
The energy is contained but not released, remaining within the opponent's body.
After a while, this guy will suffer.
In the past, when my father was still alive, he once told the original owner.
There are brilliant masters of Anjin in the world who can slap people.
The other party didn't feel anything at the time and returned home to live a normal life.
After three days, hidden injuries will occur, internal organs will rupture, and it will be difficult to treat with medicine or stone.
Luo Heng can't achieve that magical level yet.
But it's just to teach this greedy guy a lesson, as long as the other party is not a master who also understands the dark power.
He won't notice it at all. Whenever he wants to get close to a woman in the future, his waist will be in unbearable pain. If he can't find a master with great secret power to help him, he will just be a monk with a pure heart for the rest of his life...
Yue Yahong must have seen the news in the newspaper about the explosion of Paramount and Xiang Feitian's death.
Worried about his own safety, he fled early.
Luo Heng didn't know where to find her when he wanted to hide.
I can only put this matter aside for the time being.
Since we have already gone out, we might as well sell the diamonds first.
Luo Heng turned his hand and hailed a rickshaw.
Maybe it's because this area is a bustling area, and the rickshaws are also quite high-end.
It is somewhat similar to the tricycle that rides a donkey upside down in the Northeast in later generations.
The only difference is that the driver sits in the front, and the truck body at the rear is converted into a seat.
Luo Heng jumped into the car: "Take me to find a jewelry store, one with good reputation and strong strength..."
The driver nodded and said, "Sir, please sit down..."
He kicked up the car hard and left the Peace Hotel quickly.
Pedal-driven cars are indeed much faster than human power.
After a while, he stopped in front of a jewelry store.
"Sir, this jewelry store is famous throughout Shanghai. It will definitely meet your requirements."
The driver turned back and said to Luo Heng.
Luo Heng looked up and saw a plaque hanging on the door.
It actually has a store name in both languages.
No. 1166 Jing'an Temple, the Chinese name of Moonlight Bazaar Jewelry Store, there is a row of floral letters next to it, Luo Heng did not take a closer look.
This name is quite romantic.
Looking at the jewelry store again, two foreigners walked out of it.
I was sure that the quality would be good, and the owner was most likely run by a foreigner.
Luo Hengsheng got out of the car and threw a piece of ocean to the driver to send him away.
Stepped into the jewelry store.
Then I saw a ghost couple picking out jewelry at the counter.
After Luo Heng came in, the clerk wearing a straight vest at the counter smiled at him.
Asked in English: "Sir, how can I help you?"
Luo Heng frowned.
He understands English. In fact, he was a programmer in his previous life and passed CET-6 in college.
But it still feels a little awkward.
This is fucking Shanghai, our own place, and we still have to communicate in bird language, which makes Luo Heng unhappy.
He said directly in Chinese: "I'll talk to your boss or the big shopkeeper..."
The clerk was startled, and the smile on his lips dropped.
He shook his head and said in English: "I'm sorry, sir, we..."
Luo Heng was so keen, he could clearly detect a trace of disdain in his eyes.
This guy definitely understands Chinese.
This made Luo Heng even more unhappy.
He interrupted this guy directly and said: "Let your boss come out, I'd better talk to your boss directly..."
He stretched out his hand and waved it in front of the clerk.
A dazzling diamond flashed away.
The clerk's eyes narrowed slightly.
Finally, he changed into a very awkward Shanghainese dialect: "Of course sir, please come with me..."
As he spoke, he pointed the direction of the stairs with one hand.
Luo Heng smiled softly.
Follow the clerk up the stairs.
Turning the corner, you can directly see the second floor through the carved handrails.
There is a plaque on the ground with the words "Peng Cheng Wan Li" written in gold.
The font is vigorous and powerful, obviously written by everyone. I don’t know if it was given by a Chinese who wanted to curry favor with the ghost guy.
Luo Heng secretly pouted, Ni Ma Gui Lao just doesn't know how to appreciate good things.
Plaques are usually hung on the wall, but here they are leaning on the ground. The guy who sent the plaque was playing the piano with his heart.
Went up to the second floor.
The exotic decorations that caught his eye almost gave Luo Heng an illusion.
It was as if he had already left the country at this time.
Beside a row of lattice windows, a middle-aged man with sparse hair sat in front of the workbench.
The clerk stepped forward and whispered: "Mr. Sadhudin, this gentleman has business to discuss with you in person..."
The middle-aged man looked up.
He took off the monocle from his eyes and looked at Luo Heng curiously.
Luo Heng was not polite and walked directly to sit opposite him.
Sayouding said to the clerk: "You go down first."
The clerk nodded, turned and went downstairs.
Then he looked at Luo Heng and asked with a smile: "Sir, do you want to see me? Is there anything I can do for you?"
Luo Heng looked around and saw that the second floor was quite empty, except for the screen behind the ghost guy.
There are almost no Chinese elements visible.
Most of the decorations are hung on the walls, and the furniture is mostly no more than waist high.
There are basically no hiding places.
Make sure there is no one else on the entire second floor.
Luo Heng then stretched out a hand and slowly spread it in front of the ghost man.
Boom!
A diamond the size of a pigeon egg fell on the workbench in front of Gui Lao.
Sadhudin's eyes were instantly attracted.
He looked up at Luo Heng in surprise, then took the magnifying glass on the side and observed carefully.
Luo Heng was not in a hurry. He sat on the chair and looked at the decorations on the table casually.
Sayoudin watched for several minutes.
Then he raised his head and said with a much more enthusiastic attitude: "Sir, your diamond is really a flawless work of art, so beautiful."
Luo Heng curled his lips. His only concept of things like gems was how much they were worth.
Sayoudin didn't mind Luo Heng's attitude at all.
"Sir, what kind of jewelry do you plan to customize?"
Luo Heng frowned and said, "You have decided what to do, so I will ask you, how much is this diamond worth?"
Sayodin was stunned.
After a moment, he asked uncertainly: "You mean... you want to sell this diamond?"
Luo Heng nodded: "If the price you offer is right, I will sell it to you."
This was probably the first time that Sayoudin met a guest like Luo Heng.
He was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said: "Sir, the value of your diamond is too high. If you want to sell it, you should go to an auction house, not a jewelry store like mine..."
Luo Heng was stunned: "You won't accept it?"
How could he understand this?
In my previous life, I was just an overtime worker. I only knew that many jewelry stores also did recycling business.
Sayoudin shook his head: "We also buy jewelry, but yours is too valuable. According to my estimate, it is worth at least one million. Unless I sell the entire jewelry store, I can't afford it at all... "
Luo Heng straightened his body.
Now I feel like the Gui Lao guy in front of me is pretty good.
Putting away the impatience he had felt since entering the store, he asked kindly: "Mr. Nasa, can you tell me, if I want to sell this diamond, which auction house is better for me to go to?"
Sayoudin pondered: "There are many auction houses that auction jewelry in Shanghai, but for jewelry auctions like this, it is best to have an exhibition in advance to attract customers who are interested in buying.
"The jewelry exhibition in Shanghai just ended a while ago, and the next one won't be until next year."
Luo Heng frowned, do you have to wait until next year?
I don't have that much time to wait.
Sayoudin added: "If you are in urgent need of money, sir, I have thought of a way, maybe you can give it a try."
"Oh? Please tell me." Luo Heng became interested.
"A few days ago, a distinguished guest entrusted us to buy a six-carat diamond from the last jewelry exhibition and make it into a ring. Judging from his meaning, he seemed to be a little dissatisfied that the diamond was too small, but Shanghai I can’t find anything bigger on the market yet…”
Luo Heng understood what he meant.
He smiled and said, "Okay, if that customer is willing to buy it, I can sell it to him..."
But in my heart, I just thought that I could get the money as soon as possible.
Even if it's a little cheaper, it's better than keeping it in hand.
In Luo Heng's eyes, these things are just slightly prettier glass beads.
