Wang Jun was stunned when he saw the necklace.
The quality and luster of this jade were comparable to the icy jade imperial green pendant his mother had treasured.
That pendant had cost tens of millions. Of course, it wasn't his mother's own money.
How much material would it take to make this necklace?
At least tens of millions, yet this foolish young man had pawned it for a mere two hundred thousand.
He immediately took out a million and bought it back from Tiger.
Although this Tiger had been his subordinate before, he was now like a phoenix with clipped wings, unable to soar. Wang Jun had to spend money to get it from Tiger.
Who would have thought this foolish young man would return, wanting to redeem the necklace?
Xiao Mingliang was dumbfounded when he heard this.
He couldn't believe his ears.
Thirty million?
What did thirty million mean?
He had only ever seen two hundred thousand at most, which he saw when he received it from Tiger.
After paying off ten thousand in usurious interest, the remaining money was lost as quickly as it arrived.
He had to hold two hundred thousand with both hands; wouldn't thirty million require several people to carry?
"Handsome sir, as long as there's a price, it's negotiable. But I need to see if the necklace is really in your hands first," Xu Lili said to Wang Jun.
Wang Jun took out a necklace from the side pocket of his down jacket and threw it onto the mahjong table without a word, continuing to play mahjong.
"Handsome sir, isn't the price you're asking too high?
Although my sister's necklace is an engagement gift, it's only worth a few hundred thousand.
Asking for thirty million is outrageous, isn't it?"
"Miss, are you trying to fool me, or are you the one who doesn't know its worth?
Do you honestly think thirty million is not a high price?"
"You, how can you be so rude?" Xu Lili was so angry she was panting.
"I'm saying a few extra words because you're pretty.
If you can't come up with thirty million, don't babble here. Get lost."
Wang Jun said as he pushed over the mahjong tiles.
"Hu, self-drawn pure color dragon. Two thousand per person. My luck is great today."
Seeing that Wang Jun was ignoring her, Xu Lili quickly went out to call Lin Ziqi.
"Qiqi, I met someone who knows its worth. He's asking for thirty million. Otherwise, no discussion."
"What kind of person? Can you quietly take a picture and send it to me?"
"Wait a moment, this person is playing mahjong. I'll go up and take a photo for you."
After speaking, Xu Lili turned and went back into the room.
Xiao Mingliang was still looking at Wang Jun with longing eyes.
Wang Jun completely ignored the two of them, continuing to play mahjong.
Xu Lili quietly took a picture and sent it to Lin Ziqi.
A moment later, Lin Ziqi's call came through.
"You can come back. We don't want the necklace anymore."
"Why? We'd still be making a profit even if we paid him thirty million."
"It's not about the money. You don't know the full situation. Call Mingliang back first."
"Okay, we'll be right back."
Xu Lili returned to the room and called Xiao Mingliang out.
"Let's go, we're going back."
"Going back? We don't want sister's necklace anymore?"
"Do you have that much money? What will you use to get it if you don't have money?
Let's go back, time is running out. We can't delay your sister's wedding."
As Xu Lili spoke, she went to get the car.
"Miss, why are you leaving? Don't you want that necklace anymore?" the bald man asked loudly.
"That boss is asking for the moon. We can't afford that much money, so we have to reluctantly give up."
"How about I try to negotiate the price down a bit?"
"Never mind. We have other things to do."
Xu Lili ignored the bald man and took Xiao Mingliang back.
"This woman is really hot. She must be amazing in bed,"
the bald man said to a young waiter who was pouring tea beside him.
"Brother Tiger, you're the boss around here. Isn't it easy to get that woman?" the young man flattered.
"You know how to talk. I won't charge you for the tea."
"Thank you, Brother Tiger."
As he spoke, he cursed inwardly, thinking how boastful he was, and how stingy. He said he wouldn't charge for tea, but he never failed to collect his fees.
Lin Ziqi forwarded the photo she received to Guo Xuyang, sending a message along with it.
"Yangzi, Wang Jun is back. He also scammed Lili out of a necklace today."
Guo Xuyang was chatting with several company managers in the living room of Guo Xuhui's house when he suddenly received a photo from Lin Ziqi.
When he opened it, he saw it was Wang Jun, who had insulted Lin Ziqi before. He then went out to call Lin Ziqi.
"Ziqi, what's going on here?"
Lin Ziqi told Guo Xuyang everything, from Xiao Mingliang gambling, pawning the necklace, to what Wang Jun said when they went to redeem it.
"So that guy is still up to no good?
Send me his location. I'll go check out that place when I get back."
"Lili knows the location. I'll share it with you later."
"Okay. Have Brother Hui and the others arrived yet?"
"They should be here soon. Manager Wu just called and said they've exited the expressway. They'll be here in about twenty minutes at most."
"You guys focus on your business. Don't worry about Wang Jun's matter."
Guo Xuyang instructed and hung up the phone.
Less than a minute later, Lin Ziqi sent the location.
Guo Xuyang looked up and saw Wang Jun still playing mahjong. The bald man called Tiger stood watching from the side.
Guo Xuyang directly hypnotized Tiger and ordered him to put the necklace on the mahjong table into Wang Jun's bag and to break Wang Jun's neck.
Tiger, who had been standing by watching a few people play mahjong, suddenly reached out and grabbed the necklace from the table.
Wang Jun glared at him, but Tiger seemed not to see him and directly put the necklace into the side pocket of his military coat.
"What the hell do you mean? You dare to snatch my stuff?"
Wang Jun was furious. He stood up and pointed at Tiger's nose, shouting.
Tiger didn't bother arguing with him. He grabbed Wang Jun's outstretched finger and forcefully bent it backward.
Wang Jun jumped up and shouted, "Ouch, damn it, it's broken."
Tiger didn't give Wang Jun a chance to breathe and immediately wrapped his arm around Wang Jun's neck.
The others playing mahjong finally reacted and rushed forward to intervene.
But Tiger's arm was like a steel clamp, tightly strangling Wang Jun's neck. Wang Jun's face turned red, and his eyes were bloodshot.
No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't pry open Tiger's arm. They could only watch as Wang Jun was strangled to death by Tiger.
One of them secretly dialed the police.
No one expected Tiger to be so ruthless as to strangle Wang Jun to death.
While Tiger was strangling Wang Jun, Guo Xuyang directly retrieved the necklace from Tiger's military coat pocket.
As Wang Jun gasped his last breath, Guo Xuyang restored Tiger's consciousness.
