I felt guilty at the moment, and didn’t dare to take more.
I grabbed a few pieces of jewelry and stuffed them into my pocket, then quickly locked the safe.
After all, a bank only needs a casual inquiry to know that I’m an imposter, and could throw me in jail for theft.
I didn’t want to take that risk.
After locking the safe and turning around, I saw someone behind me also accessing a safe deposit box.
I sighed with relief, but I didn’t have the courage to open it again.
Anyway, these pieces of jewelry are enough to exchange for cash.
As soon as I walked out of the bank, Wenya chased after me, both of us sprinting like thieves.
Only when we were far from the bank did we dare to talk.
“How did it go? Did you get the jewelry?”
“Don’t talk. Let’s go!’
I quickly hailed a taxi and we both got in.
Wenya covered her mouth with her hand, doubling over with laughter,
“You’re so funny, your own money is making you as nervous as a robbery.” “If the bank finds out, the consequences are no different from robbery.”
“True…
1 didn’t linger with the jewelry. I took a taxi straight to a nearby pawnshop.
When I opened the jewelry, I was stunned.
I grabbed three things.
The Longevity Wealth Gold Lock, was a gift from my uncle to my daughter Xiaoyi when she was a hundred days old. She wore it as a child and only took it off to store it when she grew up.
The other was a gold bracelet for my son Zhenyi on his one-month birthday, I bought it myself.
The last one was my wedding ring.
The one Gu Yuanzhou put on me on our wedding day.
At this moment, the pawnshop clerk started asking,
“Miss, what do you want to pawn?”
“Just this!”
1 would never pawn my children’s keepsakes.
The only thing I could possibly pawn was this diamond ring.
Luckily, the diamond ring has a good color and weight, and it’s a rare natural diamond from South Africa.
“How much money do you want?”
“Three hundred thousand!”
“Miss, diamonds aren’t worth much now. You’re asking for too much, how about…
“My husband bought it for three million, now I’m giving it to you at a tenth of the price, I’ll give you ten minutes, if you don’t want it, I’ll leave.”
I couldn’t be bothered to haggle with him anymore.
The clerk was still hesitant,
“Do you have an invoice?”
I started to count, “Ten, nine, eight…”
I only counted to three and the clerk hastily went inside to call their boss out.
After one look at the diamond through a magnifying glass, the boss decisively ordered the clerk,
“Give her the money!’
Three hundred thousand cash, filling up a large backpack!
As we walked out of the pawn shop, Wenya couldn’t resist asking,
“Why didn’t they do a bank transfer?”
“Maybe their money comes from shady sources, a bank transfer would be easy to trace.” “Oh, when are you planning to redeem it?”
“Redeem?”
I laughed lightly, but my smile was a bit pale.
“Maybe if one day, Gu Yuanzhou buries himself for me, I might redeem it!”
1 still remember, the promise Gu Yuanzhou made to me.
If I die one day, he would follow me!
I’m watching him now, to see if he will really keep his promise. If he truly loves me, I will find a way to redeem it.
Otherwise, if it was all a deceit, this diamond ring would be meaningless.
Afterward, I met with Lawyer Su Peisheng, “Lawyer Su, I need your help to get someone out – her!”
1 gave Zhong Ye’s information to Su Peisheng.
Though Su Peisheng is not the top lawyer in A City, he has good connections in all the right places.
When we explained why we were here, he seemed to be a bit hesitant,
“Her… I have some impression of her, she didn’t do anything major, but she pissed someone off. They’re out to get her, and I can’t help with that.”
1 grabbed the backpack, unzipped it, and spilled the entire bag of money across his office floor.
He was stunned for five seconds, then his eyes lit up and he slammed his desk,
“For this sincerity of yours, I will take on this case.” Indeed, three hundred thousand!
It’s his annual salary, no one can resist this sincerity.
Things went smoothly, and an hour later, I welcomed the newly freed Zhong
Ye outside the police station.
Su Peisheng pointed at me and said to Zhong Ye,
“Miss, it’s thanks to her that you’re free again. Be sure to repay her; it’s like she’s your life- saving benefactor.”
Despite the hardship she’d endured, Zhong Ye was still glowing. She’s a smart woman. When she saw me, she said,
“What do you want?”
I handed her a cigarette, took out a lighter to light it for her,
“Nothing special, I just want to be friends with you!’
Zhong Ye took a deep drag of the cigarette and tapped me on the shoulder,
“l like the way you talk. I’ll be your friend. But I don’t like owing people, you can tell me straight out!”
“l do have a small favor, something I need you to handle!”
Zhong Ye is a very intelligent woman, and she accepted my request right on the spot.
Next, I waited in the company for the results…
These past two days, Annie had been keeping a close eye on me.
It seemed like no matter where I went, I could always see her malicious eyes.
I didn’t bother with her.
I focused on my tasks at hand.
Whenever I had some free time, I kept thinking about how to find Wu Jun!
On the third morning, as soon as I arrived at the company,
Annie was waiting at the door.
“You said you could handle it, right? President Wang is about to sign a contract with Tianjiao! Hurry up and pack your things and leave.” I glanced at my phone, there was still an hour before the signing.
“No rush, I can make it!”
“Ha, you really are stubborn, fine, I want to see what you can do.”
I ignored Annie.
Instead, I followed her gaze towards a man in a black suit in the distance.
The man in the suit was Gu Yuanzhou.
He seemed to be observing me as well.
My phone suddenly rang. I looked at it, it was Zhong Ye sending me something. It’s worth the three hundred thousand I paid for, what a treasure..
