Chapter Forty-Eight: Qiao Yin Didn't Recognize Him!
When Huo Junyao woke up, the sky was already dark, he lifted the quilt and sat up violently, and found that there was no one else on the bed except himself. It was as if he had been in a dream, and only a glimmer of bright red on the white sheets silently told him that what had happened last night was not a dream.
Last night, he proved his physical strength and endurance frantically after experiencing love for the first time, and the girl was obviously the same as him, it was the first time, and every movement was jerky and clumsy. He couldn't see the girl's appearance clearly, only that the girl's skin was very smooth and delicate.
Huo Junyao stood barefoot on the carpet next to the bed, he didn't know what he stepped on under his feet, he was in pain, and lowered his head to pick it up, it was a bracelet inlaid with sapphires.
When Xiao Zuo rushed back with the doctor, Huo Junyao looked through the surveillance video of the housekeeping department, and there was indeed the girl in the video. Unfortunately, from the time she appeared to the time she left, the girl always wore a hat on her head, which covered most of her face, and she could only see her long curly hair and thin figure, and there was no record of the girl on the computer registered in the housekeeping department, not even a record of a female guest who was similar to the girl's body.
Huo Junyao found the well-known jewelry designer Eric according to the mark on the bracelet that the girl dropped, Eric saw at a glance that the bracelet was designed by him, he only remembered that he gave this bracelet to a girl, although the girl was dressed very ordinary, but he was sure that if he could see the girl again, he would definitely be able to recognize it.
The girl's clue was broken when she arrived at Eric, and the girl's name, appearance, and identity became a mystery, just like the world had evaporated, no matter how Huo Junyao looked for it, he couldn't find it........
Huo Junyao sat quietly at the desk and thought about everything that had happened, holding one lit cigarette after another between his fingers, in the ashtray on the desk, countless cigarette butts and gray-white cigarette ash were mixed together, and under the dim light of the desk lamp, the smoke was swirling, and the smell was very choking.
Someone knocked on the door outside the suite, Huo Junyao extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand, opened the drawer and put the wooden box on the table in.
The door opened, Xiao Zuo flashed into the door, and there was no Eric behind him: "Mr. Huo, I have arranged a hotel for Eric, this is the mobile phone he took the photo of." ”
Xiao Zuo, the personal assistant and bodyguard, didn't have to say that it was so late, for Huo Junyao's sake, he didn't bring Eric back, only brought Eric's mobile phone back.
Huo Junyao took the mobile phone, and pressed his fingers on the mobile phone again and again, which was enough to show that he was eager and a little nervous at this time.
In the screen of the mobile phone, a slightly dark photo appeared, the girl that Eric said was turning around and talking to a man behind her, under the high beam of a passing car, the girl's face was very clear, this girl was .........
"Qiao Yin!?" Huo Junyao's dark eyes contracted violently.
Is there a mistake? How could that girl from four years ago be her?
Huo Junyao looked at Xiao Zuo and asked, "Are Eric sure you didn't recognize the wrong person?"
Xiao Zuo's expression was in a trance, and he replied stumblingly: "No....That's right, I asked specifically when I asked Eric for the phone, and Eric said that it would definitely not be wrong." Eric also said something at the time, he said that the girl looked very ordinary four years ago, but she was actually very beautiful, and now her appearance has changed even more. ”
Holding Eric's phone, Huo Junyao thought that according to Xiao Zuo's previous investigation, Qiao Yin went to the United States six years ago to study at Harvard, with a double master's degree in architectural design and business administration, and Harvard's business school is located in downtown Boston!
Huo Junyao's thoughts in his mind became clearer and clearer, Qiao Yin's appearance in the guest room upstairs of the bar was a complete coincidence, she should have drunk a lot of wine in the bar and wanted to go to the guest room to rest, at that time, Qiao Yin was so drunk that she could barely tell the difference between southeast and northwest, and she kept muttering words that she didn't understand, and it was normal to go to the wrong room.
No wonder, no wonder he didn't reject his closeness to Qiao Yin, and even had a normal erotic reaction without any medicinal power and alcohol, his body had already recognized her!
So, does Qiao Yin know everything that happened that night?
From the first time I saw Qiao Yin who appeared unexpectedly at Old Man Qiao's birthday banquet, to the later wine fight with Zhou Shaoqing, the Liuyun Pavilion teahouse to negotiate transactions, and the cloak for Qiao Yin with his own hands, the opening of the shooting range, the announcement in front of Huo Wanting's tomb, and the amazement at the auction, one by one, Huo Junyao can be sure that Qiao Yin did not recognize him!
Since it was best if he didn't recognize it, Huo Junyao decided not to let Qiao Yin know until Qiao Yin didn't have a deep affection for him........
Qiao Yin, who returned home, sat in her room and looked at the ring in a daze, she hadn't told her grandfather about the "Bright Star" appearing at the auction.
The blue diamond on the "Brilliant Star" was first discovered in South Africa more than 20 years ago, and the blue diamond first appeared in front of people in an auction house in Switzerland, and then changed hands several times before it was purchased by Qiao Mucheng at a high price, and set in a platinum ring as a wedding gift to his wife Chu Yun.
Qiao Yin put the "Bright Star" in her hand, and looked at it carefully, this was her mother Chu Yun's favorite jewelry back then, which disappeared for more than 20 years, and finally returned to Qiao's house and returned to her hands.
Stroking the ring, the tears in Qiao Yin's eyes slipped down drop by drop.
Qiao Yin, who had not slept all night, went downstairs to the company the next day with two dark circles under her eyes, and Lu Jiaming called her in advance to tell her to bring a "bright star".
Pushing open the door of the president's office, I saw Qiao Chu and Lu Jiaming standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
"Brother Jiaming, hey, when did the eldest brother come back, why didn't he come home?"
Qiao Chu heard Lu Jiaming talk about the ring, and ran back from the United States early in the morning.
"He came back on the first plane. Lu Jiaming turned around and answered for Qiao Chu.
Qiao Chu walked back to the sofa and sat down: "I heard Jia Ming say, you shocked the audience at yesterday's charity auction?"
Qiao Yin playfully raised her eyebrows at Qiao Chu and asked, "Do you also believe what Brother Jiaming said?"
Lu Jiaming also sat next to Qiao Chu and laughed lowly.
"My friendship with Jiaming for more than 20 years, in addition to our own family, I believe him the most, as long as he says it, I believe it. Qiao Chu said with certainty.
Qiao Yin shook her head and said in the tone of Old Man Qiao: "It's a pity, Brother Jia Ming is not a female doll, if it were, Grandpa would have helped you marry Brother Jia Ming a long time ago." ”
Qiao Chu and Lu Jiaming both looked at Qiao Yin speechlessly, this is what Old Man Qiao often says, and they are very familiar with it.
"Oh nan, let's get down to business, show me that ring. "Jokes are jokes, Qiao Chu will not forget to get down to business.
Qiao Yin took out the brocade box from her bag, pouted and said, "I knew that there must be something wrong with you when you came back, you don't care about me at all, don't tell others that you are my eldest brother in the future!"
"Is this girl ..... or mine?" Qiao Chu opened the brocade box as he spoke.
Qiao Chu took the ring and looked at it for a long time without speaking, Qiao Yin was anxious: "Big brother, what do you see for such a long time?"
Qiao Chu put the ring back in the brocade box, and said with a smile: "Silly girl, what can be seen on the ring, besides, how many years has it been?"
"Then what are you watching for a long time?"
Qiao Chu's voice suddenly lowered: "I'm thinking, after my parents had an accident, who took this ring?"
After Qiao Mucheng and Chu Yun had a car accident, things were scattered all over the scene, and when the police arrived, they found that the person was no longer saved, but when they finally counted their belongings, only this ring was missing.
Under normal circumstances, there are only two possibilities: one is that it was taken away by the murderer, and the other is that the people passing by were interested in getting rich, and the ring was picked up or taken directly from Chu Yun's hand, because the accident location is very remote, there is no surveillance video and eyewitnesses at all. In the end, the police came to the conclusion that it was probably the second type, because no cash was found among the things scattered at the scene.
Lu Jiaming thought for a while, and said thoughtfully: "There will definitely be a record of the auction company's acquisition of this ring, and it would be much easier to know whose hand this ring was." ”
Qiao Chu and Qiao Yin both looked at Lu Jiaming at the same time, this is indeed a solution.
Lu Jiaming patted Qiao Chu's shoulder: "Leave this matter to me, although your identity is easy to use, but you don't have my wide connections." ”
Qiao Chu did not deny what Lu Jiaming said, although the Lu family is not as good as the Qiao family, but the Lu family is also a well-known family in City A, and Lu Jiaming has been in charge of the Qiao family's two companies for a long time, and he has many more friends in business and personal than Qiao Chu.
Qiao Chu handed the brocade box back to Qiao Yin and said, "Nannan, you haven't seen your parents since you were a child, and this ring can be regarded as fulfilling your wish for many years, so you should be by your parents' side." ”
Qiao Yin has a soft spot for jewelry such as sapphire and blue diamonds, the people of the Qiao family know it, and Lu Jiaming also knows it, so every year when Qiao Yin celebrates her birthday, as long as the gift she receives is jewelry, it must be a sapphire and blue diamond.
Holding the brocade box, Qiao Yin asked Qiao Chu, "Then do you want to tell grandpa?"
"Don't look at grandpa is old, in fact, he is shrewd, and he can't hide it, so he can say whatever he wants. Qiao Chu replied.
After speaking, Qiao Chu picked up the clothes on the sofa and said, "I'll go to Qiao's trade side to have a look." "He hasn't been back in a while, and he's going to have to show up at the trading company.
Qiao Chu and Lu Jiaming left the office, Qiao Yin took out the "Bright Star" from the brocade box and put it on her hand, and the sunlight made the blue light emitted by the "Bright Star" even more dazzling.
