Chapter 051: Sky-high Gems
Anyone who knows a little about gemstones will know that rubies are the most valuable gemstones, and pigeon's blood is the most valuable of rubies. The same pigeonstone, with different shades of color, will naturally not be the same price.
Now the red stone that Yang Hongtao scanned with his soul power was obviously a top-grade pigeon's bloodstone, and the color was extremely thick, as if it was a ball of blood that could not be dissolved.
And the most rare thing is that there is no crack or flaw on the top and bottom of this gemstone. There is a saying in gemstones, called ten stones and nine cracks, and the more precious this ruby, the more prone it is to natural cracks. Because almost every natural ruby will have some flaws on it, it is not that a fractured gemstone is not valuable, but only that the less flawed the gemstone is, the more precious it is. Like the one hanging on Xin Yue's chest, at least under the scanning of Yang Hongtao's soul power, there were almost no shortcomings, then its value was already immeasurable, or it would be more accurate to call it a priceless treasure. If you have to set a price for this gem, then judging by Yang Hongtao's experience, if it is less than 500 million, it is absolutely impossible for anyone to be willing to sell it.
And this 500 million is just a very conservative estimate, after all, such a perfect quality ruby has never been seen before, so this gem is difficult to use the previous gem transaction records as a reference, if it is really auctioned at the world's top auctions, how much money can be auctioned, then only God knows!
Even if it is only 500 million, this is enough for the vast majority of criminals in the world to take risks for it, and even do not hesitate to pierce a hole in the sky. Therefore, Yang Hongtao has enough reason to believe that the terrorists on today's plane are very likely to be aiming for the superb pigeon's bloodstone on Xin Yue's neck. I think they knew in advance through some channel that Xin Yue, the mother-in-law, would take this priceless ruby to Kunming on this plane today, so they made preparations for hijacking the plane in advance.
For example, this time Xin Yue and her grandfather went to Kunming, before boarding and after getting off the plane, there will inevitably be a large number of company's security personnel to pick up and drop, and with the power of Braim Group, its security personnel will say that they don't bring a few real guys with them when picking up important directors of the group, which is simply impossible. Therefore, if those terrorists* who get the news want to rob this ruby, it is not a very ideal choice before or after Xinyue boards the plane or after getting off the plane, if the manpower is not very sufficient, or the weapons and equipment are not good enough, then the possibility of failure is too great. The hijacking is different, most of the planes have no armed flight attendants at all, but rely on strict airport security to control passengers to carry dangerous goods and weapons on board, so as long as the hijacking bandits have a way to bring weapons and guns to the plane, then the hijacking plan is equivalent to half of the success.
After determining the purpose of the terrorists, it did not bring Yang Hongtao any benefits of the real surname, but only made him understand that his dangerous surname has been increased several times again, because now he and Xin Yue are sitting together, and they are talking and laughing just now, and they are seen by people with hearts, they will inevitably think that he is also with Xin Yue, maybe he is still the bodyguard responsible for protecting Xin Yue and Ruby, so once those terrorists are ready to do it, maybe the first one will kill him first.
Cold sweat broke out on Yang Hongtao's forehead, knowing that it was impossible for him to stay out of the matter at this time. Originally, he also planned that if he really couldn't find the location of the terrorists in advance, and there was no perfect countermeasure, then after the terrorists suddenly attacked, he would simply keep a low profile to the end, and let the terrorists hijack the plane abroad.
But now he has no way out, he can't stand up now, shouting loudly that he and Xin Yue are not all the way, you want to snatch the ruby from her It doesn't matter to me, I will definitely not stop it, right?
Therefore, now Yang Hongtao can only use all means to get the terrorists out of the crowd first!
Time waits for no one, now that the plane has flown out of Dangyang Airport for a long time, God knows when those terrorists will do it, so Yang Hongtao doesn't care if others will be suspicious of him, so he pulled off his seat belt, stood up in a hurry, and walked quickly to the front of the cabin.
"Hello sir, is there anything I can do to help you?"
As soon as the stewardess on duty in front saw Yang Hongtao standing up again, she hurriedly greeted her, and pointed to the back kindly, saying, "If you want to go to the bathroom, you should go back." β
Yang Hongtao shook his head and said stubbornly, "No...... I am...... Looking for someone. β
The flight attendant still said enthusiastically and patiently: "Oh...... Which gentleman or lady are you looking for? You tell me and I can help you make an enquiry and see if the person you're looking for is on this plane. β
"No need, no need...... Yang Hongtao hurriedly shook his head and said, "Actually...... I don't know what his name is, but I just came up and saw an acquaintance...... I'll just take a look......"
While dealing with the flight attendant, Yang Hongtao had already released his soul power, and quickly searched the dozen or so passengers sitting in the front row in turn, but the result was still nothing. In desperation, he could only shake his head and retreat to his seat and sit down.
"Hey...... I said little brother ......"
When Xin Yue saw Yang Hongtao returning, she stuck to Yang Hongtao like a piece of kraft candy, and said softly: "What did I say you are tossing around this time?" You can't be looking for an old lover, right...... Giggle......"
Yang Hongtao glanced at her, and said angrily: "It's true to find a lover, but I'm looking for you to find it, and ...... That's not an ordinary lover, but a rival who can kill someone! β
Xin Yue covered her small mouth and smiled, and said, "Sister, I am very innocent, where is there any lover!" Little brother, don't talk nonsense, don't ruin your sister's reputation! β
Yang Hongtao nodded at Xin Yue with a mysterious meaning, since she didn't understand, then Yang Hongtao didn't bother to say more, and closed his eyes again at the moment, and at the same time released his soul power to wait on the back of the chair where the magazine was hidden. I thought in my heart, since I couldn't find the terrorist* hidden in the shadows for the time being, I had to wait and watch these two magazines.
Yang Hongtao also thought about taking out these two magazines first and hiding them, or destroying them, so as to achieve the purpose of drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle, or if the terrorists had no weapons, they would not be able to make any waves, and there would be no way to hijack the plane.
But thinking about it, I don't think it's appropriate, after all, cutting through the back of the seat to dig out the magazine inside in front of everyone's eyes will inevitably immediately attract the attention of terrorists.
But how useful is it to wait for the rabbit like this? If we wait until the terrorists* come to get the magazine, and Yang Hongtao will take action against the other party, will it be too late? Even if he finds out that the other party has a pistol, will he still have a chance to create a new soul in the opponent's pistol?
"Wow grass, how stupid am I!"
Yang Hongtao used his soul power to hover over the position of the hidden magazine for a moment, but suddenly his heart moved. He had only been thinking about finding the terrorists first, finding the guns they were carrying, and then using his abilities to create a reading soul body on the guns, so that he could control the opponent's pistol at a critical moment. However, it is in vain that no terrorists have been found.
But Yang Hongtao suddenly remembered now, it seems that he doesn't necessarily have to create a reading soul body in the opponent's pistol, since he has found these two magazines now, then it is not the same for him to directly create a reading soul body in this magazine! Even if the magazine is moved to the pistol at that time, this reading soul body that originally belonged to the magazine will not be able to control the entire pistol, but as long as the magazine can be controlled and the bullet is not allowed to top the chamber, then even if the terrorist* has a gun in his hand, it is not useless?
