Chapter 238: Christmas Eve
I can't go back to the castle at noon, so I can only find a random place. ~,
The guards had never been to Edinburgh either, so the trio had to find an Italian restaurant on the side of the road to go in for a tasting.
The elegant environment, the quiet customers, and overall the good thing, Joseph sat alone in his position, and not far away were two vigilant guards.
One serving of macaroni, one serving of food, and the rest is a serving of pasta, and one person does not have to eat too much, and the aristocracy does not mean the kind of person who does not go home without spending hundreds or thousands of euros, and can eat to his heart's content.
And at this very time
"Hello!"
"Hello."
Looking at the stranger sitting opposite him with some confusion, Joseph quietly gestured not to let the two guards come, he wanted to see what the gentleman wanted to do.
"Sir, I can see through your fate."
"Oh? Is it? ”
"That's right, but I need you to be quiet."
Looking at the waiter who came over, the stranger had fewer words, and the waiter glanced at this place and thought that the two were familiar with each other, so he turned around and left directly.
"Oh well! I hope you won't let me down. ”
If it's just an ordinary fortune teller, then it's nothing to cheat some money behind your back, after all, everyone is happy, and it depends on how the other party does it.
"First of all, please extend your hand."
Smiling slightly, Joseph stretched out his hand according to her words, Mr. Fortune Teller closed his eyes and read the words, and then put his hands together and sandwiched Joseph's hand in the middle, and in a flash, he stared at Joseph with wide eyes and a face full of incredulity.
"I can't tell who you are."
Then the fortune teller left in a panic, seeing this scene Joseph was a little puzzled, could he have recognized his identity? Is there really a fortune teller in this world?
But in a trance, Joseph felt that there was something he had neglected, and he habitually wanted to rub the ring on his hand, and at this time......
Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, it turned out that what he met was not a fortune teller but a thief, a very powerful thief who could be called a thief. Because he took his ring, he didn't even notice it.
"Your Majesty?"
The two guards saw Joseph shaking his head and smiling bitterly and hurriedly stepped forward to ask, but Joseph did not speak, but stretched out his finger and shook it.
The faces of the two guards changed drastically, this was their dereliction of duty, to which Joseph waved his hand to indicate that it was not their business, if it were not for Joseph to see what tricks he did, there would be no current situation.
Ring? Although it is very valuable, it is not a family seal or anything like that, just a few hundred thousand euros, just for entertainment, Joseph does not care. But......
"Benson, you're making a lot of money this time."
A few young men surrounded the young man who had just stolen Joseph, their faces full of envy and flattery, they didn't treat Benson or give them some, they wanted technology, they wanted Benson to teach them technology.
"I know what you want to do, but it's really inconvenient to leave it to you, Edinburgh is so big, and it's not like I'm alone. That's when it comes to opening, it's a three-year deal. ”
Benson is right, if they shoot frequently, they will be unlucky sooner or later, but if they only do it once a month or even two months, especially for tourists. Then the chances of being caught are almost gone.
The young people are all characters in the circle, and they naturally understand, but ...... Such good technology who wants to give up, in case. If you learn how to do it, it's easy to get mixed up in other cities by yourself!
Benson ignored these people and went straight back to where he lived, a relatively remote but very well-decorated high-end apartment. This is what Benson had been looking for for a long time to find.
Back in his suite, the first thing Benson did was to identify the ring, and the jade ring was the most difficult, not only to determine whether it was a famous ring, but also to see what the quality of the jade was.
Benson is also very capable, at least in the thief industry, he is one of the most erudite, not only stealing first-class but also very good at identification. International antiquities thieves often send stolen things to him for identification, after all, they are peers, and there is some guarantee of safety.
"The jade is good, it's familiar...... Where have you seen it? ”
Thinking about it, Benson searched the jade file he had put away, and from time to time he muttered about the identity of the various jade rings in the file.
"In 1985, Christie's auctioned a jade ring that cost £150,000, but unfortunately it wasn't this one...... This one, purchased in 1875 by the Lee tycoon in Hong Kong City for £190,000, is not this one. ”
"In 1988, a mysterious man bought a finale jade ring for 350,000 euros......"
Benson was silent, and after careful comparison, it was indeed this one.
If there is anything that these international thieves and top thieves are most afraid of, then it is this kind of thing that is bought by unknown mysterious people, because you don't know the identity of the other party, and one accidentally provokes some predators...... It's not just a prison sentence that is on the horizon.
What to do! What to do!
Send it back? Impossible, isn't that a sheep in the mouth of a tiger? Although the possibility of the other party pursuing it is very low, it is ...... to sell it Isn't that to offend the other party to death?
It doesn't work to send it back, and it can't be sold, and for the first time, Benson felt that stealing was a kind of torture, especially this kind of thing that can't be sold and can't be sent back.
There is no way, Benson can only find a way to find out the news of Joseph, as long as he understands the identity of the other party, then make other plans.
Joseph didn't know that he had lost something, and the thief who stole it was tortured more than himself, and after lunch, he left straight away in the direction of the castle.
It's Christmas Eve, and it's already 19 o'clock when I get back to the castle, and some of the farmsteads passing by have already begun to prepare Christmas gifts and lanterns, and the castle is even brighter.
Joseph, who came back, just in time for Li Xiaohan to go home, the two looked at each other and smiled, Joseph said: "I didn't have time to say in the morning, Merry Christmas, Han!" ”
"You too, Merry Christmas Joseph."
The two walked into the castle hand in hand, and the joyful Li Xiaoxi was running out with the little lioness, but saw Joseph and Li Xiaohan. Hurriedly braked, and then smiled all over her face, looking like a lady.
"Merry Christmas, sister and brother-in-law."
"You too, it's a gift for you."
"Books?"
Li Xiaoxi, who took it, didn't even read the title of the book, Joseph smiled helplessly, it seems that his sister-in-law doesn't like to read very much, and maybe he will have to make some special arrangements for her in the future.
"Your Ring ......"
Joseph didn't expect Li Xiaohan to be so familiar with his own things, and he told his experience a little ridiculously, which made the two stunners, one big and one small, giggle.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Merry Christmas, old lady."
"Eun, happy, happy."
The old lady also learned about Christmas today. If you suddenly tell her how to spend Christmas a few days ago, she will ask you very confused what Christmas is.
"Joseph's ring has just been stolen by thieves."
Li Xiaohan and Li Xiaoxi thought it was funny, after all, Joseph had such a noble status that someone stole a ring out of thin air in an Italian restaurant. But in the eyes of Mother Li, she was still so happy to throw away such a valuable thing?
Although she felt dissatisfied, but on such an occasion, Mother Li would not speak casually, looking at the sumptuous dinner on the table, she was planning in her heart whether to go back or stay here during the Spring Festival.
"The old lady wants to do something about the Spring Festival?"
Mother Li was a little embarrassed, after all, she was thinking about her own festival all the time on other people's festivals. How is it a little inappropriate, too.
Looking at her appearance, Joseph knew what she was thinking, and smiled lightly: "Old lady, don't forget, I also have ordinary Chinese blood, and the Spring Festival is also my festival." Actually, you don't have to worry too much, just take Han, Xi and even Mu Qing back during the Spring Festival, and I will be in Europe during the Spring Festival. ”
Although he was thinking about himself, Li Xiaohan still felt a little sad. After all, she is still a mistress, otherwise why can't she spend the Spring Festival with her husband?
If Gao Jingxuan also thinks like Li Xiaohan, wouldn't she be wronged to death? You must know that Li Xiaohan is still married to the Earl of Aberdeen. And Gao Jingxuan has no reputation at all.
Europe? Mother Li was stunned, but she still didn't speak, after all, she had already guessed, smart people know what to say and what not to say, and Mother Li is obviously a smart person.
At the same time - the Nord Palace
"Your Highness, Gao Jingxuan, a shareholder of NORD Royal Oil, wants to spend Christmas with you."
Abner's expression at this time was very strange, in fact, it was not only him, but Kate also looked very strange when she heard this, but after hesitating, Kate still agreed to spend Christmas with Gao Jingxuan.
This is the first meeting of a Joseph woman, there is no gunsmoke, no friendliness, no quarrels, just plain conversations, ordinary meals, and plain atmosphere.
They are very plain, but the two little half-brothers are very friendly, although one can walk for a short time, and the other has just walked back, but the blood makes them very close.
"Oil companies are paying good dividends this year."
"It's good, but it's a little too much, and it's a little apprehensive to hold it."
"Are you worried about me or the Cabinet?"
"Does the Cabinet have the guts to meddle in the affairs of the royal family?"
The "royal family......, yes, they really dare not meddle in the affairs of the "royal family". ”
Gao Jingxuan was very happy when she heard this, because she understood that she was recognized, and she was recognized by Princess Nord.
"They're happy."
"Then you should keep them together often."
"I will do it, but I hope you will always remember what Joseph said."
"I haven't forgotten a day, and I don't expect anything."
"I hope so." (To be continued......)
