Chapter 688: Diamonds Worth $30 Million

Zhuang Yi had been waiting in the hotel lobby for a while.

After receiving Cheng Yu's WeChat, he went downstairs almost immediately.

He originally thought that Cheng Yu was sending a message and was about to arrive, so after going downstairs, he stood directly at the door of the hotel and looked around.

But there were several cars in a row, and none of them were Cheng Yu, and Zhuang Yi didn't dare to send a message to ask Cheng Yu, in his eyes, Cheng Yu was almost his last straw.

After being restless and wandering in every way, Zhuang Yi returned to the hotel lobby, walked into the lobby bar, found the most suitable position to see the door, asked for a bottle of wine, and waited while drinking.

Unconsciously, twenty minutes passed, and the bottle of Macallan was also drunk by Zhuang Yi by more than a third, and he finally saw Cheng Yu's figure.

Zhuang Yi almost rushed to the door, greeting Cheng Yu excitedly and nervously, completely ignoring that there was a waiter behind him, because he neither paid nor told the waiter the room number to let him hang the bill.

After Cheng Yu shook hands with Zhuang Yi, his eyes crossed his shoulder, looking at the waiter who was out of breath but finally relieved, although a bottle of wine was not too expensive, but it was almost half a month's salary for this waiter, Zhuang Yi suddenly ran away, the waiter was naturally very nervous, and seeing that he just ran to the gate and shook hands with another man, he naturally relaxed a lot.

"What's the matter with you?" Cheng Yu asked the waiter with a smile.

Zhuang Yi was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "It's not me who you made an appointment......"

Before he finished speaking, he heard another voice behind him: "I'm sorry, this gentleman ordered a bottle of wine, drank for a while and suddenly ran away, I thought it was ......"

Zhuang Yi turned around, saw the waiter, and realized what was going on.

"I'm sorry, I'm waiting for my friend. My room number is 2327, so you can put that bottle of wine in my room for consumption. With that, Zhuang Yi took out the room card and showed it to the waiter.

The waiter was completely relieved and said, "I'm sorry sir, I misunderstood." Well, you'll spend a total of $1,380, but you'll have to go and sign for us. ”

Cheng Yu patted Zhuang Yi on the shoulder and said, "Lao Zhuang, don't be nervous, let's talk slowly for a while." You ran out of a bottle of wine so quickly?"

Zhuang Yi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, I drank less than half of it." Cheng Shao, don't worry, I don't have a problem with the amount of alcohol, I didn't drink too much. ”

Cheng Yu smiled and said, "Lao Xue has introduced it to me, you have three catties." Let's go and sign for the waiter first, and bring the wine with us, and we'll talk while drinking. ”

"Okay, okay. ”

The two followed the waiter back to the lobby bar, and the waiter brought the bill for Zhuang Yi to sign, and then the two walked to the elevator with the bottle of Macallan.

After entering the room, Zhuang Yi hurriedly looked for the cup and asked anxiously: "Cheng Shao, are you willing to help me?"

Cheng Yu took the two cups from his hands, signaled him to be calm, and unhurriedly picked up the wine bottle and poured some wine into the glasses.

"Ask the front desk to send someone to bring some ice cubes, I forgot just now, otherwise I would have ordered ice cubes directly in the lobby bar." ”

Zhuang Yi was very anxious, but he could only walk to the bedside, pick up the hotel phone, and dial the front desk.

After the order was quickly completed, Zhuang Yi sat opposite Cheng Yu and looked at him with blank eyes.

Cheng Yu said: "Lao Zhuang, you relax a little first, what you want to do has been seven or eight years, right?

Zhuang Yi looked at Cheng Yu in surprise, and said with some hesitation: "Do you know my ......?"

Cheng Yu smiled slightly and said, "I chatted with Lao Xue just now, and when I talked about you, he said that you were already single when he met you, and he hadn't found another one for so many years." Then I moved on to a story he had heard, I don't know if he was accurate, but I guess most of it should be true. He said that you took your wife and children on a trip to Lake Baikal seven or eight years ago, and you met a group of robbers, and your wife and children were taken hostage by the robbers. In the end, the robbers escaped, and took your wife and children with them, and you have never heard from them again, and you don't even know if they are alive or dead. Really?"

Zhuang Yi bit his lip, his face full of ......

Cheng Yu suddenly felt very strange, because what he saw from Zhuang Yi's face was not anger and hatred, but remorse, pain, and self-blame.

Frowning slightly, Cheng Yu found it difficult to understand Zhuang Yi's emotions, this is really not like the state that a man who wants revenge should show, it seems that there are really many unknown parts of this story.

"I'm not here to intrude into your privacy, but if you want me to help you, I have to know what you're going to do, and what you're going to do.

Lao Zhuang, to be honest, even if you are not facing me, but that Lao Dapeng, that is, your guest's classmate, he can't go to the dark web to help you post tasks just to collect a little intermediary fee in a state of ignorance.

You don't think that organizations like the dark web have survived to this day, relying on these completely unreliable members, right?

Not to mention the dark web, even some killer intermediaries can't just collect money without asking the reason like in the movie, only by understanding the ins and outs can they ensure their own safety and ensure that they have greater confidence to complete the task when they carry out the task.

Even I can tell you that if you are going to post a task on the dark web, the person who will take the task will inevitably ask you about all this. ”

Zhuang Yi lowered his head, still didn't say a word, just bit his lips tighter, and Cheng Yu could even see that a little blood was oozing from between his teeth.

"Ding-dong. The doorbell of the room rang, and Cheng Yu whispered: "Think about it first, it should be the ice cubes that have been delivered, I'll get it." ”

Standing up and walking to the door, Cheng Yu opened the door.

Outside the door was a waiter, carrying an ice bucket in his hand.

"Sir, could you please give me the ice bucket in the room?" the waiter handed the ice bucket to Cheng Yu and made a request.

Cheng Yu turned around and said, "Where is the ice bucket?"

"It's in that cabinet behind you, yes, that's it. ”

Cheng Yu nodded and said, "You can come in and get it yourself." ”

After the waiter came in and found the ice bucket, he left the room, and before leaving, he said to Cheng Yu, "I wish you a pleasant." Then he carefully closed the door for them.

Cheng Yu returned to the sofa with the ice bucket, put two pieces of ice in each of the two glasses, picked up the wine glass, and shook it gently to increase the contact between the wine and the ice cubes, so as to reduce the temperature of the wine as soon as possible.

"Oh, and by the way, quests on the dark web are usually quoted highly. I'm not sure your client mentioned this to you, missions like killing, which basically start at a million dollars. If my deduction is correct, there is far more than one person for your revenge, are you sure you can afford to pay that much?"

This time, Zhuang Yi did not continue to be silent, but suddenly raised his head and said, "I have 30 million US dollars, but not cash, but diamonds worth 30 million US dollars." ”

Cheng Yu was stunned for a moment, then frowned slightly, his eyes were slightly empty, and he began to look at Zhuang Yi again.

30 million US dollars, more than 200 million soft sister coins. At present, the price of five carat diamonds with good purity and color on the market is at least about one million soft girl coins. This means that even if all the diamonds in Zhuang Yi's hand are of the five-carat level, it would take more than 200 diamonds to be worth more than 30 million US dollars.

Of course, if there are larger diamonds, the number will be much reduced. But if there are less than five carats of it, it will increase that number a lot.

A one-carat diamond has a relatively high purity, that is, tens of thousands of soft sister coins, 200 million soft sister coins, and thousands of them, which is obviously impossible.

Normally, let alone the owner of a chain inn, even a tycoon in the jewelry industry is unlikely to have a jewelry store with more than 200 diamonds of more than 5 carats and 30 million dollars worth of diamonds, which is even more surprising than having 30 million dollars in cash.

This has to make people wonder about the origin of those diamonds in Zhuang Yi's hand.

may also see Cheng Yu's doubts, Zhuang Yi has also been forced to the point where he has to tell the truth, he bit the floating skin on his lip, and said almost word by word: "Among those diamonds, there is one pink diamond close to twenty carats, two are more than fifteen carats, and there are more than thirty diamonds above five carats." All of them are flawless or above in the D class. I didn't count the ones under five carats, but there were at least close to a hundred. ”

D grade refers to the color of the diamond, the closer to the colorless grade, the higher the grade, the highest is the D grade.

Flawless means that there are no inclusions inside the diamond under 10x magnification.

Both of these standards are a testament to the extremely high grade of a diamond.

Even Cheng Yu sounded a little like a book from heaven, twenty carats of pink diamonds, two more than fifteen carats, so calculated, the value of this batch of diamonds can indeed reach 30 million US dollars.

But at the same time, Cheng Yu can also be completely sure that the batch of diamonds in Zhuang Yi's hands will inevitably lose sight.

Stopping the shaking of the wine glass in his hand, Cheng Yu put the wine glass to his mouth and drank the wine in it.

Putting down the cup, Cheng Yu slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity and asked, "Lao Zhuang, this batch of diamonds, I'm afraid that I won't see the light, right?"

Zhuang Yi raised his head, his eyes were bloodshot, and his eyes were extremely cloudy.

His chest began to rise and fall violently, obviously his thoughts were already very confused, he was weighing and hesitating, not knowing whether to tell Cheng Yu the truth.

After thinking about it, Zhuang Yi felt that he had already told Cheng Yu about the diamond, and if he didn't say it now, unless he killed Cheng Yu, this matter would be known to others sooner or later.

"Okay, I said. ”

Zhuang Yi took a deep breath, picked up the glass of wine, drank it in one gulp, seemed to feel that it was not enough, poured himself another glass, and drank it again before finally speaking.

"Cheng Shao, your guess is right, I just want to avenge my wife and children.

Actually, I have known about the existence of the dark web for a long time, but I only know a little about it, I have tried to find members of the dark web, but for so many years, I have found nothing.

It wasn't until the guest, when he first talked about the dark web, that I just thought of him as a habitual braggart guy and didn't pay much attention to it.

But he drank a little too much that day, and after the other guests went back to rest, he grabbed me and kept chatting with me. I also talked to him about the dark web out of fun.

But in the end, I found out that he really seemed to know a member of the dark web, because he knew more about the dark web than I did.

In fact, until now, I have been skeptical of that person's words, and I have not fully trusted him.

However, I was well aware that this could be the closest I would get to the dark web in my life, so I didn't want to give up that hope.

It wasn't until dinner time that I met you, and from you, I was almost certain that the man hadn't lied to me, and that his classmate might really be a member of the dark web.

However, that person turned out to be a murderer and was arrested by the police, and my hope that I had finally ignited was completely shattered.

You're the only possible help I can get, can you help me?"

Cheng Yu sighed and said, "Originally, I didn't want to care about you at all, but when I heard Lao Xue talk about the situation of your wife and children, I felt some sympathy for you. That's why I got your number, added your WeChat, and contacted you. I can tell you that I do have access to the dark web, and I can help you post tasks on the dark web. However, I still have the same sentence, I must know all the beginnings and stories of this matter. Now, let's talk about what these $30 million diamonds are? Again, these diamonds don't see the light of day, right?"

Zhuang Yi seemed to be ready to tell the table, he nodded heavily, and said, "That's right, this batch of diamonds can't be seen." ”

"Where are you coming?" Cheng Yu didn't plan to talk nonsense with Zhuang Yi, and asked directly, and Zhuang Yi, in Cheng Yu's eyes, has also become a person with a story, this person is by no means as simple as Xue Changyun understands.

In fact, Cheng Yu can also directly use hypnosis to make Zhuang Yi tell the truth, but after a simple conversation with Zhuang Yi, Cheng Yu realized that there are a lot of inside stories in this matter, and in three minutes, I am afraid that I will not be able to finish it at all.

It's better not to waste points.
