Chapter 1065: Retaliation (2)
When this news came, Zou Zheng was still in the police station discussing strategies with his lawyer.
Upon hearing the news, he stiffened, drew in a breath, and pa.s.sed out straight away.
The crystals went missing?
Zou Zheng was nervous but not desperate when he was caught while trading artifacts.
However, the crystals going missing was an enormous problem!
Although he didn’t know exactly what the crystals were for and how they should be used, he knew that they were all treasures.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have to be so torn.
One piece of crystal could bring him plenty of benefits.
It could be said that the reason why he had his current status and wealth was because of these crystals.
These crystals… They were stolen from the Lu family.
These crystals were very precious and closely guarded by the Lu family.
It was through his relations.h.i.+p with Lu Jinghong that he made connections with others, got through many channels, and then got these crystals.
When these crystals were sold, the price was enough to drive anyone crazy!
However, he had never seen this kind of crystal on the market, and no one had made it into an accessory or jewelry.
Although curious about the usage of such crystals, he would not use them and did not bother to pursue the information in depth.
He just needed to know that there was enough money on the line.
His actions were very secretive. He only started last year, and he only did deals once or twice a year.
A few days ago, he hooked up with a foreign buyer.
The buyer was very generous with his offer and offered a price higher than any auctioned gemstones on the market!
So, after selling one crystal and seeing the great price, he decided to sell three crystals at once, to make more money.
He also decided that after selling the three crystals, he would call it a day and figure out what to do after things had calmed down.
After all, he was afraid that the Lu family would find out about the problem.
Who would have thought that the three crystals would be missing?!
When Zou Zheng woke up, he broke down and immediately called Qiao Weiyue.
In order to cover up, they had put the three crystals inside the safe at Qiao Weiyue’s house.
The house was quite simple in its facilities, and to outsiders, it was just a place for them to occasionally hang out.
Moreover, there was nothing special here. Others would not think that there were any valuable items here.
No one knew that there was an inconspicuous utility room with a hidden safe where precious things were kept.
In order to keep people from suspecting anything, they did not pay much attention to this area and only monitored the s.p.a.ce through a very hidden monitor.
For so long, there was no problem at all.
After all, in everyone’s perception, if there were treasures here, they must be closely watched.
It would only be casual if there was nothing here.
However, where was the stuff?
When Zou Zheng called Qiao Weiyue, his voice was calm, but if you listened carefully, you could hear a hint of trembling.
“Don’t joke with me, you can’t joke about such things.”
Qiao Weiyue, on the other end, was also anxious.
“I’m not kidding! The things are really gone!”
“Gone?! But how?!” Zou Zheng couldn’t help but roar. “Things were fine right?! Where’s the stuff? Go check the surveillance!”
Their surveillance was state-of-the-art and well-hidden, so thieves wouldn’t find it.
If you looked at the surveillance, you would know who stole the stuff.
Qiao Weiyue was about to cry as he spoke, “I checked, but the surveillance was blocked!”
