Diamonds

"Do you have a plan to save Zheng Ke?" Aura asked.

Xie Qiuqi frowned worriedly: "I don't know what Haza will do with him now. If he throws Zheng Ke to another mining area casually, I don't even know where to find someone. Even if he is put in the manor, if he breaks into It’s not easy to save people.”

"I know where Haza will put him." Aura said confidently: "The mining area is managed by his subordinates. It is impossible for him to stay in the mining area every day and watch it personally. If there is another rebellion and escape, he will really Too late to regret. So he will definitely put Zheng Ke in a place where he can see him all the time. Although the security of the manor is tight, many people go to that place. Subordinates, friends, and even the media will go to the manor if they want him. There are too many people. Inconvenient. He will put Zheng Ke in a place where he often goes, but people don't know much about it, and it is convenient for guarding."

Xie Qiuqi agreed with her thinking.

"Haza has become a devout Catholic since he joined the war. He goes to church twice a week, which is one of his most regular daily activities. There is a small Catholic church less than two kilometers away from the manor, operating Fully funded by Hadza, only senior members of UNITA go there. They have meetings, business talks and even deals. It’s airtight and the best place to put hostages.”

"Have you ever been to that church?"

"Haza wants Nadia to become Catholic too, I was there when I took the kids to the baptism."

"Aside from the hostages, I'm afraid there are many important things in it too? Such as ledgers, cash, high-end diamonds..."

"It's hard to say, I heard that there is an abnormally large 'wine cellar' under the church."

Xie Qiuqi stubbed out the cigarette butt: "About that golden diamond, what's going on?"

Their next actions may not be able to avoid this diamond.

Ola nodded: "Have you heard of 'Golden Jubilee'?"

That is the famous Thai King Gold Diamond. Unearthed from South Africa in 1985, it weighs 545.67 carats, ranking the eighth largest diamond in the world and the largest cut diamond in the world. In 1995, the diamond was bought by a Thai businessman and presented to the King of Thailand as a gift to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the King's ascension to the throne, hence the name Golden Jubilee, which means "golden commemoration".

The diamond was set in the crown of the king of Thailand and can only be seen today in the Royal Museum in Bangkok.

Xie Qiuqi still has this bit of industry knowledge: "Isn't that what happened more than [-] years ago?"

"I have a friend who used to be a miner, and later made some money to start a mining company in Angola. Around November last year, he told me that he found a diamond that was very similar to Jubilee, except for the carat. The number is not that big, the shape, color, fire color...it is a replica version, and the rough diamond weighs 11 carats."

"It's a windfall."

"It took the cutter almost a year to cut using the same cutting technique, and finally achieved 277 carats with 119 facets. He named it 'Junior' (meaning: small Golden Jubilee), but the birth of this diamond was not It is very formal and cannot be sold out of Angola according to normal procedures, and he is not easy to smuggle, so he found me."

"Where is the diamond now?"

"In the insurance company, you can take it out at any time."

Safes are not a long-term solution, and diamonds still have to change hands as soon as possible.

Aura has a deep meaning: "As one of the categories of colored diamonds, golden diamonds were not favored at the beginning. Its color is yellowish and not bright enough. People always prefer pink diamonds, red diamonds, and blue diamonds. Pure is more dazzling. When Golden Jubilee was first dug out, the seller was not even willing to give it a name. Later, after two years of polishing by the Belgian master's "fire rose carving method", a handed down treasure was born, and the price soared wildly. This is A stone with potential, do you know what I mean?"

Just like the two of them.A village woman and a miner are not favored by anyone, and I am afraid that Haza thinks it is a joke that these two people want to challenge him.If this battle can be won, they will be able to improve their value through tempering.

Xie Qiuqi pondered: "I'll let the surname Hu give Haza some insight, and say that you plan to move that golden diamond to another place. Haza is eager, and will send people to the road to test it no matter what. We can take advantage of this Opportunity, do a big vote."

Ola became interested: "Tell me, what can I do."

……

Zheng Ke was knocked unconscious and moved his position. When he woke up, he was in a single room, which was better than an air-raid shelter, but not up to the standard of a motel.Shepherd came to see him and was assigned to be his key guardian.Both of them had bitter faces.

Zheng Ke was worried about Xie Qiuqi, he didn't even know where he was, if Xie Qiuqi saved someone recklessly, he would definitely fall into Haza's hands.Shepherd Dog felt that he had been demoted. In the past, there were so many soldiers under his control. Now his mining area is gone, and his men are gone. He is directly labeled as a janitor.

"What is this place?" Zheng Ke asked.

The shepherd dog said impatiently: "Be honest, there are so many problems."

Zheng Ke could see that he was in a bad mood, so he deliberately sprinkled salt on his wound: "It's not easy for you, I heard from Qiu Qi that you want to earn enough money to go abroad, but after so many years of hard work for the commander, you are still a small soldier. You dare not move an inch to the west when people point to the east.”

The shepherd simply ignored his words and just smoked and read the newspaper.

On the contrary, Zheng Ke was more curious.

He thought the collie was quite interesting.There will be no way out following the commander, even he can see that the shepherd dog is not a fool, he will not know, he knows that he still wants to follow Haza, there must be his reasons, is it involuntary?Or is there a rare relationship between them?

"I have nothing to do anyway, so you can talk to me. The commander didn't forbid you to talk to me, did he?" Zheng Ke continued to tease him.

The collie put down the newspaper: "What do you want?"

Young Master Zheng smiled and said: "You remind me of a person who is my father's adopted son. He is a few years older than me and has a good relationship with our family. First, he will help my father. He followed my elder brother and continued to work hard. Unfortunately, someone assassinated our family, and he died to protect our family. I was wondering, will you sacrifice for the commander too?"

"Of course, I am always ready to sacrifice for the commander." Shepherd said.

Zheng Ke satirized him: "Loyalty is commendable. No wonder your commander values ​​you and assigns you such an important job."

The shepherd dog was not provoked by him: "I rely on myself to work hard. Unlike you, your father eats bonuses when he is alive, and he can continue to eat when he is dead. Unfortunately, he won't be able to eat for long."

"What do you mean?" Zheng Ke was annoyed.

The shepherd dog smiled and said: "You don't know yet, do you? Mr. Zheng Shihua, your uncle, his people have been busy for the past two months, and finally found a strategy to deal with your father's will. I heard that it seems to be your father's The lawyer suddenly changed his mind and said that your father was coerced and deceived when he made the will, which was against his will. The will was made when your father was injured and unconscious. If the court adopts opinion, the will will be deemed invalid. You will lose your right of inheritance.*”

"Fart! My dad hurt his leg, not his brain! Who would force him to make a will? That lawyer must have been bought."

"Who knows? The court will only look at whether the conditions of the invalidation of the will are met."

"But Zheng Shihua hasn't ordered to kill me yet, which means the court hasn't sentenced me yet."

"The results will come out in one or two weeks. Zheng Shihua won't tolerate you living too long."

Zheng Ke was a little flustered, and his face remained motionless: "How do you know these things?"

"When the commander and your uncle are on the phone, who do you think is on the side?" The shepherd dog thinks he looks stupid: "Young master, I advise you to give up hope, and don't think that anyone can save you. I admit it, Xie Qiuqi is very capable, but in Angola, no one can win the commander, at least you little people."

Zheng Ke couldn't help choking him: "Is he a real Buddha? Invulnerable to swords and guns?"

"He is not a real Buddha, but he is not alone. Why do you think he can cover the sky with one hand in Lunda? So many big figures behind him will allow him to fall? When necessary, they will unite to destroy All the rebels. That stupid woman, Ola, who thought her enemy was just the Commander, huh, she was in the wrong place from the start."

Zheng Ke heard something else from this passage.

The reason why Haza acted boldly was mainly because of the support of military and political forces behind him.These people colluded together and became each other's henchmen, forming an unbreakable force.Maybe there are honest and honest people who want to overthrow Haza, such as Ola, doesn't she have any evidence of Haza in her hand?Not necessarily, but instead of handing over the evidence to the police, she rebelled and seized the mine.

Because the rebellion can only offend Haza at most, which is not the most terrible thing, but exposing this black interest chain will offend a large number of people, and this price is not affordable for her.

The collie is a wise man, he knows to choose the side of the strong.

Haza may not be good to him, but Haza is his best choice.If even Haza can't help him realize his ideal, then no one else can.

"Del." Zheng Ke called out the name of the shepherd dog.

The shepherd dog looked back at him impatiently: "What else?"

Zheng Ke got off the bed and walked up to him: "You are wrong."

"Oh? How did I go wrong?"

"Haza is just a chess piece. His current status is obtained by attracting high-level military and political officials. He is the same as you, but he is also a dog in the eyes of others. The people above have never lacked loyal dogs. Without this One, a lot of people are vying to come up as a replacement. Do you think those big men think highly of him? Do you think Haza think highly of you?"

The collie gave a grim expression.Zheng Ke smiled and said, "Let me tell you, when a dog is useless, what his owner will do to it - he will kick it out and let it die in the cold winter. Haza trusts you I handed over the mining area to you, but you and your men lost the mining area, guess, is Haza planning to let you spend this winter?"

It must be too late to wait for Xie Qiuqi to come to rescue him. In case Zheng Shihua really invalidated his will, Zheng Ke would be shot to pieces before Xie Qiuqi's toes were reached.

— Get out as soon as possible!To live to see Xie Qiuqi!

(*The will is invalid: The "Inheritance Law" stipulates that if the testator's will is made by coercion or deceit against the testator's true will, the will will be invalid.)
