Chapter 258: Chapter 258 - Yun Xiangxiang’s Decision
“Someone mentioned me?” Yun Xiangxiang knew who it was . “The security guy . ”
It was the man she bumped into in the corridor . Except for him, Yun Xiangxiang had never met a single one of the other members .
“Yes . He knew their failure had something to do with you . He looked weird when he mentioned you . ”
Yun Xiangxiang ruminated about that . She could guess what Captain Luo was saying .
Captain Luo gave her a document . “Ten years ago, there was an armed jewelry heist . It was a damning sight . The robbers were meticulous, and they escaped us . The same thing happened a few more times after that, only more refined, and more people were involved…”
Yun Xiangxiang read through the cases . Similar heists happened four times in ten years . After the first case, the next one was four years ago, and the third one was a year ago .
As she went through the analysis and the pictures, even an amateur like Yun Xiangxiang could see that the same people were involved in those cases .
They seemed to be only targeting jewelry . Their members seemed to increase with each case, and the way they did it became more comprehensive with time .
Their style, which emphasized the element of surprise, was similar to the ones they caught this time .
With Yun Xiangxiang involved, it was reasonable to suspect these guys colluded with those in the past .
“If my guess is correct, these people must be following the jewelry world’s every move . The man who mentioned you must have heard about you from these guys in the files . They already have their eyes on your stone . ”
“I’ve already sold my stone,” Yun Xiangxiang didn’t hesitate .
Captain Luo smiled, “Miss Yun, you might’ve been able to fool the public, but those criminals? You aren’t fooling them . ”
If Yun Xiangxiang didn’t get involved in this case, Captain Luo would have thought she sold the stone too . But when he pieced everything together, he understood that Yun Xiangxiang had reached an agreement with MonRoe to shift the public eye off her .
Yun Xiangxiang’s heart sank . The jadeite was a dangerous item . She didn’t ask MonRoe to pretend to take the jadeite precisely because she knew the public wouldn’t dig that deep .
She needed the products as soon as possible . She had only gone to MonRoe’s Shanghai branch once when Song Qian came .
It was just a show . She didn’t expect them to set their eyes on her this soon . They didn’t attack her yet because they wouldn’t make a move with an incomplete plan .
“I think you guys can try getting the unedited footage of “A Gathering of Shows . ”” They must have set their eyes on her back in the old town .
One of them must have been in the old town that day . Since he needed to keep his eyes on her, he must have left some traces .
The cameraman followed her all day . Yun Xiangxiang knew he must have appeared on camera .
“Thank you for the reminder, Ms . Yun . I will get someone to investigate,” Captain Luo nodded . “But, the priority here is your safety . ”
“You want me to hand over the jadeite to set up a trap,” Yun Xiangxiang could guess what he was thinking .
Captain Luo smiled formally .
“I can give it to you . But if I lost it because of this, who would compensate me for my loss?” She asked .
It might be something she had gotten for a mere one hundred yuan . It might be affecting her adversely, but she needed it to make a special gift for Song Mian . She didn’t want to lose it .
They might have been captured, but Yun Xiangxiang felt that the group behind them was confident . It was evident from how adamant the captured were in keeping it a secret . They wouldn’t think that their little plan was already known .
They had blood on their hands . The police might also have someone watching their families .
Thanks to “Flying Sky,” Yun Xiangxiang did her research on criminal groups . They would prepare an initiation rite for every newbie they trained .
The initiation rite was just giving them a minor mission, which was easy to complete . The captured men were probably doing their initiation mission .
It had not been long since she was revealed to possess the stone . If the guy knew her and the jadeite through the group, they still maintained contact .
Yun Xiangxiang was their target in their first place . Now they lost some newbies because of her . She might have angered them . They might even plan on taking her out to regain their honor .
“Miss Yun . You’re in danger . You need to protect yourself,” Captain Luo emphasized .
“Captain Luo, since you know where I got my sources, you should know that I am not afraid of this level of danger,” Yun Xiangxiang was unafraid . “I believe that I have someone capable of protecting me . ”
She paused before saying, “If the criminal group that has been at large for ten years were to be destroyed by someone else, you guys might feel embarrassed . ”
Captain Luo gave Yun Xiangxiang two thumbs up, “As expected of a top student . I’ll be honest with you . I don’t think I can bear the responsibility if you lose your stone . ”
It was a priceless, fragile treasure . If it broke somewhere along the way…
“But you already know I am in danger . You have the responsibility to protect me,” she smiled .
“I don’t think you want to let everyone know that you didn’t sell the jadeite, Miss Yun . Especially not your fans . It won’t look good on you,” Captain Luo finally made a hit . “I think we can come up with a better way . ”
Yun Xiangxiang kept quiet as she turned on her phone to look at the time . “I still have work to do . Give me some time to think about it . I’ll get back to you tomorrow . ”
“Do you need someone to protect you?” Captain Luo didn’t ask her to stay . Instead, he made a warm offer .
Yun Xiangxiang shook her head, “I have someone protecting me already . ”
“I called some friends over to keep you safe,” He Wei drove her back after their trip to the station .
The summer’s afternoon sun shone upon the glass window . It was glaring .
Yun Xiangxiang stared blankly at the passing scenery, not making a sound .
Criminals didn’t rest, but she would have to . The best way was to help the police destroy the group no matter what .
“Brother Wei, take me home . ” Yun Xiangxiang decided .
The jadeite was indeed rare . Because of that, many eyes were set on it .
Yun Xiangxiang couldn’t send this hazard to MonRoe when she knew someone was after it .
The only option left was to hand it over to the police and let them do their job . Whether it would remain intact was up to fate .
She couldn’t put herself and her family in harm’s way for a jadeite .
