Chapter 1294: Blood Diamond
1996, Cape Town, South Africa.
On a desolate cliff at the southern end of Cape Town near the sea, there was a lonely wooden house.
At this moment, there were several Jeeps parked outside the wooden house, and the lights inside the wooden house were on, and there were moving figures.
Inside the house, an old man with white hair and a Monocle on his left eye was carefully examining the diamond in his hand in front of the light.
The diamond was four carats in weight, and it glowed with a pink light.
Just as the old man was carefully examining the diamond, he saw two groups of people standing on both sides of the old man.
The group in front were all fierce and strong men; The group behind him were all refined men in suits.
The two groups of people were holding all kinds of guns and weapons, looking extremely nervous.
It was obvious that the two groups were making an unusual and extremely important deal! One side was in a hurry to sell, the other was in a hurry to buy.
The cold wind on the cliff was bitingly cold, and the temperature in the wooden house was not high, but these people’s faces were covered in sweat. It was obvious that the atmosphere was so tense that everyone’s breathing could be clearly heard …
The white-haired old man should be a gem appraiser. Every time he appraised a diamond, he would nod to the people in suits behind him, indicating that the diamonds he inspected were genuine and of excellent quality.
Although there were many diamonds, it was obvious that the appraiser did not need to finish examining all of them. The white-haired old man only picked a dozen of the larger diamonds among the many.
Seeing that the selected diamonds were about to be appraised, the staff on both sides were slightly relieved. The transaction could be carried out immediately.
However, at the critical moment when the appraisal was about to be completed, a gunshot was heard. Blood suddenly burst out of the white-haired old man’s body. He didn’t even make a sound before he fell to the ground face up. He had been shot dead!
At the same time, several gunshots were heard in the wooden house!
The members of both sides were already extremely nervous. When they suddenly saw someone sniping, they naturally thought that the other party was trying to backstab them!
Hence, no one hesitated. They all picked up their weapons and shot at each other …
Bang Bang Bang …
In an instant, gunshots rang out in the wooden house, and flashes of light kept flashing.
“Ah … Ah ah …”
What followed was the screams of the chaotic gunfight!
At such a close distance, under the fierce burst of fire from both sides, no one was lucky enough to escape, and all of them fell to the ground.
Upon hearing the gunshots, the people on sentry duty outside the house immediately rushed into the wooden house and joined the battle.
Bang Bang Bang …
Tap tap tap tap …
After another round of shooting, there was no one left standing in the room …
Just like that, more than a dozen people died in the blink of an eye in this sudden internal strife, leaving only a few people.
At this time, only one man in a suit was still alive. He was covered in blood and had been shot several times. He was on the verge of death, but he still held onto a metal box and crawled toward the door.
Due to his serious injuries, every step he took seemed to be very difficult, and a winding trail of blood seeped out of the ground …
“Pa La La …”
Suddenly, a soft sound came from behind him. The man quickly turned his head and looked back.
As a result, his eyes were filled with great shock and fear. He had never expected that the white-haired old appraiser, who was the first to be shot, would actually stand up like a demon!
The old man got up. After seeing the dead bodies on the ground, a sneer appeared on his face. Then, he picked up a pistol on the table and shot the struggling man dead.
Due to the inertia of the bullet, after the man died, the box in his hand fell to the ground and opened, revealing a dazzling stack of US dollar bills …
This money was used by the buyer to buy the diamond. In that era, it was definitely a huge sum of money!
However, the white-haired old man didn’t even bother to look at them. He just went straight to the table, put the many diamonds into his pocket, and carried them with him.
Then, he went outside the house and poured the gasoline he had prepared on the bodies and the car outside.
After that, he set the gasoline on fire …
The light of the fire suddenly soared into the sky, illuminating the white-haired old man.
The next second, the old man took off his hood and beard, revealing a young and cold face …
……
In the castle on Fiji’s Miracle Island.
The restaurant in the castle was luxuriously decorated, exuding the air of nobility everywhere, especially the long dining table, just like the ancient United Kingdom Palace model.
Jasmine had prepared delicious food for everyone. In addition to the classic English dishes, there were many Fiji local specialties, such as lobster and abalone.
However, in the face of such delicious food, the crowd obviously did not have the appetite to eat. They were still discussing the diamond.
Miao kun, in particular, thought that Zhao Yu could not understand English, so he took the opportunity to repeat what had happened to Zhao Yu in Chinese. He said,
“It’s quite famous in the industry, and it goes back to South Africa twenty-two years ago,” Miao kun explained to Zhao Yu while observing other people’s reactions.”Everyone knows that South Africa is rich in diamonds, and Africa Senna is a giant among the diamond companies. It controls almost forty percent of the mining and export of South Africa’s diamonds.
” 22 years ago, a group of unknown robbers robbed this company’s Diamond warehouse and took away a batch of priceless raw diamonds.
“The robbery was obviously planned meticulously, and there was an internal response. The robbers almost didn’t shed a single drop of blood, and the robbery was very easy.
“Because the behind-the-scenes investors of Africa’s Senna company are all United Kingdom nobles, and it involves the gray areas of two countries, the robbery was not announced to the public.
“After the incident, the United Kingdom used all its resources to investigate this matter. In addition to more than a dozen elite agents, many business tycoons, including green, also participated in the search for information.
“However, three days later, people found the suspect of the robbery and the body of the suspected buyer in a small house on a cliff near the sea in Cape Town.
“But unfortunately, the house was destroyed by the fire, the body was also severely damaged, and the diamond was gone!”
“Mm … I heard my father mention it before,” Xi menna, who was sitting next to Zhao Yu, spoke in Chinese as well.”He said that the buyers were from Netherlands, and there were burn marks of US dollars at the scene. I don’t understand. The person who stole the diamond burned the money!”
“To be honest, I did suspect green at the time,” Miao kun said.”But, as his daughter said, he was already so rich that he didn’t have to get involved in this mess!
“Everyone knows that diamonds are stained with blood. Whoever has any ideas about it will have to pay a painful price! Even Daheng can’t afford to play it. ”
“Alright, alright, this is going to be fun!” At this moment, Yusoff, who was sitting at the opposite table, suddenly said in English,”hurry up and take a look. Someone has cut off our communication!
“I say, Miss Jasmine …” He stood up and said to Jasmine, who was in the master’s seat,”I’m a big business deal every minute. Don’t you think it’s a little too much for you to block our signal?”
“Hmph Hmph …” Molly’s expression was still cold as she said,”everyone, I want to emphasize once more that this isn’t a prank my father is playing on you!
“You should know what those diamonds mean to some people, so …” She said lightly,”just in case, the news of the diamonds can’t be leaked for the time being. I have to let everyone suffer first!”
“Tsk tsk … This is bad …” The black man said while holding his mobile phone,”we can’t play ‘chicken dinner’ this time …”
