169 Looking For an Acquaintance

In the past, most of the counterfeits were finished products. Now, however, with enough technology, they couldn’t wait to use their black methods on raw stones.

After Vivian saw that everyone had their own duties, she asked jobs in a low voice, “In your opinion, is it more likely that the people who made the counterfeit were a gang or an individual?”

Jobs was stunned for a moment. He thought that Vivian was really not going to pursue the matter when he saw her calm expression. He thought for a moment and replied, “It’s hard to say. If it’s done by a single person, then he won’t appear too often. Usually, he only does a few things a year. If it’s a gang, then there must be a lot of them. There might be other victims in this market.”

Vivian did not say on the spot that she would not let the matter go because this was not their home ground. The laws of this country did not have much effect in a sense.

Their every move would be very abrupt. The two completely different faces of the East and the West, the language barrier, and the unfamiliarity of the roads were all problems of restraint. After all, she had not yet thought of what to do, so there was no point in saying anything now. Actions were more powerful than words.

Vivian lowered her head and rubbed her belly. “They should only target foreigners who come here to collect goods. The local people may not be willing to inform us. After all, we are outsiders to the M Country people. The less trouble, the better.”

“Jobs, do you know any local forces?”

Before Jobs started his business, he was a high-level appraiser for a famous jewelry store chain in the country, so he mostly came into contact with the seller. “I’ve never come into contact with the local underground forces. The company I worked for before had a public relations department to deal with them. I only dealt with the merchants.”

“Later on, the scale of my own company wasn’t very large, so most of my goods were only sold in China. However, I know two bosses here who are close to me in private, and they are quite reliable. I can go there and find out more information.”

Vivian rubbed her fingers, pondered for a moment, and said in a whisper, “Go and ask first, then make your next decision.”

Vivian didn’t want to suffer a loss for nothing. She planned to come here all year round in the future. The identification skills of the technicians and experts needed to be improved, but sometimes it was impossible to guard against it. If she could use this incident to shock them and make them fear when they laid their hands on gold, Jade, and jewelry, she would also achieve some of her goals.

In the afternoon, Jobs went looking for an acquaintance, Vivian, and another expert to collect the stones. In one day, everyone had collected about 100 stones, and they had already spent about four million. The cash in the locked suitcase in the bodyguard’s hand was gone just like that.

M Country’s payment method wasn’t as advanced as swiping a card. Other than the owners of the stores, everyone else traded with cash. It was a real deal of cash and delivery.

After dinner, Vivian called Radar that had been following Leon to find out about his situation over the past two days. Although she spoke to Leon every day, she knew that Leon would only report the good news and not the bad news. She decided to ask Radar and Ben every two days. She was only relieved when she heard that everything was normal.

After hanging up, Radar looked at Leon, who was reading a book at the side, and shouted softly, “Young Master…”

Leon closed his book. “My mother is worried about me, but she’s pregnant and in a foreign country. I don’t want her to worry so much. I’m not asking you to not listen to her. I just hope that when you talk to her, you don’t have to report those minor things.”

Radar and Ben looked at the bruise on the corner of Leon’s mouth and exchanged a glance. They tried to probe, “I think fighting is still considered serious.”

Leon chuckled. “It’s normal for people of the same age to have some friction. Besides, I won. Let’s put an end to this, okay?”

Although Leon said that he wanted to discussed, there was no room for discussion in his tone. When Radar and Ben saw there was no smile in Leon’s eyes, they only dared to silently say ‘no’ in their hearts, but agreeing on the surface.

Vivian had no idea that there was such a drama behind the phone call. After hanging up, Jobs had just returned to the hotel after asking around.

Fanny opened the door for Jobs.
