A middle–aged man carried a case at Zealand Airport. He hopped on a plane heading for Seechertown Airport in a hurry.
He waited all afternoon and finally arrived at Seechertown Airport. After that, he left the airport and anxiously waited for a cab. A young man eyed the guy’s suitcase and smiled.
The young man walked straight at him and bumped right into him. The man fell and his suitcase also dropped to the floor, It was at that moment, the young man opened the suitcase at an unnoticeable speed. He took out a wooden box from the suitcase and casually swapped it with a piece of tile he removed from the floor, after which he closed the suitcase.
The middle–aged man was still on the floor after the switcheroo.
The young man tossed the wooden box into the flower bush. Then, he hurriedly helped the middle– aged man up and apologized.
The man looked around and hurriedly grabbed his suitcase. He asked the young man, “What’s wrong with you?”
“Oops, I slipped. I’m so sorry.
The cab arrived at that moment. The middle–aged man scoffed, then quickly got in the cab and left
The young man watched him leave and chuckled. He mumbled to himself, “There’s nothing I can’t steal.”
The middle–aged man headed toward the hotel in a cab. He rushed to the room where Sammy was staying.
Sammy saw the man and sighed in relief. She said, “Dom, you’re finally here.”
“Sammy, what’s the rush? Why do you need the family heirloom?” he asked.
She replied, “Forget about that. Just show it to me first.”
“What could go wrong?” he complained as he opened the suitcase.
She frowned and said, “This is crucial! I can’t afford anything to go wrong.”
Dom opened the suitcase and they saw a piece of floor tile inside. They were dumbfounded.
“What is this?” Sammy screamed
Dom was stunned for a long while. He then slapped his head and said, “Oh no! It must have been when I was at the airport. That guy stole it.”
“Oh no! It’s over, it’s all over…” Sammy felt like all hope was gone.
Dom was pacing around in panic too. After a while, he quickly said, “Let’s call the police. We still have hope.”
“It’s the only thing we can do now.” She looked dejected. They quickly rushed toward the nearest police station
The jade statue had passed through numerous underground channels after an afternoon. It finally arrived at the desk of Matt Lilith and Gerard Torrent after several twists and turns.
They could not stop praising the jade stature.
Matt said, “Perfect timing. I was worried about meeting him without a gift. This thing is quite nice.”
“Yeah. It looks quite old. I hope it pleases him,” sald Gerard.
Matt nodded and said, “Let’s go. I think we should inform him about this too. We’ll be scolded if we’re late.”
“Alright, let’s go.”
Chapter 292
They packed up the jade statue and got in the car, driving toward Sealake Island.
Soon, they were in front of Willur after Charles reported their arrival.
They politely placed the wooden box on the coffee table. The duo lowered their heads as they said, “Sir, we have something important to report.”
What is it? And what is the meaning of this?” asked Wilbur as he looked at the wooden box.
Matt hurriedly said, “We stumbled upon this by chance, and it looked quite nice. We know you have an interest in antiques, so we brought it along.”
Gerard hurriedly stepped forward and opened the wooden box. He presented the jade statue to Wilbur.
Wilbur looked at the jade statue and a peculiar expression gradually appeared on his face.
