Chapter 203: Chapter 203 Blaming Me Again
Liu Yujuan drove her Porsche Panamera to a car repurchase dealership.
Today was the last day to pawn her watch, she had to redeem it.
But these past few days, she had been unable to get the money together.
She had no choice but to sell her car.
After inspection and appraisal, the Panamera, which she had bought for 2.5 million, could only be priced at 1.5 million.
If she sold it, she would lose a million.
Liu Yujuan didn't want to let it go for such a low price and tried several other dealerships, but they all offered around the same.
In the end, she had no option but to sell it.
After selling the car, she took a taxi to Jiangcheng Pawnshop.
What she didn't know was that, at the moment she arrived, the eyes of a scar-faced youth in a van by the roadside outside Jiangcheng Pawnshop lit up.
"Finally waited for you, rich lady."
"The value of your one watch is enough for me to build a villa back in my hometown and live a carefree life for the rest of my days."
The scar-faced youth was from a county under the jurisdiction of Jiangcheng, just a ruffian.
Since coming to Jiangcheng, he had been making money through dodgy means, managing to earn twenty to thirty thousand a month.
But he wasn't satisfied.
With his large monthly expenses, saving a few thousand was already good enough.
The day he came to Zhucheng Pawnshop to sell gold, he saw Liu Yujuan and learned that she pawned a watch worth 4.8 million; he immediately started scheming.
Just one job, to snatch the watch and sell it in another city, and he wouldn't have to work anymore, he could go back home and enjoy life.
He had been waiting here for days, just for Liu Yujuan to show up, looking for an opportunity to strike.
Ten minutes later, Liu Yujuan walked out of Jiangcheng Pawnshop.
She didn't wear the watch on her wrist but kept it in her handbag.
Now, only a million was left in her bank account.
She was in a bad mood.
"Xu Yang, you son of a bitch, why didn't you get back together with Yu Lu? If you had gotten back with Yu Lu, why would I have had to sell the Porsche!"
Liu Yujuan placed the blame on Xu Yang's head.
In her eyes, he was to blame for her current predicament.
If Xu Yang and Zhao Yulu had gotten back together, she would have had nothing to worry about.
She didn't go home but decided to get her hair done first.
It had been a while since she had her hair done, which she thought of as a form of relaxation.
She took a cab to a familiar hair salon.
Three hours later, she came out of the hair salon looking much more spirited.
By this time, it had already gotten dark.
She had already messaged Zhao Yulu, telling her she wouldn't be back to cook dinner that night.
She walked to a nearby decent restaurant to have dinner.
She hadn't walked far when a man wearing a Monkey King mask rushed up to her, and before she could react, snatched her handbag and quickly disappeared into the crowd.
"Ah! Robbery!" Liu Yujuan came to her senses and started shouting loudly.
You see, the other things in the bag, like her ID, phone, bank cards, and makeup, didn't matter.
These items weren't worth much, the phone was just a few thousand, and reporting the loss of the ID and bank cards, and replacing the SIM card wasn't a big deal; the makeup was also only a few thousand.
But, inside was her watch valued at 4.8 million.
She retrieved the watch, but only put it in her bag, not wearing it.
She hadn't expected such a thing to happen; had she known, she would have worn it on her wrist.
If she had worn it on her wrist, even if a thug wanted to snatch it, it wouldn't have been so easy to take.
Now she was in trouble; if it really was stolen, she had nowhere to cry to.
But the masked man, after darting into the crowd, quickly slipped into a nearby alley and vanished without a trace.
Even if people wanted to help, they couldn't.
Liu Yujuan ran into the alley, shouting loudly but saw no sign of the thug. Her face immediately turned ugly, and she began to scream for people to help call the police.
A few minutes later, two nearby police officers arrived.
"What happened?" one of the officers asked.
"Officer, my bag was stolen, you must help me get it back, there are items worth millions in it," Liu Yujuan said anxiously.
"Ma'am, don't panic, we will do everything we can to catch the criminal. Before that, please tell us in detail what happened so we can investigate," the police officer said.
"Just now..." Liu Yujuan recounted the situation.
The officers first looked around the area, then checked the alley, and walked to the other end to look around.
"Ma'am, I'm sorry, but we haven't been able to obtain any useful information for now. We need to go back and check the nearby surveillance to see if we can find the person. Please leave your contact information, and we will contact you if we find anything," the officer said.
"How long will it take to solve the case?" Liu Yujuan asked eagerly.
"I can't give you an exact time, only that we will do our utmost to solve the case," the officer responded.
"Alright then," said Liu Yujuan, resigned to the fact that she could only leave her name and contact information.
After the officers had looked around a bit more to no avail, they left.
Frustrated, Liu Yujuan found someone to call Zhao Yulu to come pick her up.
She had no choice; all her belongings were in her bag.
With nothing left, she didn't even have the money to take the bus home and could only ask Zhao Yulu to come get her.
When Zhao Yulu arrived, she asked, "What on earth happened? How did you get robbed?"
Earlier, when Zhao Yulu received the phone call, Liu Yujuan had only said that she was robbed, penniless, and couldn't return home.
"Let's go have a meal first; I'm starving. I'll tell you all about it while we eat," Liu Yujuan pulled Zhao Yulu to a nearby restaurant.
Using Zhao Yulu's phone, Liu Yujuan reported the loss of her ID card, bank cards, and cell phone SIM card.
During the meal, Liu Yujuan finally talked about what happened.
"You sold your car and redeemed the watch, and now the watch has been stolen. How much money do you have left?" Zhao Yulu asked.
"I still have one million," Liu Yujuan replied.
"You went from ten million to just one million in such a short time!" Zhao Yulu became emotionally charged.
Liu Yujuan had bought luxury watches and cars.
Once purchased, these items, though they depreciate—and quite severely at that—
were still assets, amounting to six or seven million. Even if they halved in value, there would still be three or four million left.
If there was an emergency requiring money, selling the watch and the Porsche would have been a way to cover the urgent need.
But now, with those items gone, only one million remained.
"I had no choice, who knew it would turn out like this," Liu Yujuan said helplessly.
"What do you mean no choice? If you hadn't treated your friends to meals costing hundreds of thousands, none of this would have happened," Zhao Yulu reproached, still emotional.
"How can you blame me? If you had just gotten back with Xu Yang, none of this would have happened. Ultimately, it's still your fault!" Liu Yujuan shot back.
Zhao Yulu was astonished: "You're blaming me now?"
