Chapter 141 - Diamonds
The company owned by Wu had a major impact after the fact that Mr. Wu had been controlled by someone else spread out to media. There was a big impact on shares whose prices decreased to some extent.
To control the situation, Wang Shiwei bought some shares from the shareholders, who wished to sell the shares and after having a press conference, the prices of the shares of the Wu's stopped decreasing to some extent.
In all those things, Mr. Wu took Caixia to a place alone. It was a place Caron Radon knew about but couldn't open it up since he needed the key which was with Caixia. Without the key, opening it up meant losing the diamonds within it..
A place far away from the company, built under ground near a barren area owned by the Wu's.
"Its here, Caixia! Be careful with your steps," Mr. Wu said as he outstretched his hand to Caixia while standing one step below on the stairs.
Caixia took his hand with a polite smile and nodded. It was quite dark as if they were stepping inside a coal mine but the only difference was that there were stairs underground which she could see by the light glowing out through their cell phone.
Mr. Wu touched the wall since they were inside a narrow tunnel and he switched on the lights inside the tunnel.
Amazingly it was nothing like a coal mine but a place build by high tech machine and operated by programming set years ago.
There was a double door… a white big double door, a little similar to the door of an elevator and at the side, there was a place which accepted the key to open it.
Only one key was needed by and as Caixia took her pendant closer to it, the small box on the wall opened up from both sides and a similar size as the pendant was seen engraved on it.
So maybe she have to put the pendant in it but then again she remembered that from any one pendant can the door be opened so why didn't they looked for the Lee family who had the another pendant? Maybe because they thought that it was easy to get Caixia then the Lee family.
Caixia let out a big sigh since the answer seemed closer yet it was not coming out from her tongue.
Seeing her sighing in distress, Mr. Wu asked, "What happened, Caixia?".
Caixia looked at him and shook her head, looking back at the key opener, she took off her pendant and put it there. The door finally opened up and inside the door, a big hall made of high technology was present.
"Take the pendant back and step inside," Mr. Wu said and walked forward whereas Caixia took the pendant and followed him.
Her eyes roaming around the hall which had a desk which was the programming to open and close the door from inside. The door which opened up, closed as soon as she stepped inside.
Beside the programming desk, there was a big box kept in middle of the hall and as Mr. Wu gave her a nod she stepped toward it to open it up using her pendant and the thing inside it was marvelous.
Like a sparkling crystal mountain, there was a few white crystals which where sticking together and looked really expensive bit it wasn't pink so why was it called pink heavenly diamond and why was it amount so much.
Not just one or two but a couple of ten to twenty crystal were filling up the box and she took one small piece, "Is this it?" she asked looking up at Mr. Wu and he nodded raising up his eyebrows.
"Are you only taking up this small piece?" he asked while wondering if Caixia really wished to take only a fistful of diamonds.
Caixia chuckled, "It can already get me a billion, isn't it? Why would I need more and moreover, I don't even need this much".
Mr. Wu smiled before nodding and surprisingly stared at her, "You know it can control others and is a treasure of our family, are you still thinking of selling it?".
Caixia glanced at the diamonds and then smirked, "Who knows but lets get out for now".
A diamond worth billions yet Caixia didn't cared that it was her family treasure and took it out whereas even her father didn't stopped her… why was that?
Before leaving, Caixia changed the program setting since even though Caron Radon can not enter inside the main hall where the diamonds were kept still he can enter the narrow tunnel which was unacceptable therefore she made some setting.
As they stepped out from the tunnel, Caixia eyes become narrowed.
She sneakily glanced here and there and took out the diamond, "This pink heavenly diamond is indeed a wrong name. It isn't pink at all". Caixia hand which were holding the diamond was near her eyes staring at it keenly and within a second it disappeared.
Of course she had an idea of what was going to happen. There were people from black market who had been following them and now that they were out with the diamond, it was the perfect time to steal it without trying to get inside the tunnel.
Yet they took the diamond away from her hand but Mr. Wu didn't reacted and even stopped Caixia from following them, "Its ok, that diamond is not precious then you".
Caixia took her time and glanced around, there doesn't seemed to be anyone else left in the barren land and she smirked, "That diamond was not precious then me but what about the pink heavenly diamond? What if that diamond was the real pink heavenly diamond, would you still have said that?".
Until now, her father was testing her IQ and now it was her turn. Her father crackled into laughter but controlled himself, "Indeed those diamonds were not pink heavenly diamond but they still were worth billions but how did you found out about this?".
Caixia giggled and tilted her head, taking a few step forward, she turned back and looked at her father with a bright grin, "Of course because if it was so unique, then it might be in a small bit or pieces rather then a pile of crystals and moreover, they are simply diamonds that are sold everywhere although it's a bit expensive".
Mr. Wu looked at Caixia with a proud face and now it was his turn to reply to her questions.
Earlier she has asked him whether he would have said the same thing if the real pink heavenly diamond has been stolen so now he took a deep breath and said, "You are so intelligent, I guess you already know the answer".
His reply was simple and that was to find the answer herself and she sighed, her eyes on her pendants and then lifted up to look at him, "Although I don't know why it's called pink but I am sure that you care for your family more then this or why else you would have given my mother this rare diamond".
Mr. Wu nodded and stepped ahead to stand beside her, "Pink because when it was discovered it looked pink but after taking out, it changed its color and kept changing on so it was later called heavenly and now there is a quality paint coated on it to keep it a secret from others".
So, in truth, the Wu family made the rare diamond into a key to those diamonds which are very expensive but not so rare. With that no one would ever be suspicious of the pendant and will never be able to find out where the real diamonds were hidden.
Caixia paused before she could take one more step and grinned, "The diamond I took out from the basement, I kept it back before walking out".
Mr. Wu looked at her while being baffled since what she was saying doesn't made any sense after all the diamond got stolen in front of his eyes.
"Those diamonds were fake that I bought. Since many knew about this place, I was sure that they will follow us no matter how secretly we left so I brought a fake diamond which took me no more then 5 dollars and in a rush without checking they left after grabbing it from me," Caixia explained and proudly giggled but Mr. Wu looked at her with his suspicious eyes.
Of course it was normal for him but he was yet to know that it was not just him but her husband and even Jully were all suspicious of her.
The giggle she had earlier dropped down as soon as she turned back and started to walk. Her mind having a lot of thoughts about how to get her revenge on the Lee's and a sudden thought arrived in her mind.
Maybe the Lee's are on the dark gang side. I often saw Mr. Lee going there with Lilian but he was also with my students so there is no way but what about his eldest brother? I am sure that he is acquainted with the dark gang.
