“Go and investigate the background of those two women. Get as much information as possible. Find out where they’re staying now and don’t leave out any details,” Zhang Cheng said sternly.
“Noted!” the bodyguard said.
After Zhang Cheng reached home, he locked himself in the study. If nothing went wrong, his bodyguards would come to see him in an hour with information about the two women. Since the jewelry was not in the hands of the Gao family now, he no longer had to be mindful about how he got a hold of it.
Anyone who stood in his way must die!
“Knock, knock, knock!”
There was a sudden knock on the door and Zhang Cheng said impatiently,
“Come in.”
A brightly dressed woman walked up to Zhang Cheng. This woman was heavily made up and smelled strongly of perfume. When Zhang Cheng saw her, his frown deepened. The woman leaned against the table and asked, “How’s the progress today? Did you manage to get the things?”
“No, someone else bought it,” Zhang Cheng said irritably.
“What? How can these things be in someone else’s hands! Who dares to snatch things from you in Sky City? Does that person have a death wish?” The woman’s voice went up a few octaves.
She was Liang Jin, Zhang Chengs wife and the eldest daughter of the Liang family’s eldest son. Considering the complicated family background, Qiao Mei might even need to address her as step-grandaunt.
“Why are you making so much noise! If you’re so capable, then you should go and snatch it back for me!” Zhang Cheng roared.
Liang Jin remained silent. Back then, she was the one who found out that this cufflink was quite magical. It seemed that this cufflink brought good luck to the wearer. If she wore it when she went to buy lottery tickets, she would always win a prize. It was originally part of a pair, but she had left Gao Tao’s bedroom in a hurry then and only managed to take one cufflink with her.
Since the other cufflink was missing, the cufflink was not as powerful as it should be. She would only win prizes if she touched the lottery tickets with the hand wearing the cufflink. If she used the other hand, she would not win anything.
Furthermore, Liang Jin discovered that this cufflink would choose its own owner! It would only unleash its maximum power in Zhang Chengs hands. In her hands, it did not do much. The cufflink was the reason why Zhang Cheng could become the richest man in Sky City. If not for this cufflink, they might not have been able to survive until today.
If not for this, Liang Jin would not have refused to leave Zhang Cheng. Fortunately, she also held all Zhang Chengs secrets in her hands. Even though Zhang Cheng had many mistresses, those women could never replace her as his wife.
However, she was irked by the existence of Zhang Chengs illegitimate children. After Zhang Cheng died, those little brats would definitely come to fight for a share of his assets. These assets were the results of both their hard work! How could she allow it to fall into the hands of those little brats!
This was also why Liang Jin was so anxious to get the rest of Gao Tao’s jewelry. As long as she had Gao Tao’s jewelry, she would be able to get similar abilities as Zhang Cheng and then she could become very rich too! She would no longer have to be afraid that Zhang Cheng would plot against her behind her back.
“You… you’re not lying to me, are you?” Liang Jin said as she looked into Zhang Chengs eyes warily.
“Why would I lie to you?” Zhang Cheng asked.
“Hmph, haven’t you lied to me so many times? Don’t tell me you secretly hide Gao Tao’s jewelry so that you can kick me out?” Liang Jin questioned.
Zhang Cheng took out a contract from the drawer and smacked it on the table. “If you want to question me, then why don’t you go and find all the jewelry yourself? What do you expect me to do? Either you shut up or you can go and look for it yourself. According to this agreement, we each get one piece.”
Liang Jin observed Zhang Cheng carefully and heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that he was not lying. As she walked out, she said, “Alright, I’ll go and ask around now.”
Even if she wanted to find out more information, that was a task for tomorrow. It was time to warm up some milk for her granddaughter. Ever since that kid from the Gao family fell ill, her granddaughter had been feeling down every day and had lost a lot of weight! Liang Jin’s heart ached to see her like this.
This girl was Liang Jin’s favorite granddaughter because of the close resemblance to her. Liang Jin always wanted to give this particular granddaughter the best things in life. As long as it was something that her granddaughter wanted, she would try her best to get it.
“Yao Yao, what are you doing? Get up and have a glass of milk first,” Liang Jin said in a gentle tone with a glass of milk in her hand..
