Chapter 147: Within a week, I want to see that bracelet_1

Every time Mr. Xu thought of Tang Feng, waves of murderous intent surged in his heart.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

This kid had already foiled his plans twice.

The first time was Jiang Zi.

He had long regarded this woman as his exclusive conquest, only waiting for his current affairs to be over before preparing to launch a crazy offensive on her.

Unexpectedly, Tang Feng emerged out of nowhere.

Not only was he ambiguously involved with Jiang Zi, he even injured the people Mr. Xu had sent to monitor her.

This had touched his bottom line.

The second time was Mao Anyi.

This woman was coveted by Mr. Gao.

To curry favor with Mr. Gao, Mr. Xu had people use despicable means to drug her and was about to deliver her to Mr. Gao’s bed.

Everything was proceeding according to plan smoothly.

Yet it was Ye Feng who suddenly appeared and ruined his plan.

He failed to please Mr. Gao and even lost face in front of him.

With these two incidents combined, one can imagine how much he hated this person.

But considering the bracelet in Shen Tianyan’s hand, he decided not to cause further complications for the time being.

He would wait until the bracelet was in his possession before settling both old and new grudges.

Today, this long-planned scheme was about to come to fruition.

At the same time, it would be the end for this kid!

Sitting there without uttering a word, Zhao Huaqiang and the other two naturally didn’t dare make a sound either.

The living room became extremely quiet for a while.

Just then, the abrupt and harsh ring of a cell phone shattered the quiet, sounding particularly jarring.

Zhao Huaqiang took out his phone to look, and it was Wang Xiaodao calling. He quickly glanced at Mr. Xu, “Mr. Xu, it’s Wang Xiaodao.”

“Answer it.”

Mr. Xu also straightened his body, and although he tried hard to hide it, anyone could see the nervousness in his heart.

Zhao Huaqiang answered the phone and asked, “Did you get the bracelet…”

Before he could finish, Wang Xiaodao’s anxious voice came from the other end, “Mr. Qiang, the information was wrong, we didn’t find the bracelet.”

Zhao Huaqiang’s face suddenly changed, and he urgently asked, “How could you not find it? Search carefully again, the bracelet must be in his store.”

Normally unflappable, Mr. Xu clenched his fists tightly upon hearing the conversation between the two.

Would all the long preparations really come to nothing?

“Mr. Qiang, don’t you trust my skills? We’ve searched everywhere possible, there’s not even a trace of the bracelet,” Wang Xiaodao’s voice became more agitated.

Zhao Huaqiang found himself at a loss for words.

Wang Xiaodao’s skills in theft were beyond question. Having operated in Gan Province for so many years without leaving a trace, he was a kingpin in the theft world.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have gone to great lengths to bring him over.

If that bracelet was in the store, it would certainly not escape his notice.

Unless…

“Wang Xiaodao, you aren’t trying to play any tricks on me, are you? I warn you, if you dare to pull any stunts under my watch, I guarantee you won’t leave South Yue Province alive,” Zhao Huaqiang made no effort to hide his threat.

“What do you mean, Mr. Qiang? You suspect I want to embezzle the bracelet? What a joke. Don’t I have professional ethics? Moreover, with so many people you assigned to watch over me, when would I have the chance to pull off any tricks?” Wang Xiaodao immediately protested.

Zhao Huaqiang thought it over and felt there was some truth to it.

Of course, he didn’t believe in Wang Xiaodao’s professional ethics.

Believing in the professional ethics of a thief would be colossally foolish.

However, for this operation, he indeed sent two trusted associates to keep an eye on Wang Xiaodao, to prevent any funny business.

Those two men had been brothers-in-arms with him for many years and were absolutely trustworthy.

With these two brothers watching him, he doubted Wang Xiaodao would dare to try anything.

“Search again. If you really can’t find it… then withdraw for now.”

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Huaqiang looked gravely at Mr. Xu, “Mr. Xu, they didn’t find the bracelet.”

Mr. Xu’s gaze was gloomy and he was silent for a long time.

Zhao Huaqiang felt a lurch in his heart. He had followed Mr. Xu for so long, and Mr. Xu had always been composed in front of him. This was the first time he had revealed such a fierce demeanor.

One could imagine how furious he was at this moment.

“Where is Shen Tianyan now?” After a moment of silence, Mr. Xu asked a question.

“According to my people, Shen Tianyan and his wife went into the mountains a few days ago, saying they were planning to build a road for that village,” Zhao Huaqiang replied cautiously.

“Building a road? What a philanthropist, huh?” Mr. Xu’s lips curled with a trace of cold mockery. “Building roads costs a lot of money, where would he suddenly get such a large sum of funds from?”

He had experience in construction work and understood well the costs involved in road building.

Under normal circumstances, to build a kilometer of road cost around four hundred thousand.

And Shen Tianyan’s target village, being in a mountainous area, would make road construction exponentially more difficult.

Building such a road could cost at least tens of millions.

Although Lingxiu Residence was making money hand over fist, coming up with such a large sum of cash at short notice wouldn’t be easy.

Zhao Huaqiang immediately understood, “You mean, Shen Tianyan might have already sold that bracelet?”

“Improbable. He had previously revealed plans to hold a small auction, but the auction hadn’t taken place yet, how could he possibly sell it in advance?”

Mr. Xu shot him a cold glance, “Haven’t you heard of a feint to the east and an attack in the west? What if that old fox deliberately set up a maze to secretly sell it off?”

Zhao Huaqiang swallowed hard, “Mr. Xu, then… what do we do now?”

Mr. Xu’s face twisted into something ferocious, “What to do? Investigate immediately. Which bastard dared to mess with my plans?”

Zhao Huaqiang became somewhat hesitant, “Mr. Xu, it might be difficult to investigate this matter.”

The murderous aura from Mr. Xu was almost palpable, “If it was easy, would I need you for anything?”

“I don’t care how you do it, within a week, I want to see that bracelet.”

“Otherwise, you, along with Wang Xiaodao, will have to die!”

His voice was cold as if emanated from hell itself.

Zhao Huaqiang shivered, “Rest assured, Mr. Xu, I will deliver that bracelet to you within a week.”
