Chapter 293 Bonus Chapter—Diamonds from the Underworld
Jiang Chaosheng noticed that there was another line of text on the back of this page:
"These words are not a lie, but I've been deceiving you all along."
Jiang Chaosheng slowly frowned.
You weren't lying, but you've been deceiving me all along?
What kind of strange logic is this?
He was certain that the handwriting on the paper was definitely his own.
Jiang Chaosheng is a person who distrusts everyone and may even have a bit of paranoia.
While he was in the orphanage, he forced himself to develop a writing habit.
Every three characters, on the fourth character, he would put more pressure on the strokes.
He did a lot of things like this that weren't very meaningful.
But now this matter has significance, at least it confirms that these are indeed my own notes.
These words aren't a lie, but they've been deceiving you all along.
Below this line of text, there is another line of text.
The answers you seek can be found in White Fish Village.
Jiang Chaosheng knew that this was a clue left by his former self before he lost his memory for his present self.
A smile slowly crept onto his lips:
"That's interesting."
At that moment, the woman brought the tea.
Jiang Chaosheng nodded:
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
He didn't know who this woman was, but didn't she call herself his sister-in-law?
Unsure of the woman's background, he chose to go along with her.
As the woman poured tea for Jiang Chaosheng, she asked:
"How's business lately?"
Jiang Chaosheng raised an eyebrow:
"Antique shop? Not bad."
He remembered that the paper said "Zero Antique Shop".
The Way of Women:
"I thought that incident would affect business in the South China Sea."
It seems the antique trade remains unaffected.
Jiang Chaosheng pondered for a moment:
"I just returned to the South China Sea. Which matter was your sister-in-law referring to?"
The woman paused for a moment:
"It's like gods fighting."
Jiang Chaosheng's pupils contracted slightly.
Are the gods fighting?
Her diary contained entries about Daji, the Zero Antique Shop, the Forbidden Society, and other random things.
Clearly, this is something from mythology or fantasy.
Could it be that I have experienced a bizarre and fantastical event?
Did I lose my memory because some kind of gods were fighting?
Probably.
The woman said to herself:
"I don't know what's wrong with Xia Country, the number of unusual events is even more than in the United States..."
Jiang Chaosheng asked with a question:
"An unusual event?"
Realizing she had misspoke, the woman smiled and poured tea for Jiang Chaosheng.
"I just felt that yesterday's battle of the gods was too abnormal, so I called it an anomaly."
She initially guessed that Cao Ye was so afraid of Jiang Chaosheng because Jiang Chaosheng was also a figure in that mysterious circle.
In addition, a few days ago, when Jiang Chaosheng and Cao Ye were chatting in a coffee shop, there was a dragon's roar outside.
At that time, she still thought that Long Xiao was Jiang Chaosheng's doing.
It now appears that Jiang Chaosheng had no idea what an unusual event was.
Everything is a coincidence.
Cao Ye fears Jiang Chaosheng, perhaps because... Jiang Chaosheng has a powerful background.
but......
Does this make sense?
But Jiang Chaosheng's puzzled look clearly didn't seem to be an act.
The woman chose to keep her thoughts to herself.
Jiang Chaosheng savored the woman's words.
An unusual event occurred in Xia Kingdom and Meiqi Kingdom.
The woman chuckled and continued:
"You see, apart from that incident, people in the entire South China Sea haven't been going out much."
All units were given a long holiday, and the police officers patrolled the streets every day.
Jiang Chaosheng glanced outside the door.
Indeed, in the half hour since I entered the coffee shop, seven police cars have passed by.
Jiang Chaosheng became increasingly curious about all of this.
Since the answer is in White Fish Village, we should go and see for ourselves.
Jiang Chaosheng said:
"I'm leaving now, sister-in-law. I'll come back to see you later."
He got up and left, but when he reached the door, he felt his pockets and turned back.
The woman looked at him:
"Did you leave anything behind?"
Jiang Chaosheng took a diamond out of his pocket:
"I want to exchange 500 yuan."
He wasn't surprised to find a diamond in his pocket.
The woman froze again, waving her hands repeatedly.
"No need, I'll give it to you."
The woman walked quickly to the counter, took out five banknotes, and handed them to Jiang Chaosheng.
Jiang Chaosheng took the five hundred yuan and turned to leave.
He had no money in his pocket, and he needed to take a bus to Baiyu Village, which would cost more than four hundred yuan.
The woman blinked:
"What... what's going on?"
She shook her head:
"Old Meng's friends are all eccentric, and Ah Sheng is the eccentricest of them all."
The woman bent down to close the cash register and suddenly noticed something shiny.
diamond.
She picked up the thing and squinted at it:
"D-grade diamond".
D color is a synonym for "transparent and colorless".
This refers to diamonds that have absolutely no yellow or brown tint, representing the highest standard in all color grading.
Also known as, top-grade white diamond.
Without brand premium, these types of diamonds are priced at over ten thousand US dollars per carat.
The one Ah Sheng left behind is probably over two carats, maybe even three carats.
If it's three carats...
That diamond would be extraordinary; it would be collector's item, and its price would increase tenfold.
Despite the polarization in diamond investment, a top-quality three-carat white diamond remains a strong safe-haven asset.
The woman quickly chased after him.
Exchanging a diamond for 500 yuan, that's simply...
So weird!
If you're short of change, I can give you some.
But you don't need to exchange such a precious item for it!
People can be eccentric, but how can they be eccentric to this extent!
Isn't there something...?
Too honest?
She had just pushed open the door when she bumped into Meng Xing, who was returning home.
His face was very pale. He walked into the counter, picked up the wine jug, and took a big gulp.
Ye Yunyun quickly handed the diamond to Meng Xing.
Meng Xing has a keen eye; he recognized it immediately as a collector's item white diamond.
But he didn't have time to pay attention to a diamond.
Cao Ye is in trouble; he already knows through his own channels.
He died at the hands of hell; his enemy might be Satan!
Meng Xing forced a smile:
"My dear wife, is that a new diamond you bought? It's beautiful, so beautiful!"
Ye Yunyun quickly told Meng Xing what had just happened.
Meng Xing's brows furrowed immediately:
"You're saying Ah Sheng gave this to you? Just to exchange it for five hundred dollars?"
Ye Yunyun nodded repeatedly.
Meng Xing picked up the diamond and examined it carefully:
"My brother here is really too highbrow."
He could understand Jiang Chaosheng's thoughts.
I don't want to owe anyone a favor.
Some of the most important people in this world are like that.
They never say "borrow," they only say "exchange."
The way Cao Ye acted upon seeing Jiang Chaosheng truly demonstrated that Jiang Chaosheng was an unknown but important figure.
Meng Xing suddenly noticed something, narrowed his eyes slightly, and sniffed the diamond again:
"The aura of the underworld."
The diamonds in Jiang Chaosheng's possession were all looted from Xie Ya.
The Evil Raven is an old monster that has lived in hell for thousands of years, so it's normal for the diamonds on its body to be tainted with the aura of the underworld.
Meng Xing suddenly thought of something:
"Where did he go?"
Ah Sheng... Could it be related to the divine war that happened in Nanhai City a few days ago?
Perhaps he knew some of the deeper details behind Cao Ye's incident.
