Chapter 636: Cold as Ice

This is the earliest day that the bamboo forest has come back in recent times.

The genius just got dark. It's not even seven o'clock in the evening.

There are no slippers in front of the house, and there is no food on the table that was made long ago but was also cold, the only thing that is the same is the quiet in the house.

Hou Chen Yucoln is not home.

Bamboo Forest didn't even know she wasn't home. Maybe he can check before he gets back, but he doesn't know why he didn't do it.

He tried to pick up his phone several times… several times he couldn't think of anything to say.

Shortly afterwards, Bamboo Forest came out of the kitchen with a bowl of noodles, turned on the TV and ate it while watching, but he didn't know if it tasted good, what was on the TV, and what the lines said.

Because it's really quiet here. Bamboo Forest enjoys a quiet working environment, so his office is also very quiet. However, the two quiet feelings are quite different.

Do you want to continue working in the study later? The bamboo forest suddenly has this idea… but let's finish the noodles first.

In the living room, there was just a warm light on to decorate the room with the cool and refreshing.

Halfway through the meal, his wife Hou Chen Yucoln opened the door and came in with a bag in her hand... that's the bag from the convenience store downstairs, that box should be food.

Hou Chen Yuxian should not have thought that she would be at this time, and at this moment when she came home to open the door, she could see this person who had been sleeping in the same bed for many years. Without much expression on her face, she stood at the door and seemed somewhat overwhelmed.

Bamboo Forest looked at his wife and said, "Work is going well today, I came back early. ”

Hou Chen Yushang nodded hard.

The bamboo grove stood up hastily at this time, and some hands could not find the key to rubbing gently on the clothes between the waists before holding up the bowl on the table hastily.

But what does he want to do with this?

Bamboo Forest had no idea why he was doing this... He looked at Hou Chen Yuxian, the pillow man, and finally spoke, “Well... that's what I did, because I don't know when you'll be back... I'll go make you another one. ”

He hurriedly dropped the bowl of noodles, like finding a life-saving reed and finding something to do.

“It's okay, I bought food. ”

Hou Chen Yucoln also spoke hastily and flipped out of the bag - as if to prove something, she said, "Well... are you good enough, I don't have much to eat, can I give you a share? ”

“Enough is enough.” The bamboo grove shook its head in a hurry, "in fact, I'm almost full. I... I went to the study and had a plan that wasn't done yet. ”

Hou Chen Yu nodded coldly, "Then I'll eat something first. ”

The bamboo forest lowered its head and quickly walked into the study. And Hou Chen Yuxian, who silently did it at the table, opened the box.

In fact, she didn't know what it smelled like - soon after the studio heard the music, and Hou Chen Yuxian found his headset, plugged it into his phone, and stuck his ear in.

The light is still that warm little light, nobody's ever turned on anything else.

Gradually, it was late at night.

By the time I turned back, it had been more than a little over midnight... Bamboo Forest looked at the time and appealed to turn off the computer.

People who are obsessed with work tend to ignore the passage of time… this is the best way for the bamboo forest to push through time.

He also took a shower and went back to his room, discovering that his wife, Hou Chen Yucoln, had fallen asleep... he was reluctant to admit the tight nerves before quietly relaxing.

He lay quietly down.

“The doctor asked me to cook before I could do it again. But I think… should we try a different hospital. ”

Bright light... that's the light from Hou Chen Yu's bedside table pulled open.

“Not asleep yet?” Bamboo forest, then subconsciously said: “Are you… going to change? ”

“I don't know. ”

“Otherwise, try another one. ”

“Mmm.”

“Well... good night. ”

“Good night. ”

Hou Chen Yucoln reached out and turned off the light.

……

……

Two days have passed. In the evening, Professor Trevor, in the name of relaxation, once again left where Wang Yuechuan lives, and then arrived directly at Liu Zixing's house on the way.

The funds that Professor Trevor was able to prepare have been exhausted in these two days - not by everything, but by the judgment that he has made in recognition of the extraordinary power that remains in the world.

Compared to that magic, to the Book of the Dead, to what the soul describes in this book, the wealth of the world has long been worthless to Professor Trevor.

When Professor Trevor arrived, Liu Zixing greeted him inside quite politely. Professor Trevor used to measure Liu Zixing's mansion.

Professor Trevor was not surprised to have such a luxurious mansion because the Liu family started out in the jewelry business. It was just his impression that most of the country's wealthy people seemed to be able to lay low no matter how they were out there, and that the characteristic of being able to show off their financial resources could not always be masked at home.

They seem to adhere to this principle of restrained luxury, but Professor Trevor feels a little empty inside Liu's mansion - for example, in a position at the door, which, despite obvious efforts to clean it up, still leaves a shallow circular mark.

There should have been a vase or something here… Professor Trevor even thought it might be worth a fortune.

Why is that?

There are many places in the living room where Professor Trevor found something similar.

For example, it is clearly a cabbage ornament on a conspicuous cabinet, Professor Trevor knows very well, it is not green cabbage carved with jade stone, but only very low-end and inexpensive plastic products.

Liu Zixing spoke English well, as if it was because he had been sent abroad to study for several years after high school.

“Professor Trevor, are you coming alone?” Liu Zixing asked Professor Trevor quite enthusiastically to sit down and then turned to his wife and said: “Go and make some tea. ”

Professor Trevor went straight in, “No, I'm not thirsty. Plus, I want to take a look at the merchandise. ”

Liu Zixing stunned and laughed happily afterwards: “Professor Trevor is really a pleasant person... no problem, come with me. Come on, this way. ”

Liu Zixing led Professor Trevor upstairs into the study. He had Professor Trevor parked outside the door and himself closed the door and walked in.

Liu Zixing opened the safe in the house - now he can open it at will - at a hanging position on the wall of the study.

Because everything here has become his thing, and it's perfectly legal... to have that mysterious businessman in his possession at such a young age.

When the safe was opened, the lighting system in the safe was also switched on. Today, in one of the layers of the cabinet that separates the layers, there is a delicate box.

Inside is the item that was traded —— a black diamond.

I don't know why, every time I saw this black diamond, Liu Zixing had a sense of fear from the bottom of his heart... I was under the impression that his father seemed to change his personality after he got this black diamond.

He even subconsciously blamed the black diamond for something he was unwilling to mention in this mansion.

Liu Zixing even characterized it as an ominous thing - even though every time it seemed to attract him.

Yet disgust suppressed the attractiveness of black diamonds… so he planned to start this thing as soon as possible - in fact, it was helpless.

Because he really owed too much gambling debt out there - after Liu Ang died and safely and legitimately inherited the wealth of the Liu family at the cost of affection, Liu Zixing had some painful thoughts.

But he found that even though he had taken his affection for himself, nothing seemed to have changed - his wife still looked at him the same way as before, and his mother had not changed anything about him.

Even though he has become the only man in the Liu family, his position at home has risen to the top.

Some of the floating Liu Zixing, once again the mortal adoration... can't stand the temptation to go gambling.

“It's time to quit betting. ”

Liu Zixing pulled the box out of the safe with his hands in the middle of nowhere, then restored everything to the way it was before opening the door for Professor Trevor to enter the study.

“Oh... is this the black diamond? ”

Professor Trevor looked at the box that Liu Zixing's hands had opened and bent over, almost leaning forward. He even wanted to reach out and take it out and observe it carefully.

Liu Zixing suddenly put the box together, “Professor Trevor, you said there would be a price that would satisfy me, right? ”

“Mr. Liu, please believe that I have come in good faith. ”

Liu Zixing plays with the taste: “I don't know what you call sincerity, Professor. What is it? ”

Professor Trevor said softly, "I don't like the way your country is turning around. I have forty million… in the currency of your country, of course. Of course, if you don't want to, you can exchange it for money from another country, which doesn't matter. ”

“Only 40 million?” Liu Zixing shook his head, "Professor, then sorry, 40 million is too little. Do you know how much this black diamond weighs? When my father bought it back, it was much more than that. So sorry, I'm not selling it to you. ”

Professor Trevor bluntly said, "Mr. Liu, I think there are some situations where we need to be clear to each other. ”

The bid was not high, Liu Zixing had no intention of farting with this foreign old man. He shook his head directly: “There is nothing to explain, you did not offer enough price, it is that simple. ”

Professor Trevor said, “Diamonds, especially raw stones, are not as expensive as the average person sees them. Diamonds are able to sell for a price simply because they have been given too much intangibles since they were polished. But Mr. Liu, as a jeweler, don't you know what the price of diamonds is on the diamond market? Yes, this black diamond is bigger than many of the world's most treasured gems... but Mr. Liu, you should know that those diamonds are rare because history has given them other values. For example, the jewels embedded in the crown given to the queen by a king are because of the legendary ingredient... So, Mr. Liu, what's the added value of this black diamond? ”

These things, Liu Zixing naturally knew that although they were not a business material, his father had forced him to go to work at the company, his ears were wet and he could always know these common senses.

“Professor Trevor, since you can't offer me a price that satisfies me, I'm not going to tell you anything.” Liu Zixing still shook his head.

Professor Trevor smiled slowly: "Okay, Mr. Lau, can you produce a certificate for this diamond? I would like to add a number to your satisfaction if you are able to master it. ”

“Are you sure?” Liu Zixing moved a little at this time.

“Of course.”

“How much can you give? ”

“Five times better," Professor Trevor said softly.

Liu Zixing's heart jumped suddenly, five times 40 million, which is... he looked at the old professor in front of him and almost wanted to say yes directly.

“Well, with the certificate, I can give it to you in two days.” Liu Zixing nodded: “Two days later, you came to my company with the money, and we made a deal in person. ”

“No, no, no, Mr. Lau, I think you misunderstood what I meant.” Professor Trevor bluntly said, "I mean, to make a firm statement, you and I must be present at the same time, and we need to invite a regular expert... how about you and I find one person each? ”

“This...” Liu Zixing is angry, "Professor Trevor, what do you mean? Do you think I'm gonna fake it? In that case, let's not talk about this business! Besides you, I have more buyers out there who can afford it! ”

“Really?” Professor Trevor sneered. “I'm afraid not. Mr. Liu, I don't think there are many, but I'm afraid none other than me. Because this black diamond doesn't prove anything... because it's not a real diamond. ”

“Just kidding!” Liu Zixing snorted coldly: “Do you know how much it took my father to buy it! ”

“Well, why don't we go check it out now?” Professor Trevor laughed, “If it's true, you'll be happy with the price. If not, then I'm sorry... I wouldn't buy it. ”

Liu Zixing looked at Professor Trevor and looked down at the box on the desktop, his eyes fluttered.

What this professor said… is true.

Because he's already thought about it, and he's found a company expert, and he's already tested it... what kind of diamond is this, it's just a crystal, it's another element! No diamond carbon found at all!

The expert master even said… I'm afraid it's not just a hundred bucks to pick it up from the crystal market.

“At least 50 million. Not without it.” Liu Zixing stared at Professor Trevor.

Professor Trevor shook his head: "I'm sorry, Mr. Liu, I don't think you're sincere. I don't think this deal should go on... So, goodbye, I have an appointment and I have to go. ”

Looking at Professor Trevor's resolute departure, Liu Zixington was in a hurry, "Wait, 40 million! Professor, save that number you started talking about! This black diamond is yours! ”

But Professor Trevor didn't stop.
