"Everyone."
Ron spoke again, and the room fell silent. Everyone turned to look at the generous organizer, eagerly awaiting his next words.
"To better express my apology, I will add an extra exhibit for everyone to see."
"That is the 'Titan's Lament,' known as the world's largest ruby."
Chapter 83 The Tragedy of the Titans
Wow!
The entire audience erupted in uproar!
The Titan's Lament, the largest ruby ever discovered.
Its color is as vibrant as pigeon blood, and its size is similar to that of a pebble, even about twice the size of the "Heart of the Ocean," which is known as the world's largest sapphire.
Its value is immeasurable. It was auctioned off for 690 million euros by a collector at a high-end auction 30 years ago, and has not been seen since.
In retrospect, the mysterious collector who purchased the Titan's Lament 30 years ago was most likely the grandfather of Mr. Ron, Leonardo DiCaprio.
The gem is now worth at least 3 million RMB!
The main thing is.
Now everyone knows that Chen Feng has a passion for gemstones. From the Heart of the Ocean to the Moonlight Eye, and then to the Goddess's Tear and the Gaze of Starlight, four priceless gemstones have been acquired by Chen Feng one after another.
Although Chen Feng has returned two of the gems, the other two, Moonlight Eye and Starlight Gaze, are still missing!
Now this Ron actually dares to take out the renowned Titan's Lament ruby, isn't he just blatantly waiting for Chen Feng to steal it?
Seeing everyone's reactions, Ron nodded in satisfaction.
Actually, he had his own considerations.
First, you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub. Chen Feng hadn't made a move for three days, so he started to panic and had to bring out something good to increase the weight of the "bait".
Secondly, and most importantly, even if Chen Feng eventually steals the Titan's Lament, the United Government will reimburse them without them having to spend a single penny. Why not?
Ron then spoke briefly, mainly explaining the value of the gem and expressing his gratitude to the visitors.
After speaking, he turned and left the venue, leaving only a few staff members to carefully place the Titan's Lament into the glass display case that had been prepared in advance.
Chen Feng, who was some distance away, also glanced at the Titan's Lament displayed in the glass case, following the crowd.
After confirming that it was genuine, he did not linger and turned to leave the venue.
……
Back to the coffee shop.
Pushing open the door of the coffee shop, one could see that besides Lin Qingyao, who was slacking off at the counter, there was another customer inside.
"Snowfall? You just got back from Europe?"
Chen Feng smiled and walked forward, naturally pulling out a seat opposite Su Luoxue and sitting down.
This scene surprised Lin Qingyao.
You know, when Su Luoxue came to the store earlier, her first thought was that she had been exposed and that the captain of the pursuit team had come to arrest her personally.
If Lin Qingyao hadn't seen that Su Luoxue came alone and wasn't wearing work clothes, she probably would have run away the moment she saw Su Luoxue.
Even after realizing it was a misunderstanding, she still had no intention of talking to Su Luoxue. Even when Su Luoxue asked her questions, she would just give a perfunctory answer without saying a word more.
The person she wanted to avoid at all costs, Chen Feng actually took the initiative to approach.
Moreover, judging from Chen Feng's demeanor, he seemed to be quite familiar with the head of the pursuit bureau.
A thief becomes friends with the beautiful captain who wants to arrest him... Is this... a movie?
Lin Qingyao swallowed hard and simply turned her head away, refusing to look at the two of them.
Su Luoxue smiled when she saw Chen Feng arrive.
"Yes, I just arrived this morning. I took a nap and came over. It's been a long time since I've had your coffee, and I've been missing it. But I came at the wrong time; you weren't here. Your new employee made it for me instead."
"Oh, really?" Chen Feng raised an eyebrow and looked at Lin Qingyao at the front of the table, asking, "How's the taste?"
"It's alright, but I prefer your cooking."
Su Luoxue smiled and took a sip of coffee.
The two chatted familiarly, which attracted frequent glances from Lin Qingyao at the front desk.
Chen Feng spoke again: "By the way, why did you suddenly come back?"
Su Luoxue slowly put down her coffee cup, a helpless look on her face.
"There's nothing we can do. Some people here have nothing better to do than challenge Chen Feng to a bet. Knowing Chen Feng as I do, he'll most likely accept. What do you think?"
"Perhaps."
Chen Feng smiled and gave an ambiguous answer.
This drew another eye roll from Lin Qingyao, who was not far away.
After finishing her coffee quickly, Su Luoxue simply placed the empty cup in front of Chen Feng.
"I wonder if Manager Yasen would be willing to refill my drink for our friendship?"
"of course can."
As he spoke, Chen Feng pulled a tissue from the tissue box next to him and, under Su Luoxue's questioning gaze, slowly covered the coffee cup with the tissue.
"Open it and take a look."
Hearing Chen Feng's words, Su Luoxue suspiciously removed the tissue covering the coffee cup.
However, what happened next surprised her greatly.
The coffee cup, which had been empty just moments before, was now full again, emitting a wonderful aroma and steaming hot, as if it had just been brewed.
I picked up the coffee cup and took a small sip.
Ok……
It still has that familiar taste, mellow and unforgettable.
Setting down her cup, Su Luoxue asked with a curious look, "Yasen, how did you do that?"
Snapped!
Chen Feng snapped his fingers and handed a rose to Su Luoxue:
"I'm sorry, Ms. Su Luoxue, but one of the three principles of magicians is: never reveal the secrets of a magic trick to the audience after the performance."
Su Luoxue reached out and took the flowers, then looked at Chen Feng and spoke slowly.
"Yasen, the way you look reminds me of a thief."
"Ha, really? You must be that phantom thief who's also good at magic? I learned this trick from watching his performance."
Hearing Chen Feng's answer, Su Luoxue didn't say anything more.
After all, she had suspected the person in front of her before, and because of this, she almost lost a friend.
Fortunately, it turned out that she had been overthinking things.
Su Luoxue didn't stay long; she left after finishing two cups of coffee.
After all, she has just returned to China and is still adjusting to the time difference. She needs to adjust as soon as possible so that she can be in the best condition to deal with the thief in the near future!
……
Night fell quickly.
On the second floor, in Chen Feng's bedroom.
At the table, Chen Feng was writing something furiously under the lamplight.
He wrote thousands of words on the paper with great ease.
a long time.
After writing the last character, Chen Feng finally stopped writing.
Looking at the results of his hard work on the paper, Chen Feng nodded in satisfaction.
A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Mr. Ron, I'm sure you'll like this gift. Also, I hope you have sweet dreams tonight—no, I'm sure you'll have sweet dreams, haha—"
……
Chapter 84 The First Dream Theft
……
night.
In downtown H, at Ron's temporary residence in China.
Inside the bedroom, Ron was lying on the bed in his pajamas.
Holding his phone, he scrolled through recent news and reports, his brow furrowed, looking preoccupied.
"Honey, it's time to sleep."
A slender, snow-white arm reached out and covered the screen of Ron's phone.
"Stop fooling around."
Ron glanced at Jenny beside him, then removed her arm from the screen and continued looking at his phone.
Jenny looked unhappy after her arm was thrown away.
"Now that we've already done it, what's the point of you worrying like this every day? Besides, we haven't had any for several days..."
As she spoke, Jenny's arm slid down Ron's abdomen, but Ron quickly grabbed it.
Ron looked at her and sighed softly, "Sweetie, go take a shower first, okay?"
"All right……"
