147. Jewelry transaction, message for the Minister of Defense

  Upon arriving at the gate, he was immediately stopped by the guard. Chen Chen didn't panic and smiled calmly as he took out a box, opened it, and handed it over: "Please check if there are any explosives installed. If confirmed safe, would you please pass this to the lady? Tell her that a jewelry merchant wants to see her."

  The gate guard caught sight of the exquisite hairpin inside, but he was still very careful and carefully checked the box all over again to make sure there were no problems before taking it through the garden into the house.

  Before long, the gatekeeper hurried back and opened the small door, saying: "Sir, your wife is waiting for you in the living room."

  Chen Chen smiled faintly and walked through the gate, passing through the garden towards the interior.

  Indeed, jewelry has an incomparable allure for women, not to mention that it's from the era of Alexander the Great, something imperial, how can it be anything but extraordinary?

  As soon as she entered the living room, she saw a beautiful woman wearing a fur coat sitting on the sofa, and the jewelry box with hairpins was placed on the tea table in front of her. At this moment, the woman was staring at the box in a daze.

  It wasn't until Chen Chen walked up to her that she came back to herself, immediately standing up to greet him: "Sir, please sit down and talk."

  Chen Chen smiled and nodded in greeting, then sat down across from the woman. The woman also sat down and immediately asked: "Sir, are you a jewelry merchant?"

  "Yes!" Chen Chen nodded and glanced at the box on the tea table: "This little thing should be able to prove my identity."

  "Of course." After observing Chen Chen's expression, the woman no longer had any doubts and asked seriously, "You came to find me, wanting to sell jewelry, right? Honestly, I really like this hairpin. If you have similar accessories, you can take them out for me to see."

  "Actually, I came to see you about something." Chen Chen took off the necklace from his neck and gently placed it in front of her: "I once got a necklace, my girlfriend loves making crystal pendants, she wants to find another one to match, Mrs. should understand, girls are all very romantic, thinking this will have special meaning, I asked many colleagues, only to learn that you have the other piece here, so, would it be possible for you to take it out and let me see it?"

  "Haha, you've certainly gone to a lot of trouble." Upon hearing this explanation, the woman couldn't help but laugh and immediately got up and shouted: "Bring a cup of tea for our guest!"

  As she spoke, she swayed her elegant figure and went upstairs, while the servant brought over a cup of tea and placed it in front of Chen Chen.

  Chen Chen was not in a hurry, taking advantage of the woman's absence, he took out a piece of paper and a pen, wrote down Zhao Jia's father and son's collusion with the chief staff officer behind the scenes, as well as the possible harm it could bring, and then put it in the jewelry box.

  After doing all that, she picked up her tea cup and took a sip. At this time, the woman also returned with another jewelry box, sat down, opened it, and gently pushed it in front of Chen Chen.

  Inside the jewelry box, a gold hairpin lay quietly, with hollowed-out carvings on top that looked very delicate. In the center of the hairpin was inlaid a thumb-sized sapphire crystal, and around it were also inlaid fragments, looking exceptionally luxurious.

  The iris scanner immediately gave a prompt, and the crystal was indeed Catherine Crystal without a doubt.

  A faint, almost imperceptible smile played on the corner of Chen Chen's mouth as he looked up at the woman: "Indeed, it is the same crystal, madam. I have an impertinent request to make - would you be willing to part with this hairpin and let me take it away to coax my girlfriend? Would you be willing, madam?"

  "Do you want to use this hairpin for exchange?" By this time, the woman had also figured out Chen Chen's intention. She smiled faintly, and her profound and mysterious face didn't reveal what she was thinking.

  Chen Chen was also in no hurry, savoring his tea and letting the other person consider slowly.

  After a while, the woman slowly opened her mouth and asked: "I also know a little about collecting knowledge. This hairpin seems to be quite old. Is there any special origin?"

  "This is what I collected in Europe." Chen Chen put down his teacup and nodded: "No need to doubt, it's from the time of Alexander the Great, and it's likely just one of the insignificant parts of his vast wealth."

  "Jewelry and gems, the older the more precious..." The woman nodded in satisfaction, her eyes gazing at Chen Chen with a hint of amusement: "Mr. is indeed a romantic, willing to pay such a high price to please his girlfriend. Honestly, if it's really from Alexander the Great, its value would be much higher than this hairpin."

  "For a smile from Bo Jia, throwing away ten thousand gold pieces is nothing." Chen Chen casually spread out his hands.

  "For a smile from a beauty, what's the harm in throwing away ten thousand gold pieces?" The woman's eyes flashed with surprise, and her gaze at Chen Chen also softened: "You're really a romantic, being your girlfriend is truly a happy thing. Alright, your sincerity has moved me, I agree to exchange."

  "Then thank you, madam, for sparing him." Chen Chen's hanging heart finally put down.

  He had been thinking that if the other party was unwilling to exchange, he would find a way to rob or steal it, but as it turned out, he was overthinking, and a casual remark unexpectedly moved this woman, and it was indeed an unintended gain.

  At this point, the two exchanged jewelry boxes. Seeing that their goal had been achieved, Chen Chen bid farewell and left, while the woman did not show any intention of stopping him.

  However, before leaving, Chen Chen turned his head and hinted with a double meaning: "Madam, why not let the Minister of Defense take a look at the new jewelry as well? I'm sure he'll like it too."

  Having said that, he walked out of the gate and went away, leaving the woman alone in a daze.

  Driving away from the Minister of Defense's residence, the sky had already completely darkened. Chen Chen found a deserted place to stop and immediately entered the prison.

  Now that the first step of the plan has been successfully completed, we can proceed with the next action.

  He walked quickly to the light factory, found the temporarily staying Glassesnake commander and Kiren, and directly stated his intention: "Last time I gave you the original solution of that medicine from Zhao's family, now I need you to replicate some according to the formula."

  "Replicate that medicine?" Upon hearing this request, both of them were taken aback: "The medicine we currently have is more effective, why not use our own?"

  "I'm not for your use, but for another purpose." Seeing that the other party didn't understand his intention, Chen Chen hurriedly explained: "In short, just do as you are told, I have my uses."

  "After some thought, he added another sentence: 'Right, if possible, add a small amount of G virus component to increase the violent tendency and destructive desire of the vaccinated person, that would be perfect.'"

  "Alright." Since Chen Chen spoke up, Commander Glasses Snake and Ji Lian didn't dare say much more: "The formulas are all ready-made, it should be completed soon."
