"You bastard, why are you snatching it? It's Xiaobai's, not yours."
Liu Xuyang muttered.
"I'll catch it first and see it first, okay?"
Zhang Mingming was disdainful.
"Stop showing off, let's take a look together."
Dong Yuan said.
"Put it on the table, let's watch it together!"
Wang Dong also said.
"Is it gold?"
Zhang Yingying also came over.
"This thing is quite heavy, weighing several hundred grams. This kid Xiaobai is going to have good fortune."
Zhang Mingming weighed it first before putting the thing in his hand on the table.
This is a lump as big as a pigeon egg, like a small piece after a large piece was smashed, emitting a golden glow. There is no doubt that it is a piece of gold, weighing about two or three hundred grams.
Jiang Xiaobai also looked at it, thinking, this should not be given to him by Wang Wu or Su Qian. With their status, it is impossible to bribe or please someone with only 100,000 or 80,000 yuan. Even if they really gave money, it would be a bank card or cash. After all, this is not ancient times, and gold is not currency.
"Is the current gold price 370 or 400? This thing should be worth 100,000, right..."
Zhang Mingming's eyes sparkled and he swallowed his saliva.
"The price of gold a few days ago was three hundred and ninety-four. It's probably going to be about the same today."
Dong Yuan said.
"Let me see if there's anything else in there."
Liu Xuyang poured half of the box of books onto the ground and fumbled around for a long time, searching all the gaps. However, the black suitcase was empty, with nothing else inside.
"This surface seems to have some patterns."
Zhang Yingying pointed to a small cross-section of the gold nugget. Everyone took a closer look and found that the surface was indeed flat, with some fine textures on it, and some very small symbols could be vaguely seen.
Jiang Xiaobai frowned slightly.
"This must be something my colleague forgot in there. I'll take a picture and tell him about it."
Jiang Xiaobai took out his phone and quickly opened the Gold House to scan the code, pointed it at the small gold nugget, and clicked Scan. With a beep, the scan result came out.
"Golden chunks."
"Origin of item: unknown."
"Item manufacturing time: unknown."
"Owner: Wang Wu."
"Source: Fragments of the Heavenly Wheel."
"Quality: 99% gold, 1% unknown component."
"Hidden attribute: Gather all the fragments to restore the Heavenly Wheel."
Jiang Xiaobai's pupils shrank slightly, and two cold rays flashed in his eyes. If he hadn't reacted yet, he would be a fool. Even if he didn't know what the Heavenly Wheel was, he could guess that it was not an ordinary thing just based on the 1% unknown component.
Wang Wu is really not a good person. I thought Wang Wu asked Su Qian to give him a box of books so that he would not pursue Su Qian. Now it seems that Wang Wu deliberately diverted the blame and threw this trouble to him.
When Xiao Guo heard on the phone that Huang Xiaohu had run away, he had a bad feeling.
Wang Wu and Huang Xiaohu are both from the mysterious Doomsday No. 1 organization. Huang Xiaohu's martial arts skills are better than Wang Wu's, but he is just a small bodyguard.
Why would he become a bodyguard when his martial arts skills had reached this level?
He felt that it had something to do with Wang Wu's big black box, or more precisely, with this small piece of gold.
Of course, this is just his guess, and he has no idea what the truth is.
"Xiao Bai, don't be so hasty to tell your colleague. Maybe he himself doesn't even know there's this thing in here, right..."
Zhang Mingming blinked.
"You are so smart. Xiaobai works in XJD, so his colleagues are also from XJD. Is it worth it to lose face for such a piece of gold?"
Wang Dong kicked Zhang Mingming.
"right!"
"Yes, yes! Since it belongs to someone else, just give it back. Okay, let's go out for dinner."
Liu Xuyang and Dong Yuan said quickly.
"Set off!"
Several people left the house.
Although it was already past six in the afternoon, the sky was overcast and there was no sun. Gusts of cold wind were blowing, and there were signs of rain. Jiang Xiaobai locked the window and left.
Jiang Xiaobai originally planned to take them out of the village to Shangri-La for a meal, after all, there was 100 million in the card and he had to spend it. But they were worried that Jiang Xiaobai had not come out of the shadow of "broken love" and going to Shangri-La would be "revenge consumption", so they refused to agree and just let Jiang Xiaobai find a random restaurant in the village to eat.
Jiang Xiaobai had no choice but to find a random restaurant and invite a few people to dinner. After dinner, they went to a KTV next door to drink and sing.
During this period, Zhang Yingying deliberately had a video call with Bai Jie first, and then gave the phone to Jiang Xiaobai, so that the two could deepen their relationship.
Jiang Xiaobai had drunk quite a bit of wine and was in a bad mood (Jiang Xue hadn't contacted him so far), so he let himself go a bit. The conversation between them became more and more intimate, and by the end, they both felt like a young couple who were reluctant to part and couldn't wait to be together.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Yingying quickly winked at Wang Dong and the others. Wang Dong and the others understood and stood up, indicating that it was getting late and it was time to leave.
Jiang Xiaobai hung up the video and returned the phone to Zhang Yingying. He received a coordinate sent by Bai Jie on WeChat.
After everyone left the KTV, Jiang Xiaobai called a taxi for Wang Dong and the others. After sending them away, he stood in front of a trash can on the side of the road and vomited. He vomited for five or six minutes, almost throwing up everything he had eaten in the afternoon. Only then did he feel better.
I walked a few dozen meters forward and sat on the steps in front of a closed cake shop, looking at the street. There were few pedestrians on the street in the early morning.
The dim street lights emitted a faint light, lengthening the silhouettes of passers-by. Occasionally, a few taxis sped across the street.
Jiang Xiaobai took out his cell phone, opened the address book, clicked on Jiang Xue's phone number, took a deep breath, plucked up his courage, and decided to call Jiang Xue.
Made a call...
"Sorry, the number you dialed is powered off."
This disgusting voice came from the other end of the phone.
"It's already past midnight, so it's normal to turn off the phone. I'm really overthinking it..."
Jiang Xiaobai comforted himself.
I opened WeChat and decided to send a message to Jiang Xue.
"I miss you..."
He finished editing the sentence and was about to click send. After hesitating for a moment, he deleted the sentence and edited a new one:
"...Are you okay?"
After careful consideration, I felt that these three words were quite appropriate. I nodded with satisfaction and pressed send.
A red exclamation mark appeared in front of the message he sent, and a line of small gray text appeared below:
"The message has been sent, but was rejected by the other party."
"Is this a blacklist?"
Jiang Xiaobai watched calmly.
Watching...
Watching...
Suddenly, a dazzling flash of lightning cut through the dark night sky.
"Crack!"
There was a deafening roar of thunder that made people's eardrums hurt.
A gust of wind blew dust and garbage from the street towards him...some dust particles blew into his eyes.
He rubbed it with his hand, but it still felt a little astringent.
"Why did you vomit on your clothes just now?"
Jiang Xiaobai looked down and saw that his white T-shirt was dirty. He frowned, put his phone in his pocket, and stood up. There happened to be a mineral water bottle at his feet. He kicked it and the mineral water bottle flew out and flew accurately into the trash can.
"Go change your clothes... hehe..."
Jiang Xiaobai walked towards the house he rented. For some reason, his legs felt as if they were filled with lead and were a little heavy. There was still sand in his eyes, which made him feel very bitter.
A flash of lightning flashed by.
"Crack!"
There was another loud thunder... and countless raindrops as big as soybeans fell.
"Pah pah pah…"
It splashed water on the road and also fell on Jiang Xiaobai.
"Wow…wow…"
Heavy rain fell.
Jiang Xiaobai continued to walk slowly, his hair and clothes were instantly soaked.
"It's raining really hard."
Jiang Xiaobai wiped the rain from his eyes, and his eyes felt better. He smiled and walked slowly in the rain...
It's cold and icy, with a slight numbness, and it feels good.
Occasionally, one or two pedestrians taking shelter from the rain at the door of a roadside shop would look at him with strange eyes.
He ignored it.
After a while, he returned to the door of the building where he rented.
Just as he was about to go in, he saw a girl squatting at the door of the building next door, and she was soaked like him.
The girl had a ponytail, a white T-shirt, blue jeans, and wore a pair of large black-framed glasses. She leaned against the electronic door, squatted on the ground, hugged her knees, and shivered.
Feeling Jiang Xiaobai looking at her, she slowly raised her head.
The two looked at each other...
"Girl with glasses?"
Jiang Xiaobai was a little surprised.
The girl with glasses he was talking about was the girl named Susan in their class, and the jade peace pendant was stuffed into his hand by Susan.
