Priceless Baby: 101 Bedside Stories

Chapter 537: The Extremely Overbearing Old Master Qian!

Jonah seemed to have prepared earlier. He smiled slightly and pulled out a certification. It was a Gubelin certification. Besides the Gubelin certification, there were also certifications from major jewelry appraisal firms. All the certifications were displayed on the big screen.

Shen Qianshu’s face froze. The auction was done so hurriedly. Where did they have the time to send for certifications? Unless there was an appraiser who had already been waiting earlier, or perhaps… all these certifications were fake. She herself was a Gubelin appraiser, so she knew the best.

This was such a big diamond. Hence, the appraisal work should be extremely complicated and would require at least one month’s time to appraise. How was it possible to complete it within a short span of a few days? This was not a 1-carat diamond. It was a 1600-carat original diamond!

“Master Noah, are you satisfied?” Master Jonah smiled as he asked. He had always been resilient and had a very good attitude towards the people whom he depended on for his livelihood. Shen Qianshu’s thin lips showed a tint of ridicule.

Tong Hua who was at the side stood up in a calm and collected manner. “I have a question. I heard my brother say that this safe required triple passwords. I have been to all kinds of big and small auctions for countless times, but I have never seen a diamond being placed in a safe for auction. Since the diamond has been appraised, I believe you have also opened the safe. Can you take out the diamond?”

Jonah’s face froze. He was scolding in his heart. Is this pair of brother and sister here to make trouble?

He saw that he had better not trifle with them. He also did not dare to throw his temper. It would not be good if he stirred up a hornet’s nest.

It was rumored that Noah had a very strong backing. He did not even give any face to the royal family. When he rejected them, it meant that he rejected them. If it were not for his fearlessness, there was no one who dared to do such a thing.

Shen Qianshu suddenly realized something.

Right, Tong Hua had reminded her. This safe can only be opened by Master.

Jonah’s gaze fell on an auctioneer. He stood up and said in an unhappy tone, “Master Noah, are you here to auction or find fault? Your questions are one after another. If you don’t want to auction, you can leave. We want to auction!”

Shen Qianshu’s eyes were black and bright like stars. “This gentleman, I believe that not everyone present in this place is a friend of Master Jonah. Similarly, not everyone can trust Master Jonah’s character. Since this is the case, everything will have to follow the proper procedures. Is there anything wrong with that? You don’t care about the certification, and you don’t care about the origin of the diamond, but we care. From what I have heard, this diamond was produced in the Golden City Rudolras Mountains. This mountain area belongs to Master Ye Ling from City A. Master Ye Ling and I are old friends. He knows that I am a gem lover and has told me that if I am interested, I can make a trip to Golden City. Upon reaching Golden City, Ye Ling’s subordinates contacted me and informed me that something had happened to Master Ye Ling in the mine. The diamond had been stolen by someone when it was being transported. Master Jonah, since you are the diamond’s owner, can I please ask whether the origin of this diamond is proper? Your opening bid is one billion. If I had bid two billion for it, but it turned out to be a hot potato, who can I reason with? What if Ye Ling asks me for it? Should I give to him or not?”

There was an uproar at the auction in an instant.

Ye Ling was missing, and it was not known whether he was dead or alive?

Ever since the diamond was out from the mountain, it had been kept a secret. Many people did not know that this diamond belonged to Ye Ling.

However, the majority of the people here all knew who Ye Ling was.

If this diamond had been taken away from Ye Ling’s hands, who would dare to auction for it!!!

“Noah, where did you hear the news from? This mountain range itself belonged to me. It did not belong to Ye Ling!” Jonah said in a low voice.

“Master Jonah, please don’t make any irresponsible remarks. This mountain range produces diamonds every year. We can find out who it belongs to just by checking with the origin bureau. Even if you brag, you are also not afraid of twisting your tongue. Now, here’s my question. Can you open the safe!”
