Chapter 536 A pile of "broken" stones
The safe is actually not very big, less than 100 square meters, but the things inside are numerous and diverse, including jewelry, antique jade and porcelain, famous paintings, various gemstones and diamonds. In addition, there are a lot of red wines. Precious red wines produced all over the world are stored in a whole wall of wine cabinets. A rough glance shows that there are at least a thousand bottles.
These red wines alone are estimated to be worth tens of millions of US dollars, and people are scrambling to collect them.
Antonio also likes wine, and he is not particular about the type of wine, as long as it is good wine, he likes it.
He announced excitedly, "These red wines belong to me."
Tang Qi's heart was bleeding, his face was as cold as ice, and his voice was extremely cold, "Whatever you want."
Antonio's men quickly moved away all the valuables, leaving the room in a mess, with hundreds of large and small, gray stones of strange textures piled in the corner.
Antonio walked over, kicked one of the stones with his toes, and said with a puzzled look, "I don't understand why she likes to collect these ugly stones."
Tang Qi had a blank expression on her face, but she was slightly worried in her heart.
This pile of stones are all precious raw gemstones, all detected by Xiao Ba using her supernatural powers and brought back by her from all over the world.
In addition to the common rubies, sapphires and emeralds, the stone that Antonio just kicked casually contains the very rare boron-magnesium aluminum silicate ore, which has the same bright luster as diamonds, but its color is more dazzling than diamonds. A well-cut boron-magnesium aluminum silicate gem can refract three shades of blue, green and white at the same time.
To put it bluntly, this pile of inconspicuous stones is worth as much as, or even much more than, the wealth that Antonio moved away.
Fortunately, Antonio was not interested in these stones. He looked around the safe that had been moved to an empty shelf, and told Tang Qi in a good mood:
"From now on, this place belongs to you. Do you want me to ask someone to help you clean up the garbage here?"
Tang Qi replied calmly: "No, I will redesign and decorate this place myself. From now on, this will be my private office."
Hearing this, Antonio looked back at her with interest, "If you are interested in doing business, why don't you help me? Arms? Smuggling? Drug trafficking? Or pornography?"
Tang Qi's face darkened, and his voice was so cold that it seemed to contain ice. "I am not interested in anything you said!"
Seeing that she was angry, Antonio raised his head and laughed. After laughing, his usually cold voice became a little warmer. "You are so cute, my beautiful girl. How could I let you get involved in such dangerous businesses where you could lose your life at any time? However, if you need my help here, I will do my best."
"unnecessary."
Antonio was rarely angry after being rejected. He knew that Tang Qi wanted to use this place as an office and business, so he was in a good mood.
In his opinion, Tang Qi has undoubtedly gotten over the grief of her lover's death and started planning for the future. She has established her own career and power here, which means that she has become accustomed to and accepted the life here.
This is what he is happy to see and hopes for.
Before the two left, Tang Qi closed the safe door casually. Antonio looked at her and said nothing.
In the following days, Tang Qi came here every day and asked workers to clean the entire building. He also drew the design drawings himself and asked the decoration team to start the decoration.
As for the underground safe, she had the thick safe door removed and, based on the original safe, expanded the basement of less than 100 square meters to about 150 square meters, turning it into a place that combined office and living.
At the entrance are the office and small conference room. Through the corridor against the wall, you will enter the small living room and the single bedroom. A ventilation hole directly to the ground is specially dug to ensure smooth air flow even for long-term residence.
Antonio didn't know whether he was busy dealing with the wealth he had just acquired or for other reasons, and she went out early and came back late every day, so the two of them hardly saw each other for a whole week.
That day, Tang Qi had just returned to her residence when Yang Xiaoqing suddenly rushed out to stop her and angrily asked, "Tang Qi! Are you deliberately avoiding me?"
Tang Qi looked up and down at the pale and thin Yang Xiaoqing, and probably guessed the reason why the other party stopped her.
During this week, every day when she came back from going out, she would prepare food for the next day for Xiaojiu. Yang Xiaoqing, who was deliberately ignored by her, was miserable. No one cared about her life or death. She didn't even have three meals a day. There was only a hardwood board to sleep on, and she didn't even have a pillow or quilt.
The average temperature in Ciudad Juarez does not exceed 20 degrees. It is okay during the day, but the temperature at night is below 15 degrees. Just looking at Yang Xiaoqing's condition, you can tell that this week has been very torturous.
Being looked at by Tang Qi's penetrating eyes, Yang Xiaoqing's face turned red with embarrassment and anger, "Speak! Are you mute?"
Tang Qi sneered, walked around the other person and continued forward.
Yang Xiaoqing stared at Tang Qi's slender back with resentment in her eyes. She slowly raised her right hand hidden behind her back, revealing a dagger flashing with cold light, and stabbed straight into Tang Qi's back.
“Go to hell!”
The tip of the knife was less than a palm's distance away from Tang Qi's back. Yang Xiaoqing showed a ferocious and complacent smile on her face, but the next second, no, less than a second, her eyes blurred, and before she could react to what happened, the dagger in her hand was kicked away. Tang Qi, who had his back to her, was standing in front of her, pinching her neck with a sneer on his face.
Please...you...collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠBar (Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\Bar!)
"you……"
As soon as she opened her mouth, she found that she could not make any sound. It was obviously not very painful, but her eyes began to become blurry, her brain went blank, and a fear of the approaching death shrouded her heart.
“Let go, let go…”
She tried her best to utter unclear and hoarse syllables, and her face turned purple from forcing the sound.
It was not until thirty seconds later that Tang Qi let go.
Yang Xiaoqing knelt on the ground like a tattered sack, holding her throat with both hands, coughing heart-wrenchingly, her face covered with tears.
Tang Qi picked up the dagger that was kicked aside, and saw the gold-plated patterns on the handle. He secretly sighed, thinking that Katie's taste had remained as vulgar as ever for ten years.
Guessing that Yang Xiaoqing had almost recovered her breath, Tang Qi half-knelt in front of her holding a dagger, the cold blade pressed against Yang Xiaoqing's face and slid all the way to her throat.
With the sharp knife tip against her throat, Yang Xiaoqing stared in horror, not daring to move. "Tang, Tang Qi, what do you want to do? Murder is against the law. Aren't you afraid of going to jail?"
Tang Qi chuckled and was about to speak when she suddenly smelled a strong smell of urine. She quickly blocked her nostrils with the back of her index finger, stood up and stepped back a few steps.
Instead of feeling embarrassed, Yang Xiaoqing felt relieved.
Tang Qi turned the dagger in his palm and asked Yang Xiaoqing nonchalantly, "You should know that no matter whether you succeed or not today, your end will be very miserable.
I'm curious, what benefits did Katie give you, or what did she agree to your request, that made you work hard for her?"
