Chapter 454: Jade Longevity Lock
Another hospital.
Several men in executive jackets stood at the door of the operating room, carrying briefcases.
The leading man was calm.
As the operating light went out, the doctor came out.
Ma Chao’s wife immediately stood up and rushed over like crazy.
"Doctor, how is my husband?"
"The patient suffered a severe brain injury and multiple organ damage. His life has been saved, but he is likely to become a vegetable."
Mrs. Ma felt as if the sky had fallen, her eyes went dark, and she fainted.
Several people hurriedly supported her.
"A vegetative state? Ma Chao, if anything happens to you, this family will fall apart!"
The public servants standing nearby couldn't help but feel a bit of sympathy when they saw this scene.
"Leader, what should we do?"
I was here today to conduct an investigation, but something went wrong halfway through.
The man waved his hand, signaling them to stop talking.
He handled the matter in a businesslike manner, took out the document and handed it to Mrs. Ma.
"These are the evidence of Ma Chao's illegal crimes..."
"You are so cruel. He has become a vegetable. Do you still want to tie him up and put him in jail?"
"no……"
"Then get out of here. Anyway, I have nothing now and I'm not afraid of you. If you have the guts, tell him to stand up and confront me."
The man sighed, collected the documents, and walked away.
This case can only be put on hold.
Xiang's office building.
Xiang Shaoan looked at the scenery downstairs with his coat draped over his shoulders.
The assistant came in hurriedly.
"Miss, Ma Chao has become a vegetable after the car accident."
"Not dead?"
The assistant shook his head: "The official cause of the accident has been announced. It was snowing and the road was slippery. He was also drunk driving, which led to the accident."
"Besides, the superiors have already left, and since he has become like this, the investigation into the case has to be stopped."
"I understand. You can go out now."
If he is in a vegetative state, then he will never wake up.
At noon, Xiang's father pushed the door open and came in with a smile on his face.
"An An, your mother asked us to go home for lunch today, saying that there are guests coming."
"good."
I invited a master sculptor to my mother's home.
When Xiang Shaoan and Xiang Dafu returned home, the dishes had already been served.
"You're back, come on!"
Introducing to her mother: "This is Master Yang, An An, the jade longevity locket you were given when you were born was the work of Master Yang."
Xiang Shaoan frowned calmly.
Jade longevity lock?
How come she has no impression of this thing?
Aunt Chen appeared at the right time and put the dishes on the table.
"That longevity lock was lost when I brought the young lady back home."
She looked at Xiang Shaoan with a smile, and there was an indescribable tenderness and kindness in her eyes.
Mother Xiang sighed, "It's a good thing it was lost. Later I thought, fortunately, An An had the longevity lock with her. I guess the traffickers were blinded by money and thought the longevity lock was more valuable than the child."
Xiang Dafu also sighed: "Yes, yes, the objects are not important. What is important is that our baby daughter returned safely."
Xiang Shaoan smiled gently: "Mom, what does the longevity lock look like?"
Master Yang took the suitcase and opened it, revealing six jade longevity locks.
He pointed to the first piece and said, "This piece is exactly the same as the one you had when you were a child, but the material is not as good as that one."
She thought of the pendant Zhao Yuanyuan was wearing around her neck, and it seemed to be the same.
"Master Yang, have you made this type of lock for many people?"
"No, the style of this longevity lock is specially customized according to your birth date."
Strange, how come Zhao Yuanyuan has a jade locket?
Could it be that she has something to do with the human traffickers back then?
Thinking of this, Xiang Shaoan felt a little cold in his heart.
She must not let this bitch go!
Mother Xiang took her daughter's hand and said, "An An, I asked Master Yang to come here today because I want you to choose. The New Year is coming soon, and you will be twenty years old. Mom wants to order another longevity lock for you when you are twenty years old. See if there is a style you like here."
"Mom, since the lock is custom-made, let's keep it the same as before."
She smiled and said, "Master Yang, what do you think? I think the first lock you carved is particularly beautiful."
Master Yang smiled and said, "Okay!"
He waved his hand to Dafu and said, "Then please help me find a better material."
Watching them exchanging ideas about rough jadeite, Xiang Shaoan gathered his thoughts.
Looks like she has to take back what belongs to her.
Zhao Yuanyuan is an orphan and doesn’t deserve to wear such precious things!
After lunch, Master Yang did not stay long.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon and companies are starting to take holidays one after another.
Xiang Shaoan was hiding in his bedroom when Aunt Chen knocked on the door, carrying dessert.
"Miss, have some dessert, they are all your favorites."
Xiang Shaoan put down her phone, looked at the food plate, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She stood up and sat on the chair, smiling sweetly at Aunt Chen.
"Thank you, Aunt Chen. Sometimes I feel that you treat me better than my mother. You know all my preferences!"
Aunt Chen's eyes suddenly turned red, and her emotions were surging: "What are you talking about? I have taken care of you since you were a child, how could I not know your preferences?"
"That's right, Aunt Chen, I want to eat the seafood porridge you made tonight."
"good."
Aunt Chen smiled kindly, feeling relieved.
Xiang Shaoan ate the pudding bite by bite.
"Aunt Chen, when you brought me back home, did you really not see the longevity lock?"
Aunt Chen was startled and tried to keep her voice steady: "What's wrong?"
"I have seen a similar longevity lock on a person."
Xiang Shaoan recalled carefully: "I was still wondering, is it ..."
"Miss, this longevity lock must have been stolen."
She wondered, "Are you sure?"
Aunt Chen nodded: "I found you not long after you were lost, but I didn't see the lock. I guess it must have been stolen."
“Is that man rich?”
Xiang Shaoan shook his head: "She is an orphan."
Aunt Chen seemed to have thought of something, and her tone was a little impatient: "Miss, this person must not be a good person! You must stay away from her."
She paused and continued, "This longevity lock is very valuable. Even if it was resold, it would never end up in the hands of an orphan. The only way to get it was by stealing. Maybe the person who took the longevity lock was someone she knew."
After such guidance, Xiang Shaoan suddenly understood one thing.
"I was wondering why she had such a good relationship with the director of the welfare home? If the director stole the jade and gave it to her, such an expensive thing should be kept as a treasure!"
This way, everything makes sense.
"Aunt Chen, now that I know about this, I will stay away from her."
Aunt Chen nodded, with a bad feeling in her heart.
She was negligent back then. If she had known that she would switch the babies, she should have checked it more carefully. If the longevity lock was on Xiang Shaoan, there would be no hidden danger.
There is always a loophole!
"Miss, that person's longevity lock was originally yours. Do you know her address? I'll go get it back for you!"
