Chapter 434 I Will Run
"Yellowbird? Bird?" Jack laughed. "I like birds."
Hussein said cunningly, "Bribing off the security guards and colluding with insiders seems like Dave's style. We can steal the jewelry from Dave like we did before and pin the blame on the unfortunate Dave. Oh, and those stupid police will chase Dave and have no idea we're there."
Li Liao: "While Dave is being chased and all the firepower is being diverted, we can take the opportunity to quickly leave Baogang with the jewelry. There's a Chinese idiom for this trick, called escaping from the shell."
The three of them looked at each other and burst into laughter.
The three of them have completely different appearances, and even if they stand together, people would not think they are a gang.
Furthermore, they were incredibly cunning, having committed numerous crimes, but their names and appearances were often mistaken by the ICPO for others, placing them far behind others on the wanted list. Even this time, when the ICPO alerted Baogang, they didn't designate them as key targets for surveillance.
On the day of the jewelry show, Hu Xiaoxiao arrived at the convention and exhibition center two hours early and came to the lounge prepared for her by Quanfu Jewelry.
The person who took over from her today was Miss Bai from Quanfu Jewelry. Hu Xiaoxiao and Miss Bai were acquaintances. Every time she went to Quanfu Jewelry to shoot endorsement posters, the person sent by Quanfu Jewelry to take over was Miss Bai.
Miss Bai brought several sets of clothes customized according to Hu Xiaoxiao's size for Hu Xiaoxiao to choose from.
Hu Xiaoxiao asked about jewelry information to help her choose better clothes.
Miss Bai said, "Sister Xiao, please take your pick. The styles and colors of these clothes have been carefully considered to showcase the jewelry."
After much deliberation, Hu Xiaoxiao finally chose a one-shoulder white dress with a large hem, which made her look particularly graceful when she walked. "Miss Bai, now I know what jewelry we are going to show you today, right?"
Because the jewelry was about to be unveiled and there were no other outsiders in the lounge, Miss Bai explained the jewelry to Hu Xiaoxiao in detail so that Hu Xiaoxiao could be prepared and better display the jewelry on the catwalk later.
"This is a rare, vivid pink diamond jewel, weighing 16 carats and valued at 300 million yuan. It is the most expensive jewel ever created by Quanfu Jewelry. Its price and quality place it among the world's rarest jewels. Quanfu Company has spent three years preparing this treasure, hiring a renowned chief cutter to meticulously polish it, striving to create a stunning masterpiece, using it to raise Quanfu Jewelry's international profile and expand its overseas jewelry business..."
Although Hu Xiaoxiao hadn't seen the actual piece yet, she was already looking forward to it. Pink diamonds are rare, let alone a Fancy Vivid pink diamond weighing 16 carats, making it a truly rare treasure.
The stylist has arrived and is styling Hu Xiaoxiao's clothes and jewelry.
Hu Xiaoxiao has a great foundation and looks good in any style. Today, the star of the show is the jewelry, not Hu Xiaoxiao himself. With Hu Xiaoxiao's consent, the stylist created a simple look, but this simplicity still reflects Hu Xiaoxiao's temperament and the charm of the jewelry.
"Sister Xiao has great hair quality. It looks good no matter how she tie it up," the stylist praised.
The hairstyle he gave Hu Xiaoxiao was as simple as it could be, with just a high ponytail tied at the back of her head and no other decorations.
But this ponytail is also very particular. The height of the ponytail fits Hu Xiaoxiao's face shape. In order to prevent the hair from pinching the scalp, making it simple yet sophisticated, the stylist made Hu Xiaoxiao's hair fluffy.
The simpler the look, the harder it is to create and the more it tests the stylist's abilities. Stylists who lack the courage to create such simple looks wouldn't dare to do it.
The stylist carefully scrutinized Hu Xiaoxiao's face and makeup, meticulously attending to every detail. Even the hair tie she wore was tried on over a dozen different styles before ultimately choosing simplicity over extravagance. This simplicity would highlight the extraordinary beauty of the jewelry. With any other model, the stylist wouldn't have dared such a risk, but with Hu Xiaoxiao, this face, even without any intervention, was truly the pinnacle of elegance.
A simple shape, a sophisticated face, and rare jewelry will create a stunning effect.
Just as the design was completed, there was a knock on the door. Miss Bai went to open the door and saw a man in a gray suit standing outside.
"Is Xiaoxiao here?"
Hu Xiaoxiao turned around. It was the first time she saw Steven dressed so formally. At first glance, she thought he was a rich young man who came to watch the show. "I'm here."
Steven walked in and looked around the lounge. Besides Hu Xiaoxiao, the only people in the room were Miss Bai from Quanfu Jewelry and her stylist. "Something's up."
Seeing that Hu Xiaoxiao had something personal to do, Miss Bai had just chosen her clothes and finished her styling, so she went out with the stylist and gave the place to Hu Xiaoxiao and Steven.
Steven didn't exchange many pleasantries and said directly, "Please pay close attention to the jewelry show later. The jewelry you are going to wear is the most valuable piece in this international jewelry exhibition. Many people will come today for it."
Hu Xiaoxiao stood up and asked, "They won't just come and rob us, right?"
Steven wasn't sure what those desperate people would do, so he could only tell Hu Xiaoxiao, "Put your personal safety first. If you see something's wrong, it doesn't matter if you give them the jewelry. No matter how valuable the jewelry is, it's not as important as the person. As long as the person is there, everything is fine."
Hu Xiaoxiao saw the seriousness of the situation from Steven's serious expression, nodded, and said, "Okay, if I see something's wrong, I'll run. I run very fast, and they may not be able to catch up with me."
Hearing Hu Xiaoxiao's words, Steven couldn't help but smile at this serious moment and said, "It doesn't matter if you can't run. Just throw the jewelry to them, and I'll take care of the rest. Don't worry too much. Today's security is almost all the officers in Hong Kong. Various contingency plans have been made for every link. As long as you don't change your itinerary and prevent them from finding an opportunity, you will be safe."
In order to prevent various emergencies, not only is there several layers of security in the convention and exhibition center, but there are also layers of security outside the convention and exhibition center.
Steven knew that Hu Xiaoxiao was very brave, and was worried that she would only care about protecting the jewelry and forget about her own safety, so he came to her in person to remind her and told her that there were quite a few thieves coming today.
"So many people sneaked in just for this piece of jewelry?" Hu Xiaoxiao asked.
Steven said, "Aside from the Quanfu jewelry, the other jewelry on the runway are also valuable treasures. All the jewelry on display today is their target. It's just that the piece you're wearing is the most valuable, and the most people are staring at it."
