Chapter 669 Discovery of the Jade Pendant
The next day at 3 PM, at the hot spring resort.
Zhou Qiao arrived first. When she saw Kong Wange and Wen Luoyun come in together, she quickly waved to them and said, "Sister Kong, Sister Ruoyun, over here!"
The two walked up to Zhou Qiao, and Kong Wange smiled and said, "Why are you here so early?"
Zhou Qiao chuckled and said, "I was so excited about meeting you guys that I couldn't wait to come. I decided to come early and give you the tickets; I've already bought them!"
She then handed the tickets to two people.
Wen Luoyun pretended to complain, "Why are you so eager? I said I'd treat you."
Zhou Qiao waved her hand dismissively: "It's all the same, it's all the same."
Kong Wange and Wen Luoyun smiled and accepted the gift, thanking her in unison. Then the three of them entered the hot spring resort together.
The hot spring resort in the eastern suburbs is very famous in Kyoto. The hot spring water is drawn from Mount Kirigakure diagonally opposite, and it is genuine underground hot spring water. The service at the resort is very considerate and thoughtful, with dedicated staff to introduce and guide you throughout the entire process.
There are many types of hot springs: rose baths, sea salt baths, ginger baths, open-air and indoor baths, single and multi-person baths. In short, if you can think of it, you can find it here.
Zhou Qiao had been chatting happily since she came in. When she got to the changing room, she complained as she changed: "Sister Kong and Sister Ruoyun, you don't know, being in a relationship is not as free as before. I originally wanted to wear my favorite bunny swimsuit, but Qin Feng wouldn't let me wear it. He even said he would buy me a new one. I was really looking forward to it, but look what he bought me!"
She pulled out her swimsuit, and Kong Wange couldn't help but laugh.
The swimsuit was not only a single color, but more importantly, it was extremely conservative, covering everything that should and shouldn't be covered.
She smiled and comforted her, "This just means that Master Qin loves you and is jealous. It's understandable."
Wen Luoyun laughed and said, "Yes, Qiaoqiao, if we didn't know your personality, we would probably think you weren't complaining, but showing off."
Zhou Qiao snorted twice: "I already said that there were only three of us, and no one else was there. He just doesn't trust me."
"Alright, alright, why are you making such a big deal out of this?" Kong Wange said with a smile. "My swimsuit isn't much better than yours, so don't feel bad about it."
Zhou Qiao looked at Kong Wange and saw that her style was also quite conservative, and immediately burst out laughing: "Sister Kong, so your brother-in-law cares about what you wear too?"
"That wasn't controlling, that was moral blackmail." Kong Wange felt a chill run down her spine just thinking about the resentful look Murong Ting gave her when she chose a slightly sexy swimsuit. She coughed lightly and said, "Alright, let's go in now that we're changed."
Zhou Qiao and Wen Luoyun smiled and agreed, but after taking only a few steps, Zhou Qiao exclaimed "Oh dear!" and pulled a pendant from her swimsuit: "I forgot to take this out. Qin Feng said it's not good to be hot. Sister Kong and Sister Ruoyun, you go inside. I'll be right there!"
As she spoke, she clutched the pendant and hurried back.
Kong Wange moved a little further away from her and couldn't see clearly what she was holding in her hand. She assumed it was a small piece of jewelry and shook her head helplessly: "Her personality is really something, always so impulsive."
Wen Luoyun did not respond.
Because she was in a state of indescribable shock.
Kong Wange couldn't see clearly what Zhou Qiao was holding, but she could see it clearly when she got closer. It was a jade pendant, and not an ordinary jade pendant, but the Qin family's Xuanwu jade!
She had seen this jade pendant countless times on the blueprints; she would never mistake it for something else.
She wondered why she hadn't been able to find the jade pendant after using it for so long. It turned out that Qin Feng had given it to Zhou Qiao!
Zhou Qiao actually wore the jade pendant on her body in a very casual manner!
What is this called?
You searched high and low without finding it, only to have it come to you effortlessly.
No, it may still take some effort.
Wen Luoyun pondered that if she took the jade pendant directly today, Zhou Qiao would definitely make a big fuss about finding it missing, and would probably suspect her.
Therefore, if we really want to get this jade pendant, we need to think of a more appropriate way.
Wen Luoyun's thoughts raced through her mind, and finally, she gradually formed a feasible plan.
"Ruoyun?" Kong Wange's voice brought her back to her senses. She smiled and echoed, "I was just thinking that Qiaoqiao is quite good like this. It must be because Master Qin spoils her that she has developed such a personality, unlike me..."
Upon hearing this, Kong Wange automatically assumed that she was thinking about the painful memories of being with Tang Zhi. She sighed and patted her shoulder, saying, "It's okay, things will get better from now on."
Wen Luoyun smiled and said, "Yes, meeting you all proves that my luck has started to change."
Zhou Qiao returned at that moment, and the group went into the hot spring together.
The hot spring water was hot and filled with mist. After soaking for a while, Wen Luoyun said she felt a little dizzy and wanted to go out and sit for a while.
Seeing this, Kong Wange and Zhou Qiao offered to stay with her, but she stopped them: "No need, I'm just a little too hot and short of breath. You guys soak in the water, I'll go out and cool off and come back."
Seeing that she was not seriously ill, the two did not insist on seeing each other again.
"Sister Ruoyun, if you don't get better after a while, remember to call us!" Zhou Qiao said.
"Don't worry, I'm a doctor too, I know what I'm doing." Wen Luoyun gave them a reassuring look before leaving.
Neither of them noticed that the hand card Zhou Qiao had placed on the shelf was replaced with her own by Wen Luoyun when she left.
Once out of their sight, Wen Luoyun didn't go to the rest area, but went straight back to the changing room.
She quickly glanced around, and after confirming that no one was there, she swiftly placed Zhou Qiao's wristband on the locker and taped it on. Beep~, the door lock opened.
She looked around and took out the jade pendant that was inside.
The jade pendant was crystal clear, and the carving of the Black Tortoise on it was lifelike.
That's right, it's the last jade pendant they never found!
Wen Luoyun didn't take the jade pendant directly. Instead, she took pictures of the entire pendant from all angles with her phone, wiped away the water stains and fingerprints, put the pendant back, closed the box, and turned back to the hot spring pool.
As she passed the shelf, she casually switched her cards back.
"Sister Ruoyun, you're back! Are you feeling better?" Zhou Qiao asked hurriedly when she saw Wen Luoyun return.
With her major concern resolved, Wen Luoyun felt much better and said with a smile, "I felt much better after getting some fresh air outside."
"That's good," Zhou Qiao added, "I see there's a restaurant over here, let's eat here after we finish soaking."
“Sure,” Kong Wange replied naturally.
Wen Luoyun smiled and said, "No problem, but let's make it clear beforehand, the meal is on me, so don't try to take it from me again."
“Okay, please.” Kong Wange and Zhou Qiao replied with smiles.
Wen Luoyun felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from her heart, and she no longer needed to try to get information out of Zhou Qiao. She then enjoyed the soaking experience.
She felt a surge of joy, believing that luck was truly on her side and that the day when she could finally get rid of these troublesome people was just around the corner.
After the three of them finished soaking in the hot spring and having dinner, it was already 10 p.m.
After Wen Luoyun returned to the Tang family, she turned on Xu Ruoyun's computer.
The computer contained detailed information about the Five Jade Beasts collected by Xu Ruoyun.
She read it again carefully from beginning to end.
After making sure she had clearly memorized the size of the jade pendant Zhou Qiao was wearing, she went to a shop specializing in jade replicas the next morning and handed the pictures on her phone to the replica craftsman.
