Chapter 1293: Blood Diamond

1996, Cape Town, South Africa.

There is a lonely cabin built on a desolate cliff near the sea at the southern tip of Cape Town.

At this moment, several jeeps were parked outside the wooden house, while lights were on inside the wooden house, and there were people moving around.

Inside the house, an old man with gray hair and a monocular glasses in his left eye was carefully examining the diamonds in his hand in front of the light.

The diamond weighed a full four carats and had a pink glow throughout.

When the old man was seriously examining the diamonds, he saw two groups of people standing on the front and back sides of the old man.

The group in front are all fierce and strong men; the group behind are all gentle men in suits.

The two groups of people all held various guns and weapons in their hands, and they looked extremely nervous.

Obviously, the two groups are making an extraordinary and extremely important deal! One side is eager to sell, and the other is eager to buy.

It was cold and windy on the cliff, and the temperature inside the wooden house was not high, but the cheeks of these people were covered with sweat. Apparently, the atmosphere at the scene has become tense to the point of solidification, and everyone's rough breathing can be heard clearly...

The white-haired old man should be a gem appraiser. Every time he appraises a diamond, he will nod to the people in suits behind him, indicating that the diamonds he inspected are genuine and of excellent quality.

Although there are many diamonds, it is obvious that the appraiser does not need to test all of them. The white-haired old man just selected a dozen or so larger diamonds.

Seeing that the selected diamonds were about to be appraised, the personnel on both sides breathed a sigh of relief, and the transaction could be carried out immediately.

However, at this critical moment when the appraisal was about to be completed, with a gunshot, a burst of blood burst out of the white-haired old man's body. die!

At the same time, several gunshots rang out in the wooden house one after another!

The people on both sides have long been nervous to the extreme, but at this moment they suddenly saw someone sneaking a sniper, and they naturally thought that the other party wanted to take advantage of others!

So, no one hesitated at the scene, they all picked up their weapons and shot at each other...

bang bang bang...

for a moment,

There were loud gunshots and flashes of light in the cabin.

ah... ah ah...

Immediately afterwards, there were screams under the chaotic gun battle!

At such a close distance, under the violent bursts of fire from both sides, no one survived, and they were all shot and fell to the ground.

Hearing the gunshots, the people standing guard outside the house also rushed into the wooden house immediately and joined the battle.

bang bang bang...

Da da da……

After another shot, there was no one standing in the room...

In this way, more than a dozen people died in this sudden internal strife in the blink of an eye, and there were not many left.

At this time, only one person in a suit was still alive. This person was covered in blood and had been shot several times. He was almost dead, but he was still holding on to a metal box, struggling to crawl towards the door.

Due to the serious injury, every step he climbed seemed very difficult, and a winding bloodstain also oozes out on the ground...

clatter...

Suddenly, there was a soft sound behind him, and the man quickly turned his head and looked back.

As a result, at a glance, his eyes suddenly showed great horror and fear. He never expected that the white-haired old appraiser who was shot first stood up quietly like a devil!

The old man stood up, and after seeing the dead bodies all over the floor, a smug sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. Then, he picked up a pistol on the table and shot dead the dying man in a suit.

Due to the inertia of the bullet, after the man died suddenly, the box in his hand fell to the ground and opened, revealing a dazzling stack of US dollar bills...

This money was used by buyers to buy diamonds. At that time, it was definitely a huge sum of money!

However, the white-haired old man didn't even bother to look at it. He just went straight to the table, put a lot of diamonds in his pocket, and carried them with him.

Then, he went outside the hut and poured the gasoline he had prepared on many corpses and cars outside.

Then, he ignited the gasoline...

The fire suddenly shot up into the sky, illuminating the white-haired old man.

In the next second, the old man took off his hood and beard, revealing a young and stern face...

...

Time flies, in the ancient castle of Miracle Island in Fiji.

The restaurant in the castle is luxuriously decorated, showing aristocratic style everywhere, especially the long dining table, which looks like an ancient British court model.

What Jasmine prepared for everyone was naturally delicious. In addition to the classic British meals, there were also many local Fijian specialties, such as lobster and abalone.

However, in the face of such delicious food, everyone at the scene obviously didn't have the appetite to feast on it, and they were still discussing about diamonds.

Especially Miao Kun, he thought that Zhao Yu couldn't understand English, so he took the opportunity to repeat what happened just now to Zhao Yu in Chinese, saying:

"This incident is quite famous in the industry, and it dates back to South Africa 22 years ago," Miao Kun told Zhao Yu calmly while observing other people's reactions, "Everyone knows that South Africa is rich in Diamonds, and Africa Senna Company, is a giant among diamond companies, almost controlling more than 40% of South African diamond mining and export.

"22 years ago, a group of robbers with unknown origins robbed the company's diamond warehouse and took away a batch of priceless loose diamonds.

"The robbery was clearly planned carefully, and there was an internal response, the gangsters almost did not fight, and the robbery was very easy.

"Because the behind-the-scenes funders of Africa Senna are British nobles, and it involves the gray area of ​​the two countries, the robbery has not been announced to the outside world.

"Afterwards, the UK used all its resources to investigate the matter. In addition to more than a dozen elite agents, many business tycoons, including Green, also participated in it to help gather information.

"However, three days later, people found the bodies of the robbery suspect and the suspected buyer from a cliff hut on the coast of Cape Town.

"But it's a pity that the hut has been destroyed by fire, the body has also suffered serious damage, and the diamond is even missing!"

"Well... I also heard my father mention it," Simona who was sitting next to Zhao Yu also said in Chinese at this time, "He said that those buyers came from the Netherlands, and there were traces of burning US dollars at the scene... I really don't know. I understand, the person who stole the diamond actually burned the money!"

"To be honest, I doubted Green at that time," Miao Kun said, "but, just like his daughter said, he is already so rich that he can't afford to go into this troubled water!

"Everyone knows that diamonds are stained with blood, and anyone who wants to pay attention to it will pay a heavy price! Even a tycoon can't afford it."

"Okay, okay, now it's fun!" At this moment, Yusuf on the opposite table suddenly said in English, "Hurry up and take a look, someone has cut off our communication!

"I mean, Miss Jasmine..." He stood up and said to Jasmine who was seated in the master's seat, "I'm a big business every minute, isn't it a bit too much for you to block our signal?"

"Hmph..." Jasmine still said with a cold expression, "Everyone, I want to emphasize again, this is not a prank my father played on you guys!

"You should know what those diamonds mean to some people, so..." She said flatly, "Just in case, the news about the diamonds cannot be leaked out yet, so I have to wrong everyone first! "

"Tsk tsk... It's terrible..." I heard the black man holding his mobile phone and said, "This game can't be 'eating chicken'..."
