âSir, you sure have high standards, these are already some of our best stock.â Only then did the old man raise his head to scrutinize Quan Yu.
âHow much is this?â Mo Li suddenly picked up a ring and asked in a soft voice.
Quan Yu glanced at the ring, the diamond was so small and the ring was old-fashioned. It would look better on trophy wives than a young girl. However, he didnât say anything because he trusted in Mo Li.
âLady, for you, I am willing to part with it for 300,000 RMB.â The old man chuckled. But to his surprise, Mo Li frowned. âNever mind. The longer I look at these jewels, the more pedestrian I find them to be.â
Seeing the old manâs anxious expression, something dawned on Quan Yu. He lifted his sleeve which had the cuff link to pluck the ring away from Mo Li. âHmm, this diamond is also too small for you. Is there other stock?â
When Quan Yu raised his hand, the old manâs eyes finally landed on that canary diamond cuff link. The old man suddenly became alert. He remembered clearly it was not Quan Yu who came to purchase this particular cuff link from him. After all, there were not that many people who could afford this cuff link.
The old man remembered the original buyer also because they had a little chat after the transaction was done. The buyer said he wanted to custom make a pair of cuff links because he would attend many events. He wore suits of the same style so he wanted something to make him stand out. That was why he frequented the old manâs shop to custom make the canary diamond cuff links. That particular transaction was also the biggest one old man had made that year.
So⦠how did the original buyerâs cuff link now appear in the possession of this man?
âYou two arenât here to make a purchase, are you?â The old man sat back down on his seat. Many things had happened around Pearl River recently. Even though Quan Yuâs people had done their best to seal up the news, as a member of the black market, it was the old manâs job to keep himself updated on these things. When the old man saw the canary diamond cuff link on Quan Yuâs sleeve, he had already guessed the purpose of their arrival.
âWe are indeed here to make a purchase, a purchase of information. Who bought this cuff link from you?â
âIâm sorry but that is client confidentiality.â That was what he said but Quan Yu understood how things worked here. Everything could go for a price.
Mo Li shrugged. Pearl River might be big but there were only so many people who could afford these cuff links. After eliminating the people from the Xiao Family, Mo Family and Quan Family, there wasnât that many people left.
Quan Yu didnât waste time. âThere are 3 million US dollars in this card. That should be enough to buy several pairs of this cuff links.â
The old man nodded casually. He had already gotten the things he wanted. âHere is the list of the customers who have ordered custom-made jewelry from us. It includes their pictures and contact information.â
The old man was quite an organized shopkeeper. The list was very detailed.
To Mo Li and Quan Yuâs surprise, they couldnât recognize the buyer.
âWho is this?â Quan Yu frowned. He was expecting someone familiar but this was a completely fresh face. Plus based on his way of dressing, the original buyer didnât look like someone who could afford a pair of canary diamond cuff links.
âAre you sure this is the buyer?â Mo Li couldnât help but ask. Different from Quan Yu, Mo Li felt the man look quite familiar but she couldnât place it.
The old man nodded.
Quan Yu sent the list to Ah Si. When Quan Yu saw the report Ah Si returned, he was shocked.
