So later, when he heard that the Jade Bracelet had been switched out by someone, he was worried for a long time; fortunately, it was later found to have been taken by Ou Yuze.
Without saying anything else, he appeased with a nod, "Hmm, I bought this from someone back when I was making jewelry, spent quite a bit of money, so, don’t lose it again."
It meant... the pair of Jade Bracelets had already been lost, and this time he was going to take one piece, which absolutely couldn’t be lost again.
Ou Mucen casually agreed, and reached out to take the Jade Pendant from inside.
But he saw that this Jade Pendant, compared to the other pieces, was even more unique. There were no patterns on it, just a jade bead the size of a thumbnail. This jade bead, smooth and rounded, gave a very real sense of the coolness of the jade when held in hand. Inside, the patterns were like clouds, breathtaking and beautiful at a glance.
"This is the ’heart of jade,’ which is polished from the very center of the whole piece of jade stone, and it’s the most expensive in this set of jade ornaments. It’s said it was worn on the chest of an imperial concubine for burial, and these blood threads, they were formed at that time."
Ou Mucen opened his mouth wide, looking at the bead in his hand in astonishment...
Does that mean that this jade bead is actually Blood Jade?
Suddenly, he remembered the time in Japan, when that man had wanted to give Ye Ning a small Jade Pendant at a banquet.
That Jade Pendant was just a small leaf, and some people at the scene had already appraised it at over a million. So this jade bead, with its blood threads so clear, so natural, wouldn’t it be even more valuable?
He finally understood why that man only wanted the pendant, and after holding it in his hand, he returned the rest, "Alright, I’ll just take this one."
Seeing him indeed choosing the most precious bead, the old man felt a pain in his heart. But thinking of his current madness, he dared not say anything further, and with a helpless nod, he collected the box again.
With the Jade Pendant in hand, Ou Mucen was ready to leave.
Seeing this, the old man wouldn’t let him drive himself, so he hurriedly came out personally. After calling the butler over, he let him go.
"By the way, Dad, there’s nothing shady about the origins of this set of jade ornaments, right?" Ou Mucen didn’t know why, but he suddenly asked before leaving.
Upon hearing the question, the old man escorting him to the car turned green with anger, "What do you mean? Do you think I’m a murderer or arsonist? That there are shady origins?"
Ou Mucen didn’t say anything in response, turned around, and got into the car...
He wasn’t afraid that he was a murderer or arsonist, but he wondered if this uncanny method of saving someone actually worked, whether illicit origins of the jade would have any negative impact on her?
After all, some things now could no longer be explained by science.
Ultimately, though, he didn’t ask, nor did he think about it anymore. Instead, upon returning to the hospital, he went to the intensive care unit, dragging his almost exhausted body to the woman who had been declared brain dead.
It had been two days, and because of his coma, Ji Chengzhi had eventually declared her brain death!
However, considering his feelings, taking into account his mood upon waking, he hadn’t removed her breathing tube, nor had he made a public announcement. Instead, she was still lying here, waiting for him to see her one last time.
