Diamond earrings.

Cheng Yi, Bai Yu Tian and Huyen Di got out of their car, and they saw Tina vomit.

Chu Gian held her gun downward, and she scanned the surroundings for shooters.

Yue Gu Zai rubbed Zhen Zhen’s sweaty back.

‘Zhen Zhen, I thought you were fearless,’ Yue Gu Zai said.

Zhen Zhen rubbed her chest. She was an ordinary civilian. It would be strange if she wasn’t scared of bombs and bullets aimed at her.

‘Whoever blew up the casino is going to die,’ Bob said.

‘Who else do you think would bomb the casino?’ Bai Yu Tian asked.

Everyone knew the only other gang who would dare to oppose Ni Sheng was Tan Lang.

‘Mr Phil, we signed a contract,’ Bob said. ‘I have no relationship with Tan Lang.’

‘You only need to go back to the casino and see what you can salvage,’ Yue Gu Zai said. ‘Our contract is still valid. I’ll deal with Tan Lang myself.’

‘Mr Phil, I’ll leave everything in your capable hands,’ Bob said.

Bob and Tina left in their car with Bob’s guards.

Chu Gian and Huyen Di drove their gang members back to Yue Gu Zai’s home in Las Vegas.

Two days later, William Hill left Las Vegas on a business trip. Zhen Zhen read scientific books while Yue Gu Zai was busy working.

When Yue Gu Zai returned home late at night, he noticed Zhen Zhen was restless.

‘Zhen Zhen, tomorrow I’ll assign Xiao Zhao to drive you to places you want to visit,’ Yue Gu Zai said. ‘Remember to wear the blue diamond earrings I bought you.’

Zhen Zhen agreed, and she was excited to go out in the morning.

The following morning, Zhen Zhen dressed and she walked to the black car waiting for her outside.

In the black car, Zhen Zhen didn’t recognise the driver.

‘Where’s Xiao Zhao?’ Zhen Zhen asked.

‘Xiao Zhao’s busy today,’ the man said. ‘He asked me to drive Miss Zhen Zhen sightseeing today.’

Zhen Zhen suspected the man was lying, because Xiao Zhao wouldn’t disobey Yue Gu Zai’s order.

‘What’s your name?’ Zhen Zhen asked. ‘What is your role in Ni Sheng?’

The man didn’t reply. Zhen Zhen tried to open the door, but the door was locked. Suddenly the man turned around, and he struck her head. She was in a lot of pain, but she bit her tongue to stay conscious.

The man drove toward the location Tina instructed him to take Zhen Zhen.

Zhen Zhen grabbed the steering wheel, the man braked, she unlocked the doors, opened the door and she ran out of the car.

The man chased after Zhen Zhen. Unfortunately, the car stopped on a cliff road.

‘Who are you?’ Zhen Zhen asked.

Zhen Zhen suspected the man was one of Ni Sheng’s traitors.

‘You don’t need to know who I am,’ the man said. ‘All you need to know is you offended someone.’

‘If you dare to kidnap me, Gu Zai will kill you,’ Zhen Zhen said.

The man wanted to curse Tina. Tina didn’t tell him Zhen Zhen was related to Yue Gu Zai. But it was too late, he couldn’t let Zhen Zhen escape and have Yue Gu Zai hunt him down.

Zhen Zhen took a step back from the man, she slipped on a rock and fell down the cliff.

‘Ah…’ Zhen Zhen cried out.

The man tried to grab Zhen Zhen’s arm, but he only caught her blue diamond earring. He dropped the earring, got in the car and drove far away before anyone saw him at the cliff road.

One hour later, Yue Gu Zai and Cheng Yi stopped the car at the same cliff Zhen Zhen fell down. They found Zhen Zhen’s blue diamond earring on the cliff road. Yue Gu Zai had asked Cheng Yi to install a tracking chip in the Zhen Zhen’s earrings.

‘Boss, there are tyre marks here,’ Cheng Yi said. ‘The footprints belong to your wife. She was running away from someone. The other footprints belong to a man.’

Cheng Yi saw Yue Gu Zai’s worried face, and he knew if he didn’t help find Zhen Zhen soon then Yue Gu Zai would throw him over the cliff.

‘Call everyone here to look for my wife,’ Yue Gu Zai ordered. ‘No one can stop looking until she’s found.’
