William Charles was so involved in his story that he himself got into it and couldn't extricate himself from his thoughts.
He continued: "my great grandfather's so-called great event was a conspiracy against Chinese workers. He was in his thirties at that time. He sneaked into the camp of Chinese workers with dozens of his men in the dark, and then killed and robbed!
No one knows how many people died as a result of this hooliganism, but surprisingly, not many of the last dozens of people came back alive. In short, when my great grandfather returned to their place of residence with his last breath the next morning, he was covered with blood.
My grandfather was only a teenager. He was about to call my great grandfather, but he found him dead.
However, in the end, my grandfather found something tightly clenched in the palm of my great grandfather's hand. He broke it with great effort and found that it was a dark red jade pendant. "
"Just like me, right?" Zhang Yitian suddenly interrupted William Charles.
William Charles was a little stunned. He looked up at Zhang Yitian, but his eyes stiffened in an instant, because Zhang Yitian had taken out the red jade pendant from his collar.
"This..." William Charleston choked, his eyes stared at the jade pendant in surprise, and his chin trembled.
Liu Yin, who was on the other side, hurried over, stared at the beads and looked at the jade pendant, muttering: "this... Is true, it must be true..."
Obviously, after they saw the jade pendant, they both showed that extreme obsession, just as the cat licked the cat mint.
Zhang Yitian quickly clenched his fist, held the jade pendant, and said warily and coldly, "Mr. William Charles, please continue to tell!"
Zhang Yitian's action calmed William Charles down. Then he couldn't help smiling bitterly and shaking his head and said, "Mr. Zhang, do you know how valuable the things you hang on your body so casually?"
William Charles clearly meant that Zhang Yitian was in love with nature.
This kind of thing hangs casually around his neck. Obviously William Charles can't do it.
"I'd rather buy a bank to protect this kind of thing!" said William Charles.
Zhang Yitian sneered, "I don't need it. I think it's just a thought. And I think it's much safer in my hand than the bank."
Zhang Yitian casually stuffed the jade pendant back into his collar, and then asked, "I think the jade pendant mentioned by Mr. William Charles should be your great grandfather from a Chinese?"
William Charles and Liu Yin showed a jealous and helpless expression one after another. They couldn't help sighing as they watched Zhang Yitian casually deal with the priceless baby.
William Charles has no intention to tell again. He has been busy for so long, of course, just for this jade pendant, and the things he misses so much are in front of him. Naturally, he has no intention of doing anything!
"Yes, that's right!" William Charles quickened the pace of the story. "At first, my grandfather didn't take the jade pendant brought back by my great grandfather seriously, until one day, he found the secret in the jade pendant. You must know Mr. Zhang? There is a God in the jade pendant!"
Zhang Yitian denied it, but did not admit it. He just listened to William Charles continue to tell.
Obviously, things gradually became clear in Charles's story, and the other party had discovered the secret in the jade pendant.
And the time is more than 100 years earlier than Zhang Yitian!
More than 100 years!
I have only used the jade pendant for two or three years. Most people have been left behind in terms of career and physical quality. How powerful is the family that has mastered the secret of the jade pendant more than 100 years ago?
Thinking in his heart, Zhang Yitian couldn't help feeling the cold sweat running. Only then did he understand why he just felt small!
William Charles then said, "my grandfather discovered the secret, but he just found it. He was far from thinking about how to use this extremely valuable resource until he handed over the jade pendant to my father after middle age!
My father is a smart man. He inherited his grandmother. He soon made a small fortune by using the amazing energy in the jade pendant. Then his career grew like a snowball! In 1935, the Charles family's industry had reached 750 million US dollars. At that time, you can imagine what a huge fortune it was!
When the Second World War broke out, I was just born. My father seemed to have discovered the more amazing secret of the jade pendant, and then got through some people in the U.S. military at that time, so he obtained the identity of a special military adviser and went to China... "
"This secret has something to do with my country, right? Because this jade pendant comes from the hands of Chinese workers, he must come from China!" Zhang Yitian asked, "So your father wants to go to China to solve this secret, or find a bigger secret? If I guess right, this secret must be amazing, because your father was a billionaire at that time. He didn't have to go to China for adventure. It was a time of war!"
William Charles smiled and nodded: "Mr. Zhang, your thinking ability is great. You're right. It's a shocking secret!"
"What is it?" Zhang Yitian asked with great interest.
William Charles just shook his head: "I don't know. My father never mentioned it! He went to China, but he hasn't heard from him since then, and this secret has become an eternal secret!"
Zhang Yitian doubted and asked, "didn't your family look for it? In the United States at that time, the Charles family should be one of the richest men? The owner of the family disappeared, and you have the ability to use your relationship to look for it!"
William Charles nodded: "of course, my grandmother was still alive at that time, and my mother was smart and capable. They soon dredged up the relationship and even passed the news to the White House! Moreover, our family sent people to China to look for it in person, and finally got nothing!"
Zhang Yitian nodded at the answer, then seemed to suddenly think of something and hurriedly asked, "I don't think I got nothing? Otherwise I wouldn't be here!"
Charles smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "Mr. Zhang's wisdom is amazing. Your mind is too sharp. I really admire you!"
Charles got up and paced in the small room and said, "indeed, we didn't get nothing. We knew the general situation at that time. The general location of my father's disappearance was near Dongchuan province of your country, that is, Mr. Zhang's hometown!"
Zhang Yitian was suddenly stunned. Although he had just thought of this answer, he felt more incredible when he was getting closer to the answer.
William Charles obviously had the answer, and Zhang Yitian seemed to have a general guess, but he remained calm and looked at each other calmly.
William Charles came to Zhang Yitian. An old and wrinkled palm reached out to the table, took out one of the papyrus filled with things on the table and showed it to Zhang Yitian.
"Mr. Zhang, indeed, I didn't send you the photos you said!" William Charles said calmly, "but one thing I want to explain is that your jade pendant is probably lost by my father in those years! So..."
He didn't finish, but Zhang Yitian already understood what he wanted to say.
Then he gave a cold hum, and Zhang Yitian asserted, "Mr. William Charles, you mean that my jade pendant was lost by your father in those years, and now you want to get it back, right?"
William Charles smiled slightly: "yes, that's what I mean!"
But then he saw that Zhang Yitian's expression suddenly turned cold.
"Impossible!" Zhang Yitian said without any leeway, "This is absolutely impossible. First of all, you can't be sure that this jade pendant is your father's. second, even if this jade pendant is really your father's, it also has a prerequisite, that is, at the beginning, it was robbed from the Chinese by your great grandfather. Therefore, even if my jade pendant is the same as what you said, it will be returned to Zhao at most. I don't have it Here's the reason! "
Zhang Yitian's words stunned William Charles. Zhang Yitian's attitude gave him no reason to refute.
Zhang Yitian went on: "I hope you can understand why your family has that jade pendant. It's because your great grandfather got it by disgraceful means! Whether it's mine or not, it can only be regarded as a good end in the end, because it's originally something of my nation. If I give it to you again, it will obviously lose not only the jade pendant, but dignity. I'm a small person, and I'm afraid to bear it The name of the sinner! "
Zhang Yitian's repeated words made William Charles speechless for a moment. He looked at Liu Yin beside him and showed no expression. Obviously, at this time, he was very smart and chose not to stand on either side.
What Zhang Yitian just said is really a pun. On the one hand, he raised the importance of the jade pendant to an unprecedented level. Although it is some nonsense, he undoubtedly saved the jade pendant.
Moreover, Liu Yin is a Chinese. Zhang Yitian's words obviously make Liu Yin afraid to say more.
Thinking of Zhang Yitian's purpose, William Charles also showed the face of the old fox. Instead of being nervous and angry, he also smiled: "Mr. Zhang, have you made a fuss about raising a jade pendant to such an important level? Well, Mr. Zhang, you can offer a price. As long as it's not unreasonable, I'll promise you, for example... Tens of billions of dollars!"
Zhang Yitian looked up at the other party and said that this guy was really generous. When he opened his mouth, it was billions of dollars!
But think about it. Decades ago, the family had hundreds of millions of capital. Now, it is likely that their property is beyond imagination.
But Zhang Yitian thought of another crucial question!
Why did this William Charles do this?
And his father, at that time, he was one of the top capital giants in the United States.
Their father and son would rather spend so much money to get the jade pendant, or look for the secret behind the jade pendant. Is it understandable that compared with this secret, these billions of dollars are hardly worth mentioning?
