Chapter 687: Getting Reported

The circular ball transformed into something like a searchlight.

It floated over the stones and released a red light.

The light shone on one of the stones and not long later, the light disappeared and the circular ball transformed into something like a pen. It quickly flew around the stone and started drawing lines on top of the stone.

The lines were fully drawn on it very soon. ​Zi Yi put away the circular ball after it was done and turned to look at Lu Jingye.

He asked, “Can this circular ball draw lines for stones that are several tons heavy?”

Zi Yi nodded her head. “Yes.”

Having said that, she handed the circular ball to Lu Jingye. “You can bring this along with you tomorrow. I’ve also set up a system that can detect the elements inside the stone. When you arrive there, you can bring back any type of jadeite you like.”

Lu Jingye looked at the small circular ball in his hand and chuckled. He didn’t expect there would be a day where he had such a cheat-like item.

He put the ball in his pocket and caressed Zi Yi’s head. “Since the lines are drawn, do we do the cutting ourselves?”

Having said that, he planned to roll up his sleeves to do the cutting.

Zi Yi pulled his hand and said, “No need, let Shadow II and Shadow IV do the work.”

Lu Jingye: “…”

Oh well. Since his wife likes to use advanced robots as manual labor, he had no reason to voice a contrary opinion.

With the guiding lines, cutting the stone was very fast. When something that was as transparent as that of glass appeared before their sights, Zi Yi said, “If this gem is made into accessories, it should reap profits of around a billion dollars.”

“Yes.”

Lu Jingye said, “I’ll get people to make them into small ornaments and have it placed at home instead of making commodities to be sold.”

Zi Yi did not have an opinion on that.

Just as Shadow II and Shadow IV finished cutting the stones, knocking sounds could be heard from the gates near the courtyard.

Shadow II and Shadow IV stopped their work and covered the raw stones and jadeite with a piece of cloth. Only then did Shadow head over to open the door.

Soon, an inquiring voice could be heard from outside. “Excuse me, is this the residence of Mr. Lu from China?”

“Yes, and who are you?”

“Hello, I am a courier from XX Express. There’s a delivery for Mr. Lu, please sign for this.”

Zi Yi tilted her head and looked at Lu Jingye. “Ah Jing, what did you buy?”

“I didn’t buy anything.”

Lu Jingye headed to the courtyard as soon as he said that.

Zi Yi quickly tagged along.

Just then, Shadow said, “Please hold on for a moment. I’ll check with the owner.”

The courier was clearly feeling impatient. “It’s the same as if you signed for the delivery. I have to rush to deliver the next delivery.”

“This is not my package.”

When Lu Jingye spoke up, Shadow made way for him.

The courier looked at the man making his way over. He was startled by the strong aura Lu Jingye radiated and swallowed his saliva. However, at the thought of the task on hand, he said in a loud voice, “The address written here is this place and it’s addressed to Mr. Lu. Aren’t you Mr. Lu?”

Lu Jingye looked at the courier for a few seconds. When cold sweat started emerging from the courier’s forehead, Lu Jingye motioned to Shadow. “Sign for it.”

Shadow went over and signed for the package

The courier took the receipt, turned around, and drove away.

Looking at the large parcel placed outside the gates, Zi Yi got Shadow to scan what was inside.

Shadow placed his hand on the parcel. He then stood up and said, “There’s a person inside. They are in an unconscious state.”

Zi Yi somehow thought of the incident Bu Di and Sang Bo experienced last night and said to Lu Jingye, “Ah Jing, do you think Dan Wei got someone to send this here on purpose? There might be police officers arriving to arrest us later.”

Lu Jingye’s expression turned cold. “Yiyi, change all the surveillance around here.”

“Alright.”

Zi Yi took out her phone and quickly operated it.

Lu Jingye said to Shadow, “Take care of this parcel, don’t leave any evidence.”

“I understand, Master.”

Shadow’s speed in taking care of the parcel was very quick. He was done in less than a minute.

Zi Yi and Lu Jingye could not be bothered to look at the person inside the parcel.

Sometime later, Zi Yi said to Lu Jingye, “Sure enough, the police are here.”

They went back in and closed the gate. Lu Jingye then rolled up his sleeves and personally operated the cutting machine.

Zi Yi stood next to him and acted as an assistant.

Around five to six minutes later, sounds of police sirens could be heard from outside. In the end, the police cars were parked outside their gates.

Bam! Bam! bam!

Zi Yi and Lu Jingye stopped working at the sound of the knocking.

Lu Jingye motioned to Shadow. “Go open the gate.”

Shadow walked over, opened the gate, and asked, “What can I do for you?”

A stern-sounding voice could be heard. “We received a report that the owner of this villa kidnapped the daughter of the Yale Family. This is a search warrant, please cooperate with us.”

Shadow did not get flustered and said, “Please hold on, I’ll go and get the owner of the villa.”

“Are you trying to tip off the owner?” The voice sounded even sterner than before. “You had best cooperate, or else don’t blame us for arresting all of you.”

“Since that’s the case, please allow me to call the Chinese Embassy first. We are not citizens of Country Em and even if you wish to arrest us, it seems like you should not have skipped past the authority of the embassy.”

The other party was clearly speechless. A few seconds later, the man ordered. “Surround this villa, no one is allowed to enter or leave.”

“Yes!”

Shadow took out a phone and dialed the number of the Chinese Embassy.

After he was done with the call, the other party said, “Call your owner to come out.”

Zi Yi and Lu Jingye made eye contact. Lu Jingye washed his hands and headed outside in large strides.

Zi Yi followed along.

There was an officer and a number of policemen standing by the door. Those policemen were even equipped with guns.

Zi Yi grabbed Lu Jingye’s hand and hid behind him as she spoke in a frightened tone. “Ah Jing, what are they trying to do? They look so scary.”

Lu Jingye furrowed his brows and pulled her into his embrace. His sharp gaze turned to look at the officer standing outside.

“What’s the matter?”

The young man standing opposite of him was clearly around his age, but the officer felt his heart palpitating. He tried calming himself down and spoke in a particularly harsh tone to cover up his nervousness. “Someone reported that you kidnapped the daughter of a businessman from our country…”

“Who made the report? Where’s the evidence?”

“Ugh…”

Lu Jingye’s voice was too oppressive and even though the officer was interrupted by him, he dared not flare up at him. In particular, at the thought that Lu Jingye was from one of the eight great aristocratic families, he dared not barge in despite the higher-ups ordering him to search the place without any worry for repercussions.

“Cough…” The officer cleared his throat and tried to remain stern. “We cannot reveal the one who reported it, but there is irrefutable evidence.”

Having said that, he turned around and ordered his men. “Bring the witness.”

Soon, the courier who came over previously was brought over.

The courtier looked at the three with a frightened expression. “I personally saw them dragging in the box that had a person inside.”

“Box? What box?” Lu Jingye looked at Shadow.

Shadow answered in a serious tone, “Young Master, we did not receive any boxes today, not to mention bringing any boxes inside.”
