Chapter 58

Although Chu Ge had decided to make a move, he was not in a hurry to do it just yet. After careful considerations during these last few days, he had come up with a plan to deal with He Zhenyu, and an essential part of this plan was to get rid of all suspicions on him completely.

As an intelligent person living in modern society, Chu Ge was well aware of the monitoring and law enforcement capabilities available. It wasn’t like the ancient times when someone who had killed a person and committed a crime was able to flee anonymously and disappear. If the authorities targeted Chu Ge, he would face endless troubles. Therefore, he had to use a different name to complete his revenge.

Thanks to the Disguising Technique, which was a significant skill, his plan was carried out smoothly.

First of all, he went to buy a car. If he wanted to do this, he could not do it without a car. Then, Chu Ge arrived at the gold shop in the Hidden Treasure House.

He didn’t show anything unusual at all as if everything that happened earlier that upset him had not occurred. He also didn’t show that he was suspicious of this gold store. Chu Ge directly entered the Hidden Treasure House’s gold shop.

“Hey, I’m looking for your manager. I have a big business deal that I want to talk to your manager about,” Chu Ge said bluntly to the shop assistant he’d met several times before, standing in the business hall.

The shop assistant recognized Chu Ge and knew that he was a regular customer. The shop assistant quickly picked up the phone and said a few words. In only just a few moments, Jin Fugui came down from upstairs and looked at Chu Ge with an incomparably surprised expression.

“M…Mr. Chu? You have come,” His stuttered a little bit. Obviously, he was a bit nervous and could not believe what he was seeing. His eyes looked at Chu Ge with some suspicion and caution.

Chu Ge was not surprised at his reaction. If the matter regarding him being kidnapped had nothing to do with Jin Fugui, then it would be too strange. In that case, Jin Fugui must know that Chu Ge had killed the three people who kidnapped him and escaped. In other words, the two of them now considered each other as enemies. The reason why they were not fighting and tearing each other apart was that they were both afraid of getting the police involved. If both of their matters were exposed, where one was a kidnapper and the other a murderer, then they would have to bear all the consequences.

Therefore, not exposing each other’s crimes became a self-evident understanding between the two of them. Unless one of them was sure that they could solve their problem or wanted to change the current situation, both of them were likely to remain silent.

Right now, such an understanding had been broken, which meant that the person who broke the silence was obviously going to do something.

Jin Fugui was also a person who had gone through many troubles. After a brief shock and surprise, he quickly regained his composure. He displayed a kind of professional smile on his face and said tentatively, “Ah, it’s Mr. Chu. Welcome. What kind of business would you like to do here at the shop this time?”

Chu Ge slightly smiled, “Hehe, of course, it’s gold. Apart from gold, what else can it be? I have some more gold products to sell this time,” Chu Ge said, as he took out the gold mask from his bag and handed it over.

This gold mask was one of the burial objects obtained from opening the treasure box inside Horace’s Crypt. This mask was made of pure gold and weighed half a kilogram. There was a ruby between the eyebrows of the mask. Not only was the material expensive, but its design style was also quite elegant and exquisite. There were complicated patterns and strange shapes on the mask. At a glance, it was possible to tell that this mask was not an ordinary gold item.

At first, Jin Fugui was surprised as he picked up the gold mask to take a closer look. Then, his face suddenly turned pale.

“What is it? Does Mr. Jin have any thoughts on this mask? Is there something wrong with the material of this mask?” Chu Ge asked with a smile.

“No, no problem. It is indeed gold,” Jin Fugui said with a trembling voice. Of course, there was no problem with this gold mask. Although it didn’t seem like pure gold, its purity was not low. Also, the ruby inlaid on the mask appeared to be a real, natural gemstone. It was the precious pigeon blood. If that were the case, then the price of this gold mask would be extremely high.

Of course, this was not the reason why it had made Jin Fugui feel uncomfortable. He felt uncomfortable because he always thought that Chu Ge had been lucky in the past and found a gold mine where he was able to get the Kobold’s Gold. However, as soon as this gold mask appeared, it indicated that the gold he possessed was not obtained the way Jin Fugui had guessed. After all, this kind of golden accessory couldn’t appear in a gold mine. The only explanation was that this gold had come from somewhere else.

It may be from an inheritance, it may be a gold item he invested in, or it may even be a stolen item. But in short, it could not be dug out of a gold mine.

In this case, Jin Fugui’s previous plans and guesses were entirely in vain.

If it was just a pile of ordinary gold, even if it was worth tens of millions of yuan, it didn’t have any particular significance to Jin Fugui. After all, there were many rich people in the world. It was not worth kidnapping someone for gold that’s worth millions. At least for the current Jin Fugui, it would not be worth it at all, because the value of this gold chain store he owned was worth far more than the gold, not to mention the financial power of He Zhenyu and the force behind him.

Only an unexploited gold mine was worth it for them to obtain through illegal means. Even if they were only able to occupy it for a short time or share a bit of the benefit, the earnings would be astonishing. However, all these predictions were in vain.

This gold mask that Chu Ge possessed conveyed a message that he indeed has a bit of gold on him, but it had nothing to do with a gold mine.

Jin Fugui looked up at Chu Ge. He knew very well why Chu Ge wanted to sell this gold mask to him. Chu Ge was saying that he did not have a gold mine.

In this case, was Chu Ge trying to say he wanted to make peace? At least there was no need for the two of them to be hostile to each other any longer. Looking at the smile on Chu Ge’s face, Jin Fugui could not help but smile bitterly. If he had known this earlier, he would not have let He Zhenyu interfere in this matter. However, it was now too late for this. Since he had lost three men, He Zhenyu, who was in charge of this matter, would not let it go like this.

At the thought of this, Jin Fugui could not help but feel a bit sad.

“There is no problem with this mask. I am wondering how Mr. Chu will be selling this? Will it be auctioned according to its handcraft or be sold normally according to the amount of gold? Also, for the ruby on this mask, although it is not very big, it seems to be a natural gemstone. Are you going to sell it together with the mask?”

Chu Ge said, “The same as usual, just sell it normally according to the amount of gold. As for that ruby, please give me a price and sell it together if it is suitable.”

In a short time, the gold mask was tested. It had 98% purity and weighed a little over 500 grams. It was worth a total of 175,000 yuan. The ruby weighed 2.5 grams and was estimated to worth around 83,000 yuan. In total, the two items were worth 258,000 yuan.

Chu Ge had no objection to this price. After he received the money, he nodded to Jin Fugui, then turned around and left.

Watching Chu Ge walk out through the entrance of the Hidden Treasure House, Jin Fugui’s expression changed for a while. He immediately pulled out the phone and hesitated for a bit. In the end, he did not make a call. After thinking about it, he went straight out the door and got into the car. Then, he drove away with one foot on the throttle.

Not far from the entrance of the gold store was a black Audi. Chu Ge looked at the disappearing white BMW behind the black window with a sneer, and he followed after the car.

He did not stick too close. Instead, he stayed far away. Chu Ge had already installed a locator under the other car, so he just had to follow the signal.

Half an hour later, the signal stopped in one place and no longer moved. Chu Ge followed the signal. To his surprise, it turned out to be a martial arts school, or at least, it looked like one. The sign outside the door said four words, “Real Martial Arts Club.”

Doesn’t He Zhenyu run a security company? How come it was a martial arts club? This guy seemed to be involved in a lot of businesses. Was this where He Zhenyu stayed? If not, at least it was where he often visited.

Chu Ge looked at the white BMW outside the entrance. Yes, it was Jin Fugui’s car. He Zhenyu was probably inside.
