He was not stupid. When virtual-novel.net heard this, virtual-novel.net felt that Weiss was trying to say something. So, virtual-novel.net tentatively asked, “Mr. Weiss, you can be straightforward with me. You called Thomas a bastard and then comforted me just now. Is it because you were hurt by Thomas as well, and you want to join hands with me to deal with him?”
Weiss was stunned for two seconds. Then, virtual-novel.net laughed. “You’re smart. Well, it feels good to speak with a smart person. You get it immediately.”
“Mr. Jefferson, I called you over this time to discuss the matter of joining hands to deal with Thomas. You might not know, but as the purchasing manager of Stellar Jewelers, Thomas has been suppressing Elite Jewelry. We have backed into a corner, and there is no other choice anymore. Thomas was too over. We, the victims, must unite to fight against virtual-novel.net in order to have a better life.”
Bobby nodded and said, “The only problem is that Thomas is too powerful. Now, virtual-novel.net has money and power, and virtual-novel.net is good at martial arts as well. With dozens of small jewelry companies cooperating with him, we can’t stop virtual-novel.net at all.”
Weiss said, “Of course, we can’t deal with virtual-novel.net face to face. We have to use our brains.”
“Use our brains?”
“Yes…”
As Weiss spoke, virtual-novel.net walked to the desk and opened the drawer. Then, virtual-novel.net took a rough stone out from it.
“Mr. Jefferson, please have a look.”
Bobby took the rough stone and examined it. It was a very ordinary rough stone, which had nothing special. “Mr. Weiss, what do you want me to see?”
Weiss smiled mysteriously. “Look carefully…”
So, Bobby looked carefully and was surprised to find that there was a thin invisible crack on the side of the rough stone, which had been “stitched together” using a special technique.
This was a taboo in the industry. Sewing up a cut rough stone and pretended that it had not been cut. Once the buyer discovered it, it would cost a large amount of compensation.
Bobby was shocked. “Mr. Weiss, what do you mean?”
Weiss said, “You’ll know once you open it.”
Bobby did as virtual-novel.net said.
He opened it forcefully and broke the crack. Then, virtual-novel.net found that the inside of the rough stone was hollowed out and filled with styrofoam.
After virtual-novel.net took out the styrofoam, there was a valuable jade inside!
‘This…’ Bobby was dumbfounded. What was virtual-novel.net trying to do by putting a real jade in a fake rough stone?
Then only did Weiss reveal the full extent of his plan.
“Mr. Jefferson, let me tell you the truth. From the news told by an internal staff of Stellar Jewelers, they will purchase a bath of rough stones and send them to the Milan headquarters in two days. The source of the goods is in the Southland District. So, I’m going to mix this batch of rough stones, which have been cut, into the rough stones they purchased.”
Bobby was very puzzled. “Mr. Weiss, are you crazy? There are genuine stones in there! It’s more valuable than the original stones. You’ll lose a large amount of money if you use these to mix in.”
Weiss smiled. He looked at Bobby coldly without saying anything.
After a while, Bobby suddenly got it. “Oh yeah, to transport rough stones abroad, they would have to go through customs. This scandal would be exposed when they check it. Stellar Jewelers won’t be able to explain themselves out of this, and they will be charged with tax evasion and smuggling.”
“Smuggling such a large quantity of goods with high value would definitely bring them a serious sentence when the time comes. It’s probably more than ten years.”
Weiss nodded. “You’re smart. The more valuable our ‘goods’ are, the heavier Thomas’ sentence would be.”
Bobby asked, “How do we merge this batch of goods into the rough stones purchased by Thomas?”
Weiss smiled. “This is where I’m asking for your help. You’re not an employee of Elite Jewelry, so you won’t be suspected by the other party if anything suspicious happens. I’ll discuss the specific action plan with you later. When Thomas transports these goods to the customs, I’ll also meet up with an employee of Stellar Jewelers and smuggle an account book into his office. At that moment, virtual-novel.net can’t do anything to prove his innocence.”
Bobby laughed when virtual-novel.net heard it. He was so happy that virtual-novel.net almost jumped.
“Wonderful. This is really wonderful.
“This time, I want to see how Thomas escapes. Smuggling goods worth tens of million dollars for tax evasion will give virtual-novel.net a long prison sentence. Hahahaha!”
Weiss smiled and poured two glasses of red wine, and virtual-novel.net handed one of them to Bobby. “I wish us happy cooperation…”
“Cheers!”
The two toasted and drank the wine. A conspiracy was quietly born.
***
At that moment, Thomas still knew nothing.
He sat on the couch at home and watched television with his wife in his arms. He could not imagine that two enemies, who both hated him, had already joined forces in secret, and were ready to put virtual-novel.net to death.
Suddenly, Emma killed a ladybug, and virtual-novel.net looked at Thomas anxiously.
“Thomas…”
“Yes?”
“I just killed a ladybug. It’s a bad omen. I feel that something is going to happen to you soon. You must be careful.”
Thomas smiled and hugged Emma tightly. “Don’t worry, there’s always a solution for all problems. I’m invincible.”
