Chapter 318: Can this necklace locate?
After the barbecue, Li Mubai started to get busy again.
Although he was resting at home today, he was not idle. In two hours, he held three or four meetings and made two international calls.
Jiang Li could barely understand some of the English chatter, but she couldn't understand French. She felt that her tongue would be tied if she tried to speak.
When Li Mubai was working, Jiang Li never dared to disturb him, just like when she was concentrating on her work, she didn't like anyone to disturb her.
So she just looked outside the study for a short while and then disappeared. When Mrs. Sun finished stewing the lean meat soup, she just gently opened the door of the study, put down the lean meat soup, and left quietly.
Just after I went downstairs and drank my bowl of lean meat soup, I heard the sound of the door opening. After a while, Zhou Qian came in with a smile on his face, holding two boxes in his hands, one big and one small.
"Sister Li? Where's Brother Bai?"
"He's upstairs, working."
"Oh, then I'll go find him."
When Mrs. Sun heard Zhou Qian's voice, she quickly poked her head out of the kitchen and said with a gentle smile, "Are you back? There's still lean meat soup in the pot. Ask Chen Luo to come and drink it later."
"Wow! There's soup today! I'll have two bowls! I'll come down to drink it later. I'll go upstairs to find Brother Bai first!"
"Three bowls is fine. I cooked a lot."
"Okay!"
Zhou Qian responded with a silly laugh, then walked upstairs impatiently.
Zhou Qian was looking for Li Mubai, probably for something important, so Jiang Li simply reminded him that he might be on the phone and let Zhou Qian go up.
Not long after, Jiang Li heard a burst of hurried footsteps coming down the stairs. Zhou Qian ran down the stairs as fast as an agile cheetah. His steps were vigorous and powerful, and each step took three or four steps, jumping and skipping. In a blink of an eye, he had already run to the yard, and kept shouting, "Chen Luo, come and drink soup!"
Looking at his excited expression, it seems that what he is going to drink is not lean meat soup, but elixir of life.
Zhou Qian had already run to the yard when Li Mubai appeared at the stairs. He walked down slowly, holding the big box that Zhou Qian had just brought over.
The box was flat and looked like a jewelry box.
"Lili, let me show you something."
"Um, what?"
Li Mubai walked to the dining table and sat down, then slowly opened the blue velvet box.
The box was opened, Jiang Li leaned over to take a look, and found a crystal necklace inside.
The necklace was made of white crystal beads, each of which was crystal clear, warm and smooth, and emitted a faint glow under the light. The most eye-catching thing was the purple crystal gem in the middle. The gem was not big, about the size of a thumbnail, but pure and transparent, as dazzling as a star. It was obvious at a glance that it was of high quality and worth a lot of money.
Li Mubai picked up the necklace and helped Jiang Li put it on gently and attentively.
Jiang Li's skin is as fair and delicate as white jade, and with this necklace, it complements the other even more, making her look like a blooming peach blossom, delicate and charming.
However, although it looks good, it just looks a bit weird.
"I usually wear casual clothes, and it would be too awkward to wear such a big gem around my neck."
Li Mubai heard her question, but he did not stop his movements, and still carefully fastened the necklace for her. At the same time, he patiently explained: "The gem is hollow, and there is a positioning chip embedded inside."
"Chip...chip!"
Jiang Li was shocked. A positioning chip! A positioning chip embedded in jewelry? Was there such high technology at this time?
After finally tying the necklace, Li Mubai helped her adjust the position and said with a smile, "I know you don't like being a burden, but things have been a bit turbulent lately. Since the dispute over that piece of land, we have declared a direct war with Yan Cheng. Although he has been a little busy lately, he is crazy about what he does, and it's hard to say when... So, I feel more at ease with a positioning chip on you."
Although they have recently exposed a lot of negative news about Yan Cheng and cut off some of his connections and financial resources, Yan Cheng has been deeply rooted in Hong Kong for many years and still has some influence.
Moreover, he had many lackeys under his command, and they were said to be able to use their talents for a thousand days and deploy them only for a day. When something happened, these lackeys were put to good use.
Finding someone to take the blame is very common in the underworld. If a case occurs that even the police cannot turn a blind eye to, they can only find someone to pay the bill. The big boss will definitely not go, so usually at such times, they will ask their men to take the blame.
The henchmen turned themselves in, and Yan Cheng helped them to reduce their sentences to the minimum. For those small thugs, taking the blame and going to jail for two or three years not only gave them a resettlement allowance, but they would also become the boss's confidants after they came out of jail. This was not a losing business for them. They were already living on the edge of a knife anyway, and they might lose their hands or feet one day. Going to jail for a few years was a safe and profitable way to get by.
Li Mubai and Fu Jingchi both knew that Yan Cheng had a solid foundation in Hong Kong, and it would not be easy to touch him. This time it was also a warning to let him know that the Li family and the Fu family were not pushovers.
Now that the war has begun, we have to consider everything carefully.
In fact, Li Mubai had already started preparing this positioning necklace when Yan Cheng started to make small moves, but customization does take time, so he only got it now.
Li Mubai helped Jiang Li straighten her necklace, paused, and said solemnly: "Yan Cheng is a lunatic. If you get lost one day, I can at least find where you are."
Jiang Li looked at him and didn't say anything for a long time. She knew what he meant.
A person of this age would not get lost for no reason. If he were to get lost one day, the only possibility is that he was kidnapped.
Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.
Jiang Li touched the gem on her neck and asked in a low voice: "What about you? If you get lost, how can I find you?"
Li Mubai smiled and shook his wrist: "Look at my hand."
Jiang Li looked down and found that the watch Li Mubai usually wore was gone, replaced by a new electronic watch.
Jiang Li's eyes lit up and she asked in surprise: "Your chip is inside the watch?!"
Li Mubai nodded: "Yes, our location information will be uploaded 24 hours a day. If we go missing, the security team knows what to do."
Jiang Li reached out and held him: "Mu Bai, you..."
Li Mubai reached out his hand and shook her back: "Don't worry, I'll be fine, and you'll be fine too."
No matter what, he would risk his life rather than let Jiang Li get hurt.
