Chapter 117: Danger Arrives

  It's probably due to Huang Lao Bo's exceptional skills that Gu Mei examined the "Rose Queen" from every angle for half a day, but couldn't find any signs of repair. The entire gemstone necklace was flawless and stunningly beautiful.

  Next to the "Rose Queen" is also on display a set of top-notch jadeite jewelry, with extremely vibrant colors, which at first glance appears to be one of the rare old pit glass varieties.

  Jade accessories may not be as eye-catching as the "Rose Queen", but they have a unique quiet beauty that attracts many people's attention.

  "Oh, this jade jewelry is beautiful, look at how green it is!" Gu Mei heard the admiring voice coming from the direction of the jade jewelry display case and couldn't help but follow the sound with her eyes.

  She didn't see that so-called top-notch jade jewelry at a glance, but as soon as she raised her head, her eyes met Du Hao's.

  Du Hao's eyes were pitch black as he stared at Gu Mian, without saying a word.

  Gu Mengxian was startled at first, but soon calmed down. It wasn't strange to see Du Hao in this setting after all, since his new wife Qiao Qingya seemed quite familiar with Tang Ming and had been invited to attend the exhibition, which was a pretty normal thing to do.

  She quickly glanced around and didn't see Qiao Qingya's figure, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although she and Du Hao were no longer in a relationship, seeing Du Hao with Qiao Qingya still made her feel somewhat uncomfortable.

  "Meng Meng, it's really you." Just then, just as Gu Meng was about to lift her foot and leave, Du Hao finally spoke up.

  "Mr. Du, I think I mentioned it before, please don't call me with such familiarity." Gu Mei glanced around and saw that no one was paying attention to her and Du Hao, then lowered her voice and said.

  In this situation, any form of conflict would become a laughing stock for others, and she didn't want to be the subject of gossip.

  Obviously Du Hao thought so too, there were too many people on this side of the jewelry counter, it was simply not a suitable place to talk.

  "Mingming, can you come over and talk to me for a bit?" Du Hao didn't take Gu Ming's previous words to heart, whatever it was called.

  Gu Meng hesitated for a moment before shaking her head: "Mr. Du, I think it's probably unnecessary."

  Du Hao's pupils constricted again. His gaze fell from Gu Mian's diamond-studded ear and neck, all the way down to her feet in a pair of high heels that were at least 10cm high.

  "Who did you come with?" Du Hao asked after a moment of silence.

  "It's none of your business who I came with." Gu Mian didn't like Du Hao's tone, and her own voice became slightly harder.

  "Sorry. I was rude." Du Hao let out a soft sigh, and when he looked up at Gu Mian again, the oppressive feeling from earlier was gone: "Long time no see, how have you been?"

  "Thanks to you, it's going great." Gu Mian's chin slightly lifted and her body straightened up a bit.

  Rather than saying she was chatting casually with Du Hao, it would be better to say that she was a female warrior who was always ready for battle.

  Du Hao naturally knew that Gu Mei was doing well, since he found out about Gu Mei's second uncle. He then had someone investigate Gu Mei's recent situation and learned that Gu Mei's studies and work were going relatively smoothly. In fact, she received more attention from the people around her than when she was with him before.

  Facing such a situation, Du Hao's heart actually had a hint of loss, but after this loss, he appreciated Gu Mian even more.

  He knew that Gu Mian was not the kind of person who couldn't withstand setbacks, and he also knew that Gu Mian had a real talent for appraisal. He remembered how every time he went to buy antiques, he would bring Gu Mian along and often seek his opinion. But now...

  "It's fine as long as you're doing well, I've also heard about your second uncle's situation, at that time I was no longer in the company, so..." Du Hao said halfway. Suddenly he felt that everything had already ended and it didn't make sense to bring it up now, so he changed the subject: "Have you seen the Golden Thread Jade Robe on the other side?"

  "I've seen it." Gu Mei was indeed very interested in that mysterious golden silk jade dress. Suddenly hearing Du Hao ask this, she felt that Du Hao might know something. So she patiently asked: "Why are you asking about this?"

  "This set of golden jade clothes was taken out by Mr. Shi Youcai, who suddenly returned from abroad. Although there were rumors that the golden jade clothes would be exhibited before the exhibition began, no one had any definite news." Du Hao's voice paused, and he gave a sideways glance at Gu Mian.

  Gu Mei was curious about the Jin Lu Yu Yi matter, and although she was somewhat reluctant in her heart, she still followed Du Hao to the side, only she didn't get too close to Du Hao, but instead kept a considerable distance from him.

  Du Hao saw the situation and didn't say much, he just took a deep look at Gu Ming, then continued: "That rich businessman is preparing to develop his business domestically, currently needs support in all aspects. In order to make others believe in his strength, he went to great lengths to exhibit the Golden Thread Jade Robe in this exhibition."

  "How come his partner is your Du Group, and you're still suspecting something?" As soon as Gu Mian heard what Du Hao said, he immediately understood what Du Hao meant.

  The time she spent with Du Hao wasn't fake, and as for how many twists and turns were in Du Hao's heart, she knew relatively clearly.

  This man is no different from before. When encountering things, he always considers the worst direction first and then analyzes them layer by layer.

  Du Hao did not immediately answer Gu Mian's question, but instead asked: "Since you've already seen it, what do you think of this set of golden silk clothes?"

  "Looking at things through a glass cabinet is like looking at flowers in the fog, and scratching an itch while wearing boots. I wouldn't dare to make any rash judgments. If you're still suspicious about something, please go ask someone to appraise it." Just as Gu Mei finished speaking, she saw Qiao Qingya walking over from behind Du Hao's direction: "Alright, I think we've said all there is to say between us. I almost forgot to mention this several times before, but congratulations on your upcoming wedding."

  After finishing speaking, Gu Mei didn't wait for Qiao Qingya to enter and turned around to leave.

  Du Hao was just about to chase after her when Qiao Qingya appeared by his side.

  "Husband, didn't you want to ask Zheng Bo something? He's here today too, I'll take you over." Qiao Qingya stretched out her hand and gently yet firmly grasped Du Hao's arm.

  "Good." Du Hao looked at his elegant and poised wife, nodded slightly, and temporarily suppressed the impulse in his heart.

  "Let's hurry up then, we can't keep Zheng Bo waiting." Qiao Qingya smiled slightly at Du Hao and naturally leaned her body towards him.

  Du Hao looked at Qiao Qingya, who had a somewhat delicate and bird-like appearance, and suddenly thought of Gu Can, who hadn't been very friendly to him just now. He also thought of Gu Can's outfit, which was absolutely not cheap, and felt inexplicably annoyed in his heart.

  Qiao Qingya didn't know what Du Hao was thinking, she just happened to glance in the direction where Gu Mian had left when urging Du Hao to hurry up and meet someone.

  After leaving Du Hao, Gu Mei returned to the display cabinet of Jinlun Yuyi, slightly dazed.

  "What's wrong?" Qin Sheng returned to the venue and began searching for Gu Mian's figure, soon finding her by Jin Lvyu Yi.

  "You're back." Gu Mian returned to his senses and let out a long sigh, saying: "I was just feeling sentimental. The owner of this jade garment must have been a powerful noble who could control the winds and rains. Unfortunately, after he died many years ago, even the golden threads on his jade garment were stripped off by someone, and it's now being exhibited. I imagine his remains are in a pitiful state."

  "This is also an unavoidable thing." Qin Sheng slightly tilted his head, as if he had discovered something, and his body involuntarily leaned forward.

  "Sir, you can't get too close." The security guard beside him noticed Qin Sheng's movement and reminded him.

  Qin Sheng didn't respond to the security guard's words and instead leaned forward even more.

  Gu Mei also looked at Qin Sheng in surprise, wondering what he was going to do.

  "Shh!" Qin Sheng stretched out a finger and placed it vertically on his lips, then bent down to take a look.

  "Sir, you can't..." The security guard, seeing that Qin Sheng was ignoring his warning, became somewhat annoyed and reached out to block Qin Sheng.

  Just as his hand was about to touch Qin Sheng, Qin Sheng suddenly stood up straight and pulled Gu Mei's arm, taking several steps back.

  "What's wrong?" Gu Mei's reaction was slow, and her ankle almost got twisted.

  "Something's off here." Qin Sheng leaned in close to Gu Mian's ear and said in a low voice.

  The other person's hot breath blew onto Gu Mian's ear, causing her to subconsciously shrink back: "What's wrong?"

  "There seems to be something hidden under the showcase, be careful." Qin Sheng said quickly.

  Gu Xiang's mind flashed with a sudden inspiration, and she thought of only two words - Bomb!

  "Is it...?" Before Gu Miao's explosive two words could come out, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted.

  "There's a bomb! There's a bomb under the showcase!"

  A stone causes a thousand ripples, and this sound of unknown origin suddenly caused the entire exhibition hall to fall silent for a moment, followed by the guests' cries of surprise. The crowd that had been surrounding the showcase immediately distanced themselves from it and began rushing towards the exit.

  At this time, those who were previously dignified and courteous immediately abandoned their reserve and etiquette, with only one thought in mind: to run, to quickly escape from this place with a bomb.

  However, there were still some people who did not make such a panicked move. Many of them were the owners of today's exhibits. They not only didn't run away but instead rushed towards their belongings with great effort, shouting non-stop that they wanted to protect their things.

  Soon, many people dressed as bodyguards emerged from the venue and quickly rushed to each showcase, regardless of those screaming people who wanted to escape, preparing to take out the exhibits in the showcases.

  The bodyguards' actions were also greatly hindered in this chaos.
