Chapter 497 Reasoning Notes 10: Mermaid Tears (39)
"Is what this text message said true?" Zhuo Feng took out his mobile phone and showed it to Bai Chun.

Seeing the content of the text message, Bai Chun was also taken aback.Who is texting?This question first popped into his mind.The other party, what's the plan?

Before he could figure out the situation, Zhuo Feng continued to press him.

"Bai Chun, is the Mermaid's Tears really in your hands?"

Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Bai Chun could only nod his head.

"This is really great!" Zhuo Feng suddenly became excited after receiving an affirmative answer. "Take it out quickly and show me."

His request made Bai Chun a little embarrassed.Everyone knows the origin of this mermaid tear, how could Bai Chun casually show it to outsiders.But since the other party is his future father-in-law, Bai Chun wanted to give him some face, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and take Mermaid Tears out of the safe.

As soon as he saw the mermaid's tears, Zhuo Feng's eyes glowed.He held this gorgeous and extraordinary sapphire necklace in his hand, his eyes widened.The sapphire shone with astonishing light, and it caught his eyeballs tightly.It looked like the shining North Star on the other side of the dark night sky.Zhuo Feng, who has been in the upper class for many years, has naturally seen many precious gemstones and jewelry, but there has never been one that can shock him for a long time like this Mermaid Tears Necklace.

The Mermaid's Tears is not only attractive because of its value, its magnificence, but also its mysterious legend.

After all, the sapphire necklace worth [-] million US dollars is by no means comparable to ordinary necklaces.

"Only such a precious necklace is worthy of my daughter." Zhuo Feng was very satisfied with this necklace.As long as the daughter wears it at the engagement ceremony, the Zhuo family will earn enough face.

"Uncle Zhuo, I'm sorry, this can't be done."

Unexpectedly, Bai Chun rejected his request.

"What?" Zhuo Feng was very dissatisfied.He was somewhat displeased to be rejected by a junior. "Don't you think Enqi is not worthy of this necklace?"

"No, no, no. You misunderstood me." Bai Chun sincerely explained to him.

"Then what do you mean? Enqi's diamond necklace was lost, isn't it just right to use it as a substitute now?" Zhuo Feng grasped the Mermaid's Tears tightly in his hand, for fear that it would be snatched away, although the necklace Not his items.

Bai Chun felt very distressed, so he had to tell Zhuo Feng the story behind Mermaid Tears.The point is, about the curse of Mermaid Tears.Anyone who possesses Mermaid Tears will suffer bad luck.

"No way?" As soon as Zhuo Feng heard about the curse, he hurriedly put down Mermaid Tears. "Curse, does it really exist?" He looked at Bai Chun suspiciously and asked.

"No. The curse is just a superstitious statement. I personally believe that this is a murderous intent caused by people's greed for mermaid tears."

"In other words, this is all man-made, right? It can be stopped, right." Zhuo Feng's inner vigilance seemed to relax a little.

"In theory, that's right."

"Then I'm relieved." Zhuo Feng breathed a sigh of relief, and the tight fat on his face also relaxed.

It would be scary if it was a curse caused by a mysterious force.But if it was just people killing each other for the Mermaid's Tears, then things would be much simpler.At this time, Zhuo Feng had the same naive idea as Cai Dong: he believed that as long as there were enough people to protect him, the villains who tried to snatch the necklace would be able to retreat.

Could it be that someone can steal this necklace among thousands of troops, Zhuo Feng just doesn't believe in this evil.

"That's the decision." He picked up the Mermaid's Tears again.He couldn't put it down this gorgeous necklace. "This necklace is for my daughter as your engagement gift."

"Uncle Zhuo..." Bai Chun still wanted to fight, but the other party's tone was clear and beyond doubt.He had to reluctantly agree.

However, "You have to agree to one condition." Bai Chun made a request.

"What? You say."

"Before the engagement ceremony begins, the existence of Mermaid Tears must not be publicized. In addition, I will send my assistants to protect it. I hope you can cooperate well with them."

"This is unnecessary. I can ask a security company to take care of it." Zhuo Feng said.

"No, Uncle Zhuo, you can't underestimate your opponent this time." Bai Chun said, "That's a strange thief."

"Phantom Thief? What's your name?"

"Shadow Stranger."

The name sounds weird.It was immediately imprinted in Zhuo Feng's mind.But he didn't take it seriously, no matter how loud his name was, he was at best a thief.

How big a storm can a thief stir up?

In this way, before Bai Chun could come up with a plan to deal with the shadow monsters, Mermaid Tears had already passed to the next owner.

"Cousin, is it okay to do this?"

Regarding this decision, Lin Shan always felt that it was not appropriate.Bai Chun also gave a wry smile, this was not his original intention, but Zhuo Feng's domineering request.If he doesn't hand over Mermaid Tears to Zhuo Feng, the other party will make the same request to Bai's parents.The so-called, parents' orders, had to be obeyed.Therefore, Bai Chun gave in.

After all, there is no way to justify having a necklace that attracts the attention of the whole city but not using it as an engagement gift.

"However, cousin, don't worry. I have sent Fan Kun and the three of them to protect the Zhuo family. I believe that before the shadow monster gets the news, it will not be harmful to the Zhuo family."

"I hope so." Lin Shan whispered, with an ominous feeling lingering in his heart.

On the other hand, Zhuo Feng, who got the tears of the mermaid, couldn't wait to send the necklace to his daughter.

"Dad, this necklace..."

Zhuo Enqi was surprised when she got such a dazzling necklace.After her father told her the origin of the mermaid tears, her expression changed from shock to surprise.She didn't care about curses or anything like that, but she knew in her heart that this necklace must be very meaningful to Bai Chun.Since he is willing to give this necklace to her, doesn't it mean that he loves her?
Having said that, this necklace is really beautiful.

Sitting in front of the dressing table, Zhuo Enqi gently put the Mermaid's Tears on herself. The sapphire inlaid in the necklace emitted a slight blue light, showing a hazy beauty.Oh, that's like the tears of the ocean.When she put on this necklace, it was as if a mermaid's sad singing could be heard in her ears.

Suddenly, there was a "whoosh", and there was a slight sound.She turned her head and looked out the window, only to see a corner of a black shadow flashing outside the window, it looked like a bat had just flown by.

She doesn't care.Nor would she think of anything bad.She stood up and walked unsuspectingly towards the window.

At this time, the window was open, and it was pitch black outside the window, only street lamps were illuminating the direction of the road, but there was not even a single star in the night sky, except for the moon hanging high, there was nothing else.

A gust of wind blew past, making Zhuo Enqi tremble.She closed the window, but didn't notice that a figure was lying on the outer wall above the window. It was like a bat, clinging to the wall and not falling down. If others saw this scene, they would be shocked by it. I was stunned by my ability.

It is exactly the Phantom Thief and Shadow Stranger that people are talking about!
Oh, what a pity, it has already set its sights on Zhuo Enqi.

Tonight would have been a good chance to do something, but for some reason, it didn't.Perhaps, for the famous Phantom Thief, it is not his style to succeed so easily.At the very least, it is the style of shadow monsters to issue a notice first, and then use their superb skills to steal the Mermaid Tears in front of the public.

It's the first time I've seen such a high-profile thief!
Moving like a gecko on the outer wall, the shadow monster slowly climbed up to the roof.Even though there were groups of security guards walking around under the house, none of them noticed it, and it didn't take these people seriously at all.Although Zhuo Feng has hired a large number of security guards to protect this place, it is still like no one's land for it, and it can come and go freely.

The real good show is yet to come.It sneered, and finally disappeared under the dark night.

In a newspaper in Shanghai the next day, a full-page front-page advertisement suddenly appeared.

The headline was so eye-catching that it couldn't be ignored—"Two wealthy families in Shanghai are married, and the bride will wear the world's most precious mermaid tears." '

This news immediately caused an explosive sensation in the society.You know, Mermaid's Tears caught everyone's attention just a few days ago because of Cai Dong's murder case!
Only then did people exclaim: So, the cursed mermaid tear is already in the hands of the Zhuo family.

And the police naturally dare not neglect.Since the case of Cai Dong's murder has never progressed, and the tears of the mermaid are the most critical evidence, the Shanghai Public Security Bureau immediately sent someone to Zhuo's house to inquire about the origin of the necklace.Regarding this point, Zhuo Feng honestly confessed that it was a gift from his future in-laws.So the police went to Bai's house to inquire again.

Because Bai Chun himself had a close relationship with the police, he didn't want Ji Hongwei to get into unnecessary trouble, so he made up a lie, claiming that he was missing the shadow monster when he was tracking him down.The police have always received a lot of care from Bai Chun, so they didn't become suspicious, so they believed his words.

This matter has been muddled like this.

But the real crisis, like a storm, is about to overwhelm the situation with dark clouds.
