Chapter 158: Original Buyer

“Sir, you sure have high standards, these are already some of our best stock.” Only then did the old man raise his head to scrutinize Quan Yu.

“How much is this?” Mo Li suddenly picked up a ring and asked in a soft voice.

Quan Yu glanced at the ring, the diamond was so small and the ring was old-fashioned. It would look better on trophy wives than a young girl. However, he didn’t say anything because he trusted in Mo Li.

“Lady, for you, I am willing to part with it for 300,000 RMB.” The old man chuckled. But to his surprise, Mo Li frowned. “Never mind. The longer I look at these jewels, the more pedestrian I find them to be.”

Seeing the old man’s anxious expression, something dawned on Quan Yu. He lifted his sleeve which had the cuff link to pluck the ring away from Mo Li. “Hmm, this diamond is also too small for you. Is there other stock?”

When Quan Yu raised his hand, the old man’s eyes finally landed on that canary diamond cuff link. The old man suddenly became alert. He remembered clearly it was not Quan Yu who came to purchase this particular cuff link from him. After all, there were not that many people who could afford this cuff link.

The old man remembered the original buyer also because they had a little chat after the transaction was done. The buyer said he wanted to custom make a pair of cuff links because he would attend many events. He wore suits of the same style so he wanted something to make him stand out. That was why he frequented the old man’s shop to custom make the canary diamond cuff links. That particular transaction was also the biggest one old man had made that year.

So… how did the original buyer’s cuff link now appear in the possession of this man?

“You two aren’t here to make a purchase, are you?” The old man sat back down on his seat. Many things had happened around Pearl River recently. Even though Quan Yu’s people had done their best to seal up the news, as a member of the black market, it was the old man’s job to keep himself updated on these things. When the old man saw the canary diamond cuff link on Quan Yu’s sleeve, he had already guessed the purpose of their arrival.

“We are indeed here to make a purchase, a purchase of information. Who bought this cuff link from you?”

“I’m sorry but that is client confidentiality.” That was what he said but Quan Yu understood how things worked here. Everything could go for a price.

Mo Li shrugged. Pearl River might be big but there were only so many people who could afford these cuff links. After eliminating the people from the Xiao Family, Mo Family and Quan Family, there wasn’t that many people left.

Quan Yu didn’t waste time. “There are 3 million US dollars in this card. That should be enough to buy several pairs of this cuff links.”

The old man nodded casually. He had already gotten the things he wanted. “Here is the list of the customers who have ordered custom-made jewelry from us. It includes their pictures and contact information.”

The old man was quite an organized shopkeeper. The list was very detailed.

To Mo Li and Quan Yu’s surprise, they couldn’t recognize the buyer.

“Who is this?” Quan Yu frowned. He was expecting someone familiar but this was a completely fresh face. Plus based on his way of dressing, the original buyer didn’t look like someone who could afford a pair of canary diamond cuff links.

“Are you sure this is the buyer?” Mo Li couldn’t help but ask. Different from Quan Yu, Mo Li felt the man look quite familiar but she couldn’t place it.

The old man nodded.

Quan Yu sent the list to Ah Si. When Quan Yu saw the report Ah Si returned, he was shocked.
