627: Chapter 623: Diamond Necklace 627: Chapter 623: Diamond Necklace “Let’s go, wife!”
Ye Tian said, pulling Yun Xinyan by the hand into the mall.
Although Yun Xinyan was the president of Yun Corporation, she still loved shopping in malls; however, she rarely had the right company to go with.
Colleagues from the company kept their distance from her due to her presidential status, and Yun Xinyan did not have many female friends…
The best company was naturally her husband, Ye Tian!
So, as soon as Yun Xinyan entered the mall, she was visibly thrilled!
When they reached the jewelry section, Yun Xinyan and Ye Tian stopped.
Yun Xinyan had always wanted to buy a necklace for attending important events.
During her trip to South Korea, Yun Xinyan dressed quite simply and wore little jewelry.
After seeing the glamorous Hua Xin’er, Yun Xinyan realized that powerful women could wear jewelry too.
“Welcome!”
Seeing Ye Tian and Yun Xinyan come in, the clerk immediately smiled.
“I’d like a diamond necklace.
Do you have anything suitable for me?” Yun Xinyan asked directly.
The clerk eyed Yun Xinyan from head to toe; she wore a plain black dress that, although label-less, was clearly designer from the craftsmanship; her high heels were from Moro Barani’s spring collection; and the handbag she carried was an older model from Gucci.
What was lacking was that Yun Xinyan wore few accessories—only a bracelet dangling from her hand…
All signs indicated that Yun Xinyan was a powerful woman who did not emphasize dressing up, no wonder she came to the jewelry store.
“Miss, please come this way!”
For a customer like Yun Xinyan, it was important to hold on to her.
The clerk politely led her to the necklace counter.
He laid out various necklaces in front of Yun Xinyan for her to freely choose.
Yun Xinyan also calmed herself down; this was a rare opportunity, and she wanted to choose well.
“Ye Tian, how about this necklace?”
Yun Xinyan held a purple gemstone necklace to her neck and asked Ye Tian for his opinion.
However, Ye Tian shook his head and suggested, “Wife, this necklace is purple, which doesn’t quite match your black dress.
Such a color is hard to match, so let’s choose a white one instead, like a diamond necklace!”
“Mmm!”
Yun Xinyan nodded and continued to choose based on Ye Tian’s advice.
Soon, Yun Xinyan had taken a liking to a diamond necklace…
“Please hand me that necklace…”
Before Yun Xinyan could finish her sentence, a coarse man snatched away the necklace she had her eyes on.
“I’m taking this necklace!”
The man declared boldly, purchasing a clearly feminine necklace without a second thought.
“…”
Yun Xinyan was stunned, unsure of what to say.
Although she was interested, she hadn’t yet tried it on, so it wasn’t absolutely necessary.
“Sir, this lady was looking at the necklace first.
Please let her try it on first.
If it’s not suitable, then we can sell it to you.
How does that sound?”
The clerk said respectfully, sticking to the ‘first come, first serve’ policy since Yun Xinyan had shown interest first.
But the man was extremely arrogant!
“I’ve decided on this necklace!
What I, Sima Hong, have set my eyes on, who can snatch it away?”
The man revealed his identity, causing Ye Tian and Yun Xinyan to exchange glances.
Sima Hong…
This name sounded extraordinarily unfamiliar in Jiang City, and there wasn’t any mention of a prestigious Sima family in Jiang City…
Moreover, this man who called himself Sima Hong did not look wealthy; dressed in coarse clothes, could he really afford this diamond necklace?
In the jewelry store, other customers were also drawn by Sima Hong’s loud speech and were all staring at him.
Usually, those who show off in jewelry stores are rich heirs or officials’ children.
How could this modestly dressed fellow be showing off too?
“Everyone, get out of my way!
I said I want this necklace, and nobody should argue with me!
Do you know who I am?
I am Sima Hong, but…
my identity, I can’t tell you mere mortals!”
Sima Hong stopped himself mid-sentence, flashing a fist, which made the customers instinctively step back.
Although Sima Hong wasn’t dressed impressively, his large build and huge fists weren’t something ordinary people could handle.
“Sir, please don’t do this; this is a jewelry store!”
The clerk was also anxious, hurriedly trying to calm him, but Sima Hong, relentless, swept his hand and sent the clerk flying.
“Crash!”
The clerk’s body slammed straight into a glass counter, shattering the glass!
The fragile body of the clerk couldn’t withstand such impact, and he fainted…
“Ah!”
The other people in the jewelry store screamed.
What was supposed to be a mere show-off scene suddenly turned violent.
The rapid switch in the scene caught everyone by surprise.
“Security!
Security!”
Upon seeing their colleague collapse, another clerk shouted loudly.
Shortly after, security guards from the mall arrived at the jewelry store, each holding a baton.
Seeing Sima Hong harming someone, they all raised their batons and smashed them down towards Sima Hong’s head.
“Hmph!
Overestimating your abilities!”
Sima Hong let out a cold snort and began fighting with the guards.
“Bang!”
Although surrounded by several security guards, Sima Hong merely threw a casual punch, unleashing a burst of wind that pushed back the guards surrounding him.
The guards had not anticipated that the man causing trouble in the jewelry store would be so formidable.
They all exerted their utmost effort against Sima Hong.
But Sima Hong was no easy opponent.
He struck with punches and kicks, every move sharp and clear without any signs of sluggishness.
“Smack!”
A guard was punched in the face and immediately passed out.
“Bang!”
Another guard was kicked in the stomach by Sima Hong and also fell to the ground, unconscious.
The guards attacked Sima Hong, but within merely tens of seconds, they were all knocked down.
“Run quickly!”
The jewelry store had turned completely chaotic, and all the customers had fled.
After knocking down all the guards, Sima Hong looked around.
Seeing no one left to oppose him, he raised the diamond necklace high into the air.
“Now, no one is competing with me for this necklace, right?”
With that, Sima Hong swaggered out of the jewelry store, and no one dared to pursue him.
“He!
He didn’t pay!”
A clerk shouted out; Sima Hong had taken the diamond necklace without paying a single penny.
Plus, with the smashed display cases and the injuries he caused, the jewelry store’s losses were certainly substantial!
“Ye Tian, you…
why didn’t you intervene?”
Yun Xinyan looked reproachfully at Ye Tian.
Although she did not always hope for Ye Tian to fight others, she did not object to acts of righteousness.
Sima Hong had not only stolen her necklace but had also fought in the jewelry store, clearly a sign of a villain.
As her husband, Ye Tian had just watched Sima Hong wreak havoc in the jewelry store, a stark contrast to his usual self.
Seeing Yun Xinyan’s dissatisfaction, Ye Tian smiled and said, “Wife, I wouldn’t let such a person off the hook, but if I started a fight with him, it might never end.”
Yun Xinyan was taken aback and then said, “Are you saying that this guy is very powerful?”
Although Sima Hong had knocked down several guards with one move, his strength was surely limited compared to Ye Tian, right?
“Not very powerful, just a bit tricky!” Ye Tian shook his head, then looked at Yun Xinyan again, “Wife, do you really want that necklace?”
“Not particularly, it’s just that having it taken makes me feel uncomfortable!”
Yun Xinyan earnestly said, it was like business; if there was a project she initially didn’t want to undertake but saw another company seize the opportunity, she would feel compelled to snatch it back even if it meant going all out.
“Mhm!
I understand!
Let’s leave now!”
With these words, Ye Tian hugged Yun Xinyan’s slender waist, and they left the mall together.
In the plaza outside the mall, swarming with people, Yun Xinyan couldn’t see Sima Hong anywhere.
But Ye Tian was different; with his x-ray vision, his eyes bright as torches, he could spot his target amid the sea of people!
“This way!”
Ye Tian pointed in a direction and led Yun Xinyan towards it.
Yun Xinyan couldn’t see Sima Hong, but Ye Tian could see him clearly.
Due to the crowded plaza, Sima Hong wasn’t moving fast, so Ye Tian and Yun Xinyan didn’t need to speed up, just closely follow behind.
After following for a while, the crowd thinned, and Sima Hong in front began to walk faster.
Ye Tian and Yun Xinyan also didn’t slow down, closely following him.
To avoid being spotted by Sima Hong, they maintained a distance of over ten meters from him.
Although Sima Hong was formidable, he was not very meticulous and hadn’t guessed that someone was tailing him.
After a few more steps, Sima Hong suddenly increased his speed.
Although he was still “walking,” his pace was as fast as if he were running!
“So fast!”
Yun Xinyan was astonished, as Sima Hong’s walking speed had surpassed even the world’s top race walkers, truly incredible.
“Wife!
Keep up!”
Ye Tian smiled slightly, then steadied Yun Xinyan and chased after Sima Hong, their speed matching that of Sima Hong who was walking ahead!
