C354 Picking up Jade
"Fann, there seems to be someone following us from behind. Half an hour ago, I noticed that this car was right behind us." Zhongli Yun glanced at the rearview mirror and reminded him in a low voice.
Even she had noticed it, how could Sikong Banyu not have noticed it? Sikong Banyu had already noticed it long ago. Today's downtown area was completely blocked, this was a masterpiece of Dragon Guard, and those who can still drive and follow him, are enemies and not friends.
"It's getting more and more interesting. "Haha …" Sikong Banyu revealed a faint smile, it was very strange.
"Rip …" The car turned a corner in front of the Three Flowers Bank and swung into the parking space.
"Get off …" Sikong Banyu said as he turned his head to look at Zhongli Yun, who was extremely worried.
"Fann, are we really going to take out the blood jade? There are clearly people following us. They're up to no good! Do you think we should take advantage of the lack of attention to retrieve the blood jade another day? "
"No need, rest assured! "It's fine, someone will take care of it." Sikong Banyu originally wanted to use the blood jade to lure the snake out of its cave. He was afraid that they wouldn't come and it would be better if they did.
After the two of them got out of the car, they walked towards the Three Flowers Bank.
"Mister and Miss, is there anything I can help you with?" I'm Terry, the lobby manager at the local bank. " A bald white man stepped forward and politely greeted him.
Actually, it was not his place to entertain the customers, but it was very strange today. Normally, when the bank was at this moment, the number of people doing business would be too many to count, so why was there not a single person today? Furthermore, most of the other shops outside were closed, which made him very confused.
He was bored to death, so when he saw the guests that had finally arrived, he naturally wanted to pass the time he had today.
"Hello, we are here to retrieve some items. We had stored some items in your bank previously, but now we want to retrieve them." Zhongli Yun said with a smile.
Terry patted his bald head and said with a smile, "OK, please come with me. I'll personally entertain you guys today. Why do you think that this usually lively downtown area will all be on holiday today? I almost thought I wasn't in China anymore, China doesn't have the habit of going to church. "
Sikong Banyu smiled and said, "Maybe we're all tired today and want to take a day off to experience a rare leisure life?"
Terry shrugged his shoulders: "That's possible. But these people don't seem to be loyal. They should tell us and let us have a day off!" "It seems that this kind of good thing will hardly come to us."
Zhongli Yun said, "Your bank is always raking in money every day. Isn't this the best holiday?"
Terry laughed and joked: "This lady is not only very beautiful but also interesting to talk to. Sir, it is a great blessing for you to meet such a lady!"
Zhongli Yun was very happy when she heard this. She sneaked a glance at Sikong Banyu to see his reaction. However, she couldn't help but be discouraged when she saw Sikong Banyu's expression was calm.
"Mr. Terry, how far is it to the safe?" Sikong Banyu did not want to continue the bullshit with him.
"Ou..." "This teacher looks calm enough, and has always thought that Chinese women are all reserved. Only today did I find out that Chinese men are as reserved as well."
"This is the door of our bank's safe. Usually only the customers who store things inside can open this door according to their facial recognition and fingerprints. Even the staff in our bank can't enter this place."
"It is precisely because of this belief that everything is for the customer's sake that many customers are willing to come here to store their things. Please …"
Zhongli Yun walked up to the screen and began scanning its face. When she was done, she placed her right hand on the screen, following Terry's instructions.
"Scan successful, customer 1620. Welcome to Three Flowers Bank." A stiff mechanical voice came from the side. At the same time, a door slowly opened on the pure steel wall.
"The two of you, please …" Terry put out his hand and smiled, then retreated to the door, not intending to follow.
Zhongli Yun glanced at Sikong Banyu. Seeing him nod, the two of them walked into the storage room. In the storage room, on the walls in all four directions, there were small boxes. Each of them was only ten to twenty centimeters long and no wider than five centimeters.
Zhongli Yun came to the 1620 locker easily and pressed her hand on the door.
"Fingerprint check successful, please insert a key."
Zhongli Yun reached into her purse and took out a key that was in the shape of a small jagged tooth. She inserted it into the keyhole and the door of the storage cabinet popped out.
She reached her hand in and pulled out a box, which she put on the table beside her. After opening the box, she looked at Sikong Banyu, who had already noticed it all, and saw Zhongli Yun took out a necklace. The necklace was a blood-red, irregular piece of jade, not too big, slightly smaller than an egg.
"This is it!" Zhongli Yun took out the blood jade and handed it to Sikong Banyu. This was not the first time she had seen such a thing. Zhongli Yun had never thought that this small blood jade would bring so much trouble.
She looked at Sikong Banyu and felt very complicated. Without this thing, she might not be able to meet Sikong Banyu at all. Whether it was right or wrong, there was always so much that couldn't be explained. Mortals couldn't see through it at all. At least, Zhongli Yun thought she would never be able to understand this strange fate.
