Translator: VinceStar Editor: PrisMiko
“Yeah, what happened? Is there a problem?” Yang Ming asked.
“There is a problem. Of course, there is a problem! Big problem!” Zhang Bing said unbelievably, “Yang Ming, you didn’t trick me, did you? Are you fooling me with counterfeit goods? How could this be Shu Ya’s possession? It is obviously yours!”
“What do you mean by it’s mine?” Yang Ming found it baffling. What’s Zhang Bing saying? “I bought it with my money. Of course, it’s mine!”
” Damn , I’m not talking about this. You look at it yourself. There are marks left by you!” Zhang Bing raised the ring in his hand and said to Yang Ming.
“What mark?” Yang Ming took the ring and looked at it curiously. However, he found nothing unusual.
“You have to look at it facing the light. You should keep this angle of the ring and keep the light on this plane. Then, look at it from this side!” Zhang Bing explained.
” Oh ?” Yang Ming picked up the ring and looked at it according to Zhang Bing’s directions. Certainly, there were several shallow carved markings on the ring!
Yang Ming was abruptly shocked deep down in his heart because he had seen the shape of the mark! Yang Ming’s eyes widened and his whole face showed an incredible look!
He was so familiar with the things carved on it because this was exactly what he, himself, carved!
Yang Ming found it unbelievable, but the facts were in front of him! This ring was 100% the one that he gave to Su Ya that year!
The reason was that the mark carved on this was nothing else but the “Ming” word in his name! Yang Ming could still clearly remember that after buying this ring, he used the carving knife provided at the stall on the roadside to engrave his name on it!
What the hell is going on? It seems that this was not a coincidence! There aren’t so many coincidences in the world. Yang Ming thought it was an identical ring, but now it seemed that this was the same rose ring!
As for why Yang Ming didn’t realize it before, the reason was simple! Yang Ming didn’t carefully examine this ring! The engraving marks on the ring weren’t apparent. After the ring owner regularly rubbed it, the surface of the ring had worn out and the writing became shallow. If one didn’t look carefully, one would almost never see it.
Zhang Bing was a fan of Shu Ya. Naturally, he was more interested in her item, so he discovered this unobtrusive aspect.
“What’s wrong with you? Did you became speechless after I revealed your bluff?” Zhang Bing looked at Yang Ming’s stunned expression as he asked curiously.
“Nothing…” Yang Ming shook his head with a bitter smile. The doubts in his heart had become incomprehensible. It was impossible to describe it in words! Yup, things are just too weird!
Shu Ya, why was this person’s name similar to Su Ya? How did this ring appear in her hand? All of it was a mystery!
Of course, unless Shu Ya was Su Ya! But this possibility was almost non-existent! After all, Shu Ya and Su Ya were two different people. Although they were both beautiful and pretty, they were two different persons!
There were no similar features in their appearances! Although there was a saying called the “Eighteen Changes Through Womanhood” [1], Yang Ming didn’t think that one person would change without leaving a trace of their original look!
That was absolutely impossible! Even if most of the photos on the internet were portraits of Shu Ya, there were still some photos taken by reporters. Yang Ming didn’t find a trace of Su Ya from her face!
Therefore, Yang Ming was confused. Yang Ming even regretted that he didn’t take a look at this ring seriously himself. If this abnormality was discovered at the time, Yang Ming would find ways to contact Shu Ya through the auctioneer at the auction house. Yang Ming would ask her for confirmations on certain matters!
Even if this Shu Ya isn’t Su Ya, she must have some connection with Su Ya! But now, I have already returned home. If I want to contact Shu Ya again, it would be very difficult.
Yang Ming sighed slightly. It seemed that certain matters were destiny, which couldn’t be forced. I was only one step away from getting news of Su Ya! However, due to my carelessness, I had lost it!
“Bro, did you buy a counterfeit?” Zhang Bing saw Yang Ming’s frustrated look and he couldn’t help but comfort him “Well, then you just spent money to buy a lesson! I think Shu Ya wouldn’t sell her ring anyway! She treasured her ring so much! She will never show this ring to others, let alone sell it!”
“What did you say? Did you said that she treasured this ring?” Yang Ming asked with his eyes blinking clearly.
“What? Haven’t I told you once before? Then again, for this kind of matter, Shu Ya fans already knew. It wasn’t a secret!” Zhang Bing said, “So, the ring you bought must be fake!”
Yang Ming shook his head subconsciously. It doesn’t seem right! I must have missed some important details. This ring is definitely genuine, but who is this Shu Ya?
Yang Ming had previously suspected that Shu Ya was Su Ya, but from a scientific point of view, this assumption wasn’t true!
Yang Ming was a bit confused. I really don’t understand the connection between them.
“Bro, why are you shaking your head?” Zhang Bing looked at Yang Ming with a sympathetic look. “Okay, okay. You bought the genuine item. Bro, please say something!”
“What is there to say? What can I do if it’s a counterfeit? I’m thinking about other things!” Yang Ming woke up from his thoughts and said quickly.
“That’s right. I think that Bro can’t be sad because of this!” Zhang Bing smiled and said, “Yes, so what if it’s genuine or counterfeit? Even if it’s genuine, since Shu Ya had already sold it, it proved that this ring wasn’t important to her anymore!”
Oh ya ! Yang Ming suddenly seemed to figure it out! That’s right. It didn’t matter if this person was Su Ya or Shu Ya! If this person was really Su Ya, and if she sold the ring, it proved that she had completely forgotten about that past!
If this person was Shu Ya, then this ring must be given to her by Su Ya. If Su Ya can give her the things I gave her, it also showed that I wasn’t important to her anymore!
So, in any case, that past event had become the past! Since Su Ya didn’t care, why should I still be so persistent? What was the use of thinking of that?
When love had become a thing of the past, tokens of love would become worthless too. If this was the case, then Su Ya’s ring was sold at a good price! One hundred thousand dollars!
“Oh, you are right.” Yang Ming smiled bitterly and said, “Let’s not talk about that. How is it? Have you thought of a good idea to start a business?”
” Ergh … I was just studying this ring… How about I think about it tonight? I will discuss with you tomorrow.” Zhang Bing smiled.
” Damn , you really have some spare time!” Yang Ming looked at Zhang Bing with a contemptuous look and took the ring back to his room.
Yang Ming was a man who cherished relationships… No matter how Su Ya was, Yang Ming still missed the feeling of being with Su Ya. This ring was the evidence of the two people’s ambiguous first love in the past. Yang Ming still valued it deeply.
Yang Ming put the ring in the box carefully and then locked it in a drawer. Yang Ming decided to make it a memory of his and keep it permanently.
Afterward, Yang Ming regained himself from his thoughts. He opened his notebook as he continued learning the information that Fang Tian had left for him. At this time, his cell phone rang.
Yang Ming glanced at the caller’s notification. It was Hou Zhenhan.
Yang Ming first went over and locked the door. Then, he picked up the phone and came to the window. He then lowered his voice and picked up the call, “Hey, Big Hou, what’s the matter?”
Yang Ming didn’t want Zhang Bing to know that he was associated with the underworld. After all, Yang Ming was still an upbeat person in front of Zhang Bing. Yang Ming felt that it would be enough for him to carry out these matters in the dark side. If he told Zhang Bing, he would bring Zhang Bing a lot of trouble.
“Brother Yang, I have finished negotiating with Bao Sanli.” Hou Zhenhan said skillfully.
“What were the conditions? What happened?” asked Yang Ming.
“Things are like this…” Hou Zhenhan began to explain it in detail.
It turned out that this time around, Bao Sanli was defeated by the people of Yu Xiangde and the Four Snakes Gang. He couldn’t last long! If it continued, it would be just a matter of time before the people on Bao Sanli’s side were annihilated!
Therefore, Bao Sanli couldn’t sit still. He proactively approached Hou Zhenhan and asked for help. Also, he promised the conditions for a fifty-fifty split after the event. Since Hou Zhenhan had been instructed by Yang Ming, he refused the conditions from Bao Sanli directly!
