The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 469

More than half an hour later, a police car arrived with its siren turned on, causing residents in the neighborhood to wonder what had happened. Five people soon got out of the car. Tony Lee happened to be the leader of the team. “Hello, Mr. Rockefeller. I’m in charge of this case of yours,” Tony said. Alex Rockefeller was shocked. “I can’t believe you had to be involved, Mr. Lee. Sorry for the trouble.” Tony nodded. “Don’t worry about it. We’ll do our best.” Tony led his subordinates into the villa, where everyone was taken aback by the damage’s extent. It wasn’t because they had never seen anything like this. In reality, whenever people from the underworld were involved, there were often situations like these. However, the ones who destroyed this villa were Madame Claire Assex’s in-laws. This was overboard. How much did they hate each other? Soon, photos were taken, and inspections were made. “Mr. Rockefeller, did you really lose a jadeite worth 100 million dollars?” Tony asked. When Madame Claire and Lady Beatrice Assex heard the question, they both looked at Alex with peculiar expressions on their faces. “Of course. It might even be worth more than 100 million,” Alex insisted with certainty. A female member of the team, more attentive to the details, looked around at the thrashed villa and broken household items. A frown formed across her face. “Mr. Rockefeller, am I right? You shouldn’t lie. Are you sure you own a piece of jadeite worth 100 million dollars? If what you say is false, you could be charged for blackmail.” Lady Dorothy Assex suddenly became nervous. She wanted to say something but stopped short. When the female team member saw this, she felt even more confident that Alex was lying. She immediately snorted coldly. “Mr. Rockefeller, you should think this through carefully. If you dare to make false accusations of others, I’ll…” Smack! Before she could finish, Tony slapped her. “Are you sick?! Do you realize what you’re saying? The victim just told you that something of his got stolen. Your job is to investigate the case. What are you doing right now? Are you threatening the victim? What’s your identity? Is this incident related to you? Are you in cahoots with the other side of the Assex family?” The female team member was baffled after being hit. “Sir, I didn’t. I just thought… They don’t seem too wealthy, and this house is run-down and barely standing. The items in this household don’t seem very upper-class either. How did jadeite worth 100 million dollars appear out of nowhere? Is there proof? We shouldn’t become hired guns! If it’s true that they owned it, they’ll have to show us the receipt!” Alex glanced at her. “Think you’re very smart? Couldn’t I have inherited it from my ancestors? Cant it be worth more than 100 million dollars just because it’s inherited? Is it now worthless just because my ancestors didn’t leave a receipt behind?” Tony pushed his female subordinate away. “Get out!” he shouted angrily. The female subordinate gritted her teeth. “Sir, I did nothing wrong. How could you kick me out? I’m only asking questions,” she said. “Fine, I’ll tell you. I acquired that jadeite a few days ago from stone gambling. That’s why I don’t have a receipt. Many people saw what happened at the antique market. If you don’t believe me, you can ask around,” Alex said. Lady Beatrice’s eyes opened wide. “Are you… Are you actually the Stone Gambling Prince?” She had seen a live video of the Stone Gambling Prince in action, and secretly, she was very envious of him. Alex frowned while he looked at her, but he didn’t say anything. Meanwhile, Madame Claire started thinking hard. That was the day she felt inspired by Stone Gambling Prince for unveiling priceless jadeite, and she went gambling. In the end, she ended up losing 500,000 dollars, and her creditors showed up at the house… Madame Claire remembered this as if it only happened yesterday. She immediately jumped up and grabbed Alex. “Are you really Stone Gambling Prince? Are you a stone gambling expert? Why didn’t you tell me earlier.? Didn’t you unveil three pieces of high-quality jadeite? Where did they go?” Madame Claire asked. “Eh..?” “Wasn’t it stolen? Well, that’s not important. The important thing is to recover the jadeite.” Tony too, was shocked by what Stone Gambling Prince did the other day. This was since his wife happened to be there when it happened, and when she came back, she even described the incident in detail. “It turns out that Mr. Rockefeller was the expert who unveiled the high-quality jadeites at that time. Alright, I understand. We’ll head over to the Assex family’s place right away. We must arrest those criminals before they sell the stolen goods.” Soon, they all rushed over to the Assex family’s place. Alex was driving Lady Dorothy’s BMW, and the three women in the family all sat in it.
