MTLNOVEL Chapter 277: Colluding in Disgrace
"Young Master Huang, step closer, be careful as the walls have ears!" Qin Yao whispered quietly.
Huang Zicheng hesitated and glanced at Qin Yao before moving closer to her. Thinking of how Su Ruoxue had severed ties with him for Ye Fan, anger welled up inside him.
Once Huang Zicheng moved closer, Qin Yao spoke softly, "Since Su Ruoxue treats you like this, why not ruin her? Just destroy Su Ruoxue, and with her reputation in shambles, Ye Fan's name will inevitably be dragged through the mud!"
"Destroy Ruo Xue?" Huang Zicheng frowned deeply.
"Yes, destroy Su Ruoxue. She's so cold and heartless to you now, Young Master Huang. What's there to hold onto with such a woman?" Qin Yao said coldly.
"Destroy her, yes, just destroy her!" Under Qin Yao's suggestion, Huang Zicheng's eyes gleamed with a cold light.
If he couldn't have Su Ruoxue, then he would be the one to personally ruin her.
Especially since it was because of Ye Fan, he had become nothing more than a crippled man. Stimulated repeatedly, Huang Zicheng's love gradually turned into hate.
Huang Zicheng said with a face full of resentment, "But with so many people here, how can we destroy Su Ruoxue?"
"Young Master Huang, the more people there are for this plan of mine, the better!"
Seeing Huang Zicheng was interested, Qin Yao smiled mysteriously, "Listen to me, Young Master Huang, do it like this... and then like this..."
"That would be excellent!" Huang Zicheng exclaimed with great joy after listening.
Qin Yao smirked, "If Young Master Huang thinks there's no problem, then I shall target Su Ruoxue!"
"Go ahead! As long as you can help me destroy Su Ruoxue, I'll announce you as my woman afterward!" Huang Zicheng said excitedly.
"It's a deal!"
Hearing this, Qin Yao was thrilled.
The Huang Family had vast wealth and power, and Huang Zicheng was a young dragon among men. If she could become Huang Zicheng's woman, Qin Yao would wake up laughing from her dreams.
The next moment, Qin Yao picked up a glass of red wine and walked towards Su Ruoxue, who was in the crowd.
"Su Ruoxue, you forced my hand, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Looking at Su Ruoxue in the crowd, Huang Zicheng's face darkened almost to the point of dripping with water.
"Senior Ye, could I get your autograph?"
"Senior Ye, how do you achieve such fast hand speed with 'Flight of the Bumblebee'?"
At that moment, many elite individuals approached Ye Fan, their eyes all filled with fervor as they watched him.
"I already said, I know nothing about music; Elder Wei mistook me for someone else!" Ye Fan quickly waved his hands.
Hearing Ye Fan's response, the elites rolled their eyes, not believing a word he said.
"No, that's not right!"
Ye Fan, being surrounded by elites, noticed Qin Yao walking towards Su Ruoxue with ill intent, and immediately raised an eyebrow.
He then shouted, "Oh my! What a beautiful woman!"
"A beautiful woman? Where is she?"
Upon hearing this, the elites looked around frantically, and Ye Fan took the opportunity to slip away from their midst.
Meanwhile, Qin Yao elegantly approached Su Ruoxue with a glass of red wine and complimented, "Must this be Miss Su Ruoxue? Truly as stunning as the rumors suggest!"
"Thank you! May I ask who you are?" Su Ruoxue stared at Qin Yao somewhat surprised.
"Miss Su, my name is Qin Yao from the Qin Family," Qin Yao introduced herself.
"So it's Miss Qin Yao, hello!" Su Ruoxue realized it suddenly.
In her memory, the Central Plains Qin Family was involved in the jewelry business and ranked highly in the industry. The Qin Family had a deep heritage and had essentially stepped into the ranks of the wealthy elite.
Qin Yao smiled, "Miss Su, is this your first time at the Central Plains Summit? I don't think I've seen you at the previous ones!"
"I'm ashamed to say, the Su Family has never been qualified for the summit before. This time, I have to thank Miss Xu Ruoxuan for her kind invitation," Su Ruoxue responded with a smile.
"I see now!" Qin Yao had an epiphany, then raised her wine glass, "Not only are you stunningly beautiful, Miss Su, but also carry an elegance akin to an orchid. I truly admire you. Please honor me with a toast!"
"Ah?" Su Ruoxue was taken aback.
Attending such a high-end business summit for the first time, she didn't even know where to get the red wine.
"Miss!"
Just then, a smartly dressed waiter came over with a glass of red wine.
"Thank you!"
After taking the red wine, Su Ruoxue politely expressed her gratitude.
The next second, Su Ruoxue raised her wine glass and said, "I'm very pleased to meet Miss Qin!"
As she spoke, Su Ruoxue lowered her glass to clink it with Qin Yao's.
"Miss Su is indeed generous!" Qin Yao laughed heartily.
After downing the red wine in her hand, Qin Yao said, "Miss Su, I have other engagements to attend to. Let's chat later when I'm free!"
"Sure!" Su Ruoxue nodded.
Qin Yao smiled slightly and as she walked past Su Ruoxue, she deftly slipped an item into Su Ruoxue's pocket.
Su Ruoxue was completely unaware that Qin Yao would sneak something onto her, and as they brushed past each other, Su Ruoxue didn't notice a thing.
Qin Yao was a great actress; after slipping the item into Su Ruoxue's pocket, she quickly struck up a conversation with someone as if nothing had happened.
"Nicely done!"
In the crowd, Huang Zicheng had been watching Qin Yao closely. Seeing her slip the item into Su Ruoxue's pocket, he started getting excited as if he was on a adrenaline rush.
As Qin Yao chatted, she gave Huang Zicheng an "ok" gesture.
Understanding the signal, Huang Zicheng then dramatically raised his voice in a panic, shouting, "No, this is wrong! Where is my Patek Philippe watch? Where did my Patek Philippe watch go?"
"What? Young Master Huang, you lost your Patek Philippe watch?"
Hearing Huang Zicheng's panicked voice, the bustling venue suddenly fell silent, and countless gazes converged on Huang Zicheng.
"Yes, my Patek Philippe watch is missing. This watch was not easy to acquire abroad. It's the very first watch officially produced by Patek Philippe, and it means a great deal to me!" Huang Zicheng claimed seriously.
"What? The lost watch is the first one ever produced by Patek Philippe?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd erupted into gasps of shock, many showing stunned expressions.
It is well-known that Patek Philippe is a Swiss watch brand, officially named in 1851 by Anthony Patek and Jean Adrien Philippe and boasting nearly two hundred years of history. Patek Philippe is currently recognized as the world's premier luxury watch brand.
Even amongst the world's top 500 companies, Patek Philippe ranks highly.
Each Patek Philippe watch is incredibly valuable, let alone the very first one produced by the company.
Someone exclaimed in surprise, "Three months ago at the largest international auction, the highlight was a Patek Philippe watch. Rumors had it that this Patek Philippe watch was the first one produced by the company and it was eventually bought by a mysterious tycoon for five hundred million. Could that mysterious tycoon be you, Young Master Huang?"
"What? Five hundred million?"
Hearing this price, many were shocked and inhaled sharply.
Despite the many elites present, for them to spend five hundred million on a watch would still be a painful expense.
Your journey continues at empire
"Yes, it was me!" Huang Zicheng promptly admitted.
Under everyone's gaze, Huang Zicheng continued, "Patek Philippe, being the world's number one luxury watch brand, their first-ever watch has a history of over a hundred years. Its collectible value is now beyond measure in terms of money. I love Patek Philippe, which is why I didn't hesitate to bid a huge sum!"
"Just moments ago, I took the watch off and put it in my pocket, only to discover, upon checking, that it was gone!"
Seeing Huang Zicheng's distressed look, many exchanged glances.
"Could someone have stolen it?"
"It must have been stolen. If it were dropped somewhere, with everyone's integrity here, it would surely be returned to its owner."
In front of everyone, Huang Zicheng lamented, "I hope you all can help me find that watch. I, Huang Zicheng, will be most grateful!"
"I know who stole the watch!" Suddenly, Qin Yao spoke up.
Huang Zicheng asked in surprise, "Who? Who is it?"
"It's her, it's her!"
Under the watchful eyes of the many distinguished guests, Qin Yao pointed accusingly at Su Ruoxue.
