Chapter 130: Stolen diamonds.
In the dressing area of the phoenix celebrities, Chi Lian was working hard with Qi Qing whose designs had been incorporated into the celebrity clothing line. The designs had been given to T4 who modified them a bit and then produced them with the equipment in the farm.
Qi Qing had signed a contract with Chi Lian to earn two percent of whatever amount of money each piece of clothing was to be sold for. Since the clothes were to be high end and limited, she would be earning quite handsomely.
A few models and celebrities were going to model the clothes later on in the day.
Du Moxi was also supposed to perform her song hello tonight on a snowing stage and her outfit was a bit complicated. The gown was supposed to be off the shoulder, white as snow and her hair long, flowing and snow white.
This performance was so worrisome because they were afraid Moxi would catch a cold or break down half way through her performance because of the cold.
"Is Moxi’s dress finished?" she asked Qi Qing.
"My lady, the small diamonds which are supposed to be glued onto the dress are missing." Qi Qing told her nervously.
"What, whose fault is this?" Chi Lian asked angrily. She had emphasized carefulness and safety. Somebody’s head was going to roll for this.
Qi Qing quickly fell to her knees and cried, "It’s my fault, I am so sorry, I left the diamonds here for a minute and when I turned around they were gone."
Chi Lian was angry, the diamonds cost her two million, but looking at the woman crying and begging on her knees she reined her anger in. Instead of shouting at Qi Qing, she needed to find the diamonds or find a way to recoup her loss. ’I can’t believe there is a thief in this crowd." She thought. Everyone at the event paid a lot of money to be here, how can there be a thief among them.
"Host, some of the people that came are not wealthy, they accompanied VVIP’s. Do you want my help tracking down the missing diamonds?"
"Obviously I do, show me the footage from that time frame."
"Qi Qing, go and tell my brothers what happened, mobilize a few guards and discreetly check the cameras for any suspicious activity at around that time near the room. Also check for any unfamiliar faces." She sent Qi Qing away because she would be swiping the virtual screen and she did not need to be looked at like a crazy person.
On the virtual screen, she carefully screened through the footage and finally saw what she was looking for, an unknown man made his way into the dressing area disguised as one of the security guards and he made away with the diamonds.
Because he was dressed as one of the security guards nobody suspected him and he easily walked away after stealing.
"Find him." She told T4.
T4 quickly searched through all the footage until he found the man. "Host, the thief left the venue immediately after committing the theft."
"He left," Chi Lian sneered inside. So this man thought that he could just steal from her and walk away. It was not possible, she would hunt him to the ends of the earth if need be. People like that liked to prey on you once they discovered that you were weak. If he could steal once, he would definitely do it again. He must be one of the campers to go in and out of the venue with ease so he would be back. He probably assumed that he got away with the crime because there were no visible cameras in the area. "Send his face to every guard and the officers around. He is to be detained on sight."
"Sending the picture right now."
"And tell the head of the guards to come and see me, I need to know how he got his hands on that uniform."
The uniform was a black trouser and high quality black cotton shirt with a phoenix across the chest. She had specifically asked T4 to make it for the camping event. There was no way someone had already faked it so soon. Either someone had given it to him or he had injured a guard and got a hold of the uniform.
"If you haven’t sent the picture out hold on, if that thief has an accomplice we don’t want to tip them off."
"Deleting the text from their phones immediately." T4 said. "Your brothers and the head of security will be with you in less than thirty seconds."
"Okay. In the meantime, scan the grounds completely, I want to know if there is any injured person we haven’t found."
"Chi-Chi, her brothers burst into the area urgently, "What’s this we are hearing about a theft?" Chi Rui asked first. His worry was the effect such news would have on the campers and their celebrities. Only staff, security and celebrities were allowed back here. If diamonds had been stolen, the images of their celebrities would be ruined. The police would question them as suspects. It would be a full blown scandal. He had to convince his sister not to involve the police. They would handle the matter internally.
"It’s true, a man disguised as a security guard gained access to the dressing area and stole the diamonds that were meant to be used on Moxi’s dress."
Chi Rui was glad to hear that it was not one of their stars. "Should we call the police?" he asked.
Now that their stars were safe from scandal he was okay with the police being involved. In fact he wanted them to be involved.
"Host, I have found two injured people outside the venue, well one person and one cat." T4 intervened.
Before she could give him another instruction, Chi Wei asked, "What are we going to do about Moxi’s dress?"
She was addled, those were the only diamonds she had and she could not magically conjure up others out of thin air. The entire outfit would have to be changed. It was originally supposed to glow under the spotlight because of the sparkly diamonds. No diamonds meant no sparkling.
"I don’t know, call every designer we have available and tell them to come up with ideas immediately. I have something more pressing to check out."
That said, she run out of the dressing area and exited the venue. Outside, fans, press and on lookers were roaming around the area hoping to catch a glimpse of their celebrities. Ignoring them, she made her way into the woods quickly but not before asking T4 to scan the woods for any lurking danger. Once he confirmed that there was no hidden danger, she imperatively entered the thick woods. Fighting through thorny bushes she trudged on as she looked up at the sky. A couple of birds were chirping high above and crows were circling an around one specific area from high above. She did not need any pointers to know that this was where the injured man was.
She found the man and the cat on the ground. He was half naked, left to die only in his under garments. The man and the cat had similar stab wounds to the abdomen and neck. They had both been stabbed by the same person. According to T4, they were barely breathing and their vitals were dangerously low.
The two were about to board the bus for the netherworld. She needed to stop the bleeding immediately.
"T4, what do I do?" she asked in a panic.
"Host, you have a temporary health capsule, you can give one to the man and send him to the hospital. The capsule will get him to sixty percent and pull his life away from the brink of danger."
Immediately, she did as T4 suggested.
"What about the cat?"
