"The weather is really nice today." Gu Ming said softly with her eyes closed.

  Qin Sheng nodded in agreement: "That's right, it's suitable for traveling. It's been several days since the sun came out."

  "What's up? You're looking for me?" Gu Mei turned her head and asked Qin Sheng.

  "Do you know about the extremely popular Starlight Blue Sapphire that was all the rage recently?" Qin Sheng asked, seemingly nonchalant.

  Gu Xiang's heart slightly stirred, and she fixed her gaze on Qin Sheng for a few moments before nodding: "I know, I remember that at the time of the auction house theft, there were no shortage of reports about the Starlight Blue Sapphire."

  "There have been rumors circulating outside recently that the Starlight Blue Sapphire, which was not sold at auction last time, may be put up for sale again in the near future." Qin Sheng paused and looked at Gu Mei: "What do you think about this?"

  "What else can we do? Some people are willing to sell, and some are willing to buy. However, I am quite curious about that Starlight Blue Gemstone, I really want to go see it for myself." Gu Mian smiled and said.

  "If you were given a chance, would you be willing to go?" Qin Sheng asked again.

  "What does it mean?" Gu Mian looked at Qin Sheng in surprise.

  "I didn't say before that I would find a way to help you become Old Xue's apprentice, and when I need help, you will help me. Now is the time when I need your help." Qin Sheng said in a low voice.

  His voice was a little ethereal, passing through Gu Mian's ears and into her heart, where it felt like her heart had been lightly swept by feathers, making her feel numb and ticklish, with an inexplicable temptation.

  "I won't forget what I promised you, but what does this have to do with the Starlight Blue Sapphire?" Gu Mian's voice also softened uncontrollably.

  "I know who leaked the news, and I think there's something fishy about it. I'd like you to help me verify whether that Starlight Blue Gemstone is genuine or not." Qin Sheng said slowly.

  Gu Meng looked at Qin Sheng with a mixture of surprise and curiosity. Han Lu and the others didn't know who had leaked this information, but they knew that the Starlight Blue Sapphire might be sold soon, and the rumors seemed credible.

  "Why would you want me to identify the authenticity? Jewelry appraisal seems like something that should be done by a professional jewelry appraiser." Gu Mian secretly speculated about Qin Sheng's intentions.

  Qin Sheng smiled slightly and said, "If you are the owner of that top-grade Starlight Blue Gemstone, it failed to sell at auction the first time and then disappeared without a trace. It seems like you didn't plan on selling it again. So, would you appear once more after several months have passed?"

  Gu Xiang looked at Qin Sheng with a seemingly understanding yet puzzled expression. What did he mean by saying that? Was he intentionally making an analogy to her, or was it unintentional? Why couldn't anything else be used as a comparison, and why specifically say she was the owner of the top-grade Starlight Blue Gemstone?

  Although there were doubts in her mind, Gu Mei's subconscious felt that no matter what, Qin Sheng would never harm her. So she chose to follow her own intentions and replied: "One drum makes a sound, since we've stopped, we won't come out again. Otherwise... it's easy to get burned by the fire."

  This is also why it was hidden after the first auction failed, regret is one reason, and being reluctant to part with it is another. There's also that she knows the Starlight Blue Sapphire she brought out has caught other people's attention, and now she doesn't have the ability to truly protect the Starlight Blue Sapphire. The only thing she can do is hide it well, so others can't find it.

  "I thought so too." Qin Sheng smiled, seemingly very satisfied with Gu Mian's answer: "So I think it's strange and want to figure out what's going on."

  "Why are you trying to figure it out? Are you planning on buying it?" asked Gu Ming.

  "No." Qin Sheng shook his head and immediately said: "I want to make it clear that the person who released this news is my rival..."

  "Your arch-nemesis?" This was the first time Gu Mei had heard Qin Sheng mention this.

  There is also competition between antique shops. Qin Sheng has a rival, Gu Ming, which doesn't seem strange to him, but what's surprising is that he can make Qin Sheng so concerned. He's probably not an ordinary rival.

  "Since it's your rival, and you don't plan on buying the Starlight Blue Gemstone, how can I tell what's real or fake? I'm afraid others won't even let me touch it." Gu Mian said to Qin Sheng.

  "The boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, there will always be a way." Qin Sheng carefully observed Gu Mian's expression. Seeing that Gu Mian didn't show any unusual signs, he secretly let out a sigh of relief.

  It seems that the Starlight Blue Sapphire that was passed around wasn't the one on Gu Mei's hand.

  "Then I'll wait for you, I also want to see how extreme the so-called Extreme Starlight Blue Sapphire is." Gu Mei said with great interest.

  "Definitely." Qin Sheng's goal for today had been achieved, and his mood had improved a bit: "The day after tomorrow, a friend's restaurant is having its grand opening, do you want to go try it out? Their food is pretty good."

  "Are you treating?" asked Gu Ming with a smile.

  "Of course." Qin Sheng nodded.

  "I wouldn't refuse a free meal." Considering Qin Sheng's recent performance was not bad, Gu Mei decided to accept the invitation. She had a good grasp of the situation and didn't overdo it, or things would get out of control.

  Qin Sheng is a living example, Gu Ming remembers it very clearly.

  After Qin Sheng left, Gu Mei didn't go back to her ward directly. Instead, she sat alone in the garden for a while, thinking about the Starlight Blue Sapphire.

  Today she finally took the opportunity to check her safe deposit box at the bank, and found that her Pi Xiu and Starlight Blue Sapphire were still lying inside, exactly as they were when she left last time, without any signs of being touched by anyone.

  If it wasn't for her being certain that the Starlight Blue Sapphire to be sold was not hers, Qin Sheng would have asked about this matter today and she wouldn't have been able to face it so calmly.

  No matter what, she had made up her mind. The Starlight Blue Sapphire in her hand was not to be taken out no matter what. It was about the Starlight Blue Sapphire that was about to be sold and why it had to be hyped up using the name of the top-grade Starlight Blue Sapphire in her hand. As long as it didn't involve her, it was fine.

  One day, she will let the Starlight Sapphire in the Pixiu's belly appear openly and grandly before everyone, without having to hide it all the time.

  That day, Han Lu mentioned that if someone proposed to her with a top-grade Starlight Blue Sapphire, she would marry him immediately. After that, Gu Mian had an idea in her mind - she hoped that on the day of her own wedding, she could wear her own Starlight Blue Sapphire. She even thought of who could make it into a suitable piece of jewelry - Huang Laobo, someone with whom Robert wouldn't even bother to ask for help despite having met him several times and being willing to travel thousands of miles from overseas.

  I believe Old Man Huang's craftsmanship will not disappoint her Starlight Blue Sapphire, but that's for later. For now, what needs to be done is to improve oneself well, only by standing at the top can one not have to fear.

  Gu Mei slightly raised her left hand, the white jade bangle on it looked even more lustrous and enticing under the sunlight. She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that the jade bangle seemed to have become prettier after she put it on. Before, there were still some minor impurities visible, but now, upon closer inspection, those impurities seemed to have decreased significantly...

  "My dear, I don't know what's going on with you, but from the bottom of my heart, thank you, thank you for bringing me new life." Gu Mian clasped her hands together in utmost sincerity, thanking heaven.

  After finishing thanking, Gu Ming finally stood up and walked towards grandfather's sickroom. Everything is different from before, and I believe it will be even more different in the future.

  Gu Xiang asked Mr. Qiao's intention, to see if she needed help from Shaanxi, after all, she had done things halfway and ran away, always feeling a bit sorry for Mr. Qiao.

  Mr. Qiao just said that she didn't need to go back and instead entrusted her with some other things, letting her stay active in the city.

  He instructed Gu Mian to do things related to Professor Wang, and although Yang Lin's group has not been caught yet, the matter of the ancient Korean tomb has already been reported, and next, it will be necessary for the central government to send someone over for further investigation.

  Professor Wang, as Mr. Qiao's good friend and also Gu Ming's teacher, was naturally assigned by the people above to go there. What Gu Ming had to do was to help Professor Wang prepare and sort out some other materials.

  Of course, since she belongs to the private investigation team this time, the previous tasks have been done more or less, and the later tasks are also much fewer than others.

  Chen Peng found that she was much more polite and affectionate than before, as if the unpleasant things that had happened with Gu Mian were just an illusion.

  In response, Gu Mei neither approved nor disapproved. Everyone has the right to choose their own way of survival, and she also knew that Chen Peng's adaptable personality, although not likable in some aspects, would make it easier for him to pave his own path compared to others.

  Time flew by in Gu Mian's busy schedule, and soon it was the opening time of the wine house mentioned by Qin Sheng. She naturally followed Qin Sheng there.

  To be honest, the feeling there is really good, and looking at the person who opened the wine house, it's clear that they have a strong background. On the opening day, many famous people in the city and even nationwide came to support them.

  Also, Qin Sheng said that the wine house was indeed a bit humiliating to the family, and Gu Ming looked at the large-scale entertainment city that gathered food, drink and entertainment, and felt that the two words "wine house" were not worthy of the family.

  Yu Xiao couldn't come in person because he hadn't finished dealing with the matters in Shaanxi, so he specifically instructed Qin Sheng to help him send a gift.

  "Qin Sheng, what a coincidence, you're here too." Just as Qin Sheng and Gu Mian were about to go greet the boss, a voice with an unusual tone rang out.
