It seemed that this time was truly an excellent opportunity.
...
The president got back into his car. There was a gorgeous woman inside. Crossing her arms, she watched the man enter and immediately rushed over.
Pouting, she coquettishly complained, "You're so annoying! Why did we come here?"
Unlike his impatience before, the man hugged the woman who threw herself into his arms tightly. "There was no other way," he said.
"I think you've already obtained that jewelry. Why can't you keep it?" The woman's face was full of indignation.
Biting her lip, she looked at the man pitifully.
The man lowered his voice and sighed. "It's been targeted. If I want to keep it, I can only rely on the power of the country."
"Humph! That thief must be crazy." The woman also knew that the jewelry had been targeted. Rolling her eyes, she nestled into the man's arms.
Suddenly, she said softly, "I have good news."
The man's expression froze. A flicker of uneasiness crossed his face.
"I'm pregnant," the woman whispered. She took the man's hand and placed it on her belly. "Feel it. There's a little life in my belly now."
The man's face turned deathly pale, and his whole body went cold.
He tried to remain calm on the surface and said softly, "Baby, but it's not the right time for us to have this baby."
"What do you mean it's not the right time?" The woman looked up, dissatisfied. "Do you still count on your wife? It's been decades, and her belly has shown no sign of life. She's just a barren old hen. Why do you still keep her around?"
The man didn't show any hesitation on his face because of this remark.
He continued to console her. "Baby, my position isn't stable yet. Listen to me. We can't have this child. You're still young. We'll have plenty of opportunities in the future."
The woman opened her mouth, her face full of disbelief. She had thought of many possibilities, but she never imagined that the father of the child would not want it.
She shook her head. "If you don't want it, that's fine, but I do. I want to see how you'll face this child in the future."
With that, she opened the car door and rushed out.
The car was very close to the hall. If anyone walked towards the hall at this moment, they would see a gorgeous woman getting out of the car of their beloved president.
The man was extremely anxious. He quickly got into the car, said some nice words, and then forcefully pulled the woman back in.
"Baby, okay, okay. We'll have the baby," the man quickly consoled her.
The woman stopped struggling. "Really?"
The man immediately showed his sincerity. "Really. I swear."
He looked as sincere as if the heavens could bear witness.
The woman gave a soft snort and smiled smugly. She got into the car with the man and softly threatened, "I'm telling you. If you dare to abandon me and the child, I'll make sure everyone in the country knows about it."
"How could I?" The man hugged the woman, rested his head on her neck, and whispered sweet nothings, but a glint of murder flashed in his eyes.
After a while, the woman spoke again. "When can I stand by your side openly?"
She bit her lip and stamped her foot, looking extremely charming. Any man who saw this would be tempted.
The man immediately consoled her. "Next year. Next year, my position will be stable. Don't be impatient, baby."
"Why shouldn't I be impatient? By then, our child will be born. Without a proper name, how can I explain it to the child?"
The woman looked aggrieved.
It took the man a long time to console the woman.
Looking at the time, the man gently kissed the woman on the forehead and said to her, "Baby, I have to go and handle some affairs now. You're pregnant, so you need to rest more. How about I ask the driver to take you to one of my villas?"
The woman was overjoyed when she heard this. Sure enough, she got more benefits by not having an abortion. She quickly nodded obediently. "Okay. You also need to take good care of yourself, baby."
After they had been affectionate for a while, the man got out of the car.
This time, the guards who had been in other cars also got out and surrounded him.
He walked a few steps and then suddenly stopped. He called the driver of his car.
He simply said, "The person in the car can't be kept. Find a way to deal with her."
The driver glanced at the excited woman in the rear - view mirror and nodded. "Yes."
The car turned. The woman thought they were going to the villa, but she didn't know that this road was the path to the underworld with no return.
The president walked to the door. The person in charge immediately walked over.
He whispered, "Mr. President, Dr. Gray has arrived."
The president nodded and followed the person in charge inside.
There was a man with a high nose and green eyes beside the jewelry, examining all kinds of mechanisms and constantly shaking his head.
The face of the person in charge turned pale again. It seemed that this time, he would surely be punished.
"Dr. Gray?" the president called out uncertainly.
The man turned around, nodded, and looked at the president. "Hello. I'm the one who was invited here."
"What do you think?"
The doctor shook his head. "It's very ordinary."
The person in charge's heart skipped a beat.
The doctor continued, "You see, although there are three mechanisms here - the glass, the guards, and the cage - for him, these are simply too easy."
The person the doctor referred to was undoubtedly the thief.
He continued to examine the place for a while and then shook his head. "I've studied all the thefts he's been involved in. I've even seen places with three - layer or even six - layer mechanisms. That means these are a piece of cake for him."
At this time, the president asked calmly, "Do you have any good suggestions, Doctor?"
The doctor still shook his head. "The time is too short. I don't have enough time to prepare. However, I do have a way."
After he finished speaking, the president nodded and said to the person in charge beside him, "You should communicate with the doctor. Make sure everything is done properly." Then he entered the suite that had been prepared for him, took a short rest, and waited for the time to come.
After seeing the president enter the room, a look of confusion flashed in the doctor's green eyes.
This man seemed too nonchalant.
The person in charge let out a sigh of relief. His bright eyes looked at the doctor excitedly. "Please enlighten me!"
His words were full of relief as if he had come back from the dead.
The doctor withdrew his gaze, resumed his usual expression, and began to explain to the person in charge.
At this moment, in the large hall, no one noticed that an ordinary - looking man had also disappeared.
Outside the VIP presidential suite, the guards from before were standing guard. The president was sitting inside, tightly clutching the key. As long as this day passed, all his troubles would be solved.
He closed his eyes and waited for time to pass.
At this moment, the alarm in the hall suddenly went off. Everyone who had been chatting idly immediately became vigilant and approached the location of the jewelry.
At this time, the two guards guarding the jewelry were looking at each other in confusion, locked in the cage. The shiny diamond was still prominently placed inside the glass.
Everyone was completely stunned by this inexplicable situation.
What was going on?
The person in charge suddenly walked through the crowd and apologized to everyone. "Sorry. It was just an accident. I was testing the mechanisms. Everyone, please go back."
The president, who had rushed down after getting the news, also slowed down his steps and returned to the suite.
