Chapter 204 Everything Is Over

Caden shouted, “Kirk.” Kirk immediately took out a handful of money, about fifty thousand yuan, “Sir,
this is the reward for your information. We are in a hurry, and didn’t bring too much cash. Sorry about
that.”

With that, he put the money into the driver’s hand, who was already shocked. Kirk caught up with
Caden and got in his car.

“Make a call to ask about the flight to Xiamen: whether there is only one flight at this time, and have the
most recent one taken off yet.”

“No problem.”

After a while, Kirk answered, “Boss, it just took off, what should we do?”

“If I am not mistaken, Mr. Chang had a private plane in Hangzhou?” As he said, he started to call the
“Mr. Chang” that he just mentioned, trying to ask the latter about borrowing the plane.

A layer of thin sweat permeated out from Gloria’s forehead. Caden narrowed his eyes: “Gloria, are you
feeling hot?”

“Yeah, a little bit. I am not very used to the weather in Hangzhou.” Her answer was mediocre. Caden
stared at her for a while, then moved his sight away.

Nobody knew that the back of Gloria was already sticky due to the sweat.

The private plane that Caden borrowed took off.

He was on his way to Xiamen.



Grace didn’t take the plane to Xiamen. Instead, she changed direction in the airport and headed
towards the city. She firstly registered for a bank card. Next, she went to a very high-end antique store,
selling a diamond necklace and a jade from the iron box. As she saw the diamond necklace and that
jade, she felt that life was really ironic.

She was about to escape, but the money was the present that Caden gave her.

The jewelries that Caden gave her were very expensive. That jade was worth more than three hundred
thousand alone. She knew it, no mention the diamond necklace. Now the antique store deliberately
forced down the price to a total of three hundred thousand for both the necklace and the jade.

“This price can be used to bully those who know nothing about antiques. But I know this jade alone is
worth more than three hundred thousand yuan.” she said, but she was quick to continue, “However, if
you can give me three hundred thousand in cash right now, that would work too.”

“Are they clean?”

Grace understood. The buyer noticed her eagerness to sell those stuffs as soon as possible, and he
was afraid that the cargoes were illegal.

Grace took out the receipt from the iron box, “I have the receipts.”

The buyer was relieved when he saw the receipts. As for the reason why Grace would sell those two
items in such a low price. He wouldn’t care as long as the cargoes were legal, he didn’t care about
other things. Therefore, he would not ask the reason, and said,

“Give me the receipts.” With that, he called a servant to his side: “Go prepare three hundred thousand
cash.”



Working in this circle, sometimes they would need a large amount of cash. As a result, the safe in the
finance office kept a lot of cash in case they needed any.

“May I send someone to accompany you?”

Grace smiled faintly and looked at the buyer: “No, thanks.”

She held a black haversack, the very large ones were sold online. She put the three hundred thousand
into the haversack so that it wouldn’t attract others’ attention.

She went to the bank inconspicuously and stored the cash into her card, leaving only ten thousand as
cash in till.

After all the preparations, she took a taxi to Ningbo, where she sold some other jewelries from the iron
box and stored the cash into her card.

Then took a taxi again to Suzhou, sold the jewelries and stored the cash.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to take a train, plane, or bus. However, with the iron box she carried, she
couldn’t make it through the security check. Consequently, she could only take a taxi to different places
and sell the jewelries until there was only a diamond ring left in the iron box. She rubbed the ring gently
while standing where she was for a long time.

Gradually, she put the ring through the necklace given by Gloria and put it back on her neck again.

She bought a flight ticket to Lijiang.

It wasn’t until the moment that the plane took off, did she exhaled a foul breath. As she felt the plane
ascending, she realized that she finally rid herself from the mire!



The sky of Lijiang was blue and close to the ground, as though she could touch it when stretching out
her hand. The moment she walked out of the airport, she almost couldn’t help yelling out loud: I am
free!

“Where are you going, madam?”

“Erhai… Erhai!” She said it once, then shouted loudly to the driver for the second time, “I am going to
Erhai!” She said it more determinedly for the third time.

As though she couldn’t believe the day that she had been expecting had finally come. This was real.
She confirmed with herself again and again.

“I heard you, I heard you, Madam. Please don’t be so loud, I am not a deaf.” The driver was joking with
her, very friendly, very humorous. Later, Grace was like a completely different person on her way. She
kept conversing with the driver and talked a lot. And the driver was a member of the minority.

“Have you found a hotel yet? The hotels in Erhai have their own uniqueness.”

On the way, the driver was very kind, and the two kept chatting. The drive to Erhai had quite a distance
to go, so the driver chatted with Grace to kill time.

Grace suddenly thought of something. She just wanted to be here quickly, but she forgot what she
needed to do when she arrived at Erhai.

To open a hotel sounded easy, but she had no idea how to accomplish this when she actually needed
to do it. Luckily, she got a large amount of money by selling the jewelries.

“I want… I want to find a one that is not so popular. This was my first time to go to Erhai, do you know
any?”



“A not so popular one? You are special. Others are all heading to some sorts of ancient towns, but you
are looking for a distant one. My family live next to Erhai, and we had a house that was inherited for
many generations. Now it was changed to a hotel, why don’t come to my family hotel if you haven’t
found one yet?”

Erhai was not an ocean, but this was the purest lake that Grace had ever seen in her life. The lake was
so large that one couldn’t see the ends of the lake.

“Open the window.”

The car window was lowered, she stretched her hands out, only dared to stretch a little bit to feel the
wind gliding through her fingertips— that was the feeling of freedom. Every time the wind passed
through, it took away some warmth. The good and bad things that she had experienced were taken
away bit by bit along with the wind.

She told herself once: Everything was the past.

This time, everything was really in the past.

What she did not know was that during the days she left, someone was almost driven crazy. That
person almost searched every corner of the S City, but couldn’t find any trace.

The Shaw family was like changing blood. Kirk knelt on the ground. He didn’t know that some words
were lethal to others; he didn’t know that his explicit or implicit words were hurting that woman again
and again in the past; he didn’t know that he, who knew nothing about that woman, acted like everyone
else, labeling many many scornful tags onto that traceless woman.

But at the end… That woman was the most innocent one!



“I will give you a chance to explain.” On the sofa of the living room, the man looked depressed, messy
sideburns, and a chin full of moustache. He looked as if he had experienced a lot, but his eyes were so
cold that it could freeze someone’s bones.
