Chapter 1243: Chapter 1443 Being Followed

She analyzed that the quality of the jade bracelet must be far superior to what the owner had told her, "not bad, better than average."

It seemed the owner had his own motives. He must have known from the moment she walked in that she was considering selling the bracelet. So, he was indirectly lowering the price and inducing her to sell.

Indeed, the old saying was true: there is no business without deceit!

His so-called fairness was merely relative.

The female customer, seeing the owner wouldn’t show her, turned her gaze to An Hao: "Hello, is this your bracelet? May I take a look at it?"

An Hao looked at her, closely searching for the emotions revealed in the depths of her eyes: eagerness, astonishment, and even a bit of... a desperate desire to possess...

"I think your bracelet is really nice. Could you let me take a look at it? Just a quick glance," the woman said, her gaze fixed on An Hao’s bracelet.

"Sorry." An Hao retrieved the bracelet from the owner’s hands, "I am not selling."

After speaking, she slipped the bracelet onto her wrist and turned to leave the Jade Store.

The straightforwardness of that female customer’s gaze earlier was too much, making An Hao dare not hand over the bracelet to her. What if she tried to snatch it away?

Although the bracelet was not sold today, An Hao was certain of one thing: the bracelet was no ordinary piece, and it was definitely priceless!

Just by observing the owner’s actions, one could tell, although he restrained his facial expressions and gaze, his repetitive caressing and utmost care made it apparent to An Hao.

It seemed that what Li Junping said about an heirloom passed down from ancestors was not at all false; the bracelet appeared to be quite old.

However, she probably did not know the true value of the bracelet, so in a moment of impulsiveness, she had given it to her.

If Li Junping were to find out now, wouldn’t she be devastated?

It seemed that she really needed to rely on her grandfather’s connections to see if there was an expert in ancient jade to appraise it.

An Hao walked on, lost in thought.

After walking for a while and feeling tired, she stopped to rest for a bit. Just as she was about to cross the street to the bus station on the other side, she turned her head and coincidentally saw the woman she had encountered at the Jade Store.

The woman, startled by An Hao’s abrupt turn, quickly blended into the pedestrians nearby.

Following her?

An Hao felt a foreboding premonition and decided not to take the bus. While the woman was not paying attention, she followed the pedestrians and crossed the street.

She stealthily hid behind an inconspicuous tree trunk, watching the woman. Indeed, when that woman could no longer see An Hao, she went up to the bus station’s platform, looking left and right as if searching for An Hao.

Shortly after, the second bus came by, and with the woman unable to find her target, she shook her head in frustration and boarded the bus.

Watching her leave, An Hao quietly breathed a sigh of relief. She returned to the platform to wait for the next bus. When it arrived, she quickly got on and took the bus back to the military compound.

After getting off the bus, An Hao did not rush home; she looked around for a long time, ensuring no one was following her, before confidently heading back.

Once at home, where Zhang Yun was cooking in the kitchen, An Hao greeted her and then went upstairs.

She carefully took off the bracelet and placed it back into the brocade box, breathing a sigh of relief. But at this moment, her mind wouldn’t stop reflecting on the afternoon’s events...
