“The Inheritance of Blood Agate”

Zhou Yuqing wiped the dust off the counter of “Yuyuanzhai”, the small shop her grandfather left her. The afternoon sun shone through the carved wooden windows onto the jades that no one cared about.

The doorbell rang softly, and a middle-aged man in a suit walked in. “Excuse me, is Mr. Zhou here?”

“Grandpa passed away two years ago.” Yuqing answered softly.

The man looked regretful and took out a rosewood box from his arms: “What a pity, I wanted to ask Mr. Zhou to identify this string of blood agate.”

The moment the lid of the box was opened, Yuqing held her breath – twelve blood-colored agate beads, each of which was carved with delicate lotus patterns. She picked up a magnifying glass and found an almost invisible “Zhou” mark on the inside of the third bead.

Her fingers trembled slightly. This was the “blood chalcedony” bracelet that Grandpa mentioned before his death, which had been missing for twenty years. His most proud work in his life, mysteriously disappeared after an exhibition.

“Do you need further identification?” the man asked with a smile, his eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses were unfathomable.

Yu Qing steadied her voice: “Yes, I need to use professional equipment. Can you come back tomorrow?”

After seeing off the guests, she immediately called Professor Ma. This old friend of her grandfather once said that the theft of the bracelet was related to an underground cultural relic smuggling group.

That night, Yu Qing opened her grandfather’s diary and found a record about “blood jade”: “This thing is spiritual and can distinguish the good and evil of people’s hearts…”

The next day, Lin Mo did not show up. Until closing time, a black car stopped outside the store. The car window was lowered, and Lin Mo’s voice came: “Ms. Zhou, are you interested in seeing my other collections?”

Yu Qing held the phone in her pocket tightly and got into the car. She didn’t know where this string of blood agate would take her, but she had to find her grandfather’s relics and solve the mystery of twenty years ago.
