Chapter 15 You’re in Trouble

1301 Words
    Humph, as long as that guy stays in Oakdale, he could find a way to make him regret.     Thinking about Ben Gu's authentic work, Mister Tang couldn't help but feel excited. Although Ben Gu's paintings are popular, most of them were imitations. That painting was Ben Gu's authentic work. As long as he packaged it nicely and bring it to the auction, it could at least increase the original value of the painting by two or three times...     These few years, his business was in a bad state, and it was rare to make such a large deal.     While Mister Tang was thinking, his cell phone rang. When he saw the caller ID, he couldn't help but laugh. He picked up the phone and said, "Hello, brother, why are you free to call me today?"     An angry and deliberately quiet voice came from the phone. "What did you do today?"     Mister Tang was stunned and said, "Nothing. What's wrong?"     On the phone, the man spoke angrily, "Your subordinate was sent here with two criminals. How dare you say that you haven't done anything?"     "What?" Mister Tang jumped up. "What's wrong with the three of them?"     "Those two are national A-class criminals. Don't you know?"     "Of course I know. Boss, it's not like you don't know that in our line of work we need some ruthless characters."     "What do you need? You will get me into trouble sooner or later. Can't you do your business legally? Why do you have to do these improper things? F*ck... don't talk nonsense anymore. You are already committing a serious crime and I may be affected too. You should go somewhere else to hide..."     "What?" Mister Tang was stunned. He said nervously, "Is it that serious? You are the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau. Is it..."     "You must have been kicked in the head by a donkey. Besides, who did you offend today? Except for your subordinate, the two criminals were almost disabled..."     "How is it possible? They were just dealing with a college student..." Mister Tang was stunned.     "Bullshit, according to the way they were disarmed so ruthlessly and fiercely, it must have been a master. At the very least it cannot be done by an ordinary person. Brother, you have provoked someone you shouldn't provoke. Listen to me and hide."     There was a beeping sound coming from the phone. Mister Tang put down the phone in confusion, and he couldn’t put his mind straight for a while. His biggest backer was this big brother in the Public Security Bureau, so he could do whatever he wanted on the antique street. But now what the big brother had said made him feel very disappointed.     After a long time, he came to his senses and walked quickly into a room behind the counter...     Jacob Ye had nothing more to do and planned to leave the Antiques Street.     Suddenly, a voice sounded behind him, "Jacob, is that you?"     Jacob Ye turned around and was surprised to find Julian Zhou and a young man standing behind him.     Jacob Ye and Julian Zhou were good friends in the same dormitory at the Medical University. He grew up in Oakdale City. His family was very rich, but he usually kept a low profile.     Jacob Ye smiled and said, "Julian, what a coincidence. I came here today to have a look."     "Let me introduce my friend. This is Lin... Cole. This is my roommate, Jacob..." Julian Zhou said     "Hello." Jacob Ye extended his hand to Cole Lin.     Cole Lin nodded, touched Jacob Ye's hand, and then withdrew his.     Those who could get along with Julian Zhou were either rich or noble. Of course, other than Jacob Ye, and this Cole Lin did not look like an ordinary person. He was obviously a high-level official in Oakdale City. Not to mention, his upbringing and temperament were different from ordinary people.     Jacob Ye and the others were obviously from two different groups. Cole Lin had only shaken hands with Jacob Ye out of courtesy.     Julian Zhou did not care that much. In his opinion, all his friends are Jacob Ye's friends. He immediately patted Jacob Ye on the shoulder and said, "Haven't you eaten yet? Let's go together?"     Jacob Ye shook his head and said, "No, I have something to do. I won't disturb you."     "Don't be shy, we are all friends," Cole Lin said flatly. It was obvious that he was only trying to be polite.     How could Jacob Ye not understand? Just as he was about to refuse, Cole Lin saw the long parcel in Jacob Ye's hand and immediately became interested.     "Brother, this is a calligraphy painting, right?" Cole Lin said uncertainly.     Jacob Ye smiled and said, "Yes, I just found it in a stall. In fact, I don't understand this. I just bought it for fun."     "You, such elegance..." Julian Zhou joked.     Jacob Ye smiled and did not answer.     Obviously, Cole Lin was interested in calligraphy and paintings. He said, "Can I have a look?"     "Of course." Jacob Ye readily agreed and immediately unfolded the painting in his hand.     Cole Lin took the painting in Jacob Ye's hand and looked at it with interest.     However, Cole Lin expression immediately changed.     Julian Zhou, who seemed to have sensed the look on Cole Lin's face, asked in surprise, "What's wrong, b*tch Lin? Is there anything wrong with that?"     The two of them knew each other well. Julian Zhou usually referred to Cole Lin as b*tch Lin.     Cole Lin didn't say anything, but his hands trembled with excitement. Cole Lin excitedly spread the picture on the stone table on one side, taking out a magnifying glass from his bag and looked at it carefully.     Jacob Ye was stunned. He didn't expect that Cole Lin to be an expert. From his expression, it seemed that he had already felt that this painting was extraordinary.     But Julian Zhou was confused for a moment. Seeing Cole Lin's excitement, he didn't want to disturb him.     After looking carefully for more than ten minutes, Cole Lin put down the magnifying glass and murmured, "Authentic, this is Ben Gu's authentic work."     "Ben Gu, is it true?" Although Julian Zhou did not understand calligraphy and painting, at least he knew who Ben Gu was. Julian Zhou patted his thigh and said, "That means, this is an antique. B*tch Lin, how much is this painting worth?"     Cole Lin blushed with excitement. He grabbed Jacob Ye and said excitedly, "Brother, can you sell this to me? How much is this painting?"     "This..." Jacob Yen hesitated.     In fact, Jacob Ye did not know the specific price of this authentic Ben Gu, but he knew that it was not less than 500,000 yuan. It was just that it was not easy for him to ask.     Noticing Jacob Ye's hesitation, Cole Lin looked at Julian Zhou, asking for help. He had always liked Ben Gu's calligraphy and paintings, and now that he had met his authentic work, he would naturally not let it go easily.     Julian Zhou understood. He immediately patted Jacob Ye on the shoulder and said, "Jacob, if you don't want to sell it, forget it. If you want to sell it." He pointed to Cole Lin and said, "B*tch Lin will give you a fair price."     There was no doubt about Julian Zhou's and Jacob Ye's brotherhood. Jacob Ye immediately nodded and said, "We are friends. Cole, give me your price."     "Well, you are really straightforward." Cole Lin pat Jacob Ye on the shoulder and said, "Brother, how about this. I estimate this painting is worth about 500,000 yuan. Of course, it will be higher if it is auctioned. After removing the processing fee of auctioning, it will be about 800,000 yuan. So, I will pay one million yuan..."
