Chapter 237: Second Flow? Did these people give you money?

Let’s not comment on Qin Guocheng’s character for now, but at least when he saw that Gu Shengsheng was capable, he was able to behave properly.

At least it was he who introduced Zhao Dehai to him before.

So we are old acquaintances.

Gu Shengsheng believed that this person would not lie.

After thinking about it, she called Qin Guocheng.

Said: "Mr. Qin, I am Gu Shengsheng."

The other side just laughed non-stop: "Shengsheng, it's been a long time since I last came to Jing City to buy a treasure chest from you."

"If you have time recently, come and chat with me, an old man, more often! Shengsheng."

Qin Guocheng laughed heartily.

After all, Gu Shengsheng was also a little girl he had watched grow up. He had always wondered what kind of tricks this little girl had used to become so powerful!

Moreover, there was a trend of him leaving the others far behind. He even felt at that time that Gu Shengsheng had extraordinary abilities.

He has been in Beijing for a short time, but he already has such a status and position, and his international influence is also extraordinary.

Now, Qin Guocheng himself has reached a point where he is far behind. He feels that he is not even comparable to Gu Shengsheng.

When he discovered that others were really excellent, he felt more at ease and even hoped that Gu Shengsheng would become better and better. As a fellow villager from Rui City, he was also proud of himself.

Gu Shengsheng listened to his words with clarity. "I do have something to ask you. Mr. Qin, you're one of the most influential people in Rui City. I want to ask, have you ever seen a group of inexplicable people kidnap you using various means?"

"And then ask you to help identify it?"

When Gu Shengsheng asked this, Qin Guocheng paused and said, "Did you encounter it?"

As soon as these words came out, Gu Shengsheng knew that he had also experienced it.

Then she nodded: "Yes."

Qin Guocheng sighed: "Actually, it looks like kidnapping, but I don't think they dare to do anything to you or your family, not even to treat you with good wine and good food, right?"

Gu Shengsheng nodded: "Yeah, I beat you up, and you told me not to feel guilty."

Qin Guocheng nodded: "That's right. Because they need your help. It's hard to say, you can make your own decision."

"At that time, I was taken to a small dark room and asked to help identify a white jade bottle."

Gu Shengsheng asked, "What period did you identify the white jade bottle from? Where was it used later?"

He shook his head. "It's hard to say. I identified it as from the Western Jin Dynasty, which was incredible to me. That was probably the greatest highlight of my life."

Qin Guocheng sighed, "I didn't think it was a big deal then, but ever since then, I seem to have lost the ability to identify things. I'm getting older and I can't do anything anymore."

"As for where it was used later? I don't know. I haven't seen it. So I don't know what organization it was used for."

Gu Shengsheng was furious: "How despicable! These people are such scum. They locked you up to help with the identification? Why didn't you call the police?"

"Did they pay you?"

"Ahem." Qin Guocheng nodded embarrassedly: "That's the problem. They paid money, and the reward was very generous. This kind of thing of paying is not called kidnapping."

"And if they treat you well and don't do anything excessive to you, the things you described wouldn't count as kidnapping. After all, no one can definitively explain such matters. They're in a gray area, just enough to skirt the law."

Gu Shengsheng actually agreed with this. It seemed that whether it was Grandma's matter or this low-level "tracking", it was ultimately just like playing house with her.

It seems that the purpose is not kidnapping, but to make her go to the jade market to report it.

Having said that, Gu Shengsheng actually felt even more uneasy.

Inquiry: "Mr. Qin, if you help someone do something bad, will you feel guilty?"

"There's no way to control this. I'm just a lousy treasure appraiser. I get paid to do my job. I'm just in charge of whether the treasures are authentic or not. Other things really have nothing to do with me."

"Understood."

Gu Shengsheng knew that the identities of these people were difficult to find out, and they should have considerable power.

Logically speaking, paying money to get things done is indeed natural. Gu Shengsheng didn't like the feeling of being threatened.

Why should everything about you be controlled by others while you know nothing about it?

Even if it meant making money, she didn't want others to spy on her and then manipulate her to make money.

Gu Shengsheng herself felt that it was unnecessary to earn money in this way.

So why can't she counter-reconnaissance?

Thinking of this, she carefully connected everything that had happened recently and pieced together these clues. Finally, with the addition of the memories of the parallel time and space, Gu Shengsheng tried hard to recall all the anecdotes about the treasure appraisal industry.

They should be a spontaneous civil organization, with diverse talents, and the origins of their cultural relics are unknown, and they are all valuable cultural relics that are almost impossible to dig up. At the same time, they have enough money and never stand in the "sunlight"...

After having this idea, Gu Shengsheng thought of a cultural relic return organization he had heard of on the other side of the parallel world.

At that time I thought it was just a rumor spread among the people, but now it seems that everything is correct.

The so-called return of cultural relics means reselling cultural relics and valuable items from various places to others, repeatedly turning them over several times to make a profit.

This is equivalent to rationalizing the illegal trade of cultural relics. After all, they have changed hands so many times, who knows who got them from and where?

After all, it will eventually return to the museum, and we will spend a high price to put our cultural characteristics in the museum.

The source cannot be traced, so there is no way to track it down, and this is the loophole they encountered.

Rui City borders foreign countries, so there is still a lot of room for land activities here.

Thinking this way, Gu Shengsheng felt that everything made sense.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

Anyway, I know these people won't give up on her easily. Now if I go back to Beijing, there are still ten thousand ways to get her to come for identification.

Being able to find her and being so resourceful meant that he had been targeting her for a long time, and perhaps she was the only one he could have.

After such a clear analysis, Gu Shengsheng felt less scared. Instead, he was curious about what they were trying to identify.

After confirming that everything was safe, he asked Zhang Lianqing to help bring Grandma into Beijing City. Gu Shengsheng also hurried to the alley where he had just seen the strong man.

Because she just saw the strong man hiding in the corner of the alley to rest.

Gu Shengsheng looked at a few people.

The muscular men were stunned for a moment, and then swallowed their saliva: "Ms. Gu... Miss Gu, how are you going to deal with us? We really know we are wrong. Did you bring the police? We really didn't do anything."

"Don't even dare to move a finger! Please, let us go," they begged.

Gu Shengsheng stretched out his hands: "Come on, take me to see your boss and tie me up."

Several people: "..." Unbelievable, Gu Shengsheng looked like he was going crazy.
