Looking at Wen Wan's cautious demeanor, Zhang Fan wondered what her relationship was with Wen Xi. They were clearly not on the same wavelength.

Wen Xi exudes an air of nobility, while Wen Wan is more like a girl from a modest family, less bold, and much more unassuming. So, I'm quite curious about their true identities.

But I don't care about all that. I don't have any financial experts around me. They're all just roughnecks. They're fine for fighting, but what about short selling?

They don't even know what short selling is.

We still need talent. Talented people are willing to pay money. This time, we're offering 1,500, which is the market rate. It depends on their abilities. If they're capable, we'd be willing to pay 15 million.

At this moment, Liu Tiezhu arrived at the shop with his men.

A large group of people, including the second uncle who was dressed in a suit and tie, looking like a gang leader.

Zhang Fan looked at Liu Tiezhu, who quickly came over.

"Boss, a rich guy recently came. He needs to make a show of himself. He likes people to call him Brother Lin, and then Brother Lin is all powerful and domineering. I'm taking some people over to cheer him on. It's paid daily, five hundred per person per day. The only requirement is that we have to dress formally."

Liu Tiezhu found another job somewhere.

five hundred?

one day?

That's definitely a high salary. You can hire someone for a hundred yuan these days, especially an old man like that. You'd be lucky to get fifty yuan.

"You haven't been involved in the Mark Six lottery, have you?"

Zhang Fan asked.

"I've stopped. They've been cracking down on it lately. Whoever does it will be arrested. They're cracking down very strictly. I sold the information. A boss thought my information was amazing, so he bought it for 100,000 yuan."

Liu Tiezhu was very pleased with himself.

That was all just something he did casually; there's nothing magical about it. He just claims to be an exclusive agent of the Jockey Club and says he has inside information.

Where can I find firsthand information? If I really had it, I would have made a fortune long ago. Why would I have waited until today?

Zhang Fan nodded, watching Liu Tiezhu leave with his men. He really was his good brother; he couldn't stay idle. Hu Dajun could at least go and keep an eye on things over at the sand mining site, but Liu Tiezhu just wanted to make a fortune.

They don't even look at ordinary business opportunities.

I don't know where I've run into some rich person, and they're even paying daily wages. I hope I haven't been scammed.

Anyway, I don't think it's worth 500 yuan a day for these people.

However, if someone is willing to pay, then so be it.

Anyway, as long as he can't stay idle and doesn't go out and mess around, he'll let him do whatever he wants.

Uncle Er has been doing quite well lately. Although he's lost his pension, Liu Tiezhu is helping him earn money every day.

Starving to death is impossible; Liu Tiezhu will still give him a bite to eat.

At this moment, the Binhai City Museum was filled with solemnity. Members of the joint investigation team filed in, their steps carrying a hint of gravity, as if foreshadowing that the truth about to be revealed was not simple.

Under the spotlight, those precious artifacts that once silently told the story of history now seem to be waiting for justice to arrive.

However, the investigation results came as a shock, leaving people stunned and incredulous—it turned out that a temporary worker, out of a desire to show off, had taken the museum's treasures out of the museum's high walls without permission, exposing these priceless artifacts to the outside world.

Upon hearing this, Director Wang's face instantly turned ashen. His gaze swept between the members of the investigation team, his eyes filled with both anger and deep doubt.

He shook his head incredulously, as if trying to convince himself that it was just an absurd misunderstanding.

"A temporary worker? Does he have such audacity and such ability?" Director Wang's voice trembled slightly with excitement, his words filled with disdain and skepticism towards the investigation results.

In his view, such a conclusion is nothing short of a huge irony to the museum's security system and professional management.

The head of the investigation team tried to explain, but their voices echoed in the empty exhibition hall, sounding weak and powerless.

“We understand your feelings, but it is indeed the case. After extensive evidence gathering and in-depth investigation, we finally identified this temporary worker.” His words revealed a sense of helplessness. After all, the chain of evidence was closed and the suspect was clearly identified. Even they had no choice but to accept the result.

However, Director Wang was clearly not buying it; his gaze was like a sharp sword, piercing the hearts of the investigation team members.

"Do you think I'm a fool, or are you yourselves? I can't accept this conclusion! If the truth is really that simple, then I will personally go to Beijing to find the State Administration of Cultural Heritage! I want to see with my own eyes how many unknown secrets are behind this matter!" Director Wang's tone was firm, and every word was resounding, showing his determination to get to the bottom of this.

Faced with Director Wang's questions, the members of the investigation team remained silent. They knew that although this was their conclusion based on the existing evidence, it was clearly unconvincing in the eyes of a professional like Director Wang.

A subtle tension filled the air, as if even the surrounding artifacts were silently watching this contest of truth and trust.

"A temporary worker did it? You're kidding me!" Director Wang muttered to himself, his tone filled with anger and resentment at the truth being covered up.

He knew that this game was far from over, and the real challenge had only just begun.

The members of the investigation team could only silently bear this skepticism. They knew in their hearts that sometimes, revealing the truth is far more complicated and difficult than imagined.

The joint investigation team consists of people from Binhai and the provincial capital. How they investigate and who they find out about them are all accountable.

It's good that temporary work stations have been set up now.

Otherwise, you can't just say that the cultural relic fell out on its own, can you?

This time, he was caught by Director Wang himself; otherwise, there would have been some explanation.

How could Director Wang possibly believe this result?

However, he could also sense the hostility around him. If he continued to investigate, he would never be able to leave through this door.

Director Wang called Li Fu.

I want to go back!

We're going to the capital!

This place is utterly lawless.

I just finished making a phone call when I saw a figure approaching.

He was followed by a group of thugs; anyone who didn't know better would think they were gangsters causing trouble.

The members of the investigation team went over to greet each of them, clearly recognizing the visitors.

"Director Wang, hello there. What's wrong? Don't you trust the people in the joint investigation team?"

The newcomer held a wooden stick in his hand and glared menacingly at Director Wang.

Now that it has already happened, it's enough that someone has taken the blame. Why worry about so much?

Should we continue the investigation?

Who are you looking for?

Whom do you want to find to be satisfied?

Believe it or not, I'll make sure this kid doesn't get out of here.

He's just a curator, not someone with any real power. Why does he think he's so great?

This is Binhai, not some other place.

You should leave quietly and be satisfied; don't be too arrogant.

Can't you tell whose place is Binhai?
