Chapter 23: The Glory of Picking Up a Bargain

The other lawyer, Jin, was obviously well aware of Robert Terry's position and style of doing things in the industry. Therefore, after negotiating with his client, Butler John, for a long time, Lawyer Jin apologized to Yang Jing on behalf of his client under the reluctant gaze of Butler John. Then Lawyer Jin hurriedly pulled Butler John out of the police station.

"Let's go, there is nothing for us to do here." After Yang Jing and Guo Xiaoxiang waited in the police station for a while, Terry went into the sheriff's office and negotiated with Holmes for a while. Then he walked out of the sheriff's office and greeted Yang Jing easily.

After walking out of the police station, Yang Jing said, "Mr. Terry, thank you so much this time."

Terry smiled and waved his hand and said, "This is what I should do. Besides, you are Professor Johnson's students, so I should come forward to solve this problem for you."

The fat man asked curiously, "Mr. Terry, is this matter resolved? The Vardy family will no longer hold us responsible?"

"What responsibility do you have?" Terry asked. "This matter has nothing to do with you. Obviously, the three paintings in Mr. Yang's hand made the people of the Vardi family jealous. Yes, those three paintings should indeed belong to the same batch of works as those treasured by the Vardi family. Unfortunately, no one can prove that you took these three paintings out of the Vardi Castle, so they can only suspect, but cannot hold you responsible."

After a pause, Terry continued to explain: "This kind of thing that relies only on suspicion without any evidence is untenable in itself. Moreover, the other party has no confidence to be tough with us, so in the confrontation just now, the other party admitted defeat and took the initiative to withdraw the charges against you."

"In other words, we just settled the matter privately?" Yang Jing asked.

Terry smiled and nodded, saying, "Right. To use your Chinese words, this is a private settlement. The other party has no evidence to accuse you, and we don't want to make things worse. So when they saw that there was no chance of getting the three paintings back, they decisively admitted defeat. In order to reduce unnecessary trouble, we will not sue them for defamation. A private settlement is actually the best outcome for this matter."

Terry opened his car door, looked at his watch, and then said to Guo Xiaoxiang with a smile, "Chris, my time this time is two hours and twenty minutes. I won't charge you for the return time. The total fee is 1,500 pounds. Please transfer it to my account later. Well, we have met this time. If you need me in the future, just call me. I will still serve you at this price. After all, you are Professor Wilson's students."

The fat man nodded and said with a smile: "Mr. Terry, don't worry, I will transfer the money to you after I return. Thank you so much this time."

Terry closed the car door, fastened his seat belt, waved his hand, and drove away.

Yang Jing looked at the gradually disappearing car and shook his head helplessly.

The fat man smiled and said, "What's wrong? Are you depressed because you were invited to the police station to drink coffee?"

Yang Jing was stunned for a moment, glanced at the fat man and said, "I'm just a little emotional. After all, those three paintings are indeed..."

"Hush! My dear ancestors, don't tell me you want to return those three paintings!"

Yang Jing rolled his eyes at the fat man and said, "How is that possible? Even if I got kicked in the head by a donkey, I would not return those three paintings. I found them at a bargain price, why should I return them? The people of the Vardi family are blind, so they can't blame me for buying those three paintings from them. In our country, this is called finding a bargain, don't you know? It's something many people dream of!"

Hearing what Yang Jing said, the fat man let out a long sigh and said, "I thought you didn't want those three paintings anymore?"

Yang Jing smiled and said, "Let's go. I guess if we sell paintings again this time, no one will dare to say anything."

In fact, not only in the UK, but also in other developed countries, the requirements for antiques and cultural relics are quite strict.

Take the three paintings that Yang Jing found this time. As long as the Vardi family can prove that these three paintings were indeed brought out of the Vardi Castle by Yang Jing and his companions, they can ask Yang Jing to return the three paintings on the grounds of "illegal acquisition". If Yang Jing refuses, the Vardi family will definitely sue Yang Jing.

After all, when Yang Jing and Guo Xiaoxiang were cleaning up the garbage in the Vardi family, they had signed a relevant agreement with the Vardi family. Not to mention the three paintings, even if they were things of slightly higher value, they could not take them out of the castle without permission if Butler John did not allow it.

These three paintings are very valuable and are not allowed to be taken out of the castle according to the agreement. If Yang Jing had not made various preparations based on his intuition before announcing these three paintings, these three paintings might have been taken back by the Valdi family.

But now all these are nothing to Yang Jing. A few days ago, he followed his intuition and went to the Greenwich Handicraft Market, where he bought some sketches. He used a method of substitution and successfully brought the three sketches into the sketches he bought, which can well explain the origin of these three paintings.

Yang Jing spent three hundred pounds to buy a painting on the market. He got a bargain. British law would not interfere. After all, the purchase of these things was consensual, and a purchase agreement was signed, so no one could say anything else.

But once the Vardi family can prove that these three paintings were really taken out of their family castle, then Yang Jing will definitely not be able to keep these three paintings, and he may even be sued and go to jail.

From a legal perspective, his behavior can be classified as "theft", and the amount was extremely huge.

Now that the Vardi family cannot provide evidence to prove that these three paintings were indeed taken out of their castle by Yang Jing, then the origins of these three paintings are completely clear.

Yang Jing has no psychological burden about this. He has been wandering around the antique and cultural relics market in China with his grandfather since he was a child, and the idea of ​​"finding a bargain is glorious" has been deeply imprinted in Yang Jing's bones!
