What Mr. Zhong cherishes most are always those rare antique treasures.

Of course, if Grandpa Zhong weren't that kind of person, Hu Yuan wouldn't have been able to get to know him so easily back then.

Upon hearing that Ye Guanghou had health problems, Hu Yuan immediately called him after hanging up the phone to find out what was going on.

Strangely, the person who answered the phone was not Ye Guanghou, but a middle-aged man who claimed to be the old man's assistant.

Back in Guanghai City, Hu Yuan had dealt with Ye Guanghou more than once, but he had never seen him with any assistant.

Moreover, Ye Guanghou's health seemed fine, so how could he suddenly fall ill in less than a year?

There must be something wrong here, but Hu Yuan naturally couldn't figure out exactly what happened right away.

But Hu Yuan could guess that Ye Tian was behind it all.

Then Hu Yuan contacted Wu Shuxin and learned some useful information from her.

It turns out that a month ago, Ye Tian found a guy who claimed to be able to tell fortunes from somewhere, and from then on, things changed drastically.

First, he stopped harassing her, and then he made many contributions to the Ye family's business. Old Master Ye thought he had really reformed, so he entrusted him with managing many important businesses.

In less than a month, Ye Tian had almost taken control of the entire Ye family business.

It was from this time that Ye Laozi's health deteriorated, and he became bedridden, reportedly in a coma and delirious.

A story like this can lead to two versions of the story.

One was that Old Master Ye suddenly fell seriously ill, and the playboy Ye Tian suddenly turned over a new leaf and shouldered all the pressure.

Another one is that Ye Tian framed Old Master Ye in order to obtain the Ye family's assets.

Of course, Hu Yuan preferred to believe the second possibility.

Furthermore, Ye Guanghou's illness occurred after Ye Tian recovered, not before.

So it's definitely not that this guy had a change of heart; it's that his conscience has been completely extinguished.

However, Hu Yuan had heard before that the Ye family seemed to have another young master, who was older than Ye Tian and was the true heir of the Ye family.

Strangely, why didn't Professor Zhong and Wu Shuxin mention this person on the phone?

Does he have absolutely no reaction to such a major incident that happened to the Ye family?

Although these things are not directly related to Hu Yuan, he cannot deal with Xiao Qingyue without figuring them out.

This woman is truly impervious to both soft and hard tactics. Hu Yuan has tried every method he could think of, and now the only way is to target her boss, Ye Tian.

Just as Hu Yuan was having a headache, Old Zhong called again, excitedly telling him that a grand antique exchange meeting was about to be held in Liucheng, and asking if he wanted to attend.

It is said that this antique exchange was proposed by a bigwig in Kyoto, and it is a rare and grand event.

The reason the location is so far away in Liucheng is that a piece of Tang tri-color pottery was unearthed there.

Tang tri-color pottery is a national first-class cultural relic, extremely rare, and each piece is unique. Once unearthed, it is enough to shake the entire antique world.

Hu Yuan simply couldn't recall any record of Tang tri-color pottery being unearthed this year, nor had he ever heard of any Tang tri-color pottery being unearthed in Liucheng.

Hu Yuan in his previous life also loved antiques and naturally knew something about Tang tri-color pottery, which is why he remembered these things.

In other words, this so-called Tang tri-color pottery unearthed this time is undoubtedly a fake.

Hu Yuan lost interest in this fake Tang tri-colored pottery, but he wouldn't lose interest in other antiques.

Since it's a grand antique exchange, there are bound to be many treasures on display.

Since things have reached a stalemate in Xiaotun Street anyway, and Hu Yuan doesn't have any other important matters to resolve, he might as well go and take a look.

If you're lucky enough to snag a bargain, wouldn't that be a considerable sum of money?

Most importantly, Liucheng is in a neighboring province, so Hu Yuan can take the opportunity to inspect the business there.

Interestingly, Hu Yuan had just arrived in Liucheng and hadn't even had a chance to settle in or meet Elder Zhong when he ran into an acquaintance.

"As expected, President Hu has come to Liucheng. It seems I was right."

Hailan Mingxue leaned against a blue sports car and smiled slightly.

"Did you wait for me here on purpose?"

Hu Yuan raised an eyebrow; he really didn't know how to describe this woman.

It's like a hundred-yuan bill that's fallen on the ground; you want it, but you're unwilling to bend down to get it.

"Of course, I know that Mr. Hu is also knowledgeable about antique appraisal and has made a lot of money from collecting antiques. So I guessed that you would definitely come to this grand antique exchange meeting."

Hailan Mingxue opened the car door and gestured for Hu Yuan to get in.

Hu Yuan nodded but didn't say anything; he simply got into the car.

“I’ve already investigated. The person causing you trouble is a woman named Xiao Qingyue, and her boss is Ye Tian, ​​who has a grudge against you, so he’s taking revenge on you.”

The car started, and Hailan Mingxue continued to speak, but what she said really took Hu Yuan by surprise.

It wasn't surprising that she was able to find these things, but rather that she would take the initiative to look them up and then tell me so easily.

Now that you've told me all this, do you think I'll still ask you to come back?

Hu Yuan knew that this woman's goal was still to cooperate with him and join his company.

"I'm telling you this because I know you can easily find out these things, but there are some things that you can't find out so easily."

Hailan Mingxue stopped speaking here and shut her mouth tightly, as if waiting for Hu Yuan to ask her a question.

Where are you taking me?

However, Hu Yuan did not press the matter further, nor did he show the slightest interest. Instead, he asked an unrelated question.

"You'll know when you get there."

Hailan Mingxue remained silent, and the atmosphere in the car froze.

Soon, the car stopped in front of a hotel, and Hu Yuan, led by Hai Lanmingxue, entered the hotel.

This woman had already booked Hu Yuan's room, and the two rooms were even next to each other.

“I’m always in the room. Just come and knock on the door whenever you’ve figured it out.”

Hailan Mingxue handed the room key to Hu Yuan and went into her room without looking back.

Hu Yuan smiled helplessly; this woman's actions were simply too baffling.

But at least for Hu Yuan, it has no impact on what he is going to do next.

It's impossible for her to know anything about antique appraisal, right? That just doesn't make sense.
