Chapter 156 She is doing business with the ancients
Chen Jinyue, “???”
She slammed on the brakes and stopped the car at the traffic light.
"What did you say?!"
"Destroyed it." Zhou Yichuan grabbed the roof railing to steady himself, then turned to look at her. "Why? Want to kill and silence her?"
“…”
The light confirmation made Chen Jinyue feel like being struck by lightning for a moment.
Destroyed?
Why would he destroy it for no reason?
He guessed... no, he should have confirmed something, right?
Of course Zhou Yichuan did. He took detailed photos of the things in the tomb and took them back to compare with the military boots in his hand.
The design and details determine the similarity of 70 to 80 percent.
Then when I asked about the things Chen Jinyue bought, I found out that there was wine and sugar, so it was almost confirmed.
His weird guess was true—
She is doing business with the ancients!
This truth was too shocking, and he was hesitant to believe it until the other party asked him to dinner, looking more and more anxious.
She must have suddenly remembered that he had another sample, right?
Fortunately, he originally got the pair of military boots simply out of interest, so he kept them at home and didn't take them to his second brother to sell.
In other words, he is the only one who still has combat boots...
Their eyes met.
A shocking inquiry.
A calm and composed person.
There was an unspoken answer between the two of them.
It took Chen Jinyue a long time to suppress the shock in his heart. He forced himself to say "oh" calmly and continued to start the car.
We were silent all the way. When we got home, Aunt Tang had already prepared a sumptuous table of food.
The eldest young master was slightly dissatisfied, "Didn't you say I could order food?"
Chen Jinyue asked back, "Didn't you ask me to pick you up?"
She was certain that Wan Kui revealed the itinerary to her so that she could pick him up.
She wanted to see what he was going to do...
Zhou Yichuan looked up at her with a wary and inquiring look, his eyebrows slightly raised, and said nothing more, just sat down to eat.
The table was quiet.
As usual, Zhou Yichuan raised his glass to congratulate her on her new home.
Chen Jinyue thanked him absentmindedly.
After dinner, Chen Jinyue took him to visit the layout of the second floor. Zhou Yichuan didn’t know much about antiques, he only knew that the furnishings in the collection room looked very beautiful.
"I thought there would be something eye-catching." He said casually.
"Yes, but how can I show it to others?" Chen Jinyue described calmly.
Since we brought him here for a tour, the things that cannot be seen must have been put away long ago.
Zhou Yichuan heard this and glared at her, "I reluctantly destroyed my personal belongings and helped you find a way to erase your purchase records. I voluntarily surrendered, but it was just someone else?"
Chen Jinyue was slightly stunned. "You left mysteriously, is this what you did?"
"Not entirely. I mainly want to confirm it." Zhou Yichuan brought up the topic again. "But given the current situation, covering it up might be like trying to cover up one's own fault..."
"How did you confirm it? Just because of those military boots?" Having said that, Chen Jinyue went to close the door.
"The military boots are secondary. The main issue is your abnormal reaction that day."
“???”
Chen Jinyue reflected on her reaction at that time.
Zhou Yichuan added, “There are also previous mysterious customers, goods that disappeared out of thin air, and large quantities of antiques.”
Chen Jinyue was silent for a few seconds, then said seriously, "We're still too close!"
However, she had anticipated the current outcome.
It's not that hard to accept.
Zhou Yichuan helped her clean up the mess. He knew too many of her secrets, and it was only a matter of time before they were exposed to him.
But she didn't expect it to happen so soon...
Zhou Yichuan laughed. Seeing that she had finally relaxed a little, he asked his own question, "So, your mysterious client is the general in the tomb?"
Chen Jinyue didn't answer but asked, "Why do you ask that?"
"You heard the owner of this general's tomb had a big reaction." He paused, "If it wasn't this general, then it was the unpopular prince he supported."
Chen Jinyue, “…”
She understood the comments from the outside world. No one in the Zhou family was simple.
Especially this young master who seems to be a dandy and has a bad reputation.
A made-up psychological test, and he remembers it so clearly?
She didn't answer, but walked to the innermost part, took down a box from the antique display cabinet, opened the box, and inside was an exquisite comb.
"This was given to me by General Xiao. When I was being slandered by the Chen family and abused by the entire internet, he said that he rashly claimed to be an elder and helped me get through it smoothly."
"This was given to me by General Xiao."
Chen Jinyue took out another leather bag filled with wine. "He loves to drink. He was injured on the battlefield and took medicine. He couldn't drink at the celebration party, and he was depressed all night..."
Zhou Yichuan listened quietly, feeling the distant ancients become alive, and secretly sorting out the time relationship between the characters.
It turns out that the deal had already been made before public opinion?
No wonder she was willing to take over the factory, she only wanted antiques, and she was not worried about her reputation when confronting the Chen family head-on.
But after listening to it, he felt confused again.
A drunkard.
A sweet tooth.
But the burial objects in the tomb contain both.
"Then who owns that general's tomb?" he asked doubtfully.
Chen Jinyue shook his head, "I don't know either."
After returning from the General's Tomb Ruins, she suppressed many complicated emotions in her heart.
Shocked, confused, sad.
"On the one hand, I feel that they are all vivid, three-dimensional characters who should not be buried in the long river of history without a trace. On the other hand, I am worried that more and more traces will be revealed, exposing my own secrets..."
When Zhou Yichuan heard this, he suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Have you ever thought that your worries are unnecessary?"
Chen Jinyue, “???”
"I just said that, judging by the current situation, my hiding your purchase records is most likely just a cover-up."
"Why? What's the situation?"
Just now, Chen Jinyue was full of doubts, wondering how he guessed that she was doing business with the ancients.
I didn't pay any attention to what he wanted to say next.
Zhou Yichuan explained, "The day after I returned, the old man also returned. They held several meetings. During that time, he also took away several cultural relics from the museum. It seemed that he was studying and comparing something."
"They took those suspected plastic and glass bottles to an analytical testing center, probably to determine their composition."
"Once we can confirm the composition and restore the general appearance, it's actually not difficult to speculate..."
Simply put, she may have been exposed, so there is no point in worrying.
Chen Jinyue felt like his mood today was like riding a roller coaster.
It's so exciting.
But he quickly realized, "So, helping me deal with the purchase traces has two meanings! If they're not discovered, it's fine, then it's a perfect aftermath! But if they're discovered, it's actually a statement of my attitude!"
Although it is like stealing a bell while covering one's ears, it also shows the attitude of not wanting to reveal the secret.
Anyway, her superiors had been very tolerant of her before, and as long as it was not illegal, they would condone it to a certain extent.
Even if we know the secret now, there is nothing to pursue.
The more Chen Jin thought about it, the more he felt it made sense—
"Yes, after all, in the eyes of the outside world, you are mine, so this speculation is reasonable!"
“…”
Zhou Yichuan coughed lightly, his expression somewhat unnatural. "Mind your wording."
