Chapter 139: Getting Something for Nothing

Du Ruo looked at Old Master Chen's excited expression and laughed in her heart. Old Master Chen probably thought that Ji Yuan and Bai Minhua were in charge of the Ji family, and he hoped that Bai Minhua would make him obedient. Unfortunately, Old Master Chen's plan was likely to fail.

She glanced at her adopted brother standing next to her. Her brother was not a naive person and would definitely not care about the Chen family.

Chen Guochang said to Du Ruo with a smile: "I didn't expect that you are actually my niece. This is really an inseparable fate, a natural blood relationship. Come in and sit down. Uncle will give you red envelopes."

Du Ruo smiled and said nothing.

Ji Bailin and Chen Guochang met for the first time and had a good first impression. However, when he saw that Du Ruo's faint smile did not reach her eyes and that Yuan Tingchuan and Ling Yun were both looking forward to the show, he knew that something was wrong and swallowed the word "uncle" back.

He now realized that his sister was much more reliable than his mother, and it would be right to follow his sister.

Chen Guochang glanced at the brother and sister, his eyes flickered, and he sneered in his heart, they are just two young people, can their arms really twist thighs?

He took off his glasses, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and sat next to Ji Yuan and Bai Minhua.

The four of them continued their "friendly" entertainment, while a few people nearby watched leisurely with indifferent expressions. Only Ling Yun was very supportive. Not only was he moved to tears, he also led his two children to applaud and cheer non-stop. He was an absolute die-hard fan.

Chen Guochang's eyebrows twitched violently. He had known Ling Boss Ling Feng for many years. He was a man who did not play by the rules. He did not expect that his son was so unreliable. Why did he look so deserving of a beating?

That night, the Chen family invited Ji Yuan and Bai Minhua to stay at their home. Originally, they wanted to let Ji Bailin stay as well, but he firmly disagreed and insisted on staying at Du Ruo's place.

Du Ruo felt sad when looking at his overcrowded "little house". Is it still too small?

It is said that three women make a play, and three men also make a "palace fighting drama".

Yuan Tingchuan sat steadily on the fishing platform, watching Ling Yun and Ji Bailin practicing Tai Chi with each other.

Ji Bailin was very curious about the relationship between Ling Yun and his sister. Ling Yun also had some curiosity about Du Ruo, the younger brother of the older generation who had not appeared. The two of them chatted back and forth and had a great time.

Du Ruo pulled Yuan Tingchuan to sit on the sofa in the study and whispered to him about the Chen family.

"Why did they go to so much trouble to get Bai Minhua here?"

"Why else? Most likely it's because of the Chenghua Fish and Lotus Bowl."

“Is this not over yet??”

"I haven't found my lost things yet? What's the point of that?"

Du Ruo touched her little chin and put her other arm on Yuan Tingchuan's shoulder.

"So they go find me? This is definitely not my fault. Why would Chen Guochang bother me?"

"Because he's not a fool, he'll definitely guess that I have the thing. Isn't this a roundabout way to save the country?"

Du Ruo understood. Chen Guochang brought Bai Minhua here because he thought that since she was his biological mother, he would give her some face. He used this face to let Du Ruo take the bowl back from Yuan Tingchuan. But what was the use of taking it back?

Seeing that she hadn't figured it out yet, Yuan Tingchuan stroked her hair and said, "The task force is here to investigate the Chenghua Doucai Fish Lotus Bowl. They will definitely conduct further investigations. As a result, the antique has been identified as a genuine item. What do you think?"

Then this matter would become an oolong incident and there would definitely be no way to investigate further.

But, "Aren't there a few things missing too?"

"If the pot is broken, blame the pot; if the bowl is broken, blame the bowl. As long as we can prove that this incident is an oolong incident and make some adjustments, it will most likely be gone."

"This move of cutting off the source of the trouble is really well done by Chen Guochang!"

Seeing that Du Ruo finally understood, Yuan Tingchuan smiled mysteriously.

"Is that something you really want to give to them?"

"I will definitely return the things, but not to them. I will donate them directly to the museum." These are things from the National Museum, and I definitely cannot claim them as my own. It will cause trouble sooner or later.

"You want to donate it to a museum?? It's someone else's stuff, how can they not recognize it?"

"What do you mean by acquaintance? People have twin brothers. Isn't it normal for antiques to be similar?" Yuan Tingchuan's expression was very intriguing.

Du Ruo said thoughtfully, "That's right, you found the things and donated them to the museum again. Even if they knew what happened, they wouldn't tell you.

If you shout to the world that you found it, wouldn't that be indirect evidence that they lost a lot of things? This is different from the investigation team. Who knows what people outside will say?

It would be better to admit that you donated it. After all, the things have been returned and you can just cover yourself with a big quilt and be done with it."

Yuan Tingchuan said: "We must donate, but we can't do it now. We have to wait for a while."

Du Ruo understood: "Should we wait until the investigation team takes Chen Guochang in before making the donation?"

Yuan Tingchuan stretched out a finger and shook it: "No, wait for a while, and donate it after Chen Guochang sells the things."

Du Ruo's eyes widened: "If you donate those items, won't they know that the real ones are in your hands?"

"Just let them know, or let the buyer, Mr. Smith, know."

My goodness, Yuan Tingchuan is such a evil person.

Chen Guochang had just sold the items to Smith, and then Yuan Tingchuan donated some of them to the museum. Mr. Smith would definitely be suspicious, right?

If he had any doubts, he would ask someone to investigate. After the investigation, he would find out that all the products he bought were fakes. With so many fakes, wouldn't he have to fight with Chen Guochang? ?

By then, Chen Guochang would be attacked from both sides, which would be very dangerous.

Yuan Shao never bothered to mingle with them, and even got a good reputation for making donations. He donated so many antiques at once, the government would definitely not treat him unfairly. Maybe all policies would be tilted in his favor, and money would just roll in, right?

The important thing is that Mr. Yuan didn’t spend a penny on these things. He just got something for nothing.

Du Ruo looked at Boss Yuan with admiration. She had no choice but to accept it. It seemed that she still had a lot to learn.

However...

"Based on my understanding of Han Ming, at this juncture, he must have a backup plan, especially after we get rid of the people. Maybe Han Ming will take advantage of the situation. If he also secretly sells the things, it will be even more fun."

This can be regarded as a case of shooting rabbits with straw, and it also tricked Han Ming.

Du Ruo knew Han Ming better. At this moment, Han Ming was reporting to Qu's father the news that Master Zheng and his group had escaped.

"By the time I found out, they had already run away. I went to the warehouse to check and found that one box of antiques was missing, but the rest were still there. This was a blessing in disguise."
