Chapter 70: Unpredictable Thoughts
Yuan Tingchuan saw Du Ruo's depression and whispered to her, "If you like anything, tell me and I'll give it to you."
Du Ruo glared at him and said, "You must be kidding. This is not his thing. What do you mean by giving it to me?"
Yuan Tingchuan said to Village Chief Yang: "I will tell you the truth, this is indeed an antique, but I don't know its value.
How about this, I will set up a table at your house in a while, and those who are willing to sell can bring it over. If you think the price is low and you don’t want to sell it, you can take it back, and I won’t force you. ”
After hearing what he said, Village Chief Yang understood that this thing was worth some money, but not too much, and people didn't take it seriously, so it was up to you to sell it or not.
It is completely different if this thing is in the hands of the big boss and in your own hands. The big boss can make more money out of it, but you have no way to do that, so you have to sell it quickly.
Village Chief Yang said, "Don't worry, Mr. Yuan. I will go and inform them and ask them to go home and look for it."
Yuan Tingchuan said nonchalantly, "Whatever, we're leaving tonight, if you want to send it, bring it here, otherwise, just keep it for yourself."
Village Chief Yang listened and nodded repeatedly, then turned around and ran out quickly.
Du Ruo looked at him speechlessly. This boss was too cruel. Was he forcing people to sell themselves?
Yuan Tingchuan glanced at her and said, "What's that expression on your face? Business is business, this is business, not charity. Besides, have you forgotten? If you didn't give the money yesterday, would they return your son to you?"
Du Ruo pursed her lips and said nothing. Anyway, this boss had a black heart, so she had to be careful.
She asked curiously, "If we were to negotiate a business deal, would you let me take advantage of you?"
Yuan Tingchuan was silent for a while, then said seriously: "If it is a normal cooperation between the two companies, no.
If you ask me for something, I will give it to you if I have it.”
Du Ruo laughed. This man...
I don't know what Village Chief Yang said, but after a while a group of people came in. Some were carrying jars, some were carrying bronze bowls, and a few were carrying candlesticks, most of which were bronze utensils.
Since there was no expert in this field around him, Yuan Tingchuan had to roll up his sleeves and do the battle himself.
Du Ruo looked at Yuan Tingchuan sitting among the villagers. It was a pity that he didn't bring a camera with him. The painting style was so unique and it was a pity that he couldn't take a photo to commemorate the scene.
The Yuan family's bodyguards were very nervous and kept trying to maintain order. With so many people, there were no rules. If a stampede occurred, the consequences would be disastrous.
Du Ruo found Village Chief Yang and said, "This is not a solution. As the saying goes, more haste makes waste. This mess will actually make things slower. It would be better to organize it and have everyone line up so that things can go faster."
Village Chief Yang said in embarrassment: "Oh, Comrade Du, Mr. Yuan has already said that we will leave tonight, and everyone is worried that we will be late. We finally got some money, and everyone is anxious. How can I tell everyone this?"
Du Ruo: "I'll talk to Mr. Yuan about this. What do you think about us staying here for one more day?"
That’s fine, but will this lesbian’s words really work?
Du Ruo smiled and said loudly, "Everyone line up, don't worry, we won't leave tonight, we'll leave tomorrow, line up, don't crowd."
Yuan Tingchuan heard her words and gestured to the bodyguard behind him.
While maintaining order, the bodyguard shouted: "If you don't leave tonight, we will continue to collect tomorrow. Don't crowd, line up."
When some people heard that they would not leave today but would collect them tomorrow, they quietly withdrew and planned to go to their relatives' homes to tell them that villagers from several nearby villages had picked up these bottles and jars in the past, and some people had been interested in them, but they certainly had not sold them.
Now that someone finally wants it, ten or twenty yuan is not a small amount. Working in the fields for a year, I only earn 100 or 200 yuan, and I can exchange it for 20 or 30 yuan in one go. Who wouldn't be jealous?
Du Ruo was jealous. Yuan Tingchuan only gave a hundred yuan for the largest bronze ware, which made the family very happy and grateful. Du Ruo was speechless.
The bodyguard packed the priced bronze wares into boxes one by one, planning to find a car to take them away.
As the night deepened, Du Ruo stared at the mountains in the distance in a trance. Yuan Tingchuan stood side by side with her and said softly, "I feel that I have been particularly lucky since I met you. Every time I have been in trouble, I have been able to turn good luck into good luck."
Du Ruo said meaningfully: "Is that so?"
Yuan Tingchuan raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice: "Of course."
The two people looked at each other in the night, and it was difficult to see the color in each other's eyes in the dim light.
Du Ruo looked at the silhouette of the man hidden in the night. He was handsome and tall like a mountain. She sighed in her heart and felt amused at the heartbeat she had felt in the dark at some point before.
The flowers are so beautiful that they are charming and seductive. Who says that only beautiful women can lead a country astray? This male beauty is also a trap that can tempt a city and make people unable to guard against it.
It's a pity that the man's heart is as hard as iron, and he only has the country in his heart...
The laughter of two children came from the house. The cigarette between Yuan Tingchuan's fingers was clearly extinguished in the night, just like this man's thoughts, hard to understand.
The next day, many people came one after another. This time there were quite a few small items. Du Ruo also collected some of them. In the afternoon, Yuan Tingchuan said he would not accept any more.
The things were transported away first, and several people returned by car. Du Ruo wrote a letter and sent it out, half for the ancient tomb and half for the women and children in the village who were bought. As for the subsequent processing, that was the business of the relevant departments.
The two children were exhausted from the past few days. Du Ruo and Yuan Tingchuan each held one child, and the children slept soundly. They did not return to Linshan City until the next day.
As soon as she entered the house, Yu Min hugged her two children and cried inconsolably. She had been taking care of the two children over the past few days and had developed a close relationship with them. When she heard that the children were lost, she cried for several days.
Yu Min took her two children to clean up.
Du Ruo asked Yuan Tingchuan: "What's going on over there?"
Yuan Tingchuan sat on the sofa, tapping the armrest carelessly: "Liu Qing has been caught, but he did not admit that he had any relationship with the Qu family, nor did he admit that he had any grudges with us. He just said that he wanted to kidnap and extort some money. He did confess that Han Luo was his accomplice."
Du Ruo looked into the man's eyes and asked, "Is that it?"
Yuan Tingchuan had a blank expression on his face: "Hunting requires patience. It is better to strike the golden drum once than to strike the wooden bell three thousand times."
Du Ruo understood that the boss meant to kill with one strike, but now was not the right time.
The Qu Group has considerable investments in the mainland and will not be convicted easily.
Du Ruo thought of the Han family. The third brother Han was smart but his intelligence made him lose face. For such a small amount of money, he got himself into trouble. He will not be able to get out for several years. He deserved it.
It’s Qu Xin, this crazy woman. She must find a way to kill her, otherwise she won’t be at ease when her son is away from home.
