Chapter 369: Estrangement



Therefore, the more this is the case, the more clever it is. Killing people without shedding blood, using Lin Han completely as a knife.

Regardless of whether Lin Han answers or not, they will push Lin Han into this trap. The trap has already been set.

"If you bet like this, you will definitely be sure to beat me?"

Lin Han asked.

"Let's not talk about whether I can beat Master Lin first, let's just say, Master Lin, do you dare to bet with me on this one?"

"If Master Lin doesn't dare to gamble, then it seems that Master Lin's reputation as a rising star in the treasure appraisal world is probably undeserved."

"I thought Master Lin's abilities were outstanding, but it seems that he is just so-so."

Master Bai asked.

"Lin Han! This is not within the rules."

"There's no need to agree to them. I'm here, so you don't have to be afraid. Just follow your heart and that's enough."

Seeing this, Master Zhou stood in front of Lin Han and said.

Not only was he afraid that Lin Han would be provoked into acting on impulse and reveal the entire gambling game without regard for the consequences.

They were even more afraid that Lin Han would be instigated by them, which would disrupt his state of mind and lead to his own misjudgment, resulting in repeated failures, which would also delay Lin Han's future in the treasure appraisal industry.

It’s not that Master Zhou doesn’t believe in Lin Han’s ability, but the three treasure appraisers around Master Bai are not simple characters. If it were any one of them, perhaps he would dare to let Lin Han give it a try.

However, the risk of three treasure appraisers working together to give advice to Mr. Bai is quite high.

If he acts on impulse, he will most likely be defeated miserably. Besides, Lin Han is just a young man in his twenties or thirties. In terms of experience and means, he cannot compare with these veterans who have lived for decades.

Moreover, as soon as they said this, they knew that Lin Han’s intentions were not simple, and they would definitely not let Lin Han off so easily.

If it is just an exchange and discussion of technical skills, they can wait until the treasure appraisal competition is over before conducting their professional exchanges.

And what is happening now is that an additional gambling contest has been started during the treasure appraisal competition. Regardless of whether he wins or loses, Lin Han's state of mind will inevitably be affected.

If you win, your confidence will increase greatly, which is naturally a good thing.

But if he loses, let alone how serious the consequences of this misjudgment will be, even if there is still room for recovery, in the subsequent competitions, Lin Han's mood will inevitably be affected by their words.

What's more, in such an important occasion, if he loses, he will lose miserably. In the future, anyone can use this matter to poke Lin Han in the spine.

Agreeing to this bet would do Lin Han a lot of harm and no benefit.

"Don't worry yet."

Lin Han comforted Mr. Zhou and said, "If I agree to this bet, what benefits can I get?"

"It seems that there is no benefit for me to simply win this game, right?"

"Why would I do something that wastes my time and energy? Could it be that I am doing this just to fulfill your bet?"

"I, Lin Han, am not stupid. If there is no benefit at all, it's like getting something for nothing. I won't do this."

"Oh? Then Master Lin, what kind of bet do you want?"

Master Bai asked after careful consideration.

"Whether you win or lose the bet, in the end this blue and white grape bowl will fall into the hands of the two gentlemen."

"We certainly can't bet on this little bowl."

"However, I think the jade on Master Bai's neck is nice."

"If I win, Master Bai will give me the jade on his neck, how about that?"

Lin Han stared at the jade chain on Master Bai's neck for a while and then said.

"this……"

"This jade pendant is an heirloom from my ancestors. If I use this jade as a bet, wouldn't that be a blasphemy to my ancestors?"

"Master Lin, how about changing the bet? I have a lot of jade at home for you to choose from."

Master Bai hesitated for a moment and then declined.

"No, I just want the jade on your neck, Master Bai. If you are willing, let's bet."

"If you don't want to, then there's no need for me to do something thankless."

"You said so, Master Luo."

Lin Han turned and asked Master Luo.

"Master Lin's words do make sense."

Master Luo smiled and replied.

Master Bai couldn't help but notice the tit-for-tat situation. He was also an experienced man and naturally knew what Lin Han was trying to achieve.

Instead of asking for his opinion, he asked Master Luo, which simply meant that he didn't want to give him any chance to refuse.

Master Luo is highly respected and is a national-level treasure appraiser. His status in the industry is naturally much more honorable than that of Master Bai.

When Master Bai meets Master Luo, he has to ask how he is, and Lin Han's actions this time are undoubtedly an attempt to use Master Luo's identity to put pressure on Master Bai.

The bet was naturally something that had been discussed by Mr. Bai, Master Luo and the other three. It was definitely not something that was done on a whim. They wanted to play a prank on Lin Han and make him lose confidence.

The reason they dared to do this was because they had Master Luo as a rock of support, which gave them some confidence of victory.

Naturally, Master Luo became the leader of their small team. All matters, big or small, would probably be finalized by Lin Han. Even Mr. Bai was just a provider of advice.

When Master Lin asks Master Luo a question, he is directly handing the question over to Master Luo to decide. Once Master Luo has an answer in his mind, others can only obey.

"Then, what if you lose the bet, Master Lin?"

Master Bai asked.

"I'm sure you masters have heard of my business in Siping City."

"I have a lot of priceless things inside. If I lose, the store will be handed over to you guys to deal with."

Master Lin said confidently.

"Are you serious?"

Master Luo asked.

Before the treasure appraisal and auction started, they had already checked all the information about Lin Han. With Mr. Bai around, all of Lin Han's actions were clearly monitored.

They had long heard of the industries in Siping City and had long been envious of those priceless treasures.

But after all, those were things that Lin Han had collected with his own strength. If he tried to rob them openly, wouldn't that be no different from a thief or robber?

After all, the treasures that Lin Han received were not only priceless, but also had profound meanings behind them. To them, such treasures were more tempting than those that were only expensive.

"really."

Lin Han nodded.
