Chapter 977: Lure the Snake Out of Its Hole



"I'm sorry, the things we want to buy are a little special. They have to be specific items."

They pay such a high price not because they really want to buy some great antiques and treasures to display at home, but to lure out the thief.

Mr. Yuri’s reaction just now made Haley and Lin Han very satisfied.

If a rich man like him is tempted and wants to sell things to them, then what will those who are eager to get rid of them and make money think?

Can they bear to give up 50% of the profit of the goods they have?

They know better than anyone that if they miss this opportunity, they will never get it again.

"Oh? You actually have to specify it? It seems that the rumors are true. Your things really were stolen, right?"

Mr. Yuri was not too surprised when he heard what Haley said. Instead, he combined it with the information he had heard before and deduced the truth.

This made Hailey frown and asked solemnly:

"Where did you get this gossip?"

"Nothing, I just heard people on the street talking about it when I went out. The fact that you suddenly stopped the game has caused a lot of controversy, and there are many different versions of the story."

"In short, not many people believe that the game was canceled because of an old man falling ill. Based on your current situation, I am more certain that your things were stolen, which caused you to interrupt the game."

Mr. Yuri is not stupid, but very smart, otherwise he would not have been able to stay in this industry for so many years.

So even the slightest clue was enough for him to see the truth of the matter.

"Please keep this matter a secret!" Seeing that he had guessed the truth of the matter, Haley no longer concealed it, but asked him respectfully to keep it a secret.

After all, if this matter were to get out, then the organizers would lose all their face, and even the World Treasure Appraisal Competition would become a laughing stock.

"Don't worry, I won't spread rumors. After all, I'm a businessman, and telling others won't do any good to the business."

Mr. Yuri shrugged, patted his chest, and assured in a serious manner.

"In short, your idea is to let me buy the stolen items at a high price to attract the thieves, right?"

"Yes? This is the only solution we have right now!" Haley nodded helplessly.

If this was not the only feasible method, she would not risk her life to go to such a place to discuss business.

"Okay, I can promise you that, and I will release the news of purchasing your things according to your request.

When they agree with me on where to trade, I will remind you in advance, but I want a reward of 50 million."

Mr. Yuri was also a straightforward person. He immediately agreed to their request, and he also knew what to do, which saved Lin Han and Haley the time of discussing with him.

But his offer was unbelievable.

"A reward of 50 million? Are you serious?"

Haley looked at Mr. Yuri in front of her with some disbelief as he was chatting and laughing and casually offered 50 million.

Indeed, the price was too high for her, no, for anyone. A reward of 50 million was really a difficult decision to make.

"Considering your current situation, I think 50 million is a very reasonable price. If you can't get those things back, no amount of money will be able to restore your reputation, right?"

Mr. Yuri spread his hands and looked at Lin Han and Haley with great curiosity and asked.

He understood their dilemma better than Lin Han and Haley.

On the one hand they have to continue the game, and on the other hand they have to recover the stolen items.

The difficulty is quite high!

If 50 million can accomplish these two things, it is indeed very affordable.

And there is a saying that goes, anything that can be bought with money is cheap!

Hailey looked at Lin Han, seeking his opinion, "What do you think?"

Lin Han pursed his lips. He didn't want to say anything. After all, this was the money raised by her, Xu Wen and Dao Changqing. It had nothing to do with him. He had no right to speak or decide where the money went.

But Haley is now clueless and wavering. It is obvious that she really needs someone to give her a positive answer so that she can be firm in her ideas. And he is the only person who can help her here.

So Lin Han thought about it and said, "I think it's okay."

In fact, Lin Han felt that there was nothing to consider, because they had no choice. As long as they still wanted to get the stolen things back, they had to cooperate with Mr. Yuri.

And cooperating with him means paying him 50 million.

"Very good! Then give me 50 million!"

"Give it to you now?" Haley was a little confused after hearing what Mr. Yuri said.

She thought that they would pay him when the time came. After all, he hadn't done it yet. If they gave him the money like this, what if he couldn't do it by then?

"Of course, we always collect money first and then do the work. After all, we don't trust others. If you don't trust us, there is no need to cooperate with us."

Mr. Yuri has made his point very clear.

If you don't believe what he says, I don't recommend you to cooperate.

Of course, they don't trust a stranger they just met, and he is in this line of work, so who knows if he will keep his word?

But again, they had no choice but to follow his request.

"Okay, I promise. I'll give you the money!"

Haley finally compromised and transferred 50 million to Mr. Yuri.

Then they discussed their future plans at the dining table.

The plan was for Mr. Yuri to spread the news that he was going to buy some specifically named items at a high price, and emphasized that the purchase would be completed in three days.

Then all they have to do is wait for others to come to Mr. Yuri, and then Mr. Yuri will tell them that he wants to buy more things, and then wait for those people to take out the stolen things and catch them all in one fell swoop!

"If you have no objection, then follow this plan. You guys can go back and wait for my news!"

Mr. Yuri sought confirmation from Lin Han and Haley.

Haley nodded slightly. She had no objection to this plan. After all, this was the best way and she couldn't think of a better one.

"Okay then? I'll go get ready first!"

Mr. Yuri nodded, got up and left, and Lin Han and Haley also left the hotel and returned to the hospital.

They did hear more bad news along the way.

Just as Mr. Yuri said, more people are now suspecting that the reason for the interruption of the game is not just as simple as Dao Changqing's sudden fall.
