"Okay, wait a moment, sir."
The waiter smiled and nodded, then turned and walked inside.
"Brother Chen, what is this?"
Su Xiaomeng looked at the bracelet in Xiao Chen's hand and asked curiously.
"A bracelet."
"Where did it come from?"
"If I say I found it, would you believe me?"
"Tsk, why don't you just say it fell from the sky and hit you on the head?" Su Xiaomeng rolled her eyes and stretched out her hand: "Let me have a look."
"Haha, it's hard enough to get pie in the sky, and you're still expecting a valuable bracelet to fall from the sky?" Xiao Chen smiled and handed the bracelet to Su Xiaomeng.
Su Xiaomeng took it and looked at it for a few seconds: "What material is this made of? It's not a Buddhist bead, right?"
"It doesn't look like Buddhist beads. I don't know what it's made of. It looks quite old."
"Well, it might really be an antique. Are you planning to sell it?"
"Not selling, just coming to estimate the price."
"oh."
As the two were talking, the waiter came over with a man in his fifties.
"Hello, sir. I am the chief treasure appraiser here. I heard that there is something you want to see?"
The man was wearing gold-rimmed glasses and looked quite educated.
"Well, hello."
"I wonder what it is?"
"This bracelet."
Xiao Chen pointed at the bracelet in Su Xiaomeng's hand and said to the middle-aged man.
When the middle-aged man saw the bracelet, his eyes suddenly shrank. Isn't this...
"Why? Do you recognize this bracelet?"
Xiao Chen noticed the abnormality of the middle-aged man, narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked.
"No, no, I don't, but I've seen a bracelet similar to this one before."
The middle-aged man has returned to normal, smiling and shaking his head.
"oh."
"Can I take a closer look at this bracelet?"
"Sure, Xiao Meng, give him the bracelet."
Su Xiaomeng nodded and handed the bracelet to the middle-aged man.
"Xiao Sun, please ask this gentleman and lady to go to the VIP room and serve tea!"
The middle-aged man took the bracelet and said something to the waiter.
"Okay, both of you please."
The waiter nodded and made an inviting gesture.
"You two, let's go to the VIP room and talk slowly."
The middle-aged man also opened his mouth to invite.
"good."
Xiao Chen nodded. He vaguely felt that there was something wrong with this middle-aged man!
However, he has nothing to worry about. He is not afraid even if this is a shady shop. Anyone who dares to swindle his products would have to do so if he doesn't want to keep the shop anymore!
Arriving at the VIP room, the middle-aged man held the bracelet and looked at it carefully.
While the middle-aged man was looking at the bracelet, Xiao Chen was also observing him, and even some subtle expressions did not escape his eyes!
"Sir, where did you get this bracelet?"
After about three minutes, the middle-aged man looked up and asked.
"What? Checking the household registration? Just tell me how much this bracelet is worth!"
Before Xiao Chen could speak, Su Xiaomeng said coldly.
The middle-aged man was stunned and a little surprised: "Are you going to sell this bracelet?"
"No, I won't sell it. I got this bracelet a while ago, and I want to find someone who knows about it to take a look at it!"
Xiao Chen said lightly.
"Oh, this bracelet is made of a special material. I don't know what it is... but it is definitely an antique. It must be worth at least eight figures!"
The middle-aged man looked at Xiao Chen and spoke slowly.
"Eight figures?"
Xiao Chen was shocked. Tens of millions?
Although he had thought that this bracelet might be worth a lot of money, he had never expected it to be so valuable!
Next to her, Su Xiaomeng's eyes widened. Is this bracelet so valuable? Why didn't she see that?
"Yes." The middle-aged man nodded: "Sir, what's your name?"
"My last name is Chen."
Xiao Chen suppressed the thoughts in his mind and said with a smile.
When Su Xiaomeng heard this, she looked at Xiao Chen in surprise.
"Oh, Mr. Chen, this is my business card."
The middle-aged man took out a business card and handed it to Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen took it and glanced at it: "Mr. Zhang, do you recognize this bracelet?"
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, the middle-aged man's face changed slightly, but then returned to normal: "Didn't I just say it? I've seen a similar one before, and I was a little nervous when I thought it was worth tens of millions."
"Oh, thank you very much for today, Mr. Zhang. How much do I need to pay for the appraisal?"
Xiao Chen said lightly.
"Haha, meeting is fate. I am willing to establish a good relationship with Mr. Chen and make him my friend, so forget about the appraisal fee."
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he returned the bracelet to Xiao Chen.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Zhang."
"If Mr. Chen wants to sell this bracelet someday, please call me."
"Sure." Xiao Chen nodded and stood up: "Then we won't bother you for now."
"Would you like to sit here for a while? Have a cup of tea before leaving?"
When the middle-aged man saw Xiao Chen was about to leave, he tried to stop him.
"No, we have something else to do."
"Mr. Chen, can you please leave me your phone number?"
"good."
Xiao Chen told the middle-aged man a number and he saved it.
Afterwards, Xiao Chen took Su Xiaomeng away, and the middle-aged man accompanied them to the door.
As soon as they got out of the door, Su Xiaomeng couldn't help but ask, "Why are the last name and number you told him fake?"
"You should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others."
"Are you worried that there's something wrong with him?"
"Haha, be careful, lest you capsize in the ditch."
Xiao Chen smiled and stroked the bracelet, but he was thinking in his heart, how should he return it?
He didn't know Youyou's identity, so it was unrealistic to return it to Youyou directly!
Then, there is only one way, to return it through Han Yifei!
However, thinking of Han Yifei, he felt a headache again. He didn't dare to see Han Yifei at all now!
"Where are we going next?"
"Just wander around."
Xiao Chen originally wanted to stay and see if he could find anything, but after thinking about something, he gave up the idea.
"Oh, there's an Apple retail store up ahead. My laptop isn't working very well. Let's go buy a new one."
Su Xiaomeng thought about it and said.
"Okay, I want to see the notebook too."
Xiao Chen nodded and walked forward with Su Xiaomeng.
Less than half an hour after they left, two black Land Rovers drove into the pedestrian street, honking their horns, and stopped in front of the antique shop.
Then, several men in black got out of the car, and last of them was a young man.
"Mr. Tang, you are here."
The chief treasure appraiser came out quickly with a respectful expression.
"Cut the crap out of me. Where's the guy with the bracelet?"
The young man asked in a deep voice.
"Mr. Tang, he's gone."
"What? Gone? Why did you let him go?"
The young man frowned.
"Mr. Tang, if they want to leave, I can't force them to stay."
The middle-aged man said with a wry smile.
"Are you sure it's that bracelet?"
"Yes, I can confirm that it is that bracelet!" The middle-aged man nodded vigorously: "It is exactly the same as the photo you gave me."
The young man narrowed his eyes and arrived a step too late!
"Mr. Tang, the man holding the bracelet is named Chen, and I also left his phone number!"
"Oh? What's the number?"
The young man was delighted and asked hurriedly.
“It’s this…”
The middle-aged man found it and showed it to the young man.
"Call him right away and ask him to come back."
"Ah? Is there any reason for him to come back?"
"I don't care what excuse you give, just hurry up!"
"Yes, yes, yes."
The middle-aged man nodded and dialed the number, but what he didn't expect was that the number was invalid and he couldn't get through at all!
"What's wrong?"
"Mr. Tang, the number is empty."
"What? An empty number?"
"Yes, I remember he said this, how could it be a blank number?"
The middle-aged man also looked confused.
The young man frowned: "Besides this, are there any other clues?"
"No, he brought a girl with him... By the way, there are surveillance cameras in the store, so you can see what they look like!"
The middle-aged man suddenly slapped his thigh when he thought of something.
The young man's eyes lit up: "Quick, take me to see the surveillance!"
"Okay, Mr. Tang, please follow me!"
The middle-aged man led the way, and the young man followed behind with a few strong men in black.
In the young man's opinion, as long as he knew what the other party looked like, it would be easy to find the other party with the help of the Tang family's intelligence network!
"Hope, let me find it first!"
The young man muttered to himself, his eyes flickering.
…
At the south end of the pedestrian street, Xiao Chen followed Su Xiaomeng, carrying two Apple laptops.
"Brother Chen, let's go for a walk around the mall."
Su Xiaomeng turned around and said.
"OK."
Xiao Chen nodded. His task today was to accompany Su Xiaomeng shopping, so she could go shopping however she wanted!
The two entered the mall, put down their notebooks and other things, then took the elevator to the third floor and entered the women's clothing area.
"Xiao Meng, the clothes here are too sexy. I don't think they suit you."
After walking around for a while, Xiao Chen put forward his own opinion.
"I know, I'm not buying it for myself, I'm thinking of buying two for my sister." Su Xiaomeng held up a translucent dress and compared it: "Brother Chen, what do you think of my sister wearing this?"
Xiao Chen looked at the dress and was speechless. He didn't know how it would look when worn. What he knew was that Su Qing would never wear it!
"Hey, isn't this Xiao Meng?"
Suddenly, a somewhat strange female voice sounded from not far away, followed by the sound of high heels tapping, and two girls walked over.
One of them was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, quite pretty, with heavy makeup and sexy and revealing clothes.
The other one, who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, had triangular eyes that were slightly drooping, and he seemed to look at everyone with some disdain.
Su Xiaomeng turned her head and when she saw the two girls, her smiling face instantly became extremely cold.
Xiao Chen noticed Su Xiaomeng's reaction and was stunned. Who are these two girls?
You know, even when Su Xiaomeng met him for the first time, his expression wasn't so bad!
"Xiao Meng, you didn't even call for help when you saw me? Who are you showing your sullen face to?"
The older girl came up to Su Xiaomeng and asked with her arms folded.
“…”
Su Xiaomeng said nothing and looked at the two girls coldly.
"Heh, who is this guy? Heh, heh, old cow eats young grass, does your sister know?"
The girl glanced at Xiao Chen and said with some mockery.
"Xiao Meng, who is this old grass? I guess even an old cow wouldn't be too lazy to eat it, right?"
Xiao Chen looked at the girl and said with disgust.
