Day 119 of being eavesdropped
Although the dragon robe is made of silk, it is not ordinary silk. It cannot be put into water and will fade if it touches water.
This mark is particularly clear, so Xi Han is sure that he will not make a mistake.
While comforting Xi Han, Gu Jinshui called An Yi: "An Yi, can your foreign friend help me find out the origin of the person who sold the dragon robe?"
An Yi was drinking tea. Hearing this, he readily agreed. He said, "That's easy. This is such big news. My friend is also in the same industry as us. He must know."
An Yi and An Xin have been making imitations of antiques in recent years. Because Xi'an is a tourist city with many foreigners, they happened to meet a business partner who liked An Yi's craftsmanship and happened to have a source of goods on hand. He then made a connection and bought the high-quality imitations made by An Yi and sent them abroad for sale.
It's not to mention that even though they are high-quality imitations, they are not cheap.
Otherwise, the An Yi brothers would not be so relaxed.
An Yi asked someone to help him find out, and the next day he came to tell Gu Jinshui.
He said, "Josef has found out that the person who made the purchase is a Chinese American, and is said to be a famous antique collector in the United States."
Chinese American? Gu Jinshui had a hunch that it was him.
He leaned forward, "What's his name, and where is he from?"
"I don't know his name, but I know his English name is Hank."
An Yi saw that Gu Jinshui looked nervous, and his heart moved slightly, and he asked, "Why, is this person related to you?"
Gu Jinshui tapped the table with his fingers. He had known An Yi and the others for so many years, so he naturally trusted them, and told them the whole story directly.
After hearing the story, An Yi also stood up for the injustice and slammed the table, "Such a bastard should be caught and killed!"
"Yes, I think so too."
Gu Jinshui knocked on the table irritably, "It's just that it's a long way away from here, it's not easy to confirm whether this man is Lin Dahai."
An Yi touched his chin and thought for a while, "Brother Gu, if you don't mind, we just happen to have a batch of goods to send to Joseph recently. If you go with us, Joseph's family has some connections and can help to find out."
"No mind, no mind, I can't thank you enough."
Gu Jinshui didn't want the opportunity to come so soon. Whether Hank could confirm it depended on himself. He had to go and see for himself.
An Yi said, "Okay, we will leave at the beginning of next month. If you want to go with us, you have to get your visa as soon as possible."
Gu Jinshui agreed readily.
Although it is troublesome to get a visa now, Gu Jinshui knows many friends, so naturally someone can help and speed up the progress.
He first went to find the old man and asked about Lin Dahai's appearance.
After Xi Han was silent for a moment, he went into the house for a long time and took out a yellowed and burnt photo. In the photo, four or five people were divided into two rows. The front row was sitting on chairs, and the back row was standing. Behind them was the entrance of an antique shop.
The people in the photo were wearing gowns and melon-shaped hats.
Xi Han pointed to a skinny man with triangular eyes in the corner and said, "This is Lin Dahai. He has a big black mole on his nose, so he is very easy to recognize. In fact, it will be more convenient for me to go with you."
"No, Master, you should stay in Beijing honestly."
Gu Jinshui took the photo and heard this. He smiled and advised, "Just wait for our good news!"
He was mainly afraid that the old man would be too excited when he saw Lin Dahai. If something unexpected happened, Gu Jinshui would not feel at ease.
"Are you really going to the United States?" He Chunlian did not dissuade him this time. After all, she knew how important this matter was to Xi Han. She folded her clothes and said, "It's fine if you want to go. I think, let's go as a family."
"All going?!" Gu Jinshui was shocked. He was originally checking whether there was enough money in the passbook. When he heard this, the passbook fell to the ground with a bang. He quickly picked up the passbook, dusted it off, and said, "If our whole family goes, what about Niuniu's studies?"
Gu Yousi was sitting next to her watching TV. When she heard this, she turned her head speechlessly and looked at her biological father, "Dad, I finished my final exam this morning."
"Ah? Hahaha."
Gu Jinshui touched the back of his head awkwardly and laughed a few times, "Girl, you guys are on summer vacation so soon."
"How can it be fast? It's already July." He Chunlian rolled her eyes at Gu Jinshui. "You are even busier than your wife. I think it's settled. All of us go. If anything happens, at least there is someone to give us advice."
Liang Ying also thought this was a good idea.
She smiled and said, "Okay, I was thinking of going to collect some information and see what materials and clothing styles are popular outside. It will be more convenient to go to the United States." So
, without saying anything,
the entire Gu family went to the United States.
Gu Jinshui had no choice but to ask someone to exchange the money for U.S. dollars. He also thought that once he arrived in the United States, if that man was really Lin Dahai, he would need money to get back the antiques that Lin Dahai had stolen from his grandfather. So he found a way to sell a few antiques, and after all, he managed to collect more than 100,000 U.S. dollars.
After knowing that they were going to the United States, Gu Yinxing expressed regret, "If I wasn't pregnant now, I would have gone with you. One more person means more strength."
He Chunlian smiled and said, "Okay, I know you care about it, but it's not for this. When we're not here for a while, you should take care of Mr. Xi. If he doesn't eat on time, you have to remember to ask the restaurant to send food to him at a fixed time."
"Mom, do you need to tell me this? I've thought of this a long time ago."
Gu Yinxing said. After she finished speaking, she suddenly thought, "Hey, do Mr. Lan and Xiaolin want to go?"
"Mr. Lan is not going, but Xiaolin is going." Liang Ying replied, "I think it's a good idea. Xiaolin's English is better than ours. If he goes, we will have one more person to help."
Liang Ying's English is just OK, but not to the point where she can communicate with foreigners. Gu Jinshui's English is good, because he often meets foreigners when doing business, and he inevitably has to speak a few words in English.
"That's great."
Gu Yinxing was envious.
It is quite respectable to be able to go abroad these days, and it is even rarer for the Gu family to travel abroad as a whole family.
Therefore, the neighbors are very envious.
On this afternoon, the sun was blazing in June and July, cicadas were chirping, and catkins were flying.
Gu Yousi was walking along the edge of the wall, hiding from the sun, intending to buy some vinegar for her family. Just as she was walking back from buying vinegar, she heard Song Chaohua's voice.
She looked up and saw Song Chaohua coming out of a small courtyard, holding two eggs in her hands, and said to the people inside: "Grandma Lin, you don't have to see me off. It's just a few steps, I know how to get there."
Grandma Lin was famous for being unkind in the neighborhood. In fact, she didn't interact with her neighbors much. She lived alone and never smiled when she saw people. Therefore, the children in the neighborhood accompanied her.
In the past, few people dared to come to the small courtyard where she lived.
But at this moment, Grandma Lin's voice revealed a bit of warmth, "You know how to get there is your business. There have been a lot of people and businessmen in the city recently. If I don't send you home, how will I explain to your parents if something happens? Okay, let's go." As
she spoke, she made a gesture to walk out.
Song Chaohua felt helpless and warm in her heart. She felt someone was looking at her. Her heart tightened. When she turned her head, she saw that it was Gu Yousi. Her heart finally settled down. She quickly said to Grandma Lin, "Grandma Lin, you don't have to see me off. I saw my neighbor's sister. Let's go back together."
Grandma Lin poked her head out and saw that it was Gu Yousi. She nodded to her and said, "Okay, you all go back quickly."
Song Chaohua nodded to the old lady, took the egg and said to Gu Yousi, "Let's go."
When she said this, her face was a little hesitant and worried, as if she was afraid that Gu Yousi would refuse.
Gu Yousi was holding a vinegar bottle in his hand, looked at her, nodded gently, and walked towards home.
After walking a distance and turning the corner, Song Chaohua stopped and said to Gu Yousi, "I, I heard that your whole family is going to the United States."
"Yes." Gu Yousi nodded.
Song Chaohua looked hesitant.
She pursed her lips and said, "I, my father seems to want to go with us."
When she said this, her face turned red, and she felt ashamed and embarrassed.
"Why is your father going with us?"
Gu Yousi looked at Song Chaohua with wide eyes in surprise.
Their family went to the United States to find back the antiques that were stolen from their grandfather.
Song Chaohua smiled bitterly and said, "My dad is sure that your dad is going out to make money this time, so, so..."
She suddenly thought of something and said excitedly, "It's not me who said it this time!"
After saying this, her face turned red again, her mouth was open for a long time, sweat dripped down her cheeks, and her eyes were full of regret.
Isn't her words equivalent to confessing that she had told Song Jianshe something before.
Gu Yousi glanced at her indifferently, looked away as if nothing had happened, and changed the subject, "Thank you for coming to report the news, I will tell my dad."
"That's good, that's good."
Song Chaohua breathed a sigh of relief. For some reason, after doing this, she felt a lot more relieved.
Song Chaohua glanced around and whispered, "Actually, your father might really make a fortune this time when he went to the United States. I dreamed that he seemed to have found a copy of Wang Xizhi's "Kuaixue Shiqing Tie" abroad!"
After saying this, Song Chaohua ran away without waiting for Gu Yousi to react, as if he was guilty of a crime.
Gu Yousi couldn't stop him, so he had to slow down helplessly and go home with the vinegar bottle.
"You're back. What took you so long?" Gu Jinshui and his friends were making dumplings. Seeing Gu Yousi coming back with a red face, Gu Jinshui poured her a glass of water and asked in wonder, "Why didn't you go to the wall? Look at your red face."
"I forgot. I ran into Song Chaohua on the way." Gu Yousi realized that her face was hot. She drank the water in one go. Her eyes were rolling, thinking about how to pass on the information Song Chaohua gave her.
