Chapter: 5579

Long Shengbo was also somewhat perplexed.

He felt on one hand that this might be a scam, but on the other hand, after listening to Zhao Laozi explain all these things, he felt that it must be some kind of team that specializes in looting graves and selling off their loot!

As he thought about this, he deliberately asked probing questions: "Little brother, dare I ask if your big brother is a professional in antiques?"

"Yes!" Zhao Laozi said without hesitation. "He has been doing antiques for 20-30 years, absolutely an expert in all kinds of ancient artifacts!"

Long Shengbo nodded and handed over several hundred-dollar bills with a smile, saying: "Little brother, don't you know if you could introduce me to your big brother? I'd really like to get to know him!"

Zhao Laozi glanced at Old Head and saw him happily counting money, so he came up with a plan in his mind.

Then, he deliberately coughed twice and said seriously: "Old sir, you also know that our line of work has its own rules. I don't know what kind of person you are, and I'm definitely not going to take you to my big brother's place without knowing. If you're someone like Lei Zi, we'll all be in trouble. My whole life will be ruined!"

Long Shengbo quickly said: "Hey, little brother, you're really misunderstanding me! I'm not some kind of Lei Zi; I won't deceive you. I'm an overseas Chinese who has just returned to China."

As he spoke, he quickly took out his passport and handed it to Zhao Laozi's face, saying seriously: "Little brother, look at this - this is my Argentine passport. The entry time is all recorded here."

Zhao Laozi himself was just chatting idly, so he didn't feel like the old man in front of him would be a police undercover agent sent by the authorities.

It's simply because he wants to increase the difficulty and threshold of this matter and try to get more money from Old Head.

So, he said seriously: "Old sir, I'm also someone who has seen it all. The thing you have in your hand is just a small alleyway item on our antique street. As long as you put out a thousand yuan, there's no way we can't get what we want - that's the rule."

Long Shengbo saw that he didn't believe him and quickly added more money to it and handed it over, saying sincerely: "Little brother, don't say anything else. Look at my age; even if I were a police officer, I would have retired by now. How could I possibly become an undercover agent?"

As he spoke, Long Shengbo further explained: "Little brother, I'm really happy with the jade you're holding, so I also sincerely want to buy it. If not, how about we do this? You help me talk to your big brother and let him name a price. As long as it's within my means, I'll pay him immediately!"

Zhao Laozi saw that the other person was putting money into his hand, so he deliberately pushed it away, saying: "Hey, old sir, what are you doing? You're not going to make me make a mistake, right? If I go back and tell my big brother about this, he'll think I have no bottom line. He won't let me play with him again in the future."

As he spoke, Long Shengbo intentionally added some bait and deliberately stretched that jade ring down to Long Shengbo's nose, looking mysterious and saying: "Old sir, I won't say much more. Just sniff this ring, and you'll know what's inside! If it's really someone who knows their stuff, they'll immediately figure out where it came from!"

Long Shengbo hesitated and cautiously took a whiff, then furrowed his brow and asked: "It smells like something rotten, with some stench and also a bit of dirtiness..."

"Yes!" Zhao Laozi raised his thumb in approval, looking admiringly at Long Shengbo and saying: "Old sir, it seems your sense of smell is still quite keen! You can pick up so many scents. Where did this thing come from? You don't need to tell me, I already know!"

"Oh...I understand..." Long Shengbo nodded slightly, seeing Zhao Laozi's expression and his words full of no deception whatsoever, as a person with 156 years of life experience like him would know that what Zhao Laozi was saying was absolutely true!

So he carefully shared his conclusion: "Little brother, these things are all dug out from the ground?"

Zhao Laozi instantly widened his eyes, put the cards in his armpit, and proactively grasped Long Shengbo's hands, one hand holding the cash in Long Shengbo's palm, while the other hand was full of praise and caution: "Old sir, congratulations! You got it right!"

As Zhao Laozi received the money, he praised and still didn't forget to flatter Long Shengbo with one sentence: "Old sir, it seems you're also someone who knows their stuff! Haven't you branched out in your youth?"

Zhao Laozi casually waved his hand, smiling and saying, "I'm just a person who knows some antiques, doesn't know tomb raiding."

Zhao Laozi indeed didn't understand tomb raiding very well.

He had heard some rumors about tomb raiding when he was young, even hearing rumors about Sun Dingying tomb raiding Cixi's grave. However, the key point is that he has been living in the temple for many years, showing little interest in tomb raiding and artifacts themselves. Therefore, he didn't understand too much. JrNovels.com
