Chapter: 6359

Ma Lan saw the plane starting to take off and hurriedly urged: "You'd better hurry up and make the call. The plane has already taken off, and once it's in the air, we can't make any more phone calls!"

"Oh, oh, oh!" Ma Lan nodded enthusiastically and urged, "Then you'd better hurry up and make that call! Don't let the person who's buying things with someone else's phone leave or it'll be too late!"

"Okay!"

Xiao Changkun picked up his phone and immediately dialed Zhang Eirong.

At this moment, Zhang Eirong was still under the impression that Xiao Changkun wouldn't know about this before taking off, but he didn't expect Xiao Changkun to call him again. He suddenly felt a bit nervous.

However, despite being nervous, he couldn't help but answer Xiao Changkun's phone and wanted to know what Xiao Changkun was calling for - whether it was just a surprise or not.

So, he pressed the receive button and pretended to be carefree, asking, "Hey, Elder Xiao! Aren't you supposed to take off soon? Why are you still calling me?"

Xiao Changkun blurted out, "Zhang Eirong! Have you heard about this? Yesterday we sold that bronze Buddha statue to Zhou Liangyun for two million dollars, and it's his mother's from the Northern Song dynasty!"

As soon as Zhang Eirong heard these words, his head exploded, and cold sweat began to flow down his face.

He swallowed hard and pretended to be curious, saying, "Is this true? Has this happened? I haven't heard about it! That thing is from the Northern Song dynasty? It's unlikely!"

Xiao Changkun scolded, "You used to call yourself a connoisseur of all things antique on Old Pawn Street, but how come you're not sensitive to my news? Hurry up and contact your little brother and find someone to impersonate his older brother to gather witnesses and get the thing back from me! Just say that it's your little brother who stole it out and it belongs to stolen goods that must be returned!"

So, Zhang Eirong's forehead was already soaked with cold sweat, and he muttered to himself in despair: "What a bunch of nonsense... just what I expected..."

He said nervously, "Xiao Changkun, this matter isn't as easy to handle as you think. If we really want to get that thing back through legal means, we first need to prove we're not lying, and if Zhou Liangyun reports it to the police and gets them involved, then when they investigate and find out what's going on, we'll be in a sticky situation."

He reminded Xiao Changkun quickly: "Xiao Changkun, you're now the vice chairman of the calligraphy association and a strong candidate for next year's chairman. If this thing gets blown up and it's known that you're involved, your reputation will definitely take a hit."

Xiao Changkun said without hesitation: "Just let Zhang Eirong handle it then. Don't drag me into it. That statue is your little brother's to sell, so just get him to straighten things out and be done with it. After that, I'll give you one hundred thousand yuan."

Zhang Eirong wiped his sweat: "Xiao Changkun, I don't think it's a good idea for me to stick my neck out... if the old master finds out, he might even blame me..."

Xiao Changkun got annoyed and said: "What about the old master? Doesn't the old master treat your nephew well? Anyway, this matter is none of my concern. If you don't help me get that bronze Buddha statue back, I'll go find my good son-in-law and have him get an explanation from the old master!"

Zhang Eirong was taken aback and hastily said: "Oh no, Xiao Changkun, we shouldn't drag Master Ye into this... Master Ye is a just and upright person. He might not approve of our scheme to sell fake goods and cheat people..."

Xiao Changkun asked him back: "Who sold the fake goods? I'm asking you who sold the fake goods? That thing that's worth two million yuan, was it really sold for thirty thousand yuan? Wasn't that selling a fake?"

Zhang Eirong said with tears in his voice: "Xiao Changkun, don't worry about how much that thing is worth. Its nature is this nature... we just can't change the fact that we thoughtlessly traded our good things for fake goods to cheat people..."

Xiao Changkun deadpanned: "You stop talking nonsense and just go get that statue back from me. I'll deposit thirty thousand yuan into your account right away, and don't bother me with anything else. If you can't solve it, I'll go find my son-in-law, admit to having bad intentions, and take that statue back myself! And even if my son-in-law finds out, he won't do a thing to me!"

Xiang Ermao really cried, sobbing and saying: "Zhang Laoshi, Master Eluo won't do anything to you, but I'm not sure if I should say something now... My whole today's achievement depends on Master Eluo speaking well in front of the fifth uncle, if Master Eluo finds out that I'm together with you doing this kind of dirty business, one unhappy, I'll be finished!"

Xiao Changkun angrily questioned: "Who is the one who doesn't want to wear a face? How did it become not wanting to wear a face? Don't all these main ideas come from you? If it wasn't for your coming to pressure me, I wouldn't have known that Zhou Liangyun returned? If it wasn't for your giving me this bad idea, how would I have lost two million?"

Zhang Ermao said with a pleading tone: "I admit that the bad idea was indeed from me, but you didn't lose anything, you spent 98,000 yuan and earned back 300,000, your net profit is 20,000,000, how could you say you lost two million? Moreover, you said you sold your goods at a loss, but if it wasn't for my giving you this bad idea, you wouldn't have even gotten that thing, so how could you possibly say you lost two million?"

Xiao Changkun knew he was wrong, but didn't care about it now, and directly opened up: "Zhang Ermao, I'm not going to waste words with you, whether or not I'm right, I don't care, what I care about is that you must bring back the thing for me, no matter what method you use, the thing will be mine! If you can't bring it back, don't blame me for turning my face!" JrNovels.com
