After the third fat man told the story of the incident, there was silence in the living room for a long time. Several doubts appeared in Li Mo's mind, and there were obvious flaws.
If the other party is playing tricks, they must have a purpose. Do they have a grudge? Impossible, the two of them don't know each other at all.
The bait the other party laid was a giant jadeite. How did he know that there was something wrong with that piece of rough jade? There were so many people and appraisal experts at the scene, so there was no possibility of fraud on such a big stone.
Unless the other party has the ability to see through like you and can see through the true situation inside the jadeite. Because I know it in my heart, I can make decisions with confidence.
Could it be that the person who made the decision really had perspective?
Li Mo didn't dare to deny it, after all, he was a living example.
If so, that person must have a clear purpose. Either he had a personal grudge against the three fat men, or he had a grudge against someone in Niu's family.
Or maybe he has a personal grudge against Niu Sanpang's relatives and friends.
When Li Mo thought about this, he felt that the possibility of the other party having clairvoyance ability was almost zero. Then you need to use another kind of thinking to think about it. The other party may be very proficient in jade and can infer the internal distribution of jade with a high probability from the appearance of the original jade stone.
If you have such identification ability, then the other party or the master who is closely related to the other party is definitely not an ordinary unknown person in the jade world.
This possibility exists.
There is also a final situation, that is, a rough jade stone like that has appeared more than once, and completely collapsed after being cut. If you speculate like this, the origin of the jade is worthy of careful consideration. It must have come from the same place.
There is only one main source of jadeite in the world - Myanmar.
Could it be that Niu Sanpang or Wu Min offended people abroad?
The more Li Mo thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was a bit strange and he couldn't figure it out.
"Master Li, what are you thinking about?"
Seeing that no one said anything, Niu Sanpang became a little anxious and asked Li Mo directly.
"I'm thinking that if the other party is going for Wu Min, then you will become an innocent victim and implicated. If the other party is completely going for you, then the conspiracy behind it will make people think deeply."
"I haven't offended anyone. It's only been a few months since I took over the auction house," Niu Sanpang said, and doubts arose in his heart, "Master Li, do you think Kimberly Auction House is behind this? After all, In this year’s autumn auction, my New Century Auction House almost became the final winner.”
The more Niu Sanpang thought about it, the more likely he felt that this was possible.
"They tried every means to suppress me, so they found someone to trick me into draining my funds."
"Do you think people like you do things without thinking?" Mr. Niu snorted, "People don't know your origins?"
The third fat man immediately lowered his head after being scolded by the old man.
"Dad, what should we do now?" Niu Sanpang's father is a little chubby and looks similar to Sanpang, but his eyesight looks shrewder, and he looks like a real old man at first glance.
"I have asked people to conduct a secret investigation. Judging from their intelligence capabilities, there has been no news in the past two days. It seems that the people behind the situation are very cunning. But now that they have appeared, they will definitely leave clues. We still Waiting for the news. Whether it is against the three fat men or against our Niu family because of business, this tone must be spoken. Otherwise, everyone will want to take a bite, and how can our Niu family gain a foothold in Kyoto."
At this moment, Mr. Niu showed the aura of being arrogant and arrogant, and his words were full of murderous intent.
"Dad, the people we sent out are back."
San Pang's father got up and walked out, and about five minutes later he walked into the living room of the villa with two men in their thirties.
"Hello, Mr. Niu."
One of them had a resolute face, stood there with a straight back, and spoke loudly and forcefully. Li Mo felt the temperament of the King of Soldiers from them. They should all come from the army.
"This is the result of the investigation."
A document was handed to Mr. Niu, but he did not accept it. Instead, he said in a deep voice: "Just tell me."
"Okay, based on the information provided by Mr. Niu, we tracked it down. Those people were very cautious in doing things, but they still left many traces. We followed all the way and finally found out that the person who clashed with Mr. Niu was a Chinese from Myanmar named Song Xinming. Twenty-five years old, I entered the customs on the 24th of last month in the name of doing business, and I brought with me the three rough jade stones."
"We investigated his background. This person's family has a very strong background and power in Myanmar. His father is a famous jade merchant named Song Zang, and his grandfather is a very prestigious jade king in Myanmar."
Niu Sanpang was confused. He didn't know them and had never heard of them.
"That Song Xinming entered China for the first time. It was impossible for him to know Mr. Niu, and there was no reason to play tricks on him. So we continued to investigate other members of the Song family. He had a brother named Song Xinqiu who was one year older. He was five years old. We went to the United States to study abroad several years ago and later settled there. We contacted the overseas organization and focused on investigating his brother’s personal connections. We found a person among the people who were relatively close to him. His name was Li Jiayu. At the beginning of this month, the two of them had very frequent phone calls."
At this point, the man paused to allow everyone present time to digest the hidden information.
"Is it that boy from the Li family?" Mr. Niu asked with a frown.
"Yes, that's the eldest grandson who was kicked out of Kyoto by Mr. Li. He returned to Kyoto last month and stayed for more than ten days, during which time he secretly received Song Xinqiu, who came from the United States. Two days later, Song Xinming entered the customs. "
"Holy shit, that bastard is plotting against me behind my back. I've never had any conflict with him since I was little. Is that bastard crazy?" Niu San was so angry that he couldn't help but swear.
"Shut up and sit down." Mr. Niu shouted. Only then did Niu Sanpang come to his senses and slowly sit down, but the expression on his face was very angry.
"Is he the one behind this?"
"Based on the clues we have so far, Li Jiayu is inseparable. As for why he attacked Mr. Niu, we have not yet obtained relevant clues and evidence. Because the relationship between the Li family and the Niu family is quite special, I will come back to report first."
Li Mo had been listening quietly. Seeing that everyone was silent and solemn, he sighed secretly and said softly: "Maybe the person Li Jiayu wants to deal with is not the third fat man, but me."
As soon as he said this, everyone in the living room looked up at him.
Yes, it seems that Li Mo is the only one who has a feud with Li Jiayu, and according to rumors, the feud between the two is very deep.
"I heard that the Li family and the Qin family were originally engaged. Later there were rumors that the Qin family had been dragging the matter because of your appearance. But if we really talk about it, it really has nothing to do with you. Who doesn't know That girl from the Qin family has a cold temperament and has always refused to treat men. The marriage contract between the Qin family and the Li family is delayed, maybe it is the Qin family's own intention. "
said a woman in her late thirties.
Li Mo looked at her, she must be San Pang's sister.
"Master Li, this is my second sister." Niu Sanpang introduced at the side, and then pointed to another young woman, "My eldest sister, as for my dad, you can tell the difference by looking at our faces."
At this time, the third fat man still wanted to make some jokes. With a character like his, it would be too difficult for him to die.
"Second sister is right. This is just a rumor. That Li Jiayu won't go around in such a big circle to deal with you, right?"
Li Mo thought for a moment and looked at Niu Sanpang. Sanpang shook his head and said, "Jia Xin and I have never mentioned other issues between you and Li Jiayu in front of them."
"Li Mo, are there any other festivals between the two of you?" Mr. Niu has never heard of this matter. It seems that the three elders and the people in the Qin family compound were very strict about what happened that day and did not reveal it. .
Regardless of whether Li Jiayu was behind the plan or not, the matter had already become a big deal, and Li Mo felt that it was better to make it clear.
"That incident was a big blow to Mr. Li. Unfortunately, he had high expectations for Li Jiayu, but in the end he found that the person he had high hopes for repeatedly showed his stupid side." Li Mo told the story of their relationship. It was a real holiday event, "Li Jiayu once spent 20 million yuan in Lao America to buy a painting of Dong Qichang's calligraphy. If that calligraphy was sold in China, it would cost at least 120 million yuan."
"One day, I went to the Qin family compound. Mr. Shi and Mr. Li were both there. When we were discussing calligraphy and painting, I mentioned the calligraphy of Dong Qichang. Then I asked Li Jiayu to send it to the Qin family for Mr. Qin to appreciate it. Originally, I I didn’t want to have anything to do with him, but he kept provoking me, so I followed Mr. Qin to watch.”
Li Mo spread his hands when he said this: "I identified that Dong Qichang's calligraphy was fake and was imitated by a private calligrapher in the late Qing Dynasty. I also pointed out the flaws in front of them. That painting was once considered to be worth 120 million. The above words are actually worth tens of thousands of yuan. Li Jiayu's dream of making a fortune was shattered, and he paid nearly 20 million yuan for it. In front of Mr. Qin and Mr. Shi, Mr. Li has completely lost face."
"You have all heard what happened later. Mr. Li kicked Li Jiayu out of Kyoto and asked him to go to an out-of-town branch to practice. Later, it was reported that Mr. Li wanted to let Li Yanxin, a branch of the company, take over the company. "
There was really no news about the grudge between them. When Li Mo said this, everyone felt that the two people should have a deep hatred.
"I met him last month in the old alley of Dongjiaominxiang. The boy was walking around the alley with a woman. He accidentally broke a fine porcelain from a folk kiln in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. It was a plum porcelain specially customized for Heshen. Bottle. Because he was very hostile to me, I also let him lose a little money to teach him a lesson."
Alas, I really didn’t expect that Li Jiayu returned to Kyoto to plot against him. This speculation is probably true, but he did not attack Li Mo directly, but used a roundabout strategy to attack the people around him first.
With this move, Niu Sanpang lost 210 million, and Wu Min, who was implicated, lost 130 million. He thought he did it without anyone noticing, but he never thought that Mr. Niu was not someone to be trifled with. He used a lot of connections and spent two days tracking him down.
All clues point to the possibility that Li Jiayu is the main mastermind behind the scenes.
It's just that I can't check it any further. What is the relationship between the Niu family and the Li family, and they both have deep connections with the Qin family and the poets. If this matter was revealed to Mr. Li, it would definitely cause an earthquake in the Li family.
"This matter ends here, there is no need to investigate."
Mr. Niu finally said that there was no point in continuing the investigation unless he decided to break up with the Li family.
Li Mo felt that if he stayed here any longer, he would only cause trouble for everyone. He stood up and saluted Mr. Niu, then looked at Niu Sanpang with an apologetic look, and said in a deep voice: "I will figure this out. If It’s really because of me, I will give the Three Fatty an explanation.”
"Master Li, look at what you said. I have to bear a lot of responsibility for this matter. I was too radical and risky, so someone took the opportunity and stabbed me severely. This stab will hurt me for the rest of my life. memorable."
Niu Sanpang hurriedly stood up and walked over to hug his shoulders and said: "To be honest, I hid in the room and thought about it for two days and figured out one thing, that is, I was too inflated and got carried away. There is no need for you to do it because of It’s not worth it to have any further grudges with the Li family over this matter.”
"Three Fatty is right. Basically, this happened because Li Jiayu caught his weakness and the conspiracy was successful. Li Mo, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years. Let's put up with this and settle accounts with him in the future." .”
When Mr. Niu heard the third fat man speak frankly about his shortcomings, a happy smile appeared on his face. A suitable heir to the Niu family cannot grow up quickly without experiencing some setbacks. 210 million may seem like a lot, and it is money that ordinary people cannot earn in several lifetimes, but for their family, such a loss is affordable.
From a certain perspective, the real loss of their family was just over 100 million, because the remaining 100 million was earned by the three fat men themselves.
An autumn auction can easily earn more than 100 million yuan. As long as Li Mo helps, he can earn as many as 100 million yuan in the future. Rather than suffer setbacks in the future, it would be better to get over it as soon as possible, which would be a good thing for the young heir.
"Mr. Niu, uncles and aunts, eldest and second sisters, I will take my leave today." Li Mo said hello to several people, turned around and walked out. Niu Sanpang hurriedly followed him out of the house. As soon as he reached the door, he caught up with Li Mo and said, "Master Li, you have to control your emotions. After all, the Li family has status. No matter how much wealth you have, in their eyes It’s still not enough. That’s why my grandfather decided not to pursue the investigation any further, because even if he knew the truth, there would be no solution.”
"I'm not that stupid. If I really want to deal with Li Jiayu, I'll just use conspiracy to deal with him openly and leave everyone speechless." Li Mo smiled and said, "You have lost so much, I will look for more treasures later." Go to your autumn auction and try to make up for the loss. As for Wu Min, I will compensate her a little more when the opportunity is right."
"This is a good brother. My auction house is counting on you to prosper and surpass Kimberly Auction House."
After Li Mo drove away, his face looked extremely ugly.
What a mastermind, I really underestimated him.
Since you have already taken action, I can only take it. Li Mo parked the car on the side of the road and calmed down for a while, then took out his mobile phone and dialed Chen Xiaojun's number.
"Little uncle."
"Put aside what you are doing for the time being and take your two brothers to check everything about Li Jiayu. Remember, be careful and don't reveal any clues."
"Understood, junior uncle, I will make arrangements immediately."
