Not only were the four young people diagonally across the street talking, but May and the others were also curiously browsing the news on their mobile phones.
"Qin Sirui debuted at a young age and worked hard to make progress. There has never been any scandal. I like her very much. I didn't expect that such a national goddess would be revealed to be married and have children. I wonder if the news is true?"
"It should be true. Judging from the profile, it's definitely her."
"Who do you think the man behind her is? To be able to marry a peerless beauty like Qin Sirui, I guess that man is probably a super rich man." Dashan also expressed his thoughts, and then he looked at Li Mo, " Mr. Qin, you have a high status, do you know some gossip?"
"Don't you have time to gossip?" Li Mo smiled, took a sip of coffee and said, "Qin Sirui received the marriage certificate at the beginning of last year and gave birth to twin girls in the hospital in October of the same year."
Wu Yue said with some disbelief: "You know so clearly, do you know Qin Sirui very well?"
"She is my wife, of course I know her."
Li Mo said calmly, then picked up a piece of pastry, took a bite and tasted it slowly. But in May, Dashan and the others were stunned. This was even more exciting than Li Mo picking up a big leak.
"You don't believe it?"
Li Mo was a little speechless. He pulled out several pictures from his phone and showed them one by one in front of them.
"Why do I feel that all the good things in the world have been taken over by you alone? I am so envious and jealous." Wuyue sighed softly. There was another incomparable good man missing from the world.
"Hahaha, we will go on a trip in the afternoon to let you all relax."
In the next two days, Li Mo and the others did nothing but play.
On the fifth day of the Antiques Festival, Li Mo was awakened by a knock on the door in his sleep. He looked outside the window and his genius shone slightly. When he walked to the door, he saw through the peephole that it was Dashan knocking on the door. He opened it and breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What happened?"
"Mr. Qin, the people behind sent news that the antique shop was closed after we left, and then the door was never opened again, and no one came out. In the early hours of this morning, five people sneaked into the antique shop, and ten people entered the antique shop secretly. He left in a hurry after a few minutes, seemingly in a hurry."
"Come in and talk slowly."
Dashan entered the room and continued: "Due to the Antique Festival, there are police patrols on the street 24 hours a day. I found the door of the antique store open, so I went in to check it out. Then several more came one after another. A police car didn’t evacuate until about four o’clock in the morning.”
Li Mo poured a glass of warm water to moisten his throat: "It seems they are all finished."
"Mr. Qin, should we leave Seattle immediately? If the police target you, things may become very complicated."
Li Mo thought for a moment and said, "Let Gu Lishi come over. He is a barrister, and he will handle all the procedures. Maybe he will have different suggestions."
"Okay, I'll wake him up right now."
Soon, Gulishi followed Dashan to the room, and Dashan explained the situation again.
"Gulishi, how do you think this matter should be handled well?"
"Mr. Qin, you don't have to worry about this, I will take care of it. Just now, Mr. Dashan said that after we left, they closed the door until they died, which means that their procedures have not been registered with the official Seattle agency. In this case, I will go to Antiques today. I went to the store and called the police, saying that I had made an appointment to go to the official agency to register the property rights together today, but when I found something unusual, I called the police to deal with it. I am a lawyer, and lawyers have a lot of privileges in the United States, and the official people also I don’t really like dealing with lawyers, and because of the Antiques Festival, I guess the officials will make it a big deal and make it a trivial matter.”
"In addition, the property rights of the antique store have not yet been officially registered, so I would suggest that they take back the property rights in the official name and then deal with it. I believe they will not let go of such a rare opportunity to make money."
"Okay, then let's do what you want first."
"Mr. Qin, you can rest assured, no one understands the greed of these people in the United States better than me."
Things went just as Gulish said. He returned to the hotel in the afternoon. Judging from his confident smile, the matter had been taken care of.
"So fast?"
"They are more active than anyone else in doing things that are good for them. In addition, your status is quite special. You are Chinese experts invited by the United States, so they are happy to take advantage of the situation and take over the antique store."
"Okay, in that case, let's go out and go shopping at the Antique Festival. There are two and a half days left. If we take the time, we might be able to buy some fine antiques back."
As soon as a group of people walked out of the hotel, they saw a security guard walking towards them with a black guy.
"Mr. Qin, he is looking for you."
Li Mo had a good impression of this black boy, but he didn't expect that he would actually come here.
"Hello, my Chinese name is Mangosteen. Master hopes that I will be as tough and tenacious as the bamboo growing in the mountains." The black boy bowed respectfully to Li Mo, "Mr. Qin, my master wants to meet you. .”
"How is your master's condition?"
"I have had an operation, but the medical expenses here are extremely high. Master went home to recuperate in order to save money. Mr. Qin, if you have time now, I will take you there. It's an hour's drive away in the suburbs. about."
"I'm also very curious about your master. He has trained you well. Let's go."
We'll wait until tomorrow to go over to the Antique Street. Today we'll go there with Black Boy to see what kind of treasures there are.
Five off-road vehicles drove towards the suburbs. As they got further and further away from the city center, the city gradually became depressed. About forty minutes later, the car stopped at a residential area that looked a bit old. I saw a lot of Chinese people here. They were probably from the middle and lower classes, so there were a lot of people and a variety of commercial shops. .
"There are several Chinese people who have opened shops here, and the business is very good. When I was hungry in the past, as long as I spoke Chinese, they would give me a certain amount of food."
The appearance of Li Mo and others also attracted a lot of attention.
"Mangosteen, lead the way."
"Mr. Qin, please come this way."
A group of people followed the black boy towards the depths of the residential area. After about ten minutes, they stopped in front of a three-story building.
"Mr. Qin, we have just moved here. There is a small courtyard on the first floor, which is convenient for traveling and suitable for Master to recuperate." The black boy took out the key and opened the door, "Mr. Qin, please come in. Master, the good man who helped us is here. .”
When Li Mo walked into the house, he saw a thin middle-aged man about thirty years old sitting in a wheelchair. He pulled the wheel himself and came up from the living room.
Li Mo saw him for the first time and wanted to ask about his injuries. But when his eyes met, he saw that the other person's face changed suddenly and turned pale. At the same time, the panic in his eyes was obvious and could not be concealed at all.
"Does the other person know me?"
Li Mo groaned in his heart. At this time, he did not take the initiative to speak, but had a weak smile on his face. No one on either side spoke, and the others also noticed the abnormality and immediately became vigilant.
"Master, he is Mr. Qin, and he funded the project with a hundred thousand dollars."
The black boy hurriedly introduced it again.
"Mr. Qin?" The middle-aged man sitting in the wheelchair stared at Li Mo's face and suddenly sighed, "Li Mo, I didn't expect to see you here."
Dashan and the others immediately took a step forward. No wonder the atmosphere when they met was strange. It turned out that they had known each other for a long time.
Li Mo looked at the other person's face and seemed to have some impression, but the impression was vague, as if he had seen him somewhere.
He kept recalling some people in his mind, and suddenly he thought of a person, and couldn't help but said: "Who are you, Nine Fingers?"
The man in the wheelchair relaxed now and said feebly: "He is my father."
Jiuzhi is a very awesome person. He planned the theft of national treasures. Even the imitation national treasure porcelain produced by his counterfeiting team was fake.
"Nine Fingers is a very powerful person. It's just that the path he took is crooked. Based on his ability, if he takes the bright road, he will definitely be a great master among Chinese craftsmen."
The man in the wheelchair suddenly had a bright light in his eyes, and he looked at Li Mo in disbelief: "Do you really think so?"
"I only talked about his skill in making porcelain, not his stealing skills."
"The living room is a bit messy, so feel free to sit down."
Li Mo sat generously on the sofa and looked at the environment in the house. It was quite messy and the decoration was very old.
"I never heard that there were still fish that slipped through the net back then."
"I am an illegitimate child. I was not directly involved in many of the things he did, but he also passed on his skills to me since I was a child. So I escaped six years ago and hid in the United States to survive. Li Mo, my father committed such a crime Big eucalyptus, why did you want to save his life in the end?"
"I didn't save his life, I just thought it was a pity that his porcelain making skills were lost like this, so I hope he can change his ways and give guidance to the younger generations when he has time. I asked about these people. It's very peaceful inside, and maybe I can come out in two or three years. It's just a pity that the person who assassinated me back then didn't have such a good life. By the way, what should I call you?"
"Follow my mother's surname, Zhao Tong. Hey, everything is fate. I came to the United States just to avoid you. I didn't expect that a few years later, I would still have a knee replacement surgery with the money you funded, let alone Meet you here. I want to see you today. I originally wanted to do a business with you, but something unexpected happened and my plan changed. "
"What business do you want to do with me?"
"I lived a life that was worse than a dog or a dog during the years I hid here, and I was terrified every day. Now that you have encountered me, I accept my fate. I can ask him to take you to the treasure house that Mangkhut discovered, and I can also go back to it. He will be tried at home, but you must agree to one condition. Please take Mangkhut back to China. He is an orphan. He is not a bad person and can teach adults well. I believe that with your influence in the country, you can get him A legal identity shouldn’t be difficult.”
"Will you be able to walk normally after recovering from your leg injury?"
"Three years ago, I took Mangkhut out to do some work. I missed it and both of my kneecaps were shattered by the opponent. Although replacement surgery has been performed, the extent of recovery can only be determined by God's will."
"You want to go back?"
"Even if I die and return home, I want to give Mangkhut a bright future. He shouldn't end up like me."
"Zhao Tong, after returning to China, I hope you can use all your skills on the right path. Although there is a high probability that you will be severely punished by Chinese law, you don't need to worry about it every day. If you want Okay, I will arrange for someone to take you back."
Zhao Tong was silent for a moment, looked at Hei Xiaozi and said with a smile: "Mangosteen, take him to the treasure house."
"Yes, Master."
The black boy walked outside the door and asked carefully: "Can you let my master go for once?"
"I even saved his father's life, let alone an illegitimate son who was not very involved in theft and counterfeiting. Mangkhut, I can see that your nature is not bad. If you take some right paths, you can live a happy life for the rest of your life. But if you take the wrong path, you can live a happy life." Even if you have the ability, you can only live in the darkness."
"I don't understand the truth. It was my master who gave me a mouthful of food back then, so I didn't freeze to death on the streets in winter. So I don't recognize whoever it is, I just recognize my master. Wherever he is, I will be there. He goes Wherever he goes, I will follow him."
The black boy said it very honestly. He led the way and soon came to a group of low houses.
"This house was originally occupied by an old Chinese man. Later he fell ill and died, and we lived in this house. Look at the short house on the right. It looks shabby from the outside, but it is actually very well decorated inside. I once I saw a man moving things into the house many times in the middle of the night. Once I couldn't help but be curious and sneaked in to take a look, but I didn't find any clues. I guessed that there must be a secret place in the house that has not been discovered yet. "
"Later, he was killed in a car accident, and we gradually received some news about him. It turned out that he was a gangster, secretly hiding some antiques as his own, and waiting to seize the opportunity to transfer them one by one. "
Li Mo looked at the house next door and asked, "Is anyone living in it now?"
"There are two American women living there. They sleep during the day and come out to work at night. So if we want to go in, we have to wait until night before we have a chance." Mangkhut looked at the group of people following him and said, "They are too It’s so easy to be noticed, let’s move at night.”
"Just follow the arrangements."
Li Mo looked at his surroundings before returning to where Zhao Tong lived. He was lying on the ground alone, looking up at his head.
"Master, what's wrong with you?"
Mangkhut exclaimed.
Li Mo was also startled and hurriedly ran over. When he got there, he realized that he was in a daze.
"I just want to lie down quietly."
With the help of Li Mo, Zhao Tong sat back on the wheelchair and said, "Have you explored the road? Li Mo, I guess there must be a secret room in that house, so Shanzhu didn't find anything after he quietly went in."
"What exactly is going on inside will become clear when we go in at night."
