Zhou Jianguo was sitting in the hall. When he saw me coming down, he greeted me, "I've already seen the room. It's quite good. Let's go."
As I said that, Zhou Jianguo and I walked through the corridor in the middle of the ship. At this moment, a little girl came out and said, "Uncle Zhou, this ship is quite interesting... Why is it you?"
The elegant little girl wearing plain glasses in front of her was the Su Yu who had been offended that day.
"I was invited to join Mr. Zhou, is there any problem?"
I spoke calmly, but Chen Cheng had a bit of arrogance on his face.
"Uncle Zhou, he is a big liar!"
"She was the one who tricked me into buying a fake Golden Bodhi."
Amelia Su wore a piece of jeans today, and it matched her very well. It would have been better if she had not spoken.
I smiled.
"Little girl, we saw it first, and we were the first to take action!"
"You broke the rules and still relied on us to buy fake ones."
"Isn't this appropriate?"
Chen Cheng refused to give in and brought up old things again.
"what is going on?"
"Brother Shen, was it you who made the golden bodhi?"
I looked at Zhou Jianguo with some embarrassment.
Su Yu is the granddaughter of the seventh uncle, so she is here to learn more.
And I was the one he invited to escort the antiques.
"Let bygones be bygones."
I spoke, trying to make a compromise so as not to embarrass Zhou Jianguo, "Miss Su, we can talk about these things after we get off the ship. It is very dangerous on the ship now. I hope you understand..."
"What's dangerous? It's just going out to play!"
Su Yu raised her head, blushing and having a thick neck. She was originally a girl with skin as smooth as phospholipids and a beautiful appearance, but after looking at it like this, she lost all her beauty.
It seems like she wants to straighten things out here.
"You broke the rules and relied on us. You are the granddaughter of the seventh uncle and you can do whatever you want?"
Chen Cheng further intensified the situation and intensified it.
I looked at Zhou Jianguo's embarrassed look and sighed slightly.
As the saying goes, taking a step back will open up the world, so I plan to take a step back.
At least we can't waste any more time here.
"Since Miss Su doesn't want to see me, I'll leave first."
I said and left with Chen Cheng.
"What are you doing! It's her fault!"
Chen Cheng muttered softly, but I pulled him to the back of the corridor.
"Can't waste any more time."
I said, "There's something wrong with this boat."
"ah?"
"Shh, come with me."
I said, taking her to the back and entering my room according to the number on the room card.
"What's wrong with this ship?"
Chen Cheng asked.
"look."
I said, then I found a wall and scratched it with the pen on the table.
I cut some of the wallpaper.
It's rusty inside.
"this……"
"I'm taking a gamble."
Seeing Chen Cheng's surprised expression, I said, "I was on the deck just now and saw rust behind the paint on the railings. I guessed that the ship was all old. It had just been whitewashed."
"Is it normal for Tao Ronghua to use an old boat? He's just stingy."
Chen Cheng said after thinking.
“The older the boat, the more likely it is that something will go wrong.”
I slowly said, "I can't rule out that he wants to cause a shipwreck."
"ah?"
Chen Cheng said in surprise, "If he wants to do this...he himself is not..."
“There’s a different reaction to knowing there’s a shipwreck than not knowing there’s a shipwreck.”
I explained, "I hope my guess is wrong, but I need more evidence to confirm it."
According to my intuition, people like Tao Ronghua should not dare to play such a big game.
There are many big names in the antique world gathered here.
If they were all dead, the strength of the antiques industry would be reduced by at least one-third.
Even someone as cautious as Han Shijin's father might lose his son.
If the game is so big, Tao Ronghua will be blamed. When the time comes, he will be absolutely blacklisted.
My speculation doesn't make sense.
But all the evidence points to this.
"Sorry, I was a little impulsive."
Chen Cheng nodded slightly, "But it may not be easy to see other places."
"It just so happens that by letting Su Yu follow Zhou Jianguo, I can see more places, so I will accompany you to see the structure of the ship."
I smiled and said, "Anyway, this matter happened two days ago, even if you file it with Uncle Seven, it will still be the same. We will take care of it."
Having said that, Chen Cheng and I spread out the luggage that the waiter delivered slightly.
"Brother Shen, are you there?"
I heard Zhou Jianguo's voice while I was putting away clothes.
"Master Zhou, please come in."
I said and opened the door. There was no one else behind him.
"Sorry, Uncle Seven made a temporary request and asked Miss Su to come here to take a look."
Zhou Jianguo said, "I didn't know that it was a conflict between you and her..."
"It's okay. Call me later when you want to see the exhibits."
"As long as you don't care, I'll do your best next time..."
Zhou Jianguo was about to turn his head when he saw the wallpaper I had just scratched with a pen.
"this……"
"Master Zhou, don't tell anyone."
I said and went to close the door, "I think there is something wrong with this ship, and I want to investigate more before sailing. With Miss Su here, I can't be by your side anyway."
"The ship is about to leave. You should investigate quickly. If there is any problem, we can pretend to be seasick and get off."
Zhou Jian nodded and said, "Brother Shen, thank you very much."
"Master Zhou, isn't that why you asked me to come?"
I said and smiled.
But when I met Su Yu, it was really like enemies not getting together.
But when we got to the stern deck of the ship, I realized what it means. The real meaning is that enemies never get together.
"Shen Fan, is life good?"
"Can I bring my girlfriend here to play?"
Another familiar voice, one I don't want to recall.
Turning around, a very polite man wearing glasses looked at me with a smile.
Xu Jinhe, a famous old man.
With him here, I was basically certain that this ship was probably a scam.
"Why are you here?"
"Shouldn't you take my money and enjoy your life?"
I spoke coldly.
He is what I call Chen Cheng's "good friend", if he doesn't defraud me of my money.
"You can't say that, I have principles."
"You gave me the money."
Xu Jinhe smiled and said, "But for someone as talented as you, you can always get something, right?"
As he said that, he glanced at Chen Cheng, "Isn't it true that I couldn't find a girlfriend before, but now I have one?"
"Then what are you doing here?"
"Help Tao Ronghua do something?"
I asked tentatively.
"Don't say it so harshly, I'm here to monitor Tao Ronghua. If he dares to play tricks, the big brother behind me will let Tao Ronghua feed the fish!"
Xu Jinhe smiled and said, "Okay, that's all. Have a good time."
After that, he half laughed at me and left in a swagger.
This is the person I trusted in the wrong before, and he is also the person who took advantage of my weakness to the extreme...a super con man.
If there were reports before that I might be the leading antiquities appraisal expert in the future, then Xu Jinhyuk should be one of the strongest con men in the future.
"Did he also have any issues with you?"
When Chen Cheng saw him leaving, he asked me in a low voice.
"Former enemies."
