"Are you...are you sure?"
Uncle Lei opened his eyes wide, with a hint of fear and a hint of greed in his eyes.
"You have people clean them and try not to damage the bottles as much as possible."
I slowly said, "The words above, including the plum vase itself, all contain a story."
"Okay, I'll send someone right away."
Uncle Lei spoke immediately, and then took out his cell phone to notify his men.
I have heard Uncle Lei say that there are friends of Uncle Lei in the archaeological institute responsible for excavating ancient tombs.
Of course, there are also Uncle Lei’s funds.
Therefore, he has the qualifications to enter and dispose freely.
"Don't talk about these things for now."
"If it is known, it may lead to competition from all sides."
After he finished calling the order, I spoke slowly, my expression still very serious.
"understand!"
Uncle Lei said with a smile.
Not long after, the staff came and took the plum bottle away for protection.
"It takes a while, you go back first."
Uncle Lei watched the staff take Mei Ping out, then turned around and spoke.
"It's okay, I've seen it, it shouldn't be a big problem."
Even though I said that, I could already feel Uncle Lei's abnormality.
After all, facing this unique thing would be tempting for any mortal.
It was clear to me that this thing should be in a museum, not in the hands of a private collector or even a smuggler.
To "clean" the plum vase, you don't need to do much processing at all, except that you need to be careful and pay attention to the type of liquid used.
Let the bottle get clean so it can be read more clearly, no more than an hour.
Even a novice in the field of archeology will not take more than half a day.
But he said that he wanted me to come tomorrow. It was obvious that Uncle Lei had selfish motives for my description.
If it weren't for Liu Qingzhong's absolute trust in me in identifying antiques, he might not believe what I said.
Back at the hotel, I sat on a chair and drank tea while waiting.
After finishing other matters, Xu Jinhe knocked on the door and entered.
"As you said, Uncle Lei is changing the contract."
When the door opened, he spoke directly.
"Did you take the photo? Did you get the evidence?"
After talking to Xu Jinhyuk, I looked at Li Jinming who had been waiting in the room.
She didn't go with me today, but stayed here to contact the Sheriff's Department.
"Shen Fan, the public security management offices of Guangdong and Guangxi are already making preparations. It is estimated that they can set off tonight."
"They have sent people to keep an eye on Hu Jianjun's hiding place."
With Li Jinming's words, I can continue to think about Mei Ping.
Before coming back, I asked Xu Jinhe to watch Uncle Lei's every move.
The result... was naturally the same as what Xu Jinhe came in to say - Uncle Lei was forging a plum vase and taking the real plum vase as his own.
"I took the photo and I've saved it all."
Xu Jinhe slowly said, "If you give these to Liu Qingzhong, you should be able to destroy Uncle Lei with one hand, right?"
I could see that Xu Jinhyuk did this simply because I promised to return to Beijing, and these words were purely from my perspective.
"Don't worry, if Uncle Lei is gone, Liu Qingzhong will lose his last smuggling route."
I slowly said, "I need you to be a bastard."
"this……"
Xu Jinhe hesitated slightly and thought briefly, then understood my intention, "Before catching Liu Qingzhong, let him think that Uncle Lei's men are going to set up a new smuggling route, right?"
To a certain extent, Seo Jin Hyuk and I can achieve twice the result with half the effort by joining forces.
But I still don't want to rely too much on Seo Jin Hyuk - the lessons of the past are still in my heart.
"Before catching Liu Qingzhong, you assumed this role."
I nodded and said, "Li Jinming, help me contact Liu Qingzhong via video call."
With that said, Li Jinming opened my laptop and quickly contacted Liu Qingzhong.
"Secretary Liu."
"Why do you want to make a video call all of a sudden?"
Liu Qingzhong in the picture was a little irritable, and I saw that the desk behind him was quite messy.
Maybe because I was "doing it for him", he became a lot more indulgent.
"Now that we're on the phone, please tell me about Mei Ping's situation."
He pulled his collar, sat upright and spoke slowly.
"Before talking about Mei Ping, I want to tell you something... about Uncle Lei."
I said slowly and pulled Xu Jinhe beside me, "This is my friend Xu Jinhe, whom you have met before."
"Oh, come to think of it, you wanted to kill Tao Ronghua before, right?"
Liu Qingzhong smiled and said, "I remember Sun Zhanguo has been arrested. Why didn't you go in with him?"
"Thanks to Secretary Liu, I have been secretly working under Uncle Lei a long time ago."
Xu Jinhe slowly said, "However, Uncle Lei has some problems."
"question?"
Saying this, Liu Qingzhong frowned slightly, "Tell me something."
"Shen Fan, give those videos and recordings to him."
Xu Jinhe said, and transferred the captured things to Liu Qingzhong's mobile phone.
Then he continued, "Uncle Lei is forging the bottle and wants to keep the real one for himself."
"Why? Is this bottle really so powerful?"
Liu Qingzhong frowned more and more, and his eyes turned to me.
"This bottle should be unique in the entire Southern Song Dynasty."
"The 100 million offered over there is indeed worth the price."
I slowly said, "There is a story about the royal family of the Song Dynasty hidden behind this plum vase."
"oh?"
After hearing my preliminary appraisal, Liu Qingzhong immediately became interested, "Tell me about it?"
"I am only making a preliminary judgment, and I need to confirm it in detail after cleaning it."
I waved my hand slightly as I said, "Please take a look at those documents first."
After I finished speaking, Liu Qingzhong's face turned to the other side.
After reading it, his face turned red and there was anger in his eyes.
"Um... Xu... Xu Jinhyuk, right?"
"Thanks, if it weren't for you I might have received a fake bottle."
Liu Qingzhong nodded slightly as he spoke, expressing his gratitude.
"Actually... I have a merciless request."
Seo Jin Hyuk started acting as we agreed.
A good layout maker must be an excellent actor.
"I want to eat up Uncle Lei's business."
"We can carry out further business."
Xu Jinhe slowly said, "Shen Fan is my former friend, and I will not lie to him in any way."
"this……"
Liu Qingzhong hesitated after hearing these words.
He knew that Uncle Lei was quite powerful, and he could not simply agree to such a thing as Xu Jinhe.
Otherwise, if Xu Jinhe fails, his relationship with Uncle Lei will not be able to continue.
I can see this because now, except for Uncle Lei, I have basically eliminated the smuggling routes in Liu Qingzhong's hands - except for Li Jinming, the undercover agent.
"Why are you hesitating like this with Secretary Liu?"
I said and deliberately patted Xu Jinhyuk's shoulder.
Only then did he begin to "confess".
