"Okay, you can talk now."
"Ms. Deng, I am Captain Li Jinming from the Public Security Management Department, and this is deputy captain Qian Jia."
Li Jinming spoke very seriously, "I heard from Shen Fan and Han Shijin that your family may be in danger and we can help."
"You can't help!"
Deng Xi's face suddenly showed panic.
"Is it related to loan sharking?"
"Now loan sharks will be severely punished, it doesn't matter."
I followed Deng Xi's logic in saying that Ding Shi used to be a loan shark boss and spoke directly.
"No...it's not."
Deng Xi shook his head and said, "I can provide you with information but..."
She lowered her head, her eyes filled with hope but also helplessness.
Based on this, I can judge that Deng Xi's family probably has some big problem, and Ding Shi is holding them back.
If the Public Security Bureau finds out, they will probably arrest him directly.
"Team Lee."
I said, shaking my head slightly.
"Well, if you need anything, you can ask Shen Fan to contact me."
Li Jinming sighed slightly and could only nod, "This batch of equipment belongs to the Public Security Management Office. We need to go back for inspection. Do you have any objections?"
"No."
"and this."
Deng Xi said and took off the hidden earphones from his ears.
"Thank you for your cooperation."
Li Jinming took the equipment and left the private room.
"Now that the people from the Public Security Bureau are gone, can't you tell me what leverage you have against Ding Shi?"
I plan to try again, after all she still wants to ask for help.
Maybe having the Public Security Bureau intervene all of a sudden would irritate him.
"I...can I talk about it later?"
Deng Xi was still hesitant.
"Shen Fan, can I speak normally?"
Han Shijin on the side said, "I think it's better to go back to the hotel now."
"No, go to your third uncle's hall."
I thought about it and said, "Consider these glasses as my gift to your father."
"Ah? Isn't it capped at 400,000?"
Under Han Shijin's surprised eyes, I told him my previous judgment.
"One million? Such a pair of small cups?"
"Okay, stay at the bar for a while, and I'll go find my third uncle."
He said and started to pick up the wine glass, "Such good wine cannot be wasted!"
It was quiet in the private room, and it didn't look like a noisy bar. I also drank a glass of wine to relax myself.
Afterwards, the four of us took a car to the hall of Han Shijin’s third uncle, Han Chen.
"Why do you have time to come to my place?"
"Did something happen again? Your father just gave you more than 100 million, what happened?"
When Han Chen saw us coming, he went out to greet us and just asked.
I can only tell the truth honestly. The 130 million was borrowed.
"This is mine... considered an apology."
I said and asked Han Shijin to take out the glass cup.
"Yo...this is a good thing, I have to take a closer look."
"Liu Li Bei, there is someone in charge of me who is good at it."
Han Chen said, leading us into the hall.
He called all his experts over for a "three-division review."
"Shen Fan, what is your judgment?"
While the experts were looking at the glass cups, he walked up to me.
"The thing is real, but I feel like the pattern on it could be a little more polished."
I slowly said, "The monolithic glass cup from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty is fine. I accepted it for 400,000 yuan."
Of course, I also told him that I was not particularly proficient in glass cups, but I just felt something unusual about engraving.
This is based on the fact that the thing is real. If the engraving is simply unusual, it may be a modern work of art.
Han Chen nodded slightly, and then went to their experts to discuss.
"No way?"
"you sure?"
Following Han Chen's two exclamations, I knew this thing must be famous.
"How about it?"
I asked with some concern.
"Shen Fan, you have really found a treasure."
Han Chen laughed.
After listening to his explanation, I probably understood the reason for the unusual engraving.
This is a court skill, but the cup itself is made by the people - the high officials find people from the people to make it.
It just so happened that this person had a master who escaped from the palace, so his techniques were very close to those of the palace.
To say it is close is because it has some minor "flaws" compared to palace products.
"If the age is confirmed, this pair of cups should cost around 1.5 million."
Han Chen nodded to me with great appreciation.
"Then here we are, this pair of cups is my thank you gift."
I said and stood up slowly, "One hundred and thirty million, and I will return it to you intact."
With that said, the four of us left the antique shop and returned to the hotel.
My room is not monitored, so the four of us are sitting here.
"There is no surveillance here, Deng Xi, should you confess?"
"Including your identity and your family."
Seeing that Deng Xi's mood was stable, I realized that this might be an opportunity, so I slowly spoke.
"I...my family..."
Deng Xi frowned as he spoke, feeling slightly unstable.
It seemed that it had indeed touched some deep memories that she didn't want to recall.
"My parents..."
"My brother..."
"I……"
She was incoherent and didn't know where to start for a moment, and then she burst into tears.
Han Shijin looked at this coquettish scene and almost stepped forward to teach him a lesson, but fortunately I stopped him.
After a long while, he took a deep breath, and his face looked a bit broken after losing everything.
"My name is Deng Xi, just a girl from an ordinary family."
She began to introduce herself.
Originally she had a pretty happy family.
But all this happiness was shattered in one day.
One day, Deng Xi's father lost his job, and then he borrowed a loan shark without telling the family, pretending that he had a salary every month.
However, usury is not like an ordinary loan. What you borrow is simply not enough to repay.
Loan sharks are famous for their high interest rates.
Then came the familiar interest compounding and debt collection.
Deng Xi's father couldn't stand the mental pressure of debt collection and committed suicide, and his mother also became crazy and committed suicide on a winter night.
Huge debts were placed on her and her brother.
Those debt collectors saw that Deng Xi and her brother were still young, so they came to trouble them again and again.
I don't know whether they were attracted to Deng Xi or just on a whim. They wanted to violate Deng Xi during a debt collection.
She resisted, but her brother picked up the flower pot next to him and smashed the person to death.
Naturally, the matter was not over yet. Their boss, Ding Shi, stood up. Seeing that Deng Xi was still young and beautiful, he used Deng Xi's younger brother as a threat and held her captive.
"I beg you, please don't tell the Sheriff's Department about this!"
"I can do anything, I...I don't want my brother to go to jail."
After Deng Xi said this, there was a pleading look on his face.
