Tomb Raider: Evolution of the Red Dragon, Starting from the Ancient City of Jingjue
Chapter 616 The Old Sly One
Following behind Lao Wang, the group arrived at an antique shop that looked very old.
Jiang Hua glanced at the piece of wood beside him and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. This piece of wood was no ordinary thing.
If it were sold outside, it would definitely fetch a good price, but this owner just left it outside.
Upon entering the antique shop, a fragrant aroma wafted towards him, causing Jiang Hua to involuntarily furrow his brow.
Jiang Hua couldn't stand the smell, but she forced herself to endure the discomfort and went inside. At that moment, the owner of the restaurant also came out.
The boss was wearing an ancient-style hat and a Zhongshan suit; if you didn't know better, you'd think he was an old man from ancient times.
"This is my second uncle. He prefers his old clothes and style, so please don't find it strange."
Jiang Hua nodded and looked at her second uncle.
It was easy to tell from his attire and his eyes that the old man did indeed have some knowledge of antiques, so Jiang Hua's concerns were dispelled.
"Didn't you say you were bringing something? Why did you bring a whole bunch of people? If I had known you were bringing people, I wouldn't have let you come."
Second Uncle seemed quite displeased with the arrival of Jiang Hua, Qin Feng, and the others.
The second uncle sized up Jiang Hua and Qin Feng beside him, and when he saw Jiang Hua's face, he couldn't help but frown.
"Young man, haven't I seen you before?"
The second uncle stepped forward and looked at Jiang Hua with some suspicion.
Jiang Hua was puzzled by what her second uncle said. She knew that this was the first time she had met her second uncle, so why did he say that he had met her before?
"This must be the first time I've met you, sir."
After thinking for a while, Jiang Hua spoke to his second uncle.
"Then I must have mistaken you for someone else. There was another person who looked a lot like you who came here before, and I mistook you for that person."
After thinking for a while, the second uncle turned to look at Old Wang next to him.
"The treasure you're talking about must be something they possess, right? Is there something they want to show me?"
After finishing speaking, the second uncle turned to look at Jiang Hua beside him.
Jiang Hua nodded after hearing this, and then took out the treasures they had brought out earlier from behind her.
"I've never seen this treasure before. If it's convenient for you, could you come inside with me? It's really hard to see these treasures clearly from the outside."
After watching for a while, Old Wang looked very seriously at Jiang Hua, Qin Feng, and the others in front of him and said,
Hearing what his second uncle said, Jiang Hua nodded and followed him into the room.
"This thing can probably sell for this price."
The second uncle pointed his finger at Jiang Hua, Qin Feng, and the others.
Qin Feng, standing nearby, was so excited by the price his second uncle was gesturing that he almost jumped up.
“There’s no problem with this price.” Jiang Hua nodded in agreement.
It was clear that the second uncle in front of them wasn't scheming against them, but genuinely wanted to buy these treasures from them.
Therefore, Jiang Hua naturally did not continue to bargain with him.
"The problem is that all of your treasures are priced at roughly the same level, and I don't have that much money to spare right now. If you trust me, you can come with me to the museum; perhaps they can offer you a better price there."
After thinking for a moment, Uncle turned to Jiang Hua and Qin Feng and said to them. Hearing the word "museum," Jiang Hua couldn't help but frown. If they went to the museum, things wouldn't be so simple.
Troublesome things will follow one after another, and Jiang Hua and Qin Feng won't have much time to deal with them.
"Of course I know how you got these treasures, and I know you don't want to run into so much trouble. If you trust me, you can hand these things over to me, and I'll take care of them for you. You can just wait to collect your money."
"Then let's think about it before we come over."
Jiang Hua listened and put the treasures back into his bag. His second uncle nodded and did not stop him.
"Then you should go back and think about it first. Besides, I know that you can produce more than just these things."
Second Uncle is a shrewd old fox, how could he not know how Jiang Hua obtained these things?
After leaving the antique shop, Old Wang looked at Jiang Hua and Qin Feng and the others with a bit of embarrassment.
“If you don’t want to handle these things here, I will respect that. I’m just providing a channel. My second uncle also knows people at the museum. If you go through him, he can give you a good price. Although the process will be a bit more complicated, it’s still trustworthy.”
Hearing what Lao Wang said, Jiang Hua nodded, indicating that he already knew.
"Give us your contact information first, and I'll get back to you later. As for the things you needed us to prove for you, we'll need to consider that as well."
Jiang Hua thought for a while and then said to Old Wang next to him.
Hearing Jiang Hua say this, Old Wang couldn't help but hang his head in dejection, as if he had heard Jiang Hua reject him.
But Jiang Hua couldn't care less about that now, so he took Qin Feng and Yun and left Old Wang's sight.
"Why don't you help him? He looks so crippled, he doesn't seem like a broken man. Besides, I know his second uncle. Although he doesn't know me, I know he's quite well-known in this industry."
Qin Feng immediately stepped forward and asked Jiang Hua. Jiang Hua first turned her head slightly to look at Lao Wang behind her, and then said to Qin Feng and Yun, "Yes, sir."
"Didn't you notice? There were other people in the antique shop, and this person was staring at us with ill intent. It's normal that you didn't notice, since he was always there spying on us."
After Jiang Hua finished speaking, Qin Feng and Yun couldn't help but gasp.
They hadn't realized they'd been spied on, and now that they did, they broke out in a cold sweat.
"So what do we do now? Those people aren't up to any good, are they? And the fact that the boss let them go to another room means that the boss must know that person."
Qin Feng said to Jiang Hua in front of him with some concern.
Hearing what Qin Feng said, Jiang Hua nodded, as this was also something Jiang Hua was worried about.
That's why Jiang Hua left the antique shop without continuing to talk to his second uncle.
After returning to the hotel, Jiang Hua put her belongings back into her suitcase. (End of Chapter)
