At this moment, any words seem inadequate.

A complete roll, consecutive serial numbers, in perfect condition, and very likely from the first batch of border region stamps printed and issued...

Xin Quan felt like her heart was about to jump out of her chest, and her brain went blank due to information overload.

Even though he had seen all sorts of rare and exotic treasures in the live stream, his CPU was about to burn out at this moment.

However, Shen Wang was getting a little impatient.

No, stop being so shocked, say something!

"Can you give me a straight answer? How much is this thing actually worth?"

Startled awake by Shen Wang's displeased tone, Xin Quan trembled and quickly composed herself.

"Brother, don't worry! I'll tell you, I'll tell you right away!"

Brother Quan struggled to organize his thoughts and said, "Ordinary, later-issued border region stamps in average condition might be worth a few hundred yuan for a one-yuan stamp, while those in better condition could even reach over a thousand yuan!"

Actually, this price isn't that high.

A one-yuan border region stamp was equivalent to a one-yuan silver dollar, and silver dollars in good condition were worth around a thousand yuan.

But you should know that paper money is much harder to preserve than silver coins.

Moreover, the number of border area stamps issued and surviving is far less than that of silver dollars, and there are very few stamps in such good condition that are worth thousands of dollars!

Then, Xin Quan added, "But something like yours, in top condition, consecutive serial numbers, and possibly even a first edition..."

"Conservatively speaking, this stack of [items] is worth at least... 150,000 to 200,000 RMB!"

"With the right buyer, reaching 300,000 is not impossible!"

This price wasn't particularly shocking to Xin Quan, who was used to seeing exorbitantly priced antiques.

He was shocked by the item itself, not by its price.

A price of 100,000 to 200,000 yuan was not considered an astronomical figure even in the antique trade during the Republic of China era.

however--

Shen Wang's reaction was completely different!

"Tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands... in a stack?"

He repeated it in a low voice, his expression becoming somewhat strange.

On its own, the price doesn't seem too high, but the problem is—

Shen Wang subconsciously turned his gaze to the two seemingly ordinary boxes next to him.

That place contained a full 100,000 sheets!

A whole thousand stacks!

Even if it's 100,000 per stack, that's still... 100 million?

Xin Quan followed Shen Wang's gaze and looked at the two boxes.

At first, he didn't pay much attention to it, only thinking that it was a box with the style of an old object from the Republic of China era.

But at this moment, considering Shen Wang's meaningful gaze, and remembering that the other party had just casually taken the border region tickets from those two boxes...

"hiss--!"

"No...no way?!"

"Could it be...could it be that these two boxes...are filled with...all of them...?"

"Are they all like this... first batch, consecutive numbers, in perfect condition... border area tickets?"

Xin Quan felt her legs were a little weak.

Having even one such top-quality border region ticket is already incredibly rare; imagine having two large boxes of them...

Xin Quan dared not think any further.

Shen Wang also noticed Xin Quan's unusual behavior and quickly interrupted her various wild speculations.

"Ahem, it's getting late, you haven't eaten yet, have you? How about I treat you to a meal?"

Anyone with a normal ear can tell from that tone that the speaker isn't offering to treat guests, but rather saying goodbye.

Xin Quan could tell from that, and quickly said, "No...no need, brother, we..."

He was about to say goodbye and leave when suddenly, he stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence.

"We...we'd like to invite you, brother!"

"It's already an honor for us to meet you, how could we let you treat us! It's on us, it's on us!"

Got it!

What else could Shen Wang say?

Besides, he was also hungry!

"Let's go then..."

. . .

at the same time.

Shanshui Manor, a tea room with excellent privacy.

Qi Tongwei, the deputy leader of the Han University Gang, and Gao Xiaoqin, the boss of the Shanshui Group, are having a secret rendezvous here.

Qi Tongwei had just taken a sip of the fine Pu'er tea when his personal cell phone, which was placed to the side, rang.

Seeing that the caller ID showed a number from his hometown, Qi Tongwei casually pressed the answer button.

"Hey, third brother, what's up?" The voice carried a hint of barely perceptible authority.

A frantic, slightly aggrieved voice came from the other end of the phone: "Brother, something terrible has happened! Something's wrong!"

"Fifth Brother... he had a little conflict with someone in Luzhou. They were almost at an agreement, and the other party was willing to pay compensation..."

"But for some reason, the Luzhou City Public Security Bureau suddenly intervened, not only releasing the other party but also detaining Lao Wu!"

"They said he violated the rules and they're going to punish him! What... what should we do?"

Qi Tongwei's face instantly darkened.

"Don't rush, speak slowly and explain things clearly!"

Then, the third brother recounted the whole story of the conflict at the bar in great detail.

After listening, Qi Tongwei was even more confused.

This is a case that couldn't be more tiny!

It doesn't even qualify as a case!

Moreover, the other party also expressed their willingness to pay compensation, but the price had not yet been agreed upon. Why did the Luzhou Municipal Bureau suddenly take action?

"Okay, I understand."

Qi Tongwei's voice turned colder: "Let me ask about the situation."

After hanging up the phone from his hometown, Qi Tongwei did not hesitate at all and immediately dialed the mobile phone of a key person in charge of the Luzhou Public Security Bureau.

Once he reaches his position, many things don't need to be done in a roundabout way.

"It's me, Qi Tongwei."

It gets straight to the point, carrying an undeniable sense of pressure.

"I heard something happened over there? What happened? Kids don't know any better, they need to be taught a lesson, but you have to be careful how you do it."

It was very bureaucratic.

Immediately afterwards, a helpless voice came from the other end: "Director Qi, you're talking about your fifth brother, right..."

"This matter was personally instructed by Secretary Sha to be handled in accordance with the law and regulations. Why don't you give Secretary Sha a call..."

Did Secretary Sha personally give the instructions?

boom!

These words exploded in Qi Tongwei's mind like a thunderclap!

"Okay...okay, I understand."

Qi Tongwei managed to keep his tone steady as he hung up the phone.

But after putting down his phone, his expression turned extremely unpleasant.

Sha Ruijin!

It was actually Sha Ruijin who gave the order!

For such a trivial matter?

How is that possible?

As for suggesting he call Sha Ruijin to inquire about the situation, that's a joke!

Does he even deserve it?

"Director, what's wrong? You look so pale."

Gao Xiaoqin, who had been quietly brewing tea beside her, keenly noticed the unusual behavior of the person next to her and asked softly.

Today, Ms. Gao was dressed in a plain-colored home outfit, exuding a gentle and refined air, completely different from the shrewd and capable businesswoman that was rumored to be hers.

Qi Tongwei took a deep breath and briefly explained the matter, especially emphasizing the words "personally instructed by Secretary Sha".

Upon hearing this, Gao Xiaoqin's pretty face instantly changed color, and the teapot in her hand trembled slightly, almost causing her to drop it.

"Secretary Sha? He... how could he possibly care about such a trivial matter?"
