Chapter 517 Hole Cards
"No ......"
After hearing Anna's explanation, Zheng Bei vaguely felt that something was wrong. He said, "Mr. Anna, what you said earlier ......"
Anna said: "That's what I said before, it's up to me to prove the antiques you want to use, and there are no other problems after I get them." What it was when the seller sold it to me, and what it still looks like now. As for its completeness, I cannot guarantee it. ”
"This ......"
Zheng Bei wanted to refute, but he couldn't. This is also the fact that when Willis raised that question at the beginning, he did mean to ask Anna to prove that there was no problem with the antiques used by Zheng Bei. However, when Anna later announced this matter, he quietly changed the words in it, and incidentally changed the concept between the two.
If there were dead words, then what Anna was asking for and what Willis asked for was not the same thing at all. But if you look at it in a big sense, it's all about proving that "there is no problem with antiques", so there is no big difference.
Now, Anna is just picking at words.
"Nikolai ......"
After realizing that Anna was playing the trick of stealing the concept, the expression on Willis's face was not good. He looked at Anna and said with a smile: "Nikolai, even if it is what you say, then how do you prove it? Who knows if there is any agreement between you and the seller? ”
Anna frowned, looking very hurt, and said, "Your statement is really hurtful, I am very hurt...... You can rest assured that I can prove your doubts. As long as your assistant, Mr. Zheng, chooses an antique first, I can prove it for him. ”
"Ha ......"
Willis looked at Anna, and he gritted his teeth secretly: "I hope so." ”
After saying this, he gave Zheng Bei a look and motioned for him to make a choice. In this case, you can only play according to the rules of Anna's game first. But if Anna's rules of the game were problematic, Willis wouldn't have given up.
Seeing that Willis couldn't help it, Zheng Bei had no choice but to do this: "Okay, Mr. Anna, I decided to choose this Inca altar as the item to be restored at my party." Now, can you prove to me that there were no other problems with this item after you bought it. ”
As soon as Zheng Bei's voice fell, Willis was already ready, just waiting for Anna to say the seller's name, and then began to question Anna about whether Anna and the seller had reached an agreement. This kind of thing is originally said by two people, and it is difficult to prove whether what two people say is true. If Willis completely muddies this puddle of water, then even if Anna can find the seller at the time to confront him face-to-face, it will not be of much use.
Questioning this thing is the cheapest way to attack other people. There is no need to provide evidence, just to try to find out what can be questioned in these matters based on some existing facts, and that is enough. Skeptics do not need to provide evidence, they only need to ask questions one by one. And if the questioned person does not have strong evidence, he will often be overwhelmed by the doubter.
It's hard to find a solid evidence for something like this. Therefore, if Willis attacks Anna on the question of whether Anna and the seller have reached some kind of agreement, it is easy for Anna to be unable to prove his innocence, thus muddying the waters.
Both of them paid so much attention to Anna that they temporarily ignored Zheng Zheng on the side, and they couldn't find the smile that appeared on the corner of Zheng Zheng's mouth after Zheng Bei decided what to choose.
On the night of the party, Zheng Bei's hand of playing with strength really made Zheng Zheng want to praise Zheng Bei from the bottom of his heart. And after Willis put forward his own request, it can be regarded as a response to Zheng Bei and a tribute to Zheng Bei, and Zheng Zheng is also ready to play with his strength.
It is obvious to prove to Zheng Bei that an antique can definitely be restored, which is not good, because it will reduce the difficulty too much. And what Willis said at the time, which was intended to point to the antiques that Anna took out for Zheng Bei to restore, is likely to have been manipulated by Anna. From this point, Zheng Zheng really got some inspiration.
If Willis were to attack Anna at this point, he would be attacking Anna from the point of view of the possible private transaction between Anna and the seller. If she wanted to solve this problem, Anna would have to find a seller that Willis couldn't question, or that he didn't dare to question.
On the day of the party, before Anna announced that he would accept Zheng Bei's request and make a guarantee, Zheng Zheng talked to Anna about this issue. And Anna searched the sellers in her memory, and really found such a person.
"Isn't there a problem with proving that this Inca altar is fine...... No problem, no problem. ”
Anna smiled lightly, then turned to Willis and asked, "Willis, is your father's health okay lately?"
This question is really clueless, and Willis frowned at what he asked, he really didn't understand, he was talking about proving that antiques were okay, how could it be related to his father......
Although he didn't know why Anna asked, Willis replied, "Thank you for your concern, he's in good health." ”
Anna didn't have the consciousness to talk about important things at all, but seemed to be doing a homely thing, and started a homely routine with the person who was least likely to do a homely thing: "It's good to be in good health, it's good to be in good health...... Your father is nearly 80 years old this year, and at this age, good health is better than anything else. Alas, I remember that I grew up listening to legends about your father, about your father's early adventures. Wow...... I have to say, Willis, when we were all little children, your father was simply the idol of all the children in all of Rome. ”
Willis listened a little impatiently, but Anna has been saying good things about his father, and Willis can't interrupt them, right?" he smiled reluctantly and said perfunctorily, "Thank you." ”
"Hmm...... I remember there were several people on the expedition with your father, and one of them was named something, and your father was the best friend. His name is ...... Call...... Oh, I remember, Belize Walker, that's the name. According to the version I heard when I was a child, he and your father were real friends in life and death, and in countless dangerous moments, either your father saved him or he saved your father, and it still makes people's blood rush when they think about it now. ”
After a pause, Anna asked as if inquiring about gossip: "By the way, I have been hearing about something before, but I can't confirm whether this news is true or not, now I just want to ask you...... It is said that Belize Walker lost an eye to save your father?"
Willis nodded and said, "Yes, it's true." ”
"Oh......"
Anna looked very clear, he nodded, and the words changed sharply, as if with emotion: "You said that people who have lost an eye will be more inconvenient no matter what they do......, right? Wouldn't it be a bit disrespectful to let him come and confront me face to face? Forget it, let's wait until we have a chance to see him together, I haven't seen him for a long time......
Anna was talking to herself, but Willis on the other side was listening to it. He was stunned for a while, then pointed to the pile of stones with some sluggishness, and said blankly, "You mean...... This Inca altar, he sold it to you?"
Anna smiled, but at this moment, his smile was clearly with great malice in Willis's eyes: "That's right. This Inca altar was sold to me by Belize Walker. Well...... I shouldn't have told him about it, because I promised to keep it a secret for Mr. Walker. But your father and he are friends of life and death, so it won't be too much of a problem to tell you about it. ”
At this, Anna asked with concern, "So, can you find time now?" we can now go to Mr. Belize Walker and talk to him about the Inca altar. It only takes two hours to go back and forth, so it won't take up a lot of your time. ”
"Ha ......"
Willis smiled more ugly than crying, and said in a dry voice: "It's not early, let's not disturb an old man...... I don't need you to come with me, I'll give Uncle Walker a call tomorrow and that's it. ”
"Uh-huh...... You can also. Don't forget to say hello to Mr. Walker for me. ”
With that, Anna clapped her hands and said, "So, Willis, is there anything we can't solve?" ”
“…… Oh, no...... There is no ......"
Willis was a little distracted, and it took him a while for Anna to finish his sentence before he could react. After answering Anna's call, Willis glanced at his watch, and then forced a smile: "It's not too early, we won't bother, goodbye." ”
Anna asked intimately, "Well, doesn't Mr. Zheng have to take another look? ”
With such a large pile of stones, Zheng Bei can't see them in an hour or two, just moving these stones and laying them on the ground is a matter of killing time, so in Zheng Bei, it doesn't make much difference whether he looks at it or not. He is still very confident in his ability to be on the spot, and he may spend a little more time at tomorrow's party, but there will not be too many problems.
Even if you can't spell it...... Zheng Zheng and Anna can't guarantee it, and they can't even say that they don't know if this thing is complete or not. When the time comes, if you make a fuss about this, it will definitely be effective.
As for Willis, Zheng Bei didn't know why he reacted so much, and wondered if it was because that Belize Walker was a good friend of his father, and he didn't know the reason for the deal between Walker and Anna.
