When Ren Jian woke up, he felt that his neck hurt badly.

A dull ache pounded through his brain, reminding him that things weren't so good. But when he instinctively tried to reach out and touch his neck and rub his temples, he found that his hands couldn't move.

Or rather, the hands are tied.

An instinctive fear instantly took over his consciousness, quickly banishing the grogginess in his mind. His eyes widened as he found himself in a completely unfamiliar environment.

An empty room, the one with no windows on all sides, and a rough concrete floor underfoot. He sat in a coarse, solid wooden chair with his hands tied to the back of the chair.

In front of him were a few people he had never seen before—but even if he had never seen them, the malice in that look overflowed as if it were about to be sprayed. Everyone faced him with mockery and sneering expressions.

One of them was fiddling with something in his hand — and if Ren Jian was not mistaken, it was his phone. This is the latest model of a mobile phone that has just come out, and just a few days ago, he bought it to show off the "VIP limited edition". In fact, because the use time is still very short, Ren Jian has not fully understood the use of this new mobile phone, so he has not added the common password lock or something. To say that he happened to meet the other party in this place and bought this style, Ren Jian didn't believe it.

Without anyone's explanation, just rat-level intelligence, Ren Jian knew that he had encountered something that was impossible and he had never thought about: he had been kidnapped.

The security in W City, although not particularly good, is at least not particularly bad, right? Why was I kidnapped? But when I think about it, it doesn't seem to be a big deal. In a small place like Hong Kong, wouldn't a super businessman like Li Ka-shing still have his family kidnapped?

These people also noticed that Ren Jian had woken up. But they didn't say anything, and they didn't do anything. It's still how it should be, but the banter at the corners of the mouth is a little heavier. After a short while, one of them went out.

"Are you ......" Ren Jian waited for a long time, seeing that no one spoke, and finally couldn't hold back and spoke first.

Still no one answered, but the man who had been checking his phone before also looked away from the screen and looked at him with a malicious smile.

Three or four people smile at you with this expression, even if they haven't done anything yet, Ren Jian still feels a sense of creepy.

Damn, didn't you say that the security guards were perfect?" he cursed inwardly. But forget that the security focus is on protecting the auction items. The auction items are all upstairs, who would pay too much attention to the garage? Besides, people are obviously targeting this, even if they don't have a chance today, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow...... Sooner or later, there will be a chance - only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no thousand days to prevent thieves. Not to mention that Ren Jian didn't prevent it at all.

The guys didn't say a word...... It means that they are just minions. The person who really controls the big picture hasn't come out yet. Ren Jian raised his eyes and looked around, but unfortunately there were no windows here, and there was also the wall of the corridor outside the door, so it was really difficult to judge where he was at the moment. Even if he listened intently, he couldn't hear any superfluous sounds. This means that either the sound insulation on his side is very good, and the sound from the outside cannot come in. Either it means that he is in a very desolate and secluded place at the moment, so there is no sound.

However, looking at the rough and crude cement on the ground, Ren Jian thought that the latter was far more likely than the former.

After a while, when Ren Jian was a little suspicious, there was a sound of footsteps outside. Then, an old man appeared in front of Ren Jian, and the minion who had left before also appeared.

Saying that the old man is actually a little reluctant. The man looked to be in his fifties and sixties, with short hair, but he couldn't hide the gray hair. He did not have the kindness and gentleness of an old man of this age, on the contrary, his face was filled with a fierce aura. People can't help but think of some kind of beast.

"You are Ren Jian?" The old man was different from a few minions, and he spoke directly without hesitation.

Ren Jian could only nod.

"I hear," the old man then asked, "that you don't know where you got a lot of Hailao porcelain?"

Ren Jian was shocked. At the beginning, he and Lu Wu were worried that it would not be safe to let go of so many treasures, so they shot as fast as possible - as mentioned earlier, although there will definitely be a loss in terms of income, but anyway, there is not much left of Hailao porcelain at this time. Of course, from another point of view, the rest are more boutique types.

However, it should be noted that this "boutique" is the opinion of two laymen, Ren Jian and Lu Wu. Even now, after the words and deeds of experts, the appreciation level of the two people is really not high. So whether it is a boutique or not, and how much it is worth, their opinion actually does not count, and they must wait until the time to make a sale, and those experts can only draw conclusions.

It must be said that although the words of the experts in this world are not holy decrees, they are also of great guiding significance. It determines the grade and value level of the antique. An expert appraisals an antique worth 50,000 yuan may be able to sell for 100,000 yuan, but it is absolutely impossible to sell it for tens or millions of dollars. Vice versa. In normal buying and selling channels, antiques worth millions may be sold at a seven, eight, or even five percent discount, but it is impossible to fall to the level of hundreds of thousands or tens of thousands.

"I've almost sold out......," Ren Jian really regretted thinking about it now. Unexpectedly, things were almost over, and even he didn't think there was anything wrong with him, and the risk would still come to his door. But on the other hand, he was also glad that he had judged correctly and sold most of it in time. There's really nothing to be afraid of now.

"Hmph. The old man gave him a vicious look. "Do you know who I am?

He spoke in a very arrogant and confident tone, but in exchange for Ren Jian's blank gaze. Obviously, he didn't understand what "my surname is Kim" meant.

His eyes had been staring at Ren Jian's face just now, looking for even the slightest abnormality. But in fact he couldn't see anything. Either Ren Jian really didn't know it, or his acting ability had reached the level of a master.

"Play stupid for me?!" he tilted his head, and a subordinate next to him came over and landed a hard punch on Ren Jian's stomach. Don't look at Ren Jian's belly has gained a lot of weight during this time, but obviously the buffering effect of fat is deceiving. His body arched like a shrimp in pain, and tears and snot flowed down his face, but he couldn't move because his body was tied.

"You don't know who I am?" the old man bent down slightly this time and stared at Ren Jian fiercely.

X Nima, why do I want to know who you are? Ren Jian actually wanted to curse in his heart. But now he didn't even have the strength to speak, so he could only nod his head, indicating that what the other party said was very right, and he really hadn't heard of it.

"Do you remember, almost a year ago...... No, for more than half a year or so, a young man surnamed Jin has been looking for you?" the old man asked again.

X Nima, there are a lot of people who come to me! There are a few sponsors coming over at the two ends of the three days! Not to mention the surname Jin, the surname Yin, and the surname Tong, there are a lot of them! Lao Tzu is not a computer, he can remember them all! Of course, Ren Jian can only say these words in his stomach. He shook his head.

"That's my son...... I couldn't find him for more than half a year. The old man continued. Ren Jian's answer made a look of disappointment flash in his eyes. He thought he had found a clue, but he didn't expect it to fail. "The last news I got was that he went to look for you. But then he disappeared, and there was no news at all, as if he had evaporated from the world. I couldn't find it by all means. ”

Ren Jian was so angry. X's, when you are a bitch, you have to set up a memorial arch, kidnapping is kidnapping, and you have an irrelevant reason? Lao Tzu is not a policeman, your son is missing, and Lao Tzu is a shit? Why don't you say that your grandfather is dead and let me pay for my life? If this reason is valid, you can simply go all over the country and collect your grandfather's funeral money.

It's a pity that the situation is stronger than people, even though he scolded the other party's ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart, he didn't dare to say such things in his mouth. "I really don't know anything. ”

"Do you know why he came to you?"

"Why?" Ren Jian still couldn't figure it out. Looking at an old man with such a fierce look, he must be looking for me to blackmail, right? But in fact, this kind of thing is almost impossible -- is it really true that the current Chinese government eats white rice, and the name of the state apparatus is called for nothing? Maybe, just maybe, some ghost places where the emperor is far away are like this, and the so-called poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people. But in a city like W City, this situation is basically impossible.

"Because of your Hailao porcelain. The old man continued. "You just said that you sold almost?"

"It's almost sold out. Ren Jian hurriedly said. "I invested the money in the steel mill......"

The other party is obviously targeting him personally, so he will definitely grasp his movements - in fact, these Ren Jian are not confidential at all, and they can't be kept secret, as long as they bother a little, they can find out.

"How much is left?" the old man asked directly, ignoring him.

"And ...... Small table...... Dozens of pieces......"

"Where?"

"This ......" Ren Jian hesitated and did not answer for a while. The old man turned back and gestured to one of his men.

Having said that, Ren Jian, who takes becoming a profiteer as his ideal in life, is obviously not good in terms of will. In this regard, he is more than one or two grades lower than Lu Wu.

After a short while, he obediently confessed. It's in his company. Or to be more specific, in that large aquarium outside the company. The aquarium is filled with seawater (for which he also specially arranged, he had to pay a sum of money every month to entrust someone to change the water), so Hailao porcelain should be best protected in this environment.

The aquarium was huge, so you had to get it out at night when everyone else in the unit had left. Let go of some of the water first, and people can just climb in and get it. Ordinary thieves would never have imagined such a place. And even if you know, it's useless, because there is no special key, and there is no way to drain the seawater for salvage. If you break it out with brute force, the water will pour out and immediately set off an alarm. It is also an ingenious anti-theft idea.
