The moment he saw the Jade Guanyin, Luo Tian's expression was stiff.

This jade Guanyin was carved by his own hands, and it took him three years of hard work, which can almost be regarded as his pinnacle work.

Luo Tian didn't move the wooden box, just stared at the jade Guanyin, and he was sure that it was his own work.

After a moment of deep silence, Luo Tian said: "If it is only in terms of skills, this is already the pinnacle of the old life, if you abandon the carving skills and ideas, only in terms of material, it is just an ordinary jadeite, although it is a very high ice species, but the green is very shallow," pointed to the lotus seat of the jade Guanyin and the willow branch in the jade net bottle: "You see, there is only such a little green." ”

Ye Ning had already noticed it the moment he saw the Jade Guanyin, this was a whole piece of jadeite carving, but the real jade green was very rare, only a thin layer of rosette skin and a little willow branch, and the petals on the rosette were pure white, that is to say, if it was not carved into a statue of Guanyin, this piece of jade was actually a piece of waste and not worth a few dollars.

With a slight movement in his heart, Ye Ning said: "Old man, this piece of jade was cut out, right?" ”

Luo Tian glanced at Ye Ning, but still nodded: "Yes, it was a customer who cut it out of the rough stone by himself." ”

Chen Ying smiled slightly when she heard this, she naturally understood what Ye Ning meant: "I don't know how much that rough stone is worth?" ”

Luo Tian laughed and teased: "The rough stone is sold by kilograms, and it can be worth a few dollars." ”

Chen Ying was not fooled, and pretended to be stunned and said: "In this way, this Jade Guanyin is not worth a few dollars?" ”

When Luo Tian heard this, his face immediately stiffened, and he glared and said: "Jade is jade, but Jade Guanyin is Jade Guanyin." ”

Chen Ying pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Since this is the case, I want to trouble Luo Lao to produce an appraisal document." ”

Luo Tian hesitated and shook his head, frowned, and said, "This Jade Guanyin has already issued an appraisal certificate, and it is impossible to issue another one." ”

Chen Ying naturally knew that this Jade Guanyin already had an appraisal, and her purpose today was not to really need any appraisal, but to confirm the value of this Jade Guanyin, and it must be the most authoritative appraisal, Luo Tian was naturally the best candidate.

It's just that Luo Tian's attitude made her feel very puzzled, obviously reluctant to do anything about this Jade Guanyin, and even didn't want to talk about it, which even Ye Ning and Guo Fei'er noticed.

Ye Ning said with a smile: "In fact, in terms of material alone, this piece of jadeite is worth tens of thousands of dollars, but after Luo Lao skillfully carved and chiseled, with only this exquisite idea and exquisite skills, there is no problem with three or five million!" ”

Luo Tian looked at Ye Ning meaningfully, and then said a little unnaturally: "Shuyuzhai is a place to do business, and some rules must be followed...... In fact...... It's not worth that much, and to be fair, more than two million is still more appropriate. ”

Ye Ning nodded knowingly, and didn't say more, with Luo Tian's words, today's purpose can be regarded as achieved.

Chen Ying didn't expect such a result, although it was somewhat unexpected, but finally did not run in vain, and after a few polite words, he got up to say goodbye, and Luo Tian obviously didn't mean to talk about it, so the three of them quickly left Shuyuzhai.

"Xiao Ye, do you know this Master Luo from Shuyuzhai?" As soon as she went out, Chen Ying couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Well," Ye Ning didn't explain much, but frowned and said, "Director, you were introduced by an acquaintance?" ”

"Yes," Chen Ying nodded, "One of my college classmates introduced me, what's wrong?" ”

"Director, don't you think Luo Tian's attitude is very strange? And a quote from what he said. ”

"What?" Chen Ying was slightly stunned when she heard this. …,

"Soyuzhai is a place to do business, and there are some rules that you still have to follow." Ye Ning sighed, "That classmate of yours must know your identity and purpose today, right?" ”

"Uh......" Chen Ying was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Sun Tong...... Oh, it's the college classmate who introduced me, who works in the municipal party committee and is the director of the municipal party committee office, of course she knows that I work in the discipline inspection committee, do you mean ......? ”

"The director of the Municipal Party Committee Office," Ye Ning sighed, shook his head slightly, and said: "A place like Shuyuzhai, because the business is basically expensive jade, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, etc., and the customers are either rich or expensive, and there are many taboos, so the information of customers is generally kept confidential, not to mention, Master Luo Tian must have known the purpose of our trip." ”

Chen Ying couldn't help but be silent, she wasn't stupid, Ye Ning said it so explicitly, if she still couldn't understand the secrets, she wouldn't be worthy of being the director of the Second Discipline Inspection and Supervision Department.

Yes, Sun Tong is indeed the director of the Municipal Party Committee Office, but at the same time, she is also Luo Tian's daughter-in-law, if it weren't for this relationship, she would not have entrusted her way, and ran to Shuyuzhai to identify the value of Jade Guanyin, thinking of the case involved in this Jade Guanyin, Chen Ying suddenly woke up, Sun Tong's younger brother Sun Rui, isn't he the deputy county magistrate of Nanping County.

Thinking about the joints, Chen Ying couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in her heart, taking over this case, she still had some small abacus of her own, and even considered many details clearly, but unexpectedly, someone took advantage of the loophole, and if she didn't do it, she would make wedding clothes for others.

There is a distance of about four or five hundred meters from Shuyuzhai to the parking place at the entrance of the street, the antique street is not very spacious, and the streets are full of all kinds of large and small vendors on both sides, and the sidewalks in the middle seem to be more and more congested, not to mention all kinds of vehicles mixed in, especially motorcycles and small three-wheeled motorcycles.

Although Ming'an City has long banned motorcycles from driving within the Second Ring Road, in addition to being enforced on the main street, other places still go their own way, such as antique street, there are still motorcycles unscrupulously passing through it from time to time, most of these people are some illegal street ruffians, but few people can manage.

Suspecting that he was being used, Chen Ying's mood was a little bad, and he walked a little faster unconsciously, followed by Ye Ning and Guo Fei'er unconsciously staggered a few more positions with Chen Ying, which was originally a normal thing in the antique street, if it was a slightly spacious block, it was no problem for the three of them to always keep parallel, but it was not easy to keep the antique street.

There was the roar of the engine behind him, Ye Ning knew that another motorcycle was coming, and subconsciously flashed to the side, and at the same time reached out and pulled Guo Fei'er's arm, this kind of place, if you are really rubbed by a motorcycle, it will be in vain, there is no place to be reasonable, Ye Ning has not encountered this kind of thing in the antique street before.

Sure enough, a motorcycle without any license plate rushed out from behind the two, almost brushing Guo Fei'er's body and whistling past, the two people in the car were wearing helmets, arrogant, but it was difficult to distinguish between male and female.

Guo Fei'er was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she couldn't help but spit: "Neurotic!" ”

Ye Ning smiled, patted Guo Fei'er's shoulder, and said, "Don't be afraid, in fact, these guys are at a high level." ”

Before the words fell, the faces of the two changed at the same time, only to see that when the motorcycle passed by Chen Ying, the person sitting in the back seat deftly stretched out his right hand and gently hooked it, and took off Chen Ying's satchel, the absent-minded Chen Ying was dragged by the motorcycle and stumbled, almost fell to the ground, and couldn't help but let out an exclamation, but the motorcycle got into the crowd in the blink of an eye.

Ye Ning and Guo Fei'er were shocked, Chen Ying's satchel not only contained the Jade Guanyin, but also important files. …,

When she first arrived at the reception room of Shuyuzhai, Chen Ying told Ye Ning and Guo Fei'er that the two of them had been transferred to the task force, and they were going to rush to Nanping County with her today to conduct a preliminary review of a major corruption case, and they came to Shuyuzhai just by the way.

Jade Guanyin is an important piece of evidence, and there are also very important archival materials on Chen Ying.

Therefore, seeing Chen Ying's satchel being robbed, the two spoke almost at the same time: "It's broken!" "Chase!"

The two ran two steps to support Chen Ying, but their eyes were chasing the motorcycle that jumped into the crowd.

"Leave me alone! Chase! ”

Chen Ying shouted hoarsely, and pushed Ye Ning without thinking.

Ye Ning naturally knew the consequences of being robbed of the satchel, but the two-wheeled motorcycle had already run out of twenty or thirty meters away, and the roaring engine sound made the pedestrians on the street dodge one after another, and they were about to disappear into the crowd.

Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Ning picked up the laptop bag on his shoulder and smashed it without hesitation, this was a new notebook worth more than 20,000 yuan, which he threw out like a brick.

The notebook bag crossed the space of twenty or thirty meters, and it just smashed on the elbow of the motorcyclist, and the head of the motorcycle shook when it landed, hanging several pedestrians who had dodged to the side of the road to the ground, and the front of the car became more and more unstable, and rushed to the other side slowly, and the nearby crowd was a mess, and several people were headless and brainless and hugged together with the motorcycle.

When Ye Ning chased after him, the motorcycle had already rolled over on its side, but the driver jumped up and got into the chaotic crowd first, but the one who was sitting in the back seat and grabbed the bag was pressed by the motorcycle with a thigh, and he couldn't struggle for a while, Ye Ning stepped on the person's neck with his foot, and reached out to take Chen Ying's satchel in his hand first.

At this time, a person who was also wearing a helmet suddenly popped out of the crowd on the street, his movements were very agile, holding a hollow steel pipe more than two feet long in his hand, grabbed Ye Ning behind him, raised the steel pipe without hesitation, and smashed it down on the back of Ye Ning's head.

"Be careful!"

Guo Fei'er's exclamation suddenly came from afar, mixed with the exclamations of the people around him, Ye Ning knew that it was not good, and it was too late to dodge, the heavy sound of the wind entered his ears, and then he had a pain in the back of his head, and he fell to the ground.
