Li Chengran was a little dumbfounded after hearing the old man's self-introduction, this Mr. Zhou is the son of Mr. Zhou, the previous collector of this gilded Maitreya Buddha statue, according to Li Chengran's understanding, more than 40 years ago, Mr. Zhou was criticized and robbed of his home, and finally died in prison, probably in his fifties, if he lived to this time, he should also be a centenarian, the old man in front of him who claimed to be Mr. Zhou's son was about seventy years old, and his age was also the same, seeing that he was so familiar with this gilded Maitreya Buddha statue, the old man should not lie to her.

Although it was an accident, Li Chengran thought quickly in his mind, and felt that even if the old man wanted to buy back this bronze statue, there should be no loss for the Li family, and didn't the other party say just now that he was willing to pay double the price.

"Mr. Zhou, I understand what you mean, if you want to buy this gilded Maitreya Buddha statue, of course we Shang Guxuan have no reason to refuse when we open the door to do business. Li Chengran then said to Ye Zilan: "Xiaolan go and prepare the tools that Mr. Zhou wants." ”

Ye Zilan listened to Li Chengran's instructions and went to get a set of tools and put them on the square table in front of the old man.

"Mr. Zhou, this is the tool you want. Li Chengran said.

"Thank you, by the way, girl, your surname?" the old man asked after thanking him.

"You're welcome, my surname is Li, and my father is the owner of this Shangguxuan. Li Chengran replied politely.

"Oh, Miss Li, okay, then I'll take a look at this Buddha statue first. After Mr. Zhou finished speaking, he picked up the tool and gently pried it on the base of the bronze statue, only to hear a dingdong The copper in the Buddha statue fell down and fell on the square table, Mr. Zhou saw that there was nothing else except the copper block, he shook the bronze statue again, and took a small flashlight to shine inside, as if looking for something.

Lee Seung-ran kept watching Mr. Zhou's movements, and she knew what Mr. Zhou was looking for.

Li Mo also silently paid attention to the situation here, as an antique dealer who has been in the business for decades, he began to pay attention to the moment Mr. Zhou came in, until Mr. Zhou stopped in front of the gilded Maitreya Buddha statue, and later asked Li Chengran for tools and other behaviors, Li Mo saw it in his eyes. Similarly, these actions did not escape the attention of Xin Yifan, who was sitting next to Li Mo.

Obviously, this gilded Maitreya Buddha statue itself is also unusual, and the relics inside the Buddha statue that Mr. Zhou is looking for are even more unusual! Could it really be a Buddha bone relic? Li Mo thought in his heart.

Xin Yifan next to him had another thought, he instinctively thought that Mr. Zhou was here to find the Holy Bone, so it must have something to do with the Holy Sect! What should I do? Xin Yifan was much more nervous than the Li family's father and daughter, and he began to worry about the safety of the Li family's father and daughter.

Mr. Zhou, who had found nothing at the bottom of the Buddha statue, put the Buddha statue back on the base in disappointment, threw the tools on the square table, and then sat on the sofa, took off his eyes with one hand, and said to Li Chengran: "Miss Li, have you really not touched this Buddha statue?"

"Mr. Zhou, I really don't understand what you mean, I have already explained to you just now, this Buddha statue was indeed received yesterday, and it was when we were about to close in the afternoon. Li Chengran still said the same thing.

"No, Miss Li, I don't care when you received the Buddha statue, I just want to know if you have touched the dark grid at the bottom of the Buddha statue and whether you have taken out the contents inside!" Mr. Zhou said with a wave of his hand impatiently.

"Mr. Zhou, this is an item that we legally buy and sell, if you want to buy this Buddha statue, of course we welcome it, but I really don't understand the questions you asked, and I can't figure out whether you want to buy this Buddha statue or if you are looking for something. Mr. Zhou's attitude made Li Chengran a little uncomfortable, so he replied to him in a blunt tone.

Hearing Li Chengran's stiff tone, Mr. Zhou's tone softened and said: "Miss Li, this Buddha statue is very important to us, I mean there is something very important to us in the Buddha statue, if you take it out, please return it to us, I also said just now, I am willing to pay double the price, if you feel that it is not enough, you can also make a price, these are all negotiable." ”

Just as Li Chengran wanted to speak, he was stopped by Li Mo gently patting his shoulder, Li Mo smiled, and handed over a business card of his own and said: "Hello Mr. Zhou, contemptible Li Mo, is the boss of this Shang Gu Xuan, I also listened to most of what you said to the little girl just now, I want to take the liberty of asking, this bronze Buddha has always been hidden in your family, why did you lose it, and how did you know that this thing was collected by me Shang Gu Xuan?"

"This gilded Maitreya Buddha bronze statue has a history of hundreds of years in the Jiaci family, after Jiaci and his father married, this Buddha statue was brought to the Zhou family by Jiaci, as for the reason for the loss, now don't say it, are historical reasons, straight from the father after the rehabilitation, Jiaci's family and my Zhou family began to inquire about the whereabouts of this Buddha statue, we also have some friends in the antique circle, yesterday I had a friend heard that someone in Fuzhou Road Wenwan Street sold gilded Maitreya Buddha bronze statue called me, today I immediately rushed over, the situation is like this, Boss Li, this thing is really important to us, please cut love to complete。 Mr. Zhou patiently explained to Li Mo the ins and outs of his coming here, and finally even said to Li Mo in a pleading tone.

"That's the case, Mr. Zhou, the thing was indeed collected yesterday afternoon, and there was a lack of a base when it was collected, so the little girl found a Buddha statue base that was inadvertently obtained many years ago and tried to see if it was suitable for this bronze Buddha, and it was really right, as for what you mentioned in it, I am very sure to tell you that we have not touched this Buddha statue, and we have not found anything, if you want this Buddha statue, you don't need to double the price, you follow 15% Here is our remittance slip yesterday, of course, in order to keep the customer confidential, we hid his identity information. Li Mo actually knew very well that the other party didn't want this bronze statue at all, the other party wanted the relics inside, he was very interested in this relic, Li Mo didn't plan to give the relics to this Mr. Zhou, the relics are not something that can be estimated with money.

After listening to Li Mo's words, Mr. Zhou also understood, the other party insisted that he had never touched the bronze statue and had not seen the things inside, he was a little angry, but he couldn't blame it, he had already sent someone to find the middle-aged man named Cao Zhigang who sold this bronze statue, through some means, he also knew that it was Cao Zhigang's father who secretly took away the Buddha statue when his house was copied, and he hid it until now before taking it out, and Cao Zhigang didn't know that there was anything in the Buddha statue at all, he knew that Cao Zhigang didn't dare to lie in front of the means under his hands。

Mr. Zhou took a deep breath, calmed down, and said to Li Mo: "Boss Li, don't say secret words in front of celebrities, the things inside are the treasures of the Jiaci family, Jiaci told me before he died that I must find this Buddha statue, and now the Buddha statue has been found, but the most important object in the Buddha statue has not been found, you say that I am dead How to explain to Jiaci, Boss Li, just sell me Zhou Zhuoyong a face, as long as it is a place where Boss Li can use it in the future, Zhou will definitely not refuse." ”

"Dare to ask who the Ling Ci family is?" Hearing Zhou Zhuoyong say this, Li Mo was almost soft-hearted, so he asked casually.

"Jia Ci is the person who will supervise the grandchildren's house. So Zhou Zhuoyong replied.

"Huiji Sun's family? ha... Mr. Zhou, please go back, don't say that I haven't seen the things in the Buddha statue, even if I see you, don't want to take it back, today I Shang Guxuan will not do your business, you please!" After hearing Zhou Zhuoyong mention the Huiji Sun family, Li Mo's face suddenly changed, his tone became extremely cold, and he gave an order to expel the guest.

"You, what do you mean! Where did the Huiji Sun family offend you! You, you tell me clearly!" Zhou Zhuoyong was a little confused by Li Mo's sudden change in attitude, he stood up a little angrily and approached Li Mo, and questioned Li Mo in his mouth, his behavior made his bodyguards vigilant, for fear that he and Li Mo would have a physical conflict.

"Mr. Zhou Zhuoyong, please, I said that if you don't do your business, you won't do your business!" Li Mo still said this sentence in that cold tone before turning around and walking towards the inner hall.

Leaving Zhou Zhuoyong and the two bodyguards standing in a daze, Li Chengran also followed Li Mo away, Ye Zilan saw that they were both gone, and she also pulled Razin Yifan to the inner hall where Li Mo and them were.

One of Zhou Zhuoyong's bodyguards wanted to chase in, but was stopped by Zhou Zhuoyong, he glanced at several Buddha statues with some unwillingness, then picked up his cane and waved his hand to the bodyguard, and walked out of Shang Guxuan a little lonely.

After seeing Zhou Zhuoyong leave, the guys in the store put the Buddha statue back in the display case and locked it.

Ye Zilan and Xin Yifan walked into the back hall and saw Li Mo sitting on the sofa, looking at the ceiling in a daze, holding his hands in front of his chest, not knowing what he was thinking, Li Chengran sat next to him silently, and his eyes didn't know where to look, he felt that someone was coming, Li Mo sat up straight, and seeing that it was Xin Yifan's brother and sister, he sighed: "Yifan, Xiaolan, let you see you laugh today." ”

Xin Yifan took out the holy bone from the inner bag of his coat and handed it to Li Mo and said: "Uncle Mo, I know that Mr. Zhou should be here for it today, I will take this first, well, return the relics to you, and if there is any dispute at that time, it will be easy to explain." Xin Yifan was also very entangled, he didn't know if that Mr. Zhou was a member of the so-called Holy Sect, and he didn't know whether he should tell them about the holy bones, now that everyone has come to the door, if the other party is not good for the Li family's father and daughter, it will be troublesome, after all, he was once a victim of the crystal skull robbery, and the other party even dared to rob the country's things, would he still be polite to the Li family's father and daughter, he also thought of calling the police, but what is the use of calling the police without any evidence, at least now the other party has not done anything to hurt the Li family's father and daughter, and there is no threat。

However, Li Mo did not take the holy bone in Xin Yifan's hand, but said: "You are the first custodian of the relics, hmph, I think his Shanyin Zhou family will still be able to judge what the Sun family can do with me Li Mo." Li Mo's words made Xin Yifan hear in a fog, Li Mo saw the question on Xin Yifan's face, and added: "Yifan, don't worry, they don't dare to do anything to us, even if they know that the relics are here, do they still dare to rob them openly? They are all famous families who claim to be in China!" There was a lot of disdain in his tone.
