Chapter Twenty-Four: All Rejoice

At this moment, Li Ruochen is in the eyes of many people, tantamount to a walking mountain of gold and silver, exuding the light of wealth.

The sum of several bank cards may be more than a billion!

How many zeros are followed by it, ten fingers can't count them!

Especially the children of the side lineage, far from being as beautiful as outsiders think, plus they spend money lavishly on weekdays, their pockets are cleaner than their faces, and they almost don't drool when they think of the long string of numbers.

"Ruochen, you brought back some of the stolen money from the sale of antiques, knowing your mistakes can improve a lot, and we elders are very pleased." Li Zhenghe smiled kindly, and then turned to the old man: "Father, it is better to inject this money into the Li Group to supplement the group's cash flow, there are just a few projects that have not yet started because of tight funds, with this fund, all problems will be solved." ”

"This ...... Don't rush to conclusions first, listen to Ruochen's thoughts. "Although the old man also wants to use the money for the development of the group, he is not so cheeky as to rob his grandson of his money.

If it is really the proceeds from the sale of antiques, then there is nothing to discuss, and it must be returned to the family, but the problem is that those antiques are not worth 100 million!

"Grandpa, what are you hesitating about, this money belongs to the Li family, but it is just returned to the original owner."

"That's right, since the stolen money is discovered, it must be confiscated, otherwise everyone will learn from their father and son, isn't the Li family messed up?"

"This is only 100 million, who knows how much wealth their father and son took away from the Li family in the first place!"

"If you want me to say, you should let Li Ruochen hand over all the bank cards on his body, his money belongs to our Li family!"

"Head of the family, is it possible that because Li Ruochen is your own grandson, you have selfish intentions and want to help him keep the stolen money?!"

Questioning voices came out one after another, one after another.

The wealth is moving, and most people find it difficult to keep calm, and some people even point their guns at Li Mingyuan, forcing him to make a decision as soon as possible.

The old man had a headache, knowing that the truth was not the case, but he didn't know how to speak.

Standing on Li Ruochen's side, it is inevitable that he will be tongue-in-cheek, which will seriously affect his prestige in the Li family, and on the contrary, he will not be happy.

"Ruochen, do you need to explain anything about the deposit in the account?" The old man asked with a sigh.

After some careful consideration, he already had a decision in his mind.

In order to avoid suspicion and for the stability of the family, he can only choose to sacrifice Li Ruochen's personal interests.

"Grandpa, my father did take away a few ancestral antiques back then, which I have never denied, but you should know how much the market price of those antiques is." Li Ruochen said in a deep voice.

"Father, in fact, I am also quite curious, which antiques did the eldest brother take away, and what is the market price?" Li Zhenghe pretended to laugh casually: "I think many of the clansmen here have the same questions as me. ”

"Yes, grandpa, just say it and let everyone open their eyes, in recent years, the antique market has been bullish, and some bottles and cans can be sold for hundreds of millions of dollars, maybe the few pieces stolen by the uncle are worth billions!" Li Ruoyuan said with a smile.

Some of the Li clansmen who knew something about antiques were speechless for a while, and there should be a degree of exaggeration.

Do you think it's the blue and white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty, and it's hundreds of millions of dollars at will, if the Li family has this background, they can use it in a small place like Jiangzhou?

There were many smart people present, and there were a few people who were dazzled by money, and some people actually believed it and coaxed it, and asked for the disclosure of the stolen antiques of the year.

Li Ruochen was in his heart, his father deliberately stole antiques in order to hide people's eyes, if the stolen items were listed one by one, he might not attract the attention of people with intentions.

Fortunately, the old man waved his hand and said, "Who can remember the events of ten years ago so clearly, but I can tell you that the antiques collected by the Li family are not that valuable." ”

"I can testify to that." The third uncle then said: "After that incident, we immediately counted the collection, and according to the transaction price at the auction at that time, the price of the stolen antiques was about 60 million. ”

"It's only 60 million, third uncle, you can't be mistaken, right?" Li Ruoyuan was the first to express disbelief.

"Do you think I'm old and confused, or do you mean I'm deliberately covering up Ruochen?" The third uncle pulled down his face and asked rhetorically.

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant." Li Ruoyuan was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, the third uncle was highly respected in the Li family, and he didn't dare to offend easily.

"Ahem, cough, cough......" Li Zhenghe coughed a few times dryly, and said with a smile: "Third uncle, you misunderstood, what Ruoyuan said is that the price of antiques changes every year, and it was only worth 60 million back then, and now it may be more than that." ”

"Yes, yes, that's what I meant." Li Ruoyuan said with a dry smile.

This reason barely makes sense, and the third uncle didn't hold on to it anymore.

Because he can't remember exactly what items were stolen back then, he can't be sure how much Li Zhengshan sold.

"By the way, Uncle Fu was in charge of statistics at that time, so I should have a little impression." The third uncle set his eyes on Uncle Fu on the side.

"Yes, I remember missing a total of eight antiques, mainly ceramics." Uncle Fu nodded and said.

"Ceramics are worth a lot of money, I remember a few years ago, a chicken bowl cup was sold for nearly 300 million!" Li Ruoyuan shouted.

"It is a Ming Chenghua Doucai Chicken Bowl Cup, with a transaction price of 280 million." There is a knowledgeable person to help make a supplement.

Everyone's hearts are hot, could it be that there are similar treasures in the antiques stolen by Li Zhengshan?

Sensing the greedy gazes around him, Li Ruochen sneered in his heart.

Even if there is a chicken bowl cup, all the antiques add up, the value is far less than the other, that is the real priceless treasure.

"Don't guess, what things were left by the ancestors of the Li family, don't I know better than you?" The old man snorted coldly, and when he saw the appearance of his descendants who were obsessed with money, he was very disappointed.

I don't think about how to make money from the outside, I only think about the steel hammer in my own pocket, what can I do!

"Ladies and gentlemen, the price of antiques has indeed risen in recent years, but no matter how high the increase is, 60 million things will not become 600 million." Uncle Fu said.

Li Zhenghe and others were thoughtful, the economic law is there, and antiques are not real estate, and it is impossible for prices to soar tenfold in ten years.

"Ruochen, what are your plans for this money?" The third uncle asked.

From his point of view, he still hopes that Li Ruochen can take a step back and hand over at least some of the cash, so as to stop some people's mouths.

"Third uncle, you told Uncle Fu just now that those antiques are worth 60 million, and they are the price of the auction house, and they can't be sold at that price through other channels." Li Ruochen said slowly.

"Don't talk about those useless ones, whether you are willing to confiscate or not, you give everyone an accurate answer!" The sixth uncle asked with a cold face.

"It's okay to confiscate, but I have one condition." Li Ruochen looked around, and said loudly: "Those antiques were borrowed by our father and son, and now the principal and interest are repaid, I don't want to hear anyone talk about the things of the year in the future, otherwise don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people!" ”

The third uncle breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "This is natural, you return the money to the family, and give tens of millions more, presumably everyone will not bring up the old things again." ”

Li Zhenghe frowned secretly, although it was profitable in this way, Li Ruochen's father and son were also whitewashed, and there was one less reason to criticize him, I don't know if it was good or bad.

"Do you have any objections to Ruochen's proposal?" The old man asked with a smile.

Li Ruochen's approach made him very satisfied, which not only solved the problem, but also washed away the notoriety of the thief, and greatly improved the people's sensory impression of him.

The result was no surprise, and the elders present unanimously approved, which can be described as a happy situation.

Li Ruochen was not saddened by the loss of a large sum of money, as they said, the money from selling antiques belonged to the Li family.

If my father knew what he had done today, he would have been happy from the bottom of his heart and alleviated a lot of guilt for his family.

The matter came to a successful end, everyone dispersed one after another, and the sixth uncle was also on crutches and ready to leave.

"Wait!" Li Ruochen shouted lightly and heavily: "Sixth uncle, have you forgotten something?" ”

"What did I forget?" The sixth uncle turned around unhappily.

"It's okay, let me remind you, you just said that as long as you prove that the stolen gold and silver jewelry was not stolen by me, you will always admit your mistake in public and promise not to meddle in family affairs again." Li Ruochen said with a smile.

This old man is not a good thing, it is rare to grab his pigtails, and he has to pull it hard, so that he feels pain, and knows who he can't afford to provoke!

"But...... But you ...... money."

"One yard to one yard!" Li Ruochen interrupted the sophistry of the sixth uncle, and said proudly: "It doesn't hurt to tell you, the little money from selling antiques has long been spent, and the current money is earned by me by medical skills!" ”

When the old man heard this, he secretly said in his heart.

Why worry about having no money in his body, let alone his amazing medical skills, Li Ruochen showed his hands slightly, and I don't know how many people lined up to send him money.

"Sixth, since the words are spoken, then fulfill the promise, don't let the juniors see the jokes, you have been in poor health for the past two years, just take this opportunity to recuperate more." The old man said lightly.

Having one less high-level person dictating to family affairs can reduce a lot of trouble and help to centralize power, which is what every head of the family is happy to see.

"Right or wrong does not depend on seniority, wrong is wrong, and if there is a mistake, it should be recognized." The third uncle also chimed in.

"Okay, it's me who blames Ruochen, I apologize!" The sixth uncle's old face was hot, and he left immediately after speaking.

"People who have lived a lot of years, most of their bodies are in the ground, and a junior is angry, why bother?" The third uncle looked at the distant back and shook his head.

Compared with the sixth uncle who attaches great importance to face, Li Ruoyuan is a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, and he doesn't need others to speak, so he takes the initiative to come over to apologize and admit his mistakes.

It's just a smug smile on his face, and he can't see the slightest sincerity.

thinks that he has cheated Li Ruochen for more than 100 million, which is enough for him to be happy for several days.

Although the money can't fall into his pocket, as long as he can see Li Ruochen suffer, his heart is extremely happy.
