The store owner hurriedly covered his pockets, "You... don't talk nonsense! This is a serious business!"

Meng Xuanze didn't panic and spoke slowly.

"If you are poor, you will be good for yourself; if you are rich, you will be good for the world!"

The store owner looked suspicious and stared at Meng Xuanze with squinted eyes. There was danger in his eyes, "You won't play fairy dance with me, will you? Do you think my place is a street stall and a small shabby shop?"

The shopkeeper clearly remembered that this sentence was indeed engraved on the ancient jade, but he was still confused about what it meant just now.

Meng Xuanze continued without hesitation, "When you are unsuccessful, you must take good care of your own moral cultivation. When you are successful, you must work hard to benefit everyone in the world."

The shopkeeper frowned, "Kid! What do you want to do?"

Meng Xuanze stood upright and glanced at the antiques in the store. There were some treasures inside, but some were fakes, and there were also a bunch of bottles and jars that looked like they had just been dug out of the soil and were so worn that they looked unrecognizable.

The antique business has always been very deep.

Most of them are of unknown origin. Some antiques with real historical value and research significance may be able to trace their origins. As for those that have never been seen on the market, who knows whether they were found in the second-hand antique market, passed down from home, or maybe Stolen from a tomb?

No one is pursuing the case, not even a case can be filed.

The storekeeper naturally straightened his back and drove Meng Xuanze out impatiently.

Meng Xuanze suffered the disadvantage of his young age. Even though he looked determined, the store owner did not admit it.

Meng Xuanze knew that Li had sold everything he wanted to sell, and as long as the store hid the ancient jade or resold it, the heirloom would never be recovered.

Who would want to spit out the treasure they got?

Meng Xuanze argued with the store owner that as long as the store store kept the jade for the time being, he would bring money to redeem the jade.

The store has taken advantage of it and doesn't want to take action easily.

Seeing that the store owner was unreasonable and acted like a bandit, Meng Xuanze warned, "If I call the police, you will be guilty of buying stolen goods! Such a valuable thing is enough to put you in jail for more than ten years!"

The store owner didn't expect that a ten-year-old child could speak clearly and eloquently, just like a little adult, but would he be afraid of a child?

Rolling up his sleeves, "Hey! I bought it with money. How do I know if it was stolen? Are you lying? Get out of here quickly and stop making trouble!"

Meng Xuanze didn't want to cause trouble to the point of calling the police. He wanted his father and grandma to find out that the heirloom was missing, find an antique shop, expose Li Xiang's true identity, and let Li Xiang get out of the Meng family.

Otherwise, if it were him to expose her, Li Xiang would inevitably frame him and say that he was wronging her.

Meng Xuanze had just come to the Meng family less than a year ago, and he couldn't guarantee that his father and grandma would believe him unconditionally.

But if the store owner insists on taking the jade as his own, he has no choice but to call the police first to ensure that his jade will not be lost.

Meng Xuanze was about to use his phone and watch to call the police when a clear female voice came over.

"Boss Wang, I don't think he's lying!"

Meng Xuanze looked over and saw a woman with long hair and a new Chinese style gown walking in from the door of the store.

As soon as the shopkeeper saw the woman, he immediately greeted her with a smile on her face, "Miss Pei, are you here to pick out a gift for the old man?"

The person who came was none other than Pei Jiayin.

Her grandfather likes antiques and old objects. When Pei Jiayin has something to do, he likes to come to the store here to pick some and give them to him to please him.

A few days ago, the store said that a Qing Dynasty snuff bottle had arrived in the store. Pei Jiayin happened to be free this weekend, so he came to take a look.

Pei Jiayin didn't know Meng Xuanze.

She only heard the conversation inside the store as she picked through the bottles and cans piled outside the door.

If that piece of jade does not belong to a child, how could the child know what words are engraved on it?

There are still ancient Chinese characters on it. If the family hadn't taught it, the children might not even know what the words were.

Cases of one's own treasures being stolen and sold occur frequently in Antique Street.

Owners often come looking for them, but since there is no evidence to prove that they belong to them, many people suffer a loss.

Some people also called the police, but in the end not many of them were recovered!

Stores usually collect good items at low prices, knowing that their origins are shady. They almost always change hands on the same day, making a profit in the process.

The next destination is to sink into the sea.

The same is true for Boss Wang. When he received this piece of jade, he immediately contacted a wealthy customer and directly offered a seven-digit price. The other person just looked at the photo and didn't bother to pay. He came to pick it up after a while. .

Pei Jiayin came to the counter and raised her hand to Boss Wang, "I'll make a promise for this kid and give him three days. If he doesn't pay for it, this thing will be yours!"

Boss Wang had a grimace on his face, "Miss Pei, it's really not that I won't give you this face. How can I take it seriously if I'm a child? Besides, he didn't have money to redeem, so he took the adults and ran into the store to make a fuss. My business Do you still want to do it?”

"Someone is selling it, so I'm here to buy it. This thing is mine now! This is a legal sale! There is no name on this thing, so I can't come to customers to sell things. I ask one by one, where did it come from? Was it stolen? Is it stolen?" Have you checked your household registration book?"

Boss Wang frowned and said in a low voice, "I have already contacted the customer! The person will be here soon! I can't break my promise and offend the customer, right?"

Pei Jiayin looked at Meng Xuanze, looked him up and down, and said to Boss Wang, "I think this kid is well-dressed and should be able to afford the ransom! You don't want him to call the police and close the store for investigation, right?"

Of course Boss Wang didn't want to, and his face became even more bitter, "I'm a serious business owner, Miss Pei!"

"Okay! I know you are serious. Whether business is serious or not cannot be said with your mouth!"

"Miss Pei, you...what are you talking about?" Boss Wang's cheeks felt hot at the words.

Pei Jiayin reacted, she couldn't control herself, she was rude, she laughed and softened her tone.

"It's only three days. Boss Wang is trying to save face. I'll help you get through to your big customer, and I promise you won't offend him!"

Pei Jiayin has said this, so of course Boss Wang has to give Pei Jiayin some face.

His business is mostly gray, how can he dare to offend the mayor's daughter?

If something happens, he's pointing at the mayor's daughter to help him!

"As long as the big customer lets go, I will help this kid keep it for three days! If he doesn't come up with money to redeem it after three days, this jade will be mine, and no one can say anything!"

Pei Jiayin tilted her head and asked Meng Xuanze, "Kid, do you agree?"

Meng Xuanze nodded immediately.

He agreed, of course.

If it weren't for the help of this beautiful sister, this jade would not have been saved for even one day.

Three days is enough.

Pei Jiayin looked at her watch. She just had some time, so she and Meng Xuanze waited for the big customer at the door of the store.

The person who came was none other than Deng Xu.

He is in the antique business and often collects high-priced antiques to collect, give away, or send to his own shop abroad for sale.

He only accepts high-priced goods and never looks at low-priced goods.

He spends generously and rarely haggle. He is a well-known man of wealth in Antique Street.

Every time Deng Xu came over, nearby shopkeepers would rush out and surround him, offering tea and cigarettes to compliment him.

Deng Xu had a slight smile on his face, neither enthusiastic nor indifferent. Only when he mentioned something good, his eyes would show a little more fluctuation.

He was surrounded by people and came to the store where Pei Jiayin was.

The store owners also followed, wanting to see what good things this store had, and they were attracted by Deng Caishen.

Deng Xu knew Pei Jiayin and saw her from a distance at a banquet. His attitude suddenly changed and he took the initiative to greet Pei Jiayin.

Pei Jiayin didn't know Deng Xu.

I searched hard in my mind, but couldn't find any memory of the tall, handsome, somewhat mixed-race man in front of me.

"Miss Pei, I am Chu Yue's husband, Deng Xu!"
