I am doing well in the Siheyuan

"Who else would come at this time?" Uncle Guan frowned and exchanged glances with Marquis Polan.

Several people held their breath and waited for a moment, and then the knock on the door sounded again.

"Let's go and take a look." Uncle Guan stood up without hesitation, followed closely by Hou Polan and Guan Xiaoguan.

When he opened the door, he was surprised to find that the person coming was Ye Ming.

Looking around, there was no one else, which made Uncle Guan confused.

"Why, are you alone today?" "How dare you come here? You've stolen so many treasures from my grandfather and Uncle Hou. Do you feel addicted to taking advantage and want to come and raid them again?" Ye Ming couldn't help but smile when he saw a little girl daring to be so arrogant in front of him.

"Why, you know there are a lot of rats in the juvenile detention center, so you want to go there and keep them company?" Upon hearing this, the lazy cat's face suddenly changed, and he quickly hid behind Uncle Guan.

Ye Ming's reputation for cruelty is well-deserved. He shows no mercy to anyone, young or old.

Worried that Ye Ming might harm his granddaughter, Grandpa Guan immediately adopted an extremely humble attitude.

"Commissioner Ye, don't take the child's words to heart. You came here alone, it shouldn't be just to reminisce about the past, right?" "Of course not, Uncle Guan, I know your collection is much larger than Mr. Hou's, but I'm not here for those collections today." Ye Ming said, taking out a cloth bag from behind him.

"Please check. Including the cloisonné brown vase, there are a total of twelve collections here. As for the destroyed fakes, your granddaughter can apologize to me. Do you think this is okay?"

Hearing this, the three of them looked at each other.

Uncle Guan took the cloth bag from Ye Ming's hand with suspicion. After counting, he found that all the treasures that Ye Ming took away last time were there, which made him even more confused.

"Commissioner Ye, there is indeed nothing wrong with the items. Just tell me what your purpose is. First you snatched the treasure from me with great fanfare, and now you return it intact..." He seemed to have thought of something, and his expression became alert. "If you want to use these to exchange for my other treasures, I advise you to give up this idea!"

Hou Polan also thought of this and felt deeply disgusted by Ye Ming's scheming and greed.

I thought that if Ye Ming used the excuse that things were stolen and brought people to search my house, I would be unable to defend myself.

"Ye Ming, God sees everything we do. We admit that you took our things away, but since you are so ruthless, aren't you afraid of retribution?" He was extremely disappointed with Ye Ming. In the past, the two of them drank and chatted with each other and were considered friends regardless of age. He didn't expect that Ye Ming's personality would change so much in just a few years.

Faced with the misunderstanding between the two, Ye Ming just smiled indifferently without explaining.

The truth will clarify everything. Time will tell whether he has ulterior motives.

What Ye Ming did was just to make himself feel at ease.

“Since everything is correct, I’ll take my leave.

Mr. Hou, I will deliver your boxes of items to you at this time tomorrow. It is getting late and I am in a hurry to go home for dinner. So goodbye." After saying that, Ye Ming rode on his bicycle and quickly disappeared from the sight of several people.

"What does this mean? Are you planning to plot against me as well?"

Hou Polan was stunned for a moment. What Ye Ming did today seemed quite strange in his eyes.

"Grandfather, Uncle Hou, don't be fooled by this kid. I think he is here for your treasures.

I remember that he has been coveting your enamel bowl for a long time, right? In my opinion, he is most likely going for these treasures. Uncle Hou, you should be more careful. What is he trying to do by going to such great lengths? "

The little lazy cat had just been frightened. In her eyes, Ye Ming now looked like a greedy and evil person.

Only after Ye Ming left did she dare to vent her dissatisfaction.

Hou Paolan was suddenly enlightened by her words, but Uncle Guan seemed even more confused.

"Acting?" Uncle Guan suddenly thought of a possibility. His face changed instantly and his heart was in turmoil.

Hou Paolan was deep in thought about Ye Ming's words and did not notice the change in Uncle Guan's mood.

"Uncle Guan, this matter is very strange. I have to go back first."

"Okay, no matter whether Ye Ming returns the things tomorrow or not, remember to let me know."

"Don't worry, I've taken note of it." After Marquis Polan left, Uncle Guan still looked worried.

"Grandpa, what are you thinking about? Don't worry. If he really wants to take your treasures, we will take them and flee the city to seek refuge with our parents abroad."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" The lazy cat's words pulled Uncle Guan away from his thoughts about Ye Ming. He frowned and looked extremely serious.

"Even if all these treasures are taken away by Ye Ming, I will never take them abroad! Little lazy cat, you must remember that the treasures left to us by our ancestors must remain in the hands of our own family!"

The lazy cat had never seen Grandpa Guan being so strict with him, so he could not help but shrink his neck, not daring to say a word in rebuttal.

The patriotic feelings that the older generation of collectors have for their country and family hidden in antiques are in no way inferior to these antiques that have spanned the long river of history and are still shining today.

At the same time the next afternoon, Hou Paolan paced back and forth in the yard, staring at the time.

Faced with the reality that the door could not be opened for a long time, he felt uneasy. After all, those were two boxes of precious treasures. To say that he didn't care at all would be purely deceiving himself.

If Ye Ming really wanted to stage a drama to lure the enemy deep into his territory, using these two boxes of antiques as bait to search for other treasures, it would be tantamount to losing the big picture for the small.

And by then he can only swallow his bitterness and be unable to express it.

Nowadays, Ye Ming’s thoughts are becoming more and more unpredictable.

At this moment, the door opened.

Hou Polan suddenly became alert, with a changing expression on his face.

Now that things have come to this, we can only adapt to the situation.

When the door opened, it was Ye Ming.

"Mr. Hou, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I've returned the item to you. It's still in its original packaging. Please check it."

Hou Paola didn't say much. He checked the antiques in the box one by one to confirm that there was no tampering.

While he breathed a sigh of relief, he became even more wary of Ye Ming.

"Can't you see the value of these antiques?"

"Of course I know. Any item in the box is a priceless treasure."

"If that's the case, why would you be so kind to send it to me? Ye Ming, others may not know you, but we have known each other for so many years, don't I know what kind of person you are? You look simple and honest, but you are actually as shrewd as a fox. You have been coveting the three enamel bowls in my box for a long time, right? Are you trying to play the long game and catch a bigger fish this way?"

How could Ye Ming not know his doubts? But what was the purpose of returning the things he had taken with so much effort? Was it to show off his power? Or to experience the pleasure of controlling the fate of others? However, in this world, who would have the time to do such a thankless task?
