Sourness

What Yan Qing thought at first was that there are few people living here in Miyue, so if there is something wrong, for example, if someone came into the house, it would not be easy to be discovered.

His plan is to bring over their hedgehogs and cats, who are very alert and unnoticed.

But unfortunately, when he and Ling Dongzhi were discussing this matter on the phone, Brown Tang overheard him.So the child volunteered to protect the tiger's father.

Ling Dongzhi suspected that it wanted to please Xiao Xiao indirectly by participating in the protection of Mi Yue.After all, Xiao Xiao was quite a deterrent to Brown Sugar.

But he couldn't say that, it would hurt the furry child's self-esteem—the little brown sugar's heart was fragile.

In the same way, this activity cannot directly exclude brown sugar.

It would be best if Brown Sugar participates in it for two days, and then realizes that the activity itself is rather boring, and then it volunteers to go home...

This is the result of discussions between Ling Dongzhi and Zhuang Zhou.Yan Qing doesn't care, Brown Tang is a big adult dog, keeping it in the yard can still scare people.

Mi Yue didn't care much, his master was in a bad mood recently, brown sugar brought these furries to make a fuss, just to divert his master's attention.

As for whether Yan Fu will really take any action against them...

Mi Yue felt that it was impossible for the time being.After all, Yan Fu is not stupid. Knowing that they are guarding against him, why should he take the initiative to deliver it to his door?

But Miyue couldn't figure out why Lin Bo came to him.

He found that he knew nothing about the man.Although he didn't have a good impression of his auction house before, he hadn't actually heard of Lin Boyin's dark history of committing crimes.

After thinking about it, Miyue herself was a little confused. Where did his bad impression of Lin Boyin come from?

Downstairs, in the study.

Lin Boyin pushed a recording pen along the table in front of Lin Qingshan, "There are some things in it, I think Professor Lin should need it."

Lin Qingshan took it over, put on the earphones and listened quietly for a few minutes, then he asked Lin Boyin, "As far as I know, there is no conflict between Yan Fu and you."

Lin Boyin smiled slightly and asked him back, "If that's the case, why did Nan Changsheng form an alliance with me?"

This is also the question that Lin Qingshan has been wondering about.

"Last night," Lin Boyne said slowly, "someone sneaked into our old house."

Lin Qingshan frowned, and a bad premonition suddenly appeared in his heart.

"Last night?" Lin Qingshan thought for a while, then turned to look at Lin Jing, "Didn't you say that your family was in the hotel last night?"

Lin Jing nodded.

Yesterday when the banquet was over, Lin Qingshan met her, he was polite casually, and asked her if she wanted to go with her.In the end, Lin Jing said that the weather was bad, and that her father would not go back at night, so she wanted to stay. Taking advantage of the old man's good mood, he let the old man know about her divorce a little bit.

Lin Qingshan looked at Lin Boyin, "Who is at home?"

Lin Boyin shook his head, "The family members are all in the hotel, and there are only a few staff members left in the old house to look after the house. But after nine o'clock, Uncle Xin went back."

Lin Jing explained to him beside him, "It's my dad's assistant."

Lin Boyin nodded and said, "At first I planned to go back to get some things, but then the weather was bad, so we discussed letting him stay in the old house to rest, and come back after dawn."

"Is this Uncle Xin the one who happened?"

Lin Boyin leaned back slightly, his face livid, "Yes. At around six o'clock in the morning, someone went upstairs to find Uncle Xin, and found my dad's bedroom door was ajar, and he was lying in the bedroom... The police preliminarily believed that the death Because of the poisoning, we have to wait for the autopsy report for details.”

Lin Qingshan was stunned when he heard that, and quickly realized that what Lin Boyin wanted to say was not that someone in his family had an accident, but...

"You want to say," Lin Qingshan looked at the siblings with some uncertainty, "someone wants to deal with Mr. Lin?"

"I really doubt it that way." Lin Boyin stared at Lin Qingshan closely, as if he wanted to get approval from him, "My dad told several guests last night that he was not used to living in a hotel and wanted to go back to rest. When Uncle Xin went back, the weather was bad, so he took my car away. And...in the bad light, if you only look at the back, outsiders may not be able to tell my father and Uncle Xin apart..."

Lin Qingshan was already stunned, "These... do the police know?"

Limbaugh shook his head, these were just his own guesses.

"I don't understand, why would you think of telling me?" Lin Qingshan was also confused, and vaguely felt that Lin Boyin's situation was a bit similar to his own, and there was something suspicious, but there was no evidence to support what he told the police .

"I got the news," Lin Boyne said, "Yan Fu is against you, isn't it?"

Lin Qingshan was stunned, "You suspect that it was Yan Fu who killed your family...?"

But Lin Boyin shook his head, "It was my father who doubted Yan Fu. To be precise, he and Nan Changsheng both doubted Yan Fu."

According to this, Lin Boyin himself didn't have any opinion on Yan Fu.

Lin Boyin saw the doubt in his eyes, sighed and said: "Let me put it this way. I don't know why my father and Nan Changsheng doubted Yan Fu. I can't figure it out. I just believe that my father will not Do that kind of random biting thing. There must be something outsiders don't know about it."

Lin Qingshan's expression became more serious.

Lin Boyin said: "What I suspect is that Zhao Mo, Mr. Feng, my father and Nan Changsheng seem to have offended Yan Fu. That's why Nan Changsheng couldn't sit still after Zhao Mo and Mr. Feng had an accident. Come directly to our house."

Lin Qingshan showed a slightly stunned expression.He has been guessing why Nan Changsheng needs to form an alliance with the Lin family, if it is for a common enemy...

That makes sense.

"My dad has been refusing to tell." Lin Boyin's expression was a little sad, "If he knows what happened to Uncle Xin, maybe... he can tell me how they ended their enmity."

Lin Qingshan thought for a while, looked at him with some doubts and said: "But I don't know about these things."

When these old gentlemen became enemies, he was still a stunned young man who had nothing to do with him.Moreover, he didn't have any particularly close relationship with these few people, so it was impossible to know the inside story - the only one who was close was Zhao Mo, who was not around anymore.

Lin Jing sat by and listened for a long time, but he got a general idea of ​​these things.She asked Lin Boyin, "Is it because Yan Fu wants to deal with Professor Lin?"

Lin Boyin looked over and asked him with certainty, "Yan Fu is dealing with you, is that so?"

Now that the brothers and sisters of the Lin family have shown a frank attitude towards each other, Lin Qingshan doesn't think there is any need to hide anything.Furthermore, he still trusts Lin Jing, the senior sister.

He talked about what happened during this period, including Yan Fu's performance, the suspicion of Yan Fu from their master and apprentice, what happened at yesterday's wedding and the clues they provided to the police.

"My student went to the hospital to pick me up, met this man in the stairwell, and happened to see him in contact with Yan Fu. This is indeed suspicious." Lin Qingshan said: "It is because of this that Yan Fu bit back. Said that we are all slandering him. But with his reaction, I feel that there is indeed a problem between him and this man. "

These things are unknown to the Lin family siblings.But because Lin Ao targeted Yan Fu with suspicion from the very beginning, neither Lin Jing nor Lin Boyin showed surprise expressions when they heard this.

Lin Qingshan said: "Whether Yan Fu is really sick, and whether he really wants revenge, I'm not sure now. But he probably dealt with me because I told the police about these things."

The corner of Lin Boyn's mouth twitched slightly, "No, I think I know him better on this issue. He dealt with you not only because of these, but also because of the Antique Association. I guess he wanted to Use some means to tarnish your reputation."

Lin Qingshan was stunned.

Lin Jing also showed a look of surprise, "Both Lao Lin and I have quit the association."

When Lin Boyin was serious and unsmiling, his face would show a bit of fierceness, especially the way he pursed the corners of his mouth slightly, his whole person looked very cold.

"Yan Fu is acting like a mad dog now, whoever catches and bites." Lin Boyin calmly gave Yan Fu a vivid evaluation, "Many businessmen under Nan Changsheng have gone to Yan Fu to sign up. You probably don’t know this yet. In addition to getting in touch with these wealthy businessmen, Yan Fu also offered generous terms to win over the professionals in the Antique Association.”

Lin Qingshan showed a surprised expression.He thought that the members of the Antique Association would calmly think about the future of the association before Zhao Mo's affairs were settled.

Who would have thought that the poachers would have pounced at this time?

"Nan Changsheng is helpless now," Lin Boyin said: "After all, participation in associations is voluntary, and no one asks to only join one. Most people just play by the wind, and no one Accepting Yan Fu's overtures with an offending attitude, I heard that the vice president of the Collectors Association is a foreigner named Jiang Wanzhong, and he is the one who makes arrangements for meeting new members."

Lin Qingshan was surprised again.This early in the morning, there were so many surprises that he felt that his cheeks were a little numb.

He suddenly thought of a detail. It is said that Yan Fu once approached Nan Changsheng to merge the Collectors Association and the Antique Collection Association, and then asked Nan Changsheng to be the new president.

Judging from the current situation, Nan Changsheng was scoured, and he was thrown away after using it? !

"Jiang Wanzhong?" Lin Jing was confused, "Who is this?"

"An opportunist." Lin Boyin answered his sister patiently, and then said to Lin Qingshan: "Since Mr. Zhao's accident happened, and my father said that he had a grudge against Yan Fu, I have been looking for someone to keep an eye on him." Yan Fu. I knew he was going to sue you for slander, so I came here personally to show my support for you—I don’t want to see those so-called professionals being recruited by Yan Fu.”

Lin Boyin looked at the two people with surprised expressions at the same time, nodded and said: "Yes, this is my purpose. I don't want to see the antique market in the Binhai area turn into Yan Fu's monologue. All of this The hidden interests are very amazing. If our Lin family does not enter this circle, it is very likely that we will be excluded from this market... This is not a commercial competition, but a conspiracy."

After the brothers and sisters of the Lin family left, Lin Qingshan was still thinking about Lin Boyin's words. He said that Yan Fu had approached him and wanted to contact him and Qiao Rang to hold the autumn auction together with the strength of the two auction houses.As the organizer, Yan Fu will also provide part of the collection in his own name.

Limbaugh declined the offer.But the Qiao family seems to be accepting.

Lin Qingshan was thinking, what exactly does Yan Fu want to do?

Even if he can successfully gather all the members of the Antique Association, and then gather the Collection Association in his palm, what then?

Limbaugh says the underlying benefits are staggering...

The value of all collections is determined by them?No matter which party received the collection, it actually went into their pockets?Different associations and auction houses with different standpoints have since become different departments of the same company?

Monopoly in another sense? !

Under such a premise, if all experts say that a collection is real, does it become "real"?

It's like going to the "Liu Qijia" to touch Ci's blood pattern porcelain tea wash, or the pair of blood pattern porcelain jade pots and spring bottles that appeared at the meeting? !

Lin Qingshan was terrified.

In the face of huge profits, can Lin Qingshan guarantee that all his peers can stick to their bottom line, and will not be swayed by the opinions of capital against their conscience? !

Lin Boyne's idea is to separate the Antique Association from this circle, and to fight against another group of people controlled by capital from the perspective of a professional.

The Antiques Association is now a mess, and there must be someone with charisma to stand up and glue them together again.

Among these professionals, the most influential one is naturally Lin Qingshan.

That's why Limbaugh came to the door early in the morning.He wants to make a stand, support him behind the scenes, and even push him to accomplish this.

From outside the window came the menacing barking of a big dog.

Lin Qingshan raised his head and saw the smooth and water-slick husky of Ling Dongzhi's house walking its owner back and forth around the swimming pool.If the owner chases it to the east, it will run west, and when the owner chases it to the west, it will run east again.

Yan Qing and Mi Yue stood far away to watch the fun, and each of them held a kitten in their arms.

Mi Yue turned her head and saw Lin Qingshan in the room, he pinched the paw of the little black cat and waved at him, the little cat opened its eyes wide and ignorantly let out a meow, and the adults laughed together.

Lin Qingshan didn't know what the little guy said, but he smiled unconsciously when he saw this scene.

Lin Qingshan knew that he was not a competitive person, and to be honest, he did not have a particularly noble sense of morality, but seeing Mi Yue and his brothers, and thinking about Tao Tianran who was digging pits everywhere on Lingxi Mountain for prospecting, and a All the students, he felt...

Even for these young people, he couldn't hide himself.

They are all his children.

They were all looking at him to see how he would choose when encountering things... This is teaching by precept and example, and it is the responsibility he must shoulder as a teacher.

Lin Qingshan thought, this world will be handed over to them sooner or later.

Before that, as an elder, he had the responsibility, and it was necessary, to do his best to make the world a better place.

Even just a little.
