Chapter 18 Neighbors’ Suspicion

Dai Wangnian arrived not long after. It was too hot and his bald head was covered in sweat. When he wiped it with a tissue, there were a lot of paper scraps.

Dai Hengxin opened the door for him, took out a clean wet wipe and asked him to go to the bathroom to wash his face.

When Dai Wangnian came out of the bathroom, he was no longer in a mess and his breathing had stabilized.

Seeing Xiao Yingchun and the gold ingot in front of him, Dai Wangnian smiled and said, "Little girl, you are amazing!"

Xiao Yingchun smiled but said nothing.

Dai Wangnian didn't look at it for long this time. He put down the magnifying glass and the gold ingot and nodded, saying, "It's real."

Dai Hengxin readily gave 3.2 million.

Xiao Yingchun achieved his goal and prepared to say goodbye and leave.

Dai Hengxin stopped her and said, "I'll take you there."

"No need, I can just call a taxi." Xiao Yingchun wanted to refuse.

Dai Hengxin mentioned the sports bag without questioning, "How dare you take a taxi with this thing in your hand? What were you thinking?"

Xiao Yingchun: "Then I'll trouble you."

Dai Wangnian was originally sitting there drinking tea, but when he heard this he knew there was something good in the package.

His eyes lit up and he looked eagerly at Dai Hengxin and then at the bag.

Dai Hengxin pretended not to notice his uncle's expression. He just asked his uncle to help him look after the store and sent Xiao Yingchun away.

When Xiaomei saw Dai Wangnian coming over, she knew that there was indeed something good, and the boss had not yet made a sure decision, so he asked someone to come and help confirm.

Unexpectedly, not long after, Dai Hengxin personally drove Xiao Yingchun to school and even opened the car door for Xiao Yingchun. Xiaomei became even more confident.

After Dai Hengxin sent Xiao Yingchun away and agreed with Xiao Yingchun to pick her up for dinner later, when he returned to the store, Dai Wangnian's eyes were wide open and his face was full of curiosity.

"What good thing is it? Do you have to send her back in person?"

Dai Hengxin hesitated for a moment and said, "It's a lacquerware inlaid with gold and silver threads and mother-of-pearl."

After a pause, Dai Hengxin added: "Agarwood."

Dai Wangnian's eyes almost popped out of his head: "!!! Such a good thing, why don't you let me see it?"

Dai Hengxin glanced at his uncle and said, "She doesn't plan to sell it. Besides, even if she dares to sell it, would you or I dare to buy it?"

Dai Wangnian remained silent.

Although he was obsessed with ancient artifacts, he knew that he must not cross the red line.

Dai Wangnian crossed his arms in confusion, leaned back on the mahogany sofa and looked at Dai Hengxin: "What is the origin of this little girl? How come she has so many good things in her hands?"

Dai Hengxin thought for a moment and said, "She is from my grandfather's village. Her family runs a small store. Her parents died in a car accident last year..."

He roughly explained the information he had learned from his grandfather.

Dai Wangnian understood: "This thing can't be left to her by her parents. Where did it come from?"

Dai Hengxin also wanted to know: "I have agreed to treat her to lunch at noon. Can you help me look after the store?"

Dai Wangnian was very excited and didn't care whether it was a loss of status for him, a doctoral supervisor, to help look after the shop.

"Remember, kid, she must have some good stuff in her hands. Be careful with your words and don't offend her."

"If she has something to sell to you, as long as it doesn't cross the red line, you should buy it at a high price. Don't be stingy so that there will be a next time."

Dai Hengxin laughed: "I know..."

If he didn't have this in mind, how could he have given 3.2 million today without even stuttering?
You have to know that antiques are different from other things. If there are too many of the same things, they will lose their value. Can a gold ingot with only one in existence be priced the same as a gold ingot with many in existence?

That's completely different...

As soon as Xiao Yingchun got out of the car and opened the store door, a man came in. It was Ye Yubin.

Ye Yubin was still wearing a T-shirt, shorts, and flip-flops, but his expression was frighteningly serious: "Xiao girl, who was the person who just sent you back?"

Xiao Yingchun was so frightened that she almost dropped the sports bag in her hand!
When she saw clearly that it was Ye Yubin, she patted her chest and gasped: "Uncle Ye, you scared me to death!"

Ye Yubin didn't say anything, but stared at Xiao Yingchun with an attitude of "I won't give up until you tell me."

Xiao Yingchun was moved but also a little nervous: she must not let Ye Yubin know that she sold the gold ingots.

She thought about it and decided to confess: "That's Grandpa Zhao's grandson."

"Zhao Jiping?"

Xiao Yingchun nodded.

Ye Yubin obviously didn't expect this to happen. After thinking for a while, he asked again: "What does his grandson do?"

Xiao Yingchun half-truthfully said, "He runs a pawn shop on the corner over there. I heard he's a top student who graduated from a 985 university."

"I came to see Grandpa Zhao the other day and recognized him when he was buying something in my store. We had met twice before in other places..."

Ye Yubin was thinking the wrong thing: "Is that so..." Two young people are dating?

Xiao Yingchun was still holding something worth 20 million yuan in her hand and hadn't put it into the system space yet. She was anxious: "Uncle Ye, if you have nothing else to do, I'll go up first?"

Ye Yubin called her again: "Xiao girl, I know you have had a hard time this year since your parents passed away, but you can't go the wrong way..."

It turned out that Ye Yubin heard the neighbors talking about how Xiao Yingchun's store was very busy these days.

Truckloads of stuff were being pulled here, but no trucks were seen taking them away. I was afraid they came to take them away after dark.

What business needs to be hidden?
That must be a shady business!
Ye Yubin's life was saved by Xiao Yingchun. Her parents were no longer around, so he felt it was his responsibility to take care of her and remind her, so he came to her.

Who knew that as soon as I got there, I saw from afar a million-class Mercedes-Benz luxury car bringing Xiao Yingchun back.

In the early morning, a beautiful young girl was brought back by a luxury car, carrying luggage...

Ye Yubin became even more worried and felt that Xiao Yingchun must have gone astray.

Xiao Yingchun felt a chill down her spine when she heard this: It’s true.

Those carts of stuff all came in through the front door and went out through the back door.

But everyone in the village knew that the back door was a dead end and it was impossible to get out.

Only seeing the input but not the output, isn't this suspicious to outsiders?

Xiao Yingchun took a deep breath and nodded seriously: "Uncle Ye, thank you for reminding me. I didn't tell you before that I recently opened an online store and the business has improved a little."

"Sometimes I get some orders and sometimes I have to work till midnight..."

This explains why Xiao Yingchun’s store is often closed.

Ye Yubin nodded and said, "You young people have active minds. I heard that e-commerce and the Internet can make a lot of money if you do it well. Just don't go down the wrong path..."

Ye Yubin continued to talk for a long time, and his words were full of worry.

Xiao Yingchun patiently coaxed Ye Yubin away, and while no one was around, she put the things into the system space. After thinking for a while, she sent a message to Dai Hengxin, asking him if he had any way to help rent a nearby warehouse.

Dai Hengxin replied immediately: "I have a friend who works in warehousing and logistics. I'll ask for you."

Before Xiao Yingchun could reply, Dai Hengxin called her: "He must have a warehouse, but I don't know if it meets your requirements. How about I take you to see it directly?"
