With Su Mo's strength, he could naturally identify many of the antiques in the room as fakes. However, the genuine articles were all in very conspicuous places, which led many people to have a misconception.
His trick had been seen through. Uncle Ming said somewhat embarrassedly, "As expected of the General of Tomb Raiders, Master Su, your eyes are truly extraordinary..."
"That's right, there are some fakes on this wooden shelf!"
As he spoke, Uncle Ming became quite frank. "However, there are quite a few genuine items available for you to choose from. Take whatever you like!"
Su Mo didn't pay any attention to these things. He simply nodded and pointed to the bottle.
The fat man chuckled and stepped forward to take it down.
Su Mo continued, "That...and that bracelet!"
Old Hu, Zhang Yingchuan, and Shirley Yang all worked together.
Su Mo had Lao Hu and the others take down anything of value from Uncle Ming's sandalwood shelf.
Uncle Ming watched the four men's actions, his heart bleeding.
Su Mo said, "That's all. To be honest, Boss Lei, this isn't enough to get us to help. I'll take a loss today and consider it making a friend..."
"........."
Even though his heart was bleeding, Uncle Ming still had to smile and give a thumbs up, praising, "Master Su, a real man!"
This isn't business negotiation, this is robbery!
Uncle Ming stood up, trying to gain some benefits for himself: "Master Su, you see, consider the items on the sandalwood shelf as a deposit for you. After the matter is settled, you can get the ancient jade and the 'Sunset Glow and Oxen' painting."
Upon hearing this, Su Mo became displeased, "Boss Lei, I've given you face, and you're so ungrateful..."
"If it weren't for the Deep Sea Jade and the Sunset Oxen Painting, would I have bothered arguing with you for so long?"
You'd better find someone else!
Su Mo started to walk outside. Everyone immediately prepared to follow.
Although everyone was reluctant to part with these treasures, they would support whatever decision Su Mo made.
No, no, no, no, no!
Seeing Su Mo turn and leave, Uncle Ming panicked, "Let's talk it over! Let's talk it over!"
"Look at my mouth. I'm used to doing business outside. Fine, I'll do as you say. You can take everything!"
Today, Uncle Ming has witnessed what a ruthless person is; so many treasures, and he just throws them away like that.
Hearing Uncle Ming say that, Su Mo sat back down, satisfied.
Seeing Su Mo sit back down in his chair, Uncle Ming tried to speak, "Master Su, since you've agreed to bring four tomb raiders, we need to discuss the benefits beforehand. First of all, you absolutely cannot take this thousand-year-old glacial crystal corpse!"
A corpse? A crystal corpse, for crying out loud?
Only an old codger like you would want that stuff!
Su Mo felt a chill run down his spine. "Of course, don't worry. I have no interest in corpses, you can take them!"
Uncle Ming felt much more at ease after hearing what Su Mo said.
Although he didn't gain any advantage in the several rounds of exchanges, he gained some understanding of Su Mo's personality. Su Mo was decisive and efficient, and given his reputation and strength, he knew that such a person would never stoop to deceiving him.
Uncle Ming breathed a sigh of relief. "Master Su, how about we split the funerary objects from the tomb in half between our two families?"
Su Mo sneered inwardly. They hadn't even set off yet, and they were already thinking about funerary objects. Tibet was no good place.
Su Mo remained expressionless. "No problem!"
Seeing that Su Mo agreed, Uncle Ming smiled more. "Alright, Mr. Su is straightforward. In that case, it's settled!"
Chapter 108: Zhang Rishan's Arrival! The Zhang Family?
"Alright, Mr. Su is straightforward. In that case, it's settled!"
Uncle Ming was overjoyed.
Su Mo nodded, "Okay, it's settled then..."
Having said that, seeing that it was getting late, Su Mo stood up. "Mr. Lei, now that everything is settled, please give us a definite answer before you leave..."
"We'll take our leave now, no need to see us off..."
As Su Mo spoke, he picked up the wooden box on the table, and Lao Hu, Zhang Yingchuan, and the other four also picked up their belongings from the ground and walked outside.
Seeing so many treasures being taken away, Uncle Ming's eyelids twitched, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only turn his head to the side and avoid seeing it!
Su Mo and his companions drove off.
.........
An hour later, Su Mo and his group returned to Panjiayuan.
Everyone moved everything from the car into the yard.
Su Mo pointed to the Deep Sea Jade and the Sunset Oxen Painting on the stone table and said, "Big Gold Tooth, put these two things away. You might need them in the future!"
"Ok!"
Big Gold Tooth nodded, then put the two wooden boxes away.
Su Mo rummaged through the treasures on the ground for a while and actually took out two yellowed and dried leaves.
Like a curious child, the fat man leaned closer and asked, "What's this? A leaf?"
Su Mo laughed and said, "These are dragon scales!"
Dragon scales?
Everyone stared in disbelief, speechless.
Su Mo went to the tap and dropped the dragon scales into the water. The so-called dragon scales instantly doubled in size upon contact with the water.
The color also changed from yellow to green. The entire dragon scale became crystal clear, as if what was placed in the bowl was not a leaf, but a piece of jade.
Everyone stared in astonishment at the changes in the leaves.
Today was truly an eye-opening day; I saw so many strange and wonderful treasures.
Old Hu seemed to remember something and said, "These are the dragon scales from that Fujian province. They're also called sea-run stone!"
Su Mo nodded and said, "That's right, it's a sea-nourishing stone. It's said that fishermen along the coast like to put one of these on their boats to protect them from wind and waves. In arid places, offering a few pieces can also be used to pray for rain!"
"It can be used to make tea and treat asthma. As for whether it's dragon scales, that's probably unlikely. But it's still a rare item!"
"Big Gold Tooth, put it away..."
The big gold tooth's eyes were shining, and it could cure asthma—wasn't that exactly what I wanted? You see, I've had asthma since I was a child.
"Okay, okay, okay!"
As he spoke, Big Gold Tooth, as if he had found a treasure, quickly put it away.
Su Mo then pointed to the twenty-odd treasures on the ground, "Take whatever you like from these treasures, and let Big Gold Tooth sell the rest..."
"hey-hey…"
The fat man knew Su Mo's temper, so he didn't stand on ceremony with him. He chuckled and started picking up the treasures from the ground.
Everyone else took one or two items as well.
The fat man was overjoyed, grinning from ear to ear. "I really don't know why Lei Xianming is so obsessed with ancient corpses. All these antiques and two top-grade antiques combined are not as valuable to him as that thousand-year-old crystal corpse from the glacier?"
Shirley Yang said, "I bet the price they asked for is many times higher than this batch of antiques. Didn't they say that there are countless people overseas who are vying for that crystal corpse..."
The fat man really couldn't understand the nature of these foreigners. He curled his lip and said, "Whatever, why don't we just take that Crystal Moon along with it?"
Old Hu rolled his eyes and said speechlessly, "Get lost, we're tomb raiders, not thugs who double-cross each other..."
The fat man touched his nose. "I was just kidding, just kidding..."
Seeing everyone staring at him, the fat man didn't want to make a fool of himself, so he obediently stepped aside.
Old Hu frowned and looked at Su Mo, "Are we really going to be used as pawns by this Hong Kong guy? Even though he's selling corpses, selling them to foreigners is illegal!"
Old Hu is, after all, a man who served in the military, and he always thinks of the country, making him a politically correct figure in the ranks.
Su Mo smiled. "We helped him find the crystal corpse, but whether he can take it away depends on his fate..."
"And then..."
"The Tibet region still holds the Muchen Pearl and your Red-Eyed Curse. This Lei Xianming also has clues about the Demon Kingdom's mausoleum, so naturally we should go and take a look!"
"..."
Just then, a deep voice called out from outside, "Su Mo!"
Hearing this voice, Su Mo looked somewhat surprised. "Why is he here?"
who is it?
Looking at the expression on Su Mo's face, everyone couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
You should know that after the incident at the Crescent Hotel, apart from them and Yingzi, there weren't many people who dared to call Su Mo by his name directly.
"I'll go take a look..."
Su Mo turned and walked towards the shop. The others were puzzled, but he followed.
Inside the shop, a man in a suit stood with his hands behind his back, looking left and right at the Su family's shop.
Looking at the man, Zhang Yingchuan said in a low voice, "He walks with the stride of a dragon and the gait of a tiger; this is no ordinary person!"
After the Nine Gates boss retired, this guy became one of the top figures, naturally no ordinary person!
Su Mo muttered to himself, then laughed loudly, "Lieutenant, what brings you here?"
"If you want to see me, just say the word, and I'll be there running to pay my respects!"
The person who arrived was Zhang Rishan, one of the few big shots in the Nine Gates who is still active today.
Zhang Rishan turned around, looking at Su Mo with a blank expression, yet exuding an imposing aura that commanded respect. "You took my stone lion, are you not allowed to ask for it back?"
The two stone lions were certainly not worth Zhang Rishan's personal trip. Su Mo knew that Zhang Rishan had ulterior motives for this trip, and laughed loudly, "Hahaha... My adjutant coming to my door is my good fortune..."
Good fortune? What a load of rubbish!
Who knows what kind of wicked scheme this old man is hiding!
