95 Deep Sea Treasure (1/2)
”If it's not ambergris, then what is it?” Chen Fan was both surprised and doubtful. ”It looks exactly like the description of ambergris to me!”
”It was in a fish stomach when you picked it up, and many fishes were fighting over it?” The man at the other end of the phone asked instead.
”There were indeed many fishes fighting over it…” Chen Fan finally realized that it was not mentioned that fishes eat ambergris. Otherwise, it would be eaten up by the fishes no matter how much there was in the ocean.
”This is it. The thing you have looks very much like ambergris. Laymen won't be able to tell the difference.”
”Then what is it exactly?”
The man was silent for a few seconds before saying, ”Where are you from? Can we meet up for a proper discussion?”
”Zhongyun, you?”
”I'm not a Zhongyun local, but I'm currently working in Zhongyun. How about we meet at Yuanshan Teahouse at Yugan Street?”
”Sure, I'll be there in an hour!” Chen Fan decided to meet this mysterious man as he very much wished for the electric eel to be as strong as possible.
”Um, can you bring the item along…”
”I can bring it, but you have to tell me about its origins!” Chen Fan said after thinking for two seconds.
”Alright!”
After hanging up, Chen Fan called Wang Bing on his mobile. Since he went to Myanmar, he had given this guy more than ten days of leave.
”Boss, what is it?”
”Come to the old house in twenty minutes. I'll wait for you at the district entrance!”
”Alright!” Wang Bing replied before hanging up.
After coming home from the internet cafe, Chen Fan wrapped the crystal in a black plastic bag before driving to the district entrance. Twenty minutes later, Wang Bing arrived in a hurry.
”Boss, why did you get me here in such a rush? Are we going for a fight?” Wang Bing said as he ate the pancake in his left hand.
”You take the wheel. I've got something valuable and I'm getting someone's appraisal of it, but I do not know that person well and I'm afraid that he might play tricks.”
”Um, um.” Wang Bing rubbed both hands on his clothes before slipping into the driver's seat.
They took half an hour before arriving at Yuanshan Teahouse. After observing the surrounding, Chen Fan called the man on his mobile to ask for the exact location before getting Wang Bing to go upstairs.
Chen Fan walked to private room number three and knocked gently at the door. The man who opened the door was in his thirties, dressed neatly in a suit, wore golden-rimmed glasses and had a pineapple head hairstyle. He looked refined and well-mannered, definitely way better than Chen Shuguang.
