Chapter 168 – Vase Incident (2/2)

“Now that you said it, that really does seem like the case! Thinking about it, if he clearly knows that the vase would break, then why would he use a real one! A fake one can work the same!” Xu Er nodded.

“Precisely! That’s why the fragment of the vase is the key to the issue!” I sad.

“Okay, then I’ll go and ask for the fragments now!” said Xu Er.

“I’ll go with you, you are too honest, and don’t know the evilness of people!” I said. “I’m worried that he would make it difficult for you!”

Du Xiaowei drove the three of us to the place that Xu Er talked about.

Xu Er was right, this person was a rich person. The compound he was living in was a very high-class one. All the apartments inside were duplexes. What’s more, I already knew beforehand that the person in question was called Lv Baoqiang.

Lv Baoqiang opened the door and was surprised to see three people. He didn’t expect that Xu Er, a non-local, would find two helpers. However, he didn’t think much of it, he didn’t believe that this sort of certain thing would change anything.

“Xu Er, did you come to bring me the money or are you prepared to agree to my terms? My patience is limited!” said Lv Baoqiang.

“Mr. Lv, we came here this time to discuss about it with you!” I spoke up first.

“Who are you? Are your words of any use?” Lv Baoqiang looked at me and asked.

“I am the person Xu Er called over to deal with this. What I say represents what Xu Er says,” I replied.

“Is that the case?” Lv Baoqiang looked at Xu Er.

Xu Er nodded.

Only then did Lv Baoqiang said unhappily to me, “Then let’s discuss about what should be done!”

“Alright, you said that Xu Er’s little sister broke a vase, where’s the vase?” I asked directly.

“Vase? What are you asking about that for!” Lv Baoqiang looked at me vigilantly.

“You said that she broke a vase from the Ming Dynasty, I haven’t even seen the vase, so why should I believe you?” I asked.

“Alright! Then I’ll show you!” Lv Baoqiang turned around and went into the study, then took out a box, which he handed to me.

I opened to take a look. It was the fragments of a clay vase. Due to my work, I would often accompany my clients to antique auctions, so I did have some appraisal ability. Although I wasn’t a professional, I was certain that the fragments in front of me was something from the Ming Dynasty, which he claimed. This sort of low quality trash wasn’t any different from the clay stuff that sold for two yuan by the streets!
