Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Chapter 391 Reversal!Are you still talking tough even when you are about to die?

"I'm here to meet my old friend." Mr. Chen said with a smile.

Because they knew about Lin Ran and Lei Jiangtao's bet, when the car stopped, everyone's eyes were focused on these two people.

But they were not sure that this was Mr. Chen.

However, there are still discerning people in teahouses.

A customer shouted on the spot: "It's really Mr. Chen!"

"How is that possible? Wasn't the kid just talking nonsense?"

"Mr. Chen has always lived in seclusion. Did he really come to the teahouse?"

Everyone's expressions were excited, but also a little shocked.

After all, as people in the literary and entertainment circles, we all more or less admire authority.

Mr. Chen is one of the three elders of the National Palace Museum. He has been engaged in the research of cultural relics since the founding of the People's Republic of China and is considered a celebrity in the industry.

This is especially true in Yanjiao, where local appraisers all follow Mr. Chen as an example.

After parking the car, Mr. Chen's grandson followed him into the teahouse.

The teahouse owner immediately came up to us and said respectfully: "Mr. Chen, your presence has made the shop more prosperous. Please take a seat. What kind of tea would you like to drink?"

He was really impressed now. Lin Ran seemed to be just a young boy, but he really invited Mr. Chen here.

The teahouse owner secretly said to the waiter: "Go and bring the camera. We will take pictures later."

After the store clerk went down to work, Mr. Chen smiled and said, "Boss, where is my little friend?"

"On the second floor, please come this way."

In fact, Lei Jiangtao and his men had already seen Mr. Chen through the window just now.

Lei Jiangtao, in particular, was extremely shocked.

He couldn't believe it to death that Lin Ran actually called Mr. Chen here.

Now it was his turn to feel a little panicked. When Mr. Chen came, his identity would naturally be exposed.

He winked at his men and signaled them to cover him. He wanted to slip away in the name of going to the toilet.

However, when they called just now, the teahouse owner started to pay attention to them, and naturally he would not let him leave easily.

At this time, Lei Jiangtao's men were also shrewd.

Seeing that things are about to be exposed, the 36 strategies are the best.

The men abandoned Lei Jiangtao and ran away alone, which made Lei Jiangtao very angry.

His subordinates also knew that if they were selling counterfeit goods, they could use cutting rules to obscure it.

But they are really trying to swindle money. As charlatans, if they are caught, they want their money back!

Mr. Chen and the teahouse owner came to the second floor together.

Lei Jiangtao was still praying silently in his heart: "Mr. Chen should just be passing by here. I have a relationship with him, maybe we can have a relationship..."

Like a dead horse, Lei Jiangtao stood up, looking as if he was about to greet Mr. Chen.

The onlookers who didn't know the truth looked at Mr. Chen excitedly.

A researcher who can be called a living fossil, if we can see his true face, today's visit will be in vain.

Lei Jiangtao wanted to get closer, but Mr. Chen was already in front of Lin Ran.

Lin Ran looked at Mr. Chen with a smile, went to help him, and said, "Mr. Chen, you are here."

Mr. Chen also squinted his eyes and replied: "Master Lin, we live quite far away. I've been waiting for a long time."

The onlookers are not fools.

This is a conversation that can only happen between friends.

Mr. Chen, it was Lin Ran who called here!

What's even more amazing is that Chen Laode, who was highly respected, showed a kind of politeness and respect when facing Lin Ran, which undoubtedly shocked the jaws of the people around him.

They originally thought that even if Mr. Chen was called by Lin Ran, they could only ask Mr. Chen to reveal Lei Jiangtao's true identity.

But didn't expect their relationship to be so close?It's just a year-end friendship.

How did Lin Ran do this?

Although Mr. Chen is approachable, he also has the pride of a scholar and does not show respect to anyone.

Mr. Chen was used to talking to Lin Ran in this tone, so he didn't find it strange.

After all, they usually discuss cultural relics and get along like old friends.

Lin Ran said to Mr. Chen: "Mr. Chen, it's good that you are here."

He pointed at Lei Jiangtao with a smile: "This is Mr. Lei. It is said that he is Director Tang's junior brother. Do you know?"

Mr. Chen already knew the general situation from the phone call and looked at Lei Jiangtao with a frown.

He rarely showed a trace of sullenness: "Who are you? Why do you lie to people in the name of curator?"

Lei Jiangtao also wanted to quibble: "Mr. Chen, I'm not lying, I really am..."

"Still saying no." Lin Ran has now grasped the victory. The guy in front of him is so good at deceiving people. He must be allowed to fall here now.

He invited the fat middle-aged man just now to the teahouse. The fat man looked at Lei Jiangtao with murderous eyes and yelled: "You liar! Give me back my hard-earned money!"

"Why did I cheat you of your money?" Lei Jiangtao was panicking, but he pretended to be calm on the surface.

He knew that if he admitted defeat now, he would be dead.

No matter what, we must fight to the death.

"I wonder if you still remember that he appraised the dragon-shaped jade pendant just now and deliberately told the price in front of everyone?" Lin Ran recounted the scene of the appraisal just now.

"As for other cultural relic appraisals, most of them just click on it and don't specifically mention the price."

"The reason why he wanted to emphasize that it was genuine and priceless was to deepen the impression of the onlookers."

"I don't know how many days of appraisals everyone here has seen, but if you think about it carefully, is there a fixed number of people who ship each shipment?"

Lin Ran said righteously.

Everyone was in an uproar, but if it wasn't for Lin Ran's reminder, they really didn't notice this.

His words caused an uproar.

The faces of the onlookers were filled with astonishment, and then even more filled with anger.

They were not fools, they were just influenced by the appraisal atmosphere at that time.

Lei Jiangtao is good at heightening the atmosphere. A group of people are calling him an expert and cheering for him.

The onlookers who do not know the truth will naturally be affected by the atmosphere and be brainwashed unknowingly.

Only when someone with more authority comes forward will they suddenly realize.

"When he said this, I seemed to have an impression that several people with particularly valuable cultural relics were all old faces."

"Yes, and they are all cultural relics worth more than 1000 yuan. How could you be so lucky?"

"But weren't all the cultural relics taken away?"

At this time, the fat man with a gray face stood up angrily and said: "He deliberately lured us to buy cultural relics! I am interested in the dragon-shaped jade pendant. He told me that he was in a hurry to return to his hometown and needed to collect travel expenses, so he only needed 1000 yuan. Just sell it to me.”

At this point, he looked very annoyed.

Obviously, he also suffered a big loss because of his greed for petty advantages.

Crowds are easily incited and their emotions can easily become extreme.

If they believed in Lei Jiangtao before, now they hate him.

Facing everyone's gaze, Lei Jiangtao finally couldn't hold back the panic in his heart.

He argued: "No, I don't know them at all. I only told them the price when they asked for it themselves."

He said to the fat man: "Do you have proof that he and I are in the same group?"

The fat man was speechless for a moment. Although everyone could guess it, if we really want to get evidence, we have to catch the stall owner.

The teahouse owner sneered: "Don't worry, as long as they are still in Yanjiao, I will definitely be able to find them."

Upon hearing this, Lei Jiangtao temporarily felt relieved.

The teahouse owner is indeed capable, but he also needs time to catch people.

As long as he can get through it, he will leave Yanjiao tonight.

So he continued to quibble: "Also, Mr. Chen may not know that Tang Lanxuan and I really studied under Jiang Zhongyi together!"
