Chapter 42

Mrs. Yang stared at Yang Bo, "Yang Bo, we mustn't do anything illegal!"

Mr. Yang also nervously watched Yang Bo. Although Yang Bo had already taken out hundreds of thousands of yuan, which had surprised them greatly, this time it was a million yuan, more than he had ever earned in his entire life!

Yang Bo shook his head and smiled, "Mom, don't worry. How could I do anything illegal? A few days ago, I bought a stone ink slab and sold it for over a million!"

As he spoke, Yang Bo took out another card, "Keep this card for medical expenses, and use this one for living expenses during this period. Buy more supplements."

Mr. Yang refused, "I can't take this card. You should keep the money you earn for yourself. Your father and I are old. We didn't leave you much, so you'll have to rely on yourself in the future!"

Yang Bo still handed the card to his mother and smiled, "Since I can earn money now, I will definitely be able to earn more in the future. Don't worry!"

Mrs. Yang weighed the bank card in her hand, as if trying to gauge the balance, "How much is on this card?"

"Ten thousand yuan," Yang Bo said.

Mrs. Yang held the card, somewhat dazed, and after a long pause, she said, "Xiao Bo, you can earn money, more than your brother. Your brother is already twenty-six and is about to..."

"Don't mention him!" Mr. Yang interrupted, scolding his wife.

Yang Bo was silent. He understood his mother's meaning. She wanted to give money to Yang Lang. For Yang Bo, he had no hatred towards Yang Lang. When he had no money, he wanted to bring Yang Lang to the city to take care of his parents. But Yang Lang ultimately left resolutely, leaving him feeling helpless and cutting off any thoughts of directly giving him money. If someone is unfilial, he wouldn't have much feeling for them, and even if he gave them money, they might not do anything good with it!

"Mom, I understand what you mean. It's not that I don't care about him, but in his current state, even if I gave him the million, would he settle down and start a family?" Yang Bo said.

Mrs. Yang was silent for a while before saying, "Maybe it would give him some hope!"

Yang Bo didn't say much more, but his meaning was clear.

Mrs. Yang's face was a bit unhappy. Both her children were her flesh and blood, but her eldest son had always been mischievous, so she naturally paid more attention to him.

The ward was somewhat gloomy, and the TV was broadcasting Jinling news.

"Early this morning, the Jinling police, based on intelligence, searched a residential house and discovered an underground antique auction site. They arrested over thirty suspects on the spot. The police invited antique experts to appraise the items, and they found five second-grade antiques, 133 third-grade antiques, and dozens of ordinary antiques! This is the largest such case ever found in Jinling..."

As the scene changed, a shot of Yang Bo appraising antiques appeared. Mrs. Yang, who had been glancing at the TV casually, suddenly exclaimed, "Old man, look quickly, that's Xiao Bo, he's on TV!"

Mr. Yang looked up and saw the text introducing Yang Bo's identity on the screen. His eyes were blurry, so he asked, "What does that line say?"

"That line says 'Jinling Antiquities Appraisal Expert,'" someone replied.

Yang Bo turned around and saw a pretty young nurse entering, but she wasn't the nurse for this ward. He looked at his parents curiously.

Mrs. Yang smiled, "Xiao Xuan, are you looking for Xiao Yu? She's not here right now."

Xiao Xuan, who looked to be in her late teens, smiled sweetly, "Auntie, I just heard that Uncle was taken to the emergency room, so I came to see if you need any help!"

Mrs. Yang seemed to like her very much and walked over to hold the young girl's hand, "Xiao Xuan is such a good girl. She's about the same age as our Xiao Bo, yet she's already so sensible and well-behaved. Any family that marries a daughter-in-law like her would be so lucky!"

Xiao Xuan blushed, "Auntie, it's too early for that!"

Yang Bo glanced over but didn't say anything, thinking about what he should do next.

After receiving a huge transfer of 3.5 million yuan from Luo Yaohua, he had only given his mother 1.1 million, leaving him with over 2.6 million. With enough money for medical expenses, Yang Bo suddenly felt a sense of relief.

Once the heavy burden was lifted, Yang Bo felt a bit at a loss. Two million yuan could buy a nice property, but what about after that? Get married and have children?

Yang Bo felt lost.

His phone rang, and he picked it up, noticing that the nurse had left.

"Yang Bo, have you ever participated in an auction before?" Captain Liang asked urgently.

Yang Bo was taken aback but didn't hide it, "Yes, once."

"Deputy Director Qu has already implicated you in the interrogation. This is a bit troublesome. He's not afraid of making a big fuss and is randomly implicating people!" Captain Liang said angrily.

Yang Bo was greatly surprised. He knew that participating in an underground antique auction wasn't a serious crime, and most people involved usually had some background. In such situations, it was best to keep quiet and work behind the scenes to get out. Deputy Director Qu's actions clearly showed he was afraid of the situation not being big enough!

"What is he trying to do? Does he want to die?" Yang Bo asked.

"He has some dirty secrets. This time, he exposed what he did at the museum. Do you know what he did? He replaced the museum's antiques with fakes and then sold them at Mei Lao San's auction!" Captain Liang explained.

Yang Bo was shocked. He walked out of the ward and paced the corridor. The news was too shocking. He had met Deputy Director Qu a few times and always felt that the man was petty and narrow-minded, but he never imagined he would do something so outrageous!

"He confessed that you once bought a Han Dynasty jade dancer at an underground auction, which he had stolen from the museum!"

Captain Liang's next words made Yang Bo stop in the corridor, his mind racing with various memories. The lucky find at the night market might have been a coincidence, and the partnership at Bogu Hall to trick him was probably due to those two people's nature. But the bidding at the underground auction was clearly orchestrated by Deputy Director Qu to drive up the price!

Otherwise, why would a deputy director deliberately oppose a young man like him?

Everything became clear, and Yang Bo was drenched in cold sweat, "Captain Liang, how do we resolve this?"

"The antiques in the museum will definitely be investigated, but some things can be explained. Just remember one thing: you are my informant. You participated in the auction to gather information!" Captain Liang said solemnly.
