Chapter 60

The surgery was over, and no one had told Mr. Yang about the cancer cells spreading. Mr. Yang's mood was actually quite good, but he looked a bit displeased when he heard that Yang Lang had come and left on the same day.

Yang Bo felt a weight lifted from his heart. Although the doctor had said there were still some issues, at least the obsession of the past year was over. He felt he finally had the strength and energy to do other things.

The antique shop was still under renovation, and Yang Bo would often go to supervise the work. Luo Yaohua, Cao Yuande, and Liu Liangyu had all come to the hospital to visit Old Yang and had helped a lot.

One day, as Yang Bo walked out of the shop, he was about to go to Jiyatang for a sit when he saw someone that made him pause.

"Brother Yang, you're coming out from here? Isn't this place under renovation? Could it be that you've taken over this shop?"

Li Er's eyes widened. He had been eyeing this shop for a long time, but when Jia Huairen transferred it, he wasn't in Nanjing. The next day, when he went there, it had already been transferred. He heard that the new owner's surname was Yang. Could it be the person in front of him?

Yang Bo smiled, knowing that such a thing couldn't be hidden for long, so he didn't hide it. "I just took it over recently."

Li Er clasped his hands together. "Congratulations, Brother Yang! I didn't expect it! With such a good location, you'll surely have a steady stream of wealth in the future!"

Yang Bo smiled. "Then I'll take your good words!"

Li Er said a few more insincere words before looking at Yang Bo. "Brother Yang, the other day when we were all gathered around the bronze ding, the police came, and I and Mr. Lu had to retreat. You know, Mr. Lu has a different status. Even if he were caught, he would definitely be released, but it would still be a loss of face."

"At that time, I didn't pull you back with us, I'm really sorry!"

Li Er's face was full of apology, and he clasped his hands together, seemingly very sincere.

Yang Bo, of course, understood the reason. Mr. Lu was a billionaire, and it wasn't good to involve him. Actually, it had nothing to do with him.

"You're too polite. At that time, I didn't have time to run away, so I can't blame anyone. Fortunately, the bronze ding was just a forgery, and I just gave a simple statement and came back. It didn't take much effort!" Yang Bo said with a smile.

Li Er shook his head. "If I hadn't pulled you to appraise it, you would have already left."

As he spoke, Li Er suddenly thought of something and looked up. "Brother Yang, I'm going to take Mr. Lu to Taizhou tomorrow to discuss a business deal. If you have time, would you like to come along?"

Yang Bo initially wanted to decline, but then he thought, Mr. Lu is a billionaire. If he personally goes, it must be something extraordinary. Moreover, if he could use this opportunity to get to know Mr. Lu, wouldn't it make it easier to deal with antiques in the future?

With this thought, Yang Bo nodded. "Sure, it would be an honor to go with Mr. Li and Mr. Lu!"

Li Er smiled. "Brother Yang, since you dared to take over the antique shop, it shows you have confidence in your abilities. When the time comes, I hope you can help us with the appraisal!"

Yang Bo took this as a polite remark. With Mr. Lu's status, wouldn't he bring an appraiser when buying antiques? Last time, he didn't see an appraiser, and this time, would he go alone?

"Mr. Li, you're too polite. I don't have much skill, I can only offer some minor advice!" Yang Bo said humbly and then asked, "When a big boss like Mr. Lu goes to look at items, which appraiser does he usually bring?"

"Usually Professor Cao!" Li Er didn't hide it.

Yang Bo smiled. "That's even better!"

The next day, when Yang Bo arrived at the agreed time, he soon saw Cao Yuande and Lu Dongxing walking over.

Cao Yuande was as thin as a bamboo pole, while Lu Dongxing, though not fat, had a round waist and a big head. The contrast between the two was obvious, making people want to laugh.

Cao Yuande saw Yang Bo and was a bit surprised. "Little Yang, I didn't expect you to come!"

Yang Bo nodded and smiled. "I came unexpectedly, Professor Cao, you're surprised!"

Lu Dongxing, seeing Yang Bo, remembered the young man who had helped him appraise the bronze ding that day. He smiled. "So the friend Li Er mentioned is Little Yang! Welcome, welcome!"

They shook hands, and Lu Dongxing asked, "It was a pity that we didn't get the bronze ding that day."

Turning to Yang Bo, he quickly explained, "I just wanted to collect a bronze vessel, not to buy illegal items!"

Cao Yuande waved his hand. "Old Lu, you don't need to explain. If the police hadn't shown up, you would have taken it. Of course, the person in front of you isn't a police officer or a moral model. I bet if the bronze vessel had been genuine, this guy would have moved faster than you!"

Yang Bo chuckled, which made Lu Dongxing ask, "Little Yang, was the bronze vessel really a fake that day?"

"It has been appraised as a fake, and the police even found the forgery den!" Yang Bo said.

Lu Dongxing was a bit anxious. "Little Yang, you're not being honest. I just want to know, did you already see it was fake before we met that day?"

Yang Bo looked embarrassed and didn't speak. How could he say such a thing?

Seeing Yang Bo's silence, Lu Dongxing shook his head and smiled bitterly. "I'm really disappointed. Actually, when I saw it, I thought it was genuine! But at least this shows your level!"

Because of this little episode, Yang Bo easily blended in. Cao Yuande, intentionally or unintentionally, mentioned some of Yang Bo's deeds, especially how he had saved his father by finding a rare item, which quickly won Lu Dongxing's trust and admiration.

A filial person must have good character!

Because of Yang Bo's presence, Li Er was pushed to the back seat of the car, which made Yang Bo feel a bit guilty, as Li Er had brought him along this time.

Li Er didn't mind and even comforted him a bit.

Yang Bo was curious about the item they were going to see but didn't want to ask too much. The two-hour drive passed quickly, and when they arrived in Taixing, Yang Bo's curiosity grew even more.

The car slowly drove into a high-end villa complex. Yang Bo carefully observed as the car slowly stopped. Lu Dongxing got out first, and Cao Yuande held back Yang Bo, whispering, "Look more, talk less."

Yang Bo nodded, understanding that he was still a minor figure. Being able to participate was already a favor. If anything went wrong because of him, the loss would be significant!
