In the morning, the Lin family sat in the dining room for breakfast. Lin Yi didn't see Lin Hao, so he asked by the way, "Why didn't Lin Hao come out for breakfast, is he sleeping again?"
Uncle Lin glanced at Lin Liang who was picking up steamed dumplings, and said nothing. Aunt Zhou Ping finally found an outlet to vent her grievances, and she shed tears, "This kid, I don't know who he has provoke outside. he was beaten up so badly that he can't even walk, the day before yesterday when he was brought back by his friend, I was terrified."" Zhou Ping said while wiping her tears, "He is injured everywhere, so how can he come out to eat! I want to send him to the hospital but he refused to go, I also asked him who beat him, but he also refused to answer, his temper is just like his father stinky and hard-tempered."
Lin Wang, who was mentioned inexplicably and strangely, cast a slanted look to his wife, "he's a dumb guy, he deserves to be beaten to death."
Zhou Ping who was angry wanted to talk back to him, but was interrupted by her sister-in-law Lin Liting. Lin Liting looked at Lin Liang meaningfully, "How do I say this, Lin Hao is also your cousin, even if he is not right, you at least consider your uncle and aunt and give them some face and show him some mercy. Don't you think it's too much for you to hit your own family member so hard?"
Lin Liang pulled a face and slapped his chopsticks on the table. Zhang Shuxue, who was sitting diagonally across from him, was startled. The bun in her hand fell to the ground with a flick of her hand. Lin Liting was shocked when she saw her baby girl in this way, ah was so angry that her eyelids trembled.
"I'm full." Lin Liang stood up as he said.
Lin Yi frowned, tapped his fingers on the table a few times, Lin Liang lowered his head helplessly, and reluctantly drank half the cup of hot milk in one breath.
Only then was Lin Yi satisfied and let him go. Lin Liang left the restaurant, walked all the way out, and then directly got into the black car that was waiting outside for him at the door.
From the time Lin Liang put down his chopsticks to the time he left the restaurant, he didn't even give Lin Wang and Lin Liting a single look from beginning to end. Who beat up Lin Hao? Everyone except Lin Yi knew it well. It was Lin Hao's dogish virtue that he didn't complain to his mother.
However, they are in the wrong, so they can only hold it in, and act in front of Lin Yi. Lin Liang felt disgusted when he saw their clumsy acting skills, and couldn't eat anymore, so he put down his chopsticks.
He still has a lot of work to do, and he has no time to watch the monkey show.
After getting off the car, Lin Liang entered an antique shop called Gubaozhai. It was Liu Zhao, the son of Lin's housekeeper, who was in charge of this shop. Liu Zhao had already been waiting for him in the shop, when he saw Lin Liang walk in he hurried to greet him. "Does the young master want any gadgets? Just tell me what you want. I'll send them to you. There is no need to come all the way here."
Lin Liang stopped and looked at him, "there's nothing I want, it's Saturday, I'm bored at home, so I came over."
As he spoke, he walked in, and Liu Zhao followed Lin Liang with a smile. Lin Liang took a walk around the whole antique shop and took pictures of antiques with his mobile phone from time to time, he was taking a look on the products very seriously. The antique shop is huge, after all, it was opened by the original owner's grandfather Lin Su.
Lin Su liked to collect antiques in his later years and he collected a lot of good things. Later, he opened such an antique shop casually, not for making money, but purely for hobbies.
The antique shop is very large and the design is very quaint. There are also several separate tea rooms for friends to drink tea while seeing the antiques.
Lin Liang walked around in the antique shop, frowning deeply unconsciously, Liu Zhao who stood beside Lin Liang, was whispering a little guiltily in his heart, but he didn't dare to ask more.
"Bring me the ledgers and all the entry and exit vouchers for the antiques in the shop since my grandfather's death. I want to see them." Lin Liang said to Liu Zhao after entering a tea room.
Although antique shops also use electronic accounting, the amount of antiques involved is relatively large after all, and account records are indispensable.
At this time, Liu Zhao was already a little panicked. He forcedly said to Lin Liang, "Young master can just ask me if you have any questions. I have seen and read too many old accounts for several years, and I feel dizzy from reading all of them. Young Master doesn't need to find them for himself since you will get dizzy from how much is written in them."
Lin Liang looked at him meaningfully, "From now on, I have to check the monthly accounts in the store. I am already 18 years old and can manage this store by myself."
Liu Zhao can be sure that he is doing a perfect job on the accounts, isn't it an antique? Anyway How many people can distinguish between fake antiques and real antiques? Those fakes in the shop are more than enough to fool the innocent young master.
So think Liu Zhaoge also do not worry about it, smiling at Lin Liang: "This shop was originally owned by the young master. Of course it is good for the young master to come back and take care of it. I will have more time to spend with my girlfriend in the future."
Liu Zhao turned around and went out. Lin Liang looked at his back and sighed. Liu Zhao is the only son of Liu Fan who is the head butler of the Lin family's official family. In fact, his character is not bad, and he is sincere to the Lin family. In recent years, in order to pay off gambling debts, almost all the valuable antiques in the store have been secretly sold on the black market and replaced with fakes.
The good thing is that Lin Su's really valuable things are not here, but in the Lin family's secret warehouse, the keys to the warehouse were given by Lin Su to the original owner before he died . And what is in there is the real wealth that the Lin family has accumulated through generations of business.
After Liu Zhao left, Lin Liang took out his ultra-thin tablet computer from his backpack and recorded the fake antiques that he saw in the store just now, which can be determined to be fakes. He had studied antiques in his previous life. Although he is in a different world after transmigrating to the book , his knowledge was similar to the original owner, and the dynasties of the two worlds were kind of similar, the difference wasn't that much.
After Lin Laing transmigrated, he bought some antiques and history books, and read them in his free time. He would also check some related information on the Internet. Although he is not an antique expert, he at least can be called an expert compared to normal people.
After a while Liu Zhao brought the books and vouchers and piled them on the table in front of Lin Liang. Lin Liang looked at the books while using the computer to write records, Liu Zhao saw that Lin Liang was being so serious, and his heart began to feel a little uneasy.
Time passed minute by minute, during which Liu Zhao went out from time to time, walked around the store a few times, and came back. He panicked, and couldn't stand it anymore, so he went out for a walk, but after leaving the tea room, he felt uneasy, so he would walk back inside.
This was repeated several times, and it became eleven o'clock at noon. By that time Lin Liang has only checked one third of the books piled up in front of him.
However, the amount of money that was taken has already broke ten million, if the accounts are all sorted out and handed to the police with Liu Zhaoge, Liu Zhaoge will have to spend the rest of his life in jail.
But Steward Liu has worked in the Lin family for decades, and has served three generations of the Lin family, he is already 70 years old, and has just one son.
Lin Liang's gaze fell on Lin Zhao, angry and helpless, "When can you quit gambling? In just three years, hundreds of millions of dollars of assets have been lost from this store. Do you want to spend the rest of your life in prison? Your father is seventy years old, how do you want him to live in the future, he has served the Lin family for more than fifty years, he is been loyal and faithful, finally because of you, an unfilial son, who became a thief of the Lin family, won't he be angry with you to death!"
Liu Zhao knelt on the ground with a thump, his nose and tears streaming together: "Master, you forgive me! I can't help it, If I didn't give them the money, casinos and loan sharks will beat me to death. I beg you just look at me ......."
Looking at Liu Zhaoge, who was crying on his knees, Lin Liang angrily interrupted him, "It is for the sake of your father that you are not being taken to the police station for questioning now."
Pressing down the anger in his heart, Lin Liang helplessly knocked on the table and said, "The amount you are involved in is too big. I have to discuss with my brother about what to do."
Lin Liang made a phone call and in less than ten minutes, the entire antique store was filled with bodyguards in suits. The financial officer who came from the MS walked into the private room and began to follow Lin Liang's instructions to review the accounts that Lin Liang had not checked.
