Chapter 58

"Everyone's here, Sheng Brother, what are you planning to do?" Liu Hao helped Chen Dasheng park the bicycle to the side and led Chen Dasheng into the hotel, but he couldn't help feeling puzzled.

"I'll tell you in a moment!" Chen Dasheng didn't give a detailed answer and went straight into the elevator with Liu Hao.

Second floor.

Seeing the three old men Liu Hao had brought, a satisfied smile appeared on Chen Dasheng's face. Although he had never met them, they were familiar faces, as Chen Dasheng had watched the "Treasure Hunt" program on Rongcheng TV many times.

Whether it was antiques, calligraphy, or gold and jade, they could determine the authenticity with just a glance. Chen Dasheng had been very impressed by these three old men.

"Today, I'm troubling the three of you. I need a small favor!" Introduced by Liu Hao, Chen Dasheng got to know all three of them. Without much formalities, he directly explained his purpose.

The three men looked at Chen Dasheng with puzzled expressions, guessing his identity. Seeing how Liu Hao and the others treated Chen Dasheng with great respect, they figured this simply dressed young man must be someone important.

Cao Dongsheng, who was more tactful, immediately said, "Mr. Chen, do you have a treasure for us to authenticate?"

"Please sit down!" Chen Dasheng sat down himself and invited the three to sit as well, smiling, "You could say that. I have a friend who has an ancient bracelet and wants you three to appraise it and determine its age!"

Hearing this, the three men's expressions relaxed. It was just this kind of thing; they were in this line of work, and it was a piece of cake for them.

Li Zhongqing said, "This is a small matter, we are happy to help. Mr. Chen, please take out the bracelet for us to see!"

"The bracelet is not with me. I'll bring her over in a moment!" Chen Dasheng waved his hand and stared at the three men, "But there's something I need to clarify first."

"Go ahead, Mr. Chen!" Cao Dongsheng said.

Chen Dasheng furrowed his brows and said meaningfully, "I want the three of you to know that this is a bracelet worn by Yang Yuhuan, the imperial concubine of the Tang Dynasty, and it's valued at one million yuan. Do you understand what I mean?"

Hearing this, the three men's brows furrowed with confusion. Liao Kang said, "What do you mean, Mr. Chen?"

Seeing that the three men didn't understand, Chen Dasheng decided to be straightforward, "My point is, whether the bracelet is real or not, it is real, and it's worth one million yuan!"

The three men looked at each other, and Li Zhongqing said, "Mr. Chen, I still don't understand what you mean!"

"Damn, are your brains full of shit? Sheng Brother has already told you, and you still don't get it?" Seeing the three old men still asking questions, Liu Hao couldn't help but lose his temper.

The three men were startled by Liu Hao's fierce expression. Chen Dasheng turned and glared at Liu Hao, "You understand, so you explain it to them!"

Liu Hao nodded and said to the three old men, "Sheng Brother means that when we see the bracelet, even if it's a street vendor's item, you have to say it's real, a genuine Tang Dynasty bracelet worn by Yang Yuhuan, and you have to appraise it at one million yuan!"

"Is that right, Sheng Brother?" Liu Hao turned to Chen Dasheng, and his fierce expression immediately turned into a smile.

Chen Dasheng nodded slightly, "It seems you're not that stupid!"

Liu Hao's face twitched, and he turned to the three old men, "Do you understand?"

Among the three, Li Zhongqing and Liao Kang frowned, and their expressions turned sour.

"What's wrong, the two of you have difficulties?" Chen Dasheng saw their expressions and frowned.

Li Zhongqing bit his lip and said with difficulty, "In our line of work, reputation is the most important. It's not easy for us to be where we are today. Mr. Chen, you're asking us to lie and say a fake is real, which I really can't do."

Liao Kang also said, "That's right, Mr. Chen. In our profession, we value professional ethics the most. If the bracelet is real, we'll say it's real. If we know it's fake, we can't say it's real. That would not only ruin our conscience and reputation but also harm others!"

Cao Dongsheng remained silent. He was originally a tomb raider, and professional ethics meant nothing to him. Although he had cleaned up his act in recent years, it was easy to clean the outside but hard to clean the inside.

"You two old men, talking about professional ethics!" Liu Hao was furious, slamming the table, which made the two men jump, "Do you know who Sheng Brother is? Being able to do something for Sheng Brother is a blessing you've earned in your lifetime. Let me tell you, whatever Sheng Brother says is the law. If you dare to say anything wrong, don't blame me, Liu Hao, for being ruthless. I know exactly where you live..."

Chen Dasheng quickly pulled Liu Hao back and said to Cao Dongsheng and the others with a smile, "The two of you, I'm not doing this to harm anyone but to help someone. My friend's father was in a car accident and needs money for surgery. I offered her money, but she refused to accept it. So, I had to resort to this plan. I hope the three of you can help me put on a show. I promise you'll be well rewarded afterward!"

The two men's faces showed a struggle, and it was clear they were hesitating. Chen Dasheng's words weren't very tempting, but they were afraid of Liu Hao's threats.

Liu Hao was a notorious playboy who could do anything. This time, Liu Rongfa had personally called them and asked them to help. If they didn't do it well, they would offend Liu Rongfa. If they were alone, it might be easier, but with families, how could they fight the Liu family? Moreover, there were so many rich young men here, and any one of them was someone they couldn't afford to offend, let alone the mysterious young man whom even Liu Hao treated with respect.

The two men exchanged glances and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes. Liao Kang seemed to have made a difficult decision and nodded at Chen Dasheng, "If it's really to save someone, as Mr. Chen said, we are willing to help."

Turning to Li Zhongqing, seeing him nod as well, Chen Dasheng felt relieved and said, "That's great. The three of you can rest assured. Only the people here will know about this, and it won't affect your reputations!"

Hearing this, the two men felt somewhat relieved. They were respected figures, and it was difficult for them to lie, especially for Li Zhongqing, who was a professor at Rongcheng University. For him, reputation was secondary; the hardest part was overcoming the moral dilemma.

Now, they could only hope that the bracelet Chen Dasheng mentioned was genuine, so they wouldn't have to struggle so much.

Liu Hao gave the three men a look that said, "You're smart," and turned to Chen Dasheng, "Sheng Brother, why did you ask me to bring my brothers here?"

Chen Dasheng looked at the excited second-generation tycoons and said, "My friend needs money urgently. After the three of you appraise the bracelet, you all need to bid for it. If you don't have enough money, I'll cover the difference!"

"Sheng Brother, rest assured, we'll do it well!"

"The bracelet worn by Yang Yuhuan must be worth a fortune. Don't fight with me over it!"

"Damn, who do you think you are..."

...

The tycoons patted their wallets and pledged their loyalty to Chen Dasheng, who smiled slightly.

Liu Hao said, "Guys, put on a good show. If anyone messes up, not only will Sheng Brother not forgive him, but I, Liu Hao, will be the first to deal with him!"

This was more of a warning to the three experts than to the tycoons. Cao Dongsheng didn't care much and did as he was told, but Li Zhongqing and Liao Kang looked very uncomfortable.

"Alright, I'll go pick her up now. You can practice in the meantime!" Chen Dasheng smiled and stood up.

"Sheng Brother, I'll take you there!" Liu Hao offered.

Chen Dasheng waved his hand, "I'll go myself."

"Then I'll see you off downstairs!"

Liu Hao smiled and followed Chen Dasheng downstairs, leaving the tycoons practicing and the experts sighing.

"Sheng Brother, I'm so moved!" Liu Hao said as they went downstairs.

Chen Dasheng turned and saw the overly excited expression on Liu Hao's face, and couldn't help but laugh, "What are you moved by?"

Liu Hao asked curiously, "The girl must be very beautiful, right?"

"Did I say it was a girl?" Chen Dasheng was a bit surprised.

Liu Hao chuckled, "If it's not a beautiful girl, I'll write my name backward. I'll have to see her for myself."

"No!" Chen Dasheng quickly said, "You can't show up. Find a place to hide!"

"Why?" Liu Hao's voice rose an octave. Did Chen Dasheng bring a dinosaur?

Chen Dasheng said, "You've seen the girl before."

"You've seen her?" Liu Hao was taken aback.

Chen Dasheng rolled his eyes, "Han Ruoxue, do you remember her?"

"Han Ruoxue? It's her?" Liu Hao suddenly understood. He had not only seen her but also pursued her, though she had never given him a good look.

"She's a rare beauty. No wonder you're willing to go through so much for her! I pursued her before, but she never gave me a chance." Liu Hao chuckled, "Sheng Brother's way with women is better. This way, she'll be so moved that she'll offer herself to you!"

"Get lost!" Chen Dasheng rolled his eyes, "This must be kept a secret from her, or I'll skin you alive!"

"Sure, sure, Sheng Brother, I won't say a word!" Liu Hao nodded with a smile.

"I'm leaving. You can't show up, and anyone who has seen Han Ruoxue must be taken away. If anything goes wrong, I'll hold you responsible." If Liu Hao hadn't reminded him, Chen Dasheng would have almost forgotten. If Han Ruoxue came and saw Liu Hao here, it would be a mess.
