A stall owner said: “I wonder if that little girl stole money behind her family’s back. She spent so much money in vain. I guess she will have to deal with it when she returns.”
The young man shrugged: “She wants to buy it herself, what does this have to do with me.”
“What if her parents come to our door and accuse you of cheating? You have to be careful.” The stall owner added another sentence and suddenly pushed the young man’s arm. “Look, that big customer is here again!”
The stall owners all looked over.
It was an old man in a suit.
His hair and beard were silver-white, but his pace was steady and powerful as he moved, and his imposing aura remained undiminished.
Behind him was a young man, also wearing a suit and tie.
It was rare for customers to dress up like this in the underground market, and Nie Chao also wore casual clothes when he came to play.
The stall owners all knew that a big customer came here yesterday who would spend a lot of money, only buying antiques.
So they also bought a lot of goods today and were waiting for the arrival of the big customers.
The stall owners’ eyes were a little fiery.
The old man walked slowly and leisurely, but today he did not stop at any stall. Instead, he followed the girl who had just left not long ago.
The young man behind him said: “Miss, my master wants to buy the silver coin in your hand for six million and a half. I wonder if you can part with it?”
Ying Zijin stopped and raised her eyebrows slightly.
The young man said in a sincere voice: “If the price is not enough, you can add more.”
The stall owners were all surprised and looked at the young man who was still counting the money.
“What kind of coin is that of yours? Six million is not enough? You actually sold it?”
“Half a tael of silver, it’s a rare commodity! Didn’t you appraise it when you received it?”
The young man glared: “It’s just something I picked up casually. It was dug from the soil, so I just took a casual look. Where can I find a specialized appraisal agency to authenticate it?”
If it was half a silver tael, it was indeed worth six million. It was sold at an international auction a few years ago, it was also a half a silver tael, and it was finally sold for a high price of 7.6 million.
Ying Zijin took out the ancient coin and said, “Okay.”
“Thank you, little girl.” The old man nodded and smiled, “Mu Cheng.”
Mu Cheng understood, took out a bank card and handed it over: “Hello Miss, here is six million, a black card from Laurent Bank, which is accepted internationally.”
There was a golden iris in the upper right corner of this black card.
Ying Zijin took it.
Good thing the bank where she used to keep her gold didn’t fail.
The on-site transaction of 6 million made the stall owners very envious.
The young man was embarrassed and regretful: “I shouldn’t have sold it!”
Six million!
Money was secondary. The most important thing was to be able to pay out six million for a big guest. His family must be prominent. He missed an opportunity to make friends with powerful people.
A stall owner opened his mouth and said, “That little girl is so lucky.”
No one would think that a young girl had profound research on antiques. Even they who had been in this business for many years have not seen anything special about that coin.
The bartender, who had a panoramic view of this scene, said in surprise: “Can this kid you know be able to tell the year of that ancient coin at a glance?”
“Yeah.”
“This joke is so funny.”
Fu Yunshen glanced at him deeply.
The bartender shrugged: “But she is quite indifferent. She looks like she doesn’t want to approach strangers, so she is not easy to get in touch with.”
“What nonsense are you talking about?” Fu Yunshen’s peach blossom eyes narrowed, “Obviously she is well-behaved, nice, and cute.”
The bartender was speechless.
This filter is really too heavy.
He asked again: “Why don’t you go over and say hello? It’s really dangerous for a little girl to leave here with six million. With your skills, why would she need to go to the trouble, you can just let the management staff escort her secretly?”
Fu Yunshen’s eyelashes twitched: “I can’t go.”
The bartender was stunned: “Why?”
“Well -” Fu Yunshen pondered for a moment, “I have to take care of her emotions. After all, we just said good night to each other two hours ago.”
If they met again in the underground market, wouldn’t it be embarrassing?
Although he had already guessed that she would come to the underground market after hearing Nie Chao’s words, and he waited just in time.
The bartender was speechless: “I see that after you came back, you spent all your time trying to please women.”
“What about you?” Fu Yunshen lowered his head to mix the drink, “Do I need to do it?”
The bartender looked at it. This man’s face confused all living beings, and he was completely speechless.
Act, had good looks and could be wilful, he really could hold on to beauty and do evil.
No wonder this man put a dandy vase look, but no one believed it.
Across the street, in an alley.
“Master, if only we had come earlier.” Mu Cheng sighed, “Six million was wasted.”
“It’s not a waste.” The old man waved his hand and said calmly, “At least I got to meet such an interesting little girl, she didn’t just pick up this ancient coin to try her luck.”
Mu Cheng hesitated: “Impossible.”
He knew that Mu Heqing had no other hobbies after he retired and only liked to collect antiques and donate them to the National Museum. This was their purpose for coming to the ancient city of Shanghai.
Mu Heqing didn’t say much and coughed a few times: “Let’s go.”
Mu Cheng followed him without asking any more questions.
Mu Heqing’s coughing suddenly worsened.
He covered his heart and couldn’t breathe. His body spasmed, his legs couldn’t support him, and he fell straight down.
Mu Cheng was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward: “Master!”
What’s worse, no one expected that Mu Heqing would fall ill at this time. They didn’t even bring a doctor.
Mu Heqing’s body had always been strong, but before retreating, he was shot near his heart.
Although the person was successfully revived, the root of the disease was left behind and he would fall ill from time to time.
But he just had surgery a while ago, so it shouldn’t happen so quickly.
What to do now?
Miss Meng was far away in the imperial capital and there was no time.
Mu Cheng was so anxious that he was sweating. He went to get the medicine to feed Mu Heqing with trembling hands, but he couldn’t get it in and became even more panicked.
“Don’t hold up his back, it will make it more difficult for him to breathe. Let him lie down flat.”
Someone said calmly behind him.
Mu Cheng raised his head in surprise and met the girl’s calm gaze.
She took a few steps closer and squatted down in front of Mu Heqing. She squeezed his wrist calmly and felt the strength of his pulse.
Mu Cheng finally reacted.
When he saw the girl’s behaviour, he was shocked and angry. He immediately stopped her and reprimanded: “Don’t move! What on earth do you want to do?”
What was Mu Heqing’s identity?
The head of the Mu family, a figure respected by everyone in the imperial capital.
If something happened to him, no one would be able to bear the responsibility.
Ying Zijin was still checking his pulse: “I’m saving him.”
Mu Cheng smiled angrily: “You are just a little girl.”
Medical skills depended on experience. In addition to a few ancient doctors in the ancient medical field in China, who dared to say that they could save Mu Heqing?
