Tomb raiders forbidden area 51 district 0064 Beijing

  I fell to the ground, my eyes wide open, looking around, fortunately that car had braked and slowed down a lot, otherwise I would have been killed.

  I gritted my teeth in pain, thinking I was lucky not to have been killed, but I didn't have the mood from the start. The people behind me were chasing after me relentlessly. Subconsciously, I tightly grasped the gun in my hand, and if they dared to come over, I would shoot without hesitation.

  "What's going on?"

  Bang bang, I had just pulled the trigger when I saw a familiar face, so I immediately stopped.

  They don't know me and I don't know them, but I know who they are, police uncles in uniform.

  Knowing he was safe, he fell headfirst and lost all consciousness.

  As I stood wrapped in plaster in the Zhou family's large courtyard, I had a feeling of rebirth in my heart, and my mind was crystal clear.

  The Zhou family's servants surrounded me one by one, as if I had won the first prize in some competition, and they were excited beyond words.

  If there weren't so many people around, I would definitely shout out loud: I'm done with this.

  Life is fragile.

  Life is short, don't bother with others, just live in the present, let those so-called puzzles become past clouds. If I keep going like this, there's no place for me in this world, not even a beggar can be.

  After going through so many things, I found out that my grandfather was doing it all for me, letting me grow up without worries and striving towards my own dreams. Of course, my dream is simple - money.

  I understand, I'm not the protagonist in a movie, they can kill me as easily as squashing an ant.

  Back at the Zhou family's large courtyard house, I continued to live as usual, quietly, which was also in line with Old Master Zhou's promise to me.

  One day, I realized that I owed the Zhou family too much debt.

  This reminds me of the Jade Pendant of the Double Fish.

  Xiao Shou Hou said that this jade pendant is valuable, so I had the idea of selling it.

  But when it comes to selling night pearls, I couldn't find a way for the time being. Can't just set up a stall on the street and shout, can I?

  So I went online and searched on Baidu for a place to buy that wouldn't cheat me. After searching the web, the first thing that came up was the Beijing Antique Exhibition.

  I thought to myself, going to Beijing isn't a difficult thing, it's just a matter of a few hours, I can try my luck. Nowadays the economy is tight, and I don't have time to think about that much anymore. Although the Zhou family treats me like their own son, even if I were to live here for the rest of my life, it wouldn't be a problem at all.

  But the problem is, if I really did that, then I would be living a life that's too narrow and meaningless.

  I made up my mind and searched again about the market price of jade pendants. The answers on Baidu were very messy, but I patiently looked through them and finally found a relatively professional one. After taking a closer look, I was shocked to the point where every single hair on my head stood up.

  Jade has more than ten grades and two major categories.

  The first type is purely natural jadeite, which can sell for tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.

  The second type is that the intermediary needs to be polished and scattered, and this type of price is relatively low, but it can't be taken down without a few million.

  Moreover, jade is extremely rare, gold has a price, but jade is priceless.

  I'm so shocked that my scalp is about to explode. If it's really like this, then the jade pendant in my hand, even if it's the lowest grade, must be worth at least 78 million?

  This thing, how did he get it?

  Something worth hundreds of thousands, possibly even millions, and he just gave it to me like that?

  I don't know how others would feel if they encountered such a thing, but I just felt a chill all over my body.

  But this jade pendant... its value is too great, so great that it makes a ordinary person like me feel unreal and even intimidated.

  Tens of millions, even hundreds of millions of things, and he just casually gave them to me?

  This is not the key point, the key point is where did this thing and that person come from? And why would they give it to me?

  My heart suddenly became flustered and anxious, now this thing can't be sold anymore.

  I always feel that this jade pendant is a hot potato.

  For the time being, I couldn't make up my mind about this jade pendant. There was no jade pendant for sale. I still had other things on me. I rummaged through my backpack and remembered that when I first entered the Zhou's house, many people gave me gifts, and it seemed like a few of them were very valuable antiques.

  At that time, I didn't care much about it. Now, however, I'm in a tight spot financially. Maybe selling it would be more practical; keeping it doesn't serve any purpose for me anyway.

  By evening, I couldn't hold it in anymore and hastily found Old Man Zhou to tell him about this matter.

  Finally, he didn't say anything either. He should have known from Gao Dali where my jade pendant came from. He didn't ask where the jade pendant came from.

  "If you want to sell now, I can help you contact." Old man Zhou smiled with narrowed eyes.

  As soon as I heard it, I was overjoyed and hastily agreed.

  Then Old Man Zhou said, "This is stolen goods, it's not easy to get into a regular auction house. I'll introduce you to a private auction house with connections, go to Beijing and find Xiao Bei, he'll help you arrange everything." Hearing this, I was surprised and couldn't help but ask, "What does he have to do in Beijing?"

  It's been half a month since I woke up, what is he doing in Beijing alone? Did he get shot last time and hide in Beijing? I think about it, this is not the style of Xiao Shou Huan, when did he ever fear anything.

  But this thing is an antique, shouldn't we go find Hyakushobu? After all, he's a celebrity in this industry. Besides, the treasures he appraises are hard to come by.

  Said, Xiao Shou Hou didn't say I couldn't leave his line of sight? Although I don't need human protection, but when he said that, there was no gunfight. Could it be that this guy forgot after being shot?

  I'm not feeling good about this, he's hiding far away, as if he's suddenly cleared himself of any relationship with me, although we never had a relationship to begin with. On this journey, through life and death, though I don't admit it out loud, in my heart I've considered him a brother.

  Brother? I was stunned for a moment. At that time, Xiao Shou was shot in the main artery. But have you asked if he's okay? He might still be lying in the hospital right now.

  At that time, I made a phone call to Xiao Shou Hou. The other end was also very noisy with many people. Xiao Shou Hou picked up my call and sounded surprised.

  "I thought you'd be hiding for a lifetime?"

  I told him what Old Man Zhou said, and he was somewhat surprised. After understanding, he said, "This matter is a small one, but I have a condition?"

  My god, terms? You're actually negotiating with me?

  But I was curious and asked hastily: "What conditions? Tell me?"

  The thin monkey said slowly: "My family is also a business, businessmen never do unprofitable business. I'll help you get in touch with the entrance, just the entrance fee will cost over 1 million, this money you have to pay yourself, and besides, the proceeds must be divided into 40% for me."

  "Four tenths?" I immediately got angry and said, "You've robbed a bank, you bastard! You contacted the black market for me, and the originally very valuable jade pendant has lost value. You're obviously trying to cheat me."

  The thin monkey sneered and said, "You also know this is the black market, it's a huge risk. If you're not careful and get caught, with the current market value of the Double Fish Jade Pendant, getting sentenced to thirty years would be considered light. With such a big risk, I couldn't possibly do it for free."

  The thin monkey makes sense, this antique business, if caught, at least someone has to take responsibility. I roughly estimated that the double fish jade pendant in my hand is top-notch, it's worth at least tens of millions, and after giving him 40% and deducting the entry fee, I'll still have six or seven million left.

  I've never seen a fortune teller who starts with ten thousand words, and I'm also getting rich.

  I've settled everything with Xiao Shou Hou, he'll come pick me up tomorrow and we'll head to Beijing.

  That day, I booked the train ticket. I had never traveled alone before, and previously I always went to the Yunnan-Guizhou border with a big group. This time, I was by myself, but as clever as I am, I wasn't afraid at all.

  The next morning, I got up and didn't know why the Zhou family had been very quiet for some time. The whole courtyard was almost empty, with no one in sight. Had they gone to work in the fields again?

  When I said goodbye to Old Man Zhou, I mentioned this issue. Old Man Zhou patted his chest and said with certainty, "Nothing of the sort, they've all moved to the city center."

  "What's going on?" I was startled.

  "The auction is starting." Old Master Zhou smiled meaningfully and finally reminded me to be careful.

  I had a bit of breakfast and took the bus to Changsha Railway Station. The journey to Beijing was less than six hours. After getting off the high-speed train, it was already after 2 pm, and the sun was scorching hot. I didn't see Little Skinny Monkey anywhere, and just as I was thinking of calling him to scold him, a BMW pulled up beside me, so I quickly backed away.

  Wow, having a BMW is impressive, but wait till I buy a jade pendant and then I'll get an even better one.

  Just as I was cursing to myself, the car window slowly rolled down and a very familiar face popped out from inside. I was taken aback for a moment, it was Xiao Shou Hou. The aura of his usual slovenly appearance had completely disappeared, he was dressed in a flashy suit, looking like a proper gentleman, if you didn't know him, you'd think he was some big shot CEO.
