Chapter 58 : Ivory Skanda Statue
Old Xue took out his phone and called his eldest son, telling him what had happened. Xue Guoqiang, who was on the other end of the phone, didn't say anything. After listening quietly, he said faintly,"
"Dad, just wait here. I'll get someone to deal with it immediately and send you back."
Five minutes later, three police cars sped over. More than a dozen armed police officers guarded the entrance of the small hotel. A middle-aged man in police uniform got out of a white Santana behind him and hurriedly walked through the door.
The middle-aged police officer glanced at the five guys who were handcuffed on the ground. He frowned slightly and walked quickly to Old Xue. He said respectfully," Old Xue, I'm sorry to have shocked you. I'm the county public security bureau chief, Lu Guangliang. Don't worry, this matter will be thoroughly investigated. Those responsible will be severely punished."
Old Xue waved his hand and said impatiently," It's a guy called Bai Shengjun who's behind this. He's impersonating the public security, kidnapping and extorting people. I really don't understand how this kind of evil force can run amok in Tengchong?" If it weren't for this old man's good luck, I would have died here today!"
A layer of sweat appeared on Lu Guangliang's forehead. This Old Xue was obviously saying that he had neglected his duty! If he couldn't let this old man vent his anger, the higher-ups would pursue this matter...The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He turned around and glared at the five fellows on the ground. He thought to himself, These bunch of blind things, you've hit the muzzle of a gun today. No matter who's supporting you from behind, I'll definitely wipe you out this time!
"Old Xue, who is the Bai Shengjun you mentioned just now?" Lu Guangliang put on an appearance of humbly asking for advice. Meng Shicheng, who was at the side, answered first." He's the boss of Stall 18 at the stone gambling fair." f(r)eenovelkiss.com
"Men." Lu Guangliang shouted at the door with a serious expression. A group of police officers immediately rushed in.
Lu Guangliang pointed at the five men who were cuffed." Bring these guys who are pretending to be police officers back for interrogation. Arrest Bai Shengjun, the 18th stall owner of the stone gambling fair, immediately."
The police officers escorted the five pitiful fake police officers out of the shop. Bai Sheng Jun was in complete tragedy this time because money could not be used as a tool above the law. Since he had done it, he had to bear the consequences. 𝒻𝓇𝘦𝘦𝘸𝘦𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝑚
After Lu Guangliang finished all this, he took the initiative to send Old Xue home personally. Before leaving, the old man specially instructed Xu Qing to think about the consequences of everything and not be impulsive. It seemed that the ruthlessness of this kid during the fight just now still made the old man uneasy.
A martial arts show was staged in the small hotel, and everyone was no longer in the mood to eat. Jiang Nan Nan paid an additional 200 yuan for the chair in addition to paying the bill. As usual, the shop owner gave everyone a can of self-brewed rice wine.
When he returned to the trading venue, Meng Shicheng received a text message from his ex-wife confirming that Bai Shengjun had been taken away by the police. Finally, he was relieved.
Meng Shicheng had the raw materials that Xu Qing had chosen sent to him for shipping. He would receive them in five days at the latest. Meng Shicheng paid for all the expenses first, and he also gave him two stone cutting machines.
After doing all this, the two of them went to the bank again and deposited the 55 million yuan they had earned from selling the jade. Meng Shicheng asked someone he knew to buy three tickets for a direct flight from Tengchong to Jiangcheng. Then, he took Xu Qing to an antique teahouse.
The teahouse was located next to the Tengchong Antique Market and had become an important place for Tibetan friends to communicate. It was the most suitable place to drink tea and talk about ancient times.
Meng Shicheng liked to drink tea, but Xu Qing couldn't taste it. He simply went downstairs to the antique market alone. Tengchong Antique Market was much larger than Jiang City. Because of its special geographical location and minority culture, there was a rich variety of objects here, focusing on the characteristics of China and Myanmar.
Xu Qing strolled around the market leisurely, followed by two security guards from the Golden Shield Company. If he had some understanding of jade gambling, then he knew nothing about antiques. What he was really interested in was the colored gas attached to antiques. He still missed the cool feeling when his eyes absorbed the gas last time!
There were many shops in the Antique Market, and many stalls were taking advantage of the opportunity. It was almost impossible to find an empty space on both sides of the road. The stall owners were all smiling and attracting passersby. As long as someone stopped, they would praise them. Even people who knew nothing about antiques would be called experts by them. Their purpose was to coax you into buying two objects obediently.
A stall like this could sustain itself for a few days as long as it could sell one or two items a day. Xu Qing walked along the way, his eyes inadvertently glancing at the items on the stall. After walking through half of the market, he did not find an item with colored gas attached to it. He could not help but feel a little disappointed.
After walking for a while, he still didn't find anything. The scorching sun in the sky made his scalp burn. Xu Qing couldn't stand the heat anymore. He found an antique shop with air conditioning and walked in.
Two female shop assistants were sitting lazily behind the counter. When they saw a young man enter, they did not show too much enthusiasm. Anyway, the items on the shelves were clearly priced. If they took a fancy to it, they could just pay and take it.
Xu Qing didn't intend to enjoy the air-conditioning for nothing. He made up his mind to buy one if he saw anything interesting in this shop. It would be good as a souvenir.
This shop mainly sold miscellaneous items and porcelain. Of course, there were also jade carvings. Almost all the shops in Tengchong Antique Market would display a few jade carvings, forming a regional characteristic.
Xu Qing walked to the counter and looked at the items on the wooden shelves from top to bottom. Suddenly, an item at the bottom of the shelf attracted his attention.
It was a wax-yellow statue of a tattered Skanda carrying a pestle. It was about 20 centimeters tall and was about the thickness of an adult's arm. A large part of the nose of the Buddha statue had collapsed, and one of its legs was broken. Even the vajra pestle on its shoulder was only left with half of it. It was a typical defective product.
What attracted Xu Qing was not the statue itself, but the faint golden gas surrounding the statue, which was more than a hundred times denser than the bronze jue he had seen in the Heavenly Earth. At first glance, the entire statue was wrapped in a layer of dense golden gas, which made people have the urge to kneel and worship it.
There was a small card below the statue. On it was written, Burmese Ivory Carving, priced at 5,800.
Xu Qing suppressed the joy in his heart and pointed at the ivory statue." Please help me take a look at this thing!"
A young female shop assistant quickly brought the Wei Tuo statue to the counter. Xu Qing wanted to get closer to take a closer look, but he didn't expect the golden gas attached to the statue to split into two and quickly float towards his eyes.
The moment the golden Qi entered his eyes, Xu Qing felt as if he was in a temple. The sound of Sanskrit lingered in his mind, making his mind unusually calm and peaceful. The heat in his heart immediately disappeared without a trace, and a smile involuntarily floated on the corner of his mouth.
The female shop assistant opposite him was a little dazed by his smile. She thought to herself, Why is this kid smiling at me for no reason? Are you interested in me? It seemed that he was not buying things, but he was really picking up girls. However, he looked quite handsome. If he was not a saint, she would not mind dating him...
