Chapter 3083

~12 min read 2,343 words

Actually, Xiao Changkun is not so bold usually.

Daring to bare his teeth at the security officer on the plane today is entirely because the amount of 20 million is too large.

Alcohol can strengthen a coward's courage, and money is the same.

He wouldn't dare to bare his teeth for 30,000 or 50,000, but he would dare to kill for 3 million or 5 million.

Not to mention this is a full 20 million!

Moreover, it is equivalent to 20 million that Xiao Changkun threw out himself, and he threw it into the enemy's pocket.

This made him even more evil.

However, Ma Lan's words made him calm down instantly.

Entering the detention center, what good end can there be?

Ma Lan had to break a leg after staying inside for two or three days. If he was really detained for fifteen days, he didn't know how much suffering he would have to endure.

Thinking of this, he didn't dare to continue to argue with the security officer, and could only sit back in his seat in extreme decadence, tears of grievance flowing down, holding Ma Lan's hand tightly, asking helplessly: "Wife, what should I do now... I thought that thing was worthless, so I sold it for 300,000, but I didn't expect it to be worth 20 million. Isn't this a loss to the grandmother's house... I feel so uncomfortable!"

Ma Lan quickly comforted him while stroking the back of his hand, and asked: "Husband, tell me properly what is going on?"

Xiao Changkun was also afraid of losing face, so he leaned into Ma Lan's ear and said: "Before, Zhou Liangyun, the manager of Jiqingtang, came back. That grandson beat me before, and I felt a bit uncomfortable. It happened that Zhang Ermao told me this news and was willing to help me fix him. We thought about finding a fake thing to sell to him, let him open his eyes, and also lose some money. Zhang Ermao helped to bridge the gap and found me an old bronze Buddha. I bought it for 98,000, and sold it to Zhou Liangyun for 300,000 last night. How could I have thought that thing was worth 20 million..."

After listening, Ma Lan shook her head and couldn't help complaining: "Husband, it is said that we have reconciled, I shouldn't scold you, but you did this thing too stupidly, and people will laugh their teeth off if it spreads out."

Xiao Changkun sighed: "Hey! It's useless to say this now. The most important thing now is how to get the money back. You can't let that guy Zhou easily put all 20 million into his pocket, right?"

Ma Lan thought for a while and said: "Tell me the specific details, how did you cheat him, what story did you use to cheat him?"

Xiao Changkun told Ma Lan the story Zhang Ermao made up.

After listening, Ma Lan's eyes turned, and she immediately said: "Got it, didn't Zhang Ermao let his little brother pretend to be something stolen from home? Then find someone else to pretend to be the little brother's brother, go directly to Zhou Liangyun, and say that thing was passed down to him by his father, but it was stolen and sold by his brother. Now ask him to return it, return the 300,000 to him. If he doesn't return the thing, just call the police directly. It is said that this thing belongs to stolen goods, and the police should help to recover it."

As she spoke, Ma Lan said again: "Didn't you see what was said on the Internet? Minors use their parents' mobile phones to buy things, recharge games, as long as parents complain, they must be returned. Although Zhang Ermao's little brother is an adult, he can't steal his father's things and sell them!"

After hearing this, Xiao Changkun's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Oh wife, it has to be you! This method must work! I'll call Zhang Ermao now!"

Seeing that the plane had been slowly pushed back, Ma Lan urged: "If you want to call, call quickly. The plane has already moved. Once it is in the sky, you can't make calls!"

"Okay!" Xiao Changkun said excitedly: "I'll call him now. If he doesn't solve this for me, I'll let my good son-in-law fix him! He is Master Hong Wu's little brother, and Master Hong Wu is respectful to our son-in-law. As long as I move my good son-in-law out, the pressure on Zhang Ermao will definitely be enough!"

"Okay, okay, okay!" Ma Lan nodded and urged excitedly: "Then hurry up and call, don't let the person who bought the thing leave and can't be found!"

"Okay!"

Xiao Changkun picked up his mobile phone and called Zhang Ermao immediately.

At this time, Zhang Ermao thought that Xiao Changkun would definitely not know about this before takeoff, but he didn't expect Xiao Changkun to call him again at this moment, and he was a little nervous.

However, nervousness is nervousness, he didn't dare not answer Xiao Changkun's call, and he also really wanted to know why Xiao Changkun called him, whether it was a false alarm.

Therefore, he pressed the answer button and asked pretending to be relaxed: "Oh, President Xiao, shouldn't you be taking off soon? Why are you calling me?"

Xiao Changkun blurted out: "Zhang Ermao! Have you heard? The bronze Buddha we sold to Zhou Liangyun yesterday is Northern Song Dynasty! Zhou Liangyun has already sold it for 20 million this morning!"

When Zhang Ermao heard this, his head exploded and cold sweat flowed down.

He swallowed his saliva and asked pretending to be curious: "Is that so? Is there such a thing? Haven't heard of it! That thing is Northern Song Dynasty? Not very likely."

Xiao Changkun scolded: "You used to claim to be a know-it-all on the antique street, why is your news not as sensitive as mine! You hurry up and contact your little brother, find someone else to pretend to be his brother to find a witness, get the thing back! Say that thing was stolen by your little brother, it belongs to stolen goods and must be returned!"

Zhang Ermao's forehead was already soaked with cold sweat, and he cursed in despair in his heart: "Damn, it's really what I'm afraid of..."

Nervous, he quickly said: "President Xiao, this matter is not as easy to operate as you think. If we really want to get the thing back through legal means, we must first prove that we are not lying. You Zhou Liangyun reported to the police and involved the police. When the investigation finds out the specific situation, won't we be embarrassed?"

As he spoke, he quickly reminded: "President Xiao, you are now the executive vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, and a popular candidate for the next president. If it is exposed that you participated in this kind of thing, you will not be able to hang on your face, and it will definitely affect your reputation."

Xiao Changkun said without thinking: "You just go and handle this matter, just don't involve me, right? The thing was sold by your little brother. You and your little brother just settle this matter. I will give you one million after it is done!"

Zhang Ermao wiped his sweat: "President Xiao, I am not easy to come forward for this kind of thing... If Master Wu knows, maybe he will blame me..."

Xiao Changkun said angrily: "What's wrong with Master Wu? Even if I see my son-in-law, he is respectful to me. Anyway, I don't care about this. If you don't help me get the bronze Buddha back, I will go to my good son-in-law. Let him go to Master Wu to ask for an explanation!"

Zhang Ermao was stunned and quickly said: "Oh, President Xiao, it is not necessary to involve Master Ye in this kind of thing... Master Ye is upright and honest. If he knows that we made a set to sell fake goods to cheat people, maybe he will have opinions on both of us..."

Xiao Changkun asked him back: "Who sold fake goods? I ask you who sold fake goods? That thing worth 20 million was sold for 300,000. Is that selling fake goods?"

Zhang Ermao said with a crying voice: "President Xiao, regardless of how much that thing is worth, the nature is this nature... It can only be said that both of us are not skilled enough, and we slapped our faces and sold good things as fakes, but it cannot change the fact that we wanted to use fake goods to cheat people..."

Xiao Changkun said shamelessly: "You don't tell me these things, I won't argue with you about this, I have only one demand, you go and get that thing back for me, I will transfer 300,000 to your card in a while, I don't care about anything else. If you don't solve it for me, I will go to my son-in-law. Even if I admit that I have bad intentions in front of my son-in-law, I will get this thing back! Besides, even if my son-in-law knows, he can't do anything to me!"

Zhang Ermao really cried, sobbing and saying: "President Xiao, Master Ye won't do anything to you, but it's hard to say for me! I, Zhang Ermao, have everything I have today because Master Ye spoke for me in front of Master Wu. If Master Ye knows that I am doing these shameless things with you, and he is unhappy, I will be finished!"

Xiao Changkun asked angrily: "Who are you saying is shameless? Why is it shameless? Isn't this idea all yours? If you hadn't run to me and forced me, how would I know Zhou Liangyun is back? If you hadn't given me this bad idea, how would I have lost 20 million?"

Zhang Ermao said aggrievedly: "It is true that the bad idea was mine, but you didn't lose anything. You spent 98,000 in cost and earned 300,000 back. Your net profit is 202,000. How can you say you lost 20 million? And you said you sold the thing at a loss, but if I hadn't given this bad idea, you wouldn't have gotten this thing at all. How could you say you lost 20 million?"

Xiao Changkun knew he was unreasonable, but he couldn't care about it at this time. He didn't want his face anymore and said directly: "Zhang Ermao, I won't talk nonsense with you. Whether you say I am reasonable or unreasonable, I don't care. What I care about is that you must get that thing back for me. I don't care what method you use, anyway, I will find you for the thing! If you can't get it back, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people!"

At this time, the flight attendant walked up to Xiao Changkun and said: "Sir, we are going to carry out cabin safety inspection now. Please don't make any more calls, turn off your mobile phone, or adjust it to flight state."

Xiao Changkun said impatiently: "Okay, okay, I know, it will be over soon."

After speaking, he quickly said to Zhang Ermao: "Zhang Ermao, I will land in Dubai in about 9 hours. You'd better get the thing back for me within 9 hours, otherwise don't blame me for not talking about feelings!"

Zhang Ermao was in despair. He was absolutely afraid to go to Zhou Liangyun to make trouble.

It's not that he was afraid of Zhou Liangyun, but that the influence of this matter was already very large. Once he really came forward, he would really be notorious.

So his biggest wish now was that Xiao Changkun would accept all this calmly and not try to get the thing back from Zhou Liangyun's hands again.

However, seeing that Xiao Changkun would not let him go at all, he could only beg with a choked voice: "President Xiao, you can't do this! Even if you don't look at the fact that I took the initiative to help you make money this time, even if you look at the fact that I paid for the fake goods you bought for 500,000 out of my own pocket before, you can't force me like this..."

Xiao Changkun raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean? Didn't you say before that I picked up a big leak?"

Zhang Ermao cried and said: "What leak, President Xiao, I, Zhang Ermao, say a word from the bottom of my heart, you are not the material for playing antiques at all. Every single thing you bought before is fake garbage. I looked at Master Ye's face and wanted to return the favor, so I spent 500,000 to collect a fake from you. That thing is still displayed in my house! If you don't believe it, I will show it to you when you come back. You see if it is the one you sold me."

Xiao Changkun's face was red and white, and he said shamefully and angrily: "This is also what you said, and it is also what you said. How do I know which sentence is true? And don't change the subject for me. I still say that, you must get the thing back for me before I land! Otherwise I will fight with you!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone directly, and then angrily turned his mobile phone into flight mode.

Ma Lan on the side asked curiously: "What did that Zhang Ermao say?"

Xiao Changkun said angrily: "He is hesitant and not very willing to do it. I don't care about those. Anyway, I have said everything I should say to him. After we land in Dubai, if he still hasn't gotten the thing back, I will call my good son-in-law directly and let my good son-in-law help!"

Ma Lan nodded heavily: "No matter what, we must get that thing back. This is 20 million!"
