Is this your first time eating skewers?

Lin Feng saw the red chili oil on the skewers,

And Ouyang Moli's face showed a painful expression from the spiciness, looking astonished.

Ouyang Moli said, "I've told you before, I'm not the kind of person you think I am. But... it's really spicy!"

Lin Feng wondered whether small chili peppers could be not spicy.

The host on TV said, if you get small chili on your hand, your hand will hurt.

Lin Feng turned on the car speaker.

The energetic rock music had a strong sense of rhythm.

"Dong chi da chi dong chi da chi..."

January 31st, 9 a. m.

Tang Mi knocked on Ouyang Moli's bedroom door.

"Moli pig, I'm off to work!"

Usually when she shouted like that, Ouyang Moli would at least respond.

But today she went without making a sound.

Tang Mi opened the door and saw Ouyang Moli sleeping soundly.

Just as she was about to leave, she heard Ouyang Moli talking in her sleep: "So spicy... Oh yeah! Sell cakes!"

She actually started speaking English.

Tang Mi shook her head, closed the door, and left with her bag.

Arriving at the underground parking lot, when Tang Mi saw Ouyang Moli's red sports car had changed parking spots, she furrowed her brows.

She remembered that last night, the car was parked in the spot to the right of the pillar opposite.

There was only one explanation: Ouyang Moli had driven out last night.

This was the first time.

Previously, at night, Moli would not go out.

She immediately picked up her phone and called Lin Feng.

Lin Feng had just gotten up and was brushing his teeth.

The voice sounded buzzing, "Mi Mi, what's up?"

Tang Mi asked, "Last night, did Moli look for you?"

"Yeah! She came to talk about work, and I treated her to skewers."

Lin Feng said with a smile.

Tang Mi finally understood why Ouyang Moli was talking in her sleep.

It turned out it was really because of the spiciness.

Americans eating chili, they deserve it!

Tang Mi made two "hmm" sounds, was about to hang up, when Lin Feng said, "Get your people to settle the goods as soon as possible."

"Okay, dear!"

After hanging up, Lin Feng dialed Shu Jingya's phone number.

"Brother, why did you think to call me?"

Shu Jingya's lazy voice came from the phone.

"Are you in class?" Lin Feng asked.

Shu Jingya said, "No class today, I'm resting at home. How about it, did you find the stuff over there?"

Lin Feng had previously promised her that after finding the treasure, she would come over to witness it.

"The treasure over there hasn't been moved, but I found a very precious item, though I don't know if it's genuine, I want you to help check it."

"Then come over quickly, I'll be waiting for you!"

After saying that, she hung up.

Lin Feng took the box containing the 'prepared Chuánguó Yùxǐ' downstairs.

The reason for adding the "prepared" character is because its authenticity is still uncertain.

After more than half an hour, Lin Feng arrived at the door of apartment 803, building 4, Xinshi Xiaoqu.

Shu Jingya was wearing a white sports shirt and yoga pants, doing yoga in the living room.

With the heating on, the room was warm like spring.

Hearing the doorbell, she held her yoga pose without moving and loudly said, "The password hasn't changed."

Lin Feng pressed the six-digit password and opened the door.

When Lin Feng walked into the living room and put the box in his hand on the coffee table, he only saw a redwood box, and Shu Jingya couldn't help but end her exercise.

Looking at the box's shape, she guessed what might be inside.

Lin Feng lifted the lid.

A square seal appeared before Shu Jingya's eyes.

"Chuánguó Yùxǐ!"

Shu Jingya exclaimed in surprise.

Lin Feng shook his head and said, "I don't know if it's genuine, so I brought it over for you to look at."

After saying that, he made an inviting gesture.

Shu Jingya put on gloves, lifted the seal, and held it before her eyes for a full half hour.

"How is it?"

Seeing her finally put it down, Lin Feng asked.

Shu Jingya said solemnly: "According to my judgment, this is more genuine than the so-called Imperial Jade Seal collected in museums, and also more genuine than the so-called Imperial Jade Seal collected over there in Little Japan."

But whether it's really the Imperial Jade Seal still needs to be tested with technological means; we also need to invite an authority to verify it on site.

After saying that, she urgently said: "We shouldn't delay; let's go right away!"

Lin Feng, however, remained unmoved: "If it really is, that would be troublesome!"

Shu Jingya was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted.

Yes!

If it's genuine, this is a national treasure.

For Guo Jia, it holds great significance.

Once the news spreads, it will surely cause a huge sensation.

"Speak up! What are your conditions?"

Shu Jingya understood Lin Feng's thoughts.

Lin Feng gave a hehe smile, took out a piece of paper from his pocket, and handed it to Shu Jingya.

His previous plan was written in full on that paper.

If they agree above, he will take this jade seal for verification.

Otherwise, he would say he found a piece of jade and made a fake.

Seeing the conditions Lin Feng wrote on the paper, Shu Jingya looked astonished: "You're really talented! If it were me, I couldn't think of such a money-making method."

Lin Feng made a gesture of invitation.

Shu Jingya sighed helplessly, picked up her phone, and made a call.

She made a dozen or so calls in a row.

Then she went back inside and changed into a more formal outfit.

A sweater, jeans, and a black windbreaker.

At 11:00 a. m., thirteen elderly men and women arrived with their attendants.

The living room, which originally seemed spacious, became crowded.

Lin Feng held the box close, refusing to part with it unless he got something in return.

No matter how the professors tried to persuade him, he refused to budge.

"You're being ridiculous! Isn't this just a roundabout way of selling off the national treasure?"

"Xiaolin! Forget about other things, but this is a national treasure; for us Guo Jia, it's of great significance!"

"You're not just selling off the national treasure; you're also indirectly selling us out!"

After the elderly men and women finished venting their complaints, Lin Feng calmly said: "How about you give me 100 billion US dollars?"

Of course that's impossible.

Seeing that these academic bigwigs disagreed, Lin Feng laughed and said: "Then that great seal is just a piece of jade I had imitation-made; alright?"

Having said that, he stood up, preparing to leave.

"Wait a moment!"

An old man with white hair raised his hand to stop him.

Lin Feng halted his steps.

Next, the old man took out his phone and dialed a number.

The call went through, and he explained the situation they were currently facing.

After a few grunts, he hung up and told Lin Feng: "We agree to your conditions! Can we now go for the test?"

As soon as his words fell, Lin Feng pulled out an agreement from his pocket, gave a hehe smile, and said: "Please sign and stamp it here."
