Chapter 124 Luo Yuan's Bright Scheme

  For Luo Yuanming, a Jade Guanyin worth around 2 million is nothing. What's most important now is the bottle in Liao Wuyang's hand, which is worth 400-500 million and can bring in a profit of over 200 million after resale. The benefits are absolutely dazzling.

  There is no love or hate without reason in this world. Luo Yuanming opened this teahouse as an underground antique trading venue in Liao Hai City, and it naturally has its own purpose. He hasn't done few of such underhanded things.

  The only thing is that Luo Yuanming didn't want to ruin his own reputation, so many things were done very secretly. The most commonly used method was to use fake as real. At the time, even if someone discovered the clues, there was no evidence, and they could only admit defeat. Those who dared to shout randomly were all cleaned up by Luo Yuanming. The two words "Luo Ye" were not obtained for nothing, and not everyone in Liaohe City had the qualifications to be called "Ye".

  This time, the only one that made Luo Yuanming unsure was Ning Yuan. He was over 20 years old, yet his experience and knowledge were extraordinary, and he should be worth a lot of money. How could someone like him not have any backing?

  It's precisely because of this that Luo Yuanming didn't want to offend Ning Yuan rashly, so he made friends with him first and got the matter done. After the matter was settled, if Ning Yuan really had connections, he would have gotten his benefits and wouldn't dare make things difficult for him. He would give him a little more benefit, and that would be the end of it. If Ning Yuan didn't have any connections, how could he get his things back? Naturally, he would still want to get them out, but Luo's things and benefits weren't so easily obtained.

  Luoyan's thoughts were clear, and Ningyuan guessed about 80-90% of them. He wouldn't take advantage of him, so he smiled and said: "Lord Luo is being polite, I don't dare accept such a valuable gift without doing anything to deserve it. If you're willing to part with it, name a price; if not, then I won't have it."

  "Looks like you're out, brother." Luo Yuanming burst into laughter and pushed the Jade Guanyin in front of Ning Yuan, saying: "Since you said so, I'll give it to your little brother at the original price, 1.5 million. If it's more, I absolutely won't take it."

  "Alright, thank you then, Lord Luo." Ning Yuan nodded and put away the Jade Guanyin, asking: "I don't know if Lord Luo wants to make a transfer or have a check?"

  "Either is fine. You brothers come however you like." Luo Yuanming said.

  Since Luo Yuanming didn't care, Ning Yuan took the account from Luo Yuanming and transferred it on the spot. The transaction was clean and fair, although Ning Yuan had gained a small advantage, but it wasn't like he had taken advantage of Luo Yuanming either.

  A few people were delayed like this. Chatting and laughing, the time had already passed three o'clock in the afternoon, and it was almost four o'clock. Several people had drunk a lot of tea, Wang Xinhui had gone to the toilet twice, Liao Wuyang's face was red with holding back, his body was uncomfortable and twisted. But he didn't dare to get up rashly.

  He should have gone to the toilet with the bottle, but doing so in front of several people would be embarrassing, so he endured it.

  This time, Liao Wuyang came unexpectedly to find that Luo Yuanming would keep him for dinner, so he didn't bring anyone trustworthy with him, even Ningyuan was someone he met yesterday. Such a valuable item is placed here, he can't possibly feel at ease, unless he could hand the bottle over to Ningyuan to take away first.

  Luoyuan Ming also saw Liao Wuyang's discomfort, but he didn't make a sound, pretending not to have seen it. Wang Xinhui also sensed that something was off, but he didn't want to offend Luoyuan Ming either. Anyway, the vase had already been sold and the money had been transferred into his account, so he felt carefree.

  Ning Yuan glanced at Liao Wuyang sitting on the side, stretched out his hand and patted Liao Wuyang's shoulder twice. At the same time, he slowly moved from Liao Wuyang's shoulder to his back, smiling and saying: "Is Boss Liao very hot?"

  It wasn't very hot, but for some reason, Liao Wuyang's forehead was covered in dense sweat, and his entire face had a slightly flushed complexion.

  "Ah, it's a bit hot." Liao Wuyang dryly chuckled twice, nodded, and was also somewhat perplexed. How did he suddenly break out in a sweat? Moreover, this sweat seemed unstoppable. He hastily picked up a paper towel to wipe himself down twice.

  "Haha, it seems that Liao boss has made a fortune and is feeling generous. In that case, let's change the venue and go to the pavilion at the back, and play a few rounds of Go." Luo Yuanming suggested.

  Luo Yuanming spoke up, Wang Xinhuai naturally had no opinion, and Liao Wuyang could only nod in agreement. They opened a bottle and the few of them left the private room together.

  Behind this teahouse is a small courtyard, where many flowers and grasses are planted. In the middle of the courtyard there is a pavilion, with stone benches and tables inside.

  A few people came to the pavilion, and after sitting down, a waiter brought over tea and Go pieces. Luo Yuanming smiled and asked Ning Yuan, "Brother Ning, do you know how to play Go?"

  "No way, I'd be laughed at by Old Luo." Ning Yuan shook his head. He was naturally skilled at Go, but this afternoon he just wasn't in the mood.

  "Since Brother Ning won't, Boss Liao come and exchange a few moves with us two. Wang's chess skills are too bad." Luo Yuanming said to Liao Wuyang after seeing that Ning was not going to play.

  All the way, Liao Wuyang only felt that he had sweated a lot, his clothes were sticking to his body, and it was very uncomfortable. However, strangely enough, after sweating so much, he didn't feel like urinating anymore. Just as he was wondering about this, he heard Luo Yuanming calling out to him.

  Liao Wuyang didn't really feel like playing chess with Luo Yuanming, but he couldn't refuse either. He reluctantly sat down across from Luo Yuanming, put the bottle under his feet, and started a game of chess with him.

  Luo Yuanming wasn't really interested in playing chess either, he was just stalling for time. The two of them, one distracted and the other unenthusiastic, somehow managed to drag out a single game for an entire hour.

  Ning Yuan was chatting with Wang Xinhuai at the side while also being in charge of refilling sweet tea for Luo Yuanming and the others.

  An hour later, the game ended, and Luo Yuanming was also puzzled in his heart. Earlier in the private room, he saw that Liao Wuyang had some urgent urination and almost couldn't hold it in, but after this hour passed, not only did Liao Wuyang not look uncomfortable, but he seemed to have recovered as usual, which really made him wonder.

  Originally, this delay was also a strategy of Luo Yuanming. He really didn't mind Liao Wuyang taking the bottle to the toilet. When it's time to go to the toilet, Liao Wuyang is alone and can't hold the bottle while unzipping his pants. As long as he lets go of the bottle, the people arranged by Luo Yuanming have a great chance of switching the bottle.

  But for several hours now, Liao Wuyang has shown no intention of going to the toilet, nor has Ning Yuan, it's really strange.

  Since there's no chance now, let's just wait until later at the dinner table. Looking at the time, it was already approaching 5 pm. Luo Yuanming enthusiastically said to Liao Wuyang: "Boss Liao, how about another round?"

  Liao Wuyang had no choice but to accompany him, and at this moment he also saw that Luo Yuanming must have some ulterior motive. However, it was not good to be too obvious, so he could only be extremely cautious, not giving Luo Yuanming an opportunity. It seemed that Luo Yuanming still didn't have the guts to make a move openly, if he did, this place would thoroughly stink to high heaven.

  At this time, Liao Wuyang even regretted making this deal. He never thought that Luo Yuanming would be so unscrupulous. Now he didn't have the guts to confront Luo Yuanming and couldn't bear to give up this treasure, it was really a case of "riding a tiger and finding it hard to get off".

  For a while, Liao Wuyang had the idea of leaving directly many times, ignoring Luo Yuanming's attitude. Alas, he was no longer young and his sharp spirit was gone, so the idea was eventually dispelled.

  The second game between the two of them had been going on for more than half an hour, and it was already 5:30 in the afternoon. Luo Yuanming looked at his watch and called out, "It's getting late, I've already ordered food to be prepared, let's go to the private room, eat and chat while we're at it. We can also have a few drinks."

  As he spoke, Luo Yuanming walked over and patted Ning Yuan's shoulder warmly, saying: "It's true that when you meet a kindred spirit, a thousand cups are not enough. Today, no matter how I look at it, I feel like Ning brother is a great match for me. Tonight, we won't leave until we're drunk."

  "'Til drunk, no return?" Hearing Luo Yuanming's words, Liao Wuyang by his side could only reveal a wry smile. If he really didn't return until he was drunk, by the time he sobered up, this bottle would probably have become a fake product.

  To put it bluntly, Luo Yuanming's move was actually a clever ploy. Liao Wuyang clearly knew what Luo Yuanming was getting at, but his heart wavered with indecision. He looked back and forth, thinking too much.

  While thinking, Liao Wuyang subconsciously glanced at Ning Yuan, he really didn't want to eat this meal anymore, but had no courage to turn against Luo Yuanming, and subconsciously sought Ning Yuan's opinion.

  Ning Yuanyuan gave Liao Wuyang a faint smile and a reassuring expression, which made him feel slightly more at ease. Although he hadn't known Ning Yuanyuan for long, he could tell that Ning was a decent person. Most importantly, he was certain that Ning Yuanyuan and Luo Yueming had never met before, so there was no possibility of them colluding to deceive him.

  The dining place is on the third floor of the tea house, Luo Yuanming arranged a elegant and quiet private room. The environment in the private room was very good, when several people entered, there were already several dishes of cold dishes and several bottles of good Maotai on the table.

  As they entered the private room, Luo Yuanming smiled and said: "It's just the four of us, so sit wherever you like, no need to be formal. Ning brothers will sit with me, we must have a good drink."

  As they spoke, the four people sat down casually. To Ning Yuan's left was Liao Wuyang, to his right was Luo Yuanming, and Wang Xinhuai sat opposite Ning Yuan.

  Several people sat down, and the waiter filled up several wine glasses. Luo Yuanming was the first to pick up his glass and said: "Today's dinner is first of all to congratulate Mr. Wang and Liao Boss on their pleasant cooperation, let's have a drink." As he spoke, the four people picked up their glasses and drank them in one gulp.

  After finishing the first cup, Luo Yuanming picked up the second cup and said: "This cup is to toast Mr. Liao, Mr. Liao has made a lot of profit this time, he must drink it."

  What Luo Yuanming said sounded pleasant, but Liao Wuyang had a clear idea in his mind. He gritted his teeth and drank another cup. This cup was not one of those small cups, it was a relatively large wine cup. One cup was equivalent to two liangs (a unit of measurement), and as soon as the wine was served, Liao Wuyang had already been forced to drink two liangs of white wine by Luo Yuanming.

  He had a drink with Liao Wuyang, and then Luo Yuanming had another cup with Ning Yuan. Only then did they slow down the pace, eating and chatting while they ate. During dinner, Luo Yuanming always managed to find an excuse to toast Ning Yuan and Liao Wuyang again, and occasionally Wang Xinhui would join in as well. Before long, Liao Wuyang had reached his limit and was dead set against drinking any more.

  Seeing Luo Yuan's obvious change in expression, Ning Yuan hastily intervened, saying: "Let Liao boss calm down for a moment, I'll accompany Lord Luo to drink, and I'll definitely make sure Lord Luo has a good time."

  Ning Yuan intervened and Luo Yuanming didn't dare say anything more. His drinking capacity was not bad, and he didn't believe that Ning Yuan and Liao Wuyang couldn't be drunk.
