Tang Bai's taxi sped along, gradually leaving the city. After driving around in circles, it stopped when it approached a courtyard in the suburbs. The courtyard was surrounded by evergreen pines and cypresses, and several

The security guards, who were big and round, were patrolling around the courtyard.

After settling the toll with the driver, Tang Bai stepped out of the taxi carrying a heavy black backpack. There seemed to be a faint smell of moist seawater in the air.

Tang Bai looked at the security guards outside the door, took out his mobile phone and dialed the number Qi Lianfeng gave him, and the call was quickly connected.

"Mr. Tang?" A slightly hoarse voice reached Tang Bai's ears from the microphone.

"It's me, I'm already here." Tang Bai said softly into the phone.

"Please wait a moment, I will send someone to bring you in right away." The man on the phone was very straightforward and hung up the phone after finishing speaking.

Soon, a middle-aged man walked out of the courtyard, took Tang Bai who had already reached the courtyard door, turned around and entered the courtyard, walked straight ahead, and took Tang Bai to a room similar to a warehouse. The man was leading Tang Bai

After arriving at this room, he immediately left.

Tang Bai had no intention of paying attention to the man's whereabouts. After entering, his eyes rested on the two people in the room.

One is an old man with gray hair. He looks very old. However, his mental outlook is extremely strong and his steps are nimble when walking. He does not give people the feeling of old age at all. A pair of eyes are bright and he is looking at him.

When you look at me, that gaze seems to be able to point directly into people's hearts.

This old man was the old man who received him and Qi Lianfeng last time. Tang Bai still vaguely remembered that Qi Lianfeng called this old man Guan Lao.

There was a woman standing next to Mr. Guan.

The woman is about 24 or 25 years old, and her figure wrapped in a black OL professional dress is not hot, but it can be said to be curvy. Her two long legs are hidden under black stockings and are wearing a pair of black high heels.

. Her mature and gorgeous appearance, coupled with her straightforward temperament, leaves a deep impression on people.

The old man invited Tang Bai to sit down, and the woman beside him naturally poured tea for the two of them.

The teapot is a purple clay teapot, and the Tangbai tea leaves cannot be distinguished from the brewed tea. The woman's movements are skillful and elegant, and there is quite a pleasing tea ceremony charm in it.

"I heard Mr. Qi say that Mr. Tang has brought some things that are difficult to deal with this time. I wonder if you can take them out now for me to take a look at?" Mr. Guan took a sip of tea and looked at Tang Bai sitting opposite.

asked with a smile.

"Of course, but I can't call the old man Mr. Tang." Tang Bai nodded naturally and said calmly. Sitting next to the old man, being stared at by the other man's bright eyes, Tang Bai actually felt a little restless and restrained.

Tang Bai was no stranger to this feeling. When he faced the queen in the palace, the queen had given him such a feeling. Fortunately, Tang Bai could control his emotions very well.

Mr. Guan smiled, somewhat noncommittal, and did not answer the question.

As Tang Bai spoke, he stood up, picked up the heavy black backpack at his feet, and placed it on the large wooden table. The weight of the backpack even made the sturdy-looking wooden table squeak a little.

.

"Oh! It's so heavy! Isn't it all gold?" Guan Lao said in surprise, but his eyes were calm.

"Ginger is still hot when you are old. The old man guessed it right. This backpack is filled with gold." Tang Bai stretched out his thumb towards Mr. Guan and unzipped the backpack in front of him.

"It's really gold." Mr. Guan looked at the gold coins revealed in the backpack, with a flash of regret in his eyes. Apparently, the heavy backpack of gold in front of him not only surprised him, but also made him feel a little disappointed.

"Hey, the style of these gold coins is so strange, I have never seen it before." The woman next to Mr. Guan suddenly let out a sound of surprise, put her white and tender palms into her backpack, took out a few gold coins and looked at them.

Tang Bai suddenly felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart. He seemed to be vaguely aware that when the woman's palm came into contact with the gold coin, her eyes and arms trembled slightly for an instant.

"Indeed, this is the first time I have seen gold coins of this style. They seem to be quite old." The old man also picked up a few gold coins and held them in front of his eyes for a look. Not sure if it was an illusion, Tang Bai observed, Mr. Guan

After getting the gold coins, the regrets and disappointments he showed earlier seemed to disappear, and were replaced by some solemnity and seriousness.

"If possible, could Mr. Tang reveal the origin of these things?" It was still the woman in professional attire who spoke. Tang Bai glanced at Mr. Guan and found that he was not satisfied with the woman's several overstepping comments.

She was very calm, which made Tang Bai couldn't help but speculate a little more about the woman's identity.

It seems that the identity of this woman is not what he initially thought. She is some kind of simple employee?

"Heirloom." Naturally, Tang Bai couldn't reveal too much about the origin of these gold coins. After saying the three words "Taiwan Gold Oil", he either didn't know anything about the next few questions asked by the woman, or just looked blank.

I was at a loss and couldn't help but shirk myself.

Tang Bai had thought of this excuse from the beginning. He knew that with his social experience and knowledge, he would not be able to come up with a perfect excuse. Rather than being exposed mercilessly when the time comes,

and doubt, it is better not to rack your brains to think of a perfect excuse from the beginning.

Sometimes, an excuse full of loopholes can also be regarded as a very good choice.

After hearing Tang Bai's answer, Mr. Guan and the woman obviously understood what Tang Bai meant by evading. They asked a few more questions and found that they couldn't get anything else out of Tang Bai's mouth, so they skipped the question.

"Do you want to sell these gold coins?" The woman threw the gold coins in her hand back into her backpack, took the initiative to take over Mr. Guan's work and talked about business with Tang Bai. Seeing Tang Bai nod, the woman continued to ask: "What do you expect?

What’s the price?”

Tang Bai thought for a while and said frankly: "As long as it is about the same as the current gold price."

"I understand, please wait a moment. I need to weigh the exact weight of these gold coins." The woman said, looking at Tang Bai and nodding. After receiving Tang Bai's permission, she immediately called two people in and put the dishes on the table.

The backpack containing the gold coins was taken out. She chatted with Tang Bai.

When the backpack left his sight, Tang Bai only felt nervous for a moment and then relaxed. When he came to Qi Lianfeng last time, he had vague information about the strength and power of this pawn shop.

Although the quantity of gold in his hand is quite large, I'm afraid it's not a big deal in the eyes of the other party. Besides, when he came here, he had already weighed the weight of these gold coins in advance. As long as what the other party said later was not too different from what he weighed.

There was a big discrepancy, even if it was a little less, Tang Bai decisively pretended not to know and sold it.
