Chapter 67: Tighten Up and Retreat
"Big Bro, could those guys be selling stolen goods?" Lin Li asked, following behind Huang Ji.
Huang Ji replied, "Freshly unearthed."
"Should we still buy it then?" Lin Li asked.
"Of course," Huang Ji instructed. "In a bit, take ten gold bars to complete the transaction with them. After it's done, you don't need to bring anything except that bronze mirror."
"Are all the others fakes?" Lin Li asked.
Huang Ji explained, "They're only interested in selling that mirror. The issue is, it's contraband, so they’ve mixed it in with dozens of modern reproductions and pretend not to know the value of the mirror. They tie it to the fakes, waiting for someone knowledgeable to recognize it."
"Anyone who knows their stuff would realize that mirror is from the Tang Dynasty, perfectly preserved and exquisitely crafted. If auctioned overseas, it could fetch seven or eight million. Buying it for four million is an absolute steal."
Lin Li laughed. "So how are we getting the gold bars back?"
