Late, ten o'clock.
Inside the manager's office.
Seeing that Dong Xuebin clearly explained the ins and outs of the three antiques without even stumbling, and the results were exactly the same as the results of the antique expert appraisal, Ma Wentao gradually became appreciative when looking at him. You know, the expert inspection is assisted by instruments, and at least there are The two experts jointly deduced, but Dong Xuebin was the only one who could judge the authenticity without even using a magnifying glass. This skill can definitely not be developed in a day or two. Yes, yes, Ma Wentao is very suitable. What he needs now is this kind of person who understands antiques.
But the doubts are also great, "How many years have you been doing this?"
Dong Xuebin smiled and said, "I have been exposed to this kind of fraud since I was a kid." The Power of Time and Wealth 267
"If your level is so high..." Ma Wentao frowned again and said suspiciously, "Why don't you go to an antique shop or an appraisal institute to find a job?"
Dong Xuebin felt alarmed. Knowing that the other party was suspicious, he quickly smiled bitterly and said, "To tell you the truth, I am not 100% sure about those three things just now. All I learned from my relatives was how to make forgeries. I can probably tell whether something is fake and whether there are traces of forgery, and then I can work backwards from this. But if you If you give me an ordinary fake Yuan Blue and White Porcelain that has not been worn, I probably won't be able to spot it, so my knowledge is too limited, and most antique shops don't want me. Moreover, the police later raided our counterfeiting den, and several of my relatives were arrested. I don't know if I'm wanted, and I don't dare to go to the regular trade."
This explanation makes sense.
Ma Wentao nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Okay, from today on, you will follow me."
Dong Xuebin looked delighted, "Thank you Manager Ma for cultivating me."
"Haha, let's call him Brother Ma from now on." Ma Wentao was very kind to him, "Don't tell others about the antiques you saw today. I will take you to see a few things in a few days. Then you can evaluate them and see if they are done. Old traces, well, you don't have to do any chores for the past two days. I'll ask someone to bring your luggage up later. You can live on the top floor and have a single room by yourself." The top floor is also the third floor. The manager's office and many of the center's top managers live here. It is a core area where idlers are not allowed to enter.
Dong Xuebin was flattered, "Thank you Brother Ma."
Ma Wentao said with a smile, "If you need anything, just tell me. Those young ladies who can perform well can be brought back to the room at night. I will say hello to Xiao Liu then."
Dong Xuebin thanked her repeatedly and looked very excited.
After a while, Ma Wentao let Dong Xuebin go.
As soon as he went out, Ma Wentao smiled and said seriously to the suit Big Man next to him, "Go to the dormitory below and check this Xie Hao's luggage. Control his mobile phone, computer and other communication tools. Then keep an eye on this person for the past two days. Don't let him make phone calls, let alone let him leave the center. Other than that, all other requirements can be met. This person will be of great use to the boss in a few days."
"Yes!" Big Man responded and quickly walked out of the house.
On the other side, Dong Xuebin has been taken to a single room at the end of the corridor.
Although it is a one-bedroom apartment, the interior decoration is very high-end, with wooden floors, crystal chandeliers, and European-style furniture, which is extremely luxurious. Dong Xuebin pretended to be like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden, curiously looking at this, "touching" and "touching" that excitedly, and finally went into the bedroom and lay down on the bed, with her feet in the air comfortably. The Big Man who brought Dong Xuebin looked at him, said nothing, stayed for a while, then turned around and left.
Touch, the door closes.
Dong Xuebin felt a little cold in his heart.
If it had been anyone else, Manager Ma would have been so enthusiastic about it, and he would probably have been so happy that he couldn't find the southeast, northwest, or northwest. But Dong Xuebin obviously didn't have this idea. He asked people to bring him bags, and then gave them to him. Living in a single room and being arranged on the top floor was like trapping him in disguise. He knew without even trying that the phone on the bedside could only make internal calls but could not communicate with the outside. There might also be cameras or other monitors in this room. Thinking of this, Dong Xuebin didn't dare to show any unnecessary expressions on his face, and immediately went to the bathroom to take a shower.
This guy named Ma is really cautious. The Power of Time and Wealth 267
It's no wonder that Dong Xuebin appeared by chance. Just a few days after joining the center, he happened to master the identification technology that Ma Wentao needed. Anyone else would have to murmur, but Dong Xuebin was not in a hurry. Before he came into contact with that batch of cultural relics, he had no intention of contacting the outside police. What Dong Xuebin has to do now is to try to gain the trust of Ma Wentao and wait for an opportunity.
After drying himself and leaving the bathroom, Dong Xuebin wrapped the bath towel around his body. With a glance from the corner of his eye, he squinted his eyes imperceptibly. Although the top and pants he had just thrown on the sofa were still arranged in the same way, they were still in the same place. There was a slight change in the cuff of the trousers, which was different from the picture he had consciously recorded just now. It had obviously been turned over by someone. As Dong Xuebin thought, Manager Ma did not completely trust himself.
Dong Dong Dong, someone knocked on the door.
Dong Xuebin said carelessly, "Please come in."
A pretty good-looking girl came in and said, "Your bag." She put Dong Xuebin's luggage beside her.
Dong Xuebin nodded, opened the bag and took out a pack of white Hong Mei worth three or four yuan. He popped one out and held it in his mouth. The girl picked up the lighter on Coffee Table and lit it for him. The girl was dressed more revealingly, with a short skirt, black stockings, and boots, giving her a coquettish look. After putting down the lighter, the girl sat on the sofa, next to Dong Xuebin, and leaned slightly towards him.
Dong Xuebin glanced at her, "What are you doing?"
The girl smiled charmingly and said, "The manager asked me to accompany you in the evening."
How could Dong Xuebin have such thoughts, not to mention that the other party was called by Manager Ma. He must have bad intentions. If he talks in his sleep while sleeping, it would not be completely exposed, but Dong Xuebin is now a young man working for others. Logically speaking, he shouldn't refuse a beauty when he comes to her door. Otherwise, it will make Ma Wentao suspicious. After thinking about it, he curled his lips and said, "Come on, I don't like your type. Let's find someone else."
The girl's eyes were filled with anger, she waved her hand and left.
A few minutes later, three more girls came, all ten years old, and stood around for Dong Xuebin to choose.
Dong Xuebin looked at this, looked at that, and finally said that he didn't like it. After a few people left, Dong Xuebin pretended to be very anxious and went out to go downstairs to choose a girl who met his eyes. Unexpectedly, before he got down to the third floor, a man in a suit Big Man stopped him and asked him what he was doing. Well, Dong Xuebin said that he wanted to choose a little girl, and even carried out Ma Wentao in a pretentious manner. Big Man didn't want him to go downstairs, so he said that all the little girls on the stage were gone. As a last resort, Dong Xuebin went back angrily. After a while, no one called the little girl over again.
It's all over for now.
I can't control that much anymore, just take it one step at a time.
Turn off all the lights, Dong Xuebin get into bed and sleep.
A little while...
Two hours...
Three o'clock...
In this tense environment, Dong Xuebin couldn't sleep soundly at all. Mimi was confused, half asleep and half awake, and thinking about the next plan from time to time. He estimated that if the batch of cultural relics were really in the hands of the owner of the seaside center, it was unlikely to be placed somewhere in the center, so he If you continue to pretend to be an appraisal expert, no matter whether they trust you or not, as long as Dong Xuebin sees the batch of cultural relics and knows their specific location, then Dong Xuebin can take action. You must not expose them before this. This is the only chance.
It was one o'clock at night, and the room was quiet, not a sound at all.
Dong Xuebin couldn't sleep anymore, so he got up from the bed, lit a cigarette, and went to the bathroom.
Kick, kick, kick, Dong Xuebin's ears pricked up, and suddenly he heard the sound of rapid running outside, vaguely, and a little noisy. What happened in the middle of the night? Dong Xuebin tensed up, put on his belt and left the bathroom. He leaned against the door and listened. The sound of running seemed to be getting closer and closer. Curious, he opened the door and leaned out to take a look. Dong Xuebin was stunned for a moment. The Power of Time and Wealth 267
He actually saw the beautiful woman he massaged during the day!
Why is she here? Still being chased?
"Stop! Stop her quickly! Don't let him escape!"
"Yes!" several Big Man chasing after them roared.
It was a foul language, and it meant the police. Dong Xuebin took a deep breath when he heard it, police? That middle-aged woman is a policeman? Seeing the beautiful woman running towards him with a frown on her face, Dong Xuebin immediately understood. No wonder, no wonder when giving her a massage in the afternoon, Dong Xuebin not only failed to extract any information about the boss from her mouth, but she felt like she had been tricked. She first tentatively asked Boss Wu, and then asked Ma Wentao. It turned out that she had the same plan as Dong Xuebin, and came undercover to find out the truth!
Dong Xuebin has no doubt about this.
Since she knew about the Seaside Center, maybe others would know about it, but it seemed that if the beautiful woman was really a police officer, the police station she belonged to did not seem to be very sure about the news, so she was assigned to come over alone to do a "feeling". Unexpectedly, the center was heavily guarded, and she must have been discovered when she went upstairs.
Really the police?
What can we do?
Dong Xuebin stared blankly at the beautiful woman getting closer and closer to her, knowing that she wanted to escape through the glass at the end of the corridor.
At this time, a door not far away in the corridor suddenly opened, and Ma Wentao walked out of it. Seeing this scene, he was slightly startled. A Big Man who was chasing after him hurriedly said something to him, saying that the beautiful woman sneaked up from the second floor to the third floor, and she didn't know what she wanted to do. Ma Wentao's heart sank, and he understood. Seeing that there was no one in front of him, the beautiful woman was running very fast, and no one caught up with her. Ma Wentao shouted to Dong Xuebin, "Xiao Xie! Catch her! Hurry!"
As long as it can be delayed for a second or two, people will not be able to escape!
Dong Xuebin felt anxious. These people even dared to steal the country's stolen national treasures. They were obviously a group of desperate masters. If the beautiful woman was really a policeman, she would definitely not be able to survive in their hands. What should I do? If I just sit back and let the beautiful woman escape, my identity will probably be exposed. How can I get close to those cultural relics? But what if we really take down the beautiful woman! The lives of my comrades are...
Wait, could it be that they found someone to test themselves?
No, definitely not. I am still an ordinary part-time worker in the afternoon. If they doubted me, they would not have let me work here in the first place. How about just sending them away? Why waste so much time on this scene? First let yourself give a beautiful woman a massage, and then let the beautiful woman pretend to be a policeman? Yes, this is unreasonable and too exaggerated! Then there is only one explanation, the beautiful woman is really a police officer!
Dong Xuebin's heart sank, we couldn't let her fall into the hands of these people!
No matter! Save people!
Dong Xuebin yelled, pretending to open his hand and stop the beautiful woman, "Stop!"
The beautiful woman didn't even look at him. She rushed over and hit Dong Xuebin with her wrist. Dong Xuebin screamed and fell to the ground. He breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at the beautiful woman. He saw her push open the window at the end of the corridor and climb down. She put her hand outside the window sill to buffer the distance. Whoosh, the hand on the window sill disappeared immediately and she jumped down!
This is the third floor. Generally speaking, you will either die or be crippled.
But Dong Xuebin believes that a person with professional training cannot be stumped by this height.
"What did you do? You can't stop even a woman?" Ma Wentao's face was gloomy and terrifying. After taking a look at Dong Xuebin, he immediately chased him to the window with others.
Dong Xuebin also quickly followed and looked down.
Sure enough, the beautiful woman seemed to have a little loose hair and no external injuries.
However, as soon as the "color" of relief flashed across his face, Dong Xuebin saw a scene that made his heart sink to the bottom. Two figures actually came up from the back door of the center, one of them holding a Police Baton, shouting and throwing her hand forward, the beautiful woman hid and continued to run forward. As the saying goes, two fists are no match for four hands. Before she could take two steps, another man in a suit chased out and hit the beautiful woman on the leg with a stick!
Under the influence of inertia, the beautiful woman staggered and fell to the ground!
The three men immediately attacked!
One person fell heavily on her stomach, and another picked up a stick and hit the beautiful woman on the back of her neck! A few passes! The beautiful woman fainted on the spot!
Ma Wentao was afraid of disturbing other guests, so he gestured to the people below to bring them up!
Dong Xuebin almost cursed me when I saw it, it's over!
But before Dong Xuebin could worry about the safety of the beautiful woman, a cold look hit him directly in the face, it was Ma Wentao. Ma Wentao was originally suspicious of Dong Xuebin. The appearance of this man was such a coincidence. Not only was he a coincidence, but he also happened to have the antique appraisal skills that the boss needed. That's why Ma Wentao was worried and asked people to keep an eye on him to prevent Dong Xuebin from contacting the outside world. They were afraid that he was an undercover agent sent by the police.
Of course, this is just suspicion.
But what happened now made Ma Wentao more than just suspicious!
In that case, let alone Dong Xuebin, a grown-up man, he could just be replaced by a little girl. The corridor is so narrow that even if he pounces with all his strength, he can't take down the beautiful woman, but he can still hold her back for a few seconds. This is not a technical job, but what about Dong Xuebin's performance? He just pretended to stretch out his arms and fell down with a push. He was more fragile than a woman. What does this mean? Ma Wentao's heart sinks, he really wants to let the woman go! The two of them are together!
Is this one too?
Ma Wentao stared at him.
Dong Xuebin knew something was wrong, he might have seen through his little thoughts! what to do? run? There are people all around them! I can't run away at all!
That's right! Dong Xuebin's eyes suddenly condensed!
One minute!
The picture suddenly changed!
"Xiao Xie! Catch her! Quick!" Ma Wentao growled.
Dong Xuebin As soon as he came back to his senses, he immediately adapted to the fainting feeling of time suddenly passing away. This time, he did not hesitate anymore. Looking at the beautiful woman running over, Dong Xuebin was heartbroken, took a step forward and opened his hands. Arm, the beautiful woman reacted very quickly, leaning almost to the far left side, but Dong Xuebin also reacted not too slowly, changing her posture slightly, and before the beautiful woman could squat down and try to get through, her arm fell down and hit her hard on the shoulder!
The beautiful woman's feet stumbled, but she didn't fall down and got through!
Dong Xuebin lay on the ground in a state of embarrassment, but did not give up. Instead, he stretched out his hand desperately and grabbed the beautiful woman's ankle!
The beautiful woman was running forward, but this time she lost her center of gravity and fell to the ground with a thud. Her eyelids sank, and she turned around beautifully with her hands on the floor. She lifted her right leg and kicked Dong Xuebin hard on the wrist. Kicking his hand away, Dong Xuebin secretly complained in his heart, knowing that even if she jumped, she wouldn't be able to fall, so it was better to suffer less and let herself be caught, so he endured the pain and pounced again, hugging her feet again!
At this time, Ma Wentao and others have caught up!
Hou Qing took a look and saw how ugly his face was, but he didn't make any more desperate struggle.
Ma Wentao said angrily, "Tie it up! Take me to my office!"
Two Big Man came up and tied up the beautiful woman with three strokes. They were afraid that she would attract other people by shouting nonsense, and stuffed a piece of white cloth in her mouth.
Dong Xuebin was still on the ground, grinning. The beautiful woman almost killed him these few times.
Ma Wentao looked at him, his face softened slightly, and he bent down to help him up, "Xiao Xie, good job, you're not hurt?"
Dong Xuebin said in pain, "It's not a problem, hiss, it's a skin injury."
Ma Wentao nodded secretly. He had seen Dong Xuebin's performance just now. If it weren't for him, he really doesn't know if he could have caught the female police officer. At this moment, the trace of doubt that was still in his heart suddenly dissipated. Ma Wentao knew I was overthinking it. If Xiao Xie was also a police officer and was responsible for responding to the policewoman inside, it would have been impossible to take her down so hard just now. The policewoman didn't seem to know Xiao Xie, so Xiao Xie should be fine.
Think about it, Xiao Xie is only in his early twenties. If he really graduated from the police academy, he would not have so much time to learn about antiques. And his antique identification skills Ma Wentao has been seen with his own eyes and cannot be mastered in one or two years. From this point of view, Xiao Xie cannot be a policeman.
Ma Wentao patted Dong Xuebin on the shoulder with approval, trusting him a little more
