After seeing Yuan Jing off, Lu Zheng could finally free up his hands to handle his own affairs.
"Boss Gu?" He first called Gu Pingzhong at Zhong Jade Studio.
"Mister Lu?"
"I have some collectibles here and would like you to take a look at them. If you're interested, you can have priority in buying them."
"Oh?" Gu Pingzhong was intrigued, his voice carrying a smile. "What sort of things are they? Your old man's collection again?"
"Part of them. The rest I acquired through other channels."
Gu Pingzhong had left Lu Zheng with a good impression, so Lu Zheng intended to keep working with him this time and test the waters to see whether they could establish a long-term arrangement.
In any case, he had a fallback. Once the items were sent to the Great Jing Dynasty, not even immortals could find them! "Other channels..."
Such vague wording truly could not help but make Gu Pingzhong think more deeply. Still, these matters certainly could not be made clear over the phone.
"How about this? I happen to be free today. Why don't you bring the items to my shop?"
"Of course."
Gu Pingzhong stared blankly at the suitcase Lu Zheng had opened.
The next moment, like a rabbit, Gu Pingzhong shot to his feet with a whoosh, raced to the door, and shut it.
Turning around, he swallowed hard and fixed his gaze on Lu Zheng. "What channel did these things come in through?"
Lu Zheng blinked. "What's wrong? Is there something off about them?"
"If you hadn't come to me, proving that you truly had no one else to appraise them, I really wouldn't want to believe a single word you said!"
Gu Pingzhong enunciated every word. "These things were all dug up from underground!"
