Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Seeing that Lin Ran was serious, the woman looked a little solemn and said, "Okay, he is here now, please wait a moment."

"It's okay, don't worry." Lin Ran waved his hand.

The woman stood up and left. People came and went in the breakfast shop, and her figure quickly disappeared from sight.

Lin Ran took a sip of tea and began to observe his surroundings.

I found that most of the people here were Europeans and Americans, and there were also some people wearing headscarves and veils.

Lin Ran sighed helplessly: "I don't know if the people who come this time can keep their word."

"What are you thinking about?" Wen Ya asked.

"Sir, what good stuff do you have in your hand?" A rich middle-aged male voice sounded.

Interrupted Lin Ran who was about to answer the question.

Lin Ran was startled when he heard the sound.

Because this voice sounds familiar.

He looked up and saw an old man in a suit standing in front of him.

And it’s really a narrow road between enemies.

This man is Mr. John, the diplomatic envoy who was deceived by Lin Ran in China.

The moment their eyes met, John's eyes flashed with joy.

Lin Ran looked at Mr. John blankly, why did his expression look so excited.

"Hahaha, it turns out that the jade pocket watch is in your hands, Mr. Lin."

John sat directly opposite Lin Ran without waiting for Lin Ran's invitation.

The woman just now stood behind John without saying a word.

Wen Ya was even more stunned when she saw the scene in front of her. Lin Ran's network of contacts in China was already terrifying, but she didn't expect that he also knew people abroad.

Lin Ran had been observing John's expression.

At the beginning, he sold a high imitation to John and made a lot of money from him.

After the fake was sent to the Royal Museum, I don’t know if further examination was carried out.

Based solely on the craftsmanship, Lin Ran is not worried about being noticed, because they put all their efforts into the work.

However, as long as they conduct material testing, they can determine the specific age.

John suddenly stretched out his hand to Lin Ran and said with a smile: "Some time ago, I heard that Xinmai Auction House acquired a gilt Buddha statue. When I saw it, wasn't it something I had seen in a museum before?"

"I still feel very confused. It turns out to be Mr. Lin. It's not surprising."

"Ambassador John, why are you here?" Lin Ran deliberately changed the topic and did not follow his words.

"Of course I'm here to buy something on behalf of Sir Cameron."

As a messenger, John actually helps Cameron with things.

Lin Ran blinked, showing a puzzled expression, and asked: "Ambassador John, shouldn't you be in China now?"

"Hahaha." John laughed, "Mr. Lin, thanks to you, I have been promoted now, but now."

Just as John was about to introduce his identity, the topic suddenly stopped.

He said: "We are old friends, so I might as well speak frankly. I know you want the dragon robe, and we also want your jade pocket watch."

"Yeah." Lin Ran nodded and continued to drink tea.

I breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the Royal Museum had not seen through the fakes they had made.

Otherwise, there is absolutely no way John would say that he was promoted.

"My suggestion is, let's trade."

"What can I get?" Lin Ran said calmly.

Wen Ya, who had been silent on the side, was now completely confused.

Lin Ran passed by the dragon robe again and again, but someone would always send it back again.

Moreover, the status of the people who come seems to be getting higher every time.

"You can get the dragon robe." John dropped a bag directly on the table.

The dragon robe had no collection value to them, so they threw it into the bag casually.

Wen Ya immediately took the bag over and opened it. It was the dragon robe he wanted inside.

It's just that being kneaded like this makes Wen Ya feel very distressed. These guys really don't know how to cherish cultural relics.

Lin Ran did not conduct a test, but glanced at Wen Ya.

After confirming that the dragon robe they wanted was in the bag, he nodded.

He put down his cup and kept staring at John.

John didn't panic at all and said, "What you want is here."

Lin Ran smiled and said, "What about the money?"

There was a trace of annoyance on John's face.

"It's all Qiaoson's own fault. Of course it was deducted from his bonus."

If Qiao Sen were here, he would probably have a mental breakdown.

He had been trying to think of ways to recover the losses, but was kicked over by his boss.

But these people should be living in this kind of intrigue environment.

After the transaction was completed, Lin Ran decisively handed the box to John.

John just glanced at the pocket watch inside and handed it to the lady behind.

There was a daze in the lady's eyes.

Then he leaned down and said a few words in John's ear.

John nodded and motioned for her to take her things down.

"Mr. Lin, you have really good taste." John looked at Lin Ran with a playful smile, but there was a trace of doubt in his eyes.

"Why are you interested in the dragon robe? From what I understand, if you take this thing back to China, you will be targeted immediately, right?"

John was testing Lin Ran.

After all, in his mind, Lin Ran was just a thief who specialized in stealing cultural relics from museums and other places. He should be a wanted criminal and should not be helping the country.

This made him confused. Even if there was no information available about the dragon robe being auctioned at Xinmai Auction House, some Chinese people would definitely know about it.

John knew very well that Huaxia had repeatedly come forward to ask for the cultural relics that had been stolen from the Royal Museum, but they kept making excuses to shirk them.

They could refuse, but as long as Lin Ran wanted to return to China, he would definitely not be able to keep his dragon robe.

"Yes." Lin Ran replied with a smile, "I want to give the dragon robe to the museum."

"Why?" John stared at Lin Ran warily.

Lin Ran had already thought of his words.

"In exchange for the trust of the museum." Lin Ran said, "Our main customers are distinguished customers like you. The dragon robe has no value, but in exchange for the trust of the museum, we can get more."

John kept staring at Lin Ran's eyes, trying to see if he was lying.

It's a pity that he has been a messenger for more than ten years, but he can't see through the young man in front of him.

What he said makes sense. After defrauding the trust of the museum, there will be more opportunities to steal cultural relics from it later.

The dragon robe is indeed not attractive to them, but that doesn't mean there aren't any in the museum.

Although he no longer needs to continue stealing cultural relics in China, he can package the resources and sell them to his successors, and he can make a lot of money.

His eyes rolled and a smile appeared on his face again.

He said solemnly: "Mr. Lin is indeed far-sighted. Can you consider establishing a cooperative relationship with our Cameron family?"
