Huh!
Huo Jilin held the antique in both hands and looked at it for half an hour without blinking.
His brows were sometimes furrowed and sometimes relaxed, and his eyes were full of concentration and caution.
The shop was so quiet that it seemed as if he could hear the sound of a pin drop. Huo Jilin gently turned the antique and carefully observed every tiny line and flaw. Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief and showed a satisfied look on his face.
"This antique is real." Huo Jilin's voice broke the silence.
The mysterious guest standing aside moved slightly and asked in a low voice: "Then Boss Huo, what price can you offer?"
Huo Jilin pondered for a moment and stretched out a finger: "One hundred thousand yuan."
The mysterious guest was silent for a moment, as if thinking about whether the price was appropriate. Finally, he nodded: "Okay, deal."
Huo Jilin's face flashed with a hint of surprise. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the mysterious guest slowly raised his hand and took off the veil on his face.
Huo Jilin couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. Standing in front of him was a disfigured young man. The crisscrossing scars on his face were like a ferocious centipede, which was shocking.
"Boss Huo, I can sell this antique to you, but you have to help me restore my appearance." There was a hint of pleading and stubbornness in the young man's voice.
Huo Jilin widened his eyes and was a little at a loss for a moment.
"This... This may be a bit difficult." Huo Jilin said hesitantly.
The young man took a step forward and stared at Huo Jilin: "Boss Huo, you have a wide network of contacts in this industry and many means. As long as you are willing to help, there must be a way."
Huo Jilin avoided the young man's gaze and paced back and forth in the store: "It's not that I don't want to help you, but it's not that simple to restore your appearance."
The young man bit his lip, and a trace of despair flashed in his eyes: "Boss Huo, if you don't help me, I won't sell this antique."
Huo Jilin stopped and looked back at the young man, his heart was tangled.
"Don't worry, let me think of a way." Huo Jilin frowned and said.
The young man snorted coldly: "Boss Huo, I don't have much time to wait."
Huo Jilin walked back to the young man and looked at his face carefully: "How did your face... become like this?"
The young man turned his head away and was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke: "An accident ruined everything for me."
Huo Jilin sighed: "I can understand your pain, but restoring your appearance requires a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources, and it may not succeed."
The young man clenched his fists tightly: "Boss Huo, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I am willing to try."
Huo Jilin pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, I can help you find out, but I can't guarantee that it will work."
Hope rekindled in the eyes of the young man: "As long as Boss Huo is willing to help, no matter what the result is, I will be grateful."
Huo Jilin nodded: "Okay, let's complete the transaction of this antique first."
The young man handed the antique to Huo Jilin: "I hope Boss Huo will not break his promise."
Huo Jilin took the antique and said solemnly: "Don't worry, I will do my best."
The young man looked at Huo Jilin deeply and turned to leave the antique shop.
Huo Jilin looked at the young man's back as he left, with mixed feelings in his heart.
...
After the young man left, Huo Jilin took the antique and fell into deep thought.
"This is really a tricky thing." Huo Jilin said to himself.
At this time, Xiao Li, a shop assistant, came over and said, "Boss, are you really going to take care of this?"
Huo Jilin glanced at him and said, "Why? Do you think I shouldn't take care of this?"
Xiao Li scratched his head and said, "Boss, restoring appearance is not our specialty. If we don't do it well, we will ruin our reputation."
Huo Jilin sighed, "That being said, the young man is really pitiful."
"But boss, this will cost a lot of money and energy." Xiao Li said worriedly.
Huo Jilin frowned and said, "I know, but we can't just stand by and watch him die."
After a few days, Huo Jilin asked around and finally found some clues that might help.
He came to the store again and said to Xiao Li: "Xiao Li, I heard that there is a famous doctor who may be able to treat the young man's face."
Xiao Li was surprised and said: "Really? That will cost a lot of money, right?"
Huo Jilin nodded: "Money is secondary. The key is that this famous doctor has a strange temper and may not be willing to take this job."
"What should I do?" Xiao Li asked.
Huo Jilin pondered for a moment: "I plan to visit this famous doctor in person."
Huo Jilin prepared a generous gift and went to the famous doctor's residence.
After seeing the famous doctor, Huo Jilin said respectfully: "Divine doctor, I came here this time to ask for something."The famous doctor glanced at him and said, "Go ahead."
Huo Jilin told the young man about his condition.
The famous doctor frowned and said, "This is not easy to do. I am not sure."
Huo Jilin hurriedly said, "God doctor, please help me."
The famous doctor shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't want to help, but the risk is too great."
Huo Jilin begged, "God doctor, as long as you are willing to try, no matter what the result is, I will be grateful."
The famous doctor hesitated for a while and said, "Okay, I can try, but I have to say it in advance. If it doesn't work, don't blame me."
Huo Jilin nodded repeatedly, "That's natural, that's natural."
After Huo Jilin went back, he told the young man the news.
The young man was so excited that he almost knelt down, "Boss Huo, you are really my great benefactor."
Huo Jilin hurriedly helped him up, "Don't thank me first, I don't know if it will succeed."
The treatment began, and the process was full of hardships and uncertainties.
The young man sometimes felt desperate: "Boss Huo, am I hopeless?"
Huo Jilin encouraged him: "Don't be discouraged, as long as you hold on, there will always be a turning point."
One day, Xiao Li ran to Huo Jilin and said: "Boss, it's not good, the famous doctor said that he might have to give up treatment."
Huo Jilin was shocked: "What's going on? I'll go and see."
When Huo Jilin arrived, the famous doctor was helpless.
"This condition is much more complicated than I thought, I can't do anything." The famous doctor said.
Huo Jilin said anxiously: "Divine doctor, please think of a way, we have come to this point."
The famous doctor sighed: "I really tried my best."
Huo Jilin returned to the store with a heavy heart.
After the young man learned about it, his eyes dimmed: "Boss Huo, it seems that my face is hopeless."
Huo Jilin gritted his teeth: "No, let's think of another way."
Just then, a mysterious man came to the door.
"I heard about your story, I have a way." The mysterious man said.
Huo Jilin was half-believing and half-doubting: "Do you really have a way?"
The mysterious man smiled: "But the price is not low."
Huo Jilin hesitated: "As long as he can be cured, money is not a problem."
The mysterious man began to treat the young man, and the process was full of twists and turns.
Finally, one day, the young man's face began to show obvious changes.
