Chapter 1453

Sister Ning's expression changed slightly.

She seemed a little alert.

"He just fainted due to the side effects of the drug."

She answered calmly.

Hu Bayi also walked to Huo Jilin's side.

He looked at Sister Ning warily.

"Are you sure?"

"We need to know the truth."

Sister Ning looked at the two of them deeply.

There was a hint of complex emotions that were not easily detected in her eyes.

"You can trust me."

"I am not false at all."

Huo Jilin and Hu Bayi exchanged glances.

Knowing that Sister Ning might be hiding more secrets.

They decided to trust her temporarily.

But continue to be vigilant.

"Okay."

"If what you say is true."

"Then we will believe you."

Huo Jilin's tone was firm.

"But remember."

"If there is any betrayal."

"We will not be soft."

After returning to the capital.

The two found themselves as if they were lost in the bustling streets.

And it was already night.

The lights were bright all around.

Countless people were surging.

Hu Bayi laughed.

"I'll treat you today."

He pointed to a time-honored hot pot restaurant in front of him.

"Let's go there!"

The two walked into the hot pot restaurant.

They smelled the rich aroma in the house.

And heard the sizzling sound of boiling water.

Huo Jilin couldn't help licking his lips.

The waiter greeted them warmly.

"How many people?"

"How many hot pots do you want?"

Huo Jilin smiled.

"Two."

"Thank you."

Hu Bayi echoed.

"It's great!"

"Two servings of fresh shrimps, too."

He patted Huo Jilin on the shoulder.

"I want everyone to eat enough!"

After the meal was served.

The two began to taste the food with relish.

The hot pot was tender and juicy.

Served with spicy sauce.

It's so delicious.

Hu Bayi, who was eating with gusto, couldn't help laughing.

"This is so addictive!"

"Brother Huo."

"You should have a better memory."

Huo Jilin apologized with a wry smile.

"I'm so sorry."

"I was really careless today."

Just as the two were enjoying the food.

When it came time to pay the bill.

Huo Jilin suddenly froze.

He searched his pockets.

He didn't find his wallet.

"What's the matter?"

Hu Bayi looked at his stunned expression and felt a little helpless.

Huo Jilin said with a smile.

"Sorry, Brother Hu."

"I forgot to bring my wallet again."

Hu Bayi shook his head.

"Really."

"Your memory is bad again."

"It doesn't matter."

"I'll pay the bill."

Huo Jilin said a little embarrassedly.

"I'm so sorry."

"I will never make the same mistake again next time."

Hu Bayi patted him on the shoulder.

Smiled.

"You're welcome!"

"We are not strangers."

"It's only right to help each other."

The two paid the bill and left the mutton hotpot restaurant.

Walking on the bustling streets.

Huo Jilin said with emotion.

"Brother Hu."

"I'm really glad to be friends with you."

Hu Bayi responded with a smile.

"Me too!"

"Everyone in our team is important."

"Only by supporting each other can we go further."

Huo Jilin held the jade pendant tightly in his hand.

Frowning slightly.

Questioning Hu Bayi.

"Where did you steal this cultural relic from?"

"This jade pendant looks very old."

"Obviously not an ordinary commodity."

Hu Bayi looked at Huo Jilin's anxious and sharp eyes.

Feeling guilty and uneasy.

He said frankly.

"Actually."

"It wasn't stolen."

"During our trip to Beijing."

"I found a tomb."

"There's this jade pendant in it."

"It exudes a mysterious and ancient atmosphere."

"I think it should have some value."

After hearing this, Huo Jilin showed a complicated expression on his face.

"How can you sell it so easily?"

"This cultural relic may hide deeper value and secrets."

Just as the two were discussing.

Suddenly, a young man in a well-dressed suit appeared outside the door.

He called himself Manager Sun.

He expressed a strong interest in the jade pendant.

And offered to buy it at a high price.

Manager Sun smiled.

"This young man has a good eye!"

"This jade pendant is indeed very special."

"If you are interested in selling it."

"I can give you a considerable price."

Hu Bayi glanced at Huo Jilin.

Then he took a deep breath.

In the end,Yes, I agreed to the deal.

Manager Sun happily picked up the jade pendant and observed it carefully.

He nodded with satisfaction and praised.

"It is indeed an ancient cultural relic."

"I have some research on ancient jade."

"The texture and material of this jade pendant are very precious."

"You have a unique vision."

Hu Bayi took the money with a smile.

And sent Manager Sun out.

Back to the house.

Huo Jilin still looked at him worriedly.

"Brother Hu."

"Why did you sell that cultural relic so easily?"

"You should know that it may have deeper value and secrets."

"Are we too hasty?"

Huo Jilin asked in a firm and stern tone.

Hu Bayi slowly paced in the room.

With a thoughtful look on his face.

"You're right."

"I regret it a little."

"But on the other hand."

"I was also attracted by the high price."

"After all, we need money to live now."

Huo Jilin interrupted with a wry smile.

"Yes."

"We are indeed penniless now."

"But this does not mean that we should give up the pursuit of history and cultural relics."

"That jade pendant may be a witness to a story and a heritage.

Hu Bayi stopped.

Looked at Huo Jilin seriously.

"You're right."

"I now realize that I made a mistake."

"I ignored more important things for the sake of immediate interests."

"Next time."

"I will be more cautious."

Huo Jilin smiled and patted Hu Bayi on the shoulder.

"Brother Hu."

"You don't have to blame yourself too much."

"We all make mistakes."

"The key is to learn from them."

"Keep moving forward. "

Huo Jilin and Wang Kaixuan stood in the corner of the antique shop.

Hearts were filled with uneasiness and anxiety.

The air in the shop seemed heavy.

It made them feel suffocated.

"Huo Jilin."

"What should we do?"

Wang Kaixuan asked in a low voice.

"This Manager Sun doesn't look simple."

"What is his purpose?"

"Why are we in such trouble?"

Huo Jilin frowned.

He raised his head slightly and looked at Manager Sun.

A trace of firmness flashed in his eyes.

"No matter who he is."

"We can't give in easily."

He answered in a low voice.

"I can guarantee that the so-called 'Night Pearl' is authentic."

Just as the two were discussing countermeasures.

Manager Sun stepped in front of them.

Staring at Huo Jilin.

There was a playful look in his eyes.

"Do you want to play tricks again? "

Manager Sun sneered.

"But your acting skills are really bad."

"The Night Pearl is a national treasure."

"How could it appear in such a small antique shop?"

Huo Jilin responded firmly.

"I tell you."

"That Night Pearl is definitely not fake."

"We have been searching for it for many years."

"It has unspeakable importance."

Manager Sun listened.

The sneer became more sarcastic.

"Importance?"

"Are you making up lies to cover up the charges of fraud and theft of state property?"

"Don't think I don't know that you have been sentenced to ten years in prison!"
