The man in the black robe knew his only chance of survival was now. He certainly wouldn't easily reveal the location of the treasure in his hand to Lin Xiaotian.
When he saw Lin Xiaotian's gaze, he couldn't help but become nervous.
Especially when Lin Xiaotian looked in a certain direction, his pupils contracted violently.
Lin Xiaotian smiled, "Is it in this direction?"
"And this direction, besides those few broken cabinets, there's nothing else. But I guess this thing definitely wouldn't be placed inside the cabinets. After all, in such an obvious place, even a fool wouldn't hide something."
"However, sometimes things have to be done the opposite way."
"Now I'll go and open those cabinets. There will definitely be a lot of bowls and dishes, and other tableware."
The man in the black robe's pupils contracted even further. His eyes were filled with disbelief.
But in just a moment, he hid all those expressions.
"No, inside are just some ordinary dining utensils. We have to eat and drink and excrete here in our daily lives, so these tools are naturally useful."
Lin Xiaotian's smile became even more pronounced. "You desperadoes, if you were to kill someone here and leave some knives, I would believe it. But to say you eat here and cook yourselves?"
"I say I can't see through you guys."
"With that much time, you would have ordered takeout with my mother long ago, or gone out for a big meal. Would you cook yourselves?"
"Do you think this young master is stupid?"
"Then you remember the grudge and curse me in your heart again."
The man in the black robe had never considered this question. His expression turned a little pale.
Lin Xiaotian smiled and opened the cabinet. Inside, there were indeed some bowls.
"Look how obvious your flaws are. If you were cooking here, there would only be bowls but no pots, and not even a few pairs of chopsticks. And those chopsticks clearly haven't been used for a long time, but these bowls are spotless."
"Let me see how many good things are hidden in here."
"This is a product of the Ming Dynasty imperial kiln."
"Good stuff, it can fetch at least ten million, no problem."
"And you got over a dozen pieces at once. You also stored these plates here directly. Aren't you afraid of chipping and greatly reducing their value?"
His smile became even more obvious. He hadn't expected to find so many good things here.
Especially the exquisite porcelain, which was completely undamaged.
However, if these people had casually placed them here, ordinary people would definitely not recognize them.
They also wanted to play the "hiding in plain sight" trick. Even if someone found this place, they would definitely not pay attention to those broken bowls.
Only despair remained in the man in the black robe's eyes. He slumped to the ground dejectedly, "Please, don't take it all. That's all my worldly possessions. I've worked hard for half my life, and all I have left are these treasures."
"If you take it all away, what will I do in the future?"
"Future?"
Lin Xiaotian's smile held more mockery. "Are you worried that you won't have money to buy paper to burn for yourself in the future?"
"You should also think about who will burn paper money for you after you die. This young master can reluctantly help you buy a little more."
"It's no problem to burn tens of billions for you."
"Consider these things my reward. I am also your retribution. Go to the Yellow Springs road with peace of mind. When you get to the King of Hell, remember to tell him that I killed you."
Lin Xiaotian flicked a silver needle.
This guy was not a good person. If he was still mobile, he might cause some trouble.
And the treasures here hadn't been moved out yet!
Ming blue and white porcelain, at least twenty pieces, all placed by Lin Xiaotian in a cabinet, cushioned with some soft cloth to prevent breakage.
What bothered him the most was a broken bowl in an inconspicuous corner inside.
It was not made of ceramic, and at the bottom of the bowl, the words "Ming Jue Temple" were written.
Legend had it that Zhu Yuanzhang had been a monk for a period of time, and that temple was Ming Jue Temple.
Lin Xiaotian carefully observed, his smile becoming more and more pronounced. "I have to thank you for your contribution. I will definitely not bear to sell these things."
"After all, these things were dug out of graves by you. Although most of them were sold by you, the remaining Ming blue and white porcelain, and this broken bowl."
"Later, I will display them directly in my wife's company, and let some appraisal masters come to visit."
"This can also increase the fame of my wife's company. I will remember your contribution. After you die, I will come and burn more paper money for you."
After speaking, he patted the man in the black robe's shoulder and casually picked up the cabinet.
As he walked out, he flicked the cigarette butt he was holding towards the inside.
It directly hit the gunpowder.
Lin Xiaotian disappeared from the spot at extreme speed.
"Boom!"
A huge sound suddenly erupted. The scrap metal recycling station didn't have many people, so it was blown into a mess of garbage.
And the traces left at the scene had long since been wiped clean.
Lin Xiaotian was already far away and could still feel a wave of heat.
"These bastards, I don't know where they got this gunpowder from. The power is really extraordinary."
"If I were really at the scene, I might have been injured."
"I need to be careful next time. I can't have such an accident again today."
"But the harvest is full."
He drove away with a brilliant smile and soon returned to the company entrance.
As he carried the cabinet inside, the security guards were all surprised. After all, the cabinet looked like junk picked up from a junkyard.
And there was a not-so-pleasant smell on the cabinet.
Lin Xiaotian didn't care. He didn't have anything to pack the blue and white porcelain with.
After entering the company, he placed the cabinet at the front desk and smiled, "Go find my wife for me, and call Captain Feng over."
The receptionist naturally recognized Lin Xiaotian. She looked at the cabinet with doubt but didn't dare to ask too much. She directly picked up the desk phone and made a call.
Lin Xiaotian sat down in the nearby lounge, lit a cigarette, and smoked leisurely.
After a few minutes, the elevator doors opened. Beside Chu Nianxue was another old man.
The old man was Tang Jingde.
"Oh, Old Master Tang is here too. That's great, today I'll let you see something good."
Tang Jingde turned his head and saw Lin Xiaotian. A smile also appeared on his face, and he said with surprise, "Young friend, if anyone else said this, I would dismiss it. But since you said it, I must see where this good thing is."
