Chapter 124: Chapter 120: Mr. Lin Takes Action, This is the Real Scam! (Please Subscribe)_3

“Lin, how much did this cost?” Liu Qing smiled.

“One thousand two hundred.”

“Lin, I’ll be honest with you, the wholesale price for this should be twelve yuan. If you want to find good stuff, you really need to learn more from Aunt Liu,” Liu Qing said with a smile.

She thought that Lin Chuan might be a top talent in other areas.

But in the antiques circle, Lin Chuan was an absolute novice.

The kind that anyone could see right through from a mile away!

“What about these?”

Lin Chuan took out the “Xuande Furnace,” “Ming Dynasty Blue and White Multicolored Porcelain,” “Fengtian One Tael,” among other antique items, but Liu Qing just glanced at them casually, didn’t even take a proper look, waved her hand, and declared her judgement.

—They’re all fake!

In Liu Qing’s eyes, the sudden despondent look on Lin Chuan’s face also showed a bit of resentment for being cheated.

Liu Qing then consoled Lin Chuan with a few words before they parted ways.

After parting,

All four people had satisfied and content smiles on their faces.

Old Zhang thought the deal was done.

Liu Qing thought the deal was done.

Lin Chuan and Little Landlady also thought the deal was done.

In short, it was happiness all around.

Little Landlady, riding her little electric scooter, enjoyed the embrace of Lin Chuan as they casually traveled back to Happiness Community, humming a tune along the streets and alleys.

In Happiness Community, the evening scenery gradually unfolded, the setting sun’s afterglow scattered on the patchy stone paths, casting warm and mysterious shadows, the glass windows of the old houses in the neighborhood refracted soft light, and a cool breeze slipped through as well.

In Lin Chuan’s rented apartment.

“Chairman, today you called me ‘Xinxin’; it sounded so nice,” the Little Landlady said, propping her hands on the table, cradling her face, focused on her chairman.

“Eh, I still prefer calling you Little Landlady,” Lin Chuan said, while placing the fake antiques he had acquired that day on the table.

Little Landlady pouted and asked, “Can we take away the ‘Little Landlady’ part and replace it with another word?”

“Replace it with what?” Lin Chuan responded, as his gaze fell on one of the coins.

“Replace it with ‘old’.” Little Landlady’s face bloomed with a smile, and she blinked her eyes.

“Old… Landlady?” Lin Chuan was startled, looked at Little Landlady and said, “I haven’t had dinner yet, are you offering yourself as dinner?”

“It’s not out of the question,” she said with a beaming smile.

Lin Chuan lightly flicked Little Landlady’s forehead, then set the coin in front of her, “This coin, as a betrothal gift—what do you think?”

“I don’t need a betrothal gift,” Little Landlady said with a hint of shyness on her face.

“Don’t underestimate this coin; it’s worth forty million!” Lin Chuan declared with a laugh, his eyes deep and spirited.

“Isn’t it a fake? How can it be worth forty million?” Little Landlady was taken aback, her eyes settling on the coin.

In the center of the coin, there were the characters for “Guangxu Yuanbao.”

Around the edge, there were the slightly smaller characters “Made in Fengtian Province,” “Gui Mao,” “Kuping Silver One Tael.”

On the flip side, a noble and mighty dragon coiled powerfully and majestically.

“It’s fake now, but it will turn real tomorrow,” Lin Chuan said with a mysterious smile.

The genuine coin, also known as “Fengtian One Tael.”

Its sample coins, ever since their first public exposure in the 30th Year of Guangxu’s Reign (1904), were recognized by the public and considered “Primary Treasure of Mechanism Coins.”

And during an auction, it started at fifteen million and was eventually sold for the sky-high price of forty-six million, setting a new record for domestic coin auction sales, and ranking it sixth in the world for public coin auction prices.

Lin Chuan planned to counterfeit the “Fengtian One Tael” to trap Liu Qing in his scheme.

In the virtual world of “Experience Life,” Lin Chuan just happened to have counterfeited “Fengtian One Tael.”

As for the other items he acquired today, they were merely to mislead others.

After all, if he had only acquired a single coin and it happened to be the “Fengtian One Tael,” that would be far too suspicious.

Confident in his skills of counterfeiting, Lin Chuan quickly took out the prepared items and began the forgery of the “Fengtian One Tael.”

Little Landlady assisted him, exclaiming in amazement again and again!

At night, the bright moon hung high.

The counterfeiting was nearing completion.

“Old… Little Landlady, could you arrange a meeting with President Li for tomorrow? Tell him I’ve acquired some antiques today and request his help to authenticate them,” Lin Chuan said, stretching his muscles and smiling.

Little Landlady immediately nodded, took out her phone and sent a message to President Li.

President Li was originally a “stooge” used by Liu Qing.

Now, Lin Chuan was about to use Liu Qing’s “stooge” to set a real scam for her, a real Antique Scam!
