"Recently, Nanhe City and I have been invited as special guests to host a meeting on the ninth floor of the Zhang Clan Auction House in Nanhe City."

Old Man Li drank a mouthful of tea and then, with a smile on his face, he proudly told me the purpose of their visit to Nanhe City.

Old Man Li's words stunned me, because I never expected that the two old men in front of me were the special guests of Top Auctions.

This was a world-class auction, many big shots from overseas had sent Zhang Chenglin applications, hoping that he would be able to participate in this auction.

"What do you mean by 'special guest'?" Although I am a little shocked that Old Man Li and the rest are able to participate in the Top Auctions, I am still a little unclear about this concept of inviting guests.

"Actually, it's just asking us two old men to confirm that what is on auction is real."

The Old Man Wang interjected and explained it so clearly that it was easy to understand. I immediately understood.

These two old men had the ability to identify antiques and were invited by Zhang Chenglin to become the appraiser.

In other words, these two old men were not bad, but why did they become a peddler in the Beihe City?

"You're not lying to me, are you?"

I acted as if I didn't believe them, which made them a little nervous.

"Little brother Chen Yang, if we deceive you, you will be your grandson." Old Man Wang immediately swore a venomous oath, and I was so shocked that I almost threw the teacup in my hand onto the ground.

These two old men are both old enough to be my grandpas, but now that they're my grandsons, I can't stand them.

"No, I'm just saying it casually. Don't take it seriously, your bro."

I quickly tried to persuade her with a smile to ease the awkward atmosphere.

"What I mean is, when I saw you all in Beihe City, I was rather down on my luck. How could I have been invited by Zhang Chenglin to become a appraiser?"

"Sigh!" Old Man Li let out a long sigh, then faintly said, "This is a long story."

"Let me do it!" Old Man Wang took over, and then I turned my gaze towards him, "This is all because of our identity."

"Identity?" I replied doubtfully.

"The last time we met, I thought you knew. We were grave robbers."

Old Man Wang seemed to have understood something when he said this. In novels, the identity of a tomb robber sounded impressive, but in reality, people hated him to the bone. This should be the concern of the Old Man Wang and his.

"When we were young, for the sake of wealth, we dug up many graves and stole the gold, silver, and jewelry inside. At that time, we could be said to be infamous. Even the police were unable to do anything to us. We were very proud of ourselves. "

Old Man Wang stared fixedly at the empty teacup in his hand as he spoke, as if he was lost in a distant memory.

"At that time, we were really famous. Not only were there wanted posters, but we were also on TV. Even in the antique industry, many people were familiar with us."

Old Man Li interrupted, revealing the nostalgia in his heart for that period of time. His words unconsciously revealed his pride.

"Don't say anymore. These are all shameful matters. Yet, you're still speaking with such a complacent manner."

When the original narrator, Old Man Wang, saw Old Man Li's appearance, he unhappily interrupted him and threw him a supercilious look. This scene was very funny.

"This was once a glorious moment for us, how could we be ashamed?" The Old Man Li turned his head towards me and asked me with wide eyes, "Little brother Chen Yang, do you think so?"

I nodded, smiling, to show that he was right.

"Then it was because the little brother Chen Yang didn't want to give you any face, so he reluctantly nodded." Old Man Wang still struck at Old Man Li in disdain.

"No. Although the nature of your young deeds is not bad, they are indeed very hot-blooded and worthy of remembrance and pride."

"Old Man Wang, did you see that? I, Little Brother Chen Yang, did not lie to me just now nor was it for my face.

Old Man Wang didn't say anything more, but from the expression on his face after hearing what I said, he is really happy. After all, who doesn't want others to praise their former glory?

"It is precisely because we were too glorious when we were young that we do not know our place, and that we have provoked a calamity."

The Old Man Wang didn't continue their debate with the Old Man Li and continued with their story.

"A disaster?"

I think the Old Man Wang should talk about the reason why they have fallen to their current state.

"We thought we were very skilled and had a smart mind, so we committed the crime even more boldly. In the end, we were caught by the police because of our negligence."

"How is this our negligence?" It was clearly the police who asked for external help, and with the addition of us underestimating the enemy, that's why we were captured. "

Hearing that, the Old Man Li expressed different opinions again.

"External help?"

Even the police could not catch Old Man Wang and Old Man Li, who knows what kind of powerful external help could catch them?

"It's the Zhang Chenglin who invited us this time around. Back then, he helped the police and set up a trap for Old Wang and I.

Originally, Zhang Yaxin's grandfather, Zhang Chenglin, had this kind of relationship with the Old Man Li, but hearing them say this, they should be enemies with Zhang Chenglin, so why would they invite them to be the appraiser now?

Old Man Wang didn't manage to answer my question and continued to narrate their story.

"After we were caught, we were legally sentenced to an indefinite date. At that time, I had already planned to spend my life in prison, but Zhang Chenglin found us and said that he could get us out, but he had to help him. "

"What kind of help?"

"This Zhang Chenglin is very smart, he wants to create a tomb, he lacks capable people to help him, so he has taken a fancy to us."

"Is Zhang Chenglin also a tomb robber?" Hearing Old Man Wang say this, I couldn't help but ask.

"Zhang Chenglin is an archaeologist. He is searching for an ancient tomb for his country, and there is an intrinsic difference between him and us."

That would explain why he helped the police, and why he was able to get the Old Man Wang and the rest out of here.

"Why didn't Zhang Chenglin find you guys directly? He wanted to use this method to capture you all so that we could discuss this deal."

The most direct method that ordinary people could think of was to find a target to talk to. It would not take too much time and effort to think of such a roundabout way to get what they wanted right from the beginning.

Old Man Wang glanced at me, and said embarrassedly: "Actually in the beginning, Zhang Chenglin came to find us, but we rejected him directly."
