Chapter 238 The Long-Awaited Scheme: A Cunning Rabbit Has Three Burrows

Why would this happen? It all goes back to the Feast of the Demons. In truth, my banquet had a purpose from the very beginning.

...

For the past two years, I have been paying close attention to the major auction houses. As I told Old Tie, I have an inexplicable fondness for the Qianlong thumb rings. It was because of these thumb rings that I truly understood what it meant to be a schemer, and thus, I became a true schemer myself.

After the Qianlong thumb rings were auctioned for 47.36 million yuan in Hong Kong, I wanted to know who had acquired this treasure and if they could transfer it to me. I sent people to Hong Kong to investigate, and on the list of attendees for that auction, I discovered Old Tie.

Subsequently, when this set of Qianlong thumb rings was returned to the collector's country, my immediate thoughts turned to the paintings "Qianlong's Grand Review of Troops" and "Qing Yin Jian Gu Tu." If I could obtain either of these paintings, the price of the Qianlong thumb rings would undoubtedly soar.

Giving away the Qianlong thumb rings is a stratagem that is not uncommon; it is a tactic often employed by thieves to test the waters.

...

Thus, an idea struck me. I orchestrated the Feast of the Demons to test whether this matter was connected to Old Tie. Honestly, I was quite relieved when the place was empty. However, after Wu Sheng arrived, the situation gradually aligned with my thoughts, and indeed, Old Tie appeared.

At the banquet, I arranged the details for the theft of "Qing Yin Jian Gu Tu," and then I exposed it online, all for the Feast of the Demons. This was to give Old Tie an opportunity to plunge me into an abyss of no return. Old Tie was indeed Old Tie; he quickly took advantage of this and, within my plan, obtained "Qing Yin Jian Gu Tu" a step ahead.

During the process of stealing "Qing Yin Jian Gu Tu," Zhang Ying Ai spared no effort, which further indicated that Zhang Ying Ai was originally Old Tie's person. Therefore, Zhang Ying Ai sought out Cui Fang from "Zheng Qi" to handle this matter.

But for all their planning, they never anticipated one thing: the "Qing Yin Jian Gu Tu" they stole was a fake.

To obtain the genuine "Qing Yin Jian Gu Tu," Old Tie colluded with the design master, who had not yet revealed himself, and successfully orchestrated this car accident. In this car accident, Zhang Ying Ai saved me, playing on my desire to repay a life-saving debt. She continued to persecute my family, seduce me, until one day, Zhang Ying Ai could completely replace my family and successfully obtain the true "Qing Yin Jian Gu Tu."

After listening to my words, Lin Han looked confused, "How did they know "Qing Yin Jian Gu Tu" was with us?"

"After Kate was apprehended, you authenticated the "Qing Yin Jian Gu Tu" she had. When you declared it a fake, Old Tie could infer it."

Lin Han pursed her lips, "What now?"

"Re-hide the "Qing Yin Jian Gu Tu" that I placed in the courtyard house."

"Where?"

"At Brother Chang's place. Install a safe, surveillance, as secure as possible."

"Alright, I understand."

"Then go ahead."

"Your injuries?"

"It's nothing, don't worry, wife. I know what I'm doing."

...

After Lin Han left, I immediately called Luo Bo. Luo Bo was quite concerned about me, "I heard you were in a car accident. Are you alright?"

"Don't worry, brother-in-law. I have something to report to you. Hasn't a "Qing Yin Jian Gu Tu" gone missing from the case your sister is currently handling? Is that painting at our house?"

"Your house?"

"Your house. It's in the suitcase in the small bedroom. No password."

"Are you crazy? What if it gets lost?"

I could sense Luo Bo's nervousness and couldn't help but laugh, "Don't worry. If I had a unique lock, the world's greatest thieves would covet me. If I have no lock, no one will. By the way, brother-in-law, I need to ask you for a favor. This painting will be returned to the national treasury for now, but it must be kept secret, even from my sister."

Luo Bo chuckled, "Alright, kid. You've tricked your sister again."

"Isn't this for work? Heh heh!"

...

After finishing the call with Luo Bo, the nurse came to check on my condition. I asked the nurse, "Can I move?"

"No."

"I don't know where I put my phone just now. Can you help me find it?"

"Sure!"

As the nurse helped me look for my phone, I subtly slipped my turned-off phone into her pocket. The nurse searched for a long time without finding it. I smiled and asked, "Nurse, could you lend me your phone?"

"Okay!"

After she lent me her phone, I looked at her, and she looked at me. I offered an awkward smile, "Nurse, perhaps you could check on another patient first? I feel a bit awkward making a call next to you."

"Alright!"

As the nurse closed the door, I immediately used her phone to call Yu Xiao Luo.

"Sister!" I called out affectionately.

"You're awake? Are you alright?"

"I have an urgent matter. To make a long story short, are you at work now? Did you receive the large teddy bear I mailed to you?"

"I received it. Is it a gift for me? You almost died, do you know that? And you're still doing these useless things," Yu Xiao Luo said unhappily, showing no sign of joy at receiving a gift.

"The "Qing Yin Jian Gu Tu" is inside the teddy bear. Goodbye!"

Nurse Sister returned. I smiled gently and handed the phone back to her, "Thank you. Could you help me look for my phone again?"

Since I was in a VIP room, the nurse maintained her professional demeanor. She nodded helplessly. While she wasn't paying attention, I retrieved my phone from her pocket and then smiled, "I found it! I found it! It was under my body. Thank you, Nurse."

"Mm! Glad you found it!"

After the nurse left, I stared at my smart 3G phone. On the back cover, with a fine oil-based pen, I gently drew a small mark. Due to being disassembled and reassembled, this mark was misaligned.

These were my usual defensive measures. I suspected someone was eavesdropping, but it didn't matter. "The world's things do not belong to me, and the world's things are all for my use." In simple terms, the trick of using borrowed flowers to offer Buddha was something I had long since mastered.

Estimating the time, it was almost there, so I called Luo Bo again, "How is it, brother-in-law?"

"The house was burglarized."

"How can that be? What about my painting?"

"We didn't see your painting. It's all your fault. You thought you were so clever, finding a national treasure, and you didn't hand it in. Now it's lost. What do we do? What do we do?"

"Let me think, let me think. Brother-in-law, don't say anything about this yet. Discuss it with my sister and close this case first. It would be helping a brother. I will definitely find the "Qing Yin Jian Gu Tu" later."

"This is ridiculous! Do you think the Criminal Investigation Bureau is our family's property?"

"Then what? I've messed everything up, brother-in-law. Are you going to watch me go to jail?"

With that, I hung up. Luo Bo was a smart man, highly intelligent. He would surely understand that I wouldn't use personal feelings to excuse myself. As long as he spoke to Yu Xiao Luo, he would understand and persuade Yu Xiao Luo to close the case and conceal this matter.

...

After hanging up the phone, I fell into deep thought. They had indeed tampered with my phone. After I called Luo Bo, the suitcase was stolen. That unlocked suitcase contained nothing at all, but Old Tie didn't know that. He would surely send people to search for it. When they found nothing, he would inevitably become suspicious.

How could I escalate their conflict? This was a crucial point. Who should I call? Wu Sheng, the design master, or Zhang Ying Ai? If the person I called was the thief, then all of this would be for naught and would instead legitimize the thief.

Zhang Ying Ai, she should be injured like me. It would be inconvenient for her to act at this time.

Therefore, I dialed Zhang Ying Ai's number, "Thank you for saving me," I said directly.

"Saving you once doesn't mean I can save you a second time?"

"What do you mean?"

"Do you really think we're all oracles who can see the future? I'm telling you, this is all fake. Ever since we arrived in Xi'an, we've been using you?"

"You? Old Tie?"

"You're still quite clever, Tang Nan. Your tricks have been seen through."

"Impossible!"

"In the beginning, you were still smart, letting your wife use her work convenience to successfully swap the "Qing Yin Jian Gu Tu." This also led to Kate stealing a piece of waste paper. But after the car accident, your head was crushed by the car door, and you yourself exposed the location of the true "Qing Yin Jian Gu Tu."

"I exposed it myself. You installed a listening device in my phone."

"That's right, Tang Nan, you haven't been so foolish as to die yet. After I found Cui Fang, I asked her how I could win your heart. She told me that a man only needs two types of women: one who is devoted beyond measure, rare and unattainable. The other is a woman who can help him. Compared to your acting wife, I can provide you with better assistance. You were too clever for your own good this time. Only with my help can you avoid going to jail."

"How will you help me?"

"Zheng Qi. I can contact their people through Cui Fang to judge Tie Shan and the others."

"Aren't you afraid Old Tie and the others will find out?"

"If they trust me, they should pay the price."

I smiled, "Let me think about it. I'll remove the listening device first."
