    With a beautiful woman as company, the atmosphere in the car is really different.

    Originally, everyone looked sleepy when they got off the plane, but now, because of Lin Qianyi, everyone deliberately found a topic to chat with Lin Qianyi after driving.

    Lin Qianyi is worthy of being an associate professor in the university. She is well-informed. She is also able to deal with the siege of these traveling guys around me. She can answer questions whether it is about local customs or cultural relic appreciation.

    ¡°But Wang Daquan and I were not among the people chatting with Lin Qianyi.

    Because of Wang Daquan¡¯s personality, he closed his eyes and rested his mind as soon as he got in the car. He hugged the suitcase tightly with both hands. He looked like a dedicated soldier on a mission.

    ¡°I¡¯ve seen too little of the world and don¡¯t understand many things. Not only what Lin Qianyi said, but also many of the things my companions said, I couldn¡¯t relate to.

    Out of boredom, I secretly looked at Lin Qianyi¡¯s profile from the side.

    ?????????????? But I don¡¯t have any wrong feelings for her. To use a popular saying, she is a goddess and I am a loser, the two of us are basically parallel.

    I secretly looked at her like this because I accidentally discovered something just now, that is, this Lin Qianyi looks somewhat similar to my father.

    Especially those eyes, they are exactly the same as my dad¡¯s!

    ¡°Perhaps I stared for too long, and Lin Qianyi noticed something. She suddenly turned around and asked me what I was looking at.

    I was stunned for a moment, then a thought flashed through my mind, and I replied: "Ms. Lin, do you know the origin of the Buddha statue we transported to Hong Kong this time?"

    There are quite a lot of Buddha statues circulating in the world. In the few years I have been in the security company, the auction house has accepted dozens of cases of Buddha statues. But this time, it seems particularly grand. It is obviously an ordinary statue that cannot be sold.  No matter how ordinary a bronze Buddha statue is, it actually made Manager Lei come to Hong Kong in person.

    Thinking back to the dream I had on the plane today, I couldn¡¯t help but be curious about the mysterious Buddha statue.

    The others also stopped talking at this time and pricked up their ears curiously.

    Lin Qianyi smiled and said, "Didn't Manager Lei tell you?"

    We all shook our heads.

    Lin Qianyi continued to smile and said: "In terms of artistic value, this Buddha statue is actually very ordinary. The information I have shows that this Buddha statue came from the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. Buddha statues from that time are not uncommon on the market today.  And that Buddha statue is not the work of anyone, it seems to be just a Buddha statue cast by a monk in a temple. The material of the Buddha statue is just ordinary pure copper, and it has not even been gilded. At most, it is only worth a penny.  A million or so."

    Now I¡¯m even more curious: ¡°Then why does Manager Lei want to mobilize so much? Just because he happens to have those Buddha eyes in his hand? Shouldn¡¯t he?¡±

    Lin Qianyi continued to explain: "That's because although this Buddha statue has no artistic value, it does have historical value. I heard that this Buddha statue once fell into the Qing Palace and was later stored in the Old Summer Palace.  The Empress Dowager Cixi¡¯s tribute.¡±

    The people in the car were surprised at the same time.

    It turns out that he was worshiped by Lafayette!

    I secretly thought that it was no wonder. Although this Buddha statue looked ordinary, if it had been used by the royal family, its value would be different.  What Chinese people like most are royal objects. No matter what they are, as long as they are related to the royal family, their value is inestimable.

    I still remember that when I first joined the security company, the auction house once auctioned a set of cabinets used by Qianlong's daughter-in-law. The broken wooden cabinet was sold for a sky-high price of 20 million. Now  The price of this Buddha statue used by Cixi cannot be cheaper than that broken wooden cabinet, right?

    After I asked my question, Lin Qianyi also became interested in me.

    "Xiao Lin, how come your name is Sijiu? Are you from the capital?"

    Before I could answer, Jiang Kai, who was sitting next to me, grabbed the conversation and said, "You're from the capital city, Xiao Lin is just an ordinary small town person."

    ¡°As he spoke, he announced the name of my hometown.

    Who would have expected that after hearing about my hometown, Lin Qianyi's eyes suddenly lit up, and she asked Jiang Kai: "Where is Sijiu from? Then why does he have a Beijing accent?"

    I laughed dryly and interjected: "I learned it from my father when I was young. He is from the capital."

    Lin Qianyi blinked her beautiful eyes and asked me again: "From the capital? Is your father an educated youth?"

    "Probably so"

    &nbsShe was holding a magnifying glass and observing the Buddha statue repeatedly, whispering something from time to time, while Manager Lei stood beside her and nodded frequently.

    Ten minutes later, Lin Qianyi put away the magnifying glass and nodded at Manager Lei. It seemed that she had confirmed that the Buddha statue was indeed an ancient artifact from the Ming Dynasty.

    However, the identification step was not over yet. Next, Manager Lei waved to Wang Daquan, who immediately took out the black suitcase that he had been holding in his arms and beat the suitcase in front of us.  Come on.

    I lay down behind Jiang Kai, stood on tiptoes, and saw what was placed in the suitcase. It was exactly what I thought before, it was the pair of Buddha eyes that the Buddha statue had lost.

    Lin Qianyi took out one of the Buddha's eyes with her white-gloved hands, as carefully as if she was holding a priceless treasure.

    Of course, in my opinion, the Buddha's eye is just a black ball.

    A low stool had been prepared in front of the Buddha statue. Lin Qianyi stepped on it. First, she placed the Buddha's eye on the right eye of the Buddha statue. After a few gestures, she found that the position seemed wrong, and then turned to the left eye. This time it seemed to be the right eye.  By the way, the Buddha's eye was easily placed in the hole in the left eye of the Buddha statue.

    Seeing that the Buddha¡¯s eyes and the Buddha statue were indeed matched, and they fit perfectly after being placed on them, without leaving any gaps, Manager Lei and Boss Li both grinned and beamed with joy.

    Soon, Lin Qianyi installed the right eye of the Buddha statue.

    When a pair of Buddha eyes are installed, the Buddha statue will once again reveal its true appearance to us after a hundred years.

    I looked carefully at the face of the Buddha statue, but a strange feeling emerged in my heart.

    Because when Lin Qianyi pressed the pair of Buddha eyes up, I suddenly felt that there was a vicious aura on the face of the Buddha statue.

    It¡¯s not just me, Lin Qianyi also seemed to be aware of it. She slowly stepped back from the stool, her eyes fixed on the Buddha statue, her brows still furrowed, as if she didn¡¯t understand why she felt this way.

    At this moment, the lights in the storage room suddenly flashed quickly.

    It is already late at night, and the storage room is also a secret room. The lights are flashing like this, like a ghost movie, which makes people feel scared.

    Boss Li smiled awkwardly and explained that the circuit of this library seemed to be faulty recently, and problems often occurred. He had already called people to check it several times.

    Sure enough, just after Boss Li finished speaking, the lights returned to normal.

    After Manager Lei laughed and scolded Boss Li for being stingy, he excitedly talked about this business with him.

    The two of them talked to each other in gibbering Cantonese. Although they couldn't understand what they were saying, judging from their expressions, the deal must have been finally concluded.  Because at the end, Boss Li even thanked us small characters in Mandarin with a Cantonese flavor, and asked Manager Lei to enjoy Hong Kong's nightlife with us.

    "It's a pity that Manager Lei immediately refused, because according to the plan, we have to transport the Buddha statue back tomorrow. It is already one or two o'clock in the evening. If we don't go to bed early, there will be an accident on the road tomorrow."

    After everyone pretended to be polite, Boss Li sent us out, while the Buddha statue was left where it was.

    This time we are just here to verify the authenticity of the Buddha statue, and we don¡¯t have anything with us. Therefore, we can only take the Buddha statue away tomorrow until Manager Lei finds the vehicles and tools for us to escort it.

    Manager Lei seemed to be in a hurry and had already called someone before leaving the storage room. We followed him and left the room one by one.

    However, when I walked to the door and was about to step through the vault door, I suddenly saw something incredible in the reflection on the door!

    From the reflection on the vault door, I actually saw that the Buddha statue behind us actually raised his hands!
