Chapter 1974: Come to question the crime
"Let Zhang Yanbin come out quickly! Hurry!" Seeing that the other party was unmoved, Ma Zhen emphasized.
Everyone looked at each other, and no one moved.
But just as they were in a stalemate, a tall, thin man in a suit appeared in the crowd. When the others saw him, they all made way for him.
Lin Ran squinted and recognized the man in front of him, the stall owner he saw in the ghost market.
"Boss Ma?" The other party actually knew Ma Zhen.
Then he glanced at Lin Ran and Guan Yun. Perhaps because it was getting dark, he didn't recognize Lin Ran, so he asked doubtfully: "Who are these two?"
"I'm Lin Ran. I'm here to get my things back." Without waiting for Ma Zhen's introduction, Lin Ran answered first, "I'm here to discuss something with you."
"Discuss something?" Hearing Lin Ran's answer, the tall and thin man's mouth twitched slightly, and his voice sounded familiar. He glanced at Lin Ran again and confirmed the other party's identity.
He asked his men to put away their weapons, hooked his fingers, and led Lin Ran and the others into the abandoned factory.
Ma Zhen walked in front of the team. Under Ma Zhen's leadership, Lin Ran stood in the middle, and Guan Yun stared at each other warily from behind, fearing that they would suddenly attack.
Fortunately, the other party did not do anything inappropriate.
Although it is an abandoned factory, it seems to have been carefully taken care of by them, making it very spacious and dry.
After arriving at the factory, Lin Ran saw many people standing around on the second floor.
There were many people gathered inside, and the scene was very grand.
"Boss Ma, come here." After Lin Ran and his group entered the hall, the tall and thin man waved to a few people and motioned for them to follow.
Ma Zhen nodded and led Lin Ran to the front of them.
"This brother bought blue and white porcelain yesterday, right? I don't know what to call him?" The tall and thin man took out a cigarette and handed it to Lin Ran, but Lin Ran refused directly.
No one else took his cigarette, and the situation was a bit awkward, so he lit the cigarette himself.
Seeing Guan Yun's alert look, he smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, we are all brothers."
My brother?
Guan Yun couldn't help but roll his eyes. Yesterday, the two sides almost had a shopping spree in Panjiayuan. Now he is being polite.
Before Lin Ran could speak, the tall and thin man introduced himself: "My name is Zhang Yanbin. We usually set up street stalls in places like Panjiayuan and Liulichang. What happened last night? ”
Seeing Zhang Yanbin being so polite, both Lin Ran and Guan Yun felt a little surprised.
Ma Zhen seems to have a deeper relationship than they thought.
Even the seemingly inconspicuous stall owners in the ghost market actually wanted to give him face.
And according to Liu Jingfeng's investigation, this is still a huge organization.
However, Lin Ran did not relax his vigilance.
It can be felt that Zhang Yanbin is not a character that is easy to mess with.
He looked at the other person calmly without answering, waiting for his next move.
"Actually, I'm very sorry for what happened last night. They took action without asking me, causing you trouble." Zhang Yanbin's tone was full of apology.
But Lin Ran didn't trust him. If Ma Zhen hadn't led them to the door, it wouldn't have been so smooth.
"I'm here to get my things back, let's talk about other things." Lin Ran explained his purpose.
The primary purpose of coming today is to retrieve his cultural relics.
Lin Ran didn't want to get involved with the organization in front of him.
"Okay." Zhang Yanbin nodded and motioned to his men to take out the things they grabbed yesterday.
The subordinate hesitated for a moment, until Zhang Yanbin stared coldly at him, then walked to the room behind him and took out two bags.
Lin Ran took it and saw that it was the blue and white ceramic tiles and Hongxian porcelain vase that he bought yesterday.
After confirming that you have not been transferred, you can relax.
In the bag of the vase, there was Lin Ran's wallet. When he opened it, he found that there was no shortage of money and documents inside, but there were obvious signs of being turned over.
Lin Ran was right to worry. There was his business card inside, which contained the address and phone number of the Shengshi antique store.
Moreover, he also has a certificate issued to him by the Ministry of Culture and Culture.
In this case, the person in front of me should know his identity.
After seeing Lin Ran nod, Zhang Yanbin smiled and faced him, still apologizing.
He knew that Lin Ran's power in the local area was extraordinary, and he was a little surprised when he saw that Lin Ran had invited Ma Zhen.
I had to think highly of Lin Ran, and refreshed my understanding again and again.
Because of what the other party did, Lin Ran did not accept his apology. Instead, his heart was filled with anger.
Lin Ran didn't answer. Seeing Zhang Yanbin reach out, he just touched the other person with his hand without any expression.
"Brother Lin, it's our fault this time, especially Liu Zhou. He actually put his ideas on Brother Lin. It's my fault for my poor management. Please forgive me."
Although he had said both good and bad things, Lin Ran remained unmoved.
Zhang Yanbin felt a chill in his heart when he saw Ma Zhen staring at him.
The Ministry of Chinese Language and Culture actually doesn't care. If Ma Zhen is offended, things will be different.
In desperation, he could only resort to his last resort.
"Brother Lin, until you are very angry, no one can forgive you easily."
"I have thought of two compensation plans. I wonder if Brother Lin would like to consider them?"
"The first option, Brother Lin, you can choose any two items from our products as compensation. If that doesn't work, three items are fine."
"The second option is that we compensate Brother Lin 500 yuan. I don't know which method Brother Lin wants?"
The other tomb robbers were shocked.
Not only did his boss not show dissatisfaction because of Lin Ran's contemptuous attitude, he actually proposed a compensation plan.
They are tomb robbers who do all kinds of evil!
Everyone is filled with doubts.
Especially some people saw Lin Ran's business card.
He is from the Ministry of Education, and in a sense his mortal enemy.
Lin Ran had no interest in his proposal for compensation.
"I don't want any compensation from you, but I also know your reputation in the industry." Lin Ran glanced around coldly, "I only have one request, you are not allowed to cause trouble for me and my family!"
The purpose of Lin Ran's coming here was to resolve the trouble once and for all, and he made his purpose clear.
After hearing this, Zhang Yanbin smiled awkwardly, then patted his chest and promised: "I, Zhang Yanbin, will use this hand as a guarantee that I will never let them cause trouble for you and your family again."
The audience was silent until Ma Zhen shouted in a deep voice: "You said this yourself."
"Of course." Zhang Yanbin felt a chill on his neck, but fortunately he didn't make a bigger bet.
"Brother Lin, what do you think?" Ma Zhen looked back at Lin Ran.
Lin Ran had given up on compensation. In fact, the only thing he was worried about was that these tomb robbers would go back on their word.
But seeing Ma Zhen's attitude, he didn't seem to take them seriously.
"It's okay, let's go back."
