Chapter 857: Theft turns into robbery
These businessmen did not show too many emotional fluctuations, it seemed to them that it was commonplace.
Gray treated everyone to Western food, and everyone used their own knives and forks. It was obvious that he was a bit of a germaphobe.
Before he was about to use the knife and fork, Lin Ran noticed something.
The master chef brought by Boss Ma is not on the table!
Where did he go?
Lin Ran told Zheng Xueming his discovery. Zheng Xueming understood and asked, "Brother Ma, where is the treasure appraiser you brought?"
"He's feeling a little unwell and left just now." Boss Ma smiled, "I already told Lao Ge that I forgot to ask for leave from Lao Zheng. Please forgive me."
As he spoke, he raised his red wine glass to Zheng Xueming.
Lin Ran felt that things were not that simple. Although he did not know the treasure appraiser, he felt familiar at first sight.
And his sharp eyes.
He is definitely not a scholar who makes a living by appraising treasures. He has a ruthless spirit in him. He has lived in two lifetimes. Lin Ran believes that he will never be wrong.
Could it be that his purpose is also to rap about pottery figurines?
Lin Ran suddenly had a bad thought in his heart, and he wanted to find an excuse to leave.
Zheng Xueming understood and suddenly said seriously: "Master Xiang, there is still a batch of goods in the store that I haven't had time to appraise. They were ordered by President Yuan to buy. I think this is none of your business. Why don't you go back first?"
"Okay." Lin Ran stood up immediately and was about to find an excuse to leave.
Gray was too lazy to keep these unknown people, so he said to the butler on the side: "Send Mr. Xiang to the door."
"Yes." The butler bowed slightly and made a gesture of invitation to Lin Ran. Then they closed the door and started enjoying the food.
He left the restaurant with his bag on his back and was escorted out of the door by the butler, who then slammed the door shut.
But Lin Ran did not leave the courtyard, but instead watched the villa in the courtyard.
He walked around to the back of the villa, and if anyone asked, he said he wanted to see the structure of the house.
But when I got to the back, I noticed something strange.
Because there are faint footprints on the snow-white wall.
Looking up along the footprints, the window above is open.
"There is a thief." Lin Ran reacted immediately, and judging from the fact that this man must be very agile, the footprints left on the wall were very light and could not be seen without looking carefully.
Lin Ran smiled knowingly, and there was indeed something wrong with the master that Boss Ma brought.
He was not as skilled as the other party, so he found a tree to hide behind and waited silently.
After about 5 minutes of walking, a figure climbed down from the stairs carrying a bag and landed on the grass lightly without making any sound.
His face was masked, but it could be seen from his back that it was the person brought by Boss Ma.
Judging from the size of the backpack, it should contain rap pottery figurines.
The man looked around and didn't notice Lin Ran behind the tree, so he quickly left the yard with his bag on his back.
After all, Lin Ran was still wearing makeup, so he followed him directly, keeping a distance of ten meters.
The man seemed to be alert and quickened his pace, seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the gate of the community.
Lin Ran estimated the gap between them. He shouldn't be able to handle him alone.
Just as he was frowning, a familiar figure appeared at the door of the community.
It turned out that Yang Jianlong was worried about him and had been waiting at the gate of the community.
The thief lowered his head, pulled his collar higher, and walked quickly towards the gate of the community.
The man in the reception room was sitting in the rocking chair at the door and fell asleep unconsciously.
Yang Jianlong was waiting to meet Lin Ran, but he saw a sneaky figure coming out.
He saw the man's bag and thought to himself: "If my godfather wants to get a pottery figurine, it should be this size."
Suddenly, he heard Lin Ran's shout from inside the community.
"Jianlong, catch him quickly, he is a thief!"
When the man heard Lin Ran's cry, he panicked and sped up to run away.
But Yang Jianlong was at the gate, blocking his way.
"Get out of my way." The man shouted in a deep voice.
"I really don't take the bull by the horns." Yang Jianlong grabbed his arm and said, "What did you steal?"
"roll!"
Yang Jianlong dodged back violently, because the thief took out a dagger unprepared and almost cut Yang Jianlong's throat.
Fortunately, he had been in many fights before and could have saved himself.
Because Yang Jianlong let go of his hand, he found the opportunity and wanted to escape.
But Yang Jianlong still grabbed the backpack, and then the two of them started fighting with the backpack.
Yang Jianlong was a little worried at first, but he gradually realized that the contents of the backpack seemed very important, and he did not dare to scratch the backpack with a knife.
He confidently held his backpack and kept a certain distance from him.
Lin Ran finally caught up, took a bamboo stick from the security guard, and shouted from the side: "Let him go!"
The thief didn't say anything, he just wanted to steal the backpack.
The two sides were in a stalemate, and the gatekeeper was also alarmed by the quarrel and was stunned. His first reaction was to quickly close the door.
But at this moment, only a sharp braking sound was heard, and a Santana car braked forcefully, leaving a skid mark.
The two people who were grabbing the bag, out of survival instinct, let go of the bag at the same time.
With a "bang", the bag fell heavily to the ground.
When Lin Ran saw this, he immediately rushed forward and pulled the bag behind him and Yang Jianlong to protect them.
A young man got out of the Santana car and cursed loudly at the three of them: "You are all tired of living, aren't you? And you, old man, why did you close the door? How do you let me in?"
This arrogant and domineering voice could be someone other than Ge Zhenliang.
Yang Jianlong and Ge Zhenliang had met several times. When they saw it was Yang Jianlong, Ge Zhenliang didn't react much. He just asked, "Is it you? Why did you come to fight in front of my house?"
Yang Jianlong reacted immediately, pointed at the guy wearing the mask and shouted: "That guy is a thief."
"Yes, what he stole was yours." Lin Ran said, then realized that he forgot to use a falsetto and quickly shut up.
The thief couldn't take the thing away after seeing it, and now he just wanted to flee the scene quickly.
But Ge Zhenliang usually didn't do his job properly, and he was also a top-notch fighter. He quickly caught up with him, flew up from behind and kicked him.
The thief was pinned down by him. Ge Zhenliang sneered: "Are you tired of coming to my house to steal things?"
He wanted to hit the thief in the face with his fist.
"Be careful." Yang Jianlong knew that this guy had a dagger and hurried forward to help.
Fortunately, he warned him in time. If he had been a step too late, Ge Zhenliang's neck would have been scratched by him.
This guy's moves are killing moves and he looks very ruthless.
The moment Ge Zhenliang ducked back, the thief exerted all his strength, pushed Ge Zhenliang to the ground, and stabbed him in the face with a dagger.
