At this time, the door of the villa opened, and a blond and blue-eyed British butler walked out.

"Are you Ricky?"

"Yes, it's me!"

"Miss Karen, there is still some things to do. She asked me to take you in to wait for her."

"All right!"

Chen Rui nodded, and then followed the housekeeper into the mansion.

Entering the mansion, he could clearly feel that the owner of this house had an extraordinary background.

This villa does not use American decoration style.

Instead, it adopts a modern decoration method, and the walls are painted with red latex paint.

The floor is paved with marble tiles, which looks much more comfortable.

Along the way, He could see hundreds of oil paintings of various sizes hanging on the walls.

Most of the oil paintings among them are shining with this intense white light.

Some even emit a soft yellow light.

Seeing this scene, Chen Rui was quite surprised.

This shows that these oil paintings are, at best, the works of some well-known modern painters.

As for those that emit yellow light, they are all antiques, and they are also works by famous artists.

According to his experience, the valuation of those paintings is at least one million levels.

But such a precious word was hanging in the corridor like this.

What kind of family is this?

Before he could figure it out, the housekeeper had already led him to a living room.

"Miss Karen, there is still some work to be finished, so just wait for her here!"

"OK."

Chen Rui was not polite, he went directly to the sofa, put down the box, and sat down.

The housekeeper turned around and went out. Chen Rui raised his eyes and started looking around.

This didn't matter, but it shocked him.

Because the walls in this room are covered with various oil paintings.

Some emit red light, and some emit yellow light, even if he has little experience in Western oil painting.

But it can also be seen that these oil paintings must have extraordinary origins.

The paintings in this entire hall alone are worth tens of millions.

Not to mention the furnishings in the room, such as the pair of lamps on the executive desk in front.

Judging from the style, it is an old item, and it emits a strong white light, so it is definitely not cheap.

There is also a crystal wine set on the other side...

Lin Lin finally came down and saw only the paintings and ornaments in this room.

Chen Rui estimated that it could be worth twenty to thirty million.

Let me ask you, who is the owner of this house?

So arrogant?

Twenty to thirty million treasures are just placed outside so casually.

Chen Rui felt a little confused. He knew that there were many old money families on the east coast of the United States.

Think about it, this is East Hampton, the back garden of Wall Street tycoons.

He wondered whether this mansion was the private residence of an old money family?

While I was thinking about it, a person suddenly came in at the door of the living room.

This man was tall and thin, wearing a hunting suit and a peaked cap on his head.

There is also an open double-barreled hunting rifle hanging in the hollow of his hand.

The man was stunned when he saw Chen Rui, and then asked: "Who are you?"

"Hello, I'm Ricky. I'm Karen's friend. I picked her up to spend the weekend in the city."

The man suddenly realized: "So you are Karen's friend!"

"It's all my fault that I forgot about this."

While talking, I pressed the button of the Yin Kingdom butler, who happened to walk in with a pot of coffee.

Seeing this person, I was also stunned.

"Mr. Lehman, when did you come back?"

"Ha, don't mention it. I originally made an appointment with White to go duck hunting, but just after a few shots, it started raining over there."

"I just got home too."

From the way the housekeeper talked to this man, Chen Rui guessed that this man must be the owner of the mansion.

Sure enough, the butler quickly put down the coffee in his hand and came to Lehman.

He reached out and took the man's shotgun and coat, and handed him a towel.

The man wiped his face, then came and sat down in front of Chen Rui.

"Young man, where are you from? What is this?"

This Lehman seemed to be very talkative and asked when he came up.

Chen Rui smiled: "I just came from Los Angeles. Well... I just received some gadgets in Manhattan."

"I heard Karen mention you. I heard that you are very discerning in antique appraisal."

"The gadgets in this box must be quite simple! Can you show them to me?"

"You should be able to tell that I am also an absolute antique lover."

This Lehman was very informal and spoke straight to the point as soon as he came up.

And judging from his appearance, he seemed to be really curious about what was in this box.

Chen Rui didn't think much, just picked up the box, put it on the coffee table in front of him, and opened it.

Lehman glanced into the box and was immediately attracted by the objects inside.

"Wow! Where did this thing come from?"

This guy caught his eye at the tank cup inside, and then made a gesture.

Chen Rui indicated that he could pick it up and see for himself.

Lehman immediately took the tank cup in his hand, started playing with it, and inspected it.

After a while, I opened the lid and looked inside the tank cup.

After a while, he closed the lid again and began to examine the pattern on the cup.

After a while, this guy's breathing started to become rapid.

Chen Rui looked at his red face and felt a sudden change in his heart.

Could it be that this guy discovered something?

"Ricky, where did you get this cup? How much did it cost?"

"Well, it was collected from a traveling vendor just outside Chelsea Market."

"It cost three thousand dollars!"

Chen Rui felt that there was nothing to hide, so he simply left it alone.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the quotation was exported, Lehman on the opposite side was stunned.

He looked at Chen Rui with astonishment on his face, and then at the cup in his hand.

"Wow! Karen said before that you were very discerning and lucky, but I still didn't believe it."

"I can't help but believe it today!"

Chen Rui also gradually became excited: "Why, does this tank cup have an extraordinary origin?"

Lehman smiled slightly: "That's not all! This can be regarded as a cultural relic."

"Then can you tell me what it comes from?"

When Lei Man heard what Chen Rui said, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Don't you know?"

"Ha, I just thought the cup was very beautiful, and the silver tea set was indeed from the Victorian era."

"So I bought it. As for the origin of this cup, I haven't had time to check it yet."

After hearing this, Lehman couldn't help but nodded.

"Okay, it seems you really don't understand."

"Then let me tell you, this tank cup should belong to Sir Francis Drake!"

Chen Rui was also shocked after hearing this: "The prototype of Captain Jack?"

If it is true, then this time it is really a big mistake.
