Chapter 116: The Antique Store Saves People

Guan Hao took Zhang Yuan to the art gallery and antique shop near the Central Square!

Guan Hao started shopping on the streets one by one. There were many art shops, galleries and antique shops near the central square of City J. Guan Hao was not interested in art and galleries for the time being. He only chose antique shops, especially those with oriental collections. .

"Sister, going to antique stores is a very boring thing for you, why don't you go to the coffee shop on the corner and wait for me! I'm afraid I'll forget the time and leave you out in the cold."

"It's okay. I'm also interested in antiques. It's great to be with you!"

"Okay, let's start with this store!" Guan Hao saw that there were incense burners and thangkas in the window of this store. It was obvious that this was an antique store with oriental collections.

The store doesn't look big at first sight, but once you enter, you'll notice something else. The decoration style is more oriental. The collection inside is very miscellaneous, including curry country-style stone statues and ornaments, as well as country-C style porcelain, statues, ornaments and thangkas. Buddha statues, incense burners, ancient coins, calligraphy and paintings, and even weapons.

In short, the store is filled with all kinds of things that the owner calls antiques.

When Guan Hao went in and took a look, he lost interest. Everything here was basically fake at first glance. Most of the things were modern handicrafts. Compared with the street stalls in Jiangjiazhuang in Yanjing, everything was inferior.

Guan Hao took a look at the items in the store, but there was nothing he was interested in. He suddenly felt uninterested, so he pulled Zhang Yuan and walked outside.

After visiting three stores in this way, they were all the same. Basically, they were all handicrafts. Guan Hao was a little disappointed: "Are all the antique shops here all crafts and crafts shops?"

"All the antique shops here are like this. You have to shop slowly. There is another one ahead. Let's take a look." Zhang Yuan comforted Guan Hao and said.

Now that you're here, make peace with it!

Guan Hao took Zhang Yuan's hand and walked towards the antique store in front, when suddenly a "bang!" was heard from a gunshot.

Guan Hao didn't know the situation, so he immediately pulled Zhang Yuan and hid behind the base of street lamps on the street. These street lamps were made of ancient stones and were wide and sturdy. It was more suitable to hide behind them to deal with gunfire.

Guan Hao was very nervous at first. After all, he was just a child who was not yet eighteen years old. Although he had just experienced a thrilling robbery before coming to country a, he had no problem with his mental endurance, but in In City J in the Bay Area, a strange place where I had just established a good impression through shopping at Hao Heng Shopping Mall, my fiancée and I experienced a shooting incident very close to each other on the second day after arriving.

The goodwill that was finally accumulated was instantly wiped out.

Country A, which doesn’t control guns, really pulls out a gun whenever they disagree! It’s so dangerous!

The gunfire just now made Guan Hao a little worried and annoyed, but Zhang Yuan on the side was very calm, holding Guan Hao's hand tightly with his hand, and said softly: "Hao, don't be nervous, this is normal in country A, here We can just hide here for a while if it’s safe!”

A while passed after the gunshot, but there was no movement. Guan Hao wanted to go over and take a look, because he saw the face of a Chinese national when the gunshot sounded. Of course, it might be Xiaoli.

"Sister, can you just stay here? I'll go over and take a look and come back!"

"Hao, don't go, leave these things to the police! Let's go home now!"

"It's okay, I'm just taking a look, you wait for me!" Guan Hao walked slowly towards the antique shop not far away without hesitation.

I slowly leaned against the wall and looked through the glass window. I saw that the antique store was in a mess. The floor was full of antiques scattered on the ground. There were constant screams in the antique store. Looking out the window, I saw what had just happened. There was a fight and someone was injured.

After careful observation, Guan Hao found that no one appeared with a gun, which meant that the gunman had left, so he quickly opened the door and came in. As soon as he entered the store, he found two people lying on the ground. A white woman was covered in blood. There were screams on the ground, and there was also a young man of Y origin lying on the ground holding his legs. The man's legs and the ground were all covered in blood. The man did not howl or scream like the white ninja woman, but It can be seen from his painful expression that the injuries he suffered caused him great pain.

For safety reasons, Guan Hao hid under the window and said in slang: "Is there anyone there? Is it safe?"

"Oh, someone was injured. The robbers have run away. They are safe now." The Y-American man answered.

"Sir, are you from China?" Guan Hao asked directly in Chinese.

"I am from China C and work in this store. A robber just took away all the money in the store with a gun and injured me and the clerk."

When Guan Hao heard that he was a compatriot, he opened the door directly and came in.

"Is the injury serious? I'll take you to the hospital first."

"Hello, my name is Wu Wanli, I am the consultant of this store and an international student."

"Hello, I'm Guan Hao. I just arrived in city J from China."

"I've already called the police and an ambulance. It's Christmas today, and the damn police and doctors in City J are on vacation. It's probably going to take a long time for them to arrive. Poor Kate is so seriously injured now."

"I'll call for help right away!"

Guan Hao immediately contacted Zhang Yuan and his bodyguards, and soon Zhang Yuan brought a middle-aged man with an Asian face to the antique store where Guan Hao was.

"Sister Yuan, there is a lady here who has suffered a serious gunshot wound. She needs to go to the hospital immediately. Let her family's car take her to the hospital for rescue. I see she has lost too much blood and is almost unconscious!"

As soon as Zhang Yuan heard this, he immediately arranged for bodyguards to drive over and take the white woman to the hospital for emergency treatment.

"Mr. Wu, your injury is okay, right?" Guan Hao sent the injured white man to the car before he remembered that Wu Wanli was also injured.

"I just have a skin injury, nothing serious. There is a medical kit in the store. Just bandage it and it will be fine! I can't leave. The police will come over later to learn about the situation."

"Mr. Wu, is the public security in City J very bad? There are armed robberies in broad daylight."

"This is what Country A is really like. Before Christmas, there were police patrols in the streets here, and the security was pretty good. After all, this is Country A's world-renowned commercial center. If the security is too bad, no tourists would dare to come!"

"Where is the medical kit? You are still bleeding, let me bandage it for you!"

"It's behind the cashier, look for it!"

He had learned bandaging at the diving school, so Guan Hao quickly bandaged Wu Wanli's wound, and the three of them sat in the shop waiting for the police uncle from City J to arrive.

"Xiaoguan, I really want to thank you today. If I hadn't come in, Kate would have been in danger!"

"Brother Wu, I also saw it when I was passing by. It's just a trivial matter and it's not worth mentioning! Helping others is our traditional virtue in country C."

"It's great that Xiaoguan has such a demeanor at such a young age! If you don't mind it, let's make friends!"

"Okay, Brother Wu is older than me, I will call you brother from now on! You can also call me Hao Zai with everyone else!"

"Okay, I see that I am a person who will do great things. From now on, I will ask you to give birth to me. Who is this?"

"Zhang Yuan, my girlfriend!"

"Sister Yuan, call Angkor!"

"Angkor, nice to meet you!"

"Brother, you are so talented and beautiful!"

The three of them chatted together for a long time, talking about Wu Wanli's situation in country a these years. As a top student at the highest art institution in the country, he went to country a to study in the 1980s and studied art history to get a doctorate, and then stayed there.

Country A conducts appraisal of each other's artworks and serves as consultants for major institutions and individuals.

In recent years, the price of Oriental art has been declining, and there has been little business. This time I came to this antique shop in City J to be a consultant because the owner of this antique shop is his regular customer. In addition, all foreigners are going on vacation for Christmas, so there is no

People were willing to go to the store to guard the store, and the appearance fee on Christmas Day was three times the usual amount. Wu Wanli deigned to work as a consultant in this store on Christmas Day. Unexpectedly, his luck was really bad, and he was robbed and injured the next day.

"Angkor, we visited several antique shops around here. They were all handicrafts, but there was nothing of any quality at all. Are all these old and beautiful antique shops fooling people like this?"

"Haha, brother! Are you an outsider? Basically, the antique shops in country A don't have good products. You need to understand them deeply before you can get good things."

"So that's it! It seems that foreigners are like our country C antique shops: the things in ordinary antique shops are either real or fake. The first thing you look at reveals your level of vision and also lets the boss know.

What level are you at? Of course, this is only for laymen. For experts, the boss is sometimes willing to take out the really good things from the safe and the room inside and share them with people who know the knowledge.

communicative."

"That's right, take this store as an example. The owner is an expert in country C. There are several antique stores in country A, specializing in oriental art. Do you know what the characteristics of this store are?"

"Brother, stop being so pretentious and just say it!"

“The specialty of this store is various c-country inscriptions.”

"Inscribed on the inscription? Does the owner of this shop have a name from country C? An..." Guan Hao couldn't remember the name for a while.

"Yes, the boss's name is An Luyao, brother, do you know him?"

"Oh, our family has an antique shop in Mingzhu. I heard from my elders about this boss An. Brother, please show me the inscription on this shop's inscription! Do you have anything worth selling?"

"Brother, I'm afraid it won't work today. It will be very late when the police come to check on the situation. How about you come over tomorrow morning and I can show you all the treasures in the store?"

"Okay, then I'll come over tomorrow!"

Guan Hao and Wu Wanli became more and more interested in each other as they chatted, and they felt as if they had met each other too late. Zhang Yuan on the side did not say a word, just silently listening to the two chatting, like an obedient little daughter-in-law.

I don’t know how much time passed before the police uncle from country A arrived belatedly.

When two armed policemen pushed open the door and saw Guan Hao, Wu Wanli and Zhang Yuan in the house, they were very surprised. The two policemen immediately raised their guns, aimed at the three of them, and shouted: "
