Chapter 147:116, another unlocking gesture for Lin Mo’s phone, surveillance video!_1

The next day, early morning.

When Lin Mo woke up, Li Jinwen had already dressed up their daughter and set off for the wholesale market.

It wasn’t that Lin Mo got up late, but that they got up too early.

They say the early bird catches the worm at the wholesale market, the earlier you go, the more good stuff you find, and the cheaper the prices.

Anyway, women of all ages have a thing for shopping, uh…

Those who know, know.

By the time Lin Mo had finished washing up, Zhang Yihua was already waiting for him downstairs.

As Lin Mo was getting ready to leave, he remembered something.

With a different set of gestures, he unlocked his phone screen.

He immediately opened an unnamed APP with an indifferent expression.

“Hmph.”

After a brief look, he snorted coldly, locked his phone again, and then headed out toward the elevator.

Just as he reached the ground floor, he saw a white Volkswagen parked at the hotel entrance, adorned with a Hatsune Miku decal.

The nearly 1.9-meter-tall Zhang Yihua stood beside it, holding soymilk and steamed buns, and said with a simple smile, “Mr. Lin, I brought breakfast for you. 1 didn’t know what you’d like, so I just got something.”

Uh…

Dude, aren’t you being a bit too much of a straight guy?

Which investor would trust their money with you?

Just giving the investor’s daddy steamed buns and soymilk?

But then again, Lin Mo reassured himself after a second thought.

Zhang Yihua was extremely competent in his field, producing animations of high quality in both storyline and visuals.

If he were a bit smoother socially, he’d probably have made a name for himself already, and it wouldn’t have come to me investing in him, right?

It’s possible that even if 1 threw money at him, he might not even take it.

Heaven is fair; someone with too much talent in one area has to compromise in others. There are very, very few all-rounders.

Even a mathematical genius like Wei Shen, in daily life, seems a bit… not so bright.

Naturally, Lin Mo wasn’t going to be picky. He took the plastic bag with a smile, took a bite of the bun, and got into the passenger seat.

Zhang Yihua drove, and the two headed straight for the Yongshunxiang Antique Market.

Since it was still early, parking was convenient.

After parking smoothly, the two entered the market and started wandering aimlessly.

Lin Mo’s target was definitely the Jixiang House, but he couldn’t just head straight for his destination and then buy out the store’s items and reveal a true painting on the spot, could he?

Zhang Yihua might play the fool, but he wasn’t a complete fool. He’d notice something.

After strolling for a while, Zhang Yihua, feeling puzzled, asked, “Mr. Lin, I’ve thought it over carefully, and 1 don’t recall you having a hobby for antiques when we were in school, did you?”

Putting down the item in his hand back to the vendor, Lin Mo stood up, smiled, and said, “What’s your most vivid memory of college?”

“Uh… let me think…”

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Yihua said, “It must be ‘Corpse’! You must know it too, right? Also known as ‘The Chronicles of Bai Xiaofei, a Loser Youth Seeking a Girlfriend,’ and ‘Attack on Titan,’ you surely have watched it, dedicate your heart for the Captain! And, ‘My Little Sister Can’t Be This Cute’ also left quite an impression. The story was really good. Oh, and wasn’t Railgun released during our university years too? ‘If you want to fight, then clench your fists, if not, don’t stand in the way! Don’t trample on the resolve of others with such a half-hearted attitude!!!”¹

Zhang Yihua imitated Misaka Mikoto and uttered the somewhat chuunibyou-like lines.

Lin Mo shrugged and shook his head with a smile, saying, “That’s exactly my point. Your focus wasn’t on your classmates, so how could you know about their personal hobbies?”

“Actually, the lottery thing was just me spouting nonsense in our class group, just because I found them annoying. The money I invested in you came from treasure-hunting antiquities.”

Huh?

For real or for fake?

Zhang Yihua’s eyes widened in disbelief and he said, “Treasure-hunting… you can make that much money from it? Damn, no wonder Xiang Feiwen’s family can run a store here, that’s amazing!”

“It all depends on luck,” Lin Mo said, while walking and looking at the items on the stalls, also scanning the nearby shops for Jixiang House’s name. “If you’re lucky, it’s not hard to earn a couple of million in a day, or even more. Haven’t you heard those legendary stories? Like spending 3,000 to find something worth 30 million, or 500 to uncover a treasure worth 500 million.”

After a while, Lin Mo finally found the Jixiang House storefront.

From the outside, the store’s decoration seemed decent, probably about mid-level for the market.

Lin Mo first browsed in the two shops next to Jixiang House before entering Jixiang House without a hint of his intentions.

It was still morning, and there weren’t many customers inside.

The owner, who was sitting behind the counter, immediately got up with a smile and greeted them as they entered, “Welcome!”

“Good morning. Do the two bosses need some… Li Jinwen?!”

Once the shop owner got a clear look at Lin Mo and Zhang Yihua, his smile disappeared completely…

The shop owner was also in his 30s, dressed in a casual Tang suit, adorned with various accessories—bodhi seeds, jade, holding walnuts in his hand, and even a dzi bead necklace around his neck. With his lean and slender figure, he resembled a monkey.

Lin Mo looked up and realized it was none other than Xiang Feiwen, the man Zhang Yihua had mentioned the previous night, who had pursued Li Jinwen.

Lin Mo was also stunned for a moment, as he hadn’t expected such a coincidence; the shop that the system had provided information about turned out to be Xiang Feiwen’s store?

Interesting.

Zhang Yihua didn’t know about the tension between them.

If he had known, he wouldn’t have recommended Lin Mo to seek out Xiang Feiwen yesterday..
