Chapter 163: Chapter 163: Trapped_1

Hearing this argument, Mo Han frowned slightly. It seemed his guess was correct; his father-in-law really had gotten into trouble, and it involved a Yuan Dynasty porcelain worth over six million, not a small sum at all.

"You... you’re talking nonsense!" Luo Yuantu’s face turned red as he retorted, "That vase just fell over by itself, I just happened to be nearby!"

Mo Han said in a stern voice, "Dad, is this your first time here?"

"Of course, it is!" Luo Yuantu patted his thigh regretfully and said, "You know, my chess buddy Old Wang, I often go to their community to play chess."

"This morning, we were playing chess just fine when his son-in-law called, saying he had bought a set of calligraphy pieces at Yulin Zhai, claiming they were from the Song Dynasty, and wanted my help to take a look."

"I do browse through a variety of books and watch quite a few antique appraisal shows, so I thought I’d check them out."

"I looked at the calligraphy pieces and they were indeed nice, but probably not authentic."

"As soon as I made that comment, Old Wang’s son decided not to buy them, and afterward I thought since I was there I might as well browse around, and who would have known this would happen!"

"I suspect it’s a setup by Yulin Zhai because their business didn’t go through!"

After listening to all this, Mo Han shook his head repeatedly. Wasn’t his father-in-law simply asking for trouble?

Setting aside whether he could actually appraise treasures, even if he could, he shouldn’t have so openly made those remarks in someone else’s shop.

"Such bad luck! This is really bad luck!" Luo Yuantu sighed with a nervous tone, "Mo Han, what should we do about this?"

"All the money at home is with your mom, and besides, our family doesn’t have that much money either."

"But if I don’t come up with the money, I’ll have to go to jail. It’s so dark and damp in there, how can I, at my age and with my health, endure such hardship?"

Suddenly, his eyes shifted as he looked at his son-in-law and said, "Good son-in-law, you’re in good health and still young, how about you go to jail for me?"

"Since you’re not doing anything at home, you might as well sit in there for a few years, with food and drink provided, living comfortably..."

What the f**k!

A dark line formed on Mo Han’s forehead.

You just said jail is dark and damp, where no one would want to live, and now you’re asking me to go to jail, saying it’s a place with good food and drink.

He had originally thought his mother-in-law’s shamelessness was unmatched in the world, but it turned out his father-in-law was even more shameless.

Indeed, like father, like son-in-law—they were not from the same family for nothing.

In fact, Luo Yuantu would never say such things under normal circumstances, but now facing the possibility of jail, he couldn’t care less about propriety.

"Mr. Luo, have you decided yet? Will it be jail or compensation?"

Seeing no response from the other party, Manager Zhou walked over with a contemptuous look in his eyes.

"Manager Zhou, hello, I’m his son-in-law Mo Han. May I see the broken porcelain piece?" Mo Han was not short on money now; not only six million but even sixty million he could afford. However, he wasn’t going to pay without a good reason.

"Sure!" Manager Zhou gestured with a crafty glint in his eye.

Soon enough, a staff member came over, carrying a plate covered with a golden satin cloth, laden with shattered porcelain pieces.

Mo Han casually picked up a porcelain shard, touched it lightly, and took a close look. He immediately felt something was off.

If the porcelain had just been smashed, the broken edges should all be fresh. This shard had a mix of old and new fractures, a clear sign of tampering.

He picked up a few more pieces and found that they, too, had issues, just as he had suspected. It seemed that his father-in-law had been set up, and if he wasn’t mistaken, the one who set the trap was likely Manager Zhou himself.

"Your father-in-law here, he walks in and starts claiming that our calligraphy for sale is fake. A deal worth over three hundred thousand turned sour, not to mention he also broke a piece of our Yuan Dynasty porcelain. Does he have a grudge against Yulin Zhai?"

Manager Zhou sneered, "Considering it’s his first time and he doesn’t know the rules, I’m only asking for six million as compensation, which is quite fair already."

"Pay up!"

Sure enough, they had set a trap for my father-in-law. Mo Han narrowed his eyes, glanced at the jade stone area not too far away, and then said lightly, "Fine, I don’t lack six million. I’ll have someone bring it over later."

"Mo Han, how could you have..." Luo Yuantu was stunned, starting to speak but cut off when he saw Mo Han interrupt, "It just so happens I’m free, and I feel like dabbling in jade stones. Manager Zhou, do you mind?"

"If a friend wants to gamble on stones, of course there’s no problem," Manager Zhou said with head held high, his smile not quite reaching his eyes, "But if you’re thinking of gambling your way out of the six million with jade stones, haha..."

He didn’t finish his sentence, but the risk in the jade stone gamble was high, and a single cut could render a stone worth tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions, worthless.

The likelihood of gambling one’s way out of a six-million debt through jade stones was almost nonexistent.

"Since I can bet, that’s fantastic!" Mo Han stretched and made a phone call to Go Lao’er, "Hey, it’s me, Mo Han. Can you conveniently bring over six million in cash?"

"Convenient, definitely convenient!" Go Lao’er nodded eagerly, "Where are you now? I’ll personally deliver it to you."

"I’ll send you the location in a bit," Mo Han stated coolly before hanging up.

He Chen was now reuniting with Zhao Yumo after a long separation, and Mo Han did not want to ruin their atmosphere, which is why he asked Go Lao’er to deliver the money.

Luo Yuantu asked with some suspicion, "Mo Han, can you really come up with six million?"

In his eyes, since Mo Han couldn’t even come up with thirty thousand for his granddaughter’s surgery before, how could he possibly have six million now?

"It’s not me," Mo Han smiled, "It’s a friend of mine who’s quite wealthy. I’ll ask him to help out in this emergency."

"Dad, it will take some time for my friend to get here, so why don’t you come with me to the jade stone area?"
