105: Oh no, the two girls are about to bump into each other!
Chen Kai paused, lost in thought.
There was quite a lot of information to be gleaned from their conversation. If this aging gang had only ever made yuan shikai silver dollars before, they had never made xianfeng treasure coins.
The first xianfeng treasure coin they made was sold to the Da Sanjiang antique shop, and the results were quite good—no one noticed, so they cast another batch of aged xianfeng treasure coins.
Before they could trade with the buyer, they fell into the river.
Now they were in his hands, and what they had made was actually the third batch, which Hat Uncle would come to seize in a moment.
Did that also mean... the one hundred xianfeng treasure coins in his hands had become half-genuine and half-fake? After all, since there were none circulating in the market, there were only his one hundred xianfeng treasure coins.
Hat Uncle wouldn't issue a public announcement, and since they hadn't sold them yet, it was equivalent to saying that, except for the one at Da Sanjiang, the one hundred in his hands could still be sold if taken out!
Other Antique Trade shops hadn't seen this type, and they wouldn't be able to distinguish them either.
"Forget it, I'll just keep them. Just in case I find a use for them later."
Chen Kai shook his head and continued to tiptoe toward the building of the Abandoned Steel Plant.
There was a crack in the door of the steel plant building. Chen Kai leaned his back against the wall by the door and used his phone camera to peek inside at the situation.
Through the lens, he clearly saw two people surrounding a stamping machine with a pile of xianfeng treasure coins beside them. One person was squatting on the ground, using the various materials laid out there to age them.
Chen Kai's heart rate couldn't help but accelerate; he could even hear the sound of his own heartbeat in his chest.
He had never done anything this exciting; it was just like going undercover.
After recording for a minute, Chen Kai withdrew his phone from the crack in the door. He checked the footage on silent mode and could clearly see the three processes: minting the coins, cooling them in water, and aging them.
"It's in the bag."
Chen Kai muttered softly, tiptoeing as quietly as possible toward the large iron gate.
The journey was full of close calls but he made it out safely. After slipping out of the large iron gate, Chen Kai felt as if his heart was about to jump out of his chest.
Fortunately, the three people didn't discover him. He immediately got on his Electric Scooter, twisted the throttle, and zoomed away.
He drove all the way to the entrance of the nearest police station before he finally felt at ease. He drove directly into the station and hurried to the duty room.
Panting heavily, he took out his phone and placed it on the desk in front of Hat Uncle.
"I want to report... huff... huff... there's a counterfeit coin production gang from a wanted poster at the Abandoned Steel Plant nearby, and they are currently making counterfeit coins."
"What?"
The Hat Uncle, who looked to be in his forties or fifties, immediately picked up his phone and took a quick look.
"Holy crap... this...! Young comrade! Keep this video safe. This is the counterfeit coin gang we've been searching for across cities. You've really done us a huge favor!"
Hat Uncle immediately stood up, hurriedly calling for backup over the walkie-talkie. He ran out of the police station impatiently, then looked back at him.
"Just wait here for me. When we get back, remember to send me a copy of the video, and you'll also get the reward money."
Chen Kai nodded obediently and sat down casually in the police station's reception area, watching over a dozen Hat Uncles get fully geared up and board the police cars with various equipment.
His eyes were filled with a longing for a Third-Class Merit.
After sitting for a long time, his phone suddenly rang.
"Huh? Why is it Liu Yunshang?"
He opened WeChat and took a quick look.
[Liu Yunshang: I've finished buying the things for your aunt and uncle. Um... the things are already at my place. When are you going back? Don't forget to come by my place to pick up the gifts for your aunt and uncle.]
Chen Kai was stunned. Why did she put them at her place? If he brought Tang Yunshu over... wouldn't that just set the stage for a Shura Field?
"How about... I just go pick them up later? Put them in my house so I can take them directly when I go back."
[Liu Yunshang: No, just leave them at my place. And by the way... when you go back, take me with you. Your relatives will definitely urge you to find a partner. To keep my little brother from being nagged, your sister has pushed back a few days of work to accompany you back~]
Chen Kai paused again. "Oh no."
"The two of them are going to run into each other."
"Why does whatever I fear always happen? This is total bull."
Chen Kai struggled internally for a long time. He could hide it for a day, but not forever. Making him choose one was impossible; he wanted them all.
He might as well just come clean; a slow death is more painful.
He tapped on the screen with both hands: "Sister... there's another girl coming back with me. Do... do you still want to come back with me?"
[Liu Yunshang: Mmh, I know.]
Chen Kai was just about to explain, but was left speechless by that simple "I know."
"You... what do you know? Don't you have anything to say? Do you really still want to come back with me?"
[Liu Yunshang: Hmm? Why wouldn't I accompany you?]
[What do you want me to say? Can I just say I love you? Are you asking about my attitude toward this matter?]
[I already knew about that girl's existence when you came to my place last time. Have you seen your sister blame you? Your sister likes you for who you are, and I know your capabilities. Look at those big shots with outstanding abilities—which one of them doesn't have multiple wives and concubines? It's only abnormal to have just one.]
[But... don't go too crazy. Your sister wants you to spend more time with me. If you have too many wives and concubines, the time you spend with me will decrease, and I don't want you to have no time for me.]
Chen Kai looked at the messages she sent within just two minutes and couldn't react for a moment.
She knew about Tang Yunshu's existence? And she discovered it the day before yesterday?
Then why didn't she show any signs of it? Not only did she not oppose it, but she could even understand him?
This... she really is his good sister.
"Sister, how did you know about her?"
[It's so simple. You smell like her.]
[If she is a smart person... she must also know of my existence, and she hasn't exposed you either. Little brother can rest easy.]
Chen Kai was stunned again. Liu Yunshang was a bit too smart!
Identifying people by their scent?
"Hehe... then, then the three of us will go back together the day after tomorrow."
[Liu Yunshang: Alright~ I just don't know if that little sister is pretty or not. Little brother's taste shouldn't be too bad.]
[I will try my best to get along with her like real sisters, so little brother doesn't have to worry.]
After the chat ended, Chen Kai still hadn't fully recovered. This woman was just too good.
Understanding him, supporting him.
According to what Liu Yunshang said, Tang Yunshu must absolutely be a smart person too.
Then had Tang Yunshu also sensed Liu Yunshang's existence?
No wonder she acted so clingy at the hotel last time, as if she had no sense of security.
Chen Kai scratched his head. He had to come clean to Tang Yunshu tomorrow as well, just in case she hadn't noticed.
Just then, several police cars pulled up to the entrance of the police station, and three people with black hoods over their heads were led out of the cars by Hat Uncle.
