Chapter 42 Can you be my master?

“I... I...” Xiaorou Xu bit her lips, “Could you please be my master?” Hearing Kris Chen say this, these antique shop owners all began to hesitate. What Kris said seemed to be reasonable, making them wonder whether the Phoenix Blood Jade was real or not. Had they all misjudged? They looked at each other, and they all saw doubt in each other’s eyes. Phoenix Blood Jade, as a rare treasure, they had read about it, but they had never seen it, which meant that they probably misjudged. Xiaorou bit her lips, looking at Kris, unable to say how shocked she was. Wasn’t he Su family’s ignorant son-in-law? How did he know all this? Although she knew this, it’s not as thorough or detailed as he said, as if he had actually met the real Phoenix Blood Jade. At this moment, she also hesitated. Did herself misjudge too? Seeing the crowd began to hesitate, Zhengjiang Fang was also anxious, he flushed and said angrily, “My jade is real! I got it from my grandfather. If you think this jade was fake, prove it.” What he said made sense. Convincing evidence was better than say anything. Everyone focused on Kris, especially Xiaorou, who was looking at him with hope. If Kris could prove it, then she did misjudge. Misjudging was not a big deal, but not realizing where you were wrong mattered, which was fatal to an appraiser. There were many people coming with their treasures to beg her to appraise them. If she misjudged, not only would the treasure collector lose their treasures, but Xu family’s reputation that had accumulated over generations would also be ruined, which was a disaster. “You want me to prove, right?” Kris smiled and said, “This is even simpler, for what I just said is all evidence. If you don’t believe me, use a magnifying glass. The dots in there are impurities! How could a real Phoenix Blood Jade contain impurities?” As soon as Kris finished, Jun Yang, the store’s manager, brought a magnifying glass that specialized in identifying antiques. “Fuck, impurities!” Jun shouted out after checking it. The other owners quickly gathered around! “Shit, it’s really fake!” Boss Liu changed his expressions. He didn’t expect to be cheated. What a shame! At this time, Xiaorou also walked over. She came closer to take a look, which was indeed as Kris had said. The dots in the chalcedony were not presented under the bright light, but were within itself. “You... You...” Now it was proved. Zhengjiang flushed, pointing at Kris, unable to say a single word! He fiercely scrambled the jade from Jun and said with a reddened face, “You don’t know what you’re doing. I’m not selling this jade to you.” Putting the jade into the box, he made a wink towards De Qiu and was about to leave. “Escape?” “Stop them.” Those bosses rushed over to block the way and the shop assistants, hearing the noise, rushed over. Several people then pushed the two men down on the ground and tied their hands and feet with ropes. Just at this time, there was an alarm sound outside. Kris looked towards the door and it was Lan Yu. Lan looked at the two people who were tied and said to the police officer, “Bring them both back.” “Eh, Madam Lan, I’m familiar with these two people.” A police officer Lan said, “I’ve seen them before.” “Really?” Lan said, “Take a picture of them and send it back to the bureau. Let someone have a check.” When the police officer received the order, he took pictures and in a short time, he got the feedback. “Madam Lan, the two are wanted criminals. One is Xiaoqiang Fang and the other is De Qiu. A year ago, they were wanted in Southeast City for an antique scam.” Then the officer gave the phone to Lan. “Cuff them and take them back to the station for strict interrogation. They must still be running the scam in this year.” Lan said seriously. “Yes!” De and Xiaoqiang were suddenly hopeless. It was all over. “Kris, this time you did a good job.” Lan walked to Kris and said, “The Public Security Bureau of Southeast City has a reward of 100,000 for the two of them. When I go back, I’ll definitely get the reward for you!” Kris was really her lucky star, for he first rescued hostages and then detected the scam and apprehended the wanted criminals. This was a real achievement. … Kris nodded, ignoring what she said. 100,000 meant nothing at all, “These are the responsibilities of citizens. If it wasn’t for Officer Yu’s timely arrival, I’m afraid the two would have run away.” What he said made Lan feel shy. When she came the people had already been caught, Kris obviously gave all the credit to her. She would be grateful for all this. “I’m leaving first, call me if you need.” After saying that, Lan looked at Kris and turned around to leave. “Interesting. She may thank me back later.” Kris laughed. He felt Lan was a bit interesting. Two antique crooks were caught, but antique shop owners couldn’t hold back their feelings. As professional treasure appraisers, they had all been cheated, which was a shame for them, indelibly. “Mr. Chen, thank you so much.” “Yeah, we all misjudged and we almost fell for the scammer.” “If others know this, we will definitely be teased.” “What a shame. Thank you, Mr. Chen.” Saying that, these owners bowed towards Kris to show their gratitude. “Mr. Chen, from now on, you’ll get a 10% discount on all purchases.” “Come to our shop, 15% discount.” “Come to my shop, 20% off...” After these owners left, Xiaorou bit her lips and walked to Kris. “Kris, thank you.” She blushed and said, “If it wasn’t you, I would have fallen for the scam.” “Don’t be.” Kris smiled, “Those closely involved cannot see clearly. I think even if I didn’t say anything, you would soon find it.” Kris’ words made Xiaorou feel ashamed, but at the same time, this made her completely change her opinion of Kris. The gossip about Kris, like ignorant, lazy and poor son-in-law… Now she didn’t believe what she had heard. She looked at him for a while and suddenly said, “Kris, Can I ask you for one thing?” “What?” Kris looked at her with some doubts, “Tell me and see if I can help you.” "Can you be my master?" Xiaorou looked at him with sincerity.
