"Scarface, tell these people to scram. What's there to look at?"
Lin Tianhu said to the Scarface.
"Get out, all of you! There's nothing to see here. From now on, anyone who dares to force a sale will meet this end!"
The scar-faced man roared at the crowd, scaring everyone away!
"Mr. Chen, I don't know what kind of objects you like. There's nothing good here, just some cheap stuff. The really good things are inside!"
Lin Tianhu said to Chen Ping.
I want to buy a magic brush and vermilion ink, I wonder if they have them here!
Chen Ping asked Lin Tianhu.
Lin Tianhu was taken aback, not understanding what Chen Ping meant by the spiritual pen and vermilion. Wasn't vermilion everywhere?
But Lin Tianhu didn't dare to ask, he could only respectfully say: "Mr. Chen, I'll take you to some antique shops to walk around and see if there's anything you want. I don't really understand this line either!"
"Alright, lead the way!"
Chen Ping nodded!
Lin Tianhu personally led the way, and the bosses of antique shops took out their most treasured possessions, but none were chosen by Chen Ping.
"This puts Lin Tianhu in a bit of a predicament: “Mr. Chen, the antique street isn’t that big, all the good things and opportunities are here. It seems Mr. Chen hasn't found what you need. How about I have my men look elsewhere?"
"No need, this kind of thing is rare and precious. Even if we let you encounter it, you wouldn't understand it anyway!"
Chen Ping waved his hand, even if he let more people go looking, it would be useless!
"Well, then!"
Lin Tianhu nodded!
"Go ahead and busy yourself, I should be heading back!"
Since there wasn't anything, Chen Ping didn't want to stay any longer!
Just as Chen Ping was about to leave, Lin Tianhu seemed to remember something and immediately called out to Chen Ping: "Mr. Chen, wait a moment!"
"Anything else?" asked Chen Ping.
"Mr. Chen, I suddenly remembered a place, perhaps there is what you need."

”
After Lin Tianhu finished speaking, he ordered someone to drive the car and asked Chen Ping to get in.
On the car ride, Lin Tianhu introduced Chen Ping to the destination. It turned out that it was a courtyard, and its owner was Gu Wenteng, a former high-ranking official who had retired from the provincial government!
After he retired, Gu Wentian built a beautiful villa in a scenic spot in Hongcheng and spent his remaining years there peacefully.
But this Gu Went'ian has a hobby, that is collecting antiques. In Gu Went'ian's courtyard, there are antiques everywhere, some of which were brought back from abroad. The antique street pales in comparison to Gu Went'ian's mansion!
Chen Ping didn't expect that in the small city of Hongcheng, there would be such a big figure enjoying his retirement. If it wasn't for following Lao Longtou and learning skills for three years, ordinary Chen Ping wouldn't have been able to contact these big figures at all.
Soon, the car stopped at an ancient and elegant courtyard. A servant rushed over, whispered a few words to Lin Tianhu, and then ran back into the courtyard!
Soon, an old man with white hair and beard, leaning on a cane, walked out. Seeing Lin Tianhu, the old man laughed heartily and said, "Tiger Lord's visit is truly an honor!"
"Old geezer, you're too much! Just call me Xiao Hu, or Lin Tianhu. In front of you, I wouldn't dare to call myself Master!"
Lin Tianhu hurried forward two steps to greet him, saying with a fawning smile.
High-ranking officials from the provincial government, even though they have retired, still hold significant influence, so Lin Tianhu wouldn't dare to offend them!
After exchanging some pleasantries with Lin Tianhu, Gu Wentan turned his gaze to Chen Ping and inquired, "Tiger Lord, this young man looks unfamiliar. Is he…"
"Oh, this is Mr. Chen. I specially brought Mr. Chen to bother Lao Guo this time, and I hope Lao Guo won't mind!"
Lin Tianhu hurriedly explained.
Hearing Lin Tianhu address the twenty-something Chen Ping as "Mr.," a hint of surprise flashed in Gu Qitian's eyes, but it vanished just as quickly!
