Chapter 18 Brother's Betrayal

Li Houxiong's brother is an ordinary company employee. With his salary level, it is impossible for him to provide such a large house.Li Houxiong changed the house for his brother's family because he usually took care of his parents.

One change is a big villa.

Even the parents from their hometown moved here, and the family enjoyed themselves on weekdays, gathering in the courtyard of the villa.

But after the accident in Li Houxiong's pharmaceutical factory, Li Houxiong didn't dare to come, he was afraid that he would bring his brother and parents into trouble.

"My parents are old and I don't want them to know."

Li Houxiong took a deep breath and walked into the gate of the villa. He looked around and saw no one was following him, so he pressed the lock.

The gate of the villa is equipped with a face recognition system. Li Houxiong wiped the ashes off his face and just approached, but heard the sound of recognition failure.

Jiang Ting leaned against the car door, looking at this big villa, feeling very emotional.

If Li Houxiong sells the house, he may be able to exchange some money, and the pharmaceutical factory may be able to support it for a while, but he does not intend to move his mind about the villa, and he will report the good news to his family and not the bad news.

Li Houxiong tried several times and found that the face recognition system at the gate might have deleted his password.

Li Houxiong tried the password again and found that the combination lock had also been changed.

He stared at the door in disbelief. Seeing that he couldn't get in for a long time, Jiang Ting walked over and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It seems that the password has been changed."

Li Houxiong felt a "thump" in his heart, and the villa was quiet, as if no one was at home.

Standing at the door of the villa, Jiang Ting saw a note pasted on the door.

Impressively written on it: The landlord is urgent, now for sale.

Jiang Ting pointed to the note and said, "Director Li, is your villa going to be sold?"

Li Houxiong looked up, shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be, no one has told me about it."

"Are you still calling your family?"

Jiang Ting handed the phone to Li Houxiong.

Li Houxiong looked at Jiang Ting's cell phone, shook his head, and finally dialed his brother's number with his cell phone.

"Beep beep..."

No one picked up.

"Maybe busy."

Li Houxiong smiled awkwardly.

Jiang Ting looked at the gate of the villa, thoughtfully, and pressed Li Houxiong's brother's phone number with her mobile phone, and within two seconds, a voice came from over there.

Jiang Ting tilted her head, looked at Li Houxiong's reaction, saw Li Houxiong's face turned pale, answered the phone and said, "Hello, are you the owner of the fourth row and three buildings in the Dongye villa area?"

"Yes." The voice over there was a little excited, "Did you come to see the house? We are in a hurry to make a move. If you need it, you can get it cheaper."

Li Houxiong was stunned for a moment, and remained silent.

"Why are you selling it?" Jiang Ting asked, "If it's convenient, can we take a look at the house."

"Okay, I'll go!"

They readily agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Li Houxiong's face was very ugly. It seems that no one discussed the sale of the villa with him.

"Director Li, it may be a misunderstanding. Maybe your family members know about your affairs, and they may want to sell the house to support you."

Jiang Ting said a few words of comfort, but Li Houxiong's expression was still flustered. In fact, Jiang Ting also had a bad premonition in her heart.

If what Jiang Ting said is true, why would Li Houxiong's family not answer his calls?

Half an hour later, a car stopped not far away, and Li Houxiong didn't dare to approach it. Seeing that the person who came was indeed his younger brother, he walked over.

"Hou Wei, why did you sell the house!"

Facing the sudden appearance of Li Houxiong, Li Houwei stopped, looked at Jiang Ting standing beside him, and walked over with a frown, "Brother, why are you here?"

"What are you selling your house for?"

"I sold the house to live!" Li Houwei looked at Li Houxiong with some complaints, "You owe so much money now, how many people are watching, how dare I live here, the money is gone, I won't go?"

"Where are your parents?" Li Houxiong stepped forward and grabbed Li Houwei's arm, "Where are they?"

"Back home."

Li Houwei said a little decadently.

"At such an age, go back to your hometown? You can really do it." Li Houxiong stepped forward and pushed Li Houwei, staring angrily at his brother in front of him, "Say it if you don't have money!"

"Say?" Li Houwei couldn't help mocking, "Do you still have money? I really don't know what you are bragging about every day. Now that the house is gone, so are we! If I don't sell this house, what will my family do!"

"You..." Hearing Li Houwei's words, Li Houxiong was too angry to speak.

"Mr. Li, Director Li and I came here this time to pick up something, and we'll leave after we're done."

Jiang Ting stood up, watched the two brothers almost fight, and stopped in time.

"The things in this house..." Li Houwei glanced at Li Houxiong, and finally handed over the key, "It's nothing, what do you want to take."

Li Houxiong snatched the key angrily, opened the door, and led Jiang Ting inside.

Jiang Ting looked at the desolate villa and wondered if the porcelain vase had also been moved by Li Houwei?

Li Houxiong straightened his collar and said in a low voice, "My younger brother doesn't know how to do it. I put the porcelain bottle in the underground storage room. It should still be there."

Only then did Jiang Ting relax a little bit. Watching Li Houxiong come out of the storage room holding a box, which was already covered with dust, Li Houxiong wiped it with his sleeve and said, "This is it, Miss Jiang."

"Let me see." Jiang Ting was about to open the box excitedly, but Li Houxiong shook his head while protecting the box.

"what happened?"

"Miss Jiang, I'm penniless now. Since you came here, it proves that this porcelain vase is valuable. I can't trust you."

Jiang Ting raised her eyebrows, expressing her understanding: "Of course, you can go to the pawn shop with me. Or let me inspect the goods first, and I have to know the authenticity before I can quote."

"Where?"

"It's right here."

Jiang Ting opened a door, which was originally a bedroom, but there was nothing but an empty bed.

Li Houxiong walked in holding the box with some disappointment, opened the box, Jiang Ting looked at the sweet white glaze in front of her, and was overjoyed.

Jiang Ting activated the "perspective card" function in her mind.

This sweet white glaze is not real, in one fell swoop.

Li Houxiong saw that Jiang Ting was not moving at all, and he didn't know what Jiang Ting was doing. After a few minutes, seeing Jiang Ting carefully turning the porcelain bottle and watching it for only 15 minutes, he nodded in satisfaction and said, "It's ok, Director Li, wait for the good news. .”

"what?"

Li Houxiong was a little stunned. Is the identification of antiques so simple?

Li Houxiong used to be a collector. He knew that every time a collection was appraised, several experts were dispatched at the same time, and professional equipment was often needed.

Does Jiang Ting dare to make a conclusion with her naked eyes?It's hard to believe.
