Chapter 956 Guess
Ruby and James found another place, sat down and ordered a glass of something casually.

"Heh, we... don't need to find a Benjamin?"

Ruby looked at James. His words were actually a test. The three of them discussed how to deal with Fang Ming before, but now there are only two of them. He didn't know what happened, so he simply tried to say—— In his opinion, James obviously knows more than himself. He said this, but he is actually telling James, if you have something or plan, now is the time to say it. After all, since you called me and Not named Benjamin, that means that in your James point of view, you and I are now on the same boat.

Of course James understood what Ruby meant, and immediately said: "There is no need to go to him anymore. He is no longer on the same boat as us. Didn't you see? He just left by himself just now. Take care of us."

Ruby nodded, then frowned. What James said was correct. That was indeed the case. Just now Benjamin left alone. Under normal circumstances, the three of them should advance and retreat together. Touch it and discuss what to do next.

However, such a thing did not happen. Benjamin didn't even look at himself and James when he left, and he didn't call now, so there was something wrong with this thing.

"James, what happened? I felt something was wrong in the box before, but I just didn't know what was going on."

Ruby frowned more and more, and he now believed more and more that something must have happened that he didn't know.

"Before we met Fang Ming tonight, Benjamin had contact with someone."

Ruby raised his eyebrows and said, "Who?"

"Lu Yao, he saw him and Lu Yao together in the coffee hall. I don't know what they were talking about, but I think he got some news from Lu Yao."

Ruby's brows tightened even more.This is not a good thing.Before, the three of them discussed how to deal with Fang Ming and reached a consensus. However, when Benjamin met Lu Yao, the important thing was that he didn't tell himself and James after meeting Lu Yao, so there must be something wrong with this matter.

So, things are not simple.

"When I was in the box before, I thought that kid Benjamin was abnormal. We were very happy to bid, and he only opened his mouth occasionally. I thought he wanted us to take the lead, but now I think It turned out that this is not the case. Damn, this old boy...has already met Lu Yao. It seems that through Lu Yao's mouth, he has already found a way to get the sketch. There is a way to get down."

They are not fools. At this time, Ruby heard that Benjamin had contacted Lu Yao, and immediately understood what Benjamin got from Lu Yao. There was absolutely nothing else besides the way to get the sketch.

"Yes, I thought the same way, and it was precisely because of this that Benjamin's behavior was so weird just now. I don't believe that he didn't want to get that sketch. Since he wants to get it, he should be like us. That's the bid."

"So, he must have known something. He didn't say anything in the box before, because he was afraid that we would compete with him after we heard about it."

Ruby clapped his hands with a "snap", nodded heavily and said, "Yes, damn, this old boy... is too much."

"That's right! But, Ruby, the most important thing for us now is to figure out a way. Even if we can't get the sketch, we can't let Benjamin get it!"

"Ah."

Ruby looked at James, thought for a while and said, "If you want to stop him, the best way is to find out what kind of information he got from Lu Yao, so that we can target—especially It is very likely that Benjamin has already gone to find Fang Ming."

Spreading his hands, James said, "Yes, I think he is indeed looking for Fang Ming at this time."

Ruby stood up with a "thump" and said loudly, "James, since this is the case, then we should go to Fang Ming now, or I think this matter will be a big trouble!"

From Ruby's point of view, since Benjamin has already gone to find Fang Ming and has a way to impress Fang Ming, the best way to stop him is naturally to go to Fang Ming immediately, so that Benjamin has no way to contact Fang Ming.

"Heh, Lu Bi, don't be so anxious. You don't need to go to Fang Ming for this matter. Of course, what I mean is that you don't need to go to Fang Ming now."

James smiled and shook his head, which surprised Ruby, and said, "Aren't you worried at all?"

"Of course I'm worried, because I really really want to get that sketch, but we don't need to worry that Fang Ming will sell the sketch to Benjamin now."

Ruby was confused by James' words, shook his head, and said, "This... James, I can't figure out what you mean by that."

"Heh, what kind of person is Fang Ming?"

Instead of answering Ruby's question, James asked instead.

"A very difficult person!"

Ruby didn't even think about it, and immediately said such a sentence.

Yes, in his impression, Fang Ming was a very difficult person to deal with. Although he didn't have much contact with him, he had already come to such a conclusion.

"For such a person, if you think about it, even if Benjamin got any useful tips from Lu Yao, you said that Benjamin can settle it so easily? This is simply impossible, so we don't have to be so anxious at all. .”

Ruby's eyes lit up immediately, what James said was not wrong at all, it was indeed the case, that Fang Ming was not that easy to deal with, even if Benjamin knew some special information, so what?It's definitely not that easy to satisfy Fang Ming, "For that Fang Ming, the best way is of course for us to compete together, so that the bid will be higher and higher, and he will be more profitable—" —After all, the benefits obtained are even greater.”

"So, under such circumstances, even if Benjamin knows something, it can only mean that he is a little easier than us. It does not mean that Benjamin will definitely be able to win the sketch in the end."

"There is also a possibility that Lu Yao came with Fang Ming. In fact, the relationship between her and Fang Ming should be closer. So, this may even be a way they came up with. The sound of the wind, a hole dug down, etc. From this perspective, Fang Ming must have a purpose. If there is a special purpose, it is even more impossible to sell the sketch to Benjamin easily, so ...We really don't need to go to Fang Ming in such a hurry, at least we don't need to worry about this problem until tomorrow."

"Ah!"

James nodded cheerfully, and said, "That's right, that's the reason. It's hard to say more time, but at least before tomorrow, that Fang Ming won't sell his sketches to Benjamin, that's for sure."

Lu Bi sat down again. Now that he has figured this out, there is really no need to go to Fang Ming now, and things need to be re-planned.

"If Fang Ming and Lu Yao really dig a hole in this way, it will be very unfavorable to us."

James nodded and said: "Of course, but we really can't take care of this now. The reason is very simple, that is, we all want to get that sketch, especially after Benjamin has decided to make the first move or he is Now that we have taken the lead, whether Fang Ming or Lu Yao has any conspiracy is no longer something we should consider."

"What we need to consider is what happened to the news Benjamin got from Lu Yao, and how he did it. Only by finding such information can we regain the initiative."

Ruby thought about it and found that this was really the case.

"You're not wrong at all, it's true. James, what do you think is the way Benjamin got the initiative or what he got from Lu Yao?"

"I think about this question in this way. Think about it. Fang Ming actually wants the three of us to participate in such a competition. Then... there must be some information in what he said before. We didn't notice..."

Lu Bi frowned tightly, and said slowly: "This...then we can only find out from Fang Ming's repeated words...that Fang Ming, if he revealed any news... "

James also fell into deep thought. What Ruby said is indeed a direction of thinking, and it is most likely the most important direction.

"The thing Fang Ming said the most, or the most important thing, was that Ms. Deng, who collects oriental or even Chinese antiques..."

"Snapped!"

Ruby threw the coffee book directly on the table, and said happily: "Yes, there is nothing wrong, this is the matter."

"That is to say, the purpose of Fang Ming or that Ms. Deng is not actually money, and the Chinese antiques she hopes to collect are actually not a problem for her, but antiques are not easy. If we find it, once we can produce the antiques she is interested in—of course, Huaxia antiques, we will be able to arouse her interest, and then agree to exchange the sketch with us..."
