Chapter 856: A pervert in sheep's clothing?

Lin Lang was deeply moved by the Chu family's loyalty, righteousness and patriotism.

The tragic love story between the third master of the Chu family and the daughter of the He family is not only moving but also a microcosm of that war-torn era.

Although that humiliating history is long gone, every Xia citizen should not forget the national humiliation. Today's happy life was bought with the blood and lives of the martyrs.

They sacrificed their lives to keep the country safe!

While Chu Yiren and He Hongshen were reminiscing about the past, the casino manager had already instructed the staff to count the chips, because according to the rules of baccarat, the winner of the bet on the banker must pay a 5% commission to the casino.

So Chu Yiren put nearly 4.6 million chips in all, and in the end, the total of her capital and the winnings from baccarat was exactly million chips.

In other words, Lin Lang used a capital of 100 chips and won 9 million Australian dollars by going to and from the Lisboa Casino.

The casino manager handed the transfer check to Lin Lang with a smile on his face, and bowed solemnly to apologize for suspecting Lin Lang of cheating.

Lin Lang took the transfer check and put it into his personal space, and generously expressed his understanding to the casino manager.

Ho Hongshen said politely, "My dear granddaughter, I will see you and Mr. Lin off."

"Uncle, please don't see me off! We'll see you in the sea next month." Chu Yiren and He Hongshen said goodbye with a smile.

"See you later, Mr. He!" Lin Lang nodded slightly.

"Goodbye, Mr. Lin!" He Hongshen took the initiative to shake hands with Lin Lang again and said goodbye sincerely.

The attitude when saying goodbye often determines the temperature of the next meeting.

Although He Hongshen knew that Lin Lang used some superb cheating skills to win 9 million chips in his casino, He Hongshen, who had a high emotional intelligence, was very appreciative of Lin Lang.

This way of dealing with people would make Lin Lang feel embarrassed to come to his casino to cheat and win money, even if He Hongshen did not put Lin Lang on the casino's blacklist.

After Chu Yiren intimately held Lin Lang's arm and walked out of the VIP Baccarat room, the smile on He Hongshen's face suddenly stopped, and he slapped the casino manager hard in the face.

"Snapped……"

The casino manager's face was slapped so hard that it hurt. He bowed his head and apologized. He said in a trembling voice, "It was my fault for not managing the risks properly, causing the casino to suffer a loss of 900 million yuan. Please punish me, Chairman."

He Hongshen kicked the casino manager to the ground, picked up the crystal ashtray on the gambling table and smashed it on the casino manager's head, angrily saying: "You useless bastard, you have to make up for the 9 million loss of the casino today by other gamblers."

The casino manager slumped on the ground, holding his bleeding head, and replied timidly, "Yes, yes, yes, please rest assured, Chairman, I will definitely catch a few more big fish with stupid people and a lot of money before the end of the month to make up for the losses caused today."

The beautiful dealer was so frightened when she saw this scene that she trembled with fear. She knew that after Chairman Ho Hongshen left, the casino manager would definitely take out his anger on her mistake in changing cards.

As expected, after the gambling king, Sun Hung Sun, left angrily, the casino manager began to roar at the beautiful dealer for her incompetence, and even grabbed her hair and punched and kicked her.

After leaving the Lisboa Casino, Chu Yiren took Lin Lang's arm and asked, "Honey, where are we going next?"

"Of course, we're going back to the Truman International Hotel and doing something shameful." Lin Lang grinned.

"Hubby, you are so frivolous. I will go to the bank with you to exchange the 9 million transfer check I just won. Then, how about you go to Guolan Street with me to visit the antique stalls in the Random House?"

Lin Lang joked, "Why? Wife, do you also want to satisfy your desire to pick up bargains?"

Chu Yiren smiled and replied, "I have a husband who is an expert in treasure appraisal. I want you to take me to experience the feeling of finding a bargain. Is this request not too much?"

Lin Lang said lovingly: "Today my main focus is companionship, it must not be excessive!"

"Then let's set off now." Chu Yiren and Lin Lang held hands and got into the Mercedes-Benz car, smiling charmingly with anticipation.

Lin Lang reminded: "Wife, you forgot that your assistant Lina is still in the casino."

Chu Yiren was just about to take out her cell phone to call her assistant Lina and tell her to go back to the Truman International Hotel to rest after playing in the casino.

After hanging up the call, Chu Yiren asked the driver to go to the nearest Liqiao Bank and accompanied Lin Lang to apply for a card and exchange a transfer check for 9 million Australian dollars.

Because transferring this amount of money to the mainland requires paying a 20% occasional income tax, Lin Lang directly opened a Liqiao Securities stock trading account when applying for a local Liqiao bank card, and registered and bound it to the third-party Goldman Sachs brokerage platform.

Through the Goldman Sachs brokerage platform, Lin Lang used 9 million Australian dollars to buy shares of Apple, Amazon, Google and Nvidia in the US stock market. These are all bull stocks with ridiculously high future returns and are must-buys for time travelers.

After leaving Well Bridge Bank, Lin Lang held Chu Yiren's hand and got into the Mercedes-Benz. The driver drove to Fruit Market Street with familiarity.

The afternoon sun shone through the car window, casting a golden glow on the ends of Chu Yiren's hair. She shook Lin Lang's arm and smiled softly: "Husband, don't hide anything later. Tell me the first time you see your baby."

"Wife, it's very difficult to find fine antiques at the antique stalls in the Langui Building in Xiangshan'ao. Don't hold out hope of finding a big bargain." Lin Lang kissed Chu Yiren on the forehead.

"Honey, I just want to experience the feeling of finding a bargain. It doesn't matter if it's a big bargain or a small bargain. The main thing is that I'm happy when I go shopping with you." Chu Yiren behaved like a little woman in front of Lin Lang.

The antique stalls of Lan Gui Lou are spread out in the alleys. Old wooden boxes and broken rattan chairs are piled with various old items from different periods of time, including blue and white porcelain bowls with chipped corners, old locks covered with rust, wood carvings with patina, and so on.

The only difference from the antique stalls in China is that Xiangshanao’s colonial history has endowed it with unique antique features, so that the antique stalls on Langui Street are full of traces of colonial cultural fusion, with Western artifacts accounting for a prominent proportion.

There are Portuguese silverware from the 18th and 19th centuries, Western clocks and telescopes, religious artworks, Cantonese glazed porcelain and heraldic porcelain antiques exported during the Qing Dynasty, mahogany carvings, ivory combs, pewterware from Southeast Asia and Latin America, and more.

Chu Yiren squatted down and fiddled with a beeswax bracelet. Lin Lang suddenly grabbed her wrist and said, "Wife, this bracelet is artificially colored. The beeswax base is plastic."

"Uh..." Chu Yiren hurriedly put the beeswax bracelet in her hand back to the stall.

Lin Lang picked up a palm-sized bronze Buddha statue from the stall next to him, rubbed the lotus pattern on the Buddha's seat with his fingertips, looked at the stall owner and asked, "Boss, how much is this?"

The stall owner replied in broken Mandarin: "This is a late Qing Dynasty purple copper gilt Buddha. The inner side of the lotus petals has the inscription 'Baohuafang'. The gilt is thin but the body is dense. I'll give you 10 Australian dollars."

"The item is very attractive, but of little use. The premium is too high and there is not much room for appreciation." Lin Lang put the gilded bronze Buddha back on the stall and took Chu Yiren's hand to continue shopping at the antique stall.

Lin Lang held Chu Yiren's hand and walked slowly in the alley. The afternoon sun made the stone road hot.

Chu Yiren suddenly squatted in front of a stall selling old coins. There were various copper and silver coins piled in the glass jar. She picked up a silver coin with rounded edges with her fingertips. Suddenly, her eyes lit up: "Husband, look at this silver coin. There is an eagle with spread wings on the front, and there is a long snake in its mouth."

The stall owner was a middle-aged man wearing sunglasses. He raised his eyes lazily and said, "Miss, you have good taste. This is a Mexican Eagle Dollar from 1880. I'll give you 5000 Australian dollars."

Lin Lang took the silver dollar and turned it towards the light. He calmly put the silver dollar back into Chu Yiren's palm and smiled at the stall owner: "Boss, the edge of this Eagle Dollar is so worn out. 5000 yuan is too expensive. 3000 yuan is enough to make friends."

The stall owner frowned and was about to speak, but Lin Lang touched the ribbon with the "Liberty Cap" pattern on the back of the silver dollar with his fingertips and said, "Look at the engraving on this ribbon, it's deep, sharp and clear. There are some scratches on the bottom plate, and the surface is a little oxidized. But my wife likes it, so I'll just buy it for fun for 3000 yuan."

The middle-aged man was busy selling goods to other tourists, so he replied cheerfully: "Okay, it seems you really like it, take it."

"No need to give change based on the exchange rate." Lin Lang pulled out his wallet, took out 3000 yuan in Chinese Yuan and handed it to the stall owner.

The stall owner was very happy to receive the Hua Xia currency, because according to the exchange rate at that time, 3000 Hua Xia currency could be exchanged for 3330 Australian dollars, so the stall owner made a profit by receiving 3000 Hua Xia currency.

After leaving the coin stall, Chu Yiren looked at the silver dollar in her hand and asked curiously, "Husband, did we find a bargain?"

Lin Lang took Chu Yiren a few steps forward and whispered, "That's right. This is not an ordinary Eagle Dollar. It is a gold sample coin from the Chihuahua Mint in Mexico in 1880. It is silver-plated on the outside to hide it. Look at the crack on the edge, it was left when the silver was plated."

Chu Yiren held the silver dollar and looked towards the position of Lin Lang's finger. Sure enough, there was a very fine golden reflection. She exclaimed: "Wow, husband, you are really an expert at picking up bargains. You even found this!"

Lin Lang smiled and said, "There are very few of these gold-plated and silver-plated Eagle Dollar coins in existence. It is conservatively estimated to be worth 50 Chinese Yuan."

Chu Yiren smiled sweetly in surprise and said, "Interesting, it's really fun to find a bargain."

Lin Lang smiled and pinched Chu Yiren's cheek: "It's just a small leak, it's not as important as your happiness."

Chu Yiren was playing with the gold-gilt silver eagle dollar sample coin she had just found. She seemed happier about finding a bargain of 50 yuan than if she had made 5 million yuan from the investment.

Afterwards, Lin Lang took Chu Yiren to visit the antique stalls for another two hours, picking up several bargains, big and small. Although they didn't make much money in total, their main purpose was to make Miss Chu happy.

After returning to the Xiangshan Ao Chumen five-star hotel, as soon as he entered the presidential suite, Lin Lang couldn't wait to hug Chu Yiren in his arms and said anxiously: "Wife, now is finally the part I love most."

Chu Yiren leaned in Lin Lang's arms and said coquettishly, "Is your favorite part to take advantage of me?"

Lin Lang breathed in the charming fragrance of Chu Yiren and replied in a rolling throat: "Wife, I love everything about you, but my favorite thing to do with you is to hug you to sleep, hehe..."

Chu Yiren stood on tiptoe and kissed Lin Lang lightly on the lips. She blushed and joked, "Hubby, you are a pervert in sheep's clothing."

"Honey, I am so excited when I hug your soft body. Do you like me, a big pervert?"
