The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 5587

“Yes!” Landon said without hesitation, “He has been in the antique business for twenty to thirty years now. He is definitely a swindler... no, I mean, he’s definitely proficient in antiques, calligraphy, and ancient paintings!”

Mr. Chardon nodded, then took out a few more hundred-dollar bills and handed them over to Landon as he said with a smile, “Young man, I wonder if you can introduce your boss to me? I really want to get to know him.”

Landon glanced at the old man and saw that the old man seemed to be very willing to offer him money, so he instantly had a plan in mind. He deliberately coughed twice before saying seriously, “Old man, you should know that there are rules in our industry as well. I don’t know who you are, so I can’t bring you to meet my boss just like that. If you’re working undercover and have targeted us, wouldn’t I be doomed for the rest of my life, then?”

Mr. Chardon hurriedly said, “Oh, young man, you’ve really misunderstood me! Do I look like such a ruthless person? To tell you the truth, I’m an overseas Oskian who has just returned from abroad to Oskia for a few days.”

After saying that, he quickly took out his passport and handed it to Landon before he said seriously, “Young man, look at this. This is an Argentinian passport, and the time of my entry is recorded here as well.”

In truth, Landon was just spouting nonsense, and he did not think that the old man in front of him was an undercover agent sent by the police at all. He was simply saying this in order to raise the difficulty and threshold of this matter so that he could ask the old man for more money.

Therefore, he said with a serious expression, “Old man, I’m a man who has seen and experienced a lot of things as well. This thing in your hand can be easily found in the alleys on Antique Street. You will definitely be able to get countless items such as this as long as you’re willing to fork out a thousand dollars.”

When Mr. Chardon saw that Landon did not seem to believe him, he quickly added some money, pushed it into Landon’s hands, and said earnestly, “Young man, forget about everything else and just look at my age. Even if I’m a police officer, I should be retired, so how could I possibly be an undercover agent?”

“Oh, I understand…” Mr. Chardon nodded slightly. He could see the sneaky look on Landon’s face as he spoke, and he could not see any traces of lying at all when Landon said those words. Judging from Mr. Chardon’s one hundred and fifty-six years of life experience, he could conclude that Landon was definitely telling the truth!

Therefore, he carefully expressed his conclusion, “Young man, this item was dug out from a tomb, right?”

Landon’s eyes instantly widened in shock. He put the pickup sign under his arm and took the initiative to hold Mr. Chardon’s hands. He was filled with admiration as he said cautiously, “Congratulations, old man! You got the answer right!”
