Chapter 217 Counterattack
When Bai Song returned to Bai Garden, he didn't see Bai Xun and Nan Chun, not even the housekeeper Yan, so he couldn't help but feel confused.
"Second Young Master and Second Young Madam haven't returned yet?"
"They are in the kitchen," the maid replied.
"Kitchen? All in the kitchen?" Bo Song asked in surprise.
"The second young lady wanted to learn how to cook, so she went to the kitchen. The second young master was worried, so he followed her." The maid said with a smile.
After hearing this, Bosong handed her his coat and went to the kitchen, where everyone was busy.
Nanchun and Baixun were frying meatballs, with the chef directing them and Butler Yan helping them. Ah Fu and the others were busy washing and chopping vegetables.
"Oh, young master, you're back! You were so busy that you forgot the time." When Butler Yan saw Bai Song coming back, he wanted to wash his hands and make tea.
"It's okay, you guys go about your business, I'll watch from the side. Why did you suddenly think of fried meatballs?" Bai Xunsong said with a smile.
"Isn't the New Year coming soon? When I was at home, my mother would always fry meatballs when the New Year was approaching. Young master, please wait a moment. This pot will be ready soon. It tastes delicious when you eat it while it's hot!" Nanchun said with a smile.
Nanchun wants to learn how to cook.
If Bai Xun goes with him in the future and there are no chefs around, he can still cook a lot of delicious food for him.
After a while, the steaming meatballs were served on the table, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
"Nanchun, your cooking skills are pretty good!" Bai Song ate a lot in one breath.
"It's the chef's fault!" Nanchun said with a smile.
Nanchun's eyes fell on the open brocade box on the table, and her heart couldn't help but tighten.
Ding kiln official white porcelain plate!
It was exactly the same as what he had seen before at Fourth Master Sheng's place.
Bai Song noticed Nanchun's gaze and took out the porcelain plate from the brocade box.
"I just bought it from an antique dealer today. He said it was Ding kiln white porcelain. It cost me quite a bit of money."
Nanchun took it, touched it, looked at it, and then handed it to Baixun, saying, "It feels quite different from the porcelain plate we use."
Bo Song asked, "Do you understand this?"
Nanchun smiled sheepishly, "I only know the basics. When I was little, my grandfather wanted me to learn his skills in finding dragons and tombs and identifying antiques.
Unfortunately, I was very resistant to those things. Seeing that I wasn't interested, my grandfather stopped teaching me. "Oh, I regret it now. I should have learned from him. I heard that there are many treasure appraisers in Yangcheng who make a lot of money."
"A lot of treasure appraisers do make money," said Bo Song.
"Young Master, isn't grandpa done with his work yet? He's been away from home for a year, and I miss him so much." Nan Chun asked worriedly.
Bai Song glanced at Bai Xun, took a sip of tea, and said, "This time we went to a place that was quite far away, and the mountain roads were difficult to travel. The location of the tomb was also not easy to find, so it took quite a while."
Nanchun asked hurriedly, "Is there any danger?"
Bo Song said with a guilty conscience, "No...no danger. Don't you know your grandfather's abilities? And the people around him are all very agile and experienced in battle."
Nanchun nodded and said, "I'm glad he's safe. Maybe it's because the New Year is approaching, but I've been feeling really anxious without any news from him."
"Don't worry! You can spend the New Year in Yangcheng peacefully." Bai Song said.
Nanchun brought up the matter of grandpa on purpose.
That white porcelain plate is authentic, and it is the one I saw at the Fourth Master's place before.
Bo Song took it back on purpose, probably to test him.
The more you talk, the more mistakes you make, but it is also unreasonable to keep silent.
So he deliberately brought up the matter of his grandfather.
They had kept his grandfather's disappearance a secret from him, and now they were most afraid that he would mention his grandfather.
Sure enough, Bai Song stopped harping on the porcelain plate and started talking to him about the New Year.
The next afternoon, Cui Dong went to Guangyuan Bank and took out a box from the previous safe.
After returning to the dock warehouse, Bo Song took the box and opened it. Inside was a crudely made Ru kiln celadon-glazed spring vase. There was also a note with the words "Left One" written on it.
Bo Song's face was gloomy.
The one sent by the kiln factory was indeed a Ru kiln celadon glaze spring vase, and it was indeed the one on the left!
To prevent the news from leaking out, only a few people knew about the entire process of shipment from the kiln factory, and Wang Zijin was keeping a close eye on it.
The news was leaked again.
This traitor is still in the kiln factory and is hiding very deeply.
Seeing Bai Song's grim expression, Bai Fugui asked cautiously, "Master, is this what you prepared?"
Bai Song threw the crudely made fake that Cui Dong brought to the ground.
"Shuisheng, give the things to Cui Dong."
Xu Shuisheng came over carrying a large box with two porcelain bottles placed side by side inside.
Cui Dong looked at Bai Song in confusion.
"Just take both of them." Bo Song said.
"Yes."
Coming out of the warehouse and getting into the car, Bo Song looked at the porcelain vase in his hand with a serious expression.
"Master, what's your intention in giving him two fakes?"
"He certainly didn't expect Cui Dong to take two. Besides, the person who picked up the goods might not be knowledgeable. If he couldn't tell the real from the fake, he wouldn't be able to throw either one away. Two such large items, so valuable, he couldn't just carry them away. So he could only carry the box we prepared for him.
Send someone to wait outside the bank door to see who comes out with the suitcase. Remember! Don't alert the enemy, just follow him and see where he goes in the end." Bo Song's face was devoid of a smile.
"Young Master, the spy behind this is probably an old employee of the kiln factory, otherwise he wouldn't know it so accurately. This person should be very familiar with our process. Even if he doesn't participate in it, he should be able to guess most of it." Xu Shuisheng said.
Bo Song gritted his teeth and said, "Let's put the business on hold for now! We can't continue without finding out."
"Yes."
"The kiln factory in Yuncheng must be built as soon as possible! Send some more people over there, and they must be reliable." Bai Song said.
"Yes."
"By the way, how's the phone check going?"
"It was indeed beaten by Second Master Sheng. You say... could it be that the first and second masters joined forces?" Xu Shuisheng said.
"It's possible. Second Master isn't that meticulous. He must be colluding with someone."
"That's definitely not the Fourth Master. The Second Master and the Fourth Master are incompatible, so there's no way he can be ordered around by him."
Bai Song seemed to be thinking about something: "You send someone to keep an eye on the bank. If it is confirmed that the man took the things to Sheng Mansion, then send someone to Sichuan City immediately to investigate the Sheng family's tung oil and pig bristle business. Only if we get hold of the Sheng family's handle can we curb the Sheng family." Bai Song said.
"understood."
The person behind the scenes gave the white porcelain plate to the Second Master so easily. It seems that he is not short of money and knows the Second Master's temper very well.
He used petty gains to control the Second Master, but his goal was the Underground Fairy Palace, not the tiny bit in the hands of the Bai family.
The only one who could make the Second Master cooperate so well and do all this was the eldest master of the Sheng family.
