At this time, Guan Yali also came out.

When she saw Ma Zhen, she also went up to say hello: "Uncle Ma."

Ma Zhen actually showed a look of affection: "Guan Yali, we haven't seen her for only a few years, but she has grown so big."

Guan Yun was a little unhappy because of his irritating appearance.

However, it seems that they have a good relationship with each other, and he is of no use to them.

So he sat back next to Lin Ran.

Ma Zhen also sat down next to Lin Ran, poured tea on his own, and said, "Lin Ran, I can only say that you are really evil. No matter where you are, I will meet you."

In fact, this is what Lin Ran wanted to say.

The two of them seemed to be playing riddles, which amused Jiang Hua.

"Haha, today is really a happy day. Let the few of us drink tea, have fun and talk."

Lin Ran waved his hand: "Let's do business first."

Guan Yali was dumbfounded.

In her impression, Ma Zhen was a wealthy businessman in Hong Kong City, and countless jewelry merchants and antique dealers in the mainland wanted to flatter him.

However, I saw that Lin Ran did have a disdainful attitude towards Ma Zhen.

On the contrary, I never expected that Ma Zhen would have such a gentle attitude towards Lin Ran. In his impression, he had a arrogant and arrogant attitude towards everyone, which was completely opposite.

"Where's Master Tian?" Jiang Hua asked.

"He will be out soon." Guan Yali replied.

Ma Zhen smiled and said: "Lin Ran, are you here to unlock the Lu Ban Lock?"

"Oh, you also know Luban Suo?"

"I'm talking nonsense." Ma Zhen drank a cup of tea and said, "I have never seen Teacher Jiang's Luban lock box. Maybe you can let me take a look today. If you can't unlock it, can I try it? ?”

When Jiang Hua heard this, he immediately became energetic.

He laughed loudly and said: "Okay, I have gathered two experts today. I think this may be an opportunity given to me by my ancestors. Please wait here for a while, Master Tian should take it out soon."

As he said that, a person walked out from the back room.

Guan Yali immediately stood up and wanted to help, but was politely refused by the man.

"It's not necessary. I can handle this little thing myself. Yali, just wait outside."

There was a popping sound from the back room.

Soon, a box was moved out.

However, what surprised Lin Ran the most was not the box, but the person moving the box.

Isn't this the same Boss Tian I saw this morning?

Tian Hai moved the box to the living room and wiped the sweat from his head.

"Uncle Tian, ​​come and drink tea." Guan Yali immediately picked up the cup and poured him a glass of water.

"Thank you." Tian Haigang picked up the cup and prepared to drink water.

When he saw Ma Zhen, he almost lost his grip on the cup.

This move was naturally noticed by Lin Ran.

"Is it a bit hot?" Guan Yali saw that Tian Hai almost lost his grip on the cup and quickly reached out to take it.

"No, it doesn't matter." Tian Hai quickly returned to normal, took a sip of tea, looked at Lin Ran again, and said, "Little Lin, I didn't expect us to meet again."

Lin Ran didn't speak.

On the contrary, Ma Zhen showed a meaningful smile and did not speak.

"Thank you." Jiang Hua stood up and criticized the wooden box and said, "This is the Luban lock box."

At this moment, he gently took the Luban lock box in his hand and placed it on the coffee table.

It seems that he is a little tired from doing physical work.

His cough got slightly worse.

Lin Ran immediately stepped forward and said, "Brother Jiang, just put it here."

"Okay." Jiang Hua put the box on the coffee table and said, "This is the box. Brother Lin and Brother Ma, you two, take a look."

Ma Zhen was unmoved, and Lin Ran had already put down the purple clay tea cup in his hand.

Putting the cup aside, he sat up straight.

Approaching the wooden box, he didn't go directly to dismantle the Luban lock like others thought.

Instead, it was like observing carefully, looking at the small and exquisite wooden box.

Wu Ning and Guan Yun's attention was naturally attracted by this small wooden box with a simple shape.

Ma Zhen was looking at Tian Hai expressionlessly, and small drops of sweat kept falling on Tian Hai's forehead.

Everyone else's attention was on the box, no one was paying attention to them.

This was not Guan Yali's first time seeing Luban's lock box, and she had also played with it before, so she didn't find anything new.

In Jiang Hua's words, if he can't open it anymore, the next box will be his.

Grandpa rarely shows negative emotions, but lately he has been doing so frequently.

That's why Guan Yali was a little anxious.

She saw that Lin Ran had been looking at the wooden box, and she subconsciously felt that it was impossible for Lin Ran to open it.

Because, I am also considered a top student in the school.

Although her reputation is not very good, it is mainly because many men cannot pursue her and deliberately make up rumors to slander her.

She has understood her mission since she was a child and works very hard in her studies.

She knew her grandfather's wishes, so she spent more time on mathematics than others.

Even so, she tried every possible method but could not open the Luban lock box.

She even wondered whether the Luban lock had completely failed due to years of disrepair, and the only way was to break it open.

However, she did not dare to express this idea.

Because this is my grandfather's lifelong wish.

If it was smashed, grandpa would be sad for a long time.

It can be seen that he is full of affection for this wooden box. It can even be said that it was one of his original purposes for opening an antique shop.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have tried every means to recruit experts in the industry and ask people to open the wooden boxes in normal ways.

Of course, Lin Ran didn't know what Guan Yali was thinking?

At this time, only himself and the wooden box on the coffee table were left in his world.

One person and one box, it's like facing each other in the void.

The Luban lock box is not large in size, horizontally and vertically, and together it is only the size of a makeup box.

However, it is not the red light as imagined.

On the contrary, the whole thing looks particularly dark, with a slight black oily sheen on the surface of the box.

When I reached out and touched it, I found that it was not oil, but that the color was absorbed into the wood, making it look extremely thick.

Lin Ran finally discovered the reason why Luban's lock box was difficult to unlock.

Because from the surface, it is impossible to tell which side is the lid and which side is the box.

Every angle is perfect.

The main reason for being able to judge the top and bottom is the protruding wooden block.

This design reminded Lin Ran of a game he played when he was a child - Huarong Dao.

The wooden blocks are also movable. Perhaps this is the key to unlocking Luban's lock box.

Guan Yali saw Lin Ran seemed to be in a daze and was about to wave her hand.

But I heard Jiang Hua say: "Brother Lin, don't disturb him when he is appraising."

"Yes." Guan Yali quickly stopped.

At this time, I saw other people nodding heavily.

They all seemed to know that this was Lin Ran's habit.
