Charlie nodded and said, “Just take some time to rest. Once you’re feeling better, you can run the restaurant. If I need anything, I’ll make sure to reach out to you.”


    Dous responded enthusiastically, “I’m here whenever you need me!”


    Charlie added, “Oh, and please keep what happened today to yourself. I prefer to keep my identity under wraps, understood?”


    Dous nodded in agreement. “Got it. No one will hear a word from me!”


    Charlie smiled reassuringly. “I’ll arrange for two caretakers to look after you. Just focus on getting better. I’ll see myself out.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Once home, Charlie decided against telling ire about the day’s events. He believed it was safer for her not to know anything about his true identity.


    The following day, while he was grocery shopping, Charlie received a phone call. To his surprise, it was Jasmine Moore, the daughter of the boss at Vintage Deluxe.


    Intrigued, Charlie wondered what Jasmine wanted from him.


    As the call connected, Jasmine said, “Mr. Wade, I apologize for interrupting you.”


    Charlie asked, “Is there an issue with the Yuhuchun Vase I repaired?”


    Jasmine replied, “Oh no, it’s not that. I’m reaching out to discuss something else.”


    Curious, Charlie pressed, “What is it?”


    Jasmine exined, “I’ve recentlye across something interesting, but I’m not very knowledgeable in this area. I heard Mr. Wade is, and I was hoping you could help me identify some antiques.”<fnda7e> ?? ??? ???? ?? ???? ???? ???????s, ????s? ??s?? f?ndnovel</fnda7e>


    Although antiques weren’t Charlie’s primary interest, he realized hecked some unique collectibles and decided to inquire further. “What kind of antique are you interested in?”


    Jasmine responded, “It’s a jade piece. The sellers im that wearing it can soothe the soul and attract sess.”


    At that moment, Charlie felt a spark of recognition. He recalled hearing about such mythical relics before.


    These legendary items were said to bestow incredible benefits upon their owners. Curious about the potential treasure, Charlie agreed to help. “Alright, I’ll join you.”


    Jasmine replied, “Thank you, Mr. Wade. I’ll pick you up tomorrow at 8 am sharp.”


    “Sounds good.” Charlie ended the call, his mind racing with thoughts.


    Wealthy individuals like him were often drawn to mythical relics that promised prosperity and tranquility. Charlie decided to explore this realm of collectibles, hoping to find what he had been searching for all along.


    The next morning, Jasmine arrived right on time at Charlie’s door.


    As soon as Charlie entered the car, Jasmine began to brief him. “Mr. Wade, there will be significantpetition for this jade piece. I’ve heard that quite a few bidders from Aurous Hill will be present!”


    Charlie nodded, “The number ofpetitors isn’t the main concern; it’s the value of the item itself. If it’s genuinely worth it, I’m confident Miss Moore will secure it.”


    Jasmine smiled appreciatively. “Thank you, Mr. Wade, but we can’t underestimate our opponents. There may be some influential figures in Aurous Hill we don’t even know about.”


    Feigning surprise, Charlie remarked, “What? How can that be? Isn’t the Moore family the most powerful in Aurous Hill?”


    Jasmine smiled again. “That’s what everyone believes. However, for instance, the new chairman of Emgrand Group could easily overshadow the Moores. We should be cautious.”


    With a sigh, Jasmine added, “Honestly, I’m quite curious about this powerful individual, but he remains incredibly secretive. No one seems to have uncovered his true identity.”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
