Huo Sining originally didn't notice any problems, but now hearing He Fuye say that someone from Dongyang had come to his welfare home to buy an ancient instrument, she felt a pang in her heart, vaguely sensing something amiss.
"A Dongyang person? What is this person's name, and how did he know you had an ancient instrument for sale?" Huo Sining asked puzzledly.
He Fuye furrowed his brow, trying hard to recall, and said, "I don't quite remember the name, but this person knew about me selling the ancient instrument from the pawn shop. Didn't I just say I took the instrument to a pawn shop before?"
"At the pawn shop I went to, there was just a young manager there. I wasn't satisfied with the price he offered. The manager said he couldn't make the decision for a higher price and had to consult the boss. He asked if he could take some photos of the instrument. I thought, taking a few photos wouldn't cost me anything, so I let him do it and even left a contact number for him."
