After Yan Leng left, Tian Yangsheng said, "Brother Dong, for safety's sake, it's best if Yan Leng doesn't stay."

Shen Dong sighed and said, "Ah Huan will handle it."

Over the years, Yan Leng has sold far too many antiques from the Xia Kingdom; killing him would be an injustice to appease public anger.

Moreover, the fact that Shen Dong intercepted Xia Kingdom antiques from Hill Group's port warehouse cannot be revealed to the outside world.

Yan Leng would never keep his secret.

If things go wrong, once he gets abroad, he might immediately call the Hill Group, causing them to fight each other.

Therefore, no matter what, Shen Dong would never allow Yan Leng to continue living.

As for the so-called issue of integrity, that was not even within Shen Dong's consideration.

He had broken countless promises back then.

A few more times won't cause any major harm.

At 9:00 a.m., Hill Group CEO Defoe Martin arrived at Tsuen Wan Harbour.

Looking at the empty warehouse, Defoe Martin's face was extremely grim.

The precious cultural relics of the Xia Kingdom that had been collected over a whole year had simply vanished without a trace, which was hard for Defoe Martin, the person in charge, to accept.

He glared at Cheng Ho, the person in charge of Tsuen Wan Port, and demanded, "Where are the things in our warehouse?"

Cheng He said, "Sorry, we're not quite sure."

Defoe Martin became even more annoyed, saying, "We rented your warehouse, so you have an obligation to protect it. Do you think you can brush us off with a 'I'm not sure'?"

Cheng He shrugged and said, "Mr. Martin, I have checked the rental agreement your company signed with us. It clearly stipulates that your company is responsible for the security of the warehouse. Besides, your company only stores wooden tables and chairs, so it doesn't seem like there was any major loss."

To conceal its activities, the Hill Group initially declared the tables and chairs to the port as having been shipped from Southeast Asia.

Later, they secretly removed the tables and chairs and put the antiques inside.

Now that the antiques are gone, the Hill Group has no recourse but to swallow its pride and bear the loss.

The reason is simple: these antiques were all smuggled in and cannot be brought to light.

"you..."

Defoe Martin was speechless after being rebuked by Cheng He.

"Wait, something's not right."

Cheng He suddenly looked suspicious and said, "Mr. Martin, surely it's not necessary for you, the CEO, to personally intervene in the loss of some tables and chairs? Is there something valuable stored inside?"

Defoe Martin snorted and said, "That's none of your business."

Cheng He said, "How can it be unrelated? If you were storing smuggled goods, we would definitely be implicated."

Defoe Martin said coldly, "Rest assured, we are a legitimate financial company and would never do anything illegal."

Cheng He nodded and said, "That's good. Mr. Martin, if you have nothing else, I'll be going now."

Defoe Martin spat at Cheng He's retreating figure and cursed, "What a bastard."

Just then, Defoe Martin's assistant came up to him and said, "Boss, Yan Leng has run away."

Defoe Martin's expression changed, and he asked, "Where did they go?"

The assistant replied, "He went to Australia with his wife and children."

"asshole."

Defoe Martin said sternly, "It must be this guy who stole from us and looted all the antiques we've worked so hard to collect."

The assistant said, "Boss, can we ask the Australian branch for help?"

Defoe Martin said, "Of course. I'm going to catch him and tear him to pieces."

The Hill Group has branches in more than ten countries around the world.

Defoe Martin made just one phone call, and an hour later, more than a dozen Hill Group security personnel appeared at Canberra International Airport.

As soon as Yan Leng got off the plane, they arrested him.

The flight from Hong Kong Island International Airport to Canberra International Airport takes twelve hours. The security personnel waited patiently for the plane to land, but they couldn't find Yan Leng's family anywhere.

It turns out that Yan Leng was very clever and knew the Hill Group's power inside and out. He knew that once he went to Canberra International Airport, he would definitely be captured and killed by them.

Therefore, Yan Leng and his family disembarked at Singapore Airport early.

Defoe Martin was nearly driven mad with anger.

However, news soon arrived.

Yan Leng was shot by unidentified individuals after leaving Singapore International Airport and died on the spot.

Defoe Martin was very clever and immediately realized that it must have been Yan Leng's "comrades" who had silenced him to avoid being tracked down by the Hill Group.

Who exactly is it?

Defoe Martin was jumping up and down in a panic.

The Hill Group headquarters is already aware of this matter and will send people to Hong Kong Island to investigate in three days.

If he cannot retrieve these antiques before the headquarters personnel arrive, then Defoe Martin, the head of the Hill Group's Hong Kong branch, will be finished.

Meanwhile, Shen Dong, the instigator, received Du Yuxin, the president of Xia Hua Society, in his office.

Du Yuxin took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Mr. Shen is truly remarkable."

Shen Dong knew that he couldn't hide the fact that he had looted the Hill Group's antiques from this old fox, so he shrugged and said, "This is all thanks to the clues you provided."

A glint flashed in Du Yuxin's eyes as he slowly said, "Yan Leng died at Singapore International Airport."

Shen Dong said calmly, "Over the years, Yan Leng has helped the Hill Group smuggle tens of thousands of antiques overseas. He can be called a disgrace to the Chinese nation. It's too good for him to die. In ancient times, his entire family would have been implicated."

Du Yuxin said, "Mr. Shen, let's not beat around the bush. The antiques in Hill Group are priceless treasures of our Xia Kingdom. Shouldn't you return them to the country?"

Shen Dong laughed and said, "President Du, you can't say that. These antiques were originally going to be smuggled overseas, but my men took care of the Hill Group. Logically speaking, these antiques should belong to me personally."

Du Yuxin frowned and said, "Mr. Shen, only the country is the owner of antiques."

Shen Dong said, "The problem is that the owner didn't protect them well."

Du Yuxin was speechless.

It is indeed a dereliction of duty on their part to allow more than 20,000 antiques and paintings to fall into the hands of foreigners.

"Mr. Shen, what would it take for you to hand over these antiques to the state?" Du Yuxin asked.

Shen Dong stared intently at Du Yuxin and said, "President Du, you must have communicated with the domestic authorities before you came. We're old friends, so just say it directly. There's no need to test me here."

Du Yuxin was taken aback, then shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Mr. Shen, are you really only twenty-nine years old? Why do I feel like I'm dealing with an old fox?"

Shen Dong smiled and said, "I take your words as a compliment."
