After all, it wasn't just him; many other families and people from other countries also loved Chinese antiques.

Over the previous six years, he had brought considerable profits to his family by reselling cultural relics.

He eventually distinguished himself among his father's three sons, and his status within his father and clan steadily rose.

It's a pity that it was discovered by the Chinese at this time.

"Oh? Is that so?" Although he knew all too well that when lying, it was best to mix the truth with the falsehood.

An ordinary person might be intimidated by him and believe what he says.

But who is Yan Bin? He's someone who's risen through the ranks from the War of Resistance against Japan to the present day, reaching the rank of senior colonel. How could he possibly be deceived by him?

With just that one question, Nozawa Ishian knew that they didn't believe him.

"Of course it's true, otherwise how would we know!"

The Nozawa family has remained holed up in Japan since the end of World War II.

They wouldn't have known this news if someone hadn't informed them.

"Who was the person who came looking for you back then?"

Yan Bin frowned as he looked at him with such a confident expression.

These people must be quite capable to be able to relay messages from China to Japan.

“I didn’t know. I was studying abroad at the time, and I heard about it when I got home.”

He was indeed studying abroad in Miguo, and only rushed home after receiving news from his clan.

At the time, most people in the clan were skeptical about the matter and did not want to get involved.

After all, China was a country that Japan had invaded but was humiliated and driven out of.

However, he was young and fearless (not really), and he was interested in Chinese antiques and artifacts, so he took on this task.

As for how they received this news, they heard it all from people in their clan.

When did you start trading for the first time? How many times have you traded in total?

Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Yan Bin didn't press the matter further.

Anyway, if his interrogation doesn't work, we still have Shen Mu Ning as a powerful weapon.

"It started in 1968, and it happened almost twice a year."

"Who is the person who comes to trade each time?"

"They were all that Mr. Xue, but he was the only one I met."

Previously, their trading time was generally in April and October each year.

The people from China would place the antiques in Yuwei Village in advance, leaving only Xue Tu to wait for their arrival.

All they need to do is arrive at Yuwei Village at the agreed time, inspect the goods, and then have the villagers transport them to sea for them.

This time, for some reason, the Chinese side was urging them urgently, which is why they rushed over as quickly as possible.

However, when they were arrested, he learned that something must have gone wrong in the process of China acquiring antiques.

This aroused suspicion from the military, so they wanted to sell the antiques they had as soon as possible.

As a result, both parties involved in the transaction were apprehended in one fell swoop.

If Shen Mu Ning and Yan Bin knew what he was thinking, they would naturally give him a thumbs up.

He had guessed almost perfectly.

However, he never imagined that this line of work would be exposed simply because Shen Mu Ning had her eye on it.

How many antiques did you take with you?

Upon hearing this question, Nozawa Ishiyasu suddenly chuckled and, under their watchful eyes, uttered a number.

"Not many, usually around thirty or forty boxes per transaction!"

Upon seeing Shen Mu Ning, Yan Bin, and the people guarding him, their expressions suddenly changed.

He felt he had finally vented his anger, and he laughed loudly while mocking others.

"Actually, I was quite surprised when I first saw such an antique; however, after the surprise came only joy."

"You don't know that Chinese antiques and cultural relics are very popular not only in Japan, but also in other countries."

When he first came to China to trade, he was indifferent to it.

At that time, many conflicts arose because they wanted to avoid the Chinese navy and border troops.

He arrived at Yuwei Village despite the pressure, and was overjoyed to see so many exquisite antiques.

If it weren't for the presence of Xue Tu and the others, he would have loved to kiss those antiques.

They then carefully brought the antiques back to their country, and as expected, they were sought after by many high-society people and prominent families.

Those who came with him were all rewarded by the family.

Since then, their deal has been finalized.

Later, to ease their anxiety, they bribed border guards and naval personnel, on the advice of Xue Tu and others.

This will allow them to enter China as freely as if they were walking into their own backyard.

"Even if there are people like you who protect our country, so what? As long as there are interests involved, there will be people who will take risks."

"Like your antiques and artifacts, don't people sell them to us by the box? Hahahaha!"

Ye Ze Shi An seemed to really enjoy seeing Yan Bin and Shen Mu Ning's sullen faces.

Knowing their sore spots, they relentlessly poked at them and relentlessly mocked them.

Seeing his arrogant demeanor, the soldiers standing to the side couldn't stop their hands from trembling.

I just wanted to slap him a few times before continuing the interrogation.

"Ha, even with these traitors around, our China will still stand tall."

"But you, even if we spread the news of your capture by China to Japan now, do you think the Nozawa family will come to your rescue?"

"Or should we immediately remove you from the family and announce it to the world?"

Although Shen Mu Ning truly hated those who betrayed their country for their own benefit.

But in any case, China is a great and powerful nation, and it is not up to someone like Nozawa Ishian to mock it.

Since she's trying to touch a raw nerve, then don't blame her for being ruthless.

Upon hearing these words, Nozawa Ishian's expression changed instantly, his previous arrogance vanished.

"It seems you are well aware of your family's practices?"

Hearing such sharp words, Nozawa Ishian lowered his eyes.

As Sun Wu, Ji Heng, and others watched the interrogation, their anger gradually subsided under her words.

If Shen Mu Ning hadn't spoken up first, several people here would have wanted to storm into the interrogation room and give Ye Ze Shi An a good beating.

Fortunately, Comrade Xiao Shen managed to suppress this person's arrogance.

Sun Wu looked at Shen Mu Ning, who was sitting to the side and didn't say much, and felt that his granddaughter was exactly his type.

The interrogation continued, and it's unclear whether Nozawa Ishian was affected by the ordeal.

He answered all of Yan Bin's questions, whether he knew the answers or not.

Of course, this also includes the border guards and naval personnel they bribed.

However, Shen Mu Ning keenly noticed that among the people he mentioned, Nozawa Shinji spoke very little.

It seems this person's secrets are more worthy of discovery than the person in front of us.
