Chapter 294: Substitution
Ling Yao and Lu Qingyun are packing their luggage. They are leaving Hong Kong City to return to the mainland tonight.
"Knock, knock, knock!" There is a knock on the door.
Lu Qingyun stops what he is doing and walks forward to open the door.
Outside the door are Huo Tingshen and Huo Lingyu, father and son.
Seeing Lu Qingyun open the door, Huo Tingshen smiles and greets Lu Qingyun: "Mr. Lu! Is Miss Ling here?" He already knows that his son's motorcycle was tampered with. It was Wang Jian who bought Lingyu's men and planned to let Lingyu have an accident in this competition.
If it weren't for Ling Yao, he would have to send off the black-haired man this time. He only has this one son. If he loses it, he will definitely be devastated. Regardless of whether someone in the Huo family will covet his position as the head of the Huo family, the Wang family will definitely take the opportunity to attack the Huo family, so he plans to strike first.
"Yes, come in." Lu Qingyun stepped aside to let the Huo family father and son in.
Huo Tingshen and Huo Lingyu walked into the room and saw the suitcase on the ground at a glance.
"Are you leaving Hong Kong City?" Huo Lingyu asked in surprise.
Ling Yao nodded, "We will go back tonight." Qingyun's business in Hong Kong City has been handled, and they will take a plane back to the mainland tonight.
"If you don't have any urgent matters when you return to the mainland, you might as well stay for a few more days, so that we can show our hospitality and take you to visit the beautiful scenery of the port city and taste the food here." Huo Tingshen said. This time Ling Yao and his friends saved his son, and he didn't have time to thank them properly.
"No, we have something to do when we go back, next time." Ling Yao smiled and declined. Her eleventh holiday is over, and she has to go back to school.
Hearing this, Huo Tingshen and Huo Lingyu didn't keep him anymore.
"Then next time you come to the port city, you must call us in advance."
"Okay." Ling Yao nodded.
"By the way, we have a gift for you. The gift is in the car. Let's go out and have a look." Huo Tingshen pointed outside.
"No need for gifts." Ling Yao shook her head and refused. She helped Huo Lingyu just because she didn't want to see a young talented racing driver fall.
"You will definitely like that gift." Huo Lingyu looked mysterious.
Huo Ting nodded in deep approval, "Let's go and take a look." He had treasured that gift for many years. If Ling Yao and Lu Qingyun hadn't saved his son this time, he would never have been willing to give it away.
Seeing that the hospitality was hard to refuse, Ling Yao and Lu Qingyun followed the Huo family father and son and walked outside.
Arriving at the parking lot outside the hotel, Huo Lingyu asked the driver to open the trunk of the car.
As the trunk opened, a half-person-high wooden box appeared in front of Ling Yao and Lu Qingyun.
Huo Lingyu went forward and opened the wooden box. Inside was a bronze horse head. It was exquisitely crafted and lifelike. The eyes, mouth opening, and ears were all natural and lifelike. The hair was also depicted in great detail. The natural stacking and smooth organization of the mane were even more amazing.
Ling Yao and Lu Qingyun recognized at a glance that this was a treasure of the Dragon Kingdom, the bronze horse head statue of the twelve zodiac animals in the Old Summer Palace.
"I bought this horse head at an auction. I know it is a national treasure, so I have always wanted to send it back to my motherland. But for various reasons, I have not been able to do so. Today I plan to give it to you, and I hope you can fulfill this wish for me and return it to my motherland." Huo Ting looked at Ling Yao and Lu Qingyun sincerely.
The reason why he chose to let Ling Yao and Lu Qingyun fulfill this wish for him was to thank them for saving his son, and also because he had always been concerned about his motherland. He was looking forward to the day when Hong Kong City returned to the embrace of his motherland.
"I thank Mr. Huo for his righteousness on behalf of the country!" Lu Qingyun saluted Huo Tingshen.
Huo Tingshen smiled and shook his head, "Don't thank me, as long as you are a Dragon Countryman, I believe you will do this. This is the certificate of the bronze statue of the horse head, and there is also a donation book. I have signed the donation agreement and the formalities have been completed."
Huo Tingshen handed a stack of certificates to Lu Qingyun, "Mr. Lu! Miss Ling! Thank you for saving Ling Yu. You must come to our Huo family as guests when you come to Hong Kong City in the future."
"Okay, we will definitely go." Ling Yao and Lu Qingyun smiled and nodded.
Huo Tingshen asked someone to move the bronze statue out of the car, and was about to tell someone to move the bronze statue to Lu Qingyun and Ling Yao's room.
"Don't bother, we'll do it ourselves." Lu Qingyun said as he bent down and easily lifted the wooden box containing the bronze statue.
Seeing this, Huo Tingshen laughed, "Then we'll go back first, and wish you a safe journey!"
"Thank you! Goodbye!" Ling Yao waved to the two of them, and after watching them get in the car, she and Lu Qingyun returned to the hotel room.
In the night, several luxury cars stopped at the door of the Imperial Hotel.
Ling Yao and Lu Qingyun walked out of the hotel and got into the car that came to pick them up with several officials who went to the port city with them.
The car started slowly and headed towards the airport.
In less than an hour, the car arrived at the airport. From a distance, a military plane was already waiting there.
They had their luggage loaded onto the plane, and Lu Qingyun and Ling Yao boarded. However, they did not notice that the wooden box containing the bronze horse head statue had been replaced silently.
The plane slowly took off into the sky and flew steadily among the clouds.
Wang Jian received a call from his men, and a triumphant smile appeared on his lips, "Well done! I wonder what their expressions will be when they go back and find that the wooden box is filled with a pile of scrap copper and iron?"
"Have someone send the wooden box to me."
Not long after, a black car stopped at the door of Wang Jian's villa, and two men in black walked into the villa carrying a box.
Wang Jian saw the big wooden box, laughed, walked forward and opened the box. When he saw the things inside, his face suddenly changed, and he was about to ask someone to dispose of the things.
At this time, a burst of footsteps outside the door interrupted his thoughts.
He turned his head and saw more than a dozen policemen rushing in.
Before Wang Jian could react, he was pressed to the ground.
"Mr. Wang, you are suspected of drug trafficking, murder and other crimes. Please come back with us to assist in the investigation."
"Let me go. Do you know who I am? I want to call my lawyer." Wang Jian shouted and struggled. He was the son of the Wang family. When had he ever suffered such humiliation?
The police officer showed an expressionless face and took out a pair of silver bracelets and handcuffed them on Wang Jian's hands. "You have the right to remain silent, but everything you say will become evidence in court."
