Chapter 316 Cultural Relics
"This is the trouble that exceptionally outstanding people will bring." Chen Zhuyi did not feel much guilt about this. He touched his chin and felt a little complacent.
The silly words completely soothed Huo Jinzhi's fatigue during this period. He curled his lips slightly, with a hint of smile in his eyes.
After running around for the past few days, his body was already on the verge of collapse. Smelling the familiar scent, Huo Jinzhi gradually fell asleep.
Chen Zhuyi leaned against him and found a comfortable angle, but in his mind he was weighing what he could do next until he fell asleep in a daze.
It was bright outside and there was a knock on the door. Huo Jinzhi quickly opened his eyes and looked at the little woman snuggling beside him with a slightly frown, but the smile in his eyes became even more intense.
He carefully pulled Chen Zhuyi's hand down and put it aside before going to open the door.
"Someone came outside and said they have something important to discuss with you. I have already prepared breakfast and left it outside."
Aunt Zhang spoke in a low voice, fearing to disturb the young couple who had not seen each other for a long time.
"When Yiyi wakes up, let her have a good rest at home. We will bring you good news later." Huo Jinzhi nodded to show his understanding and gave soft advice.
He hurriedly grabbed a big meat bun and went out immediately. It was almost time now, and some people might be getting impatient waiting.
When Mrs. Cai saw Huo Jinzhi coming, she felt like she had found her backbone and stared at him expectantly: "As long as I do what you say, my family won't be harmed, right?"
"It depends on your performance. If you can follow the clues and find more enemies, you will make a great contribution." Huo Jinzhi replied casually.
People like Mrs. Cai don't have much courage and are blinded by money. Even if they are caught, it won't cause too much impact and they will just be given a few words of warning.
Anyway, it won’t really affect the whole family.
Now, Huo Jinzhi was just threatening Mrs. Cai. She wiped away her tears and her expression gradually became firm.
At about the same time as yesterday, a few people came over and went to find Mrs. Cai with a smile on their faces. They were holding a basket with some vegetables on the surface, with a little bit of the plastic bag sticking out.
"This is the money we gave you. We hope you can help us deliver the gift so that the old man can understand our intentions."
The leading man spoke with a smile.
Mrs. Cai thought of Huo Jinzhi's words and took the initiative to play it by her own will. After a few casual tugs, she said disdainfully, "With such a small thing, you still want to bribe our old man?"
She confiscated it and didn't even want the money, which made her feel confident.
"These are not treasures that ordinary people can afford. You..." The curse circled in the man's mouth. Thinking that they needed help from others, he didn't dare to say it out loud, and his face turned ashen.
"You, an old lady, must also learn to be content. The money we have is not blown by the wind."
"But when our old man opens his mouth, there are countless people willing to come and give gifts. What you can offer is too little."
Mrs. Cai didn't dare to look around, but she believed that these people might have good things in their hands. She clenched her fingers into fists, which were covered by her sleeves.
"I don't want these... I'll come back tonight. If you can't surprise me, our cooperation will be invalid."
After she finished speaking, she glanced around again, not caring about the difference between men and women, and pulled the ear of the leading man, pretending to be ferocious, and lowered her voice.
"Don't say grandma treats you badly. That old woman has embezzled so much money from others that she even has a room in her house dedicated to displaying her calligraphy and paintings!"
"I saw the shelf too. It's made of pure gold and even painted a little bit to prevent anyone from discovering it!"
When the leading man heard this, his expression suddenly changed.
Could it be that this Mr. Huo is really as he claims to be?
In this case, the little bit they gave was not enough.
"Recently, many people have asked me to deliver things. I'll return your money to you. They offer a higher price."
Mrs. Cai gritted her teeth, took out her private money to pay the bill, and then turned around and left.
There were a few younger brothers around Huo Jinzhi who wanted to step forward, but when they saw this scene, they were all at a loss.
"They're pretty smart. If they're not completely sure, they'll have to find something better to send over. I'll go follow them."
Huo Jinzhi's eyes lit up.
No matter what Mrs. Cai's idea was, now they had to find a place to store their things and replenish new stock, which actually made it easier for their investigation.
This method is naturally faster than interrogation by means of tactics.
"Okay." The comrade following Huo Jinzhi agreed and watched him leave alone.
After following the traces of several people and circling around for several times, Huo Jinzhi finally found the place where they stopped, which was a scrap collection station.
There are a lot of messy things inside, plus the garbage is mixed together and it stinks extremely bad, so naturally no one wants to set foot here easily.
Because of this, many times they cannot find the problem even if they conduct a thorough investigation.
He took a few glances and did not act on his own. He immediately called the young comrade who was following him and the nearby police to come over.
The plan was progressing in an orderly manner. As soon as the men who were counting things in the underground warehouse came out, they were pointed at the black muzzle of a gun.
Huo Jinzhi exuded a cold murderous aura that was chilling.
"Think carefully about how to exonerate yourself and how much you need to confess. Otherwise, we will dig out everyone behind you and send you all to hell!"
After giving the warning, he waved his hand, and the people who were originally tied up together left one after another.
There are so many good things inside that it is hard to take your eyes off. Some of the antique treasures have been dismantled into several layers and are completely ruined!
People from the Cultural Relics Restoration Bureau came over and were so angry when they saw so many things.
"What a pity! What a pity!"
Even if they were recovered, many of them were damaged, and some even had dark water marks on them due to improper storage.
The ink painting spread out and many things became unclear.
"What a waste! These beasts deserve to die! Besides this, they must have found more things that can be moved out at a constant speed!"
Deputy Director Liu was still cursing and almost crying with anger, but he didn't stop working and called someone to send a group of people over.
Box after box of cultural relics were shipped back. After Huo Jinzhi finished counting them, he was shocked by the number, but he did not forget his business: "We have a few paintings at home too. We'd like to take this opportunity to donate them all."
Anything that could potentially cause disaster just needed to be sent away as quickly as possible; he couldn't do anything else.
