Chapter 746 The Relationship between Zhao Quan's Family and Li Rui
Ye Rou woke up early in the morning and as soon as she arrived at the dining room, she saw Wang Honghong and Zhou Liang there, eating voraciously.
When they saw Ye Rou come in, the two of them had their mouths full and greeted her vaguely.
"sister in law!"
"Sister-in-law, good morning!"
Seeing that there were dark circles under their eyes, as if they had not slept all night, Ye Rou did not disturb them while they were eating, intending to wait until they had finished eating before asking them.
At this moment, Tang Panxia also entered the dining room.
She has abandoned her previous elegant outfit of cheongsam and high heels and dressed neatly and simply, which makes her look much more energetic than before.
My aunt used to look like Lin Daiyu, but now she looks like Hua Mulan.
"Aunt." Ye Rou greeted with a smile.
"Xiao Rou." Tang Panxia sat beside Ye Rou and started eating breakfast.
Wait until everyone has almost finished eating.
Wang Honghong chewed the last bun and swallowed it whole. She choked and coughed, then drank a bowl of soy milk. Only then did she feel full. She wiped her mouth and said to Ye Rou, "We caught him."
Zhou Liang nodded and continued, "He's locked up in the yard next door. That grandson ran so fast that he almost slipped away."
Wang Honghong and Ye Rou talked about the details of what happened last night.
After Hu Xing explained the specific transaction process, Ye Rou gave up the idea of calling the police to avoid alerting the suspect.
Use Hu Xing as bait and let him take the painting to trade normally.
It was obvious that these people were veterans. The agreed location was open on the west side, so even if they encountered an accident, they could easily evacuate.
As agreed, Hu Xing threw the package containing the calligraphy and paintings on the roadside and turned away.
Wang Honghong and Zhou Liang waited until midnight before someone came.
He was dressed in black, with a felt hat propped against his head so his face couldn't be seen. He walked slowly with his hands in his pockets, pretending to accidentally find a package, picked it up and ran away!
Wang Honghong and Zhou Liang ran after him, and fortunately they brought many people with them, so they finally stopped the enemy.
After saying that, Wang Honghong and Zhou Liang wanted to take Ye Rou to see the person who was captured.
Tang Panxia glanced at Ye Rou's belly, put down the bowl, and took the initiative to say, "Xiao Rou, I'll go with you."
"OK."
The Westerner entered the next yard.
The yard next door was under construction. Grandma Gao was watching over here. When she saw Ye Rou coming, she greeted her slowly and then hid away.
Mrs. Gao is an introvert, and everyone is used to it.
There were a lot of construction materials piled up in the yard, making it a mess. Tang Panxia was afraid that Ye Rou would trip, so she didn't let her in.
Wang Honghong went in and dragged the man out.
After a while, Wang Honghong grabbed a man by the collar and dragged him out.
The man had a pointed face and was thin and small. His facial features were ordinary and unremarkable. His mouth was blocked and his hands were tied. He couldn't run away, but he was very dishonest and kept struggling.
Wang Honghong's clothes were covered with shoe prints. She kicked someone, patted her clothes in disgust, and raised her fist at the person, threatening: "If you don't behave, I'll tear out your teeth."
The man was frightened and squatted on the ground with his hands behind his back, panting with exhaustion. He became more obedient.
Zhou Liang asked Ye Rou, "Sister-in-law, we asked him last night, but he was so stubborn that he refused to tell us anything and insisted that you come."
Zhou Liang remembered very clearly what his sister-in-law had asked Hu Xing to tell him last night with a golden needle.
Ye Rou was about to agree when her wrist was suddenly pulled.
Ye Rou turned her head and saw her aunt staring at the squatting person with a look of surprise and doubt.
"Aunt, what's wrong?"
Tang Panxia retracted her gaze, approached Ye Rou and whispered, "Xiao Rou, come out with me for a moment."
Ye Rou didn't understand what was going on, but she still followed her aunt out.
As soon as they left, Tang Panxia immediately said, "I know who that person is. I've seen him!"
Ye Rou was shocked when she heard that.
Tang Panxia continued, "Before Zhao Quan and his family returned, I was guarding outside the old house. I remember this person very clearly. He came several times."
"Later, after Zhao Quan and his family returned, this man came again, but mostly in the evening or later. I remember him because he always carried a box."
After hearing what her aunt said, Ye Rou understood everything.
No wonder Zhao Quan, who has always been cautious, was willing to return to Beijing despite the risk of having his identity exposed. It turned out that he did so to smuggle cultural relics!
Ye Rou made a bold guess based on the information her aunt had previously obtained.
Zhao Quan pretended to be Tang Panxia's father while abroad and took possession of the Tang family's property. After squandering it all over the years, he came up with the idea of smuggling cultural relics by chance.
No wonder he let his sister pretend to be his wife. It turned out that they had no intention of staying for long. Perhaps they would go abroad after getting these cultural relics.
Jiang Chen said that Li Rui was engaged in the business of smuggling cultural relics. This was also true according to Officer Cheng's investigation. It was true that Li Rui used ships to smuggle cultural relics, but the key evidence was lacking.
Officer Cheng led his men to track the whereabouts of Li Rui and his men in Beijing, but they never found any evidence of smuggling cultural relics.
Perhaps, the root cause is that Li Rui is only responsible for transporting cultural relics abroad, while Zhao Quan is the one responsible for collecting cultural relics!
Then what happened to Zhou Liang's family makes sense.
The front door of Zhou Liang's house faces the side back door of Tang's house. There are only two families in that alley. It was originally an extremely hidden route for transporting things, but because of Zhou Liang's family, it became a hidden danger.
The Tang family wanted to use the "falling into the water" incident to drive Zhou Liang's family away. In this way, without anyone watching them, they could transport the cultural relics boldly.
But there was one thing Ye Rou couldn't understand.
Tang Panxia saw Ye Rou frowning and asked her what she was thinking about.
Ye Rou told her guess truthfully.
Tang Panxia nodded after hearing this.
Ye Rou frowned slightly and expressed her confusion: "Aunt, how did Zhao Quan's family get in touch with Li Rui?"
Such a dangerous cooperation would never be possible without an unbreakable relationship.
How could Li Rui, such a cautious person, be willing to let Zhao Quan's family collect the cultural relics?
Tang Panxia pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, "Maybe I know the reason."
Ye Rou asked hurriedly: "Aunt, what do you know?"
"I've been asking about their family for a while now. It seems that the wife Zhao Quan's son married has the surname Li."
Last name: Li...
Ye Rou calculated her age.
Li Rui and Qu Zhi are of the same age, but Li Rui is older than my aunt.
Housekeeper Zhao's son and my aunt are about the same age, so...
Ye Rou widened her eyes slightly and thought of someone.
Li Guang married two wives successively. Li Rui was the son born to his first wife, and his second wife gave birth to a girl.
This girl might have married Zhao Quan's son!
No wonder Li Rui trusts Zhao Quan's family.
After all, it’s my sister’s in-laws’ family…
Then everything makes sense.
According to what Jiang Chen said last night, after Li Rui realized the risks of smuggling people, he gradually stopped this business and turned his attention to reselling cultural relics.
After Li Rui's sister found out, she probably also wanted to get a piece of the pie, so she brought the Zhao family on board.
That's why Zhao Quan and his family suddenly returned to China!
