Chapter 749 Private Cultural Relics Appreciation Meeting
Li Cheng!
For a moment, it was as if a huge hand was clutching the mute woman's heart. Amid the rustling of leaves in the wind, the mute woman's eyes danced with bloodthirsty flames.
"Suddenly mentioning him," the mute woman said in a hoarse voice, "Miss Ye, have you seen him?"
Ye Rou nodded.
The mute woman trembled slightly.
Ye Rou thought she was afraid, but when she looked closely she found that she was trembling with excitement.
She paced back and forth in front of the bamboo chair, her body shaking more and more violently.
"I've been looking for him all these years... I was about to give up... but God opened his eyes and let me meet him again."
As the mute woman was talking, she suddenly laughed.
The three scars on her face were self-inflicted, extending from her right temple to below her left ear bone. The knife marks were neat, and it was obvious that she had no hesitation when she did it.
It was like a beast's claws scratched her face so hard that the bone was visible, tearing her face in half, looking hideous and terrifying.
This wound will always remind the mute woman to never forget this hatred.
Her tone was exceptionally calm, more calm than Ye Rou had expected.
The mute woman asked, "Where is he now?"
Ye Rou had no choice but to explain the whole story, and finally said: "He has now been transferred back to Jing City and serves as the deputy mayor."
"Deputy mayor?" The mute woman laughed, her laughter sharp and chilling. "A man like that serving as deputy mayor... God, you have no eyes."
She was so angry that the scars on her face turned red, like scarlet magma slowly flowing from the cracks in the ground.
"Mute, calm down." Ye Rou advised her: "I know you hate him, but he is the deputy mayor now, so we need to think carefully."
"Let's discuss this in the long run?" The mute woman smiled at Ye Rou. The smile was strange and Ye Rou did not understand what it meant.
When Ye Rou was at a loss, the mute woman suddenly came forward and helped her sit down.
She said calmly, "Miss Ye, don't worry, I know my limits and I will remain calm."
"I just scared you... I was just too excited when I heard the news about him... Don't worry, I won't do anything now..."
"It's been so long, I've come to terms with it... Besides, I drugged their family back then, so it was revenge. I won't do anything..."
Ye Rou felt something was wrong.
The mute woman was framed by Li Cheng's family. After she got married, she worked hard to take care of Li Cheng's family. Not only did she not receive any thanks, but she was also framed and forced to commit adultery and lose her innocence. Her parents were driven to death by the rumors, and she almost committed suicide.
Will the hatred of a broken family disappear with time?
But when she wanted to ask, the mute woman refused to say anything. She carried the tray and left, talking to herself.
Ye Rou only heard her say: "I am already very lucky."
Why is it lucky?
Ye Rou couldn't understand.
She was thinking about calling Jiang Chen in the evening to ask for help when Tang Panxia suddenly rushed into the inner courtyard. She was holding a letter in her hand and was so anxious that she didn't look at her feet and almost tripped.
Ye Rou was frightened and tried to stand up, holding her stomach, but Tang Panxia pushed her back down.
The second time!
I turned around and threw away this broken chair.
Tang Panxia held up the letter in her hand and shouted, "Zhao Quan actually invited my father's old friend in my father's name..."
She was so angry that she couldn't make any sound for a while.
Ye Rou quickly signaled her to calm down, took the letter and unfolded it to read its contents.
"I have opened a refined abode in my humble home, where I have collected over the years gold and stone artifacts, calligraphy and paintings, porcelain and jade... They are not rare treasures, but they are the product of my painstaking efforts... The joy of enjoying them alone is not as great as the pleasure of sharing them with others... Since you are a connoisseur, I take the liberty of inviting you to bring your collection... I hope you will not refuse. It would be a great honor!"
After reading it, Ye Rou raised an eyebrow and asked, "Does he want to hold a private collection of cultural relics appreciation meeting?"
Tang Panxia nodded. "My father especially likes to collect calligraphy, paintings, and books. Most of his old friends are also great collectors. I'm afraid..."
Ye Rou understood what her aunt meant.
Wu Xi did not return on time, which had already alerted the enemy.
Zhao Quan and his family probably wanted to make a big profit before leaving.
It was difficult to take action against official museums, and the police were keeping a close eye on the smuggling of cultural relics, so they set their sights on holding appreciation meetings.
If something unexpected happened at the meeting and one or two collections were lost, as long as they acted cautiously and there was no evidence, and with Li Cheng backing them up, the police would be unable to do anything to them.
How could Tang Panxia tolerate them doing such sneaky things in the name of her father?
"This appreciation meeting cannot be held, it absolutely cannot be held!"
Ye Rou disagreed with her.
She held her aunt in her arms, calming her down, and waited until she calmed down before saying, "Why don't we take advantage of their trick? This way... if everything goes well, we might be able to catch them all in one fell swoop."
Tang Panxia widened her eyes slightly and hesitated, "Is it possible?"
"The key to the smooth implementation of the plan lies in Principal Ji," Ye Rou said.
Tang Panxia hesitated for a moment, then remained silent for a moment. Then she raised her head and said firmly, "Okay, I'll go talk to him!"
After her aunt left, Ye Rou lay back on the bamboo chair, swaying with a sly smile on her lips, like a little fox stealing some fish.
There will be something exciting to watch soon, and it would be a pity for Jiang Chen to miss it.
But it doesn’t matter, she can tell Jiang Chen.
