Chapter 465 Brotherly Fight
"That's because, if it weren't for Nie Yao, I would never have known the origin of this so-called heirloom!"
Li Jinxing frowned and asked with a sneer, "Or, brother, do you know it yourself?"
"Of course this is a family heirloom passed down by our Li family ancestors!" Li Yaofeng answered without hesitation.
"Then I want to ask, big brother, how did this precious artifact from the Pharaoh period of the 18th Dynasty of Ancient Egypt become a family heirloom of our Li family?"
After Li Jinxing said this, he saw his elder brother Li Yaofeng fell silent for a moment. He hesitated for a moment, and a sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
"Brother, you can't explain it either? Could it be that this family heirloom of ours was not obtained legitimately, and was bought from tomb robbers? Or maybe one of our ancestors was in this business?"
"Shut up!" Li Yaofeng was angered by Li Jinxing's words and shouted, "Li Jinxing, do you know what you are talking about? Our Li family's ancestors, every generation, have done business with integrity. How can you slander us?"
Li Yaofeng was obviously very angry about what Li Jinxing said, and his hand that was pointing at Li Jinxing was shaking slightly.
Nie Yao hadn't expected the two Li brothers to quarrel like this. She quickly squeezed Li Jinxing's palm to calm him down, then said earnestly to Li Yaofeng, "Mr. Li, I know you're angry, but I still want to correct what Li Jinxing said just now. This matter is not completely unrelated to me!"
Li Yaofeng's chest was still heaving violently due to his previous anger. When he heard Nie Yao say this, his eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.
"Now you admit it?" Li Yaofeng asked with a sneer.
"Yaoyao—" Li Jinxing frowned slightly, wanting to say something, but Nie Yao shook her head and smiled soothingly at him. She nodded to Li Yaofeng and replied calmly, "I'm not going to deny it, but even though this matter is related to me, I don't want you to look down on me and think that I'm using Li Jinxing and relying on him to obtain archaeological resources!"
Nie Yao stopped talking here.
Li Yaofeng smiled noncommittally, obviously not believing Nie Yao's explanation, but he did not interrupt her in the end.
Seeing that Li Yaofeng still had the patience to listen to her explanation, Nie Yao breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "In the beginning, Li Jinxing took the blueprint of this artifact and asked Director Chen to figure it out. Director Chen was old and busy, so he gave this task to me..."
She glanced at Li Jinxing with a smile and continued patiently, "I received Li Jinxing's instructions, and even didn't tell my adoptive father. I had been secretly looking for possible information about this cultural relic, and it wasn't until a while ago that I suddenly found the answer!"
"Is this the reason why you urged him to take out this cultural relic and donate it for free?" Li Yaofeng raised his eyebrows and asked with a sneer.
"Of course not..." Nie Yao shook her head and said in a deep voice, "At first, I didn't know that this artifact was actually your Li family's heirloom. It wasn't until later when Li Jinxing was in danger and was targeted by someone who was well prepared that we discovered that the group hiding behind the scenes was just trying to steal this artifact!"
After she said this, she saw that Li Jinxing's elder brother had not spoken a word, and she didn't know whether he believed what she said, but she didn't intend to hold back what she had to say, and she had to explain it clearly.
