Yi Hai's temper flared, and his impulsive tone betrayed his anger: "Take it or leave it, it's not like we can't find another place, what a load of rubbish—"
Before he could finish speaking, a gun barrel was pressed against his forehead. "Try saying another word."
Yi Hai felt as if a rag was stuck in his throat, his pupils contracted violently, and he was so frightened that his legs trembled and he almost wet his pants on the spot.
That's robbery!
If the gun were to accidentally fire while pressed against his head, wouldn't he be doomed?
“Mr. C, my second brother did not mean to offend you.” Cold sweat broke out on Boss Yi’s forehead. “Please check the goods; there is absolutely no fraud.”
"Boss Yi is the best at this." Mr. C nodded in satisfaction, walked to the rows of boxes containing cultural relics, and gave his men behind him a wink.
His men immediately stepped forward and opened the box. Mr. C then walked over and examined each box.
He seemed to have some knowledge of cultural relics, confirming the past of each piece before finally turning his attention away.
“Great, this is exactly what I want.”
The three Yi brothers breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, "Then our money..."
Mr. C said calmly, "With such an exorbitant price, I can't possibly carry over box after box of banknotes for you. We wouldn't even be able to fill a warehouse. If it takes a whole day and night to transport them and the police find out, then things will get interesting."
"That……"
"Don't worry!" Mr. C had already thought it through. "You can open the messages and check the bank card's transaction history."
Upon hearing this, the three brothers immediately took out their phones, which displayed dozens of unread messages.
Upon opening them, I saw that they were all bank transfer notifications, and I watched as my balance went from four zeros to eight, nine, and ten zeros.
That's tens of billions!
They had never seen so much money in their lives, and their eyes shone with excitement; they were overwhelmed with happiness.
All material possessions are illusory; only money is real.
If I had known they had already made the deal, I wouldn't be so troubled by money.
"Now, you have no objections, right?" Mr. C's low, cold, ghostly voice rang out in the night wind, yet it was even more chilling than the night wind itself.
The three Yi brothers quickly assured him, "No! Mr. C, rest assured, it's cash on delivery, and we won't interfere with each other. We understand the industry rules."
Mr. C seemed quite pleased with their knowledge and understanding.
A transaction involving the sale of cultural relics took place right under Yi Tianran's nose.
She hadn't expected the trader to be carrying a gun. What about his men? They probably had guns hidden on them too.
In China, this would be considered an illegal act.
This group of people is probably quite dangerous.
Just one more step and we'd be able to uncover Mr. C's true colors. Yi Tianran didn't want to give up.
Moreover, there are armed police officers waiting outside.
Having thought this through, she had already made up her mind.
As she watched Mr. C instruct his men to begin moving the boxes containing the artifacts, her eyes narrowed. Just as she was about to give the order, she saw Mr. C wave his hand, revealing a jade thumb ring on his finger.
Her expression froze.
When she saw the jade thumb ring's appearance, color, and tiny chip through the night vision goggles, her expression changed drastically.
This jade thumb ring looks so familiar!
In her entire life, she had only ever seen this in one person.
Teacher Donald once told her that when he was young, he and his team members had visited a royal tomb.
When they entered, they explored for three days and three nights before escaping. During the journey, they unexpectedly found a jade thumb ring, which is the one Mr. C is wearing.
This certainly doesn't mean that Mr. C is Donald.
Yi Tianran recognized her mentor's appearance and figure. Besides, they were quite far apart in age.
What shocked her was that her teacher had kept this jade thumb ring on his person for many years and almost never took it off.
This time, however, it ended up in the hands of Mr. C.
The greatest possibility means that—
Mr. Donald is in Mr. C's hands.
There is no other possibility.
If she were to take the risk now and get everyone to arrest Mr. C and the three Yi brothers, then it would be very likely that she would never be able to find her teacher again.
Unless we let him go and play the long game, we can catch a bigger fish.
The storm on my forehead lasted no more than ten seconds.
Yi Tianran didn't have any extra time to let herself get caught up in her own thoughts.
She finally made a decision, saying into the earpiece: "The enemy is armed, and the level of danger is unknown. We should retreat for now."
This group of people were acting on Shen Manqing's orders and obeying Yi Tianran's arrangements.
Even if they waited all night only to have it end so hastily, they wouldn't have any complaints.
As for the police force, Fu Yunchen explained that.
...
Returning home late at night, Yi Tianran sighed deeply and leaned against Fu Yunchen's chest. "I'm sorry, Mr. Fu, I feel like I've caused you trouble."
She felt quite guilty that the hardworking police officers had informed her that she had made a wasted trip.
"You don't need to apologize to me." Fu Yunchen gently stroked her cheek. "I trust your choice."
Yi Tianran felt a warmth in her heart and couldn't help but tell Fu Yunchen about her guesses from tonight. "Actually, I've been looking for my teacher's whereabouts all along, but I haven't made any progress. Am I being selfish by letting them take the cultural relics away like this?"
Fu Yunchen narrowed his dark eyes slightly and said seriously, "Without you, I'm afraid no one would have discovered the whereabouts of these cultural relics, and they would never have been found in their lifetime."
You're just playing the long game. There might be more secrets hidden behind him. It won't be too late to investigate thoroughly, catch him in the act, and retrieve all the artifacts.
Yi Tianran was stunned for a moment, and was actually persuaded by his words.
yes!
It's not like she can't get it back.
Now that she has discovered them, she will never tolerate those thieves.
Letting them go this time doesn't mean we'll never get them back.
The nation's treasures must never be taken away.
Yi Tianran's emotions gradually faded, and she couldn't help but kiss Fu Yunchen, saying sweetly, "You are my darling, the one who will always understand me the most."
Fu Yunchen raised an eyebrow and said in an ambiguous tone, "Now you finally admit that Donald is your teacher."
"Uh..." Yi Tianran immediately felt guilty.
Back then, wasn't it precisely because she was searching for her teacher's whereabouts that she stayed by Fu Yunchen's side and even offered to be his personal assistant?
Now that he's been exposed, his brain is momentarily blank.
Fu Yunchen suddenly let go of her and went upstairs past her.
Yi Tianran was completely bewildered.
Is he angry?
How can I appease her?
Just as Yi Tianran was pondering a plan, Fu Yunchen came downstairs again, this time carrying a laptop.
He walked straight to Yi Tianran and sat down next to her. After turning on the computer and operating it for a couple of minutes, he opened an interface and placed it in front of her.
