Huo Nanchu led more than ten people to Haikou, and things went exceptionally smoothly.
They had been using Huo's cargo ship to smuggle cultural relics for quite some time, and no one had noticed until now. Gradually, they became bolder. Of the twenty-odd people on the ship, only two were responsible for smuggling cultural relics.
Upon arriving at their destination, Huo Nanchu and his group quickly brought everyone under control, effortlessly located the artifacts, and then called the police.
Law enforcement officers interrogated the ship's workers and eventually identified two problematic dockworkers, and quickly began their investigation.
...
That afternoon, the sun shone brightly and a gentle breeze was blowing.
"Xinxin, Ningning, we're getting ready to return to Beijing. Go and pack your luggage." Zhao Qiuying gently instructed.
"Okay, Mom!" Huo Jinning replied, reluctantly putting down the crystal-clear cherry in her hand, and then slowly getting up.
At the same time, Huo Jinxin also tried to stand up from the sofa and replied, "Okay, I'll be right there."
Huo Chengyu, who was sitting to the side eating sunflower seeds, deliberately complained, "Why didn't you hear me being called? Did you forget about me?"
"How could that be? Third Brother, I was just about to call you." Huo Jinxin replied understandingly, and waved to Huo Chengyu to signal them to set off together.
"Haha, my sister still loves me the most!" Huo Chengyu was overjoyed after receiving his sister's response.
He immediately stood up and casually patted Huo Jinxin's head affectionately.
However, at this moment, Huo Jinning's mind was not on the brother and sister at all. All her attention was focused on Aunt Zhong, and she did not notice the warm interaction between the two at all.
Huo Jinning quickly ran to Zhao Qiuying's side and asked anxiously, "Mom, has Aunt Zhong agreed to come back to Beijing with us?"
“Sigh…” Zhao Qiuying sighed helplessly and raised her voice to answer, “Not yet. Your Aunt Zhong is about to resign and go back to her hometown.”
Upon hearing this answer, Huo Jinning showed a disappointed expression, but quickly recovered.
At this moment, Aunt Zhong said with a kind smile, "Thank you for your concern and affection, young lady, but I'm getting old and just want to return to my hometown to enjoy my old age."
"But..." Huo Jinning was about to say something when Zhao Qiuying interrupted him.
"Ningning, Aunt Zhong has worked her whole life, it's time for her to rest. Don't be so willful," Zhao Qiuying said gently, not forgetting to tug at Huo Jinning.
“Aunt Zhong, you go down first! I’ll talk to her,” Zhao Qiuying said.
"Yes, madam." Aunt Zhong turned and left.
"Mom...she..."
"The law enforcement officers on your brother's side have found a clue that seems to be related to this Aunt Zhong, and also to a pruning worker named Hu Da."
"Your father has already sent people to keep an eye on them, so you must not make any rash moves or alert them," Zhao Qiuying explained to Huo Jinning in a low voice.
"Really?" Huo Jinning asked doubtfully, still somewhat uneasy.
“How could it be fake? Otherwise, I would have spent ten times the usual salary to bring Aunt Zhong back to Beijing. My precious daughter loves her cooking.” Zhao Qiuying said, looking at Huo Jinning with affection.
"That's good, I'm relieved. Thank you, Mom. Actually, Aunt Wang's cooking is quite good too. Hehe." Huo Jinning responded to her mother with a smile.
“You silly child…” Zhao Qiuying reached out and gently tapped Huo Jinning’s forehead.
"What are you two whispering about over there?" Huo Chengyu asked curiously as he approached.
"It's none of your business, go cool off somewhere else." Zhao Qiuying rolled her eyes at him, annoyed.
"Come on, Xin Xin, let's sit in the back row, the three of us can chat." Zhao Qiuying warmly invited Huo Jinning.
"Okay, sure." Huo Jinxin abandoned her third brother without hesitation.
Huo Chengyu watched the three people get into the car...
[I never expected law enforcement officers to be so efficient.]
[They even found out about Aunt Zhong and Hu Da so quickly.]
Thumbs up to law enforcement officers!
[It's truly a blessing to grow up in China.]
My older brother is really amazing; he resolved the matter in no time.
[If anything happens, you still have to rely on my older brother!]
Huo Jinxin didn't get up all morning; I don't know what happened.
Huo Chengyu, I drank a little too much last night, so why can't I keep up this morning?
...
That night, under the cover of darkness, law enforcement officers silently surrounded the basement.
Hu Da and Aunt Zhong, two criminal suspects accused of trafficking in cultural relics, were preparing to load the precious cultural relics onto a truck and transport them out of the country.
Law enforcement officers gripped their pistols tightly, approaching their target step by step. The warehouse was dimly lit, and the atmosphere was unusually tense.
When law enforcement officers stormed into the warehouse, Hu Da and Aunt Zhong were taken aback by the sudden action.
"Don't move!" the law enforcement officer roared. Hu Da and Aunt Zhong looked at the officers in front of them in terror, their bodies trembling.
Law enforcement officers quickly moved in, subdued the two men, and put silver bracelets on them.
During the arrest, some cultural relics were nearly damaged, but law enforcement officers carefully protected these precious cultural heritages.
After a search, law enforcement officers found a large number of cultural relics that had been trafficked. These relics will be sent back to the museum for proper protection and research.
Cultural relics are treasures of human civilization, and any act of trafficking in cultural relics will be severely punished by law.
Not only were a large number of cultural relics found, preventing them from being sold abroad, but criminal organizations involved in the trafficking of cultural relics were also cracked down on.
This incident made national news headlines and attracted widespread attention, fully demonstrating my country's firm determination and zero-tolerance attitude towards severely cracking down on criminal organizations that traffic in cultural relics.
However, it is heartbreaking that a large number of cultural relics that were illegally sold overseas are still missing. The loss of these precious cultural heritages is undoubtedly a major loss to the country.
Following this incident, the Huo family felt a great sense of responsibility and resolutely decided to establish a special task force to repurchase cultural relics from abroad.
With unwavering faith, they spared no effort in searching for every cultural relic belonging to China, bringing them safely back to their homeland, and handing them over to the state for safekeeping without hesitation.
Moreover, Huo Shan himself donated his precious antiques, which he had carefully collected over the years, to the country without reservation or compensation. This spirit of selfless dedication is truly admirable.
His actions received high praise and recognition from the national television station, and quickly became a hot topic of discussion in all sectors of society.
As a result, the stock price of Huo's Enterprises soared, even hitting the daily limit at one point.
Huo Shan didn't give much thought to this unexpected gain at first, but he always believed that protecting national cultural relics and passing on Chinese culture was the most important mission.
