Chapter 421
At night, the Ocean Princess approached Singapore. Several helicopters landed on the cruise ship, and more than 20 armed personnel took advantage of the night to unload dozens of boxes of different sizes from the helicopter.
At this moment, in the VIP room of the cruise French restaurant, Xu Yun is dealing with a 70-minute cooked steak. Unlike the Chinese people who like full cooked steak, the steak that foreigners like is tender and the cooking method is completely different.
The queen had a big appetite today. She ate while glaring at Zhou Qingfeng opposite her, especially when she was still kicking her feet under the table, and she was still happy to bully people.
Zhou Qingfeng didn't say anything, he was also responsible for eating the steak fed by Xu Yun. Whether he liked it or didn't like it, the queen would force him to take a bite. However, Feng Wan on the other side seemed to look at her younger brother and sister, just smiled gently.
Just as the three of them were having a meal happily, Xu Yun's female assistant suddenly came over and whispered to Xu Yun. The young lady who was having a happy meal immediately pouted and shook her head slightly, saying, "Let them wait and deal with this matter tomorrow."
The female assistant seemed to be in a dilemma, and Zhou Qingfeng asked in a low voice: "Is there anything urgent?"
"Isn't it because you are hurt? I've never been so sad and uncomfortable in my life. When I got angry those days, I bought a painting at a price. As a result, the person who sold the paintings brought it to me and asked me to pay." Xu Yun muttered and complained, and the responsibility was pushed to Zhou Qingfeng.
What should come is coming after all. It seems that there will be a big showdown tonight. Zhou Qingfeng sighed in his heart and said to Xu Yun: "I'll collect that painting for you. Those black market merchants are not good people."
"No, you don't know how to identify oil paintings, you can't even figure out Picasso from that era." Xu Yun smiled secretly.
Zhou Qingfeng could only ask for this time and said, "Then I will accompany you."
Xu Yun's eyebrows and eyes immediately smiled, wishing she could pull Zhou Qingfeng away immediately. Regarding this kind of thing, Feng Wan said generously that she would not go, and she said she would return to the suite herself. So Xu Yun took Zhou Qingfeng's hand and quickly walked to the auction venue where the delivery was agreed, and ran over along the way.
The waiter on the boat led Zhou Qingfeng and the other two to the door of the auction venue and stopped going in. Two other gun guards checked Xu Yun's identity before they could release them. The auction venue, which could originally accommodate 100 people, was empty at the moment, with only a few people waiting for Xu Yun.
"Hello, beautiful lady." A white man took the initiative to shake hands with Xu Yun and Zhou Qingfeng. "We have rowed your purchase money from the vault on the ship. Now we will deliver the painting you purchased. I promise you that the real value of this painting is far beyond the cash you paid."
The painting "Holy Mother, Son and Saints" has been around for hundreds of years. When Zhou Qingfeng brought it back from the wasteland, he only sealed it with a plastic bag, but now the painting is packed in a closed bulletproof glass frame, and it takes a lot of effort to open it.
Taking advantage of Xu Yun's identification, Zhou Qingfeng chatted with the white man in charge of the transaction and asked: "Please forgive me for taking advantage of it. It is too dangerous for you to conduct such a transaction on a cruise ship publicly. Are you not afraid of being targeted by the police?"
Zhou Qingfeng was already waiting for a big battle, but the current situation was very calm, and all the process was slow and there seemed to be no problem.
The white man was also indifferent, and he smiled and said, "Those who can become our customers are celebrities and powerful people from all over the world, and they will not cause trouble for themselves. Our security personnel are also first-class, and the security factor of the transaction process is very high. You don't need to worry at all."
'That's because you didn't provoke a great enemy!' Zhou Qingfeng complained in his heart, and now he can only wait silently for the moment of the battle to break out.
In another cabin dozens of meters away from the auction venue, Erwin's old-fashioned and gloomy face rarely smiled. He was receiving news one after another that the men of the black market businessman Lerna did choose to come directly to complete the transaction under the temptation of danger and interests.
Don’t think that Americans don’t value their own honor. In fact, Elvin is imagining that he will become a hero to recover American national treasures. “These black market merchants are really bold. Do they really think no one dares to deal with them? Let me end these trash in the dark corners today.”
The appraisal of the painting is being completed one by one, and Lerna's subordinates are busy withdrawing the cash from the cruise vault. You should know that 200 million yuan of cash is a huge pile, and counting it alone is not an easy task, and transporting it away is even more troublesome.
"Mr. Elvin, all the paintings have been confirmed. They are indeed the lost batch of our New York Metropolitan Museum. Now there is only the last pair of "The Mary, the Son and the Saints". You wait until they complete the transaction before you catch people." Brigitte's voice came from the radio. The identification of dozens of paintings was a very tiring job.
But Elvin laughed and said, "There is no need to wait for the transaction to be completed. I will send someone to start the full arrest work now. Not only will we recover all the stolen paintings, no one can take away the 200 million US dollars.
As for that Chinese woman, she shouldn't have interfered in this matter at all. And she actually put Victor on.
Hugo is here. Hahaha.

, When I send someone in to take a few photos, they will be on the Wall Street Times tomorrow with the story of buying stolen goods, and then their reputation will be ruined."
Hearing this, Brigitte sighed in her heart, although she likes Victor very much.
Hugo, but now she is powerless. She thought to herself: "What a pity, I like him very much. Why can't the person I partner with is such a handsome guy? I feel that there are good Asian men."
At this moment, Xu Yun, who had been staring at the painting for half an hour, suddenly frowned in distress and said in Zhou Qingfeng's ear: "I should learn more from my father how to appreciate paintings? Because I found that I could not tell the truth at all."
Zhou Qingfeng was about to comfort a few words of coquettishness to a woman, but suddenly heard a burst of gunfire outside the auction venue. This sudden change surprised everyone in the venue, and several security personnel pulled out their weapons one after another. The white man who was confident in trading just now seemed at a loss.
Xu Yun also widened her eyes, not knowing what to do? Without waiting for the people in the venue to react too much, the gate of the venue suddenly exploded, and a small number of explosion ropes exploded the door frame, followed by a few grenades thrown in from outside.
