There is no other reason. She performed this action neatly and naturally, as if she had done it thousands of times before, and was so familiar that she could do it in her dreams.
He returned a gesture, representing the target person.
Gu Chen understood that Mrs. Aisha was also his target.
Neither of them looked directly at each other, and both raised their gazes to the auction booth. However, they both left a glimmer of their peripheral vision to observe the other's hand on their lap. Occasionally, a small movement would make a silent communication between the two.
Two outstanding soldiers communicated in secret with such subtle movements that even those who were keeping an eye on them would not be able to detect them. Besides, people who can enter here have been strictly screened to ensure that there are no problems before they can enter.
As for keeping an eye on Gu Chen, I just wanted to monitor her and see if she would make any other moves.
God bless her, she has always been honest.
As both of them understood that each other had missions behind them, the verbal communication stopped temporarily, and the corners of their mouths were slightly curved.
For Gu Chen, she and Bertley's mother have the same goal as Mrs. Elsa, and there is a possibility of working together.
But for Bertram, he was immersed in the joy of this reunion, and when it was over, he would definitely invite her to drink with him to celebrate that they came for a common goal.
Doesn't it feel a little weird? What is there to celebrate about coming together for a common goal?
But he does think so!
After Mrs. Elsa gracefully said a few words and stepped back from the crystal auction table, the auction host came up gracefully. It was Billy, who was in charge of the entire auction.
The first antique was escorted up by the bodyguards and carefully placed on the crystal auction table. Then the black satin was gently pulled off the antique. A pair of small, simple and time-preserved jade pieces appeared in front of everyone.
There were no other protective measures, only two tall and powerful bodyguards standing on both sides of the crystal auction exhibition.
Behind them is an enlarged view of the details of the pair of jade pieces, as well as an English explanation.
This pair of jade pieces is a pair of white jade cicadas, stolen from the tomb of a certain king in the Western Han Dynasty in China. They are lifelike in shape and have an even more delicate expression. Their eyes are protruding and energetic, and their tails are upturned and want to whimper.
The texture of the entire pair of cicada wings is clear, and there are perforations from the tail to the mouth. This is a pair of white marble cicada ornaments.
A cicada buries on the ground and becomes a pupa. After a few years, it emerges, sheds its pupa skin, and transforms into a cicada. Because it cannot be seen eating, people usually think that it sucks the wind and dew, which symbolizes nobility.
Gu Chen didn't quite understand this, but Xie Jingyao did.
It is impossible for precious cultural relics like these to be lost abroad through formal channels. They are all stolen and then lost abroad.
He had already clenched his hands gently. When investigating this underground criminal group, he had done some research and knew clearly that nearly 80% of the precious cultural relics here came from China.
In other words, Mrs. Aisha relied on these precious Chinese cultural relics to make huge profits.
"Don't worry, it will always come back to us." Gu Chen gently patted the back of his hand, signaling him to relax.
Soon, the pair of jade cicadas were sold at a high price, and the transaction was done right on the spot. The money was paid with one hand and the goods were delivered with the other hand. The first order was easily completed.
"Seeing her reminds me of what happened back then." Behind the scenes, Mr. Yu held a crystal goblet with its stem and celebrated the successful completion of the first business tonight with his wife, Mrs. Aisha. "I never expected that after twenty-two years,
