At night, the Ocean Princess approached Singapore. Several helicopters landed on the cruise ship, and more than 20 armed personnel took advantage of the darkness to unload dozens of boxes of different sizes from the helicopters.
At this moment, in the VIP room of the French restaurant on the cruise ship, Xu Yun was dealing with a medium-rare steak. Unlike Chinese people who like well-done steaks, foreigners like steaks that are tender and the cooking techniques are completely different.
Miss Tianhou had a big appetite today. While she was eating, she glared at Zhou Qingfeng across from her, especially when she kicked the other person's legs with her foot under the table, and she enjoyed bullying others.
Zhou Qingfeng didn't say anything. He was also responsible for eating the steak that Xu Yun fed him. Regardless of whether he liked it or not, Miss Tianhou would force him to take a bite. On the other hand, Feng Wanxiang looked at his younger brother.
Just like my sister, she just smiles gently.
Just when the three of them were happily eating, Xu Yun's female assistant suddenly came over and whispered a few words to Xu Yun. The eldest lady who was happily eating immediately pursed her lips, shook her head slightly and said, "Let them wait.
Come on, let’s deal with this matter tomorrow.”
The female assistant seemed to be in a dilemma, so Zhou Qingfeng asked in a low voice: "Is there something urgent?"
"It's not because of you. I have never been so sad in my life. In those days, when I was angry, I bought a painting at an exorbitant price. As a result, the painting seller sent me the painting and asked me to pay for it." Xu Yun
Mumbling and complaining, the blame was put entirely on Zhou Qingfeng.
What was supposed to come finally came, and it looked like there was going to be a big showdown tonight. Zhou Qingfeng sighed inwardly and said to Xu Yun: "I'll collect the painting for you. Those black marketeers are not good people."
"No, you don't know how to identify oil paintings. You can't even tell whether Picasso was from that era." Xu Yun snickered.
Zhou Qingfeng could only retreat this time and said: "Then I will go with you."
Xu Yun's eyebrows immediately curled up into a smile, wishing she could pull Zhou Qingfeng away immediately. Regarding this matter, Feng Wan graciously expressed her refusal to do so, and said she would return to the suite by herself. So, Xu Yun pulled Zhou Qingfeng away.
Holding Zhou Qingfeng's hand, he quickly headed to the auction venue where the delivery was agreed, running there along the way.
The waiter on the ship led Zhou Qingfeng and Zhou Qingfeng to the door of the auction venue and did not go in again. Two other armed guards checked Xu Yun's identity before letting them go. However, the auction venue that could originally accommodate a hundred people was now empty, with only a few people.
Several people were waiting for Xu Yun.
"Hello, beautiful lady." A white man took the initiative to shake hands with Xu Yun and Zhou Qingfeng, "We have transferred your purchase money from the ship's vault, and now we will deliver the painting you purchased. I assure you,
The true value of this painting is far beyond the cash you paid."
The painting "Virgin, Son and Saints" is hundreds of years old. When Zhou Qingfeng brought it back from the wasteland, it was only sealed in a plastic bag, but now the painting is installed in a sealed bulletproof glass frame
Inside, it takes a lot of effort to open it.
While Xu Yun was conducting the appraisal, Zhou Qingfeng chatted with the white man in charge of the transaction and asked: "Excuse me, it's too dangerous for you to conduct this kind of transaction openly on a cruise ship. Don't worry about being arrested by the police."
Targeted?"
Zhou Qingfeng was already waiting for a big battle, but the current situation was very calm, and all processes were proceeding slowly and without any problems.
The white man also had a nonchalant attitude. He smiled and said: "The people who can become our customers are celebrities and powerful people from all over the world. They will not cause trouble for themselves. Our security personnel are also first-class, and the safety factor of the transaction process is very high. You
There’s absolutely no need to worry.”
‘That’s because you haven’t provoked a powerful enemy!’ Zhou Qingfeng cursed in his heart, and now he could only wait silently for the moment when the battle breaks out.
In another cabin dozens of meters away from the auction venue, Erwin's old-fashioned and gloomy face rarely showed a smile. He was receiving news one after another that the men of the black market businessman Lerner were indeed in danger to coerce and profit.
When tempted, choose to come directly to complete the transaction.
Don't think that Americans don't value their own honor. In fact, Erwin is imagining that he will become a hero in recovering the American national treasure. "These black marketeers are so bold. Do they really think that no one dares to deal with them? Let's let them go today."
I'm here to put an end to the garbage in these dark corners."
The appraisal of the paintings is being completed one by one, and Lerner's men are busy taking out the cash from the cruise ship's vault. You must know that 200 million in cash is a very big pile, and just counting it is not a task.
It's an easy thing, but transporting it is even more troublesome.
"Mr. Erwin, all the paintings have been confirmed. They are indeed the ones lost by our Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Now there is only the last "Virgin, Child and Saints" left. You can wait until they complete the transaction.
Arrest them." Brigitte's voice came over the radio. Appraisal of dozens of paintings was a very tiring job.
Erwin laughed loudly and said: "There is no need to wait for the transaction to be completed. I will send people to start a comprehensive arrest work now. Not only will we recover all the stolen paintings, but no one can take away the 200 million US dollars."
.
As for the Chinese woman, she should not have intervened in this matter at all. And she actually took Victor.
Hugo is here. Hahaha.
．
．
．
．
．
, when I send someone to rush in and take a few photos, tomorrow they will be published in the Wall Street Times with the story of buying stolen goods, and then their reputation will be ruined."
Hearing this, Brigitte also sighed in her heart, although she liked Victor very much.
Hugo, but now there is nothing she can do. She thought to herself: "It's a pity, I like him quite a lot. Why can't the person who partners with me be such a handsome guy? I feel like there are good Asian men too."
At the auction venue, Xu Yun, who had been staring at the paintings for half an hour, suddenly frowned in distress and said in Zhou Qingfeng's ear: "I really should learn more from my father how to appreciate paintings? Because I found out
It’s impossible to tell whether it’s true or false.”
Zhou Qingfeng was just about to say a few words of comfort to the woman's coquettish words, when he suddenly heard a burst of gunshots outside the auction venue. This sudden change shocked everyone in the venue, and several security personnel drew their weapons. Just now
The white man who was still confident in his trading looked bewildered.
Xu Yun also widened her eyes, not knowing what to do? Without waiting for the people in the venue to react too much, the door of the venue suddenly exploded. A small amount of explosive cords blew open the entire door frame, followed by several
A grenade was thrown in from outside.
At the moment when the grenade arced and was about to land, Zhou Qingfeng quickly took off his suit and wrapped Xu Yun's head and face. After closing her sense of the five senses, he held the woman's body and quickly headed towards the back door of the venue.
