Chapter 130: Chapter 129: Illegal Treasure

In a detached courtyard in New York City, Crystal Ramirez is restless.

She has been in New York for half a year, and apart from buying necessities, she hardly dares to go out.

In New York City, she also has a villa under her name, but less than a month after she arrived here, the villa was confiscated.

Not only the villa, she learned through a phone call that her other properties in the United States had also been confiscated and auctioned off.

Crystal didn’t bring much cash with her, and several credit cards had been locked. She only had one more card under a false name with a little bit of money left on it.

She couldn’t stretch that money for more than a month.

But Crystal had no choice; these properties were all purchased by her mother in the past few years. She was just a student. What could she do?

Now her mother had been arrested in China, and she didn’t dare to go back.

As for these properties, she had just used them anyway since they were left by her mother.

As for how her mother got them, she didn’t care.

It’s just that she got too little in hand.

Looking at the container list on the table, Crystal thought about it and decided to give up.

It had already expired three months ago.

Originally, she should have picked it up when it arrived and brought the items inside back.

Her mother had vaguely told her before that there were things inside that could let her live a lifetime.

Unfortunately, after Crystal discovered something wrong, she moved here.

She never had a chance to pick it up, fearing being caught, investigated, and taken away.

Now that things have finally relaxed a bit, and she doesn’t have much money in hand, Crystal thought of the container.

She looked at the phone number on the list, hesitated for a moment, and dialed it out.

The call was quickly connected.

When Crystal asked to check the container, the other party asked her to report the container number.

As soon as Crystal reported the number, the other party checked and immediately said:

"It has already expired and been auctioned off."

"What?" Crystal said in anger, "On what grounds did you auction off my container? Those things inside are mine!"

"Because it expired, and you didn’t renew the rent!"

The other party was even more domineering than Crystal and hung up after finishing the sentence.

It’s all over, all over!

Crystal sat down on the sofa.

What will she do when she runs out of money?

Since she was born and grew up, Crystal wasn’t rich, but she basically had everything handed to her.

It was only during her time hiding in the Beautiful Country that she began to live on her own. Even so, she ordered half-cooked food and simply processed it to eat upon arrival.

If she weren’t afraid of being caught and sent back to China, she would have gone out to eat delicious food long ago—her self-cooked dishes were just too unappetizing!

No money now, what should she do?

Crystal wanted to cry but had no tears left.

The phone rang.

She looked down, and it seemed to be the number she had dialed earlier.

"Your container was sold to a Chinese person three days ago. If you want to know, we kept his phone number here."

A Chinese person?

Crystal was suddenly a little delighted and immediately asked for the phone number.

She didn’t know why the other party would give her that Chinese man’s number, but with this number, she could at least see if she could retrieve those items!

When Crystal made the call, Sean Knight had already moved all the items to the villa.

So many Chinese antiques could hardly be obtained by ordinary people.

They could either belong to a cultural relic trafficker or someone who dealt with cultural relics in some way.

However, Sean had no intention of returning them, no matter who they belonged to.

Especially that ivory mat.

He didn’t even plan to sell it!

This thing could be passed down through generations!

Sean had no idea how the other party got it.

Even Kathy Lewis was shocked by the number of small artifacts.

Following Jeremy Knight, she was somewhat familiar with Chinese cultural relics. Occasionally, she could see some Chinese cultural relics in the Beautiful Country, but she had never seen so many at once!

While Sean was sorting out the items, he discovered a set of document materials in the suitcase.

"Crystal Ramirez?" Sean listened to the name and found it to be somewhat familiar!

He immediately searched the internet and then knew.

Sean quickly understood the origin of these items!

Not only were there documents about Crystal Ramirez in the materials, but there were also several pseudonyms. However, they all turned out to be photos of the same person.

There was information about several other properties and a villa’s documents as well.

Sean shook his head; it seemed better not to hold on to these things.

Although they could sell for some money, they were hot potatoes.

Sean considered himself a commoner; it was better not to get involved in some matters.

He put the documents aside, looking for a safer way.

The ivory mat would definitely be kept; as for the rest, forget it.

With the pirate treasure, plus the gold bars and cash in the safe, Sean’s debts were almost paid off.

As for these cultural relics, there should be ways to inquire in China.

Although he didn’t know what level of cultural relics these items were, he estimated they wouldn’t be low based on their age.

Since the gold bars and cash were on hand, these items should just be returned.

At that moment, the mobile phone rang.

An unfamiliar number.

Sean answered the call, and Crystal nervously asked on the other end:

"Hello, Mr. Knight? I am the owner of the container you bought the day before yesterday. Can I buy it back for three times the price?"

"Too late, it’s already been auctioned off!"

Hearing the other party’s voice, Sean immediately thought that this woman must be Crystal Ramirez.

"Auctioned off?" Crystal didn’t believe it.

"I bought these abandoned containers just for auction. I’ve auctioned them all off today."

Crystal was heartbroken!

How could they be auctioned off?

She thought for a while, gathered her spirits, and asked:

"Do you know who they were auctioned to?"

"My subordinate did it, and I don’t know."

Sean looked like he was just doing his job, "After the auction, we won’t trace the whereabouts of the boxes; we clear the transactions."

Crystal Ramirez didn’t expect Sean Knight to be so cruel—

She hung up the phone and didn’t know what to do.

On this side, Sean immediately made a call to the Freight Yard Owner:

"Do you know you are breaking the law? Why did you give my information to the original cargo owner of the container? Did you want to see me laughed at?"

After the Freight Yard Owner figured out the situation, he said nonchalantly:

"Sean, it’s normal. Since they asked, of course I have to tell. Maybe they’ll offer a higher price to buy it back, and won’t you make a profit?"

Sean knew the Freight Yard Owner looked down on him, so he snorted coldly and hung up the phone.

Since the other party didn’t follow the rules, he didn’t need to be polite to them!

Sean hung up the phone, thought for a moment, and called Paul Walker.

Paul Walker was sitting in the large office, getting used to the process of being the Port District Chief.

After listening to Sean, he nodded and said:

"It’s that bastard Joseph, isn’t it? I know, he should know the price of arrogance by tomorrow!"

With Paul’s identity as the Port District Chief, it wouldn’t be difficult to deal with a small Freight Yard Owner.
