Chapter 568: Chapter 568 About to Make Trouble
"Get ready to unload!"
"Yes!"
With the crane in position, container after container from the mixed cargo vessel was transferred to the prepared container trucks.
"Brother Zhang, why do I feel like this crowd is kind of shady?"
"Huh?"
"Look at this scene, doesn’t it look like something out of a Northern Federation blockbuster, with people making trouble in the dead of night, all mysterious and secretive? There won’t be any trouble, right?"
One of the port operatives looked uneasily at his colleague.
"Look at those guys, they’re obviously military, and they come with orders from above, could be some secret mission."
"Anyway, don’t get involved in these kinds of things—you’ll only be asking for trouble."
"Brother Zhang, the guys from across are coming over."
"Talk less, stay alert," Brother Zhang, feeling a bit of tension himself, forced himself to stay calm as he walked forward.
"Are you one of the workers here?"
"Yes!"
"Alright, we’ve finished unloading. This is for your overtime, thanks for your hard work tonight."
"And about tonight’s business..."
"We didn’t see anything."
"You guys don’t have to be so nervous, just don’t go spreading the word and there won’t be any problems."
Gulp.
Watching the other man walk away, the two dispatchers finally breathed a sigh of relief; the man had a gun on him.
As they watched the convoy leave, only then did they turn their attention to the briefcase in front of them. Opening the briefcase, they both inhaled sharply.
"Brother Zhang, how much money is this?"
"At least a million."
"Brother Zhang, my spine feels chilly all of a sudden."
Five container trucks, escorted by a squad of Long Ya, left the port and headed toward Jin City.
"G... The train will soon be arriving at the station. Passengers disembarking at Jin City South, please make sure to take all your personal belongings with you as you prepare to disembark."
A few minutes later.
Jiang Linda and Su Yuqing got off the Harmony Express, stretching lazily and attracting quite a few stares.
"Yuqing, my right eyelid has been twitching; I’ve got a bad feeling about this," Jiang Linda said, pulling her suitcase and walking towards the station exit with Su Yuqing.
"I feel the same. As soon as that boss of ours called, my heart started racing. It feels like something big is going to happen."
Su Yuqing gravely agreed.
"Ah, I really want to just buy a ticket and go back."
Jiang Linda was genuinely frightened. That Li Feng had caused such a mess in Sea City and then just disappeared, without a word for over ten days. And then with one phone call, they were suddenly ordered to travel to Jin City for business.
Without any advance notice, this kind of sudden order always left one feeling unsettled.
Despite saying this, they still made it to the exit, where they saw Li Feng, exhaling puffs of breath, waiting at the exit. The two women dragged their luggage up to Li Feng.
"You came!"
"With you summoning us, big boss, how dare we not?" Jiang Linda pouted.
"But, could you give us a heads-up about what you’re planning? My eyelids have been twitching the whole way here."
Li Feng glanced at Jiang Linda.
"I remember our company is called a cultural promotion company, so this time we’ll be doing some cultural promotion, and you two will be in charge."
"Huh?"
Jiang Linda looked at Li Feng. "Is that it?"
This doesn’t add up.
These basic operations didn’t match this guy’s style at all.
"Get in the car first; I’ll take you to the venue. Time’s a bit tight this time; I can only give you two days."
Li Feng crammed the ladies’ luggage into the trunk and took them straight to Wanwu Exhibition, a comprehensive venue specializing in large-scale exhibition events. It was well-known in Jin City, and now, Li Feng had booked it for the event.
Upon arriving at the central hall of Wanwu Exhibition, Li Feng led the two women straight into the exhibition hall, where numerous wooden crates were arranged.
"These are the exhibits for this exhibition."
Jiang Linda and Su Yuqing looked at some of the items in the opened boxes. "An antique exhibition?"
"Are these authentic or replicas?"
"Beauty, the blue and white piece you’re holding is from the Ming Dynasty and used by the court. Its price is reasonable, about a million or so."
"However, that’s part of a set. To have the whole set, it would be worth a fortune; you wouldn’t even dream of it without three to five hundred million."
"Ah!"
Hearing this, Jiang Linda hurriedly placed the object back carefully. Over a hundred million, she wouldn’t fetch enough even if she sold herself.
"This is Master Tan Lin, an expert in the antique world. For professional matters, you two should consult him."
Li Feng promptly introduced the two women to him.
"Master Tan, these two are in charge of this exhibition, Jiang Linda and Su Yuqing."
"Hmm!"
"Master, come quick and take a look, this is Tang Tri-color pottery from the Tang Dynasty, my god, this condition, it’s definitely national treasure grade."
A few of Master Tan’s apprentices exclaimed in astonishment.
Master Tan immediately turned and dashed over.
"Really?"
"I think it’s real. I’ve seen so many pieces and have found no replicas."
"How much would a real piece of Tang Tri-color pottery be worth?"
"That thing is priceless, let me tell you. A Tang Tri-color pottery in this condition is hard to find even in the South Palace; it’s simply invaluable."
Jiang Linda and Su Yuqing listened to the private whispers of the industry insiders; well, actually, the voices were quite loud, at least loud enough for the two of them to hear clearly.
"Boss, where did you land such a deal, bringing in so many antiques? If these are all genuine, this person must be the richest in Yan Country!"
Jiang Linda exclaimed in astonishment, seeing that the boxes there, at a cursory glance, amounted to several hundred. If all were genuine, how much would that be worth?
"Boss, may we know who the client is?"
The two women curiously looked at Li Feng.
At that moment, Master Tan came back with a complex look on his face, glanced at Li Feng, and asked, "Mr. Li, are all these things really yours?"
"Hmm?"
Both women’s eyes widened as they turned to look at Li Feng. These antiques belonged to their own boss? What was going on?
Could it be that after mysteriously becoming sworn brothers with the old chairman of Century Group and then becoming the group’s chairman as well, their boss had now "inherited" such a large batch of antiques?
"Master Tan, what are you trying to say?"
Master Tan looked at Li Feng, "Mr. Li, many of these antiques are of national treasure level. The source of these items?"
"Of course, if they’re for your private collection, that’s one thing. But you want to exhibit them; do you know what consequences that could lead to?"
"The relevant departments will definitely come to you. The items here could easily enrich even the South Palace’s collection."
Master Tan could no longer understand Li Feng’s actions. In the collecting world, many people’s collections are not readily shown, and wealth is often hidden, especially when it comes to national treasure level antiques, which are as guarded as one’s own life. If you don’t have the strength, trouble can easily find you.
The innocent man fears not the possession of jade.
To take out so many national treasure level antiques at once and exhibit them with such fanfare; if he’s not targeted, then it would be a miracle. The departments will definitely look into it.
And having been in the antique business for so many years, he had never heard of this man before him, whose antiques seemed to appear out of thin air.
The source of these certainly raised suspicions.
But if he were a tomb raider, would he dare to be so ostentatious? Wouldn’t that be asking for trouble?
"Master Tan, do you know why I asked for you?"
Li Feng looked at Tan Lin.
"Hmm?"
