Chapter 556: Strange Stone Carving
When Jiang Ping and Lan Keer rushed to their residence, the three people in the van were also talking about the beautiful woman who had just been in a car accident.
"That chick was so pretty!" said a guy with a gun with a smile on his face, "but the best-looking woman I've ever seen lately!"
"Not really!" his companion agreed with his words, "Look at her face and looks, tsk...... It's so tempting!"
The driver said wistfully: "Didn't she say that she would invite us to dinner, the three of us can be regarded as heroes to save the beauty, maybe we can still ...... Hey, hey!"
At this point, several people exchanged a look of understanding, and they all smiled proudly.
The van soon arrived at its destination, a secret residence in Marc's outskirts of Paris. Although this house was bought by Mark, and he occasionally appears here, there is no record of any relationship between this house and Mark in any official records.
Of course, Mark did this on purpose, using this place as a secret base for himself, as is the case with the so-called "Three Holes of the Cunning Rabbit". In the basement of the house, there is also a huge vault, which is used to house the artworks that have been shipped from Fasco.
As soon as the van drove outside the yard, the yard gate opened automatically. The van slowly drove into the yard and stopped in front of the house, where Mark had been waiting for a long time.
"Did it go well along the way?" didn't bother to greet the three of them at all, and Mark asked, "No one is following, right?"
The driver said confidently: "Boss, you can rest assured, everything is going well." We walked around the city for more than two hours, and we were sure that no one was following us!"
The other two naturally nodded their heads one after another, indicating that everything was going well, which also made Mark put down his snack a little. Unbeknownst to him, however, his men had been parking for more than ten minutes on the road. Go and help a woman who "got into a car accident". The three people who escorted the car also knew that this kind of thing would definitely be unlucky if Mark knew it, so they tacitly agreed not to mention it.
Mark went to the back of the van and first carefully checked the door locks. After making sure that the door lock had not suffered any damage, I was even more satisfied. He entered the code with his own hands, then unlocked the door with the key he carried with him, and said to the three subordinates, "Move everything to the basement......
However, Mark's words were not finished. I was already stunned. He stared blankly at the inside of the carriage, which was clearly much less artwork.
"This ...... What's going on?!" Shocked, Mark couldn't help but yell, "Didn't you say everything was normal?, why is this happening?!"
The three were also frightened, and they were all secretly suspicious of the beautiful woman they met on the road. But now that this kind of accident has happened, that incident is even more unspeakable. So the three of them were also full of grievances, and they all told Mark that they had been loyal to their duties along the way and had indeed not encountered anything suspicious, as for why there were so many fewer goods in the car, the three of them also spread their hands and said that they had no idea.
Mark was driven crazy by what was happening in front of him. The previous Easter egg auction made such a big mistake. has made his position very precarious. At present, there are so many less artworks that originally belonged to Fasco, why don't he be anxious?
At first, Mark also suspected that the three subordinates who escorted the car had stolen the artwork. But it soon dawned on him that there was no such possibility.
After all, this van is specially made, in fact, the back compartment is a large safe, and the door lock is also the latest model, Mark does not think that the three of them have the ability to open the door lock and get the contents inside. And if they really have that mind. Just drive the van away and never come back, there's really no need to steal some of it. It's silly to come back with the rest of it.
At this time, Mark had no clue where these artworks were going, so he could only take an inventory to see how big the loss was. And the result of the inventory is that his heart sank to the bottom, all the small and high-value works of art are gone, and the loss is at least 15 million dollars!
At the same time, Jiang Pingzheng and Lan Keer were at the residence. Take stock of the harvest this time. Jiang Ping's eye for art and antiques is absolutely top-notch, and every piece of art he gets back is worth a lot of money. He roughly estimated that the total value of these works of art was around 17 million dollars, and tonight's operation was definitely quite fruitful.
In fact, even Jiang Ping in his previous life, there were only a few people who had such a high return for a single action. This can only be said that he has the memories of his previous life. There's so much information about Facisco. Knowing Mark's character, he would definitely want to transfer the valuable property in the company under the current circumstances. That's why I came up with this highly targeted plan, and it was really a success.
"Seventeen million!" Jiang Ping said to Lan Ke'er with a smile: "Tomorrow we will send all of them to Nicholas, and we will collect 10 million." ”
For Lan Ke'er, as long as she can be with Jiang Ping, she really doesn't care much about money, she just said obediently: "It's all up to the Lord to decide, Ke'er doesn't have any opinions." ”
"Listen to me, right?" Jiang Ping looked at Lan Ke'er with a grin, and suddenly leaned into her ear and whispered a few words.
Lan Ke'er's pretty face immediately turned red, and she looked at Jiang Ping with watery eyes and said, "Lord, you are so bad!"
Of course, Jiang Ping could see that Lan Ke'er was coquettish, so he just smiled and said, "You just said it, all listen to me!"
In fact, Lan Keer was also willing to Jiang Ping's request, but because of the reserve of women, she was embarrassed to agree immediately. Since Jiang Ping said so, she naturally nodded lightly and said, "Since it is your request, Ke'er...... Of course I promise!"
"Haha, that's how good it is!" Jiang Ping nodded with satisfaction, picked up Lan Ke'er sideways and strode towards the bedroom, and the next thing was naturally a room......
The two of them had been crazy for a long time, and Lan Ke'er, who was a little exhausted, finally fell asleep in Jiang Ping's arms. And since he practiced the Xuankong Technique, Jiang Ping's energy has become more and more vigorous, although it was really ridiculous just now, but now he still has no sleepiness.
Jiang Ping got up gently, pulled the quilt over to cover Lan Ke'er's infinitely beautiful delicate body, and then came to the living room barefoot. Since he is not sleepy at the moment, Jiang Ping also wants to stay with these artworks. As an art thief, he always had an inexplicable affection for these things.
However, Jiang Ping had just walked to the sofa when he suddenly felt something under his feet. It wasn't big, it seemed to be smaller than a disposable lighter, and the surface was rough, and he couldn't remember that there was such a thing in his quarters.
He couldn't see clearly in the dark, so the curious Jiang Ping fumbled to take the things he stepped on in his hands, sat on the sofa and turned on the lamp next to him, wanting to see what he had stepped on.
The lamp emitted a soft glow, sprinkled on the gadget in Jiang Ping's hand. When he saw this thing clearly, his expression, which was still very calm, immediately changed slightly.
It is a small stone carving, judging by the color and texture, it should be carved from obsidian. Moreover, the stone carvings appear to be a little rough, and in some places they are badly worn, apparently for many years. However, these are not the reasons that surprised Jiang Ping, what really surprised him was the content of this stone carving.
Jiang Ping could see at a glance that this stone sculpture was very similar to the "Future Eye" gem that he had stolen in his previous life. Whether it's its size, shape, or the vertical pupil-like slit in the middle, it's a stone replica of the Future Eye gem!
This made Jiang Ping couldn't help but fall into contemplation, holding the small stone carving in the palm of his hand and muttering: "It's the eye of the future again, who made this stone carving, and what is the significance......
Jiang Ping knew very well in his heart that this stone sculpture was definitely not originally here, and it must have been brought back by him inadvertently when he was carrying the artworks in the van.
Since this small stone carving was previously stored in a safe at Fasco, it means that it is definitely very valuable. For Jiang Ping, in addition to its value, this stone carving also has a deeper meaning. If you can solve the mystery, you may be able to explain why you are reborn, and you also have such a magical ability as a snobbery.
Although Jiang Ping is still confused at the moment, he will not give up the idea of pursuing this secret. After sitting on the couch for a while, he carefully put away the stone sculpture before quietly returning to his bedroom to rest.
On the soft big bed, Lan Keer slept soundly. Jiang Ping gently lay down beside the female snitch, and she immediately came over, hugged Jiang Ping's arm, changed to a comfortable position and continued to sleep.
Looking at Lan Ke'er, who looked like a kitten, Jiang Ping couldn't help but show a smile on his face. He also temporarily let go of the doubts in his heart, and soon fell asleep.
The next morning, Nicholas arrived at Jiang Ping's residence as promised. When I saw so many artworks, I couldn't even close my mouth with a smile.
The art market is doing well right now, with many collectors racing to buy high-quality art. For Nicholas, the biggest problem is not that there are no customers, but that it is difficult to find goods that meet customer requirements. And the artworks provided by Jiang Ping have no intention of solving Nicholas's urgent needs, and he is of course very happy.
Although the artworks are not from the right source and certainly cannot be sold at public auction as high as those at public auction, they can still be sold secretly to collectors who do not want to be named. So Nicholas also thought that Jiang Ping's offer was very fair, and simply transferred 10 million US dollars to his Swiss bank account.
After asking his subordinates to remove all these artworks, Nicholas smiled and said to Jiang Ping: "You are also a multimillionaire now, so you haven't thought about improving your life?" (To be continued......)
