Chapter 167: The General's Past
When he first heard Cai Meilin talk about Chen Lao and the Golden Buddha, Li Yu had a feeling that he was angry. Dong Bolin, such a master, traveled all the way to Yuhai, and it was not enough to invite Cai Meilin, but also to invite him Li Yu to be a bodyguard, the purpose was to take a golden Buddha for an old man who was said to be the founding father. Does this old man have a big face? Why did Li Yu go to Southeast Asia to take risks for all this bullshit for him?
Well, since he is the founding father, he must have a big face, don't you see that Dong and Cai both have a feeling of flattery? Are you willing to tend to the flames, that's your business, what's the matter with me Li Yu?
That is, because he still has some past friendships with Cai Meilin, and Cai Meilin is an elder, Li Yu has to save some face for him, otherwise he would have left a long time ago, where would he stay here and talk nonsense with these people.
Dong Bolin couldn't see his thoughts, because in his mind, Chen Lao was the old chief, and what the old chief wanted to do, did he still need to explain? As for Cai Meilin, maybe it's because he has been in the mall for a long time, and he believes in the truth of business, although Chen Lao has retired, his status in the country is still very prominent, and countless people have no chance to do something for Chen Lao, how can he understand Li Yu's thoughts?
Among the three people, only Gao Shixin knows more about young people because of his identity as a college teacher, so he can guess Li Yu's thoughts. He knew that if he wanted to move Li Yu to participate in this matter, he had to explain the cause and effect of the matter clearly.
"Li Yu, you misunderstood." Gao Shixin said seriously.
"Teacher Gao, please speak." Li Yu replied respectfully.
Gao Shixin said: "Do you think that Chen Lao has gone too far for the sake of a golden Buddha?" โ
Li Yu didn't say anything, in fact, he acquiesced.
Gao Shixin said: "Actually, this matter is not what you imagined. Chen Lao is not a collector, and he does not have any precious antiques in his home. He entrusted Boss Cai to take back this golden Buddha because it was snatched from China by the invading Japanese army 70 years ago. Chen is very old, and he wants to get back this golden Buddha that was lost overseas in his lifetime, so he will invite Boss Cai and Captain Dong to go to Southeast Asia for this trip. โ
"This golden Buddha. Is it important for Chen Lao? Li Yu asked. It has been half a year since he came to this era, and he already knows a little about the history of the past few hundred years. I know the things of the Anti-Japanese War, and I also know that in those years when I was bullied by foreign powers, many cultural relics in China were looted. Then the question arises, so many cultural relics have been lost overseas, why did Chen Laodu want to find this golden Buddha?
Gao Shixin smiled faintly and said, "You got the point, this golden Buddha." It is indeed very important to Chen Lao. At the beginning, when he learned that the Japanese invaders were going to rob a batch of precious Chinese cultural relics back to Japan, his superiors ordered Chen Lao to lead a force to stop the Japanese invaders' conspiracy. Chen Lao and his comrades-in-arms fought bloodily and sacrificed dozens of comrades-in-arms, but finally failed to do so due to the disparity in strength. Chen Lao has always been haunted by this matter, and he wants to find this golden Buddha back in his lifetime to comfort the heroic souls of those who sacrificed their comrades. โ
"I see." Li Yu suddenly realized. Looking back and thinking about Dong Berlin's expression, you can understand.
"What do you think?" Dong Bolin snorted angrily, he also understood now. It turned out that Li Yu's breath was holding back in this place, imagining Chen Lao as an arrogant and lascivious villain.
"I'm sorry. Captain Dong, I misunderstood. Li Yu said frankly.
Cai Meilin also sighed: "Alas, it's all because I didn't make it clear." I think that Chen Lao is so famous, and how he is is a person, I can't imagine it......"
Gao Shixin explained with a smile: "Li Yu has been living in the mountains in the past, and he doesn't know much about things outside, so it's normal to have such a misunderstanding." But that's because of that. only then did he show the preciousness of Li Yu, a young man, who was unwilling to cling to power. Everything comes from the heart, and now there are not many people who can have this kind of quality. โ
"Yes, yes, it's still Professor Gao who is empathetic, so Li Yu is indeed quite valuable." Cai Meilin hurriedly took over the conversation. Regardless of whether Li Yu was right or wrong when he made an awkward mistake just now, now is not the time to accuse Li Yu, he is still counting on Li Yu to help. Gao Shixin's words are equivalent to setting up a ladder for everyone, how can a smart person like Cai Meilin not hurry up and agree.
"Boss Cai, go on, what's the situation in this matter." Li Yu revealed this topic and said to Cai Meilin.
"Continue?" Cai Meilin was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, yes, I will continue to ......." The situation is like this, the devils stole a lot of cultural relics from China and shipped them back to their own countries. In the fifties and sixties, when Japan's economy was reconstruction, domestic funds were in difficulty, so the Japanese government took these looted cultural relics to the international cultural relics market for sale in exchange for domestic construction funds. Because Japan was a defeated country in the war, these cultural relics should theoretically be returned to their original owners, and their open sale would cause public outrage, so the Japanese government adopted the method of secret sales, and these cultural relics did not go through formal trading channels, but flowed into some underground cultural relics smuggling channels. โ
"Is that the Golden Buddha?" Li Yu asked.
"Yes." Dong Bolin's feelings were already calmer at this time, he took Dong Bolin's words and said, "Chen Lao has always been very concerned about the loss of the Golden Buddha overseas. In the past, our country was poor, and it was impossible to have the funds to redeem these lost cultural relics. In recent years, our national strength has improved, and the return of overseas cultural relics has been paid more and more attention. Chen Lao has a son who is a very successful multinational entrepreneur, and he has always remembered Chen Lao's wish, and once redeemed many lost cultural relics overseas, but never found this golden Buddha.
Not long ago, through some private channels, this son of Chen Lao,...... By the way, we all call him Mr. Chen, and we learned that a cultural relics smuggling syndicate in Southeast Asia had obtained this golden Buddha and planned to auction it in an underground auction market in country A. When Chen Lao heard the news, he was very excited. Mr. Chen also wanted to help Chen Lao while the old man was still alive, so he had such an action. โ
"Then why did Brother Dong find Yuhai?" Li Yu asked in surprise.
Dong Bolin pointed at Cai Meilin and said, "Boss Cai is very familiar with the cultural relics smuggling market in Southeast Asia, so he ......."
"Uh......" Cai Meilin's face was a little embarrassed, Dong Bolin's words didn't seem like he was complimenting, he explained sneeringly: "I am also by mistake, and I have been in contact with some underground smuggling. As for ourselves, we have never done such a thing, and Professor Gao can testify to this. โ
"Haha, Lao Cai, you don't need to explain this, and Captain Dong doesn't mean to investigate your smuggling." Coats smiled and rounded.
Dong Bolin also smiled, and he said: "Chen Lao also heard from several cultural relics authorities in the capital to know Boss Cai's name, so he specially arranged for me to come to Yuhai to invite Boss Cai out of the mountain. The situation in the underground cultural relics market is very complicated, and if we don't have a knowledgeable person to lead the way, I'm afraid we won't even be able to touch the door. Boss Cai, don't worry, this matter will definitely not affect your reputation. Elder Chen said, if you can help him handle this matter well, he will thank you specifically. โ
Cai Meilin smiled on his face, waved his hand and said: "How dare you, to be able to do something for Old Chen, and it is such a glorious thing, even if I want to thank him?" โ
Speaking of this, the mustard in everyone's hearts has also been eliminated. According to Cai Meilin, the underground auction market in Southeast Asia is very secretive, and in order to avoid official interference, the number of people who can enter the auction market is strictly limited. If he wants to go to the auction, he can only bring two helpers with him. Dong Bolin can be accompanied as a bodyguard, and another person needs to appear as a buddy, and at the same time need to have superb martial arts in case of accidents.
After thinking about it, Cai Meilin thought of Li Yu's body. When the medicinal food shop opened, Li Yu singled out dozens of gangsters, and also fought with the famous Rong Yunjian, and his martial arts could be trusted. So, he recommended Li Yu to Dong Bolin and said that he could invite Li Yu to go with him. Dong Bolin inquired about Ou Liwen, but found that Li Yu was actually Ou Liwen's informant, and he had a fight with his proud disciple Chen Shaobo, which made Chen Shaobo suffer a lot of losses. Dong Bolin decided to invite Li Yu to come over to meet him, and as soon as Li Yu entered the door, he made a sneak attack, wanting to test whether Li Yu really lived up to his reputation.
"Sure enough, the hero came from the boy." Dong Bolin nodded with emotion and expressed his approval of Li Yu's martial arts.
"Li Yu, Southeast Asia is very complicated, and this time there are likely to be some risks, so you have to be mentally prepared for this." Gao Shixin reminded.
"I understand." Li Yuying said that since it is an underground smuggling market, it is naturally a mixture of fish and dragons, and it has been the case throughout the ages. Li Yu also used to be a bodyguard for people back then, and went to this kind of underground black market to engage in trading, so he has enough understanding of this situation.
"Do you know how to use a firearm?" Dong Bolin asked suddenly.
"A little." Li Yu nodded in response.
"I'm afraid a little bit won't be enough." Dong Bolin said, "The gangsters in Southeast Asia all have guns, and martial arts alone are not enough to protect themselves. That's it, there are still two weeks before the auction, I will ask Xiao Ou to help you apply for a passport and visa, you don't have to arrange anything else these days, I will surprise train your marksmanship, and some other skills. โ
"Then thank you Brother Dong." Li Yu said. (To be continued~^~) mobile phone users, please visit wรจnhttp://mnet
