Chapter 358: The Power of the Actioner
In a villa, a middle-aged man was saying bitterly:
"Elder Weng, can you discuss it again, these more than 180 cultural relics belong to our country! We at the Shenghai Museum would like to be able to invite you back...... Well, five million is not enough, I'm in charge, how about adding another three million, eight million dollars? β
The old man surnamed Weng said:
"Lao Liu, it's not a matter of money. It's a question of whether it can be saved. Even if I give you these things, can you guarantee that they will be preserved in the country? β
"Absolutely!" Lao Liu firmly promised, "We now have the best security facilities in the museum, and we also have the best preservation environment, how can we not keep it?" β
Weng Lao shook his head again:
"Lao Liu, you should understand what I mean. It wasn't a spur of the moment that I sent these artifacts to the Met.
As you can see, I'm old and won't live many years. These things are kept at home, and when I leave, there is a great possibility that the juniors will sell them.
I want them to keep it well, so I have to send it out......"
"Then why don't you send it to China?" Lao Liu was still puzzled.
"Domestic? Hehe! Weng Lao smiled, "After so many years, I can see clearly." If it is sent to the country, eighty percent will not be able to keep it - don't refute me first, listen to me. β
Lao Liu Gang wanted to speak, but when he said this, he had to stop his mouth helplessly.
"Not to mention that a few decades ago, some people set up a cultural relics store and sold a large number of cultural relics directly. Who can guarantee that such a thing will not happen again? β
As soon as he asked, Lao Liu immediately wanted to refute, after all, it was a critical period, but Weng Lao didn't allow him to speak, and continued:
"I'm still here to see things that have been sold out in a grand way with the label of the museum's collection......"
Lao Liu opened his mouth, he had nothing to say, he knew that Weng Lao would not allow him to refute.
Sure enough, Weng Lao continued:
"Now the world is the only one. Although the development of Lao Mei has stagnated a little, everyone knows that he is still the most powerful country. And because he is alone on a continent, he has not burned the mainland here in several major wars. β
Lao Liu admits this.
"So, if you put things here, at least you won't worry about being damaged by the warβmy old man has seen the world through many wars. Sooner or later, there will still be wars in this world. When the time comes...... Put it there and will you be able to keep it? β
Lao Liu was just about to speak, but Weng Lao stood up and said with a stern face:
"I don't want perfunctory words! Your Shenghai is on the seashore, at the frontier, if there is really a war, you are the first city to be destroyed, I put things there for you, can you keep it? β
Lao Liu felt a little sad.
Is this really what the old man in front of him thinks?
Everything is hypothesized by war?
Hehe.
He knew he couldn't talk about it anymore.
Standing up, Lao Liu said:
"Elder Weng, since you have made up your mind, then I won't say anything."
The last time he came over, he bought a batch of artifacts from here for $4.5 million, which is considered to be a complete task.
This time, it was in vain.
After Lao Liu left, Weng Lao's son walked in, pouted and said:
"Just that little money, I want to buy our things, it's really embarrassing......"
"Xiaohai, don't talk nonsense." Weng Lao sat down, took a sip of tea and said:
"Lao Liu is still very fair-minded. He can't be wrong either. β
"But those things were collected and purchased by our Weng family themselves, and they weren't brought out by those people illegally, so we can dispose of them as we want!"
"So people don't embarrass us." Weng Lao always maintained a relatively peaceful attitude, "He just came to trade, not to force us to hand it over." If you don't have that much, just send the stuff over. β
"I just don't like looking at him." The expression on Xiao Hai's face was really unhappy, "Anyway, we got our money back in Silicon Valley Bank, and we don't care about this, donate it, and we can make a good name here." β
"Don't take things that seriously." Weng Lao pointed at his son, "If you are not from my race, your heart will be different." If you want to stay here for a long time, you will have to work ten times and a hundred times harder than others in the future! β
"We're not donating things now!" Xiao Hai muttered.
"Not enough, certainly not enough." Weng Lao sighed, "Actually, I also want to go back, but I'm afraid to come again...... Alas, that's something you need to think about, I'm old and don't want to think about it......"
Xiao Hai nodded, went out, and arranged the transportation of cultural relics.
Although he didn't think it would be dangerous, he called the hired person to remind him again that he must be safe.
It's time to deliver the goods on the road.
Weng Lao had already taken the car first, and Xiaohai followed the truck in a small car.
When the car was about to leave, Zhu Yu had already received the message.
His car merged into the torrent of many vehicles, deliberately controlled his speed, and slowly came to the position of the first few cars of the truck.
All the best.
When he arrived at the location of the tunnel, Zhu Yu was a little nervous, and then he heard a "bang" sound, and the two cars in front of him collided together.
There was a car that didn't have time to brake and hit it continuously, causing chaos at the mouth of the tunnel!
Then the lights in the tunnel suddenly went out, and I don't know who cut off the power.
Zhu Yu had already braked the car, quietly got out of the car in the dark, put on his hood, and quickly came to the truck.
Seeing that the cars in front and behind the van were with their lights on, he threw out two smoke grenades.
Clouds of smoke obscured all view.
He could hear the men in the van talking nervously, clearly vigilant.
The truck driver was also a little nervous and was looking around.
Zhu Yu stepped forward and knocked on the window, which was a narcotic bullet in front of the driver.
After solving the driver, Zhu Yu searched out the walkie-talkie from the cab and shouted in a dumb voice:
"The situation is not right, hurry up and come out, there is a bomb on the chassis!"
After saying that, he threw away the walkie-talkie.
He knew that time was running out, and now it had to be as soon as possible!
Although he knew that this news might be false, no one dared to take any more risks in the face of danger, and the back door of the carriage opened, and someone came down to observe.
Zhu Yu hid on the side and shot continuously, knocking people to the ground!
The people inside felt wrong, and they were about to close the door immediately, and some people shot back, and Zhu Yu had already thrown a smoke bomb inside!
The other party is making a mess!
The eye of heaven opened, and Zhu Yu could see the other party's position through the carriage.
All the artifacts are placed close to the front of the car, and the boxes are neatly arranged.
The carriage was split into two sections, and at the back was the space for these mercenaries.
Zhu Yu stood a little farther away, raised the large-caliber gun, and fired a roll call!
Soon, there was no one in the car who was combat-ready.
Zhu Yu pulled out the carriage and went in, put away all the boxes, and then got off the car and left.
When he walked back to his car, Zhu Yu quietly changed out of his clothes, including gloves, hoods and shoes.
After all the changes were made, Zhu Yu felt that there should be no flaws, so he sat back in the car.
Zhu Yu sent a message to Ran Jie on his mobile phone:
"What's the situation?"
This means that your side has succeeded.
Ran Jie saw the news and left immediately. Some of the vehicles in front of them were not in much damage and were already planning to leave.
At this time, Zhu Yu saw several dark shadows coming, and someone knocked on the car window.
"Pay for it, or I'll kill you!" A man who appeared to be of Mexican descent held a gun to Zhu Yu in the car window.
Zhu Yu raised his hands and nodded helplessly.
"Lower the window!" The man waved the muzzle of the gun, and Zhu Yu had no choice but to lower the window.
Then the muzzle of the other party's gun came in.
Zhu Yu is a little funny, this product is a bit of a layman!
But it can be seen that this guy may have more than one life in his hands!
Zhu Yu suddenly stretched out his hand to hold the muzzle of the gun out of position, and then a gun appeared out of thin air in his right hand, and fired three shots at the opponent "bang bang bang"!
This man was dying, and there was still an unbelievable look in his eyes!
Zhu Yu knew that this person had accomplices, and those few had already gathered when they heard the gunshots, and Zhu Yu used this person as a cover, and with one or two shots, he knocked the person to the ground.
In addition to one person running away early, the loss on Zhu Yu's side was a few more white spots on the bulletproof glass.
After a while, the police car arrived.
Weng Xiaohai heard the sound of the police car, and then slowly got up from the seat.
When the smoke bomb exploded earlier, he immediately lay on the seat of the car, and the subsequent gunfire made him dare not look up again.
Now that he heard the sound of the police car, he finally felt safer.
When the police got to the truck, he immediately got out of the car and shouted:
"Police, there was a shootout here just now......"
In fact, he didn't need to look at it, he also knew that his family's things might have been robbed.
Sure enough, seeing the mercenaries who fell to the ground inside and outside the car, as well as the empty carriage, Weng Xiaohai was not very surprised.
This time, there were more deaths, and the police took it very seriously and brought many people to the police station.
Zhu Yu is also among them.
He is considered to be a self-defense counterattack, and the situation is relatively clear.
"Mr. Zhu, where were you when the car accident first started?"
"I got out of the car and looked at it, and then I stayed in the car." Zhu Yu said.
"Didn't you go anywhere else? Like the truck in the back? β
The police maintained a certain vigilance against Zhu Yu and were able to shoot four people alone, if it weren't for the fact that there were no clues in the car, I am afraid that the police would have listed Zhu Yu as the first suspect now!
"Nope." Zhu Yu looked at the fool with an expression, "There are gunshots over there, how dare I go over?" β
Weng Lao was originally waiting at the Metropolitan Museum, and as soon as the artifacts arrived, the donation ceremony began.
After receiving a call from his son Xiaohai and hearing that the cultural relics had been robbed, he almost fainted!
A few days ago, I said to Lao Liu that things are safer here in Lao Mei than in China, which is a slap in the face!
In order to expand the impact, the donation ceremony was to be broadcast live through the TV station, and now it is completely out of the show!
The host will not save face for the Weng family, and the news of the robbery of cultural relics immediately spread.
The ceremony ended without a problem, and Weng Lao was directly sent to the hospital.
The police are also asking if the Weng family has any enemies.
"Our family has always been law-abiding, honest, how can there be enemies?" Weng Xiaohai shouted, "There is only one possibility, that is, I don't want these things to stay at the Metropolitan Museum!" β
In fact, according to Weng Lao's meaning, things just go on quietly. After all, if the publicity is opened, there will definitely be no less infamy.
However, according to Xiaohai's meaning, since he has already donated, he will expand his influence a little. In this way, it is easier to squeeze into the upper class of New York.
After all, as soon as this reputation goes out, there should be many people who are willing to accept him.
As a result, both people and money were empty, and it became a joke.
Xiao Hai was annoyed and angry, and pointed the finger at those who did not want the artifacts to enter the Metropolitan Museum.
Then Zhu Yu entered the police's field of vision.
After all, Zhu Yu has purchased or exchanged cultural relics from abroad several times, and finally leased or donated them to domestic institutions in China.
This matter, no matter how you look at it, it looks like Zhu Yu did it.
After Xiao Hai knew about Zhu Yu's existence, he immediately determined:
"He must have done it!"
He hates these people the most!
"However, there is no evidence." The police were also depressed, and there was no trace of smoke on Zhu Yu's body. Although there were traces of a shot on his hand, it was left over from shooting in self-defense.
If Zhu Yu was a civilian, it would be easy to do it, but Zhu Yu's influence is not small!
Soon after Zhu Yu was taken to the police station, the lawyer came over.
Enlek, a well-known barrister in New York, appeared at the police station with a briefcase.
"Mr. Zhu, now you don't need to speak the whole time. As your surrogate, I'll take care of everything. β
With the lawyer's words, Zhu Yu was relieved.
The police were helpless, but the reality was so.
Zhu Yu didn't even have to pay bail, and he didn't act as a suspect.
Thin gruel.
Walking out of the police station, Zhu Yu thanked Aung Lek, who bowed slightly and said with a smile:
"That's what I'm supposed to do. Please contact me if there is anything. β
Xiao Hai was also at the door of the police station at this time, and when he saw Zhu Yu, he was in a bad mood.
I thought that the police would seriously interrogate Zhu Yu, but I didn't expect the other party to come out so quickly!
"I know you must have robbed our family's artifacts!" Xiao Hai rushed over, stood in front of Zhu Yu, and shouted, "You won't have good fruit to eat!" β
"This gentleman, watch your words!" Anglek hadn't left yet, he was standing in front of Zhu Yu, "Please be polite to my client!" Just what you said just now, I can sue you for defamation! β
After speaking, he turned his head and said to Zhu Yu:
"Mr. Zhu, don't pay attention to him."
Xiaohai was red-eared, but he didn't know what to say.
Because his family has money, he used to enjoy the "value-for-money" services of many lawyers.
I really didn't expect that now this service fell on the other party, why did he make him so uncomfortable?
Zhu Yu smiled at Xiaohai, pushed him away, got into his car, and walked away.
"Sooner or later, you'll be punished!" Xiao Hai said hatefully.
Now, the Weng family has become a joke in the circle, and the initiator must pay the price!
Back at the villa, Zhu Yu saw the three of Ran Jie who were relieved.
"Boss, are you alright? The police didn't embarrass you, did they? β
"No, I didn't do anything." Zhu Yu smiled.
"That thing ......," Cao Dalong asked.
"Safety." Zhu Yu nodded.
"Great. It's not in vain that we're scared. Cao Dalong breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked again, "Boss, you won't sell these things, right?" β
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Yu turned his head to look at him.
Ran Jie slapped him and signaled that he had said something wrong.
