Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
In order to save Lin Qianqian from doing the work alone, Fuuma Jianwu put down the teacup and walked over to help her remove the oilcloth.
As the two of them removed the oilcloth, a unique smell of bronze artifacts that had been accumulated over the years immediately spread.
At the same time, a large group of bronze ware was displayed in an orderly manner in front of everyone’s eyes, just like a museum exhibit.
Lin Qianqian only took a cursory glance and felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
Ye Feng had said there were 128 pieces before, and she believed him without a doubt.
However, when she untied the oilcloth and saw the 128 bronze artifacts, she realized that she had underestimated the weight of the 128 bronze artifacts.
There were a total of 128 pieces of bronze ware. Other than the chamber pot that she took out for the first time, the rest were all precious bronze ware such as swords, cauldrons, statues, and square plates.
“You better not tell me that these are all from the Qin Dynasty.”
Lin Qianqian could not help but swallow her saliva.
Ye Feng took a sip of tea and smiled. “Congratulations, you got it right.”
“Unfortunately, there are no prizes.”
“How is this possible?” Lin Qianqian found it hard to believe. After a moment of shock, she quickly squatted down and began to appraise the bronze artifacts in this area.
Ye Feng did not care about her actions, he only turned to look at Fuuma Jianwu. “The Fuuma clan is still secretly guarding the warehouse, right?”
“Yes, Master.” Fuuma Jianwu hurriedly nodded.
“The Fuuma clan and the Sky Wolf Squad are all secretly protecting the warehouse.”
“Master, are you going to make any new arrangements?”
Ye Feng nodded. “Tonight, Lin Qianqian and the others will be transporting this batch of antiques and treasures back to Lingnan.”
“If the escort work is handed over to someone else, I won’t be at ease.”
“When the time comes, arrange for the Sky Wolf team and the ninjas of the Fuuma Clan to send a group of people to secretly protect them.”
Fuuma Jianwu hurriedly agreed.
Ye Feng thought for a moment, he took out his phone and called Feng Shaokun.
As soon as the call went through, the other party picked up as expected. “What can I do for you, Master?”
Ye Feng was not in a hurry to talk about it, he asked with concern, “How is Uncle Feng doing now?”
“Better than ever.” When Feng Shaokun mentioned this, his tone was very excited.
“Ever since you treated him, the smile on his face has never stopped.”
“The officers who have been with him all year round said that after working for him for ten years, the number of times they have seen him smile is not as many as today.”
“It will get better and better in the future.” Ye Feng returned a smile, he chatted with Feng Shaokun for a while before cutting to the chase. “It’s like this –”
“I have two people under my command. Today, they will be transporting a batch of very valuable antiques from Jiangzuo back to Lingnan.”
“Do you have any transport fleet going to Lingnan from the Jiangzuo Theater of Operations tonight?”
“If there is, I will have my subordinates form a team with the transport fleet of your Jiangzuo Theater of Operations.”
Feng Shaokun definitely understood Ye Feng’s meaning, he replied without hesitation, “This is a small matter.”
“I’ll help you ask around.”
“There should be updates in a few minutes.”
Ye Feng did not waste any time, after replying, he hung up the phone and continued drinking his tea.
At this moment, Lin Qianqian had finished appraising a few bronze items when her eyes suddenly turned dull.
Her entire body froze.
Ye Feng felt that her reaction was very funny, so he immediately teased her. “How is it, Great Appraiser Lin?”
“What’s the result?”
Only then did Lin Qianqian react. She turned around abruptly. “They’re the real thing!”
“I’ve appraised five bronze artifacts, and they’re all authentic.”
“And they are all cultural relics of the Qin Dynasty.”
“Each of them is indeed worth more than ten million!”
As she spoke, she looked at Ye Feng in shock. “Did you poke Emperor Qin Shihuang’s nest?”
“Where did you get so many Qin Dynasty bronzes?!”
“There are a total of 128 bronze artifacts, and each one is more precious than the last. The total price of these items alone is probably more than 1.5 billion!”
Ye Feng did not care about her last two sentences, he just laughed. “I wouldn’t go so far as to poke Qin Shihuang’s nest.”
“However, it’s not much different.”
As he spoke, he gestured for her to continue looking at the area covered by the oilcloth. “What you saw just now was only bronze.”
“There’s also a painting area, a jade area, a porcelain area, a gold and silver treasure area, and so on.”
“There’s no hurry. You can see them one by one and then express your opinions.”
Lin Qianqian was absolutely numb.
After hearing Ye Feng’s introduction and looking around the warehouse, her body shook violently.
“Don’t tell me that there are antiques and treasures under all of these oilcloths.”
Ye Feng was still smiling.
Although he did not say anything, his expression explained everything.
Seeing this, Lin Qianqian was speechless.
After a moment of silence, she finally said, “Just tell me how much these things are worth. Let me give up.”
Ye Feng looked around the warehouse. “As for the details, I have not calculated them one by one.”
“When I was sorting out the antiques, I roughly estimated that the bronze antiques I left for the Maple Pavilion are worth about 2 billion, the jade antiques are worth about 3.6 billion, the calligraphy antiques are worth about 4.5 billion, the porcelain antiques are worth about 2.8 billion, and the miscellaneous antiques are worth about 1.2 billion… If everything is added together, the total price is more than 14 billion.”
“How much?!” Lin Qianqian probably couldn’t believe the number she heard.
Ye Feng repeated. “Fourteen billion.”
“Moreover, this is only the antiques I left for the Maple Pavilion.”
“Other than the portion for the Maple Pavilion, I’ve also reserved some antiques that are more suitable for Sotheby’s Auction House to auction. The total value of those things is more than 13 billion.”
“Fourteen billion, plus 13 billion? 27 billion?” Lin Qianqian’s mouth was so wide that an egg could fit in it. “Are you sure you didn’t poke Qin Shihuang’s nest?”
Ye Feng ignored her last sentence. He passed her a cup of tea and gestured for her to drink some tea to moisten her throat, he then smiled. “Now you believe me that Manager Sun’s friends can’t guarantee the safety of these antiques, right?”
