Solving Middle Age Crisis by Intelligence System Chapter 385 - 257: Quite a Few Secrets (Double Length)

Qi Yun shook his head and said calmly, "I have no intention of selling. If you want to talk, return my item first, and then we’ll discuss other matters."

Ji Liyang heard this and stared at Qi Yun for a long ti, sensing the latter’s firm attitude.

But that Buddha Head had already been shipped to London, and he had already arranged a deal with the buyer there, so he couldn’t hand it over now.

After weighing his options for a mont, Ji Liyang tentatively asked again, "Mr. Qi, I own a five-star hotel in the Puxin District. How about I give it to you for free? Would that work?"

Qi Yun looked up, sowhat surprised, and glanced at Ji Liyang. This was Shanghai, and even if it wasn’t in a pri location, investing in a five-star hotel would cost at least fifty to sixty million, right?

The other party would rather pay such a high price than hand over the Buddha Head. Why?

Even Li Yaohua, who was standing next to them, was a bit surprised after hearing this.

Although Qi Yun’s expression was not good, he was sowhat curious inside.

He picked up the cigarette pack on the table, taking advantage of lighting a cigarette, and secretly launched an intelligence query on Ji Liyang.

[Available intelligence query types: Red (costs 3 intelligence points), Green x2 (costs 9 intelligence points)]

When he saw the changes on the transparent screen, Qi Yun’s facial muscles involuntarily twitched.

Goodness, so many secrets, even green-level intelligence, and two of them at that!

Let take a peek at your little secrets~

[Intelligence Level (Red): Ji Liyang has long known about the Buddha Head’s hidden Dog Head and has already used his connections to transport it abroad, planning to sell it for a sky-high price to a top foreign tycoon.]

After reading this intelligence information, Qi Yun’s gaze sharpened. No wonder Ji Liyang was unwilling to hand over the item; it had already been shipped abroad.

At the sa ti, he cursed inwardly, calling Ji Liyang a bastard with no bottom line, who not only exploited dostically but also sold national treasures abroad, a true loss of conscience.

Although China has specific laws prohibiting the exit of many precious cultural relics and antiques, given the other party’s local connections, achieving this wasn’t difficult.

Damn it! Things have already been transported; there’s no point in discussing this further! There’s no way to reconcile this matter!

This scoundrel must be sent in for punishnt!

[Intelligence Level (Green): Ji Liyang realized that the higher-ups were dissatisfied with him and planned to abandon him, so he secretly prepared five million euros in unregistered bonds and the Bronze Cauldron acquired from an auction, intending to visit a higher-up tonight;

The bonds are currently in a bank safe on Hong Kong Island, and Ji Liyang has arranged for a trusted aide to retrieve them, detailed information ****]

No wonder Ji Liyang caved in so quickly. It turns out he’s about to be abandoned...

Five million in unregistered bonds! Qi Yun’s heart raced.

If such illegal activity is happening, it’s my duty to stop them, now that I know about it, right?

[Intelligence Level (Green): Ji Liyang illegally transported a batch of precious cultural relics to London, including the Dog Head and Sheep Head from the Twelve Bronze Heads, with a total value exceeding five billion. These cultural relics are currently hidden in Warehouse 98 at Canary Wharf, East London.]

More surprises!

Qi Yun’s expression was rich, previously regretting the loss of the Dog Head, but now not only was its whereabouts known, but there was also an additional Sheep Head.

Not to ntion the fact that these were originally his; such precious national treasures cannot be sold to foreigners by Ji Liyang.

Ji Liyang saw that Qi Yun hadn’t spoken for a long ti and looked unsure, thinking that the latter was still dissatisfied with the price he offered. He tentatively spoke again, "Mr. Qi, if you’re still not satisfied with this condition, we..."

"Satisfied." Qi Yun snapped out of his excitent and calmly flicked the ash from his cigarette. "Prepare the transfer agreent, and we’ll settle this now, and we’ll consider everything even."

Of course, this was a lie. The hotel would be accepted, and those bonds would be accepted too, but the matter wouldn’t end there.

Ji Liyang gave Qi Yun a suspicious glance and nodded, "Okay, I’ll notify the lawyer now to prepare the relevant docunts and send them over."

Although losing a five-star hotel was painful, the profit from the Dog Head more than compensated for the loss.

Besides, what he needed most now was ti; as long as Brother Chen didn’t trouble him again and stabilized through this crisis, he could earn back ten five-star hotels in the future.

...

Over an hour later, a lawyer from the Tianyang Group arrived at the hotel with the docunts.

"Mr. Qi, take a look, and if there’re no issues, we can sign now." Ji Liyang handed over the agreent.

Qi Yun looked through it briefly and then handed it to Li Yaohua, "You sign it."

"Hmm?" Li Yaohua raised his head, puzzled, "Why should I sign it?"

"You sign first, and I’ll explain later." Qi Yun handed over the pen and urged him.

Li Yaohua stared at Qi Yun for a while and, seeing his serious expression, took the pen, looked at the docunt, and signed his na.

After both parties signed, Ji Liyang pointed to the lawyer behind him, "Let her handle the remaining procedures; everything should be settled by this morning."

"Alright." Qi Yun didn’t doubt this; although Ji Liyang lost his upper-class connections, he could still arrange such a small matter easily.

"Since the misunderstanding is cleared, Mr. Qi, you see..." Ji Liyang smiled, leaving his sentence half-finished.

Qi Yun said calmly, "I’ll notify the others, but Xiong Jun violated the law, and there’s nothing I can do."

"Of course, anyone who breaks the law should be punished accordingly." Ji Liyang replied decisively, showing no intention of bargaining, which surprised Qi Yun sowhat.

But thinking about it, Xiong Jun was just a pawn in the other party’s eyes. Without him, they could always support a Tiger Army or Leopard Army.

It was rely mutual exploitation with no sentint involved.

Qi Yun nodded slightly, "Let’s leave it at that."

With satisfaction, Ji Liyang stood up, "Alright, I still have so matters to attend to, so I won’t stay long. Farewell." With that, he left with the lawyer.

After they were far gone, Li Yaohua turned his head, full of questions, "Why did you have sign it?"

"I don’t want the hotel; it’s a gift for you." Qi Yun lit a cigarette, speaking briefly.

"A gift for ?" Li Yaohua was stunned.

Though a senior executive in the Fu Family, and quite wealthy, casually gifting a five-star hotel worth fifty to sixty million was beyond him.

"Yes, it’s for you." Qi Yun said earnestly, "This was entirely possible thanks to your help, so it’s only right you don’t walk away empty-handed. As for any favors you owe to Brother Chen’s people, I won’t interfere."

Returning to his senses, Li Yaohua quickly shook his head, "Buddy, I appreciate it, but I can’t accept the hotel."

"Helping you was purely out of our friendship, and I never expected you to repay ."

"I understand that." Qi Yun patted his shoulder, baring his teeth in grin, "You flew over from Beijing at my call; it really ward my heart."

"This hotel’s a gift, unrelated to any repaynt."

Even after hearing this, Li Yaohua hesitated, "You didn’t get back the item you spent millions on, and then you gave the compensation; how can I accept that?"

"There’s no need to feel uneasy. Let tell you sothing else." Qi Yun leaned in, lowered his voice, "This guy is in London..."

"How did you know!?" Li Yaohua turned in surprise, eyes wide, "Is the information accurate?"

Qi Yun’s face was serious, "The news just reached , it’s definitely accurate."

"So your plan is?" Li Yaohua probed.

"Exactly what you’re thinking." Qi Yun flicked his cigarette ash with determination in his voice, "Such national treasures shouldn’t be left overseas; if possible, they should be brought back."

Though Singaporean, Li Yaohua, being Chinese, agreed with Qi Yun’s idea: "How do you plan to do it?"

"First, acquire the items and return them, and then we can deliberate on donating them or otherwise. Initially, Qi Yun wanted to buy the Dog Head and donate it, but with so much more, such valuable items, a good reason would be needed for donation."
