“You guys are at least an official archeological team in name now. You guys aren’t afraid of being reported, right?”
Ye Feng looked at their fearless expressions and knew what they were thinking.
“It’s good that you know. We’re an official archeological team now. If you dare to use illegal means to force us, do you believe that we won’t call the police?” Yi Antong was the one who complained first, he was the one who threatened Ye Feng.
“Call the police? Hahaha, is this a thief crying about a thief? If the people from the Office of Personnel come and learn that you have robbed a few tombs, I wonder if they will give each of you a pair of silver bracelets?” Ye Feng sat back on the sofa and crossed his legs.
“What nonsense are you spouting? We’re a proper archeological team. How can we rob a tomb? You’re slandering us. Be careful or we’ll sue you for slander.” The scar-faced man had learned a lot of tricks, and when he said these words, his face did not turn red nor did his heart jump.
Ye Feng already knew that they would deny it, he shook his head and smiled. “It seems that you are not giving up until the end, do you want me to show you some evidence?”
“Then show it. We want to see what evidence you have. We do things with a clear conscience. Don’t even think about framing us.” Yi Antong continued to provoke him.
He felt that Ye Feng was bluffing, they had always been careful, and the other party would not be able to produce any evidence.
Ye Feng saw that he was still stubborn, he could only extend his hand to Fuuma Jianwu.
Fuuma Jianwu immediately opened her bag and took out a thick stack of papers. She handed it to her master with both hands.
After Ye Feng took it, he picked up the few pieces on the top. “These are the antiques that you sold three years ago, they are all bronze artifacts from the Eastern Han Dynasty, each of them is a masterpiece…”
As he spoke, he placed the papers on the coffee table.
Each piece of paper had a picture, as well as the basic information of these items, including the selling price.
When Yi Antong and the other three saw these pieces of paper, their expressions changed drastically.
These few items were indeed sold through some channels.
However, this matter was very confidential. Very few people knew about it, and they were all reliable buyers in the industry.
How did Ye Feng know?
The four of them looked at each other, their faces solemn.
Ye Feng then took out a few pieces of paper. “This is a batch of bronze ware that you sold in March of last year, it was also from the Eastern Han Dynasty. If I’m not wrong, you guys robbed a tomb of the Eastern Han Dynasty and then sold the stuff in batches, right?”
“You… You’re talking nonsense. We didn’t sell these at all.” The scar-faced man hurriedly denied it, but his voice was flustered and guilty.
Ye Feng smiled and took out a few more pieces of paper. “These are the antiques from the Western Jin Dynasty that you sold last August, there are celadon, terracotta, and bronze… Did you guys rob a Western Jin tomb? You have some skills.”
The more he spoke, the uglier the expressions of Yi Antong and the others became.
The other party had come prepared and had already investigated them thoroughly.
This made them even more terrified and uneasy.
These transaction records were extremely confidential. How did this guy know?
Ye Feng naturally would not tell them that he had obtained all this information through Chen Qiushan.
These were the core secrets of Sotheby’s, and they couldn’t be told to outsiders.
It was only because Chen Qiushan had a close relationship with him that he took the risk to reveal this information to him.
From this, one could see Chen Qiushan’s trust in him.
If this matter wasn’t handled well, Chen Qiushan might lose his job and even become a disgrace to the entire antique industry.
This was because leaking the information of the customers was very bad behavior in the antique industry.
Chen Qiushan had placed all his future in his hands.
This made Ye Feng very touched.
Then, he placed the remaining transaction information in front of Yi Antong and the other three.
“Now, do you still dare to say that you are innocent?”
The expressions of Yi Antong and the other three were extremely ugly.
Ye Feng had already exposed all of their secrets, just these records alone were enough to make them spend the rest of their lives in prison.
The other three looked at Yi Antong. He was the boss of this gang, and everything was up to him.
Yi Antong gritted his teeth. When he raised his head to look at Ye Feng, his face was filled with smiles. “Mister Ye, I didn’t know about your methods previously. I’m sorry for offending you, I hope you can forgive me.”
When Ye Feng saw that his expression changed so quickly, he was amused. “What does Professor Yi mean by this? Didn’t you just say that you had a clear conscience?”
Yi Antong smiled in a panic. “I didn’t expect Mr. Ye to have already investigated our background. I’m really acting like an expert in front of a genius. I’ve made a fool of myself.”
Ye Feng sneered, picked up the lunch box, and started eating again. “Since you have already admitted it, there is nothing else to say, go to the Office of Personnel and turn yourself in.”
Yi Antong’s expression changed continuously as he forced a smile again.
“Mr. Ye, we can discuss things. Since you want to enter this tomb, the four of us can be your lackeys and help you scout the way.”
Hearing Yi Antong’s words, the other three also nodded.
“We’re willing to serve Mr. Ye. Please be magnanimous.”
“We guarantee that we won’t take a single cent from the opening of the tomb this time. All the treasures obtained will belong to Mr. Ye.”
“There must be quite several secret traps in this tomb. We are willing to explore the way for you…”
Ye Feng heard their attitude and smiled disdainfully. “No need, I have a way to enter.”
Yi Antong gritted his teeth and decided to go all out. “How about this, Mr. Ye? We are willing to give you all our savings over the years, about three to four hundred million yuan. I hope you can be magnanimous and let us off.”
“Big brother…”
The other three immediately looked at Yi Antong unwillingly.
This was all the savings they had accumulated over the years. Now that they were giving it all away, it made their hearts ache.
But Yi Antong did not look at them, he was staring at Ye Feng.
Now, their lives were all in the hands of the other party.
“You want to bribe me with just a few hundred million?”
Ye Feng saw Yi Antong’s actions and was disappointed.
He originally thought that this guy who knew how to rob tombs under the guise of archaeology was very smart.
He didn’t expect him to be so low-brow.
“You don’t even care about a few hundred million? Who exactly are you?”
Yi Antong was instantly confused.
He had thought that the other party would be overjoyed when they heard that it was a few hundred million yuan and would let them go.
Who would have thought that Ye Feng did not care about this?
What kind of person would not be tempted by a few hundred million yuan?
At this moment, Fuuma Jianwu, who had been sitting at the side without saying a word, suddenly spoke up. “My master has tens of billions of assets under his name. Why would he care about a mere few hundred million?”
