Chapter 265 Back to the hotel
While they were waiting, Qi Feng asked the hotel waiter to bring over a lot of food. It seemed that he was not going to leave the room unless reinforcements arrived.
After waiting for a while, people from Soth Auction House arrived. Ten safes were placed in front of everyone one by one. They were the ten Chinese cultural relics and antiques at this auction. Except for the Langyao red gourd bottle, all the others were bought by Lin Xi.
Lin Xi and Shang Zhenguo checked each item one by one and found that they were all real and had not been swapped.
Lin Xi signed all the handover documents and asked the auction house staff to help move the safe to the bedroom, and then the auction house staff left.
As soon as everyone left, Qi Feng immediately locked the door. "From now on, everyone should be vigilant. Don't go out unless rescue comes, and don't open the door to anyone."
Lin Xi wanted to say: With a door like this, if someone really wants to come in, I can’t stop them.
However, something is better than nothing.
Shang Zhenguo closed all the windows and curtains in the suite, and the four of them stayed in the bedroom to guard the cultural relics.
Although they probably wouldn't dare to act rashly in a crowded place like a hotel, the law and order in Eagle Country is poor. Everyone can carry a gun, drugs are legalized, and there are many robberies and deaths on the streets.
In addition, the opposing forces are deeply intertwined, so if anything really happens, they don’t have to worry. Maybe they don’t even need the families behind them to take action, as someone will help them solve it.
You say this is unfair? Are there any laws left? This is simply taking human life lightly, and the state doesn't care about it?
But this is the reality. China is one of the safest countries in the world, and the safety of people in China is basically guaranteed. But if you go abroad, no one may know if you disappear one day.
You have to know that there are countless dark sides in the world that you can't even imagine, but ordinary people generally can't be exposed to them.
Everything has certain rules, and those who make and control these rules are those who are powerful, influential, and wealthy. There are even some powerful families that can override these rules. They have supreme power and people cannot resist.
Therefore, it is no wonder that Qi Feng has been very nervous since the moment he took the photo of the national treasure. As a public official in the Ministry of Finance of China, he has to fight against the powerful even if he is not on his own territory. Then they can only be lambs to be slaughtered.
Qi Feng and Shang Zhenguo stared at the door nervously, and glanced around the room from time to time. They were really restless being with these ten antique artifacts.
On the other hand, Lin Xi and Feng Yuchen were eating and drinking, not showing any signs of nervousness at all.
If you think they really did nothing, you are wrong.
Lin Xi put the last piece of the cake in his mouth, savored it carefully, and couldn't help but say, "The cake in this hotel is not bad."
Feng Yuchen responded, "I'll make it for you when I get back."
As they spoke, they both stood up. Lin Xi said to Shang Zhenguo and the other man, "Director Shang, you two will guard the cultural relics for a while. Stay in the bedroom and don't come out."
After saying that, Lin Xi and Feng Yuchen walked towards the living room of the presidential suite, leaving the two in the bedroom.
Shang Zhenguo immediately asked: "Where are you two going?"
Lin Xi smiled and replied: "Someone is coming up, let's go meet him."
Just now, both she and Feng Yuchen had detected through their spiritual sense that two teams of uninvited guests were coming up to their room.
Hearing this, Shang Zhenguo and Qi Feng became even more nervous, but Qi Feng said, "Don't be impulsive, just stay here. If you really need to go, I'll go."
Qi Feng’s idea was very simple: If anything really happens, I will take the lead and buy them as much time as possible to escape.
As for those antiques and cultural relics, I'm afraid they can't be kept.
He felt even more heartbroken when he thought about how much money he had spent on photographing these cultural relics.
But, on second thought: people are always more important than dead things.
Qi Feng's expression became more determined, he stood up and said, "I'll go."
Lin Xi now didn't know whether to say that he was courageous or stupid.
Even though he knew that going would mean death, he still rushed forward without hesitation.
However, Lin Xi was a little moved, but not much.
She said, "No, just stay in the bedroom and take care of the cultural relics."
After saying that, he went out with Feng Yuchen.
Qi Feng wanted to step forward to stop them, but when he raised his foot, he found that he couldn't move at all.
He raised his head in surprise and looked at the two of them, just in time to meet Feng Yuchen's gaze. He paused when he saw an irresistible power in the other's eyes.
When the two of them left, Qi Feng seemed to have released his seal and suddenly fell to the ground. Shang Zhenguo hurried forward to support him and asked with concern: "Old Qi, are you okay?"
Qi Feng replied blankly, "It's okay."
He stared at his legs in a daze. What happened just now? Why did he feel like he couldn't move?
He thought about Feng Yuchen's eyes and couldn't help wondering: Could it be Xiaochen who did it?
Then he denied himself, it's impossible! He didn't even touch him, how could he freeze him. Besides, where did the immobilization technique come from? It was only in martial arts novels.
Yes, it definitely couldn’t be him. It must be that my feet were numb just now.
Feng Yuchen didn't know that Qi Feng had thought so much in such a short time.
He and Lin Xi walked out of the bedroom. He first helped Lin Xi move a single sofa to the door of the bedroom, then poured her a glass of water and handed it to her, "Sit down and rest for a while."
Lin Xi took the cup of water, sat on the sofa, and nodded gently, "Yeah."
Only then did Feng Yuchen walk to the door and open it. There was a group of men in black standing outside the door. They didn't look like good people. The one in front didn't know if he was going to knock on the door or do something else. He was a little surprised when the door suddenly opened. Maybe this was not what they expected.
However, the man reacted quickly and came to his senses immediately. He muttered a few words in Eagle language to Feng Yuchen fiercely.
Feng Yuchen seemed a little impatient, "Are you done?"
The man saw that Feng Yuchen's reaction was completely beyond his expectations, and then saw that Feng Yuchen ignored them, and he immediately got angry.
He reached for his waist, and the next moment a gun was pointed at Feng Yuchen.
But Feng Yuchen was not panicked at all. His movements were so fast that no one could see. Before anyone could react, the gun was already in his hand. He slowly uttered two words in Japanese, "Garbage."
