Chapter 746 The Relationship between Zhao Quan's Family and Li Rui
Ye Rou woke up early in the morning and just as she arrived at the dining room, she saw Wang Honghong and Zhou Liang there, eating voraciously.
When they saw Ye Rou coming in, the two of them greeted her vaguely with their mouths full.
"sister in law!"
"Sister-in-law, good morning!"
Seeing that there were dark circles under their eyes, as if they had not slept all night, Ye Rou did not disturb them from eating, intending to wait until they finished eating before asking them.
At this moment, Tang Panxia also entered the dining room.
She has given up her previous elegant outfit of cheongsam and high heels and dressed neatly and simply, which makes her look much more energetic than before.
My aunt before looked like Lin Daiyu, but now she looks like Hua Mulan.
"Aunt." Ye Rou greeted with a smile.
"Xiao Rou." Tang Panxia sat beside Ye Rou and started eating breakfast.
Wait until everyone has almost finished eating.
Wang Honghong chewed the last bun and swallowed it whole. She choked and coughed. She drank a bowl of soy milk and finally felt full. She wiped her mouth and said to Ye Rou, "We caught him."
Zhou Liang nodded and said, "He was locked up in the next yard. That grandson ran so fast that he almost escaped."
Wang Honghong and Ye Rou talked about what happened in detail last night.
After Hu Xing explained the specific transaction process, Ye Rou gave up the idea of calling the police to avoid alerting the enemy.
Use Hu Xing as bait and let him take the painting to trade normally.
It was obvious that these people were veterans. The agreed place was open on all sides, so it would be easy to evacuate even if they encountered an accident.
As agreed, Hu Xing threw the package containing the calligraphy and paintings on the roadside and turned away.
Wang Honghong and Zhou Liang waited until midnight before someone came.
He was dressed in black, with a felt hat propped against his head so his face couldn't be seen. He walked slowly with his hands in his pockets, pretending to find a package by accident, picked it up and ran away!
Wang Honghong and Zhou Liang ran after him, and luckily they had a lot of people with them, so they finally blocked the enemy.
After saying that, Wang Honghong and Zhou Liang wanted to take Ye Rou to see the captured person.
Tang Panxia glanced at Ye Rou's belly, put down the bowl, and took the initiative to say: "Xiao Rou, I'll go with you."
"Okay."
The four of them entered the next yard.
The yard next door was being built, and Grandma Gao was watching over there. When she saw Ye Rou coming, she greeted her slowly and went away.
Mrs. Gao is an introvert and everyone is used to it.
There were a lot of construction materials piled in the yard, it was a mess. Tang Panxia was afraid that Ye Rou would trip, so she didn't let her in.
Wang Honghong went in and took the man out.
After a while, Wang Honghong grabbed a man by the collar and dragged him out.
The man had a pointed chin and was thin and small. His facial features were ordinary and there was nothing memorable about him. His mouth was blocked and his hands were tied. He could not run away, but he was very dishonest and kept struggling.
Wang Honghong's clothes were covered with shoe marks. She kicked the man, patted her clothes in disgust, raised her fist and threatened him, "If you don't behave, I'll tear out your teeth."
The man was frightened and squatted on the ground with his hands behind his back, panting from exhaustion. He became more obedient.
Zhou Liang asked Ye Rou: "Sister-in-law, we asked him last night, but he was very stubborn and refused to tell us anything. We still want you to come."
Zhou Liang remembered very clearly what his sister-in-law had asked Hu Xing to tell him last night with a golden needle.
Ye Rou was about to agree when her wrist was suddenly pulled.
Ye Rou turned her head to look, and saw her aunt staring at the squatting person with a look of surprise and doubt.
"Auntie, what's wrong?"
Tang Panxia retracted her gaze, approached Ye Rou and whispered, "Xiao Rou, come out with me for a moment."
Ye Rou didn't understand what was going on, but she still followed her aunt out.
As soon as he went out, Tang Panxia immediately said, "I know who that person is. I've seen him!"
Ye Rou was shocked when she heard that.
Tang Panxia continued, "Before Zhao Quan and his family came back, I had been guarding outside the old house. I remember this person very clearly. He came several times."
"Later, after Zhao Quan and his family came back, this man came again, but mostly in the evening or later. I remember him because he always carried a box."
After hearing what her aunt said, Ye Rou understood everything.
No wonder Zhao Quan, who always acts cautiously, is willing to return to Beijing despite the risk of having his identity exposed. It turns out that he wants to smuggle cultural relics!
Ye Rou made a bold guess based on the information her aunt had previously obtained.
Zhao Quan pretended to be Tang Panxia's father while abroad and took possession of the Tang family's property. After squandering it all over the years, by chance, he came up with the idea of smuggling cultural relics.
No wonder he let his sister pretend to be his wife. It turned out that they had no intention of staying for long. Perhaps after getting these cultural relics, they would go abroad.
Jiang Chen said that Li Rui was engaged in the business of smuggling cultural relics. This was also true according to Officer Cheng's investigation. It was true that Li Rui used ships to smuggle cultural relics, but the key evidence was lacking.
Officer Cheng and his men kept an eye on Li Rui and his men's whereabouts in Beijing, but they never found any evidence of smuggling of cultural relics.
Perhaps, the root cause is that Li Rui is only responsible for transporting cultural relics abroad, while Zhao Quan is the one responsible for collecting the cultural relics!
Then what happened to Zhou Liang’s family makes sense.
The front door of Zhou Liang's house faces the side back door of Tang's house. There are only two families in that alley. It was originally an extremely concealed route for transporting things, but because of Zhou Liang's family, it became a hidden danger.
The Tang family wanted to use the "falling into the water" incident to drive Zhou Liang's family away. In this way, without anyone watching them, they could transport the cultural relics boldly.
But there was one thing that Ye Rou couldn't understand.
Tang Panxia saw Ye Rou frowning and asked her what she was thinking about.
Ye Rou told her guess truthfully.
Tang Panxia nodded as she listened.
Ye Rou frowned slightly and expressed her confusion: "Aunt, how did Zhao Quan's family get in touch with Li Rui?"
Such a dangerous cooperation would never be possible without an unbreakable relationship.
How could Li Rui, such a cautious person, be willing to let Zhao Quan's family collect the cultural relics?
Tang Panxia pondered for a while, and suddenly said: "Maybe I know the reason."
Ye Rou asked hurriedly: "Aunt, what do you know?"
"I have been asking about their family for some time. It seems that the wife Zhao Quan's son married has the surname Li."
Last name: Li...
Ye Rou calculated her age.
Li Rui and Qu Zhi are of the same age, but Li Rui is older than my aunt.
Butler Zhao's son and his aunt are about the same age, so...
Ye Rou widened her eyes slightly and thought of someone.
Li Guang married two wives successively. Li Rui was the son born to him by his first wife, and his second wife gave birth to a girl.
This girl might have married Zhao Quan's son!
No wonder Li Rui trusts Zhao Quan's family.
After all, it’s my sister’s in-laws’ family…
Then it all makes sense.
According to what Jiang Chen said last night, after Li Rui realized the risks of smuggling people, he gradually stopped this business and turned his attention to reselling cultural relics.
After Li Rui's sister found out, perhaps she also wanted to get a piece of the pie, so she brought the Zhao family on board.
That's why Zhao Quan and his family suddenly returned to China!
