Chapter 1566 Illegal Cultural Relic Auction
"Uncle Cai, what happened?"
Shen Binglan asked with concern.
Looking at Cai Ping's expression, something was really wrong.
What exactly can make Cai Ping so angry?
Chen Xuan and Shen Binglan walked into the living room together and came to Cai Ping.
Seeing the two of them coming back, Cai Ping slowly let go of his clenched fists, and then sighed heavily: "Oh, the fourth illegal cultural relics auction is about to be held."
“Illegal Cultural Relics Auction?”
Chen Xuan was slightly surprised when he heard this, "Mr. Cai, please tell me in detail."
"It's like this. Since 1840, the invaders have snatched a large number of rare antique cultural relics from our China and brought them back to their own country. They are placed on the surface in various museums and exhibitions, but secretly held several extremely shameless illegal auctions. Because these cultural relics are placed in museums and cannot be converted into actual benefits for them, but if they are taken out for auction, many super rich people will be willing to take over. Many antique cultural relics in our China can be sold at unimaginable sky-high prices. This is a huge income for those shameless plunderers and will definitely make them go further in the business world or politics."
After Cai Ping said this, Chen Xuan and Shen Binglan finally understood why he was so angry.
Even if they don’t pay much attention to antiques and cultural relics, they feel very angry after hearing this.
The rare treasures of one's own country have now become tools for foreigners to seek personal gain. As a Chinese, it is impossible not to be angry or regretful.
"Mr. Cai, you said that the auction of illegal cultural relics has been held for four sessions. It seems that many Chinese cultural relics have been auctioned by foreign wealthy people and have been collected as private collections, right?"
Chen Xuan quickly thought of this troublesome problem.
A large amount of cultural relics in China have been lost overseas, and it is extremely difficult to recover them.
It would be fine if it was concentrated in the hands of several countries. If it was bought by private people, according to the auction regulations to protect the privacy of customers, God knows who bought those cultural relics.
It is impossible to recover it.
Cai Ping said sadly: "Doctor Chen, you are right. The first three auctions were held in 1961, 1980 and 1998, and the addresses were North America, Europe and Australia respectively. In these three auctions, a total of thousands of Chinese cultural relics were sold, including several national treasures. Alas, these bastards, using our national treasures as tools for exchange of interests is really infuriating!"
"So Mr. Cai, do you know the time and location of the fourth auction?"
Chen Xuan asked calmly.
But there was a hint of coldness in his tone.
Cai Ping couldn't hear it, but Shen Binglan understood what Chen Xuan was thinking in his heart at once.
"I just learned the details of the fourth auction, so I was so angry."
Cai Ping said, unknowingly clenching his fists again, his body trembling slightly with anger, "This auction is held in a certain waters in Southeast Asia. It will be two days later, but I don't know which waters it is. I am asking a friend who has a common ambition with me to inquire."
Chen Xuan nodded and then fell into deep thought.
Seeing Chen Xuan like this, Shen Binglan immediately remembered the phone call she had when she was in the car just now.
"Chen Xuan, are you... planning to take care of this matter?"
"I'll help Mr. Cai find out the specific venue first."
Although Chen Xuan did not answer directly, his meaning was already very obvious.
So, Shen Binglan fell into silence.
Cai Ping asked curiously: "Doctor Chen, can you ask me if you have any connections?"
"You actually knew my connection last night, Mr. Cai."
Chen Xuan smiled slightly and said, "It's Liang Pei, the top big boss in Xingjia Singapore. I think with his background and energy, we should be able to find the specific information of this illegal auction."
"Yes, I forgot Liang Pei!"
Cai Ping's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Then please ask Dr. Chen for helping me. As long as it involves black industry and illegal transactions, he can definitely find it. After all, this is his field."
Chen Xuan nodded, picked up his cell phone without saying a word and called Liang Pei.
This mobile phone number was naturally what Liang Pei asked Cai Wen to tell Chen Xuan that night.
"Who?"
After the phone was connected, Liang Pei asked indifferently.
If an ordinary person had heard Liang Pei's tone, he would have been shocked by the first words.
But Chen Xuan was not affected at all: "Liang Pei, it's me."
"Mr. Evil Emperor! You, did you actually call me?"
Liang Pei will never forget Chen Xuan's voice in his life, nor dare to forget it.
When Chen Xuan called, Liang Pei was so flattered that he was so excited that he couldn't even speak properly and instantly lost his composure.
"Liang Pei, help me check the information of the illegal cultural relics auction held in Southeast Asia. I need to know the specific venue."
Chen Xuan said straight to the point.
"You want to check for illegal cultural relics auctions?"
Liang Pei did not agree immediately, but asked in surprise.
Chen Xuan said coldly: "What, can't you do it?"
"No, no, it's not that I can't do it, but the forces behind the illegal cultural relics auctions are complex, involving North America, Europe's major power consortiums, underground black markets, and even the international dark web are even said to be involved, let alone other complex forces of all sizes. It can be said that behind the illegal cultural relics auctions is a giant beyond imagination!"
When Liang Pei explained, his tone was filled with fear.
“So what?
You can check it out, just check it out for me.”
Chen Xuan was not shaken by this and still gave a cold command.
When Liang Pei heard this, he smiled bitterly on the other end of the phone: "Mr. Evil Emperor, I will help you check it out now, but I still want to remind you that if you plan to attend the auction, it is best to try not to provoke the forces behind it."
"Let's take a look then."
Since Chen Xuan made up his mind to stop this auction, it would be impossible not to fight with the forces behind the auction.
But he didn't understand why Liang Pei asked him not to provoke those forces after he knew his identity as an evil emperor.
Are those forces really powerful, and even Liang Pei has no confidence in him?
No matter what, what Chen Xuan made up his mind would never change.
After talking on the phone, Liang Pei quickly sent a specific information for the auction.
The venue is on the Java Sea in the western Pacific Ocean.
The Java Sea is close to Indonesia and is an important maritime channel in Southeast Asia. The illegal auction is held in the Java Sea, which may be considered to be convenient transportation for major forces.
"Mr. Cai, I already know the venue. In two days, we will go to Java Sea to attend the auction."
Chen Xuan said, and showed Cai Ping the message sent by Liang Pei.
