When he first heard Cai Meilin talk about Mr. Chen and the Golden Buddha, Li Yu felt angry. A master like Dong Bolin traveled thousands of miles to Yuhai. It was not enough to invite Cai Meilin, and he also wanted to invite him Li Yu to be a bodyguard. The purpose was to shoot a golden Buddha for an old man who was said to be a founding father. Is this old man very much? Why did Li Yu go to Southeast Asia for his bullshit things?

Well, since they are the founding fathers, they must be very face-saving. Don’t you see Dong and Cai and both feel flattered? But are you willing to be arrogant? That’s your business, what does it have to do with me, Li Yu?

It is because he still has some old friendship with Cai Meilin, and Cai Meilin is an elder, Li Yu has to give him some face, otherwise he would have left long ago and would not be here to talk nonsense with these people.

Dong Bolin could not see his thoughts, because in his mind, Mr. Chen is the old leader. Do you still need to explain what the old leader wants to do? As for Cai Meilin, perhaps because she has been in the mall for a long time and believes in the principle of doing business. Although Mr. Chen has retired, his status in China is still very prominent. Countless people have no chance to do something for Mr. Chen. How could he understand Li Yu’s idea?

Among the three, only Gao Shixin knew young people well because of his identity as a college teacher, so he could guess Li Yu's thoughts. He knew that if he wanted to persuade Li Yu to participate in this matter, he had to explain the causes and consequences of the matter clearly.

"Li Yu, you misunderstood." Gao Shixin said seriously.

"Teacher Gao, please speak." Li Yu responded respectfully.

Gao Shixin said: "Do you think Mr. Chen is doing too much to mobilize all his troops for a golden Buddha?"

Li Yu didn't say anything, but in fact he made a promise.

Gao Shixin said: "Actually, this is not what you think. Mr. Chen is not a collector, and there are no precious antiques in his family. He entrusted Mr. Cai to take back this golden Buddha because this golden Buddha was stolen from China by the Japanese invaders 70 years ago. Mr. Chen is already in his prime. He wants to find this golden Buddha that has been lost overseas in his lifetime, so he asked Mr. Cai and Captain Dong to go on a trip to Southeast Asia."

"Is this golden Buddha very important to Mr. Chen?" Li Yu asked. It has been half a year since he came to this era, and he has already understood the history of the past few hundred years. He knows about the War of Resistance and knows that in those years when he was bullied by the great powers, many cultural relics in China were robbed. Then the question arises. So many cultural relics have been lost overseas. Why did Mr. Chen only find this golden Buddha?

Gao Shixin smiled faintly and said, "You asked the point, this golden Buddha is indeed very important to Mr. Chen. At the beginning, when he learned that the Japanese invaders were going to rob a batch of precious Chinese cultural relics back to Japan, his superiors ordered Mr. Chen to lead a force to stop the Japanese invaders' conspiracy. Mr. Chen and his comrades fought bloody battles and sacrificed dozens of comrades, but ultimately failed to do so due to the disparity in strength. Mr. Chen has always been worried about this matter. He wants to find this golden Buddha back in his lifetime to comfort the heroes who sacrificed his comrades."

"So that's it." Li Yu suddenly realized. Thinking back to Dong Berlin and the others' performance, he could understand it.

"What do you think it's like?" Dong Bolin snorted unhappily. He now understood. It turned out that Li Yu was holding his breath in this place, imagining Mr. Chen as a arrogant and extravagant villain.

"Sorry. Captain Dong, I misunderstood." Li Yu said frankly.

Cai Meilin also sighed: "Oh, it's all my fault that I didn't explain it clearly. I think Mr. Chen is well-known for his reputation and is unexpected..."

Gao Shixin explained with a smile: "Li Yu has been living in the mountains in the past and has not had a particularly understanding of external things. It is normal to have such misunderstandings. However, it is because of this that the value of Li Yu, a young man, is revealed, and he is unwilling to join power. Doing anything comes from his original heart. Now there are not many people who can have such morality."

"Yes, yes, Professor Gao is still understanding. Li Yu is indeed quite valuable when he says this." Cai Meilin hurriedly took over the conversation. No matter whether Li Yu was right or wrong just now, it is not the time to accuse Li Yu of being accused of Li Yu. He is still counting on Li Yu to help. Gao Shixin's words are equivalent to setting a ladder for everyone. How can Cai Meilin such a smart person be so quick to agree?

"Boss Cai, keep talking about it, what's going on?" Li Yu exposed the topic and said to Cai Meilin.

"Continue?" Cai Meilin was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, I will continue... The situation is like this. The devils stole a lot of cultural relics from China and transported them back to their country. In the 1950s and 1960s, during the period of economic reconstruction in Japan, domestic funds were difficult, so the Japanese government took the stolen cultural relics to the international cultural relics market for sale in exchange for domestic construction funds. Because Japan was a defeated country, these cultural relics should be returned to the original owner, and openly selling them would cause public outrage. Therefore, the Japanese government adopted the method of secret sales. These cultural relics did not go through formal trading channels, but flowed into some underground cultural relics smuggling channels."

"Does this include this golden Buddha?" Li Yu asked.

"Yes." Dong Bolin's mood was calm at this time. He took Dong Bolin's words and said, "Old Chen has always been very concerned about the loss of the Golden Buddha overseas. In the past, our country was poor and it was impossible for us to have funds to redeem these lost cultural relics. In recent years, our national strength has improved, and the return of overseas cultural relics has been increasingly valued. Mr. Chen has a son who is a very successful multinational entrepreneur. He has always remembered Mr. Chen's wish and has redeemed many lost cultural relics overseas, but he has never found this Golden Buddha.

Not long ago, through some private channels, Mr. Chen’s son... By the way, we all called him Mr. Chen, and learned that a cultural relics smuggling group in Southeast Asia had obtained this golden Buddha and planned to auction it in an underground auction market in Country A. Mr. Chen was very excited when he learned the news. Mr. Chen also wanted to help Mr. Chen to make this wish while the old man was still alive, so he took such an action."

"Then why did Brother Dong find Yuhai?" Li Yu asked in surprise.

Dong Berlin pointed at Cai Meilin and said, "Boss Cai is very familiar with the cultural relics smuggling market in Southeast Asia, so..."

"Uh..." Cai Meilin looked a little embarrassed. Dong Bolin's words didn't seem to be praising people. He explained slowly: "I have also been involved in some underground smuggling. As for ourselves, we have never done such a thing before. Professor Gao can prove this."

"Haha, Lao Cai, you don't need to explain this matter. Captain Dong has no intention of investigating your smuggling." Gao Shixin smiled and smoothed out the situation.

Dong Bolin also smiled and said, "Old Chen also heard from several authorities in the cultural relics industry in Beijing that he knew Boss Cai's name, so he specially arranged for me to come to Yuhai to invite Boss Cai out of the mountain. The situation in the underground cultural relics market is very complicated. If there is no one who knows how to guide the way, we may not even be able to touch the door. Boss Cai, don't worry, this matter will never affect your reputation. Mr. Chen said, if you can help him get this done, he will thank you specifically."

Cai Meilin smiled and waved her hand and said, "How dare you? You can do something for Mr. Chen, and it's such a glorious thing. Even if I want to thank you?"

Speaking of this, everyone's grudges were eliminated. According to Cai Meilin, the underground auction market in Southeast Asia is very secretive. In order to avoid official intervention, the number of people who can enter the auction market is strictly limited. If he wants to participate in the auction, he can only bring two helpers around him. Dong Bolin can accompany him as a bodyguard, and the other person needs to appear as a friend, and at the same time he needs to have superb martial arts to prevent accidents.

After thinking about it, Cai Meilin thought of Li Yu. When the Medicinal Food Store opened, Li Yu fought dozens of gangsters by himself and fought with the famous Rong Yunjian. His martial arts were trustworthy. So he recommended Li Yu to Dong Berlin, saying that he could invite Li Yu to go with him. Dong Berlin asked Ou Liwen, but found that Li Yu was actually Ou Liwen's informant, and had fought with his favorite disciple Chen Shaobo, which caused Chen Shaobo to suffer a lot of losses. Dong Berlin then decided to invite Li Yu over to meet him, and when Li Yu entered the door, he attacked him to try whether Li Yu was really worthy of his reputation.

"It turns out that the hero comes from a young man." Dong Bolin nodded with emotion and expressed his recognition of Li Yu's martial arts.

"Li Yu, the situation in Southeast Asia is very complicated. This time, there may be some risks. You must be mentally prepared for this." Gao Shixin reminded.

"I understand." Li Yu replied that since it is an underground smuggling market, it is naturally a mixture of fish and dragons. It has been like this throughout history. Li Yu also worked as a bodyguard for people back then, and went to such an underground black market to engage in transactions, and had enough understanding of this situation.

"Can you use guns?" Dong Bolin asked suddenly.

"Should you know a little." Li Yu nodded and responded.

"I'm afraid it's not enough," said Dong Berlin. "The black-gang forces in Southeast Asia all have guns, and martial arts alone are not enough to protect themselves. This way, there are still two weeks before the auction. I'll ask Xiao Ou to help you apply for a passport and visa. Don't arrange anything else these days. I'll train your marksmanship and some other skills at the storm."
