Chapter 129: Illegal Treasure(1/2)
In a courtyard of a single-family house in New York City, Xu Qingyao was restless.
It has been half a year since she came to New York, and she hardly dares to go out except to buy necessities.
There was a villa in her name in New York City, but less than a month after coming here, the villa was confiscated.
Not only this villa, she learned through phone calls that several of her other properties in the United States had also been confiscated and auctioned off.
In order to escape from the country, Xu Qingyao didn't bring much cash. Several credit cards had been locked, and there was only one card in a false name, which still had some money in it.
With this little money, she can no longer survive for a month.
As the leader of a state-owned enterprise, my mother has made too much money by taking advantage of her position for more than 20 years.
But currently, most of them have been taken back by people sent by the state——
This is no longer those years.
As long as the corrupt officials and their families who escaped in those years kept their names anonymously, the United States would not cooperate in sending them back.
After all, money is spent here and taxes are paid here, so America is not stupid.
But in recent years, the agreements between the two countries have become more and more complete. It is no longer the best choice for corrupt officials to go to Laos and the United States.
But Xu Qingyao had no choice. These properties were purchased by her mother a few years ago. She was just a student, could she make the decision?
Now that my mother has been arrested in China, she absolutely dares not return to China.
As for these properties, she used them as she could. They were left by her mother anyway.
As for how her mother got it, she didn't care.
It's just that there are too few available.
Looking at the container list on the table, Xu Qingyao thought for a while and gave up.
It has expired three months ago.
Originally, when I arrived, I should have gone to collect it and bring back the things inside.
My mother had secretly told herself that there was something in it that would allow her to live a lifetime.
It's a pity that Xu Qingyao moved here after discovering something was wrong.
I never had the chance to pick it up, as I was afraid of being caught, investigated, and taken away.
Now that he had finally relaxed a little and didn't have much money in his hand, Xu Qingyao thought of this box.
She looked at the phone number on the list, hesitated, and called.
The call was connected quickly.
I heard that Xu Qingyao wanted to check the container, so he was asked to report the tracking number.
When Xu Qingyao reported it, the other party checked and said immediately:
"Expired and sold at auction."
"What?" Xu Qingyao said angrily, "Why are you auctioning my container? It's my stuff in there!"
"Because it's due, you didn't renew the rent!"
The other party was more powerful than Xu Qingyao and hung up the phone after speaking.
It's over, it's all over!
Xu Qingyao sat down on the sofa.
How can I survive if I have no money in the future?
From the time he was born and grew up to now, Xu Qingyao has basically been wearing clothes and food and opening his mouth.
It was during this period of time that Lao Mei was hiding here that she began to officially live her own life. Even so, she ordered semi-cooked food and simply processed it when she came back.
If she hadn't been afraid of being caught and taken back to the country, she would have gone out to eat delicious food - the food she processed herself was so unpalatable!
Now that I don’t even have the money, what should I do?
Xu Qingyao wanted to cry but had no tears.
The phone rang.
She looked down and saw that it was the number she had dialed just now.
"Your container was sold to a Chinese person three days ago. If you want to know, his number is here."
Chinese?
Xu Qingyao was immediately happy and asked for her phone number.
Xu Qingyao didn't know why the other party gave her the Chinese number, but with this number, she could at least see if she could recover those things!
When Xu Qingyao called, Zhu Yu had already brought all these things to the villa.
There are so many Chinese antiques that must not be available to ordinary people.
Either he is a dealer in cultural relics, or he is someone related to cultural relics.
But no matter who it was, Zhu Yu had no intention of returning it.
Especially the ivory mat.
He has no intention of selling!
This thing can be passed down from generation to generation!
I don't know how the other party got it.
Even Cathy was shocked to see so many small artifacts.
Following Zhu Dajiang, she knew a little about Chinese cultural relics. She occasionally saw some Chinese cultural relics in the beautiful country, but she had never seen so many at once!
When Zhu Yu was cleaning things, he found a set of documents in the suitcase.
"Xu Qingyao?" Zhu Yu felt a little familiar when he heard this name!
He immediately checked online and found out.
This is the daughter of a corrupt official who has been imprisoned.
Zhu Yu immediately figured out the origin of these things!
These materials include not only Xu Qingyao, but also some pseudonyms, but looking at the photos, they are all the same person.
There is also information on several properties, as well as documentation on a villa.
Zhu Yu shook his head. It seemed that it was better not to keep these things in his hands.
Although it can be sold for some money, it is very hot.
Zhu Yu asked himself that as an ordinary person, it would be better not to get involved in some things.
He put the information aside and thought of a safer way.
I definitely have to keep the ivory mat, but forget about the rest.
With that pirate treasure, plus the gold bars and cash in the safe, Zhu Yu's debts were almost paid off.
As for those cultural relics, if you want to find them in China, there will be many ways.
Although he didn't know what level of cultural relics these little things were, but since they were from thousands of years ago, they were probably not low.
If you have those gold bars and cash, just return them.
At this moment, the cell phone rang.
An unknown number.
Zhu Yu picked up the answer, and Xu Qingyao asked a little anxiously:
"Hello, is this Mr. Zhu? I am the owner of the container you bought the day before yesterday. Is it okay if I spend three times the money to buy that container back?"
"It's too late, it's been auctioned off!"
Hearing the other party's voice, Zhu Yu immediately thought that this woman should be Xu Qingyao.
"It was auctioned off?" Xu Qingyao didn't believe it.
"I bought these abandoned containers just for auction. They have all been auctioned today."
Xu Qingyao is like mourning an heir!
How could it be auctioned off?
She thought for a while, regained her composure and asked again:
"Do you know who the auction is for?"
"It was done by my subordinates, I don't know." Zhu Yu looked businesslike, "We will not trace the whereabouts of the box after the auction. The money and goods will be cleared."
Xu Qingyao didn't expect Zhu Yu to be so ruthless——
She hung up the phone, not knowing what to do.
Zhu Yu immediately called the warehouse owner:
To be continued...
