The Two Heroes of the Ye Family

Chapter 245 Take precautions before it happens

Ye Minghao had a strong sense of crisis. He knew that his third brother had purchased a large number of ancient paintings and antiques in the past month.

I'm afraid the Japanese devils have already set their sights on him.

"Third brother, I have something to remind you."

"Second brother, what's the matter?"

Ye Xiaoyang showed a surprised expression.

"A tall tree attracts the wind," my father used to say when we were home.

Ye Xiaoyang looked at his second brother, and he immediately understood why he had purchased a large number of ancient paintings and antiques during this period.

He is a businessman, and if the Japanese devils stationed in Shanghai want to deal with him, it will only take a few minutes.

Even if he found a way to escape, what about the cultural relics, antiques and ancient paintings in the basement?

Thinking of this, Ye Xiaoyang broke out in a cold sweat.

This was the first time he felt a huge crisis since he traveled to the blue planet.

During this period, I have been living too smoothly. Now it is different from the past. The barrier of the International Settlement is no longer there.

Now the entire Hujiang is under the control of the Japanese devils.

"Second brother, I understand."

"Don't worry, I think you've made so much money for the Special High Police, the Japanese devils won't touch you for the time being."

"Well, I understand this, thank you, brother!

I've been so proud of myself lately that I've completely forgotten what my father said."

Ye Xiaoyang's face showed shame.

Looking at the expression of his third brother, Ye Minghao secretly admired his younger brother.

"Third brother, you can ask two identification experts for help."

"Second brother means..."

"From what I understand, these two experts are extremely patriotic in their hearts.

They certainly don't want the treasure in your hand to be taken away by the Japanese devils and taken out of China."

“I know this, although they don’t know that I am the real acquirer behind the scenes.

But that woman, Aoi Noriko, must know."

"I heard that the two authentication experts are also experts in copying."

"Second brother, do you mean to ask these two elders to copy the ancient painting I have, and then I will move the original to a safe place?"

"Copy a few realistic ancient paintings, and then give them to me.

Let me help you deliver a few of them to the commander of the gendarmerie stationed in Shanghai, and a few more to several senior officials of the Navy Department.

I believe that after you send the things out, no one will dare to cause trouble for you."

Ye Minghao said this with great confidence.

"Second brother, your idea is great. I'll go find the two appraisal experts, Mr. Wu and Mr. Liu, tomorrow morning."

"If those two elders knew you were a ghost who wanted to take your life, I'm afraid they would help you for free."

"We don't need them to do it for free. We must pay them what they deserve. It's definitely not easy to do this."

Ye Minghao nodded in approval.

Early the next morning, Ye Xiaoyang drove alone to the door of Mr. Wu's house.

Seeing Ye Xiaoyang coming in, the old man immediately came forward to greet him.

"Xiaoye, are we going to do another appraisal?"

"Mr. Wu, we're not asking you to come for the appraisal. Our boss needs your and Mr. Liu's help with something else."

"Help? Isn't it about identification?"

"What's that?"

Ye Xiaoyang didn't respond, but turned around and looked around.

Mr. Wu immediately understood what Ye Xiaoyang meant. What Xiao Ye wanted to say must not be known to others.

After a while, Mr. Wu asked:

"Xiaoye, have you had breakfast?"

"I've eaten at home. Has Mr. Wu eaten yet?"

"I just finished eating and was about to take a stroll in the yard."

The old man and the young man talked as they walked towards the study.

A few minutes later, the two men came to Mr. Wu's study.

"Xiao Ye, it's safe here. No one from my family will step into this yard without my permission, let alone into my study."

"Mr. Wu, our boss is in trouble."

"trouble?"

"Mr. Wu, our boss has acquired a large number of ancient paintings and antiques from Westerners recently.

But we can’t transport Hujiang.”

"Xiao Ye, there's nothing I can do about this!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Wu. I came to you because you can help me."

Mr. Wu has a good impression of the polite Ye Xiaoyang.

"Xiao Ye, I'm anxious. Please continue."

"Our boss learned that you and Mr. Liu are good at copying ancient paintings, so he came up with a plan to use someone else's power."

As soon as the six words "Li Dai Tao Jiang" were uttered, Old Wu immediately understood the meaning of Ye Xiaoyang's words.

"Excellent, very excellent."

Mr. Wu tapped the desk lightly.

Ye Xiaoyang didn't say anything, he knew that Mr. Wu was thinking.

"Xiao Ye, actually the antiques your boss has can also be imitated, especially those national treasures."

"Mr. Wu, is it true? Can imitations be made to look old?"

"Xiao Ye, you also know how to make things look old, that's great!"

"Wu Laomo laughed at me. I just heard our boss talk about this, so I wrote it down."

"It seems your boss really knows his stuff."

Ye Xiaoyang didn't dare to respond to this. He was the boss and knew nothing about this business.

A few minutes later, Mr. Wu left with Ye Xiaoyang.

Mr. Liu didn't expect that Mr. Wu and Xiao Ye would come to his house together and help the boss behind Xiao Ye to identify the products several times.

The cumulative compensation they received in US dollars could be converted into twenty large gold bars.

The appraisal fee is very high. Now a villa in Hujiang can only have one large gold bar.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the three followed Mr. Liu to his study. Mr. Liu understood that the two men must have something important to discuss with him.

"Old Liu, Xiao Ye's boss wants you to help."

"Take action? What do you mean?"

"It's all about using your best skills to copy ancient paintings, and then making them look real, to protect the originals!"

"Copy the ancient painting in Boss Xiaoye's hand?"

"Yes, Mr. Liu.

Under the current circumstances, our boss has no way of moving these cultural relics, ancient paintings and antiques out of Hujiang.

Our boss's friend suggested finding someone to copy some ancient paintings and then give them to or sell them to the Japanese.

As long as they believe our boss doesn't have these cultural relics, ancient paintings and antiques, they won't cause any trouble."

Mr. Liu looked at Ye Xiaoyang and suddenly asked:

"Xiao Ye, you are the boss, right?"

"Mr. Liu, how did you figure that out?"

“Temperament, it’s impossible for you to help others, and you are generous and decisive.

If money is really the boss behind you, you wouldn't be so straightforward when buying these antiques and ancient paintings.

Haven't you noticed that when you negotiate with Westerners, you rarely bargain, as if you don't care about this little money?"

Ye Xiaoyang suddenly realized that he had not handled the details well.

"Mr. Liu, you are really amazing."

"Xiao Ye, actually, Old Wu can see that you are not from the United States, but a true Chinese."

Ye Xiaoyang was speechless. He thought he had hidden it well, but he didn't expect that there were so many flaws.

"Old Wu, Old Liu, I dare not be arrogant in front of you two elders. This identity is indeed something I made up on the spur of the moment.

I didn't mean to deceive you two, please forgive me."

At this time, Mr. Wu spoke.

"Old Liu, you're over 60 years old, and you still can't keep your composure. You're making Xiao Ye so embarrassed."

“Old Wu, Old Liu, I’m thick-skinned, it’s okay.

Just asking the elders for a favor..."

Mr. Wu immediately responded:

"Xiao Ye, this involves the national treasure. This is not just your problem. The national treasure must not be taken away by the devils."

Mr. Liu continued:

"Yes, Xiaoye, we are very happy that you took the initiative to find us two old guys.

When we saw you spend so much money to buy ancient paintings and antiques, we were very happy.

Unfortunately, we don’t have the financial resources to do so.”

"My two elders, my other abilities are average, but I'm pretty good at making money."

"Xiao Ye, you seem to be doing things for the Japanese?"

Mr. Wu suddenly asked.

"It's a collaboration, we're trying to get money from Westerners together. I have a US ID.

And I can speak fluent Tokyo Japanese.”

Then, Ye Xiaoyang told about his plan to cooperate with the Special High Section to get the money of Westerners in the International Settlement.

The two old men nodded frequently.

"No wonder! The young are truly formidable."

"Xiao Ye, what is your relationship with Professor Zhang Qiwen of Jinling Central University?"

"That's my father-in-law. He's in California now."

"I see. I'm from Jinling too, and I've known your father-in-law for a long time. I didn't expect that!"

Mr. Wu sighed.

Ye Xiaoyang told Ye Minghao about his suggestion and decided to copy a few ancient paintings first.

Mr. Liu agreed to this suggestion directly.

"Your friend's suggestion is very good. It can delay the time it takes for the Japanese to attack you."

Old Wu looked at Ye Xiaoyang and felt that the young man in front of him was patriotic, good at thinking, and could use the Japanese devils.

"Xiao Ye, I have a bold idea. Since the Westerner who bought you the antiques and paintings has left Hujiang for Wucheng.

Besides the three of us, no one in Hujiang should know what famous paintings and antiques you acquired."

"Indeed it is."

"Then we have a batch of copies that we can give you first. It's better to give them to the Japanese now than later."

"Xiao Ye, Old Wu is right. Since the Japanese master discovered the copy, you can also push it to the Westerners."

Ye Xiaoyang thought this was a good idea.

"Mr. Wu, your idea is very good. I can exchange it for the original."

Mr. Wu immediately waved his hand and said:

"No, we have already hidden the originals in our hands, for fear that the Japanese devils would covet them."

The three of them were silent for a while.
