Chapter 1226 [1226] Isn’t this a clear trick?

Ye Feng glanced at him indifferently, "For the sake of your President Lu and Vice President Su, I will let you go today. Next time, it won't be so easy."

Ito felt like he was listening to heavenly music, and hurriedly kowtowed to express his gratitude, "Thank you, Mr. Ye, for sparing my life."

As he said this, he stood up and picked up Matsuyama Shoji, who was already frightened out of his wits.

"Mr. Ye, it's all because of this bastard. He said you stole his treasure and asked us to help him get it back. He promised to give us 10 million after the success. This bastard actually dared to slander Mr. Ye. He deserves death! Please tell me how to deal with him."

Ye Feng glanced at Matsuyama Shoji and smiled, "I just told you to take the 100 million and leave. It was you who insisted on going to this extent. How do you think I should deal with you?"

Songshan Xiangji's face was ashen, and he looked at him tremblingly, "Mr. Ye... Mr. Ye, I... I was bewitched for a moment, I... I don't want it anymore, I don't want anything, I just beg you to spare my life..."

Ye Feng laughed sarcastically, "I can let you go, but you have to answer a few questions for me first."

How could Matsuyama Shoji dare to say no at this time? He nodded hurriedly, "If you ask, I will tell you everything I know."

Ye Feng took out the Nine Dragon Cup from his pocket and rubbed it twice, "Where did you get this Nine Dragon Cup?"

Shoji Matsuyama's expression changed again and he was a little hesitant.

Ito, who was standing next to him, punched him in the stomach without saying anything. "Be honest. Just answer whatever Mr. Ye asks you. If you dare to play tricks again, I won't let you off."

Shoji Matsuyama held his stomach and finally gritted his teeth, "Yes... I stole it."

Ye Feng's eyes changed, "Stolen? Where did you steal it from?"

Matsuyama Shoji said with a stiff face: "I stole it from... Mr. Chishima's house."

"Which Mr. Chidao?" Ye Feng pressed on.

Matsuyama Shoji was stared at by his burning eyes, so he had to tell the whole story, "Mr. Chishima is a famous wealthy man in Edo. His businesses are spread across many industries, and his family assets are as high as trillions of island currency. But due to poor management, he has been losing money for the past few years..."

"Get to the point." Ye Feng urged him immediately after hearing that he was going too far.

"Some time ago, Mr. Qiandao filed for bankruptcy and his personal assets were seized. As a staff member of the court, I was responsible for counting his property. Mr. Qiandao is a collector and has a lot of antique calligraphy and paintings in his home, so I..."

"So you just took advantage of the situation and stole one?" Ye Feng already understood the whole story and explained it for him.

"I thought the cup was worth a few hundred thousand island dollars at most. If I knew it was worth so much, I would never dare to steal it even if I died." Shoji Matsuyama said with a sad face.

After Ye Feng heard this, he was immediately moved, "What is the full name of this Mr. Qiandao?"

"Chishima Forest." Shoji Matsuyama answered immediately.

Ye Feng immediately took out his cell phone and sent a message to Lin Qianqian, "What's the name of the owner of the house you're going to pick up this time?" Lin Qianqian's message came back quickly, "Qian Daosen, what's wrong?"

Ye Feng's mouth corners immediately curled up, what a coincidence.

He did not reply to Lin Qianqian immediately, but looked at Songshan Xiangji again, "I heard that Mr. Chishima's assets will be auctioned off soon. Aren't you afraid of being discovered if you steal this cup?"

Matsuyama Shoji secretly took a look at his expression, then whispered, "Actually, there is something fishy about this auction, so I dare to do this. Even if they know something is missing, they dare not make it public."

Ye Feng raised his eyebrows, "Is there something fishy? What's the fishy thing?"

Shoji Matsuyama looked at Ito and his gang and hesitated.

Ye Feng immediately understood and waved to Ito, "Okay, there is nothing for you to do here, take your people and leave first."

Ito glanced at Matsuyama Shoji warily, "Mr. Ye, if we leave, what if this bastard does something bad to you..."

Ye Feng chuckled, "Why? Do you look down on me? Do you want to have a fight?"

Ito waved his hands hastily and smiled awkwardly, "Since Mr. Ye has said so, we will leave first."

After saying that, he bowed to Ye Feng again, and then left with a group of his men.

Ye Feng waited until they disappeared, then turned back to look at Songshan Xiangji, "Can you tell me now?"

Matsuyama Shoji then breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "In fact, this auction is just a formality. Mr. Chishima's truly valuable collections have already been reserved by a big boss."

Ye Feng frowned immediately, "Didn't they say it was an open auction? How could it be chosen internally?"

Shoji Matsuyama hurriedly explained, "Someone secretly changed the rules. This auction will be a blind auction. Each participant is only allowed to bring one assistant. There are no specific introductions to the items. It all depends on personal vision. In fact, the truly valuable items are deliberately placed in hidden corners. If you don't look carefully, they can easily be overlooked..."

Ye Feng's face had turned ugly. Wasn't this clearly a scam?
Matsuyama Shoji continued to explain while observing his expression, "This rule has not been announced yet. It will only be revealed the day before the auction begins."

"After buying the truly valuable items, this boss would definitely deal with them in secret and would never dare to make them public. It is precisely because I know this that I dare to steal one..."

Only then did Ye Feng understand the trick behind this auction, which was indeed quite shady.

If he had not known the inside story in advance and let Lin Qianqian go to the meeting alone, it would probably have been a wasted trip and she would not have been able to buy any truly valuable antiques.

But now that he already knows it, they can no longer control it.
