Chapter 1618 [1618] The Story of a Beautiful Agent
"Did you know that in addition to the royal family, the British Empire also has four ducal families?" Karina asked back first.
After Ye Feng nodded, he continued, "Among the four non-royal clan families, there is one called the Devonshire Family."
"Their family is rather wild."
"Although it is one of the four major duke families in the British Empire besides the royal family, the businesses it is involved in range from smuggling to arms to selling drugs... it can be said to be all-encompassing!"
"This family is despised by the upper class of the British Empire, or in the eyes of those who know the situation."
"Especially for royal agents like us, we regard them as scum and shame among the nobles of the British Empire!"
"..."
Ye Feng could basically tell from just listening to this long paragraph, "Your boss is in cahoots with this Devonshire family?"
Kylena's eyes flashed with hatred, and she gritted her teeth again and said, "Yes!"
"That shameless scum, when he was with us before, he criticized the Devonshire family more than once and used it as a negative example! He always looked righteous on weekdays..."
"But what I didn't expect was that, in private, he actually got together with the heir of the Devonshire family, and even did some shocking things and transactions with that group of people..."
"..."
"You should also know that in the British Empire, Jerry Bruns' family had a problem, and countless Jerry Bruns' collections were circulated or scattered among the people, right?"
Ye Feng was a little surprised that she would suddenly change the subject and turn the topic to this incident which was somewhat related to him.
He hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "I've heard something about it."
Kylena didn't seem to think much about it, and just continued, "After this happened, our Royal Agent Organization of the British Empire also took it very seriously."
"Almost every team in the Royal Secret Service received a mission at the first opportunity, whether it was to maintain the stability of the British Empire, or to track down the movements of some valuable collections, or to take the opportunity to capture some extremely heinous criminals..."
"The team I was in at the time was arranged by the British Empire's Royal Agents. Together with two other teams, we were responsible for tracking down the whereabouts of some of the more valuable collections."
"And I am responsible for tracking down a very valuable antique - the self-portrait of William Hogarth, the father of British Empire painting!"
"..."
Ye Feng listened to her explanation and casually opened his mobile phone to search.
Soon, some information emerged.
William Hogarth, a member of the Royal Society of Arts and Crafts, was a famous painter, printmaker, caricaturist and pioneer of European comic strips in the 18th century. His works range from excellent realistic portraits to comic strip series. Many of his works often satirize and ridicule the politics and customs of the time. Later, this style was called "Hogarth style" and he was also called "the father of British painting".
His self-portraits are extremely rare and unique, and are extremely valuable in the Western collectibles market.
The current market valuation is approximately 2.2 million magnesium knives, equivalent to about million Chinese yuan!
"After two days of sleepless investigation, I found out that the self-portrait of William Hogarth, the father of British Empire painting, had been circulated in the hands of a black market smuggler. I spent a lot of effort to get it from the black market smuggler. But what I didn't expect was that not long after I handed it over to my boss and received praise from my boss, I accidentally heard that it appeared on the list of items that the Devonshire family was about to smuggle out when I was tracking down the information of another collection..."
Kylena's explanation continued. And just by listening to her explanation, Ye Feng quickly understood the whole story.
It turned out that Karina was responsible for tracking down the self-portrait of William Hogarth, the father of British Empire painting. After she finally got it, she was discovered that after she handed it over to her trusted boss, it appeared in the Devonshire family again.
Later, she went to the archives of the British Empire's Royal Secret Service to investigate privately, only to find that the self-portrait of William Hogarth that had been handed over to the organization had been replaced.
The self-portrait of William Hogarth, which was handed over to the archives of the Royal Secret Service and was to be put on the British Empire Charity Auction, was a fake with almost 100% restored details!
Not only that, the precious collections recovered by other members of her team were also replaced by others.
On the other hand, there were no problems with the papers submitted by other groups...
She began to suspect her boss at that time and began to investigate secretly.
Unexpectedly, I unearthed a shocking secret without paying attention.
Those tricks of replacing the prince with a cat were really done secretly by her boss!
Her boss colluded with the heir of the Devonshire family, used the Devonshire family's channels, and replaced the recovered valuable collections with imitations after 100% restoration of the forgeries...
Later, she was discovered by her boss during the investigation and ended up in her current situation.
"He deliberately set a trap. When I pretended to trade with a smuggler in order to get clues, he worked with the smuggler from inside and outside, insisting that I wanted to smuggle the valuable antiques I had found in order to make a profit..."
"At that time, all the friends who trusted me were kept away by him."
"Plus, the smuggler insisted that I was going to entrust him with a valuable collection to help smuggle it, and there was a recording as evidence..."
When Kylena mentioned this, she seemed a little annoyed, “That disgusting guy is so despicable!”
"He may have discovered my secret investigation a long time ago! He has set up a perfect trap and even placed a bait specifically for me!"
"Not only has my reputation been ruined, but I can't even go home. I have to be on guard against the danger of being silenced at any time..."
Ye Feng didn't have much empathy for Kalina's feelings and emotions.
He only cares about how much valuable information there is in it.
After hearing Kylena's introduction of the whole story, he thought for a moment and asked, "How many friends do you have in the British Empire Royal Agent Organization?"
"The kind that is very trustworthy."
"There are three of them. They have been friends with me for many times and are closer than sisters!" Kylena said without hesitation, "After hearing about my situation, they all planned to assassinate my boss to avenge me!"
"But I stopped him."
"I am currently in the British Empire, actively looking for flaws in my boss, trying to help me overturn the case or something..."
