Found 100 Million In My Rented Apartment - Chapter 1756

Chapter 1756: Unexpected News

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

And just as Ye Feng was thinking, in the surveillance footage, the two old artisans who were responsible for cleaning up the valuable items and raw materials in the forgery den, as well as destroying the traces of forgery, could not help but turn to look at Vulture. “Brother Vulture, don’t you think Mr. Simir is being too careful?”

“Ever since we found a tracking device in your car last time, we brought people over that night to look for clues again and again. After turning around, we even gave up on this hideout that we built and operated with great difficulty.”

“Isn’t this a little too much?”

Vulture stood at the door and took a puff of his cigarette. He lazily squinted his eyes and said, “Haven’t you heard of a foreign proverb?”

“Better safe than sorry.”

“Mr. Simir must have his reasons for making such an arrangement. As subordinates, we just have to carry out our orders and do our jobs well.”

The two artisans were still a little dissatisfied, “Brother Vulture, we understand what you are saying.”

“But you’ve seen the situation here. The traps that we set up inside and outside this den are almost impossible to be discovered by outsiders. After so long, there are no traces of them being touched. Also, our work table is still the same as it was when we left. Even the dust on the ground has no changes. It’s obvious that no one has discovered this place.”

“But at this time, we still have to choose to move away from this nest that we have been operating for a long time and have worked hard to build. It is a bit unnecessary to find another place and spend a lot of time to start a new business.”

Vulture lazily took another puff of his cigarette. “What you guys said is not unreasonable.”

“However, I think Mr. Simir probably won’t mind.”

“Why?” The two artisans stopped what they were doing.

Bald Vulture narrowed his eyes, blew out a smoke ring, and said slowly, “Because he doesn’t dare to bet. He doesn’t dare to bet that this place that has been tracked by a tracker hasn’t been exposed.”

“Even if we were exposed, we would only be in prison for a few years. After a few years, we will be good again.”

“But he’s different from us bumpkins. He’s a well-known appraiser in the Sun Never Sets Empire and the chief consultant of the antique business under the Duke’s family in Devonshire. Once the shady business here is exposed, not only will his reputation be ruined, but he might also be destroyed into pieces!”

The two artisans found it hard to believe. “We can understand that his reputation can be ruined, but isn’t it too much to have his body shattered into pieces?”

“According to the laws of the Sun Never Sets Empire, even if he was given the highest sentence, he’d only be sentenced to 20 years at most.”

“With Mr. Simir’s financial resources, if he finds an excellent lawyer to help him get away with it, there’s a high chance that he’ll be imprisoned for less than ten years at most…”

“Then you guys are too naive.” Vulture sneered and interrupted them. “After working here for so long, can’t you see that Mr. Simir isn’t the real mastermind behind these counterfeit businesses?”

“At most, he’s just an executor and the person in charge of this business.”

“There is a terrifying existence behind our team.”

At this moment, the two artisans seemed to have understood something. Their gazes suddenly shook. “Brother Vulture, you mean the Duke of Devonshire’s family?”

“Mr. Simir is the chief consultant of the antique business under the Duke of Devonshire’s family! If he has someone backing him, then it can only be someone from the Duke of Devonshire’s family!”

“And now that you’ve reminded me, I remember that we were given a replica of a treasure passed down from the Jerry Burrows family. After we finished the imitation, the real thing returned to the Devonshire family.”

“The one in charge of this counterfeit business is actually Devonshire…”

“Stop, stop!” Vulture seemed to have touched on some taboo and hurriedly interrupted them.

As he interrupted, he quickly looked around. After confirming that there was no one else around, he lowered his voice and said, “As long as you guys understand it.”

“Don’t say it out loud!”

“Don’t show it!”

“Otherwise, once these things are exposed, they won’t just want to silence Mr. Simir. They’ll want to silence all of you too. Do you understand?!”

“Understood, understood!” The two artisans were silent out of fear. At the same time, they had a look of realization. “No wonder you said that Mr. Simir would be crushed into pieces once this place was exposed!”

“According to your analysis, if it comes to that, to avoid being exposed, there’s a high chance that Mr. Simir won’t be able to survive!”

“We won’t talk anymore. We’ll clean up and destroy the traces now!”

Vulture did not say anything else. After he finished smoking the cigarette and extinguished all the sparks, he went to the side and picked up a large oil barrel. He opened the lid and poured it around the entire counterfeit den.

After the two artisans quickly packed up, physically destroyed evidence of forgery, and poured gasoline, he simply lit another cigarette for himself.

Then, as he retreated, he threw the lighter into the counterfeit den.

“Boom!”

Flames immediately rose!

In the blurry footage, Vulture and the others quickly got into the car and left.

…

After a while, the micro-surveillance equipment probably couldn’t withstand the rising temperature and was completely scrapped. The mobile phone surveillance completely lost its signal.

Ye Feng sat in his Maybach S680. He quickly downloaded and saved the video, his brain was spinning rapidly.

The surveillance footage just now revealed a lot of information.

First of all, from their conversation, this forgery gang was ostensibly centered around Mr. Simir, but there was a high chance that the Duke of Devonshire’s family was behind it.

Secondly, judging from the content of their conversation, these people had previously participated in the imitation of the goods circulated by Jerry Burrows’ family.

This also matched what Kalina had said before. She had finally managed to retrieve a precious collection of the Jerry Burrows family, but not long after she handed it over to her superior, that collection fell into the hands of the Duke of Devonshire’s family. The one that was sent to the national treasury seemed to have been replaced by a fake, and it had not been discovered yet. This matched perfectly.

When he thought about the spies planted by the Duke of Devonshire’s family in the Smart Information consulting company…

It was obvious that there was something wrong with the family of the Duke of Devonshire.

Their series of actions no longer seemed like they were simply snatching the treasures passed down from the Jerry Burrows family. Instead, it seemed like they had a bigger and more far-reaching plot.

“I have to find an opportunity to learn more about this family.”
