Zhuo Yu Feng Yang Chapter 31

Chapter 31 Breaking into the restaurant at night and catching turtles in the urn

The night is like a thick inkstone, turning the hustle and bustle of the antique street into silence.The wooden door of Xianyunzhai has long been bolted, and the warm yellow light shining through the window lattice is the only bright color left in this old street.

Jiang Zhuo and Lu Jingyang were busy until late at night, polishing the last golden thread of the enamel bottle.The porcelain vase was carefully put back into the brocade box and placed on the top shelf of the museum shelf, far opposite the orchid sketch.

“Finally, we’re done.” Lu Jingyang stretched out, with a little bit of gold foil still stuck to his fingertips, “Tomorrow, Mr. Lin’s tasting party, this bottle will definitely amaze everyone.”

Jiang Zhuo nodded and rubbed his swollen temples.He always felt a sinking feeling in his heart. The hateful look in Scarface’s eyes during the day made him feel that the past two days would not be peaceful.”Lock the doors and windows, and be alert tonight.”

Lu Jingyang nodded, turned around to check the lock of the safe, then weighed the door stick behind the door, and said with a smile, “Don’t worry, even a mouse won’t be able to sneak in.”

After the two simply washed up, they lay down fully clothed in the compartment of the restaurant.Tiredness came like a tide, and after a while, Lu Jingyang breathed evenly.Jiang Zhuo was tossing and turning, the system’s dim light looming in his palm, and a line of small words dancing on the screen – [External threat detected, fifty meters away from Xianyunzhai].

He slowly opened his eyes, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

Sure enough, it came.

Deep in the alley, three black shadows were approaching Xianyunzhai quietly.Scarface walked at the front, holding a crowbar in his hand. The scars on his face looked particularly hideous in the moonlight.”Please be gentle! If you alert the night watchman, I will skin you!”

The younger brothers nodded again and again, their movements becoming more cautious.The three of them reached under the window, and one of them took out a glass knife, and was about to make a cut in the window paper, when they heard a soft “click” sound, and at some point there was a thin circle of wire under their feet, which turned out to be a tripping rope.

“Not good!” Scarface’s heart tightened, and just as he was about to shout to stop, they saw several bright lights suddenly light up at the alleyways on both sides, blinding them so hard that they couldn’t open their eyes.

“Don’t move!”

Deep shouts came one after another, and a dozen men in black suits emerged from the darkness. The flashlights in their hands illuminated the three of them, making it impossible for them to hide.When Scarface saw this, he was heartbroken. He raised the crowbar and hit the person closest to him: “Fight them!”

But as soon as his wrist was raised halfway, it was grabbed by a big iron-like hand.The man’s strength was so great that his scarred face grimaced in pain, and the crowbar in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.

“Scar, you still have such a short memory.” The leader’s voice was calm. He was the secret whistle sent by Lu Chen.

Scarface took a closer look, and when he recognized the person who was Lu Chen, his face turned ashen.He knew that falling into the hands of this group of people would be worse than being caught by the police.”I admit defeat, but please leave me a way to survive!”

“A way to survive?” The man sneered, “You are smuggling cultural relics and doing harm to nature. How can you survive?”

Before he finished speaking, the sound of police sirens sounded from far to near, and the alternating red and blue lights cut through the night.Several police officers walked over quickly, showed their handcuffs, and cuffed the three people with scarred faces who were lying on the ground.

“Thank you for your hard work, everyone.” The policeman leading the team nodded to the man in the suit. “Mr. Lu has already said hello. We will take him away first. The results of the subsequent interrogation will be sent to you simultaneously.”

The man in the suit nodded and waved his hands to move out of the way.After watching Scarface being escorted into the police car, he took out his mobile phone and dialed Lu Chen’s number: “Mr. Lu, both the person and the person have been stolen. Xianyunzhai is unscathed.”

On the other end of the phone, there was no emotion in Lu Chen’s voice: “I know. Keep staring, the people of the ‘Xuanshi Society’ won’t let it go.”

After hanging up the phone, the man in the suit looked up at the window lattice of Xianyunzhai.The lights were still on, and he knew that the people inside were probably awake.

In the cubicle, Jiang Zhuo leaned against the bedside, listening to the movement outside gradually subside, and the coldness in his eyes slowly faded away.He turned to look to his side. Lu Jingyang’s brows were frowning slightly, as if he was having an uneasy dream.

Jiang Zhuo reached out and gently smoothed his frown.

The moonlight outside the window shines on the two of them through the cracks in the window, as gentle as a layer of gauze.

And in the brocade box on the ancient shelf, the Yongzheng enamel vase, the golden threads on the bottle body shine under the moonlight, and the dragon pattern on the bottom of the bottle seems to be slowly waking up in the night.

This turmoil seems to have subsided, but in fact it is just the beginning.

The three words “Xuanshihui” were like a pebble thrown into the lake, causing ripples in Jiang Zhuo’s heart.

He had a vague hunch that the secret behind this enamel bottle was far more complicated than he imagined.

The next morning, the sun broke through the clouds and filled the antique street.

The wooden door of Xianyunzhai was pushed open, and Jiang Zhuo and Lu Jingyang walked out side by side. Lu Jingyang had a hint of tiredness on his face, but he could not hide the clarity in his eyes.

At the entrance of the alley, Mr. Lin’s car has been waiting for a long time.

“Xiao Jiang, Jingyang, are you ready?” Mr. Lin waved with a smile, “The venue for the tasting has been set up, just waiting for your baby to appear.”

Jiang Zhuo nodded, turned around and took out the brocade box from the restaurant.The sun fell on the brocade box, and the gold-gilded lines shone with tiny glints.

Lu Jingyang looked at him, his eyes full of excitement: “Boss Jiang, let’s go. Let them see what real ingenuity is.”

Jiang Zhuo raised his lips slightly, held the brocade box in his arms, and walked towards the car.

The sun is just right and the breeze is not dry.
