Elaine hurriedly said, “I did not even ask for a single penny! I was just helping a friend out...”Elaine actually felt very guilty when she said this.This was because she knew very well in her heart that the reason why she had agreed to help Clarissa with the suitcase was simply because Clarissa had said that she would give her a Lexus LM300 and would also take her around Hong Kong for a few days. However, Elaine felt that all these things were simply verbal promises. After all, she had not received a penny from the woman, so the police couldn't possibly find any evidence.The female police officer then glanced at Elaine with a slightly compassionate look. After that, she then took Elaine to their police station which was next to the airport terminal together with her colleagues.Elaine cried and wailed all the way because of her broken rib as she hoped to be able to receive treatment first, but the female police officer said, “It’s just a broken rib, so there’s no need for you

When the female police officer saw that Elaine wanted to contact her family, she nodded. “Okay, you have the right to contact your family and have your family arrange a criminal lawyer for you.”After that, she took out Elaine’s cell phone, handed it to Elaine, and said, “Remember, you can only call your family or your lawyer. If you call your accomplice to inform them about this matter, it will only make you guiltier!”Elaine cried and said, “Don’t you understand what I just said?! I already told you that I was wronged and I’m being set up by others. Where am I going to find any accomplices?!”The female police officer said indifferently, “It’s not up to you nor is it up to me to have the final say on whether you were wronged or not, or whether you were being set up or not. When the trial begins, everything will be subjected to the judge’s verdict.”Elaine glanced at the female police officer angrily and then immediately picked up her cell phone and called Claire. When Claire an

Charlie spoke up and said, “Mom, you don’t need to worry, and you don’t have to be afraid. We will certainly be able to successfully resolve this matter. It might be a little troublesome, but you will have to suffer a little grievance during this period of time.”Elaine cried and asked, “You have to save me, my dear son-in-law! I’m so scared! If this matter does not go well, I’ll be imprisoned for life... I’m someone who has been in a detention center before, and it’s too scary there...”Charlie said seriously, “Don’t worry, Mom. I promise that you will not be sentenced to life imprisonment. This matter will be resolved before Claire graduates, and you will definitely be able to return to Oskia with us then.”Elaine hurriedly asked, “My dear son-in-law, do you mean what you’ve just said? It’s just over half a month before Claire graduates and you return to Oskia...”Charlie hummed and said, “Don’t worry, I will definitely keep my word!”When Elaine heard Charlie’s firm and determi

For Charlie, it was not difficult to solve this matter, but it was by no means easy for him to resolve this matter satisfactorily. The crime that Elaine was now suspected of was a felony among felonies in any country or region in this world.Moreover, because the amount of contraband that she was carrying was so large, this was a death sentence in many countries. If he could catch all the people behind this crime, Elaine could then be truly and legitimately cleared of all suspicion. Otherwise, he could only use special means to get her out of prison.But in that case, Elaine would have an international criminal record, and that would be a real problem in the future. In order to deal with a gang of criminals who specialized in harming their compatriots, some extraordinary means would have to be used. If Claire were to follow Charlie, his hands would not only be tied, but he would also have to devote extra energy to take care of her and protect her. So, for Charlie, the best so

Charlie said politely, “Lord Fox, I’ve encountered a problem that I need your help with.”Jordan hurriedly said, “Mr. Wade, please speak up! I will definitely do anything as long as I’m able to do it!”Charlie said briefly, “My mother-in-law was used by a group of people. She was caught carrying contraband unknowingly at customs at JFK New York Airport, and she has been arrested by the police over there. I need you to help me find the best criminal lawyer in New York and have him rush over there within an hour to find out what’s going on.”When Jordan heard this, he was stunned. He really could not imagine who it was that would provoke Charlie without any fear of death.However, he quickly regained his senses and said very seriously, “Don’t worry, Mr. Wade. I’ll have the best law firm send their best criminal lawyer over there!” Charlie had a somewhat grim expression as he said, “There is one more thing. My mother-in-law said that the police officer broke one of her ribs. I think

Charlie found an open place to stop the car, and after sending the location to Jordan, he then continued to comfort Claire.By the time Claire’s mood had finally stabilized, the helicopter arranged by Jordan also arrived.The person who had come was Jordan’s butler. After the helicopter stopped, he opened the hatch and got out of the helicopter as he said respectfully to Charlie, “Mr. Wade, our master has given instruction for the helicopter to take you and your wife back to Providence, and I will drive your car for you. Do you want your car to be driven to New York or Providence?”Charlie thought about leaving the car to Claire in case she still needed something. So, he said to Jordan’s butler, “Help me bring my suitcase to the helicopter first, then help me drive the car to the Hilton hotel in Providence. Just leave the car key at the front desk.”“Okay!” The butler nodded and quickly took out the suitcase from Charlie’s car trunk with one of his own subordinates and sent it to

So, they only left two Oskian police officers in the interrogation room to take down Elaine’s statement, whereas the others ordered a bunch of coffee, fries, fried chicken, and pizza, and they ate supper in the lobby of the police station. Everyone was very happy at the moment because they had successfully cracked a very significant case of contraband smuggling, and the case involved the latest kind of synthetic contraband which was worth over ten million US dollars. They reported the case to the New York Police Department as soon as possible, and the police commissioner called them personally to congratulate them. He even said that they should hurry up and get Elaine’s statement, and then report the matter to the media and let the media come over to interview them and come up with a proper report. This was a good opportunity for the police officers of the airport police station to show themselves. So, everyone was very excited at the moment. Even if some people had already rea

The division chief looked out the door at this time. When he saw the Maybach parked at the door, he stood up straight immediately, and as he straightened out his clothes, he smiled and said, “Could it be that the leaders from the city police department are here? Or could it be that the councilman is here? Guys, straighten out your clothes. Perhaps the media will be here soon as soon as the big shot comes!”Everyone immediately became excited. One of them hurriedly said, “Quick! Hurry up and clean up the pizza, fried chicken, and nuggets on the table. Don’t let the media take a picture of that!” The people inside got excited and busy. Meanwhile, the person in the passenger seat of the Maybach got down. It was a young man in a suit. After getting out of the car, he hurriedly walked to the back and opened the rear car door. Immediately afterward, a middle-aged man with white hair, an upright figure, and a grim expression came out of the car.When everyone in the police station saw h

As Zachary agreed to do a favor for Vintage Deluxe's Mick Crane in passing, he and Jacob agreed to meet up at 7pm at the car park by Antique Street.He first took Jacob back to the Calligraphy and Painting Association and called Billy, one of his boys whom he thought was smarter than the rest, giving him the gist of the plan and telling him to familiarize himself with the script.Then, he took the sculpture back to Heaven Springs and met up with Billy in office, telling Billy what to do in finer detail and making sure he committed everything to memory.Zachary's strength as a judge of character certainly proved itself—Billy had never done anything like this before, but he took to the plan like fish to water. He committed the script to memory soon enough, and he was flawless.Once he made sure that Billy was fine, Zachary called Mick.As soon as Mick answered, he immediately asked, "Hello, Mr. Evans. How is that thing we talked about going?"Zachary chuckled. All the arrangements

Zachary continued, "Why do you think casinos are always making a profit? It's exactly because no matter how unassuming a guest is the first time, they would be allowed to win a couple of hands, making a little profit.""And suddenly, they would think that they are the chosen one, destined to win against all odds and always come out triumphant! Once such radical, blind confidence hits them, every last bit of his money would be lost to the casino!""At that point, you can get anything from them—their house, their wife, their children… hell, they'd be willing to die if you'd just let them gamble again!"Turning toward Jacob with a grin, Zachary then asked, "So, with all the points I made and that sculpture you're holding… Do you still think Raymond wouldn't fall for it?"Jacob laughed out loud. "Oh, talk about a plan within a plan! No one would ever see it coming! Raymond Cole is so screwed!"Zachary smiled and nodded. "That's why there's no reason to rush—I'll arrange a man to get r

As soon as they drove out of the village, Jacob asked Zachary eagerly, "So, when do you think we should make our move? I can't wait!"Zachary didn't hesitate, "Let's do it today. It's better than waiting! I'll get someone reliable to bring this to Treasure Measure and get him interested. I'm sure that since he has just returned to Antique Street, he'll need a hot deal to generate hype and make himself known. That's why I'm sure he'll take this sculpture."Jacob nodded repeatedly as he chuckled. "I think so too. Today is definitely best since I'll be going to Dubai soon and probably leaving once I'm done with this. Once you get this settled by the end of today, I'll get tickets for the flight tomorrow!"Zachary grinned. "Don't worry, chief. We will definitely get it settled today…"He trailed off for a moment before continuing, "Still, you should be a little patient. We should do this in the evening—at the second just before Raymond Cole closes shop.""But why?" Jacob asked in curi

Jacob was naturally gleeful that he could get the late medieval bronze sculpture along with its base. Right after he wired the agreed upon ninety-eight grand to Mr. Cardensky, he was already imagining how Raymond would buy it from him for several hundred grand.On the other hand, once Mr. Cardensky received the transfer, he saw the name on the account: Jacob Wilson.He was left perplexed—wasn't that man's last name Montague? Who was this Jacob Wilson?Still, he didn't worry about it too much since most antique hustlers preferred to work with anonymity and therefore, using a different name was perfectly normal.He then carefully wrapped up the bronze sculpture before passing it Jacob, asking politely, "Would you happen to have any other requests, Mr. Montague? I have plenty of other items here if you'd permit me to give an introduction."Jacob shook his head, "Just this sculpture will do. I'm not fully confident in your work either since this is our first deal, so I'm just trying i

Jacob asked, "Then, what would this sculpture be worth if it was genuine?"Mr. Cardensky thought about it. "Well, there are standards when it comes to Renaissance relics, but with something this exquisite, it'd definitely be auctionable for one or two million—and that's the conservative estimate.""How much would you sell it to me for?" Jacob then asked."Thirty percent of the market price," Mr. Cardensky quickly replied. "As I've said, the conservative estimate for this one is around one to two million, so we will set the price with the median estimate value at 1.5 million. And thirty percent means 450 grand."Jacob shook his head right away. "No, no, no… that's too expensive. What if I end up unable to sell it, on top of that?"In his mind, while he could barely accept that pricing, he still needed Raymond to be able to afford it if he wanted to swindle Raymond for twice the money.Mr. Cardensky quickly chuckled, "Oh, Mr. Montague—now you're being too serious. In this business,

"Okay!"Mr. Cardensky smiled and pointed at a nearby farmyard. "There's our workshop—the good stuff is all in there. Allow me to take you there!"The farmyard seemed uninteresting at first glance, but Mr. Cardensky soon led them to the stables and brushed off the straws covering the floor, revealing a plank laid flat on the ground.Mr. Cardensky then lifted it, revealing a passage below—they had dug a cellar into the ground beneath, with the stables as an entry point.As Jacob followed Mr. Cardensky down the cellar, he exclaimed in awe, "Your operation is definitely big, digging such a huge cellar!"Mr. Cardensky smiled humbly. "Anyone working in the business would have sustained their losses before. In the end, we're all folk of humble origins, starting out with raiding tombs or excavating artifacts. Just digging a cellar is really nothing."As they conversed, they cleared the stairs and arrived at the main hall.It was certainly a hall as it was around a hundred square meters,

Zachary nodded repeatedly. "Mr. Montague? Very well!""Yes!" Jacob grinned smugly. "Longer last names are simply better—it just sounds so authoritative."With that agreed upon, both men alighted, where the master was waiting nearby.Seeing them get off, he hurried over to them, smiling, "Please, follow me."Zachary looked around and huffed, "Honestly, Mr. Cardensky, isn't this way too far from the highway? The road is narrow and terrible, and I have to park my car all the way out here. Just coming here is taxing."Mr. Cardensky smiled in turn. "My friend, that's exactly why we picked this place. Do you remember seeing a couple of cars parked by the road, occupying half of it?""We arranged for them to be there. Anyone coming by car would have to slow down that way, buying time for us to see who they truly are. If it's cops, our watchers would quietly text us while we clean the house and bail."Zachary exclaimed in realization, "You boys really run a tight ship!""For sure," Mr.

After working in Antique Street for years, Zachary's connections and influence were naturally special. And yet, though he was acquainted with some of the more impressive individuals, he was not that close with them either.For example, the forgery masters who worked specifically to deceive experts only accepted jobs from major clients, usually antique traders high in social status and wealth.In contrast, they wouldn't ever be interested in frivolous people like Zachary. Even if he could reach them, they might not look at him twice.If one would describe them as the cartel boss, then Zachary would be a low-level enforcer, managing night joints or goofing off.But now, Zachary had turned over a new leaf—he worked under Don Albert, so one of those masters was pleasantly surprised when he called one of them, inviting him to his own workshop for a visit and further discussion.As such, Zachary picked up Jacob and went over to the master's hideout where the latter worked on his count

Zachary was naturally shrewd enough to read Jacob's intention.In reality, he wasn't offering to pay just because he wanted the profit. He merely wanted to get in Jacob's good graces. After all, wouldn't Jacob be even more grateful that he wasn't just helping his revenge but also helping him make money?As such, he didn't hesitate to tell Jacob, "Well, chief—since you'll be paying, I will make sure that you will get every cent of profit that you deserve."Jacob was grinning ear-to-ear, but he said, "Oh, you don't have to! If we really are making a profit, there's no way I would let your good work go unrewarded!"Spreading his arms, he continued generously, "How about this? I will pay the full cost while you get twenty percent of the net profit!"Zachary laughed. "Now, that can wait, chief. We need to pay as soon as we decide on the item we want, and there's no time for buyer's regret. But if Raymond doesn't take the bait, all that money will go down the drain, and whether we can s
