The morning after, Luo Feng and Qin Rubing had finished their morning practice.

That morning, they had not ventured out to hunt for treasure. They naturally slept a bit longer. After all, they were expecting two important guests.

Luo Feng had not only informed Qin Anbang, the city master of the capital, to come over but also notified a northeastern military general named Huang Yingtian.

As eight o’clock approached, two helicopters arrived successively. The aircraft landed on a flat area. From one helicopter, a man in a suit accompanied by a bodyguard emerged. From the other, a soldier in green military uniform, complete with guards, disembarked.

Luo Feng immediately went forward to welcome them.

Huang Yingtian introduced, “Little Luo, this is the city master, City Lord Qin!”

Even though Huang Yingtian was the chief of the northeastern military, managing the armed forces of three provinces, he felt considerable pressure when dealing with Qin Anbang, the eldest son of the revered Qin family.

“Hello, City Lord Qin, ” Luo Feng extended his hand politely.

“I won’t beat around the bush. I presume both of you understand that the matter I am about to discuss is of utmost importance. The fewer people who know, the better. During my investigation of this issue, General Huang, you may be under scrutiny as well.”

Huang Yingtian looked shocked, “Even at my level, I would be under scrutiny? I am indeed intensely interested in this matter!”

“A lot of the artifacts that were stolen and are now displayed in the museum in Japan are mostly fakes,” Luo Feng stated.

“Little Luo, how did you find this out?” Huang Yingtian asked in surprise again.

“Do not interrupt him. Let him continue!” Qin Anbang slightly raised his eyebrows.

“A few days ago, I discovered several bodies in a military fortress. They were responsible for transporting and restoring artifacts. However, for their own gains, they pocketed some artifacts, replicated paintings, duplicated fake antiques, and sent all these things to the Japanese officials.”

The faces of the two men darkened upon hearing this, taken aback by the scandalous news.

“Although this information is significant, I’m not too concerned about it. However, it doesn’t justify inviting Mr. Qin here, does it?” Huang Yingtian queried.

“The people are dead, but the treasures they’ve secretly brought back to the country, I know exactly where they’re kept!”

When Luo Feng revealed this, all three men were taken aback. They knew the location of the stolen treasures? That was indeed a significant development.

For example, the military fortress that was excavated contained numerous artifacts. One could only guess how many treasures their headquarters held.

“Is this information reliable?” Qin Anbang asked.

“This information came from the envelopes I found at the military fortress, so it should be credible. Besides, I’ve sent people to Japan to investigate, and indeed, there is a farm that has existed for about seventy to eighty years there.” “Little Luo, are you suggesting that this storage place for treasures is at a farm in Japan? You already know the address?” Qin Anbang asked with excitement. “Of course I do, otherwise why would I have troubled both of you,” Luo Feng replied.

“Then what do you need us two to do for you?” Qin An Bang asked.

“Nothing much, just that when I get these artifacts, both of you should come forward and ensure that I can safely bring the artifacts back.”

Luo Feng knew very well that he needed to travel to Japan, and the closest route was through the northeast. Naturally, he would need the support of the northeastern military general. However, having only military support would not suffice, and he also needed some government officials.

“It’s a big deal to transport these artifacts back safely. It indeed requires government support. Also, sharing it with average-ranked people may risk leaking the information!” Qin Anbang nodded, understanding Luo Feng’s intention.

“So when do you plan to go?” Qin Anbang inquired.

“If everything goes as planned, I plan to depart in about 15 days.”

“Do we need to wait for half a month?” Huang Yingtian asked, ‘Why not start preparing now and leave? Act first, lest the delay brings more problems!”

Luo Feng shook his head, “Going now would be too conspicuous. Many people know that I came here in search of Sima Yi’s tomb. If I can’t find it and suddenly go to Japan, it would be suspicious without a reason. I am certain people would harbor suspicions!”

“Regarding the previous incident with the gold, Japan definitely bears a grudge against me. Going there blatantly would not be advisable.”

Hearing this, Qin Anbang nodded. Indeed, these were issues that needed consideration.

“So, what specifically do you need us to do?” Huang Yingtian asked.

“Please ask the Cultural Relics Bureau to help me. Allow me to visit Japan under the pretext of borrowing artifacts for an exhibition!”

“In this way, they will think that I am going there to exchange artifacts. After all, I still have a few swords which are treasures from Japan.”

Hearing this, Qin Anbang nodded. This was indeed a good strategy. “Alright. Regarding these matters, Mr. Huang and I will handle them for you!”

Qin Anbang was a man of action. Once a plan was decided, he would not dilly-dally.

“I understand that both of you are busy, so I will not hold you for lunch. I have to head back into the mountains, ” said Luo Feng.

The two men exchanged a glance. They had never been dismissed like this before. To be driven away so abruptly was truly a ty. But they had to admit, Luo Feng had a point. Without his stature, they wouldn’t have come at all..
