After introducing his relationship with Lu Qinzhai and Wu Qizhou, Wu Tianyu suddenly pointed to a room in the apartment.
"Mr. Xiao, there are some Chinese antiques left by Lu Qinzhai in that room."
"Ever since he acquired those Chinese antiques and artworks, my father locked them in that room, not allowing the children at home to access them, and never thought of selling them."
"After my father passed away, those Chinese antiques and artworks were left to me, and I carefully protected them."
“If I hadn’t thought about leaving New York and going to Seattle, I probably wouldn’t have sold the treasures in my room.”
"In order to protect the babies in the room, I installed air conditioning and humidification equipment in that room, striving to achieve constant temperature and humidity."
"Decades have passed, and the preservation of those Chinese antiques, cultural relics and works of art has been very good."
Hearing this, Xiao Ran couldn't help but nodded appreciatively.
"Mr. Wu, you have done a very good job, which is commendable!"
"Decades have passed since the crimes committed by the traitors Lu Qinzhai and Wu Qizhou. They have died and their lights have been extinguished. There is no way to pursue them now."
"What we can do is to try our best to find and protect the national treasure-level antiques, cultural relics and works of art that have been lost overseas, and allow them to return to China as soon as possible."
"I want to see the antique artworks stored in this room. If the quality is really outstanding, I am willing to pay for them and send them back to the country."
"After sending these antique artworks back to China, they will be displayed in my private museum for everyone to visit and appreciate."
Wu Tianyu paused for a moment, then nodded and said:
"Okay, Mr. Xiao, I will open this room right now and ask you to appreciate and identify the antiques and artworks in the room."
With that said, he stood up and prepared to open the door.
At this moment, Xiao Ran suddenly shook his head and said:
"Don't worry, Mr. Wu, before you open this room, I still have some things to say and some preparations to make."
"I suggest you hire a lawyer to handle this antique art transaction, so as to avoid unnecessary legal disputes."
"Also, should you inform your children in Seattle? Tell them about this. It's best to let them witness the transaction via video link."
"I don't know if I should say something. You are old now and will soon go to Seattle to live with your children for retirement."
"In this case, it is best to handle these matters in front of your children so that they can be open and transparent and avoid your children getting upset!"
Hearing this, Wu Tianyu couldn't help being stunned.
Immediately afterwards, a look of emotion appeared in his eyes.
He never expected that Xiao Ran, the ruthless and cunning person at the center of the legend, would put himself in his shoes and consider himself in this way!
He even considered his retirement life, his relationship with his children, and family harmony!
Thinking of this, his eyes suddenly became moist.
As an old man living alone in New York, he was deeply moved by this kind of meticulous care.
While being moved, all the concerns, worries, and even fears in his heart were completely dissipated in an instant!
He made an instant decision to sell all the top-notch Chinese antiques and art that had been passed down to his family for nearly seventy years to Xiao Ran!
Those antique works of art are always for sale. Instead of selling them to others, why not sell them to someone who cares about yourself?
What's more, this person is a compatriot who can send those top antiques and artworks back to the country, fulfilling some of the wishes of his parents and himself!
The next moment, Wu Tianyu nodded slightly.
"You are right, Mr. Xiao. This antique art transaction concerns our whole family. We should tell the children that they have the right to know."
"As for lawyers, there is no need to hire them from outside. My eldest son is a lawyer and is a partner in a Seattle law firm!"
With that said, he took out his mobile phone and prepared to contact his children.
Xiao Ran waved his hand gently, and then continued:
"Mr. Wu, don't rush to call me yet. I still have something to say. Then it won't be too late for you to call your children!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Tianyu stopped immediately.
Afterwards, Xiao Ran continued:
"My people will help you connect with your children and project the video to the TV screen so that everyone can be more intuitive."
"In addition, I want to connect with several top appraisal experts in Beijing and ask them to help identify the antiques and art collected in your home."
"More importantly, they want to witness this antique art transaction, and I also want to prove the origin of those antique cultural relics and art!"
"Only if the origin is clear and legal, can I transport this batch of antiques, cultural relics and artworks out of the United States and safely transport them back to the country to avoid getting into trouble!"
Wu Tianyu was stunned again, his eyes full of shock.
After a moment, he nodded and said:
"It's just like the legend, Mr. Xiao, you really have no plans left, you are so thoughtful!"
"This is a good thing for both of us, of course I agree!"
As he said that, he gave Xiao Ran a thumbs up.
After reaching an agreement, Xiao Ran and Wu Tianyu each took out their mobile phones and started shaking people separately!
The top appraisal experts that Xiao Ran found were naturally Mr. Jin and Mr. Shan from the Forbidden City.
The phone was called and it rang continuously for a long time before Mr. Jin picked up the phone.
"What's the matter with you, Xiao Ran? Why did you think of calling me now?"
"I just fell asleep for less than two hours when you woke me up."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ran quickly explained:
"I'm sorry for disturbing your rest, Mr. Jin. When I return to Beijing, I will definitely come to apologize!"
"It's like this. I met a descendant of Wu Qizhou, the great antique dealer of the Republic of China, by chance in New York."
"This person lives in the apartment building where Lu Qinzhai's antique shop is located. It is said that there are many antique cultural relics and works of art left by Lu Qinzhai."
"I'm going to accept that batch of national treasure-level antiques and works of art, so I called you to ask for your help in appraising them!"
"I would also like to ask you to inform Mr. Shan and Mr. Qiu to establish a video connection to jointly identify these antique cultural relics and works of art."
Before he finished speaking, Mr. Jin exclaimed excitedly.
"What? Your kid discovered a batch of antique cultural relics and works of art that the traitor Lu Qinzhai smuggled out of the country. Did I hear that right?"
"These two traitors, Lu Qinzhai and Wu Qizhou, smuggled and resold many national treasure-level antiques and artworks. It was simply a catastrophe!"
Xiao Ran nodded affirmatively and explained proudly:
"Of course you heard it right. If it weren't for the antique artwork left by Lu Qinzhai, how would I dare to disturb your rest at this time!"
"It's okay today. I'll take Elaine and the others to the apartment building where Lu Qinzhai's antique shop is located to see if I can find anything."
"As a result, I met Wu Qizhou's grandnephew. This old man's father was Lu Qinzhai's cook. He had been with Lu Qinzhai for more than ten years and was responsible for his catering."
"When Lu Qinzhai left New York, he gave his family a luxurious apartment, as well as some antiques and works of art, which have been handed down to this day."
"Now that I have encountered it, there is no reason to let it go. I plan to buy all these antiques and art and then transport them back to the country!"
After hearing the briefing, Mr. Jin on the other end of the phone was so excited that he almost flew up.
"That's great! Even the emperor would envy your boy's luck. You can actually get such a good thing!"
"You're right. Now that you've encountered such an opportunity, you can't miss it!"
"That traitor Lu Qinzhai has a very good eye. The treasures that he can take a fancy to and keep must be national treasures!"
"You must take these antiques, cultural relics and works of art and send them back to the country. This is a great thing that will benefit the country and the people!"
Next, Xiao Ran briefly introduced the situation and explained the reason why Wu Tianyu sold these treasures.
As for the value and authenticity of these Chinese antique cultural relics and works of art, he could see clearly as soon as he entered the apartment!
Mr. Jin is absolutely right, those antiques, cultural relics and works of art are all national treasures, and many of them are unique and unique!
After listening to him introducing the situation, Mr. Jin immediately took action and began to contact Mr. Shan, Mr. Qiu and others.
As Mr. Jin's calls came one after another, the old men were woken up.
After listening to Mr. Jin's introduction, all of them were completely sleepless, and their eyes were shining with excitement.
While Xiao Ran was contacting Mr. Jin and the others, Wu Tianyu also contacted his children and explained the situation.
After listening to Wu Tianyu's introduction, his son and daughter were very excited and agreed with this antique art transaction.
In this way, the rest of the things will be easy to handle!
