Chapter 642: Recruiting Subordinates
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Liu Jian and his partner promptly arrived at Luo Feng’s hotel room, bearing a carefully compiled list of cultural relics they had previously gathered.
Liu Jian’s nervous knocking, impatient despite Luo Feng’s minor delay, echoed through the room.
“Why did it take you so long to open the door?”
As soon as the door swung open, Liu Jian burst inside, eagerly spreading his list out on the table.
“We’ve spent a considerable amount of time here in the United States, dedicating our efforts to seeking out lost cultural relics.”
“Everything you see here are the cultural relics we’ve gathered over time. Some are extremely valuable, while others are somewhat mundane.”
“After each collection, we’ve transported them back to Beijing, awaiting an opportunity to hand them over.”
“However, due to certain restrictions, we haven’t been able to do so. Now, we can finally achieve our goal with your assistance.”
After explaining, Liu Jian began acquainting Luo Feng with the assorted cultural relics.
Indeed, their collection was as they had described – some items were precious, while others were commonplace. Yet their years of relentless pursuit in recovering these lost relics spoke volumes about their devotion.
“You’ve held fast for all these years; it certainly hasn’t been an easy journey,” Luo Feng remarked, perusing the list with a sigh. But despite their long-standing commitment, Liu Jian and his partner appeared far from fatigued.
“Some tasks demand someone’s attention. We used to think Mr. Wu didn’t take this matter seriously, given that he never sent anyone. But now we realize that all this while, Mr. Wu was merely preparing.”
Concluding his explanation, Liu Jian took out another piece of paper and inscribed an address upon it.
“Please pass this list of cultural relics and this address to Mr. Wu when the time comes. You’ll find the relics at the address mentioned here.”
Liu Jian had given Luo Feng every piece of information he had, withholding nothing. Luo Feng was somewhat touched by his unwavering trust and honesty.
However, such an approach was unlikely to remain problem-free forever.
After all, they were in the United States.
If something went wrong here, they could pay with their lives. Despite their previous luck, such a high-stakes game of risk couldn’t stay safe indefinitely.
At this juncture, an idea sparked in Luo Feng’s mind.
“Continuing like this is far too risky. Why don’t you simply help me instead of endangering yourselves?”
“Help you?”
Liu Jian looked momentarily puzzled, not immediately grasping Luo Feng’s intent.
“Rather than risking your lives, why not assist me in finding the lost cultural relics here in the United States?”
“All you need to do is locate these relics. I’ll handle their retrieval. This way, we can work more efficiently, don’t you think?”
Upon hearing Luo Feng’s proposition, Liu Jian’s initial confusion swiftly turned to excitement.
“Do you mean that if I assist you with gathering information, I’ll get a chance to meet Mr. Wu?”
Hearing Liu Jian’s response, Luo Feng couldn’t help but remain speechless for a moment.
So, this man is an ardent admirer of Mr. Wu.
If that’s the case, everything will become significantly simpler.
“Of course. I may not have time to return to Beijing in the future. If there’s an especially important relic that Mr. Wu must personally receive, you’ll have to deliver it on my behalf.”
While Luo Feng’s scenario was indeed plausible, it did sound as though he was making far-fetched promises…
However, whether Liu Jian didn’t catch on or sincerely believed him, he
responded with a vigorous nod.
“Rest assured, from now on, I will make every effort to gather all the information about the cultural relics!”
Once Luo Feng and Liu Jian settled on a method for gathering and delivering information, they busied themselves with their tasks.
Finally, Luo Feng relaxed and reclined on his bed.
Having assistance would undoubtedly lighten his workload.
Especially in the realm of information gathering.
Even though Luo Feng could now gather information on all cultural relics within a hundred kilometers, for a country, a hundred kilometers was simply too limited a scope.
Even before his arrival, Luo Feng had considered establishing a small intelligence team to gather information about cultural relics. Now, Liu Jian had conveniently resolved a pressing issue.
After everyone had left, Luo Feng took out the Sheep Head he had acquired at the auction.
The Sheep Head radiated an antique aura. Luo Feng knew this was the product of thousands of years of history.
After examining it for a while, Luo Feng stored the relic back in its suitcase.
He had already contacted Mr. Wu, who had assured him that someone would be sent. However, Mr. Wu was still hopeful that Luo Feng could assemble a transportation team.
After all, it was impractical for Mr. Wu’s people to be constantly traveling in and out of the United States..
