Found 100 Million In My Rented Apartment Chapter 1226 Wasn't This Clearly a Scam?

1226 Wasn’t This Clearly a Scam?
Ye Feng glanced at him indifferently. “On account of your President Lu and Vice President Su, I will let you off today. If there’s a next time, it won’t be so easy.”
Yiteng felt as if he could hear the sound of nature. He hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him. “Thank you for sparing my life, Mr. Ye.”
As he spoke, he got up and dragged the frightened Matsuyama Shoji over.
“Mr. Ye, it’s all this b*stard’s fault. He said that you stole his treasure and asked us to help him get it back. This b*stard actually dared to slander Mr. Ye. He deserves to die! Please tell me how to deal with him.”
Ye Feng glanced at Matsuyama Shoji. A smile appeared on his face. “I already told you just now, take 100 million and leave. You insisted on making things this way. How should I deal with you?”
Matsuyama Shoji’s face was already ashen as he looked at him with trepidation. “Ye… Mr. Ye, I… I was possessed, I… I don’t want it anymore. I don’t want anything anymore. I only beg you to spare my life…”
Ye Feng laughed mockingly. “I can let you go, but you have to answer a few questions of mine first.”
How could Matsuyama Shoji dare to say no at this moment? He hurriedly nodded. “If you ask, I’ll definitely tell you everything I know.”
Ye Feng took out the Nine Dragon Cup and rubbed it. “Where did you get this Nine Dragon Cup from?”
Matsuyama Shoji’s expression changed once more, and he hesitated.
Yiteng, who was beside him, punched him in the stomach without saying anything. “Be honest. Answer whatever Mr. Ye asks you. If you dare to play tricks again, I won’t forgive you.”
Matsuyama Shoji clutched his stomach and gritted his teeth. “Yes… I stole it.”
Ye Feng’s expression changed. “Stole? Where did you steal it from?”
Matsuyama Shoji braced himself and said, “It’s from… Mr. Qiandao’s house.”
“Which Mr. Qiandao?” Ye Feng pressed on step by step.
Matsuyama Shoji had no choice but to tell him everything. “Mr. Qiandao is a famous tycoon in Edo. His business is spread across many industries, and his family property is as high as trillions of Japanese dollars. However, due to poor management, they have been losing money for the past few years…”
“Get to the point.” Ye Feng heard that he was going too far, so he immediately urged him.
“Some time ago, Mr. Qiandao filed for bankruptcy and his personal assets were seized. As a staff member of the tribunal, I was responsible for checking his assets. Mr. Qiandao is a collector. He has a lot of antique paintings at home, so I…”
“So you stole one?” Ye Feng already understood the cause and effect, and he explained it for him.
“I thought that cup was worth at most a few hundred thousand Japanese dollars. If I had known that it was so valuable, I wouldn’t have dared to steal it,” Matsuyama Shoji said with a sad face.
After Ye Feng heard this, his mind moved. “What is this Mr. Qiandao’s full name?”
“Qiandao Sen,” Shoji Matsuyama replied immediately.
Ye Feng immediately took out his phone and sent a message to Lin Qianqian. [What’s the name of the owner of the house you’re going to pick up this time?]
Lin Qianqian’s message came back very quickly. [Qiandao Sen. What’s wrong?]
Ye Feng’s lips curled up. What a coincidence.
He did not reply to Lin Qianqian immediately. Instead, he looked at Matsuyama Shoji again. “I heard that Mr. Qiandao’s assets will be auctioned off soon. Aren’t you afraid of being discovered if you steal this cup?”
Matsuyama Shoji stole a glance at his expression and whispered, “Actually, there’s something fishy about this auction. That’s why I dare to do this. Even if they know that something is missing, they won’t dare to say anything.”
Ye Feng raised his eyebrows. “Something fishy? What tricks?”
Matsuyama Shoji looked at Yiteng and the others and hesitated.
Ye Feng immediately understood. He waved his hand at Yiteng. “Alright, you have nothing to do here. You can leave with your people first.”
Ito looked warily at Matsuyama Shoji. “Mr. Ye, if we leave, what if this b*stard does something to you…”
Ye Feng laughed lightly. “Why? Looking down on me? Do you want to spar with me?”
Yiteng hurriedly waved his hand and smiled awkwardly. “Since Mr. Ye has said so, we’ll take our leave first.”
After saying that, he cupped his hands at Ye Feng before leaving with his subordinates.
Ye Feng waited for them to disappear before turning to look at Matsuyama Shoji. “Can you tell me now?”
Matsuyama Shoji heaved a sigh of relief. He continued, “Actually, this auction is just a formality. Mr. Qiandao’s truly valuable collection has already been internally decided by a big shot.”
Ye Feng frowned. “Didn’t you say that it was a public auction? How could it be internally decided?”
Matsuyama Shoji hurriedly explained, “Someone secretly changed the rules. This auction will be a blind auction. Each participant is only allowed to bring one assistant in. Moreover, there is no specific introduction to all the items. It’s entirely based on one’s personal judgment. Actually, those really valuable items are deliberately placed in hidden corners. If you don’t look carefully, it’s easy to miss them…”
Ye Feng’s expression turned ugly. Wasn’t this clearly a scam?
Matsuyama Shoji observed his expression as he continued to explain, “This rule has not been announced yet. It will only be revealed the day before the auction begins.”
“After this big shot bids for those really valuable items, he will definitely deal with them in secret and will not dare to make a sound. It’s precisely because I know this that I dare to steal one…”
Only then did Ye Feng understand the reason behind this auction. It was indeed a shady one.
If he had not known the inside story beforehand and let Lin Qianqian attend the meeting alone, she would have wasted her time and would not have been able to get a valuable antique.
However, since he already knew, it was no longer up to them to control.
