Chapter 1108

Mu Qing laughed secretly, knowing that Chu Yunfeng would not suffer any loss, otherwise it would be impossible to explain his series of abnormal behaviors in the collection room.

Ma Fu was still a little unresponsive for a moment. When Chu Yunfeng mentioned the treasure, he thought it was the Xuande furnace of the Ming Dynasty, but then he understood.

If it was just a copper stove, there was no need for Chu Yunfeng to call Orlando. After knowing that Orlando had already returned to Italy, it would definitely not be that simple to call him over in such a hurry.

Orlando, who was on the phone, also heard a sense of urgency in Chu Yunfeng's words, so without asking any more questions, he immediately asked Rafael to prepare a private jet and told Chu Yunfeng that he would arrive within three hours.

It takes about 2 hours to fly from Italy to London, which is not slow at all. After hanging up the phone, Ma Fu immediately asked: "Boss, are you kidding me?
baby?

Just that box?

Isn't it just a wooden box? What kind of treasure is this?
There were a few paintings in the box before. I looked at them and they seemed to be paintings by Van Gogh. Although I couldn't tell whether they were real or fake, I believed they must be fake. "

Unable to suppress the excitement in his heart, Chu Yunfeng took Mu Qing's hand, smiled happily at her, and then asked, "How are you sure the painting is fake?"

Ma Fu didn't even think about it, and immediately replied: "Anyone who is not a fool will understand that if the paintings are really genuine paintings by Van Gogh, why are they stacked in a box?
And when we took it out, they weren't even nervous at all. They took it as we pleased and put it wherever we wanted. If it was really genuine, would that old guy Dalton be so indifferent? "

Sure enough, Ma Fu was also a sensible person. Although he saw some clues, he did not know the mystery. Chu Yunfeng's approach at the time was also somewhat hidden, and it was difficult to discover.

Mu Qing flipped her hair and asked curiously: "Tell me, how did you find out there was something wrong with the box?

Also, this box is obviously empty, so what treasures are there?

Could it be that this box is made of precious wood? "

Seeing that Mu Qing had asked all the questions she wanted to ask, Ma Fu concentrated on driving while waiting for Chu Yunfeng's answer.

Curiosity killed the cat. Chu Yunfeng decided to be a little more naughty and didn't want to reveal the mystery right away, so he smiled mysteriously and said: "If you are so interested, then I will...
Don't talk about it yet
Let’s decrypt it after Orlando comes. Maybe there will be a big surprise for us then? "

The disadvantage of showing off is that in the case of a "strong enemy", Mu Qing used a special trick to let Chu Yunfeng feel what it felt like to rotate the flesh on his waist more than 60 degrees.

"Hiss~!

Be gentle, do you want to murder your husband? "

Chu Yunfeng was in pain and screamed quickly, but Mu Qing remained unmoved and stared at him with squinted eyes. It seemed that if he didn't reveal the secret in advance, he wouldn't be able to get anything good right now. .

Ma Fu laughed and lamented that only Mu Qing could control Chu Yunfeng. It seemed that the boss was not as powerful as the boss's wife!

However, Chu Yunfeng still seemed unwilling to "give in" and just pointed at the back of the car, making Mu Qing think he was playing some trick, but Ma Fu noticed something unusual.

"Huh~?

Sims's car has been following ours? "

At this moment, the car was gradually driving into the city, and the place where Sims lived was in completely opposite directions from Mafu's villa, so what happened to him following him?

"Why did he follow us?"

Mu Qing felt that something was not right about this matter. Logically speaking, things were over with Duke Dalton now, and the two parties had nothing to do with each other.

Especially in the collection room, the two sides have already turned against each other, and Sims should not be in contact with his side at this time, so things are definitely not simple.

Chu Yunfeng took Mu Qing's hand and gently rubbed the "injured" area, pretending to be hurt, which made Mu Qing dumbfounded.

Then she rolled her eyes at him, followed his wishes and gave him a good rub before waiting for his explanation.

Ma Fu accidentally glanced at it just now and instantly felt that he was full of dog food. He couldn't help coughing, but he immediately received a stern look from Chu Yunfeng.

"We'll talk about it when we get back. After getting off the car, act like you don't know what to do. Especially for this box, don't show any concern for the moment.

I guess this box is not simple, so I’ll wait until Orlando comes. "

Chu Yunfeng also felt a little uneasy at this time. He wondered if the old housekeeper had discovered something, so he asked Sims to inquire about the situation?

No matter how much I asked the system, the system wouldn't tell me what secrets there were in this box, so I had to find out the clues on my own. The system's asking price had doubled, so it must be a big deal.

"You're right, please stop talking for now, lest I can't help but look at the box for a while. If I pay too much attention to this box, Sims may find out the clues, but I can't expose it in advance for the other party to notice. .

If there is really a treasure in this box, we will discuss it carefully when Orlando comes. Then the initiative will be in our hands. "

Mu Qing's analysis was not wrong at all, and Ma Fu continued to add: "If that old fellow Dalton knew that he had missed such a treasure in his hands, he would probably be furious.

If this matter spreads, his reputation will be ruined, and it will definitely become a big joke of the upper class. Once this iron rooster is embarrassed, countless people will be waiting to see the joke.

Hahaha.
It made me laugh. This matter will definitely become the biggest news in London. I believe this old guy will make up for it at all costs. "

Ma Fu was immediately immersed in uncontrollable excitement, his head shook left and right involuntarily, and he nodded from time to time, which showed that he was in a good mood.

But contrary to him, the expressions of Chu Yunfeng and Mu Qing became solemn.

The reason is simple, it's what Ma Fu said inadvertently, and Duke Dalton will make amends at all costs.

Therefore, if the value of this box exceeds expectations, the chain reaction may be beyond imagination.

Seeing that Mu Qing was worried, Chu Yunfeng patted her hand and said, "It's okay, shouldn't we invite Orlando over first?
If he is here, the arrangements will be made. It's not that easy for the other party to jump over the wall. If it doesn't work, let's send the things back to the country first and see what he can do! "

Chu Yunfeng's worry is not unreasonable. If it is really valuable, it would be better not to do such a thing that tests human nature.

On the other side, the old housekeeper had been standing at the gate of the castle for more than ten minutes. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.

So he immediately picked up the phone and dialed with a deep frown: "Shriver, it's me!"

Immediately there was a cry of surprise from the opposite side: "Oh my god, Mr. Butler, do you have any orders?"

By the way, is the Duke satisfied with the Van Gogh painting I sent you this time? "

Shriver thought that the old butler was here to encourage him about sending him paintings, but he didn't expect that the old butler's tone seemed different from what he imagined, with a hint of seriousness.

"Let me ask you, where did you get the box that you sent the paintings to two years ago?"

The old butler's focus didn't seem to be on the same channel as Shriver's thoughts, so he was a little unresponsive for a while. He frowned and thought for a long time without holding back a word.

The old housekeeper was very anxious, so he could only remind him patiently: "The big box, that time, contained a pair of Van Gogh's paintings."

After hearing the prompt, Shriver gave himself a tap on his forehead and suddenly realized: "Ah~! I remembered that the wooden box came with the painting.

That painting was a relic of an art dealer. His wife was planning to sell the remaining paintings at home after her husband's accident. After I got the news, I went over to contact her as soon as possible.

Many people value this painting, and I spent a lot of effort to buy it!

The painting itself was placed in this wooden box. The art dealer's wife said that she thought about others when she saw things, and asked me to take the box away, so I sent the box to the manor directly.

Could it be that the Duke doesn't like that box, or..."

While Shriver was still chattering, the old housekeeper just said "I understand" and hung up the phone, because the whole call was almost nonsense.

But there was one key word that made the old housekeeper feel even more uneasy.

Art dealer!

There are many people like this in Europe, they travel among painters and collectors and can find many hidden paintings on the market.

And if someone particularly likes a painter's work, you can make a reservation with them, and they will find a way to help you find it.

It's just that the commission for this kind of entrusted task is very high, but many art dealers have specialized channels, and they can indeed help you find things. This is their strength.

I had a vague feeling that the box was special before, but I didn't find anything special about it, but what happened to Chu Yunfeng?Did you discover what’s special about it?
Is there really something wrong with this box?

Sims did not dare to delay and immediately went to report to the Duke.

"What? There might be something wrong with the box?

what is the problem? "

The cheerful Duke, who was still in the collection room, instantly calmed down, feeling a little stuffy in his chest, shouldn't someone miss it?

"I asked Shriver, and he said that this box used to belong to an art dealer. After something happened to the art dealer, his wife started selling all the paintings."

Hmm~?

The Duke's frown relaxed a little, and he took a breath before asking: "This is normal, is there nothing special?"

"It's mainly my feeling. I always feel that there is something wrong with this box, especially every time I enter this collection room, I will take a look at it and often pat it.

But I can't say what's wrong with it specifically, but I have sent people to check it to see if there is anything suspicious about the art dealer's background. "

sixth sense?
The Duke suddenly laughed: "Delong, you have to obey your old age, you are still so sensitive at such an old age.

It's just a box. After leaving it here for such a long time, you must have developed a little affection for it like me, so you are reluctant to let it go.

It's a good feeling that you can feel this. This is why I am unwilling to give up the things I collect, because I have feelings for them.

If you want to exchange my feelings for something, will this hurt you a lot? "

When he saw what the old butler wanted to say, the Duke immediately patted him on the shoulder and said: "Okay, don't think about it, let's go, make a pot of real old antiques, and let's have a drink together.

By the way, there is also the beef brought by that magical chef. You should also try it. The taste is really amazing. You will know it after you try it. "

Seeing that the Duke was indeed in a good mood, he was even willing to share these two things with the old butler, which also showed from the side that the old butler was not an ordinary person in the manor.

The old butler shook his head and reluctantly put aside the messy thoughts in his mind. Naturally, he was looking forward to tasting the magical dishes.

As for the art dealer matter, just wait for my subordinates to reply.
Especially for Sims, the old housekeeper called him again and asked him to get in touch with Chu Yunfeng to see if he could find out what was written?
Sims was dumbfounded after receiving the call. Didn't he just ask himself to observe it before?
Why are you asking yourself to come to your door now?What excuse does this give you?

After all, you have just fallen out with someone. If I go over at this time, wouldn’t I just give my face to someone for a beating?
Sims felt like he was going to be autistic. He really regretted not returning to Asia as soon as possible. He was about to be spoiled by the old butler.
Knowing that Sims was following behind, Ma Fu did not plan to park the car at the door. Instead, he directly used the remote control to open the door, and then locked the door immediately after entering.

The car did not park in the yard, but went directly into the underground garage. Fortunately, the house was big enough. If there was no underground garage, you could see the outside of the moving things.

After getting out of the car at the garage, everyone heard the doorbell ringing outside. They knew it was Sims without even looking.

"Boss, do you need to open the door for him?"

After getting out of the car, Ma Fu opened the trunk immediately, and then asked without raising his head.

"You don't need to open the door, I'll go see him, you carry this box to the living room!"

Chu Yunfeng felt that it was not good to pretend not to hear. After all, Sims was a good person and had no conflict with him.

Ma Fu agreed excitedly, and then without Mu Qing's help, he just carried the box and left. Even though the box was heavy, he didn't think it mattered.

Chu Yunfeng turned around worriedly and said, "Be careful!"

Ma Fu tried hard to maintain the balance of his body, and then replied with confidence: "Don't worry, boss, there will be no problem, the box will not fall."

But Chu Yunfeng chuckled and said, "I'm worried that you're flashing your waist."

Uh~!

Ma Fu instantly became depressed. Isn't this too disrespectful?
When I got to the living room, I had to take a good look at the wooden box to see what Chu Yunfeng valued and what its secret was.

"Mr. Sims?"

Pretending to be surprised, Chu Yunfeng came to the gate.

"Mr. Chu, this, uh, that, can you go in and talk?"

Sims couldn't find a good excuse along the way, so he planned to sneak in first.

But naturally Chu Yunfeng would not let him in, so he immediately asked: "What's the matter? Let's talk about it here!"

He was so anxious that his head was sweating. Sims couldn't think of a good excuse, and he didn't want to use the excuse of deception to get in. This would directly terminate his friendship with Chu Yunfeng.

After all, what happened in the castle today was not so pleasant. The fact that Chu Yunfeng came out to see him showed that he didn't have much objection to him.

There was no need for him to fully carry out the old butler's orders, so he just observed at the door. Gao Shi just told the old butler that Chu Yunfeng did not let him in.

Seeing Sims hesitant to speak, Chu Yunfeng was familiar with the conversation, so he nodded and walked back directly.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw an incredible scene. Ma Fu was lying on the box like a frog, not knowing what he was doing.

At this time, the old butler received a message, which made him stand up immediately, and dropped the beef with orange peel in his hand, which he was enjoying with his eyes closed, on the dining table.
