Chapter 1164 Trap
Chu Yunfeng had been staying on the sixth floor since last night. After packing started at the manor in London, he and Colonel Qin came to the conference room together.

The old butler and the eight people he brought have been waiting here for a long time. Except for the five appraisers, the other three are obviously bodyguards.

But these bodyguards are not enough to see here. There are always two guards guarding the door of the conference room with guns, so even if the old housekeeper and the others have any evil intentions, they can only hide it in their hearts.

"Mr. Chu, everything in London has been loaded on the train and is ready to go at any time. Isn't it time for us to verify it as well?

If this delays the time to get on the plane, the agreement makes it very clear that no matter which party is at fault for delaying the registration time, all the collections must be handed over to the other party free of charge. "

Facing the old butler's "kind-hearted" reminder, Chu Yunfeng secretly despised it, but still smiled and replied: "Don't worry, it won't take much time to appraise the painting.

I’ll give you three 10 minutes. Is this enough time? "

Excluding these 10 minutes, there are still two and a half hours to get to the airport. This is enough time. It usually only takes 10 minutes to get to the airport from here.

The old butler said confidently: "It won't take more than three and ten minutes. Two and ten minutes are enough. Please open the door!"

This batch of paintings has been appraised by five appraisal experts before, and they know all the details of the paintings, so they are definitely familiar with judging the authenticity.

Seeing the old butler "saving" time like this, he also understood that even if he wanted to do anything, it would not be possible at this time, so he was quite relieved.

The more time you leave, the more time you have to check again before boarding at the airport, so you are not afraid that Chu Yunfeng will have any room to operate.

However, Chu Yunfeng did not agree immediately. Instead, he took out his cell phone, shook it and said, "I'll make a call first to confirm!"

The old housekeeper made a gesture of invitation, just to confirm, and it wouldn't waste much time.

Chu Yunfeng dialed Teacher Cai's mobile phone. The call had just been connected, and before he could speak, he heard Teacher Cai say first: "Xiao Chu, I'm about to call you!
All these things are on board, a total of 26 vehicles, and they are ready to go at any time. How are you doing there? "

The three teachers were very relieved about the large boxes brought out from the temporary warehouse. After all, they had seen these things being put in with their own eyes.

And before getting in the car last night, I randomly selected some, opened them, and found no problems.

So the three of them were all wondering, might they be overthinking?
After receiving Teacher Cai's message, Chu Yunfeng glanced at the old housekeeper, and then replied with a smile: "I will start the appraisal soon, and I will tell you guys after the results come out!"

Both parties need to confirm that everything is OK before they can act together at the same time, so after hanging up the phone, Chu Yunfeng nodded to Colonel Qin, and the door to the conference room was reopened.

The old butler and his people rushed in immediately and saw the paintings on the table, all put into paper bags, lying there quietly, just as they were before the closure.

However, the five appraisers quickly put on white gloves, quickly pulled out the paintings one by one, picked up a magnifying glass and examined them carefully.

The old housekeeper stood there with his hands behind his back very leisurely, calmly waiting for the results of his subordinates' identification.

"Authentic!"

"This one is also authentic!"

"This one is fine!"

"Mine is OK too!"

All the paintings were quickly checked, and no one was left behind. The feedback given to the old housekeeper was that all the paintings were authentic and there were no problems.

"The box, check that box carefully too!"

Next to the table, the box has been placed there quietly. All the wooden strips that were removed before are placed inside. It is not difficult to put it together.

The first thing the old housekeeper looked at when he entered the house was this box. Just by taking a glance, he knew that no one had touched this box, and it also had the smell that he was very familiar with.

Before the conference room was closed, the old housekeeper remembered the location of the box very clearly, and knew where it should be from every angle.

So I was able to confirm that no one had touched it right away, so I felt much more at ease.

"There is nothing wrong with the box, everything is complete!"

The five appraisal experts all made their judgments. After the old housekeeper nodded, he waved his hand and prepared to let the five people start packing.

Speaking of the boxes, the old housekeeper was the most depressed. He wanted to bring some personal belongings in from outside, but he was stopped just as he arrived at the gate, saying that no foreign things were allowed in.

Originally, I was going to customize a batch of professional boxes to place these paintings, but I also knew the rules here. No matter how I negotiated before, not even a needle was allowed to enter.

So in the end, we had to give up the plan of customizing the boxes and could only use the boxes that Chu Yunfeng and the others used to transport the paintings.

But just as he waved his hand, when these people were about to pack the boxes, Chu Yunfeng immediately stopped them: "Wait, what are you doing?"

Hmm~?

Everyone stopped and then looked at Chu Yunfeng in surprise!
"Mr. Chu, what, do you want to regret this deal?"

Seeing that Chu Yunfeng actually stopped him, the old housekeeper's eyes became stern and his brows furrowed tightly.

The three bodyguards behind him also began to stand in a triangle, as if they wanted to deal with the upcoming complex situation. This was just instinct. After they reacted, they suddenly felt that it was not necessary?
Facing the non-threatening pressure exerted by the old housekeeper, Chu Yunfeng spread his hands, and then solemnly reminded: "Did the housekeeper misunderstand?
Didn't I say I would regret it?

Moreover, the agreement has been signed. Wouldn’t it be a huge loss to go back on it now?
But have you forgotten something? It seems that these paintings are not yours now, right?
Is it possible that you want to get your hands on these things now?But I haven’t received anything from the Duke yet! "

After saying these words, Chu Yunfeng ignored the complicated expression on the old butler's face, and then started to put the paintings on the table into the boxes one by one.

"Mr. Chu, what does this mean?"

Wanting to clearly understand what Chu Yunfeng wanted to do, the old housekeeper could only ask.

Chu Yunfeng sneered while pretending: "That's what you see, these things still belong to me, and I won't give them to you until we get to the airport. This is what we have stipulated in the agreement.

Since you haven't even arrived at the airport yet, do you want to get your hands on these things?

Isn't this a bit inappropriate?

If something goes wrong with this batch of things along the way, who should bear the responsibility? "

Chu Yunfeng's words were correct. The old housekeeper had a gloomy face and was speechless after thinking for a long time. Then he began to worry that Chu Yunfeng would tamper with the painting.

It was originally planned that after verifying the authenticity in the conference room, these paintings would have to be under his nose. Then after arriving at the airport, no matter what Chu Yunfeng wanted to do, there would be no chance.

But now things have gone awry, so I have to be vigilant.

Then the old housekeeper stared at Chu Yunfeng, watching him put all the paintings into the box one by one.

And I have memorized all the sequences in my mind.
Chu Yunfeng did not randomly pack these paintings, but put them into boxes one by one.

There is one box for Hitler's paintings, one box for Leonardo da Vinci's manuscripts, one box for Van Gogh's oil paintings and one box for sketches, one box for Picasso's oil paintings and one box for sketches, and one box for the rest of the paintings.

This way of packing made the old housekeeper feel that there was no problem. He had thought the same way before. Putting these paintings separately would be very convenient for secondary identification at the airport.

Chu Yunfeng also prepared boxes of different sizes in advance. Smaller boxes for sketches, etc., while larger boxes for oil paintings are easy to distinguish.

Seeing Chu Yunfeng's handling of the matter, the old housekeeper suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. However, he must get into the same car with these boxes later and would not let these boxes leave his sight no matter what.

"Everything is packed, let's go!"

The moment the box was packed, Chu Yunfeng didn't waste any time, and was ready to go right away!

Colonel Qin nodded, and then six guards in civilian clothes immediately took a box from the table, and then followed Colonel Qin and started walking down.

The old housekeeper and his people quickly followed, staring at the boxes in the hands of these guards, not even daring to blink.

Chu Yunfeng walked at the back, picked up his phone and sent a text message: "The things have been installed as planned, and we are leaving soon!"

Then Ma Tiannan replied "I understand" and then made a phone call. On the way to the airport, many vehicles suddenly drove out from different places.

Most of these are private cars, and these vehicles all have the same destination, which is the airport! ! !

After going down to the first floor, there was a large car and several small cars parked downstairs. The guards carrying the boxes naturally sat on the large car. Without saying a word, the old housekeeper immediately followed with two people.

Chu Yunfeng said to the old housekeeper in the car: "Isn't it time to notify the other side to let me go?"

The old butler nodded, and then made a call. Over there at the manor in London, more than twenty cars had already lined up at the gate of the manor, waiting for the order to set off.

Just after the call was made, the gate of the manor slowly opened, and then the vehicles began to file out, also heading towards the airport.

"Let's take a car!"

Too lazy to squeeze the big car with the old housekeeper, Chu Yunfeng and Senior Colonel Qin got into a small car, the remaining five of the old housekeeper drove one by themselves, and the guards in plain clothes came with ten people and drove two small cars .

On the way to the airport, Colonel Qin couldn't help but ask: "Is this transaction safe?"

Colonel Qin was an insider. After the paintings were copied, he quietly put them back into the conference room, so he felt very uneasy at this time.

Chu Yunfeng also felt that he was a little nervous, but he was more excited. He smiled and said, "It's up to people to plan things, and it's up to God to make things happen. Let's do it step by step."

There should be nothing wrong with the whole plan, but now it’s up to God to help!
As more than 20 vehicles drove towards the London Airport, three teachers each sat in a small car and supervised the movement of these trucks.

At first, these trucks were still driving steadily on the road in a convoy, and there were almost no cars on the road from the Duke's manor.

There are a total of six airports in London, and Heathrow Airport in the west is the closest to the Manor. It is also one of the largest airports in London, with an average of one plane taking off every minute.

In fact, it only took an hour to drive the manor, but when the cars had only gone for 10 minutes, the three teachers found that there were more and more vehicles on the road.

It doesn't matter if there are too many vehicles, but the current section of the road is quite winding, with many curves and forks in the road.

So these convoys, which were a unit at the beginning, began to be gradually separated by the vehicles on the road. At first, there were not many separated and blocked, but gradually, the three of them found that the only one they could focus on was the car in front of them. .

The remaining 23 cars didn't know where they were going. Even if you stretched your head out, you couldn't see them because there were many large cars in front of them, blocking all the sight lines.

And the most depressing thing is that there is a traffic jam ahead, which makes the three teachers frown and have a bad feeling in their hearts.

So the three of them called each other to confirm the situation, and then Teacher Jin called to communicate with Chadwick.

Chadwick and the Duke had been sitting in the car at the back. When Teacher Jin called, Chadwick reported to the Duke and saw a proud smile on his face. Only then did he answer.

However, Chadwick responded anxiously to Teacher Jin's concerns and protests: "We are aware of the previous situation and are currently handling it. Please don't worry!"

"Don't worry, why should we rest assured? These vehicles have left our sight. If something goes wrong with the collection, will you be responsible for it?"

Faced with Teacher Jin's questioning, Chadwick responded easily: "Isn't it stated in the agreement? If these things don't arrive at the airport on time, they will be given to you for nothing.

We should be the ones worried now, right?If there is a problem with one of the cars, shouldn't you be grateful, or even congratulated? "

Chadwick's words did not clear up Mr. Jin's doubts, but instead made him feel even more uneasy.

The other party is right. Once time is wasted, it will be the one who ultimately benefits. But now that these cars are gone, how can the other party do anything?
So along the way, Teacher Jin carefully guessed the ways the other party could manipulate, but he couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried.

Even if they want to tamper with the car, each car contains so many collections that it is definitely not easy to swap them out.

Because once the goods are unloaded at the airport, you will be able to spot the clues!
The number plate of the vehicle is wrong, the number of containers on the vehicle is wrong, and the antiques randomly inspected are wrong. Once these problems arise, it will be the responsibility of the other party. Then according to the agreement, they will lose completely.

But what method will the other party use?

No matter how I think about it, I can't understand it!

But as time passed, when Chadwick called to say that the arrangements had been made, the 26 trucks gathered together again and regrouped into a convoy.

The three teachers asked the driver to drive faster and rechecked the number plates of the vehicles. Even the driver checked them again and found that there were no problems.

And these cars only disappeared from my sight for about 10 minutes.

But there was still some traffic jam along the way. It wasn't until all the vehicles arrived at the airport that Teacher Jin slapped his forehead. Suddenly, he felt more and more wrong. It seemed that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what the problem was. where?
When all the vehicles were parked at the airport, Teacher Jin suddenly realized that time was running out.
