The Hidden Heiress Is a Secret Big Shot

Chapter 315: Chapter 315: Robbing the Wealth of the Pei Family, Aiding the Poverty of Yu Chen Chapter 315: Chapter 315: Robbing the Wealth of the Pei Family, Aiding the Poverty of Yu Chen Pei Jue chuckled softly.

“Do you want me to accompany you guys?”

Without thinking, it was obvious that the ancient paintings suddenly missing from Ye Qilan’s home a few days ago were the handiwork of Monk Yu Chen.

Yu Chen waved his hands, “No need, no need, you don’t understand our style. If you came, you would just add to the chaos for me and Boss Qing. Just coordinate with my senior sister and prepare what’s needed for the ritual!”

Pei Jue raised an eyebrow.

This was the first time someone had told him that he was only in the way!

But the speaker was Master Yu Chen, whose vision as a cultivator was always particularly clear. Confronted with those slightly limpid eyes, it was evident that he was speaking his true feelings.

It was hard for Pei Jue to be angry.

“Grandma isn’t home, I’ll prepare what’s needed for the ritual. Come back early. If you need my help, remember to contact me.”

The latter half of the sentence was directed at Qingwu.

“Okay, I understand,” she replied.

Yu Chen patted Pei Jue on the shoulder with satisfaction and left with Qingwu.

…

Elder Pei Liu’s residence.

“Old Madam, how many times have I told you, those antiques by my side are meant to go to auction!”

Watching the Old Lady Pei drinking tea across from him, Elder Pei Liu was almost amused by her obstinacy!

“Liu, you know well whether those items in your possession are clean or not, don’t force me to report you.”

“Those are things I bought with real money, how are they not clean? Old Madam, after all, we are still a family. If it weren’t for Pei Jue messing up my business, I wouldn’t be selling family assets!”

Old Lady Pei didn’t even bother to lift her drooping eyelids.

“I’ve said it, I want those items. Whether they are your family assets or not, you know better.”

Elder Pei Liu was almost driven mad!

No sooner had the Old Lady stepped through the door, she demanded all the antique treasures from his storehouse!

Elder Pei Liu was reluctant, and Old Lady Pei threatened to report him right away, with the Cultural Relics Protection Bureau’s number set up on her phone!

“Old Madam, those vases come through clean channels, you can’t just slander me!”

Old Lady Pei gave a faint smile.

“Ming Dynasty’s sea dragon pattern plum vase, intertwined lotus eight treasures pattern jar, Doucai children’s play scene vase, you say these come through clean channels? As far as I know, these items are kept in museums. What are these ‘clean channels’ you speak of? Directly robbing the museum?”

Elder Pei Liu’s expression was quite bitter.

“Old Madam, these items are literally my lifeline, if you take them away, I can’t proceed with tomorrow’s auction!”

“I don’t care about all that, I’ve come here, hand over the things and I’ll leave, otherwise, go to jail.”

Old Lady Pei left Elder Pei Liu no other options.

Suddenly, a thumping sound came from the ceiling of the living room.

Elder Pei Liu stared at the ceiling from where the noise was coming, only to hear Old Lady Pei sarcastically say, “Oh, really shows how down and out you are, to even have rats in this house.”

“Old Madam, I really can’t just give these to you for free!”

Listening to the sounds beside her ear, the steps coming one after the other, Old Lady Pei gracefully picked up the teacup beside her and took a sip.

“Take me to see the goods, if they aren’t good enough, I don’t want them. If the goods are fine, I will pay you half the market price.”

Above their heads, Qingwu listened to Old Lady Pei bargaining proficiently, her lips slightly curving up.

“Didn’t see it coming that Grandma Pei is actually this formidable.”

Yu Chen shrugged his shoulders, his large frame cautiously curling up in the narrow passage.

“This is something, after my sister reformed, she became a specially recruited expert at the Cultural Relics Protection Bureau, taking us under her protection, let’s go, let’s get the stuff first.”

Elder Pei’s wife deeply knows that the life of an antique dealer is perilous and uncertain.

She simply accepted the government’s offer of amnesty. In her youth, she was either singing or serving as an expert at the Cultural Relics Protection Bureau. She knew better than anyone about the origins of the antiques that Elder Pei Liu had.

Listening to the fading sound by her side, Elder Pei’s wife’s lips lightly curved up.

Qingwu and Yu Chen groped their way to the place where Elder Pei Liu kept his antiques and cultural relics.

“Monk, head over there.”

“Alright.”

Qingwu removed the hairpin from her head and skillfully inserted its end into the surveillance port. With a light effort of her arm muscles, she dismantled the surveillance camera, causing the circuit to lapse into a brief paralysis.

Without even turning his head, Yu Chen swiftly swapped many of Elder Pei Liu’s antiques with counterfeits, and placed the vase he had taken out from somewhere back on the antique shelf.

Qingwu listened to footsteps coming from nearby and gave Yu Chen a meaningful look.

The two quickly returned to the passage on the rooftop and concealed themselves against the wall.

The surveillance below resumed operation as if the brief circuit failure and lapse into sleep were merely illusions!

Elder Pei Liu pushed open the door of the storage room and glanced at the blinking red light on the surveillance camera before he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Old lady, you can pick whatever items you want from these, but those things you talked about earlier, I really can’t give you! Pei Jue should leave me a way to live!”

“Old lady, we are family after all!”

Elder Pei’s wife disdainfully said, “Who’s family? Don’t make me throw up last year’s New Year’s dinner.”

She walked over to the antique shelf, touched the patterns on the vase, and suddenly smiled!

With these items, she could tell whether they were genuine or fake with just a touch!

Clearly, Yu Chen and Monk had replaced everything here with fakes recently!

The antiques Elder Pei Liu thought he could use for a comeback were all counterfeits!

Elder Pei’s wife snorted coldly.

“Pei Liu, you better watch out.”

After saying that, she turned and left, not even sparing Elder Pei Liu an extra glance!

Elder Pei Liu was extremely puzzled, but then considering that Elder Pei’s wife was always moody, she might have suffered some ailment again. As long as she hasn’t asked him for anything now, that was enough!

Elder Pei Liu called Lian Ousheng.

“For tomorrow’s auction, invite Pei Jue and the old master too. I want to show them in front of them who really rules over the Pei Family,”

“Yes.”

…

Leisure Inn, Dragon Building, Pei Mansion.

Yu Chen rubbed his hands, looking at the antiques placed in his room, his face bursting with joy.

Qingwu spoke sarcastically, “Monk, your style of cultivation is truly unique. You might as well dig up an ancient tomb and sleep in it; it’s all antique and even the graves are thousands of years old.”

Yu Chen brought his hands together in prayer.

“Boss Qing, you don’t understand, this is the monk’s path of cultivation. These items, once taken to the auction market, will help countless children go to school and wear warm new clothes!”

Yu Chen’s path of cultivation had one crucial point: rob from the rich to aid the poor!

Rob the wealth of the unrighteous rich, to aid the poorest underneath the heavens!

“But before that, let the monk properly appreciate these items; they are the essence left by our ancestors!”

Watching Yu Chen holding a vase in his left hand and an ancient painting in his right, yet his expression resembled that of a transcendent sage, Qingwu’s lips twitched.

Luckily, she had gotten used to the Monk’s antics.

Thinking about how the antiques in the storeroom had been swapped with counterfeits, Qingwu chuckled along.

“I am really looking forward to tomorrow’s auction, can’t wait to see how spectacular Elder Pei Liu’s expression will be!”
