Chapter 638 - 621: The Reason
Ever since Lu Hongjun regained consciousness, he’s been pondering exactly who wants to mess with him? After thinking it through, he believes it’s meaningless to target someone of his age, so he suspects he might have been implicated by Lu Jiaxin. He never expected the truth to be like this, but there’s still one question.
"Even if I admitted to giving you the collection of old items, it shouldn’t implicate him, right?"
Lu Jiaxin said, "Once you admitted it, they traced it back to me. Don’t forget, after the cultural relics law was enacted, you can trade antiques, but precious cultural relics cannot be taken out of the country."
The real reason is that Su Heyuan helped him smuggle these items out. Given Su Heyuan’s nature, he’s definitely done more than just a few illegal things. They’re trying to uproot Su Heyuan by following this lead. Of course, political struggles are never that simple. Lu Jiaxin didn’t want to delve further; politics is even more complex and dangerous than business.
Lu Hongjun understood and said, "Still, it’s because of you that I’m in trouble."
Hearing this, Lu Jiaxin chuckled twice, "Because of me? When you gave me these old items, were you really forced by Big Brother and Fifth Brother? Or were you hiding other intentions?"
Lu Hongjun uncomfortably said, "What intentions could I have?"
Lu Jiaxin bluntly said, "Big Brother and Fifth Brother clearly said they didn’t want these items, but you felt the secret might leak and worried there’s no such thing as an impenetrable wall, so you gave them to me as an easy way out."
"I’ve already settled in Hong Kong, so obviously these things would be transported there. If your material smuggling got exposed, I would think of ways to help you because of these items."
Lu Hongjun didn’t admit, claiming she was imagining things: "You’re my only child; my possessions are all meant for you."
