Chapter 948 - 0948: Old Friends Help 6
Having pulled off such a bold heist, Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue were both excited and barely slept that night.
The next day, they ate in a nearby pastry shop and heard no rumors.
After eating, they strolled around the neighborhood as if nothing had happened, pretending to be looking for someone. Around nine o’clock, they saw a commotion at the entrance of the cultural relics department; many police officers were hurrying back and forth, everyone with a serious look on their faces, knocking on doors for inquiries.
At the same time, they also spotted He Hongjun among them.
By late morning, when most of the people had gradually dispersed, Lu Jiang, who stood by the roadside, gestured to He Hongjun.
He Hongjun wiped the sweat off his forehead, "Comrades, what brings you here?"
"We came nearby to look for someone, but couldn’t find them. We missed the train back, so we stayed here for the night and are about to head back to the state-run hotel near the train station where we were staying," Feng Qingxue answered his question and tilted her chin toward the cultural relics department, "What happened there? I see that the police department has been mobilized, some looking bewildered, some stern."
He Hongjun glanced around and whispered, "A big incident, a huge one, inexplicable. It’s horrifying that such a thing could happen at a time when the remnants of the old world are being purged."
Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue asked what had happened.
"A large batch of cultural relics that were to be shipped to the southeast coast disappeared overnight from the cultural relics department, the entire warehouse was empty. Oh, not quite, the warehouse still had some tattered items, the broken shelves that used to store books and paintings because the relics had been packed in boxes. Additionally, a large box of gold was found on the scene, a quaint redwood box. You tell me, isn’t that shocking?"
