However, the Sword of Attila had disappeared.
The guests did not know what had happened, but they were still praising the collection in the collection room, doing their utmost to curry favor with it.
Xia Lei and Shentu Tianyin were also talking and laughing, discussing about the imperial edict that came from the Emperor of Qing Dynasty. However, this was only a pretense. He had been observing the changes in An Jinjian's expression the entire time.
"What's going on?" An Xiuxian also noticed that the Sword of Attila was gone and immediately became nervous.
"I wanted to ask you, what's going on?" An Jinjian's voice was filled with anger, as if he would flare up at any time.
"I don't know, I ?" An Xiuxian turned around and glanced at Xia Lei and Shentu Tianyin. He remembered that he had brought Xia Lei and Shentu Tianyin here to admire the armor and blade of his ancestors.
An Jinjian finally exploded, as he lost control of his emotions, "Everyone, quiet down! Everyone, quiet down! "
All of the guests in the collection room quietened down, and all of their gazes gathered on An Jinjian.
An Jinjian lowered his voice and said: "Please forgive me, everyone. Please do not leave this place."
The bodyguards who accompanied An Jinjian in had already contacted the other bodyguards with their messengers. The bodyguards quickly rushed over and blocked the entrance of the study room, not allowing anyone to leave.
"What happened?" someone asked.
"Why don't we leave?"
"Did something go wrong?"
?
A bodyguard walked in and whispered into An Jinjian's ears: "Chairman An, the brother in charge of guarding the study room has been knocked out. In another room."
An Xiuxian also said: "Dad, other than the Sword of Attila, we also lost a few other precious treasures."
An Jinjian's brows were knitted together.
"Lost something?" someone exclaimed in surprise.
"Do you suspect us of stealing his things?"
"Funny, aren't we all in the dining room?"
"Who does he think we are?"
The guests were discussing amongst themselves, some of them dissatisfied. To be able to attend this banquet and see that the guests were all well-known figures, they would definitely feel uncomfortable if An Jinjian's treasures blocked them in this storage room.
"Quiet!" An Jinjian said angrily: "Someone stole my Sword of Attila, and that person might be among you, so before you can find out who he is, no one is allowed to leave!"
"He really thinks of us as thieves!" someone said angrily.
"Are you kidding? Is he crazy?"
"Who am I? To be questioned in such a manner is simply going too far! "
The collection room was too noisy to be quiet.
Xia Lei had been quietly observing the reactions of An Jinjian and An Xiuxian. Even though he looked calm on the outside, as if it had nothing to do with me, and was just watching the show, he was still very nervous inside. If he had left any clues in the action just now and had been discovered, it would have been terrible.
Even a god thief would inevitably feel guilty at this time.
"How could this be?" Shentu Tianyin's face was filled with surprise, "Not just anyone can enter this storage room, who would have such ability?"
Xia Lei said: "I also think it's strange, there's a password and a fingerprint, and there's even a guard, the person who can steal things from here must be a divine thief. "I'm afraid they've already set their sights on you."
"A god thief? Is there really a God Thief in this world? " Shentu Tianyin laughed, "I really want to see how that Divine Thief looks like, I think he's very powerful."
Xia Lei laughed in his heart, and silently said: "Aren't I standing right in front of you?"
An Xiuxian walked over and his gaze landed on Xia Lei's body. He said in a probing tone: "Mr. Xia, it's really strange, I brought you and Tian Yin here to take a look, then my family's most precious collection was gone. What do you think is going on? "
Xia Lei frowned, "Mister An, what do you mean?"
An Xiuxian said coldly: "I don't have any meaning, I was just casually asking. Everyone here is suspected, and everyone needs to be cleared up. "
The meaning behind his words was that he had to give me a reasonable explanation!
Xia Lei shrugged his shoulders, "What do you want me to clarify with you? Do I need to clarify anything for you? You have to understand that it wasn't me who asked you to bring me to your family's storage room. If you didn't bring me here, I wouldn't have known that you had such a storage room. In that case, what do you want me to clarify with you? "
An Xiuxian's face turned gloomy, but he could not refute what Xia Lei had said. His subconscious actually wanted to find some trouble for Xia Lei, even if it would be fine to frame him, but there were no flaws on his body that could be found.
Shentu Tianyin was unhappy, "Xiu Xian, do you mean that I am also suspected? Do I need to clarify anything for you? "
"No, no, no." An Xiuxian followed: "Sorry, Tianyin, you know, I definitely didn't mean that. Even if I suspected myself, I wouldn't doubt you. If you want to leave, I'll send you off right now. "
"Lei, let's go. I think we should go to the hotel." Shentu Tianyin said: "With such a thing happening, I don't want to live here anymore."
Xia Lei nodded his head, "Alright, let's go to the hotel."
However, An Xiuxian blocked Xia Lei, "He can't, Mr Xia can't leave."
Shentu Tianyin immediately frowned: "Xiu Xian, Lei is my friend, do you have to do this?"
An Xiuxian said, "Tianyin, please understand. Look, all the guests who came to the banquet stayed behind. They are all well-known figures in Korea. If Mr. Xia also left, then they will also leave. If the people leave, we might let the thief go. "
"Alright then, I'm not leaving either." Shentu Tianyin was a little angry.
An Xiuxian wanted to explain, but Xia Lei said: "Tian Yin, you should go, maybe we will need to search our bodies later on, I do not care, but given your status, you cannot lose this face."
"Ah?" You still want to search your body? " Shentu Tianyin was even more angry now.
"Xia Lei!" An Xiuxian became angry, "What nonsense are you spouting? Who said it was about to search Tianyin's body? You are a scoundrel! "
Xia Lei laughed coldly, he no longer spoke in Chinese, and spoke loudly in English: "I am a scoundrel? I think you're the real scoundrel! Do you think we're all thieves? Everyone present is a reputable figure. Who do you think you are, the President of Korea? You have no right to treat everyone else as a suspect! "
Few of the guests present understood Chinese, but they were the majority who understood English. After all, they were the elites of the Seoul region, and English was an international language, so their passion for learning English was definitely higher than that of learning Chinese. Xia Lei used English to make such a ruckus, causing an uproar in the collection room. Yeah, they are all well-known people, what right do they have to be asked to stay here and be investigated?
From the moment Xia Lei came to Korea, An Xiuxian had been causing trouble for Xia Lei, causing trouble for him and now it was Xia Lei's turn to look for trouble for him, causing trouble for him.
Even though An Jinjian was the chairman of the God Realm Guild and had a very strong influence in the political world, offending so many influential people in one go was definitely not a good thing. Moreover, he was counting on these people to support him in the next presidential election.
An Jinjian's face became more and more gloomy, his eyes were like an old wolf with rich experience in hunting food.
However, An Xiuxian was not as patient as him. He grabbed onto Xia Lei's collar and said coldly: "Xia Lei, you will die miserably!"
Xia Lei did not struggle. Instead, he spoke loudly in English: "Are you threatening to kill me? I want to call the police! "
The guests all looked at An Xiuxian and Xia Lei and discussed in private.
"Xiuxian, let him go." An Jinjian started to speak, "Everyone, I am so sorry, I made the wrong decision because I was in a hurry. "How about this, let's all go into the living room and have a seat. I'll treat everyone to tea and express my apologies."
Only then did the guests' resentment subside a little. An Jinjian and An Xiuxian brought the guests to the living room, Xia Lei and Shentu Tianyin were also there. A few minutes later, the police arrived in the living room. There was a large group of them. Police technicians called up surveillance videos, some of them to survey the scene, and others to investigate the guests.
Xia Lei had obviously been specially taken care of, as a policeman questioned him in English. Xia Lei calmly replied and cooperated with the investigation. He had already guessed at every question the police asked and had already prepared the answer.
After answering the police's question, Xia Lei's gaze moved onto An Jinjian. From the moment An Jinjian entered the living room, he had been on the phone. His face was also filled with tension and worry.
Xia Lei's heart was filled with doubt, and he thought to himself: It's just an ancient sword, even if it's a Sword of Attila, this is only a product, a plaything for An Jinjian. Even if the Sword of Attila was worth 200 million or even 1 billion, it wouldn't count for much to a person like An Jinjian, right? But why is he so nervous? "
For some reason, Xia Lei suddenly remembered the abnormal weight of the Sword of Attila.
Could the Sword of Attila be hiding some kind of secret?
"Ley." Shentu Tianyin walked to Xia Lei's side, "I'm already regretting having you accompany me to Korea. You shouldn't have experienced such troubles."
Xia Lei's train of thoughts was interrupted by her, he laughed: "It's nothing, compared to the troubles we experienced before, what's this time?"
"You don't need to accompany me to the foundation laying ceremony tomorrow. We'll return to the country as soon as I'm done."
"Sure." Xia Lei wished for it to end like this.
Just then, An Jinjian ended the call. He chatted with a police officer for a while and then said loudly, "Everyone, I apologize for the trouble I brought to everyone tonight." With that, he bowed deeply.
It was definitely not by luck that An Jinjian had been able to make it to this stage today. As he apologized, the anger in the hearts of many of the guests also disappeared.
"Everyone can go back now. I'll call you guys one day to express my apologies." An Jinjian finally let his go.
Xia Lei and Shentu Tianyin left.
An Xiuxian did not go up to stop Shentu Tianyin. Instead, he stared at Xia Lei's back, his eyes filled with a dark ruthlessness.
