Movie variety show soul travels between two worlds to become a rich man

Chapter 544 Using a big name as a tiger's skin
"I only want the things; I have no interest in your lives," Gao Dongxu said with a faint smile.

“That’s true, but what if you change your mind after you get the item?” JC looked at Gao Dongxu and said in a deep voice.

"There's no other way, then you'll have to gamble on my integrity. Of course, you can also refuse to hand it over, kill you all, and we'll search slowly, but that would be a bit more troublesome." Gao Dongxu said in a mocking tone, a cold glint in his eyes.

JC felt a chill run down his spine and immediately relented, saying, "Fine, here you go."

“The three of you go with him to get it—” Gao Dongxu said with a smile to Erpang, Fugui and Fusheng.

The three nodded. JC glanced at Liao Fan, Xiang You, and the unconscious Lan Xin, smiled helplessly, and turned to walk upstairs.

"What happened to her?" Gao Dongxu smiled, glanced at the unconscious Lan Xin, and asked the two sisters.

"Your kicks were too vicious, you angered me, so I went a little overboard," Ru Qing said nonchalantly.

Sang-woo glared fiercely at Ru-qing, looking as if he wanted to kill her.

"Whoosh-"

A flash of cold light, and a double-edged throwing knife flew past Sang-woo's cheek, leaving a three- or four-centimeter-long wound on his face that began to bleed.

"If you glare at me like that again, I'll blind you—" Ruqing's beautiful eyes were cold and sharp as she threw the flying knife, and she said with a sneer.

Okay, so this is the true face of the assassin sisters, Ru Xin and Ru Qing: cold as ice and ruthless.

Gao Dongxu shook his head and chuckled. He understood the two sisters' ruthlessness very well. After all, they had been trained as assassins since childhood, grew up in a harsh environment, and were surrounded by bad people. If they weren't ruthless, they would have died long ago.

However, Su Yan was genuinely frightened. She never expected that her twin sisters, who were about the same age as her, would be so ruthless, readily pulling out guns and knives, acting like vicious people.

dong dong dong-

A moment later, the sound of footsteps coming downstairs could be heard. Gao Dongxu saw Erpang, Fugui, and Fusheng each carrying a silver suitcase and following JC down the stairs.

JC frowned and looked at Go Dong-wook when he saw Sang-woo's face stained with blood.

"He brought it on himself," Gao Dongxu said calmly. Then, ignoring the grim-faced police officer, he said to the three men, "Open it and let me see—"

Fu Gui, Er Pang, and Fu Sheng immediately bent down and squatted down, opening the three suitcases to show the contents inside.

A rat's head, a rooster's head, and the scepters of the Pharaoh and the Tsarina, placed in a box, along with a golden eagle box, the Star of Arabia, and roses.

Gao Dongxu's eyes lit up. Ignoring the two beast heads, he bent down and picked up the framed oil painting of roses, about the size of an eight-inch photograph. A smile played on his lips as he looked at the small painting and exclaimed, "Who would have thought that the roses so sought by countless people would end up in the hands of an art thief..."

As he spoke, Gao Dongxu smiled happily and looked at JC, who looked depressed and upset, and said, "JC, you have really given me a lot of surprises. I didn't expect that you would have the chicken head as well. I thought you only had the rat head and the rabbit head."

"Heh..." JC gave a bitter smile that was more like a grimace. Before, his mind was filled with questions such as what Gao Dongxu's group was all about, whether they were hired by Earl Matthew, and how his team's hideout had been exposed.

Upon hearing Gao Dongxu's words, JC could basically confirm that the other party was a skilled fighter hired by the owner, Earl Matthew.

"We accept our loss; this can be considered a return to its rightful owner."

Hearing JC's helpless wry smile, Gao Dongxu couldn't help but burst into laughter. Holding the roses with obvious delight, he smiled and looked at the slightly furrowed, confused JC, saying, "You don't think we were hired by Earl Matthew, do you?"

"Isn't that right?" JC was startled and frowned as he looked at the teasingly smiling Gao Dongxu.

"Of course not." A sly glint flashed in Gao Dongxu's eyes as he looked at the frowning police officer, raised an eyebrow slightly, and couldn't help but feel a mischievous urge.

"And who are you?" JC asked tentatively.

"You really want to know? Are you planning to get revenge later?" Gao Dongxu teased with a smile.

"No, absolutely not. I said we'd admit defeat this time, especially since we were defeated by our own compatriots..." JC hurriedly denied, while not forgetting to make a final attempt to establish kinship.

"Hehe, it's no big deal to tell you." Gao Dongxu's eyes gleamed with a strange light as he took out his green ID card and tossed it to the police officer.

JC hurriedly reached out and caught it. When he saw Bureau 749 on the cover and the affiliated unit, his pupils suddenly contracted. When he opened the document, JC's hand trembled and he almost dropped the document.

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to be government officials. I'm truly convinced..."

JC closed the ID and handed it back to Gao Dongxu, saying with a wry smile.

His words caused tech geeks Liao Fan and Xiang You to look up in shock, staring at Gao Dongxu in disbelief.

They were truly dumbfounded; when did those in charge start engaging in double-crossing?

Leng Feng, Ru Qing, and Ru Xin all subtly twitched the corners of their mouths. Su Yan was completely convinced and looked at Gao Dongxu with eyes full of admiration.

Yes, it was genuine admiration. Su Yan's beautiful eyes sparkled as she watched Gao Dongxu continue to flatter her.

"Now that you know who we are, you're welcome to seek revenge and get your revenge anytime," Gao Dongxu said with a mocking smile.

"Heh..." After checking the documents, JC didn't completely believe Gao Dongxu and his gang's identities, but he had to admit defeat. They were officials, and the gangsters were bandits. It was perfectly reasonable for them to rob or seize stolen goods from these bandits. Although this was in France, where law enforcement was supposedly not allowed, the gangsters were too powerful and completely crushed them.

Those little schemes they might have had before have now been completely abandoned. To put it bluntly, their entire team members are all Hong Kong citizens from mainland China. If they were really to be arrested, they wouldn't be able to escape.

This was also Gao Dongxu's main purpose in showing the police his identification: to make the police feel powerless and obediently accept their fate.

After all, the JC team's ability to become a legend in the world of theft is beyond doubt. Although Gao Dongxu is not afraid of them, he does not want to be hated and remembered by them all the time.

It's not the theft itself that's worrisome, but the thief's predatory intent. Preventing theft for a thousand days is not as effective as eliminating future problems.

If we can't kill them to silence them, we can only threaten them.

"Hmph, MP Group offers a one million euro reward for each animal head, then puts it up for auction and forces our people to buy it back at an exorbitant price. This isn't a business transaction; it's an act of disgust towards our country, a shameless extortion..."

Gao Dongxu suddenly gave a cold, righteous laugh, making the three JCs extremely embarrassed. Although they had their own set of values, they had no choice but to bow their heads and remain silent in the face of such lofty national sentiments.

“You should be glad you haven’t handed over the beast heads yet, otherwise I wouldn’t be so easy to talk to now.”

Looking at JC's helpless and embarrassed smile, Gao Dongxu knew that talking to JC and his two companions was like casting pearls before swine; they wouldn't care at all and would continue to steal as before, ultimately just a bunch of thieves.

“I’ve taken the items. Young man, you can stay with me for now. When I get the rabbit head back, bring it back to exchange for him.”

Gao Dongxu gestured for the three men, including Fugui, to close the box. Then, he smiled and walked over to Liao Fan, the tech geek, put his arm around Liao Fan's shoulder, and said to the changing-faced police officer with a grin.

"No need, I promise to send it to you as soon as I get the rabbit head..." JC looked at Gao Dongxu and said with a wry smile.

"Hehe, it's settled then. You and this young man go back to your room to pack your luggage... Also, take his computer equipment." Gao Dongxu ignored JC and said to Leng Feng with a smile.

His words surprised both JC and Liao Fan. JC smiled wryly again. It seemed that the other party already knew everything about the four of them. There were no secrets left. In other words, the other party also knew about their respective family situations.

A sense of powerlessness welled up within JC, who lamented that no matter how powerful they were, they couldn't possibly stand up to the mysterious and powerful relevant authorities.

"Go ahead, once the rabbit head arrives, I'll send it over to exchange for you." JC looked at Liao Fan helplessly and said with a wry smile.

Liao Fan nodded, then turned and walked towards the stairs, with Leng Feng following closely behind.

As Gao Dongxu sat down on the sofa, admiring the rose oil painting with great interest, everyone fell silent, and the living room became very quiet. It wasn't until Lan Xin, who had been unconscious, slowly woke up that Xiang You and JC inquired about her condition with concern.

About ten minutes later, Leng Feng came down with Liao Fan, who was carrying a backpack and a travel bag.

"Alright, it's almost 2 AM. We won't disturb your rest any longer. Stay a while. We've got the rabbit head. Call this guy, we'll discuss the transaction location later. Goodnight—"

Gao Dongxu stood up and smiled at JC, then took the roses and led everyone to open the door, quickly walking towards the black minivan parked by the roadside.

JC stood at the door, watching the black minivan speed away. His face was grim. He closed the door with a sigh of despair and returned to the living room, where he plopped down on the sofa. He looked at Lan Xin, who was applying a band-aid to Xiang You's pale and pained face, and asked her a question.

"how do you feel?"

"It's nothing serious, just my chin and neck hurt." After applying the bandage to her estranged husband Xiangyou's wound, Lan Xin, pale-faced, moved her chin and rubbed her neck, smiling bitterly.

"We've really messed up this time..." Xiangyou struggled to move his sitting position, feeling that although his two ribs weren't broken, they were still fractured from the impact.

"That's normal. No one can stand up to the power of a nation. It seems that the issue of the animal heads has really angered some big shots. Otherwise, they wouldn't have..." JC said helplessly.

"What department are they from?" Lan Xin asked curiously.

“Bureau 749, have you heard of it?” JC looked at the couple.

The two men frowned and shook their heads. JC smiled wryly and said, "It must be a secret department. Judging from their behavior, they have no scruples and will stop at nothing to achieve their goals..."

"Those twin sisters were ruthless, but the other woman is strange..." Xiangyou frowned as he spoke, then suddenly saw his wife glancing at him sideways and immediately shut up.

“That woman is indeed very strange, out of place… Never mind, let’s not think about that anymore. David has been taken away by them as a hostage, and we can only exchange him for the rabbit head. This time, we really have nothing to show for it.” JC said with a helpless bitter smile.

"Should we contact Zong Sheng immediately and cancel the transaction?" Lan Xin asked JC.

"Well, the three bronze heads are manageable, but the rose painting is the real problem..." JC said with immense heartache, "Two hundred million dollars just vanished like that..."
