In Panjiayuan, the first thing they did was trick Lao Hu into going tomb raiding.

"In fact, that's what I think too..."

"But... for the past few years, I've been receiving videotapes..."

As she spoke, Huo Xiangu picked up the remote control beside her and turned on the color television in front of her.

On the television screen, a pale-faced, eerily attractive young woman was combing her hair in front of the camera.

Her posture was very strange, and her facial expression was different from that of a normal person.

The videotape was completely silent, with no other sounds, and the atmosphere was indescribably eerie and terrifying.

"Huo Ling!"

Wang Kaixuan exclaimed in surprise, "She's Huo Ling from the Xisha archaeological team! I saw her picture with Wu Xie before..."

Huo Xiangu pressed the pause button on the remote control, and Huo Ling's restrained, terrifying, and extremely incongruous face remained on the screen.

"good…"

"That's Huo Ling," said Huo Xiangu. "She was a member of the Xisha archaeological team back then. I used to think she was long dead, but then Master Su told me last time that Huo Ling is still alive..."

"If in the future, Master Su, Master Hu, and the other tomb raiders can rescue my poor daughter, you will be the benefactors of the Huo family..."

"My Huo family is willing to follow Master Su's lead!"

Chapter 333: The Killing Intent Resurfaces

"If in the future, Master Su, Master Hu, and the other tomb raiders can rescue my poor daughter, you will be the benefactors of the Huo family..."

"My Huo family is willing to follow Master Su's lead!"

Huo Xiangu looked at Su Mo with a serious expression.

"..."

Su Mo could only manage a bitter smile.

save?

How to save him?

Huo Ling's bizarre hair-combing movements on screen clearly indicate that she is not a normal person.

Even if we rescue them, what then?

Su Mo said, "Fairy Maiden, I told you before that you should consult Zhang Rishan about this matter... What did he say?"

Huo Xiangu shook her head, looking dissatisfied.

Hey!

Su Mo sighed deeply, "Alright, if I have the chance to meet Huo Ling, I will definitely do my best to save her..."

"Happy birthday!"

Su Mo turned around, took out an ancient jade pendant, and personally helped Xiu Xiu put it around her neck.

"Thank you, Master Su..."

As a descendant of the Huo family of the Nine Gates, Huo Xiuxiu had a keen eye. She immediately recognized that the ancient jade pendant given by Su Mo was of considerable value and was a top-quality piece of ancient jade.

Su Mo nodded, then turned and left.

Su Mo was in a good mood, but after being bothered by Old Madam Huo, he lost it.

Seeing Su Mo leave, Lao Hu and the others also presented their gifts and then took their leave.

……

a few days later.

A small gathering within SuMo Company.

"Master Su!"

Chaos said, "Ah Ning, whom you asked us to keep an eye on, has been acting strangely lately. Although we've taken Jude Kao under control, most of his assets have been transferred to our accounts..."

"However, there are some real economy assets, such as real estate and shops, that we can't touch, and most of these assets are currently in the hands of Aning and Jude Kao's former confidants..."

"According to our investigation over the past few days, Jude Kao's remnants are currently collaborating with a company called 'Alpha'..."

"This company has shares held by the Wang family, and can be considered an overseas branch of the Wang family. Its main business now is smuggling Chinese cultural relics out of the country!"

"They even stole precious cultural relics from some private museums, swapped them with fakes, and smuggled the genuine articles out of the country. These genuine articles are all national first-class and second-class cultural relics!"

"Ever since Jude Kao was brought under our control, the foreign mercenaries have suddenly had more contact with this company..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Kaixuan became somewhat angry. "What's wrong with this Aning? We've been helping her so much, yet she's repeatedly gone against us. The Wang family almost killed her in Misty Village last time, but instead, she's getting closer and closer to them!"

Old Hu said, "It must be the idea of ​​those mercenaries. These people will follow whoever feeds them, and their methods are always despicable!"

Upon hearing that Alpha Corporation had dared to substitute a national treasure with a counterfeit, Su Mo slammed his fist on the jade table in anger: "Outrageous! Unbridled!"

"Investigate them! Investigate all their connections! Find Alpha Corporation, the foreign mercenaries, the people who work for them, the people who arrange the routes, the people who switch the goods, and the people who make the counterfeits..."

"Investigate again to find out how many such forces exist in the country that are actually transporting treasures abroad. Investigate all national treasures, first-class cultural relics, second-class cultural relics, and third-class cultural relics. Find out who has been transported or involved in them!"

As the leading figure in China's antique industry, Su Mo was furious that someone was committing evil deeds right under his nose.

This was the first time in all these years that he had been this angry.

He went through all the trouble of bringing the national treasure home, but these people actually smuggled it away behind his back!

These people have crossed Su Mo's bottom line!

Taotie said, "According to intelligence provided by our underworld brothers, Alfa Corporation has had approximately three main smuggling routes in China over the years..."

"One was the international salvage team that Jude Kao used before, the second was a guy called 'Brother Knife,' the third was provided by Wu Sansheng, and the rest were just some smaller routes..."

"According to statistics, in just the past few years, these routes have smuggled out more than 10,000 genuine third-grade, second-grade, and first-grade cultural relics!"

"More than tens of thousands of counterfeit items!"

"It's worth mentioning that Wu Sansheng smuggled mostly counterfeit goods..."

"This 'Knife Bro,' most of the genuine items originated from him..."

Shirley Yang frowned and said sternly, "Tens of thousands of cultural relics of grade three or above? That's too arrogant!"

Su Mo's inner volcano finally erupted, "Have they figured out the origin of their antiques?"

Chaos nodded and said, "We've investigated. Most of them came from ancient tombs, a small portion of the genuine articles were replaced with fakes from private museums, and the rest were acquired..."

Taotie said, "I didn't expect Wu Sansheng to get involved too, but thankfully, he knows how to restrain himself!"

Shirley Yang said, "That Brother Dao deserves to die!"

Su Mo sneered: "Death? Death is too much of a luxury for him!"

"Make arrangements for me to hand over all criminal evidence, except for Wu Sansheng, of Brother Dao and all other smuggling gangs to the authorities!"

"Let this 'Knife Brother' spend the rest of his life behind bars!"

"At the same time, have our people keep an eye on things. If anyone dares to bail out Brother Dao, notify us immediately..."

"For things that the law can't touch, we'll do them the way the law works!"

Chapter 334: Wu Xie is in trouble again.

"At the same time, have our people keep an eye on things. If anyone dares to bail out Brother Dao, notify us immediately..."

"For things that the law can't touch, we'll do them the way the law works!"

"I'd like to see if these guys really have the guts to do something so outrageous!"

In other fields, Su Mo really couldn't interfere with illegal and criminal activities, but in the field of antiques, Su Mo would never allow such things to happen.

Since taking over the Northeast market, Su Mo Company has controlled more than 60% of the antiques in China, with countless antiques flowing out of various auction houses every day. It is the undisputed leader in the industry.

Even at their peak, the Nine Gates were far inferior to Su Mo now.

As the saying goes, every country has its laws, and every industry has its rules.

Smuggling one's own country's antique treasures abroad is unacceptable in any era or country.

As an industry leader, Su Mo was even less willing to allow this to happen under his nose.

Shirley Yang said, "It's unimaginable how many precious cultural relics Jude Kao and the Wang family have smuggled out of our country!"

"You captured Jude Kao last time, I heard you got a great haul?"

Shirley Yang looked at Su Mo.

Su Mo scoffed, "Large? It's more than just large, two hundred billion in cash, thousands of cultural relics..."

"If Jude Kao hadn't been dying, I would never have let him off so easily last time!"

"The overseas business department has been working day and night to deal with his antiques, and they're still not done..."

"Chaos, you personally oversee this matter; there can be no carelessness..."

Hearing Su Mo's words, Chaos nodded: "Yes, I'll arrange it right away. I heard from my friends in the underworld that they have a batch of evidence still in their warehouse..."

Su Mo said, "You should personally take care of them to avoid any unexpected incidents..."

Chaos replied respectfully, "Yes!"

"boss…"

Outside, a bodyguard approached. "Wang Yueban is here..."

Taotie asked in surprise, "How did this kid find his way here? Wasn't he always following Wu Xie...?"

Su Mo didn't think much of it, waved his hand, and said, "Let him in..."

A few minutes later, Wang Yueban was brought in by bodyguards.

"Master, my fellow disciples..."

Wang Yueban dared not be careless and bowed to Lao Hu and the others one by one.

Wang Kaixuan said impatiently, "Just say what you want to say, we're very busy..."

"Yes Yes Yes!"
