A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 194 Big Appetite

After the college entrance exam, Fangfang went abroad to study, and Lin Feng followed her. They attended the same school abroad. She was very surprised, but also pleasantly surprised. A few months earlier, he had confessed his feelings to her, revealing the secret he had kept hidden in his heart. He said that he had fallen in love with her the moment he first saw her in their first year of high school, and that the reason he hadn't accepted any other girls was because of her. He had gone abroad to study with her because of her too. She was deeply moved, tears streaming down her face. Her heart was pounding with excitement and joy, so she accepted his advances without hesitation, but on the condition that they both complete their studies before they could officially begin dating.

Now, seeing him again, the man who first stirred her heart, that emotion she had buried deep within her heart ignited like a spark, instantly engulfing the prairie of her heart in a raging inferno, unstoppable. It wasn't because she was rude, nor because she was arrogant, but because the moment she saw him, her heart skipped a beat, filled with a joyful surprise and an indescribable excitement. Thus, she froze, bewildered and at a loss.

It's him, it's him, the boy who made my heart flutter, Falcon!

Just like when I saw him a few years ago, he hasn't changed at all. He's still so handsome. The only change is that he has some stubble, but that makes him look even more masculine.

Hearing her father's reprimand, she finally came to her senses, reached out her hand, and smiled slightly, "You... are good!"

Chao Bufan held her hand, clearly feeling it trembling slightly. He smiled and said, "Long time no see!"

Startled, she quickly withdrew her hand, smiled slightly, and said, "Long time no see!"

Everyone could see that Fangfang's behavior was noticeably off; she seemed very nervous. The old leader looked slightly surprised. Tang Guoqiang spoke first, smiling, "Everyone, please sit down!"

Everyone was seated on the sofa. Tang Guoqiang asked, "Bufan, where's Qianqian?"

Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan glanced at the room behind him and said, "He's practicing in his room!"

Tang Guoqiang nodded and asked, "Bufan, did you deliberately put those product images that are about to be auctioned online?"

Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan smiled slightly and said, "Yes."

The old leader scolded, "You brat, you really seem to thrive on chaos! Do you know how many countries have been moved since these pictures were made public? Especially the countries that originated from these pictures, they have all condemned your despicable act of selling their national treasures and unanimously demanded that our HX government return their national treasures to them. The government is under tremendous pressure right now!"

Chao Bufan showed no surprise whatsoever. Instead, he sneered and said, "What a joke! I'm selling their national treasures? That's utter nonsense! These things are from three thousand years ago. They were stolen by pirates one hundred and fifty years ago. In the past one hundred and fifty years, have they ever gotten their hands on them? Now they're ownerless, and I've gotten them by chance. And they have the nerve to demand that we return them to them? Why should I? I can't be bothered with them. Let them talk nonsense!"

Old Tang said, "But have you thought about what the consequences would be if these things were auctioned off?"

Chao Bufan said with a disdainful look, "I don't care about all that. The stuff is mine, and I can do whatever I want with it. They better not mess around. If they piss me off, I'll destroy their country."

"..."

Chao Bufan's powerful words made Lao Tang and the others smile. In the past, if Falcon himself had said such a thing, everyone would have been somewhat skeptical. But now, this Falcon was different; they believed everything he said because they all knew he had a knack for boasting. Only Murong Fangfang, sitting next to the old leader, showed surprise, thinking: "His words... are so domineering, they're almost too awesome!"

Old Tang shook his head and smiled, saying, "The government is turning a blind eye to this and saying they don't know anything about it, but don't do anything rash. According to incomplete statistics, no fewer than thirty countries have sent people to bid so far."

Chao Bufan laughed and said, "Old Tang, our great nation of HX knows that I have so many treasures. There's no reason why we shouldn't take action, right? As the country's lobbyists, tell us what your instructions are."

Upon hearing this, Lao Tang and the others exchanged a knowing smile. The old leader then said, "The government certainly won't sit idly by. On the one hand, the Ministry of Finance has already allocated a batch of funds for bidding; on the other hand, the higher-ups are suggesting that some things should not be shown on the market."

"Nonsense, how can we auction it off if we don't show up? Do you think the higher-ups want to fund it and buy it from me privately?"

Old Tang smiled slightly and said, "That's basically the gist of it. The Ministry of Finance has specifically set aside 10 billion yuan to buy some things from you. Bufan, anyway, these things were all acquired by chance, so just stop when you've got what you need. What do you need so much money for? Can you even spend it all?"

Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan smiled slightly and said, "You don't need to worry about that. Whether I can spend it all or not is my personal business. Old Tang, old chief, I know what you mean even if you don't say it. How about this? All the treasures of our HX will be returned to the country, and I will not take a single penny. As for the items from other countries, I will put them up for auction."

Old Tang chuckled and said, "That's good! That's good!" This way, they can report back to their superiors.

Fangfang, who had been feeling out of the loop, finally seized the opportunity to speak up: "Dad, are you talking about those antique pictures that have been all over the internet?"

The old leader nodded and said, "Isn't that right?"

Fangfang was immediately alarmed. Old Tang spoke up, "We've already increased security here, and Old He and his team have also brought in a group of people to maintain order and security in this area. Tomorrow's auction will be fine if nothing unexpected happens, but if something does, I think that's something no one wants to see. I've heard that some countries have secretly sent assassins here, their purpose being to target the holders of these treasures. You understand what I mean, so you absolutely must be extremely careful at tomorrow's auction."

Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan was slightly startled. He hadn't expected that a few pictures would bring him so much trouble. This was indeed unexpected, but he wasn't afraid of anything. This was within his expectations. He nodded and said, "I'm not worried about anything else. My only concern now is that someone might deliberately sabotage the auction tomorrow. So I want to put up warning signs from various countries outside the auction venue, but I don't understand the languages ​​of those countries."
