Chapter 641 - 641: Indeed, It Was Mr. Wu
“What? It’s already been put to use?”
Jardins was taken aback, unable to comprehend what could have possibly occurred in the short time she had been away.
Luo Feng had no intention of elaborating. All he said was, “Of course, you’ve been a great help this time. There’s not much else to do now, you should return and rest.”
After speaking, Luo Feng firmly escorted Jardins out. Given that she already had her own room, he had no concerns about her ending up on the street.
Elsewhere, after leaving, Liu Jian was lost in thought, the voice from the phone call echoing in his mind. He was trying to determine whether this voice was the same as the one he had previously heard on television.
The distinction between a phone call and a television broadcast was significant, and at present, Liu Jian was incapable of identifying any similarities. Even after returning to their hotel and mulling over the voice, it took a sharp slap from his accomplice to snap him back to reality.
“What’s wrong with you? It’s one thing to fail in stealing back the artifact, but why are you so out of it? Did you get cursed over there or something?”
His partner grumbled, vexed, but Liu Jian remained silent. When his partner was on the brink of genuine anger, Liu Jian finally spoke up:
“What if I told you that I just had a phone call with Mr. Wu, would you believe
Upon hearing the name ‘Mr. Wu’, his partner was visibly startled, then asked nervously, “The Mr. Wu you’re referring to, is it the same Mr. Wu we know?”
“Yes, and Mr. Wu said on the phone that he would give a thumbs-up on tonight’s live news broadcast.”
Upon hearing this, his partner promptly switched on the hotel room’s TV. This was a matter of utmost importance, even overshadowing their plan to acquire the Sheep Head.
After all, they were just ordinary people. Even if they managed to secure the Sheep Head, getting it to Mr. Wu would be a major challenge.
There were countless antiquities, but the chance to meet Mr. Wu was something they had never before encountered.
“Hurry up, I want to see the live broadcast right now!”
As he heard his partner’s complaints, Liu Jian found himself pondering Luo Feng’s identity.
If Luo Feng could directly communicate with Mr. Wu, who could he be?
What brought him to America?
Did everything he did represent Mr. Wu’s intentions?
The more Liu Jian thought, the more his mind whirled. Despite feeling toyed with by Luo Feng, he considered it a plausible outcome.
Given the time difference with Beijing, it was only when late evening arrived in Beijing that a familiar voice finally emerged from the TV.
Initially, the broadcast covered a variety of other news stories, and there was no sign of Mr. Wu. They had never before felt such an intense urge to watch the news.
With their gaze fixed on the screen, they didn’t want to miss a single detail.
At that moment, they were like fans fervently chasing their idol, terrified of missing any glimpse of Mr. Wu’s appearance.
As twenty minutes ticked away, they had never felt time pass so slowly. Even after all this time, Mr. Wu had not yet appeared on the TV, and Liu Jian found himself entertaining wild thoughts.
Could it be that the man he spoke to was not Mr. Wu after all? Had Luo Feng fooled him yet again?
The more Liu Jian thought, the more agitated he became.
Just as he was about to hurl the remote control in frustration, Mr. Wu finally appeared on screen!
The speech that Mr. Wu delivered was not particularly remarkable; it was filled with commonplace platitudes.
However, they were not interested in the content of the speech; their eyes were fixed on Mr. Wu’s hands.
Finally, as Mr. Wu’s speech concluded and the camera was about to cut away, they saw Mr. Wu raise his index finger towards the camera!
It was indeed Mr. Wu!
Overcome with joy, they leapt up in excitement.
Mr. Wu, a man they had only dreamed of meeting!
“It truly was Mr. Wu, it really was him!”
Liu Jian immediately began to recall the antiques he had previously acquired. They had been in the business of collecting overseas antiquities for many years.
Now, if he could meet Mr. Wu through Luo Feng, wouldn’t all the antiques he had collected over the years be given a purpose?
“I must find Luo Feng as soon as possible!”
“Luo Feng knows Mr. Wu, he must be someone significant!”
“I must find him quickly and ask him to present all the antiques I’ve collected to Mr.. Wu!”
