Chapter 30
Chapter 30. The Rising Storm
"Why? Isn't it just a security case?"

"It's a public security case, but the amount involved is too large, and it may rise to a criminal case."

"Even if it's a criminal case, you can still be released on bail?"

"Of course, it's okay under normal circumstances, but the news I got is that the nature of the case is still being determined, and during this period, the person involved needs to implement the detention period,"

"After the qualitative, whether it is bail or suspension of execution, the application can be submitted,"

"Sorry Xinguan, I can't help you this time..."

After a brief conversation, the other party quickly hung up.

Xin Ran's face was ashen, and he was silent.

After a while, several more calls came in.

This time, he deliberately lowered his voice, as if he didn't want others to hear him.

But just looking at his increasingly ugly face and the unhappiness he tried to suppress in his deep voice, one can guess that things are not going well.

Xiao Ning and Shen Yicheng looked at each other without saying a word.

Although Hu Yitang didn't know the inside story in advance, but he experienced a lot of practice when he was young, he was so shrewd, how could he not see how strange it was?

"Xinguan, what's going on!"

After answering the last call, Hu Yitang immediately said in a deep voice.

Xin Ran's face sank like water, she paused, and shook her head:

"Mr. Hu, I won't hide it from you until now. Xiao Ren's matter... I'm afraid it's not easy,"

"When he entered the police station, he was probably being tricked!"

"what?"

Hu Yitang was taken aback.

Xiao Ning on the side immediately interjected:

"But Xinguan, you just didn't..."

"That's right. I just contacted a few friends from the public security system and asked them to help me find out and apply for bail, but to no avail,"

"Also...although I didn't say it clearly, but I heard what they said. Someone above should be suppressing this matter, and they can't do anything about it."

While speaking, Xin Ran calmed down and tried hard to keep her mind calm.

But in the eyes of others, it is even more incredible.

Especially Xiao Ning, who has worked with Xin Ran for many years, and has a deep understanding of the extensive contacts of this deputy curator.

Regardless of the cultural relics system, it sounds unpopular, but because the collection industry has become increasingly prosperous in recent years, Xin Ran is recognized as a strong contender for the next city museum owner.

There are quite a lot of relationships accumulated over the years.

But even so, after inquiring from many parties... unexpectedly returned without success?

Didn't even ask for specifics.

This - is too abnormal!

"Who the hell? Why?"

After a short shock, Hu Yitang quickly calmed down.

"I don't know yet." Xin Ran shook her head.

Having said that, his expression was extremely dignified.

When Mr. Hu saw it, he immediately understood:
"At this time... Do you suspect it has something to do with the August Osmanthus Cup?"

"good,"

Xin Ran solemnly said:

"According to the information we got, before Xiao Ren was set up, he happened to find the August Osmanthus cup, and the people who participated in the set up were people from the Songjiaqiao market,"

"You also know that in the antique business, buy low and sell high, buy high and sell low, if you don't pay attention to attract people's grudges, there are many shady methods,"

"Little Ren is young, so it's inevitable..."

Hu Yitang nodded slightly, naturally no stranger to what Xin Ran said.

But then he stroked his beard again:
"If that's the case, it's not uncommon,"

"But...it doesn't make sense. Even we didn't recognize that set of Twelve Flower God Cups. It's Xiaoyou Ren. Could it be that other than him, there are people in the Songjiaqiao Market who have such eyesight?"

"Also, even if they recognize it, why don't they use more direct means?"

"I'm also surprised that this kind of behavior doesn't make sense. Besides... ordinary people shouldn't have such a lot of energy."

silence.

The so-called concern is chaos, Xin Ran and Mr. Hu have been busy with those porcelains for nearly two months.

When a mistake is made, it is naturally associated with the August Osmanthus Cup.

More than that, they were more worried about the exchange of cultural relics.

If the matter is leaked and used by people with ulterior motives, it may fall short, and even the April Peony Cup will not come back.

That would be a pity!

"It doesn't matter, let's save the person first!"

With a snort, Mr. Hu stopped thinking about those unreasonable details and dialed the phone directly:
"Xiao Zhang, help me take over Captain Lu."

Xin Ran who was at the side was refreshed.

Team Lu?

The deputy captain of the Municipal Public Security Brigade, the number two person in the entire system, seems to be surnamed Lu.

After all, it is Mr. Hu, who has accumulated in Jiangning Province for many years, and he is by no means comparable to him!
However, not long after, things progressed once again more difficultly than everyone expected.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Hu, we all have to follow the rules now."

The voice from the other end was polite, but the meaning in it was self-evident.

"Nonsense! Don't I know how to follow the rules?"

Mr. Hu couldn't help but lose his temper:

"I'm just bailing people out first! You tell me how to do it!"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Hu. We have orders from above. The amount involved in this case is too large, so we can't insure it for the time being. Otherwise... can you ask Team Fang?"

"Fang team? Your leader? I don't know him!"

"Well, I'll ask for you, and I'll get back to you when I have any news."

"Hey! Hey-beep-beep-"

Snapped!
Mr. Hu slapped the table angrily:
"It's against the sky! A public security detention is not allowed to guarantor! Is there any law in the eyes of these people! There must be something wrong here!"

Up to now, everyone feels helpless.

Only Xin Ran could barely hold his breath, and thought for a while:

"It's okay, Mr. Hu, I have a few friends who should be able to talk to that square team, I'll get in touch right away!"

Just as I was about to pull out the address book, suddenly——

"No need, Xin Guan, I'm afraid it's useless."

It was Shen Yicheng who had been silent just now who spoke.

Everyone looked at him and saw that his face was gloomy, as if he had been thinking about something before.

"By the way, Mr. Shen, the news I asked you to inquire about before...does it have any clues?"

Xin Ran followed the trend.

Shen Yicheng shook his head.

Unlike Mr. Hu, he was informed by Xin Ran two days ago that he knew about Ren Ping's detention.

Multiple people, after all, multiple paths.

What Xin Ran thought was that Shen Yicheng had been in business for many years, so maybe he could also contribute and get some news.

But now it seems...

"Don't be busy, Xin Guan. Yesterday I asked someone to contact the team, but I couldn't get through. It was said that they were on a business trip."

"I also asked someone at the police station, but unfortunately...the water was not poured in, and there was no news at all. It stands to reason that it would not be like this."

Xin Ran was taken aback:
"what do you mean?"

"I think we guessed wrong. The other party may not even know what the August Osmanthus Cup is. Their goal is Ren Ping!"

A word to awaken the dreamer.

Xin Ran and Hu Yitang stood up together:
"What enemies does Xiao Ren have?"

"The enemy should not be, but it should be the mortal enemy."

The two looked at each other, not understanding what he meant.

Shen Yicheng paused:

"Sorry, for a while, I can't be sure,"

"How about it...Xinguan, Mr. Hu, I'll find a friend to confirm. He has a lot of news and connections, so he might be able to help,"

"The two of you are looking for other ways here. If there is any news, we will contact you again?"

The two fell silent, knowing that Shen Yicheng must have something inconvenient to say.

It is not surprising that there are many secrets in business.

There was nothing to care about at this time.

After a while, Qi Qi nodded:

"Okay! Just do it!"

"Thank you, Mr. Shen!"

"Multi-pronged approach is fine, I want to see who is behind the scenes!"

Leaving the city museum in a hurry, Shen Yicheng did not return to Yichengxuan, but drove to the west of Nanling City.

Along the way, thoughts were running through my mind.

This matter, Xin Ran and Mr. Hu immediately thought of the August Osmanthus Cup. No wonder, it was such a coincidence at this juncture.

But he is different after all, the more he knows about Ren Ping's situation, the more he has a premonition that someone is secretly plotting against the Ren family!
Not sure, but very likely!
Everything, wait to ask another person to know.

Driving all the way, Shen Yicheng soon arrived at an antique shop with red bricks and green tiles in the downtown area in the west of the city. There were five gilt characters on the plaque:

Yousheng Auction House.

The spring rain was pattering, Shen Yicheng didn't care about opening an umbrella, got out of the car and went straight in.

What he didn't notice was that at the same time he went in.

Across the street, next to another off-road vehicle, a middle-aged man was holding an umbrella and silently looking at You Shengxing, who occupied the entire three-story shop along the street.

Muttering in a low voice:

"Miss is right, that kid has a bit of background, there are so many people helping him..."
