The Chosen System: Counterattack with Husband

After these words were spoken, the box fell into a brief silence for a moment.

Whether it was the four family heads who authorized Xu Yiyu to handle the matter, or David, who originally thought he was in an absolutely active position, they all looked at Xu Yiyu with stunned expressions.

David looked at the Chinese woman who spoke so calmly in disbelief, almost thinking he had heard it wrong.

"What did you say? I don't have the authority to do this? That's ridiculous!"

Hearing Xu Yiyu say this, David finally tore off the last layer of false politeness. His voice suddenly rose and his tone became aggressive.

"It is my freedom to put the things up for auction this time. What right do you, an outsider, have to interfere with my right to dispose of them?!"

Xu Yiyu looked at David's face which turned ugly in an instant, but was not in a hurry to explain immediately.

"I don't know how much you know about China's history, nor do I know how much you know about your own country's history."

Facing the man's aggressiveness, Xu Yiyu was obviously too calm.

"But I am sure that you are quite familiar with the laws of your country. As far as I know, you have never sought help from the police or officials of your country since the day you came into contact with the four family heads. You know the reason why you did this, so I won't point it out."

David's originally confident expression suddenly became stiff when he heard the words "police" and "official". It was unknown what he was thinking about, and his aura quickly weakened.

"You said that the vases belong to you, but if you know a little about Chinese history, you will know that not only do they not belong to you, but even the place where they were previously located is not their true home."

Everyone present knew the origin of the vase.

Both David, the thief who wanted to make a fortune from these stolen cultural relics, and the British Museum, where the vases were originally exhibited, were actually shameless thieves who plundered them.

David gradually shrank back and became timid during Xu Yiyu's powerful speech. He certainly knew that the source of these things was not legitimate, and the money he obtained from these things was also ill-gotten gains. If he was held strictly accountable, not only would the Chinese officials not let him go, but his own motherland Britain would not let him go either.

"Mr. David, let me kindly remind you that you are now in China, not your home country, Britain. According to Chinese law, your behavior of insisting on auctioning the items you know are Chinese cultural relics is considered a crime of reselling cultural relics in my country, and you will be prosecuted and sentenced."

As soon as the word "sentence" came out, David, who had been silent, shuddered immediately, and his lips moved a few times, as if he wanted to retort, but he seemed to have thought of something, and finally did not refute Xu Yiyu's words.

The four family heads had been watching David being educated unilaterally by Chairman Xu, not daring to say a word in defense, but they had some other concerns in their hearts.

Ye Wen hesitated for a while, then cleared his throat and interrupted Xu Yiyu's speech.

"Xu Xiaoyou, it's a good thing that Mr. David is willing to sell the vase. You shouldn't bully him too much. At least he has made some contribution to the return of our Chinese cultural relics."

As a British who could only understand simple Chinese, David did not understand what Ye Wen meant at all. Instead, he looked at this person who seemed to be speaking for him in confusion and became puzzled about his attitude at this time.

Ye Wen's words sounded like he was pleading for the thief, but Xu Yiyu immediately got the deeper meaning in his words.

——The head of the Ye family was reminding her that she could let the Chinese officials deal with him. Because of his previous thefts from museums in Britain, he probably didn't dare to ask the British officials for help.

Chinese characters are profound and extensive.

The head of the Ye family has figured out how to play word games.

"Ahem, what Patriarch Ye said makes sense. After all, you have promoted the process of returning Chinese cultural relics to China. You are a contributor anyway. How about you contact the officials of your country and return the cultural relics in your hands through official channels? This will also make the relationship between China and Britain closer. What do you think?"

Xu Yiyu nodded to Ye Wen, indicating that she also agreed with what he said before, and she also considerately and formally provided David with a solution in British, allowing him to use official power to solve the current predicament.

After listening to Xu Yiyu's "solution", David felt even more desperate to cry.

He stole so many Chinese cultural relics from the British Museum. He certainly could not have contacted his own country, otherwise he would have been walking into a trap.

As for the Chinese officials, he didn't dare to alarm them. The reason why he agreed to put all these things up for auction at this treasure auction was largely because he had signed a contract with these four family heads. They had promised not to let the Chinese upper class handle this matter, so he could safely put so many things in the warehouse designated by the venue for safekeeping.

But now, the pair of vases has been exposed to everyone. Although the four major families have signed a contract with him, the guests attending the auction have not.

Now, if any of the guests posts the photos of the auction items online, he will no longer be able to interfere with the official actions of China in the future, because it has nothing to do with whether the four major families keep it confidential, and he will not be able to hold the four family heads accountable.

"China has been a country of etiquette since ancient times. I think we should welcome foreign friends like you, Mr. David, to make donations and return the money. What do you think?"

Xu Yiyu smiled and praised the foreign man in front of him one compliment after another. Her words were flawless and it was impossible for David to deny or refute them.

After all, this Chinese woman did not make any overt moves to force him, so he couldn't do anything extreme.

"Mr. David, how about this? When I went to the Old Palace Museum a few days ago, I happened to meet a staff member of the Cultural Relics Management Department of the museum. If you want to make a donation or return it, I can help you make a bridge and introduce it. I wonder if you think so?"

Xu Yiyu's eloquent talk was heard by several family heads on the side. Several people who had been in the business world for a long time looked at each other at the same time, and saw the same look in the eyes of their old rivals.

Otherwise, why do we say that all businessmen are dishonest? Originally, the pair of David vases were commissioned by David for auction, but in a few words, Xu Yiyu deceived them into thinking that it was a "donation" to promote closer relations between the two countries! Mr. David was really at a loss!

David swallowed subconsciously, realizing that he was in a difficult situation. After looking at the expressions of the four family heads, he looked at Xu Yiyu, who had been smiling and waiting for his reply, and finally nodded slowly and with great difficulty.

This is probably the only way for him to escape from China unscathed.
