Chapter 706 Completing Tasks and Transactions
After putting away the true form diagram of the Five Stars and Twenty-Eight Constellations, Shi Lei put it into the box prepared for him by Miyamoto Genichi.
Standing up and bowing to Miyamoto Genichi, Shi Lei said, "Thank you, Mr. Miyamoto, for your support. Then, I'll take my leave."
Miyamoto Genichi also stood up, bowed to Shi Lei, and said: "Shi Sang, you're welcome. I also want to thank Shi Sang for allowing this portrait of Wang Youjun to see the light of day again without being covered in dust."
Shi Lei smiled lightly and left Miyamoto Genichi's residence.
In order to prevent any possible accidents, Shi Lei directly found a self-service bank, inserted the black card, entered the password, and then handed the painting directly to the scepter.
Along with the entire box, the five-star and twenty-eight constellations' true shape diagram turned into dots of starlight and disappeared. Everything was exactly the same as the last time Shi Lei handed over the Ming Wanli blue and white porcelain.
Shi Lei did not forget the agreement he made with Heika. He said: "Honorable Scepter, I have finally completed this task. I will not pursue the issue of Liu Jiani's incident. Is it a matter of Heika's planning and arrangement? But you also remember, this There are still ten days left in the quota cycle, so in forty days, I will ask you to retrieve this five-star and twenty-eight constellations’ true form chart written by Wu Daozi.”
Scepter said impatiently: "It's just a painting. Do you really think that the supreme black card will be rare?"
Shi Lei smiled faintly and said: "It's best if you don't care about it."
At this point, the trip to Japan has been successfully concluded. Of course, Shi Lei will not choose to return home immediately. He can finally take Sun Yiyi to have fun without any worries.
The next day, Liu Qian called Shi Lei and asked him why he gave up meeting Miyamoto Genichi. Shi Lei told him that it was because he had received news that there would be a major exhibition at the Osaka Municipal Art Museum next month, the painting of the true form of the five stars and twenty-eight constellations. The picture will most likely be listed by then, so he won't bother Liu Qian and his wife.
After spending two days in Osaka, Shi Lei learned that Liu Qian and his wife's cultural exchange activities were not over yet, so Shi Lei said goodbye to them and said that he was going to Hokkaido.
Liu Qian and his wife took the time to treat Shi Lei to a meal and agreed to see him again when they returned home. Liu Zhen found an opportunity to chat with Shi Lei for a few words.
This was also what Shi Lei expected. Liu Zhen was the only one who knew all the truth, so she would definitely ask this question.
"Did you get it?" Liu Zhen asked.
Shi Lei nodded and said with a smile: "I got it and it has been sent back to the country safely."
Liu Zhen said with a smile: "If you were not the adopted son of Teacher Chen Ya, I would simply suspect that you are a thief who specializes in smuggling cultural relics."
"Ms. Liu thinks highly of me. This time I have someone to help me. Otherwise, this matter wouldn't be so easy."
Liu Zhen understood that this noble man was the one who helped Shi Lei transport the statue of Wang Youjun into Japan and the true figure of the five stars and twenty-eight constellations out of Japan. He was also talking about Liu Zhen.
"Haha, then, I will wait for your good news and wait for you to come up with enough complete evidence to prove that the five-star and twenty-eight constellations true shape map is the authentic work of Wu Daozi?"
Shi Lei nodded and said, "I'll do it as soon as possible, but at this time, there's really no way to give an accurate answer. Please forgive me, Ms. Liu."
Liu Zhen also nodded and asked, "When are you going to reveal the secret of that painting?"
Shi Lei thought for a while and said: "Wait until Miyamoto Genichi announces that he has obtained the portrait of Wang Youjun. Otherwise, I will say it out loud and Miyamoto Xuanichi will burn the painting in anger. I The revelation would be meaningless.”
"What if he keeps it a secret?"
"Then wait until I have enough complete evidence to prove that the true shape diagram of the five stars and twenty-eight constellations was made by Wu Daozi."
Liu Zhen stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, see you at home. I'm waiting for your good news."
"Definitely!" Shi Lei shook hands with Liu Zhen and ended their secret conversation.
Then bidding farewell to Liu Qian and his wife, Shi Lei and Sun Yiyi spent their last night in Osaka and passed by Hokkaido.
After spending two days in Hokkaido, Shi Lei took Sun Yiyi to Tokyo and finally returned home from Tokyo.
After returning to Wudong, Shi Lei got what he wanted from the scepter and handed it to Zhang Xiyue, completing the transaction with the Eye of Dark Night.
Because the last barrier for the Eye of the Dark Night to identify works of art is now Shi Lei, when Shi Lei handed over the image of Dingguang Tathagata, the Eye of the Dark Night did not raise any questions. Of course, there was no need for a receipt or anything like that. When dealing with Hitomi, you must trust them 100%.
When Zhang Xiyue accepted the portrait of Dingguang Tathagata, she said to Shi Lei: "Mr. Shi, then, as we agreed, I will personally return this painting to you one year later today."
Shi Lei shook his head, waved his hands and said, "Impossible!"
Zhang Xiyue didn't react and asked, "Mr. Shi, what do you mean? Our organization will never break its promise."
"I'm not doubting your organization, but I'm just sure that you will never return this painting to me. Once you are away from the Eye of Dark Night, you only have about half a year left, right? Wait until it's time to return the painting At that time, you probably just regarded me as Shi Qiang's friend or boss, and no longer remember the many private contacts between us. Secondly, even if there is any accident that prevents you from leaving as scheduled, Wei Bodhi should be able to handle things independently a long time ago. When the time comes, my contact person will be her, not you."
Zhang Xiyue smiled and said: "I forgot about this incident. I am used to it. Whenever there are similar borrowing and returning incidents, I always use this kind of rhetoric."
"Okay, actually I really hope that we will never have any personal contact in the future, and you can just treat me as Shi Qiang's boss."
Zhang Xiyue understood that this was Shi Lei's blessing to her, wishing her to escape from the Eye of Darkness as expected, so she smiled and said, "Thank you for your kind words."
"Are you going to marry Shi Qiang?" Shi Lei asked smoothly.
Zhang Xiyue smiled and said: "Taitan is a nice person and treats me well. He has mentioned marriage. In fact, I am also willing to marry him, but not now. I have to wait until I completely forget about the organization. After that, continue the next journey with him. Otherwise, if I involve him, I will regret it for the rest of my life."
Shi Lei nodded and said: "He will be very busy next time, and he probably won't have time to worry about getting married with you. Just in time, when he is done with this period of time, it will be almost time for you to leave the Eye of the Night. I hope All the best to you."
Imagination is always beautiful, Shi Lei really doesn't want to have too much contact with the Eye of the Dark Night, but the reality is always very skinny, not to mention that Heika is always creating opportunities for him to come into contact with the Eye of the Dark Night, even if Even the Eye of the Dark Night itself would never let Shi Lei go easily, because Shi Lei was the last step in their appraisal of the artwork.
According to Shi Lei's calculations, this month's quota is less than one million due to his extravagant spending in Japan.
Think about it, two months ago, Shi Lei was still worried about spending one million a month. Now, with only four days left before the settlement day, Shi Lei still had close to one million in hand, but he didn't seem satisfied. Don't panic.
Wei Xingyue told him that she was ready to open a pop-up market in the Magic City at any time, and told Shi Lei not to go back to the Imperial Capital at all. She had already arranged for people to set up the branch in the Magic City, and now she needed a general to take command. There is no doubt that this task falls on Shi Lei.
