In fact, according to Qin Feng's character, when performing tasks, he usually "takes a dim view of life and death, and will do it if he doesn't accept it." He is never timid.
But this mission is different from previous ones.
Because the luxury cruise ship has now sailed into the high seas, Qin Feng and Ji Qingyue cannot expose the identities of Chinese soldiers, otherwise it will easily cause disputes and intensify international conflicts.
Moreover, in order to avoid alerting the enemy, there were only two people on this mission, Qin Feng and Ji Qingyue, so they were weak without any comrades or troops to support them.
Furthermore, there are many pirates and desperadoes on the high seas. These are uncertain factors and may lead to a war.
In general, Qin Feng and Ji Qingyue must act cautiously and not act rashly.
At this moment, James stood on the stage with a smile on his face, holding a microphone, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to my auction. I know that everyone is running for China's national treasure. The cultural relic comes from the Sun Bird Gold Foil, so without further ado, let’s get straight to the point!”
James did not whet everyone's appetite, clapped his hands, and a tall girl walked onto the center of the stage holding a treasure box.
The treasure box was placed on the table, and James opened the treasure box himself. A shining gold instrument was exposed in the air and appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
This was Qin Feng's first time seeing one of China's top ten national treasures with his own eyes, and he felt very shocked.
The sun bird gold foil is round in shape and the body is extremely thin. The pattern is carved using a hollow method, showing twelve rotating tooth-like lights. The outer pattern surrounds the inner pattern and is composed of four identical divine birds flying counterclockwise.
This is one of the symbols of Chinese cultural heritage, and its significance and value are greater than the twelve zodiac bronze heads of the Old Summer Palace.
Qin Feng and Ji Qingyue's mission is to bring this national treasure cultural relic safely back to China.
"Wait, something doesn't seem right!"
At this moment, Qin Feng noticed something strange around him.
"Qin Feng, what did you find?" Ji Qingyue looked at Qin Feng's frown and asked hurriedly.
Qin Feng said close to Ji Qingyue's ear: "Logically speaking, everyone attending the auction is here for the Sun Bird gold foil. But if you look around, everyone's expressions have hardly changed. They seem to be interested in There must be something wrong with the lack of interest in our national treasure-level cultural relics!”
Ji Qingyue quickly looked around secretly, and couldn't help but panic. She found that Qin Feng was right. The people participating in the auction had very calm expressions and seemed to have no interest in the Sun Bird Gold Foil.
While Qin Feng and Ji Qingyue were deep in thought, James on the stage officially started the auction.
"Dear guests, this treasure is China's national treasure-level cultural relic, the Sun Bird Gold Foil. I don't need to elaborate on its collection value and significance. I believe everyone knows it."
"Next, the auction will begin, with a starting price of 300 million US dollars!"
When James called out the starting price, the bidding started, but a strange scene happened. There were more than a hundred people in the audience, but no one participated in the bidding, and the entire venue was silent.
A thin layer of sweat broke out on Ji Qingyue's forehead, seeing that there was indeed something wrong with this auction.
"Qin Feng, the atmosphere is not right now, what should we do?"
"We can only wait and see what happens."
Because no one present was bidding, Qin Feng and Ji Qingyue naturally did not dare to bid rashly.
Soon, a minute passed, and the entire venue remained silent, with no one bidding.
Obviously, there is a scam!
Qin Feng and Ji Qingyue held hands tightly, and both of them were on alert.
One hand of Ji Qingyue touched the pistol hidden in her skirt, then she leaned into Qin Feng's ear and said seriously: "The situation is not good, this operation may have been exposed, let's find a way to withdraw. "
"Gan, what should I do with the national treasures and cultural relics?"
"Qin Feng, have you forgotten? The leader said that preserving life is the most important thing!"
"Sister, are you kidding me? We are on the high seas now, where should we evacuate?"
At this time, James smiled and said loudly: "Since no one bids for it, it is a pity that this national treasure of China has not been auctioned."
"Unsuccessful auction" means that the starting price of the auction item is set too high, resulting in no one participating in the bidding, and ultimately the item cannot be auctioned.
However, the starting price set by James is only 100 million U.S. dollars, and the Sun Bird Gold Foil is one of the top ten national treasures in China, worth at least 1 billion. Therefore, according to common sense, it is impossible for the auction to fail. Everyone You should be scrambling to outcry and bid.
Qin Feng also felt that something was wrong, but now the cruise ship was sailing in the high seas, surrounded by the vast ocean, and he and Ji Qingyue had no way to retreat.
At this time, James's smile gradually turned cunning, and he continued: "Dear friends, since the Sun Bird gold foil failed to sell, it means that it is of little value, so I will simply throw this Chinese national treasure into the In the sea!”
Qin Feng and Ji Qingyue were both shocked. It seemed that James had already planned to throw the Sun Bird gold foil into the sea.
Obviously, this is a scam targeting Qin Feng and Ji Qingyue. In other words, it is a scam targeting the Dragon Soul Group!
In desperation, Ji Qingyue stood up suddenly, took out her pistol and aimed it at James on the stage.
The incident happened suddenly and the atmosphere became tense.
More than a hundred people participating in the auction also took out pistols from their pockets and pointed their guns at Ji Qingyue and Qin Feng.
Sure enough, this is a trap!
In fact, Qin Feng and Ji Qingyue's identities were already exposed when they boarded the ship.
Because all the guests on this cruise ship are actually James's people, only Qin Feng and Ji Qingyue are outsiders!
James laughed wildly, his eyes locked on Ji Qingyue and Qin Feng, and he said coldly: "You two, your disguise skills are pretty good, but no matter how you disguise yourself, I know you are Chinese!"
Although the current situation is extremely unfavorable to Qin Feng and Ji Qingyue, Qin Feng remained very calm from beginning to end. Even when more than a hundred people pointed guns at him, Qin Feng still sat on the chair with his legs crossed and a look on his face. so easy.
This is the courage of a king. Even if he is in danger, Qin Feng firmly believes that he can turn things around.
However, Ji Qingyue was a little flustered, because the enemy had been prepared, and she and Qin Feng were now in a passive situation, and they were outnumbered.
"Who are you?" Ji Qingyue glared at James on the stage and asked in fluent English.
James suddenly raised his hand, tore off the human face mask, revealing a face covered with scars, and sneered at Ji Qingyue: "Madam, we are from the Killer League!"
