“Hello, is this Little Luo?”

“You must be Director Wang from the Bureau of Cultural Relics, right?” “Indeed! I heard, Little Luo, you have…”

Upon this, Luo Feng already knew why the other party was here. Without making any attempts at concealment, he said, “Yes, we have discovered some cultural relics here. We initially believe that they were acquired through various unfair means when the Japanese came.”

“Aye, those Japanese Devils, such an audacious lot!” Director Wang cursed first before saying, “Of course, there’s a sense of justice to be considered. Even though technically, these items are yours, our bureau has decided that the artifacts taken directly from the museum should be returned to their rightful owner. As for those items that the Japanese Devils took from the tombs, they should be considered your rightful property!”

“That’s what I thought as well!”

Luo Feng had considered such a scenario long before.

After all, these items were initially stolen.

All he did was found them again.

As such, they should be returned to their rightful owner.

“Thank you, Little Luo, I will make sure to report this good deed of yours to the Forbidden City!”

Director Wang was immensely grateful. He did not expect Luo Feng to be so understanding.

Indeed, as for Luo Feng, was he short of money? Of course not.

With a net worth of hundreds of billions, he had no particular interest in collecting artifacts.

His treasure hunting now was merely to unearth more cultural relics for the country.

Leaving some artifacts behind would fill his museum, making it known worldwide. Also, it would be a constant source of income for his descendants.

Even though 100 billion was a substantial amount of money and could generate a significant amount of interest, as more women and children come into Luo Feng’s life, distributing his current wealth equally would eventually drain him dry.

Crucially, releasing these cultural relics would elevate his status in official circles. It would be a significant contribution.

Now, unless it was an artifact he very much desired for his museum, if the authorities wanted it, he would simply give it to them.

And if he needed their assistance, they would certainly not decline.

“You’re welcome, Director Ma. This is the right thing to do!”

Having said this, Luo Feng hung up.

Sitting by a large tree, he began to think.

According to the content in Jiro’s envelope.

It could be seen that there was a large number of Chinese artifacts hidden in a farm under the Japanese’s control.

And it was very likely that no one knew about this. Most of the items displayed in Japan’s Museums were fake. The genuine articles had been privately hoarded by these people, after all.

However, he was now plagued with a different problem. How would he make his way to Japan?

After discovering and barring the Japanese from taking their Tsarist gold, he was more or less blacklisted by their nation. Although it was possible for him to still obtain a visa, once there, how could he avoid their scrutiny?

To be blunt, even if he were to discover the private hoard of artifacts, the chances of him being able to bring it back to China was close to none.

If he needed to handle this matter, Luo Feng would have to seek help from the authorities.

With the assistance of the authorities, many problems could be solved effortlessly.

Our national treasures should rightfully be returned.

At the same time, bad news reached Sakura Country.

They had truly experienced a succession of calamities in the past month. The Emperor was already physically and mentally exhausted.

“I don’t need to be informed about such matters in the future!”

Although those artifacts were taken by their agents, they originally belonged to China.

Now that the evidence was in hand, how could he deny the misdeeds of their ancestors?

Or claim that these artifacts belonged to Sakura Country?

It was one thing if these artifacts had already left China, but since these artifacts were still stored in Changbai Mountain, they were more or less unattainable.

For example, the Russian gold was not stolen from China, but something they had scammed Soviet Russia out of. As such, they could boldly make a claim regarding the gold.

However, for these stolen artifacts that had never even left the borders of China, there was nothing to be said.

“Director Wang, the artifacts are below. After they are transported out, they can be identified. Those stolen from the museum, you can take away. Those dug up from the ancient tombs, I will send to my museum!”

On the morning of the second day, Luo Feng welcomed Director Wang Bo, from the Bureau of Cultural Relics.

He had belonged to the central bureau.

Otherwise, Luo Feng would not have taken their arrival so seriously.

“Little Luo, you truly are a young man of great righteousness!”

Old Wang laughed and said, “In this matter, the officials will not let you down!”

“You flatter me!” Luo Feng chuckled, glanced at the workers who had already gone to move the treasures, and continued, “Director Wang, I have a matter I would like to discuss with you!”

“Go ahead, as long as I can help, I will do my best. If I cannot, I will find someone who can!”

Old Wang confidently patted his chest. He wasn’t stingy about helping someone like Luo Feng.

“I just want to ask, has our government always been looking for lost artifacts abroad?” Luo Feng asked.

“Yes!”

“Which unit is responsible for this?” Luo Feng asked.

“It’s our Bureau of Cultural Relics. Who else could it be!” Old Wang said, “Just a few years ago, for instance, we discovered a Buddha head at an auction in Sakura Country. The item belonged to our country, so we sent people to intervene in the auction, demanding they halt it.. Afterward, we found the owner of the item and bought it directly from them!”
