Found 100 Million In My Rented Apartment

“Other than the royal family, the Sun Never Sets Empire also has four major duke families. Did you know that?” Kalina asked.

Ye Feng nodded before she continued. “Among the four duke families, there is one called the Devonshire Family.”

“Their family’s connections are relatively wild.”

“Although it is one of the four major duke families in the Sun Never Sets Empire other than the royal family, the family’s businesses range from smuggling to firearms to drugs… It can be said to be all-encompassing!”

“This family is despised by the upper class of the Sun Never Sets Empire, or rather, by those who know the truth.”

“Especially for royal agents like us, we regard them as scum and shame among the nobles of the Empire!”

“…”

Ye Feng could basically tell the message from this long story. “Your superior is colluding with this Devonshire family?”

Kalina’s eyes flashed with hatred. She gritted her teeth again and said, “Yes!”

“That shameless scum. When he was with us, he criticized the Devonshire family more than once and treated them as a negative example! He has always been so sanctimonious…”

“But I didn’t expect that he would actually get together with the heir of the Devonshire family in private. He even did some shocking deals with that group of people…”

“…”

“You should also know that something happened to the Jerry Burrows family in the Sun Never Sets Empire. You have heard that countless collections of the Jerry Burrows family have been circulated or scattered allover the place, right?”

Ye Feng did not expect that she would suddenly change the topic and talk about something that was related to him.

He only hesitated for a moment before nodding. “I’ve heard of it.”

Kalina did not seem to think much about it and continued, “After this happened, the imperial secret service organization of the Sun Never Sets Empire also took it very seriously.”

“Almost every team in the Royal Special Agent Organization received a mission immediately. They were tasked with maintaining the stability of the Sun Never Sets Empire, tracking down the movements of some precious collections, or taking the opportunity to capture some heinous criminals…”

“The team I belonged to at that time was arranged by the imperial agents of the Sun Never Sets Empire. Together with the other two teams, we were responsible for tracking the movements of some of the more expensive collections.”

“And I happen to be in charge of tracking down a very expensive antique — the self-portrait of William Hogarth, the father of painting in the Sun Never Sets Empire!”

“…”

Ye Feng listened to her explanation and casually searched on his phone.

Soon, some information appeared.

William Hogarth was a member of the Royal Academy of Arts and Crafts in the Sun Never Sets Empire. He was a famous painter, woodcutter, satirist, and pioneer of European comic strips in the 18th century. His works ranged from excellent realistic portraits to comic series. Many of his works often satirized and ridiculed the politics and customs of the time. Later, this style was called the “Hogarth Style,” and he was also known as the “Father of Painting in the Sun Never Sets Empire.”

The self-portrait was extremely rare and unique, and it was worth a lot in the Western collection market.

The current market valuation was about 30 million dollars, which was equivalent to about 220 million yuan!

“After two consecutive days of sleepless investigation, I found out that the self-portrait of William Hogarth, the father of painting in the Sun Never Sets Empire, was in the hands of a black market smuggler. I spent a lot of effort to get it from that black market smuggler. However, I didn’t expect that not long after I handed it over to my superior and received praise from him, I would accidentally hear that it appeared on the list of items that the Devonshire family was about to smuggle out when I was investigating another collection…”

Kalina continued.

And after listening to her explanation, Ye Feng quickly understood the situation.

It turned out that Kalina was previously in charge of investigating the self-portrait of William Hogarth, the father of painting in the Sun Never Sets Empire. After obtaining it with great difficulty, it was discovered that this thing had appeared in the Devonshire family after it was handed over to her trusted superior.

After that, she went to the archives of the Royal Secret Service Organization in private and found that the self-portrait of William Hogarth that she handed over to the organization had been switched.

The self-portrait of William Hogarth that was handed over to the archives of the Royal Secret Service Organization and to be put in the charity auction in the Sun Never Sets Empire was a fake. The fake painting had almost 100% restored details!

Not only that, but the other members of her team had also stolen the precious items that they had recovered.

On the other hand, there were no problems with the other groups’ submissions…

She had started to suspect her boss and she was secretly investigating him.

She did not expect that she would really dig out a shocking secret.

Those acts of switching real items with fake items were really secretly done by her boss!

That boss of hers, in collusion with the heir of the Devonshire family, used the Devonshire family’s channels, 100% restored fakes and then replaced all those recovered valuable collections with imitations…

Later on, because her superior found out about her actions during the investigation, she ended up in this situation today.

“He deliberately set a trap. When I pretended to make a deal to get clues from a smuggler, he colluded with the smuggler, insisting that I secretly wanted to smuggle the valuable antiques that I had found for profit…”

“At that time, those friends who trusted me were all sent far away by him.”

“In addition, that smuggler also insisted that I wanted to entrust him with a precious collection to help smuggle. There’s even a recording as evidence…”

When Kalina mentioned this, she seemed to be a little annoyed. “That disgusting guy is too despicable!”

“He might have found out that I was secretly investigating! He set up a flawless trap early on and even targeted me with bait!”

“Not only have I lost my reputation, but I also have a hard time returning home. I have to be on guard against the danger of being silenced at any time and place…”

Ye Feng did not empathize with Kalina’s emotions.

He only cared about how much information was valuable to him.

After listening to Kalina’s explanation, he pondered for a moment before asking, “Do you have many friends in the Royal Secret Service Organization of the Sun Never Sets Empire?”

“The kind that is very trustworthy.”

“There are three of them. We’ve been through many life-and-death situations together. We’re closer than real sisters!” Kalina said without hesitation, “After they heard about me, they were all prepared to assassinate my superior to avenge me!”

“But I stopped them.”

“They’re currently in the Sun Never Sets Empire, actively looking for flaws in my superior, trying to help me reverse the case…”
