Chapter 367: We can only buy a few minutes
The other party took Qi Tongwei to look around the collection room full of antiques for a whole afternoon.
Qi Tongwei's gaze moved from one antique to another, and with every additional one he looked at, the sadness in his heart grew a little more.
Those antiques exude an ancient and mysterious atmosphere and should be a proud witness to the cultural heritage of the Xia Kingdom, but now they are illegally collected here.
Qi Tongwei didn't expect that he would see seven or eight antiques that had been missing from the Xia Kingdom for many years just here.
A wave of sadness surged in his heart, and he wondered to himself how many antiques were left out through various illegal channels.
This was like a deep wound, stinging his heart as the captain of the Wolf Warrior Squadron and as a Xia citizen.
The evening glow poured into the room through the window, giving everything a light golden hue.
As usual, Bellamy arranged a group of beautiful women to accompany Qi Tongwei.
Those beauties surrounded Qi Tongwei like gorgeous flowers.
They have bright smiles and graceful figures, but Qi Tongwei knows that behind this seemingly gentle companionship lies strict surveillance.
Bellamy himself looked exhausted, as if he had something urgent and important to deal with.
Qi Tongwei's heart moved, he felt that this might be a good opportunity to obtain more information.
So, he pretended to be drunk, his eyes became a little blurry, his body staggered, and he looked silly after drinking.
He pulled Bellamy's clothes curiously and asked, "Mr. Bellamy, where are you going? You are in such a hurry."
Bellamy looked down at Qi Tongwei, a hint of subtle vigilance flashed in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it.
He raised a faint smile and said, "Mr. Qi, I have to go discuss a business. You must be tired from playing today, so just stay here and enjoy the company of these beauties."
After saying that, Bellamy winked at his men calmly.
The men immediately understood what he meant, and their eyes became even colder.
They secretly adjusted their positions, seemingly casually surrounding Qi Tongwei in the middle, their eyes fixed on Qi Tongwei to ensure that he would not do anything out of line.
Qi Tongwei knew in his heart that he was still under strict surveillance.
But he also knew that Bellamy's departure might bring him some new opportunities.
He looked at Bellamy's receding back, silently thinking about what to do next.
Qi Tongwei knew clearly in his mind that Bellamy had left in such a hurry that it must be related to the antique transaction.
This is a great opportunity to gain in-depth understanding of the operations of the smuggling group. How could he let it go easily?
Then, Qi Tongwei's eyes turned, and with an eager and somewhat flattering look on his face, he said to Bellamy, "Mr. Bellamy, I'll go with you. I'm very curious about your business, and maybe I can help you with something."
When Bellamy heard this, he refused without even thinking.
"Mr. Qi, this is my small business. You just enjoy it here and don't have to worry about me." Although Bellamy's voice was polite, his attitude was firm.
Qi Tongwei was secretly delighted to see Bellamy refused so straightforwardly. This was exactly the effect he wanted.
He immediately pretended to be a little annoyed, his face flushed red like an enraged rooster.
He raised his voice and said loudly, "I don't even care about your shabby antiques. When you have the chance to come to Xia Country, I will show you what a real antique is! I tell you, any one of the antiques in my house can surpass your entire collection."
As Qi Tongwei spoke, he waved his arms and acted arrogantly.
His words stunned everyone present. The beauties looked at each other, not knowing how to react.
Bellamy's men frowned and looked at Qi Tongwei with some dissatisfaction.
As for Bellamy himself, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by disdain.
After Qi Tongwei finished speaking, he walked towards the bedroom cursing.
He deliberately stepped heavily, and every step seemed to be venting his dissatisfaction.
When he reached the bedroom door, he glared at Bellamy and his men again, then slammed the bedroom door shut.
After the door closed, Qi Tongwei immediately became quiet.
He tiptoed to the door, put his ear against it, and listened quietly to the sounds outside.
He knew that his performance would definitely cause reactions from Bellamy and others, and he wanted to get as much information as possible from these reactions.
After hearing Qi Tongwei's arrogant words, Bellamy just squinted his eyes and looked at him, not paying too much attention to Qi Tongwei's performance.
So he just snorted coldly and left in a hurry.
Qi Tongwei looked at Bellamy's receding back and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He had just deliberately angered Bellamy in order to buy himself this precious time.
You know, those beauties before were like a group of omnipresent ghosts, entering and leaving his room at will, which kept Qi Tongwei under close surveillance and he had no chance to do what he wanted.
But he couldn't say anything directly to these beauties. After all, he was now playing the role of a guest entertained by Bellamy, and any unusual behavior might arouse suspicion.
But today is different. After the little conflict just now, Qi Tongwei knew that he could at least buy himself ten minutes.
For him, these ten minutes were like a ray of light in the darkness, extremely precious.
Qi Tongwei did not dare to delay for even a moment, and he quickly took out the communication equipment from his hiding place.
His movements were light, but very fast.
He knew that he had to contact Longshi within ten minutes and pass on all the information he knew at the moment.
While debugging the communication equipment, he quickly organized the information he wanted to convey in his mind.
He wanted to tell Long Shi about the Xia antiques in Bellamy's collection room, and the speculation that Bellamy had just left in a hurry to trade antiques.
These information were like a tangled mess in his mind, but Qi Tongwei quickly sorted them out with the calmness and organization he had acquired from training in the Wolf Warrior Squadron.
At this moment, every passing second seemed to be a wake-up call in Qi Tongwei's heart.
Fine beads of sweat gradually appeared on his forehead.
He was fully aware of his mission. These ten minutes were not only his personal opportunity to obtain and transmit information, but also the key link in the entire plan to destroy this criminal group.
