Chapter 245: Chapter 245: Remarrying Again

The scene suddenly became abuzz, with all eyes focused on the auction stage.

No one had ever thought that the white jade Guanyin offered by the Zhao Family was fake.

After all, they were a super-elite family from the imperial capital; for whatever reason, their status would plummet after this auction.

Zhao Hai’s face darkened, his gaze poisonous as he stared deathly at Chen Yu. By now, there was nothing he could do but have the white jade Guanyin removed from the premises.

The host hurriedly tried to smooth things over onstage.

“Ladies and gentlemen, what just occurred was merely an accident. Our investigation indicates that this white jade Guanyin might have been the work of a master forger. As such, it wasn’t detected immediately, and we ask for your understanding!”

After sincerely explaining, the host had several treasures brought up onto the stage.

This time it seemed the Zhao Family was desperate; the eight treasures they presented were all of high grade and authentically aged.

The moment they were displayed, everyone became excited and quickly forgot about the white jade Guanyin.

While the crowd was busy bidding, Chen Yu had already left the venue quietly, and the long case he had left there was now nowhere to be seen.

“Attention, all aboard! You are now surrounded. Exit the cabin immediately!”

The sudden shout startled everyone in the cabin.

“What’s going on? We’re in international waters; how can someone just surround us for no reason?”

“Could it be that there’s something illicit hidden aboard?”

…

While everyone was buzzing with speculation, Zhou Shengtao, accompanied by a large number of officials, stormed into the cabin and seized all the treasures that were being auctioned.

Just moments before, Chen Yu had already handed over the scepter to Zhou Shengtao.

After verifying its authenticity, Zhou Shengtao immediately convicted the Zhao Family and boarded the ship with his team.

Zhao Hai didn’t know who had it in for him until the moment he was apprehended.

However, because of the white jade Guanyin incident, Zhao Hai bore a grudge against Chen Yu from then on.

After the entire cruise ship was seized, the guests who had come for the banquet started to leave.

Most of them had diplomatic immunity, so Zhou Shengtao couldn’t really do much to them, besides, they were only invited to attend the banquet.

Arresting them could have affected international relations.

Nonetheless, these people didn’t go far; after circling around, they approached the vessel where Chen Yu was.

When leaving, they specifically left a small yacht for Chen Yu’s family to return to land.

“Mr. Chen, why did you leave so quickly? I still have something to discuss with you!”

Katherine chased after him in a speedboat, hurrying along.

Chen Yu frowned slightly, “Is there some kind of emergency?”

Katherine smiled sheepishly and then pulled out an invitation from her person.

“Mr. Chen, the last shipment you sent to William’s family was very well received; Victor has asked me to inquire if you could possibly develop some new products based on that shipment. William’s family would be willing to purchase the entire order!”

Chen Yu was somewhat surprised. The ready-to-eat dishes and semi-finished products he made were almost all Chinese cuisine. He had originally thought that these items wouldn’t take off in the Western world, but to his surprise, they were actually very popular.

“Many new products are still in development, and it will take at least two months for delivery. However, Western eating habits seem to be different from the East, so why are these dishes…”
