Chapter 402 – Prepared to risk everything! (2/2)

“Let me try. I will get it back no matter…”

Han Jing also wants to get it back. To her, this statue is not only a relic worth over 10 million RMB. It also symbolized Senior Xie’s recognition of her. It is the Xie Family’s heirloom, and she remembered what Senior Xie said when he handed the statue to her on her wedding day. Senior Xie had not given the statue to his eldest son or second son but instead gave it to her. From then onwards, Han Jing valued this statue higher than her life and prayed to it every day.

But now, it’s gone.

The statue is now in Japan.

When Han Jing heard what happened, her mind goes blank.

Senior Xie had joined the resistance force against the Japanese because of this Buddha statue and had protected it for decades. But now, Han Jing had lost it and even let the Japanese get it. She felt ashamed to face Senior Xie again!

Half an hour earlier, Han Jing had called Senior Xie after her condition stabilized and told him what happened.

Han Jing hoped Senior Xie will scold her.

But Senior Xie only replied, “I know,” and hangs up.

Han Jing knew Senior Xie is disappointed with her and almost cried. But her husband, Guoliang, Xie Ran, and the rest are around, and she held back her tears. She is the Eldest Sister-in-law of the family, and she cannot shed a tear even if the sky collapsed.

Dong Xuebing knew Madam Han was putting on a brave front and pulled Xie Ran and Xie Jing aside. “Let Madam Han rest.”

Xie Jing nodded and pulled up the Han Jing’s blanket before leaving the ward with Dong Xuebing.

Xie Guobang and Xie Guoliang are no longer outside. Xie Hao’s mother, Ci Lifeng, said they are calling the Museum again to negotiate with them.

Xie Jing also took out her phone to call her agency. She wants to exert pressure on the Museum through the newspaper agency.

Half an hour passed…

One hour passed…

The replies from all sides are the same. The National Museum refused to return the statue, and their reply made all of them mad. The Museum refuses to admit it is a stolen good and made it sound like the statue is from Japan. Their attitude is firm, and even Xin Hua Agency and the Embassy are useless!

That stupid burglar did not know about the statue’s value and sold a Second-Tier cultural relic for 100,000 RMB!

But the Japanese National Museum should know the value of it. They should know this statue has high historical and economic value, and that’s why they refuse to return it!

Damn!

Dong Xuebing is furious!

After negotiating for so long and exerting so much pressure, it is still useless. Everyone knows it is impossible to get it back.

Xie Guobang and Xie Guoliang did not say anything now.

Xie Jing hit her own arms angrily. Are we giving them the Buddha statue just like this?

When Xie Huilan arrived at the hospital, Xie Guobang and the rest had left.

In the ward, Han Jing forced a smile when facing Xie Huilan. She chided her for rushing back. But other than Han Jing, no one in the ward is smiling. The ward felt depressing, and Han Jing held Xie Huilan’s hand with a smile. “I am fine. All of you should go back too. Since the statue is gone, just let it be. Stop thinking about it.”

Xie Huilan narrowed her eyes. “Should I seek help?”

“It’s useless. Just forget about it.” Han Jing replied.

Xie Huilan sighed. She knew it is impossible to get back the statue after it was smuggled to Japan.

Dong Xuebing cannot stand seeing women suffer. When he saw Xie Huilan, Xiao Jing, and Madam Han’s facial expressions, he felt terrible. These Japanese bastards! How dare you all mess with me?! Damn! Since we cannot get it back legally, and they refused to return it… Fine! I will risk my everything to get it back!

Dong Xuebing suppressed his anger and left the hospital without telling anyone. He took out his phone in his car and called Western District State Security Bureau’s Deputy Chief Xu Yan. He skipped the pleasantries and said directly. “Chief Xu, I have an emergency now. Can you help me settle my passport? I need to fly to Japan urgently tonight.”

“Tonight? Is it that urgent?”

“Yes. I still need some Yen.”

Xu Yan paused for around five seconds and replied. “Alright. I will get someone to settle this for you. Wait for my call!”
