Chapter 355 Do you still want to rob openly?
The dragon and lion opened their mouths in astonishment.
It took him a while to come back to his senses.
Filled with curiosity, he patted Qi Tongwei's shoulder vigorously, his eyes gleaming with inquiry, and asked eagerly: "Qi Tongwei, how on earth did you do it? This is simply incredible."
Even professional experts can't find any fault with it.
A smug expression of success appeared on Qi Tongwei's face.
He raised his chin slightly, a wicked smile playing at the corner of his mouth.
That smile showed both confidence in one's abilities and a hint of showing off.
He said slowly, "Didn't I tell you? I can make antiques that are so realistic they're indistinguishable from the real thing."
He paused, his eyes sweeping across the shocked faces of the crowd, and continued, "Judging from the experts' reactions, it seems the antiques I made should be able to pass muster."
When the others heard what Qi Tongwei said, they were stunned.
They surrounded Qi Tongwei, their eyes full of admiration and curiosity.
The water lion's eyes widened like copper bells. He couldn't help but move closer and said in amazement, "Qi Tongwei, your ability is truly amazing."
"We all thought you were just talking, but we didn't expect you to be able to actually make such a convincing fake. Can you please tell us how you did it?"
The Golden Lion also nodded repeatedly.
His eyes showed a kind of admiration for Qi Tongwei's ability, and he said, "Yes, Qi Tongwei. This is not something that ordinary people can do. You must have some special skills or secrets. Don't keep us in suspense, reveal a little to us."
Earth lions and mountain lions also gathered around.
They looked at Qi Tongwei as if they were looking at a mysterious treasure, full of anticipation.
The earth lion scratched his head and said, "Qi Tongwei, if you can teach us a little bit of this skill, it will be much easier for us to carry out our missions in the future."
Qi Tongwei crossed his arms and shook his head mysteriously.
"There's no point in saying more. As long as the mission is successfully completed, that's all that matters."
Although his attitude was somewhat mysterious, everyone's admiration for him remained undiminished.
That night, Qi Tongwei boarded the smuggling group's cargo ship with the fake jade Buddha as planned.
This freighter looks ordinary and belongs to another ferry company. On the surface, it is no different from other freighters.
But as soon as Qi Tongwei got on board, he noticed something strange.
Led by the crew, he walked around the ship and observed seemingly casually.
As he walked, he discovered an extremely hidden entrance. After entering, he found a different world inside.
This is a specially designed mezzanine with a spacious space, which is filled with a variety of smuggled goods, ranging from precious antiques to some prohibited items.
Qi Tongwei was secretly surprised. He feigned surprise and said to the smuggling gang members around him, "You are amazing! You can even deceive the customs."
After hearing what Qi Tongwei said, the member showed a smug smile on his face. He continued walking forward with Qi Tongwei, saying, "Mr. Qi, you don't understand this. This is our trade secret. Moreover, the design of this interlayer is very ingenious and cannot be discovered by ordinary inspection."
As Qi Tongwei listened to his words, he felt more and more that this smuggling group was very powerful and its influence was astonishing.
He saw that the smuggling group members around him were well-trained and acted in an orderly manner, which was obviously carefully planned and organized.
He knew that it would not be an easy task to completely destroy this smuggling group, but his eyes showed firm determination and he must complete this task.
Under the guidance of members of the smuggling group, Qi Tongwei took the jade Buddha directly into their secret area on the freighter.
The area is heavily guarded, and is patrolled by people who appear to be ordinary crew members but are actually thugs from the smuggling gang.
As Qi Tongwei walked, he quietly observed the surrounding environment, silently noting down every detail that might be dangerous or useful.
After entering the secret area, the smuggling group members were very enthusiastic towards Qi Tongwei and treated him like a VIP.
They arranged for Qi Tongwei to sit in a seemingly luxurious room and brought him a seemingly sumptuous meal.
Qi Tongwei knew in his heart that there must be a mystery behind this seeming enthusiasm.
Sure enough, the smuggling gang had already made some moves while preparing the food.
They added a special drug to the food. This drug is colorless and tasteless. Once consumed, it will make people fall asleep in a short period of time.
Their plan was simple: they would throw Qi Tongwei into the sea while he was unconscious, and then steal the jade Buddha without anyone noticing.
When one of the smugglers came in with food, a barely perceptible cunning glint flashed in his eyes.
He placed the food in front of Qi Tongwei with a fake smile on his face: "Mr. Qi, this is the food we carefully prepared for you. Please try it. This is a specialty of our ship."
Qi Tongwei looked at the food in front of him and sneered in his heart, but pretended to be grateful on the surface: "Thank you, it looks delicious."
Just as the smuggler turned around and was about to leave, he deliberately touched the table, pretending to be careless, trying to knock over Qi Tongwei's food, then take the opportunity to take it away and replace it with a piece of food that was not problematic, so as not to arouse Qi Tongwei's suspicion.
However, Qi Tongwei was prepared. His hand reached out as fast as lightning and held the plate firmly.
The smuggler was startled, but still pretended to be calm and said, "Mr. Qi, I'm so sorry."
Qi Tongwei smiled and said, "It's okay, you are too careless."
Afterwards, Qi Tongwei took out some food from his bag. He shook the food in his hand and said with a smile, "I'm a person who, maybe because I've been on land for too long, I'm not very used to the food at sea. I'm more used to eating what I brought with me."
When the smugglers saw Qi Tongwei take out his food, they secretly hated him, but on the surface they smiled and said, "Mr. Qi is really thoughtful."
This was only the first time they took action against Qi Tongwei.
After a while, they came up with a new trick.
A smuggling member pretended to come and bring water to Qi Tongwei. When pouring the water, he deliberately spilled it on Qi Tongwei's bag, wanting to take the opportunity to check whether there was anything else in Qi Tongwei's bag or take his bag away.
Qi Tongwei seemed to see through his thoughts. He quickly picked up his bag and dodged the spilled water. Then he said with a smile, "You spilled the water at a really bad time. Fortunately, my bag didn't get wet."
After a while, they saw that Qi Tongwei had not let up, so they wanted to rob him directly.
