Chen Rui always felt that there was a huge conspiracy hidden in He Xiaohe.

For example, this kid's father has deceived so many people in China, so many people in China must be looking for him.

But he still dared to show his face in the United States, and he even set up an auction platform.

If he is so arrogant, he must have someone behind him.

After considering that Yang Qianshan had also told himself that He Xiaohe's father, He Fan, had teamed up with others to harm many people.

So there must be someone behind He Fan.

Thinking about it this way, the person behind He Xiaohe might be the same person behind his father.

Because of this, Chen Rui resisted and did not tie up He Xiaohe in the car.

He wanted to see what this guy did to create this auction platform.

Karen probably guessed what he was thinking and didn't say much.

Just like this, we drove back to Irvine from Los Angeles in silence.

"Finally back!"

After opening the door and entering the store, Karen cheered, and Chen Rui rarely relaxed.

Although he has only lived here for a few months, he has a different feeling for this house.

And this time was different from usual. Since he and Karen had broken through the window paper, he naturally no longer had to live downstairs.

Maybe it’s because I’ve experienced a series of ‘excitements’ in San Francisco these past few days.

After returning home, Karen, who had always been tense, relaxed significantly.

First, he invited Chen Rui to play a doubles game to celebrate getting home safely.

Chen Rui's tense mood finally relaxed.

After taking a shower, the two of them came downstairs.

Chen Rui carefully unloaded the treasures he brought back from San Francisco from the secret compartment under the car.

First there were two Buddhist statues from Japan, and then there was the dismantled money tree.

There is no way this bronze money tree is already two meters high, so we can only disassemble it, which will make it easier to transport and store.

Then there is the little rhinoceros statue, plus the copybook copied by Mi Fu from Wang Xizhi.

As for Zhang Daqian's paintings, they don't seem so important in front of these national treasures.

But now, what troubles Chen Rui the most is how to preserve these treasures.

You must know that these things are valuable treasures.

And he and Karen often go out to hunt for treasures, so he really wouldn't feel at ease if it was just left in the store like this.

After all, the security situation in Los Angeles has not been very peaceful recently.

He was very afraid that if one day they went out, his old place would be ruined.

"How about we find a bank and rent a safe?"

Chen Rui looked at several treasures placed on the ground, then turned to look at Karen and said.

Karen suddenly burst into laughter.

"What are you thinking? Do you think banks are safe? Look at so many bankrupt banks now?"

"The current U.S. banking industry is a game where the big fish eats the small fish."

Chen Rui knew that Karen was talking about the recent bankruptcies in a row.

A few days ago, Karen reminded him to take out all the money and don't put it in the bank.

He also withdrew part of it, but at least half was left in the bank.

Because it is really unsafe to leave so much cash at home.

How could he not know how screwed up the Bank of the United States is now?

But he really felt uneasy leaving so many treasures at home.

"Ha, leave this matter to me. Hold these things and follow me."

Karen waved to him, and Chen Rui found a trolley and moved several tightly wrapped treasures to the trolley.

Following Karen, he went directly to the third floor. Karen took him to the big bed in the bedroom.

On the wall next to the big bed, a painting was opened, and a combination lock was revealed behind it.

In front of him, Karen entered the password.

Then he pushed hard, and a secret door appeared on the wall in front of him.

Pushing open the secret door and walking in, there turned out to be a secret room.

Chen Rui couldn't help but be stunned, while Karen winked at him with a proud face.

"Just put it here, I guarantee these babies will be safe."

Chen Rui entered and took a look. Not to mention the secret room, it was about fifty square meters.

The decoration is quite unique, with special ventilation and dehumidification devices.

There are rows of shelves against the wall.

There are various ornaments on it, some of which are antiques. This is probably where Karen usually keeps his valuables.

The two of them put the antiques here.

As for the paintings and the emerald, they were specially placed in a safe inside.

"Richie, how are you going to deal with this He Xiaohe?"

After placing those treasures and walking from the safe to the downstairs restaurant, Karen suddenly asked.

Karen was present when Chen Rui and Yang Shande were trading before.

Later, they both slept together, and Chen Rui told Karen all about his family's experiences.

Karen also knew that Chen Rui would not let He Xiaohe go, but she did not want him to act recklessly.

"I want to see what's going on with his auction website first. Is there anyone else involved behind the scenes?"

"Then what?"

"Then... I took this opportunity to get close to him, gain his trust, and then find an opportunity to tie him up..."

When Chen Rui said this, his eyes flashed with a sharp light.

There is no need to talk about law and morality when dealing with such a guy.

Being kind to your enemies will only harm yourself.

"I want to find his father through him, and through his father, I want to find out who killed my father?"

"I still have to find a way to recover all the losses my family has suffered..."

Chen Rui also knew that it was dangerous to do so, but he was forced to do nothing.

Because he knows that if he wants revenge, he can only rely on himself!

Karen nodded: "I'm afraid this will be difficult."

Chen Rui glanced at her: "You must do it even in difficult circumstances, otherwise these bad guys will always be at large."

"Take the hard-earned money of us victims and go spend the night!"

When he said this, Karen nodded firmly.

"Yes, we cannot let these bad guys get away with it. They must be held accountable for their actions."

"I support you!"

After hearing this, Chen Rui couldn't help but be slightly moved, reaching out and holding Karen's hand tightly...

Three days later, Chen Rui took Karen to a mansion in Santa Monica.

This villa is relatively close to the mansion they attended the last family auction.

They are all located on the hillside behind the beach, but this mansion is larger and the location is more private.

They were driving a rented Mercedes-Benz, and when they arrived, the yard was already filled with luxury cars.

Before the two got out of the car, they each put on their masks.

Today's party is a masquerade party held by He Xiaohe, as stated on the invitation sent to them.

Each participant must prepare a mask of his or her own preference.

For some special reasons, no one can reveal their true colors.

Chen Rui put on his American captain's hood and then put on a top hat.

And Karen is wearing a Catwoman mask.

The two got out of the car, came to the villa, took out their electronic invitations, and opened the door.
