Just like that, Locke fell into their line of sight. After digging deeper, they finally confirmed that this was the big boss behind the scenes they had been tracking for a long time. His code name was “Poison Python”.
At this moment, the lights in the hall flickered.
The people who had been standing in the middle of the hall retreated to the round tables around them and took their seats, vacating the dance floor in the middle.
The lights dimmed slightly, and then two pillars of light hit the middle. The male and female emcees walked to the middle and announced the official start of the charity auction banquet in fluent English and French. They even introduced the theme of this charity banquet.
The Locke Corporation held a large-scale charity auction at the end of every year. The theme every year was different. Last year, it was to raise money for HIV-infected patients all over the world, and this year, the theme was to raise education and medical funds for children in Africa.
Nangong Jue sat at the table and narrowed his eyes slightly. He couldn’t help but sneer in his heart. What a nice way to put it. He was just going to those underdeveloped countries and regions under the guise of accepting the grat.i.tude of the locals while secretly hunting the local residents…
The main source of wealth in the Locke Financial Group’s underground kingdom was not drugs, guns, and ammunition, but live organs.
In those chaotic areas, there was no way to investigate the deaths and disappearances of people. Then, they would dig out the organs of these people and sell them to those who needed them at a high price. It could be said to be a huge profit.
In addition, much evidence proved that 80% of the human trafficking and theft cases in the world were inseparable from the Locke Consortium.
Thinking of this, Nangong Jue wished he could blow up that b.a.s.t.a.r.d’s head now.
However, he could not because he had to eliminate the root of the problem. He had to completely eliminate this huge corporation.
Today was a good opportunity because Locke’s capable subordinates would all be present at every auction.
At this moment, the two emcees on the dance floor had already started to joke around, making everyone laugh. However, they quickly returned to the main topic, which was the charity auction.
However, before they started, there was still a performance. They invited a relatively famous band up. After performing for a while, the charity auction began.
The items auctioned were all donated by various philanthropists. There were paintings, antiques, and some celebrity’s belongings. For example, a guitar donated by the lead singer of the band just now and a brooch donated by an international movie star…
Nangong Jue flipped through the alb.u.m. There was nothing special about it. However, when he flipped to the last page, he was stunned.
It was a blue and white porcelain that someone had donated.
Although it was just a photo, Nangong Jue clearly remembered that the Xiling Museum had been robbed two years ago. However, because the police were quick, the case was quickly solved and most of the items were recovered. However, two of the blue and white porcelain pieces were missing.
He had taken a closer look at it at that time. One of them was very similar to this one.
Hence, he raised his hand calmly and took a photo with the miniature camera on his cufflinks before sending it to Hao Kai.
At this moment, the first item, an internationally famous artist’s painting, began to be auctioned.
After this painting was bought by a rich Arabian man at a price 20 times higher, Hao Kai’s voice sounded.. “Brother Jue, according to the comparison of the photos, the similarity is more than 80%…”
