Who is the swift horse, and who is Bole? His fair-weather friends also understood.
Clearly, the swift horse referred to this exquisite pearl, and Bole could only be referring to him, Ye Feipeng.
Although Ye Feipeng knew that his fair-weather friends privately said that this matter could be accomplished with no relation to him, Ye Feipeng. The quality of the exquisite pearl was there, and any auctioneer or appraiser would recognize the preciousness of this exquisite pearl.
Anyone could recognize this swift horse; Ye Feipeng had merely done what any normal appraiser could do. What kind of discerning eye was that?
What was the connection between someone bringing an exquisite pearl to auction and the reliability of the item being auctioned?
All sorts of comments did not consider Ye Feipeng to be any kind of Bole.
However, no matter how sour these people were, they had not achieved the same results as Ye Feipeng. Therefore, they could only secretly say that Ye Feipeng had gotten lucky, and could not erase Ye Feipeng's achievements.
Even if Ye Feipeng knew these private remarks, he could feel the jealousy and envy from their words and actions. Winning such looks from his peers made Ye Feipeng feel quite proud.
In the past few weeks, Ye Feipeng's mood had indeed been pleasant.
But when he was woken up by the doorbell in the early morning, he was not so pleased.
Ye Feipeng started to go downstairs, intending to see who was so audacious as to ring the doorbell repeatedly early in the morning to wake people up.
Was it a delivery person? A plumber? A food delivery person? Or someone at the wrong address?
No matter who it was, after ringing the doorbell a few times and knocking a few times, they should know that the person inside the villa did not want to see them and should have retreated sensibly.
Now, repeatedly ringing the doorbell had touched Ye Feipeng's bottom line.
He was very angry now.
Full of resentment, he pulled open the large door with great force.
Before opening the door, Ye Feipeng, who was planning to curse loudly or even resort to violence, had his anger instantly replaced by extreme fear the moment he opened the door.
The mouth that was about to curse was instantly sealed shut.
The hand that was about to strike was instantly retracted to its proper position.
The resentful, furious expression instantly froze, then turned into a smiling, fawning expression. However, looking closely, this fawning, smiling expression clearly carried infinite fear.
This was normal.
No matter how much morning grumpiness he had, no matter how much physical strength he possessed, Ye Feipeng, who was a champion in his university's Taekwondo club, no matter how much financial power he had as a second-generation rich kid who could call twenty to thirty people with his phone at any second... he would absolutely not lose his mind and challenge the person he saw at the door.
This was simply because the person he saw at the door was far beyond his expectations!
At the door stood four police officers, their faces serious.
And behind them, a team of soldiers, at least ten strong!
"This... what crime have I committed..."
Ye Feipeng's face turned pale, and he became almost incoherent, his tone already implying he had committed a crime, rather than that he hadn't.
He was so nervous that he was speaking incoherently.
Ye Feipeng could feel that the guns in the hands of the soldiers were definitely not fake, but real!
Even a second-generation rich kid, even the son of a wealthy man, would look like he was about to wet himself when faced with such a scene.
Serious police officers.
Real soldiers with live ammunition.
Coming to his doorbell?
Knocking on his door?
Even criminals didn't receive such terrifying treatment, right?
Why was he now the one enjoying such treatment?
Ye Feipeng had been furious just moments ago, imagining how he would beat up the person making the noise.
Now, he just wanted to play the ostrich and get through today safely.
As for cursing loudly or calling for help... he had never had such thoughts before, never.
Ye Feipeng completely cleared his mind of his previous thoughts.
"Hello, Mr. Ye, we are from the Dragon Country Investigation Bureau."
"There are some matters we would like to understand from you. Would it be convenient for us to come in?"
The Dragon Country Investigation Bureau!
A familiar name.
Hearing the name of the Investigation Bureau, Ye Feipeng's face instantly turned white.
He had heard of the Investigation Bureau's reputation before and knew how serious the cases they intervened in would be.
The Investigation Bureau would not mobilize for anything less than major incidents that threatened the interests of the Dragon Country.
Conversely, if the Investigation Bureau had mobilized, it meant that the incident was so significant that his family could not possibly handle it.
The son of the CEO of a top auction company in a coastal city... such an identity would be completely useless in front of the Investigation Bureau.
"Please come in, please come in."
Thus, Ye Feipeng forced himself to put on a smile and invited the police officers into his home.
Although the Investigation Bureau's tone was very polite, asking if it was convenient for them to come in, using a tone of inquiry.
But Ye Feipeng naturally could not say it was inconvenient. How could he say it was inconvenient given the situation?
The soldiers' guns were not fake!
After letting the police officers in, Ye Feipeng was still lost in thought.
He believed that he could not possibly attract the investigation of the Dragon Country Investigation Bureau, as he had not done anything illegal.
Could it be that his father had done something illegal behind his back?
But they shouldn't have come here.
His father was in another city, in another villa... this detached villa in a high-end residential area was bought by him last year, and it was not the same villa where his father lived.
This...
The police officer sitting opposite Ye Feipeng, seeing Ye Feipeng's pale face, knew that the time was right.
He then directly asked, "Mr. Ye, our Investigation Bureau has only one purpose for coming here."
"Do you recognize this item?"
The officer showed Ye Feipeng a picture on his phone.
The picture was precisely the image of the exquisite pearl on the auction stage.
Ye Feipeng was stunned after looking at it.
"This is the water-repelling bead I auctioned off three weeks ago... oh, no, the exquisite pearl?"
"Officer, you came looking for me because of this matter?"
When Ye Feipeng asked this, he received an affirmative answer.
The officer replied, "Yes."
Ye Feipeng was dumbfounded.
He never dreamed that soldiers would come, that the Dragon Country Investigation Bureau would come, all to investigate this exquisite pearl...
Even if this exquisite pearl was fake, and he had misjudged its authenticity, causing customers to be deceived, it shouldn't warrant such a grand display, right?
