Treasure Hunt all over the World

Chapter 1275 The Treasure of the Bourbon Dynasty

There are more and more onlookers at the entrance of the antique shop, and more and more media reporters have heard the news, and the scene is very lively.

It's a pity that many onlookers and media reporters were not allowed to enter the antique shop in front of them. They could only stand on the street outside, listening to the constant exclamation from inside, and continued to be tormented by curiosity.

Suddenly, three bulletproof Mercedes-Benz SUVs appeared at the corner of the street in front of them, and drove straight to this antique shop along Flanders Avenue.

Seeing these three black bulletproof SUVs, everyone at the scene immediately understood.

There is no doubt that the people sitting in these three bulletproof SUVs must be under that guy Steven.

There is no other reason, because that guy Steven's car is also a black Mercedes-Benz bulletproof SUV, which is exactly the same as these cars!

As everyone expected, when the three bulletproof SUVs stopped in front of the antique shop, it was the armed security personnel headed by Matisse who got out of the cars.

The appearance of Matisse and the others immediately caused a commotion at the scene.

"Wow! These guys are all Steven's personal bodyguards. I'm sure that guy Steven must have found something important in the antique shop, otherwise there wouldn't be such a big scene!"

"I don't know what Steven found? It's so exciting! Obviously, the owner of this antique shop has unfortunately become another unlucky guy who was ransacked by Steven!"

Amidst the discussions, Matisse and the others walked quickly to the door of the antique shop.

But they did not immediately enter the antique shop, but quickly set up a cordon at the entrance of the antique shop, and then Matisse followed Anderson who came out to greet him and entered the antique shop.

As for the other armed security personnel, they all stayed outside, ready to welcome Ye Tian and the others to leave.

After entering the antique shop, Matisse came straight to Ye Tian and whispered to him:

"Steven, except for the two guys who stayed at the hotel, I brought all the other guys. I drove over three Mercedes-Benz bulletproof SUVs. Everyone brought the necessary equipment to deal with any emergencies!"

Of course, Ye Tian understood what Mattis meant by the necessary equipment. Besides weapons and ammunition and Kevlar body armor, what else could there be?

Ye Tian smiled lightly and nodded, then said in a low voice:

"Very well done,

Next, just wait and watch the show with everyone, and then we will leave here and return to the hotel! "

"Okay, Steven, I'll wait and see!"

Matisse nodded excitedly, then stepped aside and began to ask Anderson about the situation here in a low voice.

As soon as he backed away, Gatrink said impatiently:

"Steven, your subordinates have arrived, can you reveal the secrets of this set of antique furniture now? What secrets does this set of antique furniture hide?"

Not only him, who wouldn't want to know the answer to this question? It also includes the father and son of Ghent, who regretted it so much that they would rather die!

"Okay, Gatrink, it's better to be respectful than obedient. I will reveal the hidden secrets of this antique furniture for everyone immediately, otherwise everyone should curse me secretly!"

Ye Tian said jokingly, his eyes flashed with excitement.

"Hahaha"

There was a lot of laughter at the scene.

Amidst the laughter, everyone's eyes had already gathered on the set of antique furniture, and everyone's eyes were full of curiosity and anticipation.

Ye Tian took a step forward, picked up the oil painting from Miró's cubism period on the desk, and handed it to Anderson next to him.

Afterwards, he asked Matisse to hold the desk, and then he stretched out his right hand and gently brushed across the surface of the antique desk, and said aloud:

"Although this is a set of rococo-style antique furniture with a history of more than two hundred years, the production is not very exquisite and the grade is not high. This is a set of mass-produced furniture, not a custom-made product.

It can be seen from this that it is almost impossible for this furniture to be used by the Belgian royal family or a famous nobleman. On this set of rococo antique furniture, we did not see the royal family or noble emblems!

Of course, there is also this possibility. This is the furniture used by the Belgian royal family or noble servants every day. That kind of furniture does not have a corresponding badge, so the value is definitely not that high, even if it is antique furniture!

So why should I buy such a set of antique furniture that seems to be of low value? The reason is very simple, I found a mechanism on this set of furniture, and there might be some important secret hidden behind it,

This secret organ may bring me surprises, or it may only make me happy for nothing, so where is this secret organ? I will reveal the answer for you! "

Saying that, Ye Tian's right index finger had already slid across the table and landed on a copper-inlaid decorative piece on the side of the desk!

It was a carved little angel. The carving was not too fine, but it was still a bit cute, and it protruded outwards, about two or three centimeters higher than the wooden board on the side of the desk.

And this is just one of the decorative parts on the side of the desk. There are several copper-inlaid decorative parts on this side, with figures and other shapes. There is nothing special about this carved angel!

Around this carving, there are also flower patterns and mountain stone patterns, and directly below the carving are several shell patterns, showing the naturalism tendency of the Rococo style!

In the eyes of everyone at the scene, this area is not much different from other areas of the desk, only the decoration is different, and there is no trace of any mechanism at all!

But in Ye Tian's eyes, this is the gate leading to the treasure, and the bronze sculpture inlaid with an angel is the key to unlock the treasure.

The moment his fingers touched the carved angel, Ye Tian's voice suddenly became more excited.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is where I said the organ is. The exciting moment has arrived. I hope this little angel can bring you a huge surprise!"

Before he finished speaking, he had already squeezed the carved angel with his index finger and thumb. He tested it first, then exerted a sudden force and started to turn it clockwise.

"squeak--!"

A piercing sound suddenly sounded, which made people gritty and get goosebumps!

In everyone's eyes, the very ordinary bronze sculpture of an angel suddenly started to rotate in Ye Tian's hands, and exclamations followed.

"Wow! That angel sculpture moved, I didn't expect it to be a mechanism, it's incredible! How did Steven find out?"

"I don't know what secrets are hidden behind this organ? It's definitely not simple, and it might be a priceless top-level antique artwork. It's so exciting!"

While exclaiming unceasingly, everyone could also see that the mechanism was very tight, it could be said to fit perfectly!

That is to say, this guy, Steven, is so powerful that he might not even be able to twist it if he were to replace him!

Ye Tian turned the mechanism very slowly, and he was also very focused and cautious, lest he use too much force and directly twist off the 200-year-old angel inlaid bronze sculpture in his hand!

The unpleasant 'squeak' sound kept coming out, everyone's eyes were following Ye Tian's hand, everyone's eyes were extremely hot and full of anticipation!

The faces of the Ghent father and son were pale, extremely ugly, as if their own father had died, their eyes were full of despair and hatred, the unforgettable kind!

It took about 20 seconds for Ye Tiantian to turn the carved angel one hundred and eighty degrees, and the little angel who was originally face down and spread his wings changed into a face up posture.

After turning the carved angel piece to a position of 180 degrees, Ye Tian didn't stop moving. He started to turn the carved piece counterclockwise again, and then turned back 90 degrees before stopping.

Immediately afterwards, he squeezed the bronze sculpture of an angel tightly and pulled it out suddenly.

"Crack!"

A crisp voice sounded, which was very pleasant to listen to.

Accompanied by this sound, Ye Tian pulled out the bronze sculpture of an angel by five or six centimeters, exposing the metal connecting rod at the back, about the thickness of a little finger.

Without the slightest pause, Ye Tian immediately let go of the carved angel, and reached out to hold the 'doe leg' closest to the carved piece, which is the unique table leg of Rococo style furniture.

As before, he tested the direction of the force first performatively, and then began to turn the table leg with force, still clockwise first, then counterclockwise!

With just a few efforts, he removed the elegant table leg, and the situation at the joint of the table leg was presented to everyone.

It was a metal screw hole with several recessed tooth holes, all of which were rusted. Its function should be used for the occlusal mechanism. The design is very clever!

The upper end of the table leg is a hollow round hole, the diameter is slightly larger than that of a table tennis ball, and the depth is unknown!

Seeing this, everyone immediately exclaimed again.

"Oh my God! This mechanism is so ingeniously designed, it took so much pains!"

"What kind of treasure is hidden in that round hole? It must have taken so much effort to hide it, it must be a big deal!"

While exclaiming endlessly, everyone was staring at the table leg in Ye Tian's hand, unwilling to blink their eyelids, for fear of missing the most exciting picture or important discovery!

In the next second, Ye Tian stretched out his left hand to gently cover the round hole, then slowly turned the table leg upside down, and poured out the treasure hidden inside the table leg.

When he opened his left hand again, there was a small bag wrapped in white satin in the palm of his left hand, with a shield-shaped iris flower logo embroidered on it, very delicate!

“My God! That’s the emblem of the French Bourbons!”

Gatrink exclaimed directly, his voice trembling with excitement!
