Chapter 231 The Red Grid Book
Wang Qingyang was arrested?
Liu Hongmin was stunned for a moment, then asked: "What's the specific situation?"
Richard said: "Recently, a batch of books were lost in the New York library. The police found Wang Qingyang's residence based on clues and searched out the stolen books. It is said that these books are very precious ancient books, so the New York Library hired many lawyers and wanted to put Wang Qingyang in prison for 60 years."
Liu Hongmin frowned, "Is it that serious?"
Richard: "It depends on the value of the books. If each of them is of high value, it is still possible. The laws in our states are different, but one thing is the same, that is, the sentences can be added up for the same case."
Liu Hongmin: "What if I find a good lawyer?"
"It's difficult, unless you spend a lot of money and hire a team of lawyers." Richard said: "I estimate it will cost tens of millions of dollars."
Liu Hongmin said without hesitation: "Then please, pay from my royalties."
Richard smiled and said, "As long as the money is enough, everything will be fine. But, Mr. Liu, you have a good relationship."
"My relationship with him is not good!" Liu Hongmin said calmly, "But I have to save him."
Richard didn't understand, but since Liu Hongmin said he wanted to save Wang Qingyang, he would do it. Every time he worked for Liu Hongmin, he would get a generous reward. If he spent tens of millions of dollars this time, he could get at least half a million dollars, which was his salary for several years.
After hanging up the phone, Liu Hongmin did not put down the receiver, but called Ms. Deng.
"Ms. Deng, I have something I want to tell you."
"You got into trouble again?"
"No!" Liu Hongmin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Ms. Deng, am I a troublemaker in your eyes?"
Ms. Deng laughed and said, "What kind of person are you? Don't you know?"
Liu Hongmin shook his head helplessly, "This is not my own business, the thing is..."
He told her about Wang Qingyang's situation. Ms. Deng was silent for a moment. "I'll call Xiyuan later to see if they can extradite Wang Qingyang back."
"It would be even better if he could be extradited. I have hired a team of lawyers for him. Even if he cannot be extradited, I will try to reduce his sentence."
Liu Hongmin looked around and said softly, "There's one more thing. I'll have someone send you a note later."
Hearing that Liu Hongmin was going to pass a note, Ms. Deng became more serious, "Then hurry up, I can tell Xiyuan everything."
Liu Hongmin took out a note and wrote on it: The ancient books stolen by Wang Qingyang contain secrets, he must have a backup, and Xu Liancheng may know something.
After writing it, he handed the note to Chen Yu, "Brother Yu, please deliver it to Ms. Deng in person."
Chen Yu nodded, put the note away, called two bodyguards and went out to Ms. Deng's house.
A few days later, Richard called Liu Hongmin again.
"Mr. Liu, the legal team has been formed, but this lawsuit may be very long, and it may even take a year or two."
"Time doesn't matter, as long as the sentence is light. Think of a way to get a visitation opportunity."
Richard asked, "Mr. Liu, do you want to visit Wang Qingyang?"
"It wasn't me, it was someone from the embassy." Liu Hongmin said, "No matter what, Wang Qingyang's nationality is still with us. He committed a crime in your country, and our embassy should know the situation."
Richard: "I will talk to the legal team, there shouldn't be any problem." "Then I'll wait for your news."
A few days later, Richard called again, "Mr. Liu, the visit has been settled."
"Then ask the legal team to inform the embassy of the visiting time, and the embassy will contact them then."
After the embassy sent someone to visit Wang Qingyang, Ms. Deng called Liu Hongmin.
"What Wang Qingyang stole was the red-grid version of 'Records of the Sun and the Moon'. According to Xu Liancheng, this is the original red-grid version."
Liu Hongmin couldn't help but fall into deep thought when he heard this. During the war, Mr. Hu sent the red grid book to the United States. Later, when the relationship between the two countries improved, we asked them for it, but we only got the photos of the red grid book. After sorting them out, we found that these photos were not complete and there were traces of modification.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that those photos have definitely been tampered with.
Wang Qingyang actually stole the red grid book. The contents inside must contain important secrets. Otherwise, Wang Qingyang would never risk his life. You know, he has secretly photographed dozens of ancient books. As long as he continues to stay in the United States, he will definitely be able to photograph more ancient books.
"Ms. Deng, when will the film be returned to China?"
"It will be soon. Xiyuan has secretly organized a team to proofread the original. If you want to participate in this work, I can talk to Xiyuan for you."
"I'll forget it!" Liu Hongmin smiled, "My son has just been born, I want to spend more time with my wife and son."
The red grid book was originally a big secret, and the proofreading work was also done in secret. I don't know how many days I have to stay away from home and work in complete isolation. How could Liu Hongmin bear this? With his lovely wife by his side, why should he endure this?
Liu Hongmin did not agree, but Professor Tao did.
The Red Grid Book was his biggest dream in his life. When the photos in the Red Grid Book were brought back, he was the proofreader. Now that the original film of the Red Grid Book has been brought back, he will definitely participate in this proofreading.
There is no one who studies history who is not curious about the truth of history. Some people may have forgotten their original intention, but when they first started studying history, they must have been curious about the truth of history.
Professor Tao is a pure scholar who has always kept his original intention. He doesn't care about politics or force fields, he just wants to study history.
Before Professor Tao left, Liu Hongmin went to see him off.
Professor Tao took him to the study and said, "Hongmin, I don't understand politics. You have collected a lot of ancient books over the years, so you should have a lot of truth in your hands, right?"
Liu Hongmin smiled and said, "Indeed, there are quite a few, but they cannot be made public at the moment."
Professor Tao sighed, "I really want to see what the truth is."
"That's easy. When you come back, just come to my house and have a look." Liu Hongmin said, "I invited you before, but you just refused to go."
Professor Tao glared at him. "Are you inviting me to come over and look at historical materials? You want to use me as free labor."
"Hehe! While reading historical materials, I can sort them out at the same time. It won't waste time."
Professor Tao tapped him with his hand and said, "You are so bold! You are simply betraying your teacher and ancestors."
Liu Hongmin smiled apologetically and said, "How can that be possible? I was counting on you to take me into the hall of history!"
"Just keep talking! I'm leaving now!"
"I'll drive you!"
