"The police have called you in for questioning again, saying that they've uncovered some witness evidence proving you indeed bought three ancient books from that thief's stall on the day in question."

Early in the morning, as soon as he got up, the guide called Chen Yiyang.

"When do I need to go in for questioning?" asked Chen Yiyang.

"They're saying whenever you're available."

"That accommodating?" Chen Yiyang was somewhat surprised.

Is it really up to him when to go there?

"Perhaps part of the reason is that the police have learned you visited the Toyota Family last night.

They're unsure of your relationship with the Toyota Family, so they're being courteous to you.

Besides, you're already prohibited from leaving the country, so they aren't worried you'll flee."

Though Toyota Osamu is no longer at the helm of the Toyota Group, the Toyota Clan remains one of Japan's elite families.

Anyone associated with the Toyota Clan is naturally treated with respect by the police, even if they're a foreigner.

But while the police are lenient towards Chen Yiyang, the biggest victim of this theft, Naito Fumio, certainly isn't.

The old man, upon hearing that the Tokyo local police had crucial witness testimony showing Chen Yiyang purchased three ancient books, immediately held a press conference.

He lashed out at Chen Yiyang for clinging to Japan's elite families and refusing to return the purchased stolen goods.

He also hinted that Chen Yiyang might be the true mastermind behind the scenes, and those two petty thieves were possibly hired by him.

"Naito Fumio was born in 1941, now over eighty years old and somewhat senile."

Inside the embassy, Chen Yiyang leisurely sat on the sofa chatting with the embassy staff.

"If necessary, the embassy can protest against Naito Fumio's accusations," the embassy staff showed a good attitude towards Chen Yiyang.

Not merely because Chen Yiyang is a young, wealthy man, but also due to a word from Yang Chengru there.

"No need. I'm waiting for someone who should arrive today," Chen Yiyang declined the embassy staff's good intentions.

The person Chen Yiyang was waiting for is a member of the West Cold Seal Society.

With Xu Xiaosheng's connection, this member has already arrived in Japan today.

Soon, the person also arrived at the embassy.

"Hello, Uncle Liu," Chen Yiyang greeted the guest politely.

"Hello, hello," Liu Shu, a scruffy middle-aged man exuding a strong artistic vibe.

Upon reaching the embassy, Liu Shu didn't bother with pleasantries and directly requested to see the Seal Collection of West Cold Eight Families bought earlier by Chen Yiyang.

"This is definitely the Seal Collection of West Cold Eight Families, I wouldn't mistake it," Liu Shu, after examining the Seal Collection, said excitedly to Chen Yiyang,

"Once the Seal Collection of West Cold Eight Families came into the public eye, numerous exhibitions were held. I have seen the real deal many times.

I wouldn't mistake it; this is precisely the one I saw back then." Uncle Liu spoke enthusiastically.

After Madam Ding Ruxia rediscovered the Seal Collection of West Cold Eight Families, it was actually displayed numerous times.

Madam Ding Ruxia generously lent the Seal Collection to various Japanese television stations and painting exhibitions for display, as a symbol of Sino-Japanese friendship back then.

So Uncle Liu is quite familiar with this Seal Collection.

"I must inform Sister Ding that this Seal Collection has been found." Uncle Liu stood up excitedly to make a call.

"Wait a minute," Chen Yiyang halted Uncle Liu.

"Do you know where I got this Seal Collection from?"

"Where?" Uncle Liu finally realized.

This Seal Collection had been lost for years, where did Chen Yiyang find it?

"The Seal Collection last appeared in public was loaned by Naito Fumio, a honorary member of the West Cold Seal Society and Vice President of the All Japan Seal Carving Alliance, for an exhibition. Later, Naito Fumio claimed it was lost."

"Yes," Liu Shu remarked, "Back then, Madam Ding Ruxia even suspected Naito deliberately schemed to steal the Seal Collection. But as there was no evidence, the matter ended inconclusively."

"Recently, Naito Fumio's house was burgled, and the two petty thieves stole numerous items from Naito Fumio's collection for sale."

"Are you saying?" Liu Shu instantly grasped where Chen Yiyang's Seal Collection had come from.

"Uncle Liu, please contact Madam Ding Ruxia but don't tell her what's going on, just say she's needed at a press conference."

Chen Yiyang, after speaking, turned to the embassy staff.

"Recently, many news media want to interview me, please have the embassy staff contact all major Japanese media, informing them I'll hold a press conference, publicly clearing a fact: I previously lied at the Tokyo local police station, actually, I bought three ancient books from those two thieves."

"No problem." The embassy staff were savvy individuals.

They immediately understood what Chen Yiyang intended to do.

"Oh, and it'd be best to invite Naito Fumio himself too."

"No problem, we'll assist in contacting him." Even the embassy staff, eager to see the excitement, assured their full assistance to Chen Yiyang.

Two days later in the hotel, Chen Yiyang asked the little accountant to spruce up his personal appearance for the press conference.

While helping Chen Yiyang arrange his attire, the little accountant asked puzzledly.

"Technically, you've returned the other two ancient books Naito Fumio lost. Naito Fumio should already know that the Seal Collection of West Cold Eight Families has probably ended up with you, so why does he dare to cling to this matter?"

"That's why I say Naito Fumio is senile," Chen Yiyang expressed understanding, "an octogenarian, his mind likely wiped clean of all the wrongdoings he's done in the past.

What was that famous saying by the Japanese? 'Why should today's me apologize for yesterday's wrongs I did?'"

Naito Fumio probably has truly convinced himself that the Seal Collection of West Cold Eight Families is his belonging. It's typical Japanese behavior, isn't it?"

"Or maybe he thinks the Seal Collection of West Cold Eight Families was bought by someone else and hasn't been retrieved yet," the little accountant speculated.

"Perhaps." Chen Yiyang wasn't concerned.

If Naito Fumio dared to show up at that afternoon's press conference,

then Chen Yiyang planned a big surprise for this old scoundrel.

Although he got the Seal Collection of West Cold Eight Families by luck, it ultimately must be returned to Madam Ding Ruxia.

Chen Yiyang thought, 'I may not have seized the Seal Collection, but seizing the fame of recovering a national treasure should suffice.'

Even though his negative reputation has vanished from the domestic internet, the attacks from Long Cheng had left lasting effects.

Chen Yiyang hoped to leverage this matter to firmly establish his good public image among the people.

To build an indelible reputation, ensuring no one dares to defame him in the future.

This isn't just for himself, but also for ensuring the prosperity of the various industries under his name.

Especially for the promising Yiyang Automobile.
