Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1643: Chapter 1627: The Hero Returns

After a series of tireless efforts, it was already morning in England.

By the time the lawyer hurried over, Huo Sining had completed most of the work; next was the notary of the contract between both parties’ lawyers, taking photos for evidence, and the procedure wasn’t finished until a little after nine in the morning.

Including the seven artifacts previously exchanged with four Spanish Royal Coins, this time, Huo Sining exchanged a total of 247 items with the Albert family. These items ranged from large to small, gathering in such a large quantity.

At least, Huo Sining’s small storage ring certainly couldn’t hold all these items, and the target was too large this time, so she couldn’t possibly use the storage ring to discreetly take everything away.

After a round of communication with Adrian, he agreed to lend his private jet to Huo Sining to help transport these artifacts back to her home country.

Upon hearing this, Huo Sining couldn’t help but be overjoyed and promised repeatedly: “Mr. Adrien, thank you very much for your generosity. If next time I find another batch of European antiques, I will definitely come to you again.”

Adrian forced a bitter smile; this time, he had put himself in a tough spot, and now he had to finish the deal even if it meant enduring humiliation, but he would definitely not do something so foolish again next time.

Several elders back at home were also restless, constantly concerned about this side of things. Upon hearing that she would fly directly to the Imperial Capital in a few hours on the Albert family’s private jet, Zhou Shitao immediately called Chief Lu to ask him to clear the airport for the Albert family’s private jet.

The elders were extremely anxious; though it was already past midnight, none of them had slept, each in high spirits and wide awake.

“Dad, you should go get some sleep first. Even if Miss Huo and the others take a private jet, it will still take seven or eight hours to fly directly from London to the Imperial Capital. Waiting now is pointless; rest for now and have some breakfast in the morning, and then let the guards drive you to the airport.”

Seeing these elderly gentlemen waiting in the study, even neglecting their sleep, Qin Haiyan felt both troubled and worried.

Especially for Qin Lianshan, although his health had recovered after the treatment by Huo Sining and Bai Buzhi’s medication, the damage from over a year of illness had taken a toll on his body. Thus, doctors had earnestly advised a regular routine, cautioning against overexertion.

Concerned about Qin Lianshan’s health and fearing a relapse, Qin Haiyan had returned to the Qin Family after years of marriage, neglecting her husband and children to focus on caring for her father.

Hearing his daughter’s words, Qin Lianshan looked somewhat embarrassed, while Zhou Shitao and Huang Zhenlong also smiled sheepishly:

“Haiyan, you don’t understand the emotions of us old folks. These artifacts relate not just to the collecting community but signify the return of Huaxia civilization. The research value of those items is tremendously significant; it’s hard for us to sleep without seeing them safely brought back.”

Qin Haiyan found herself somewhat speechless upon hearing this.

Not being part of the collection community and lacking that experience, she naturally didn’t understand the emotions and sentiments of these elderly men.

Back in the day, Zhou Shitao and Huang Zhenlong had traveled abroad and could only stand dumbly behind glass displays in museums, looking at Huaxia artifacts hanging on the walls, even prohibited from taking photos. To these old comrades who study Huaxia’s historical civilization, it was a grievous humiliation.

Now, with Huo Sining bringing back such a large batch of artifacts, it was indeed a major event. Not only Zhou Shitao and the others were anxious; even Chief Lu, upon receiving the news, rushed back eagerly from out of town and went straight to the Qin Family, asking, “What’s going on here?”

After Huang Zhenlong’s detailed explanation and seeing the list of 240 artifacts, Chief Lu couldn’t help but slap the table and burst into laughter:

“Hahaha, that Huo girl is quite something! How did she pull this off?! Wonderful, wonderful, this is such a significant affair, beneficial both nationally and to the people! I truly underestimated this girl; she managed to deal with those Brits! No, this matter needs serious attention; I need Zhenghang to bring some troops to escort that girl. Tomorrow, I’ll clear the airport myself and personally welcome her!”

Chief Lu clapped his hands, setting the tone for the event. With a leader overseeing, Zhou Shitao and the others had nothing to worry about, though clearing the airport was a bit too high-profile. Still, with Chief Lu in charge, there was no fear of baseless rumors, even from journalists with ulterior motives.

Despite receiving the clearance news, to avoid swift leaks, Huo Sining still had Adrian help tightly package all the artifacts, ensuring better protection and secrecy upon arrival.

Though the airport would clear, numerous airport staff would still remain. Huo Sining couldn’t guarantee that none would leak the news, so staying cautious was wise.

A group of elders waited at the airport from early afternoon, but the plane didn’t land smoothly in the Imperial Capital until after seven in the evening. During this wait, Huang Zhenlong and the others had been pacing impatiently, nearly wearing out the floor.

Upon spotting the private jet with “Albert” in large letters landing, Zhou Shitao and others couldn’t wait any longer and rushed toward the airport, disregarding any image.

On the other side, Lu Zhenghang had long been leading officers in solemn preparation, formed in neat rows on the airport tarmac awaiting. When Huo Sining and Gu Xu’s group disembarked, the first thing they saw was Chief Lu’s kindly smiling face.

Having experienced such a scale before, Huo Sining felt no surprise, regaining composure shortly after a brief amazement. Yet, Miss Yue, Zhong Xiaoyao, and the retired soldiers accompanying them were stunned, frozen as if glued to the plane, unable to move a foot.
