In the end, it was Luo Feng who stepped in to mediate, bringing the dispute between the father and daughter to a close.

As they were leaving, Charlie looked at Alice with a grave expression and said, “Alice, you’re my daughter. No matter what decision you make, I will respect it.

But I also hope that you would consider my perspective.”

“I know you’re still young, but I also know that, like me, you’ve already developed the ability for rational thought.”

“You won’t be like others your age, making irresponsible remarks based on momentary desires.”

“Whatever decision you make this time, I won’t make it difficult for you anymore. But before you make that decision, I hope you’ll consider all the factors involved.”

After saying these words, Charlie left, leaving Alice and Luo Feng in a silent atmosphere.

The relationship between the father and daughter was far worse than Luo Feng had initially thought.

Originally, Luo Feng had assumed that Charlie was a traditional father, forcing Alice to do things she didn’t like, which led to her running away from home.

But after today’s encounter, Luo Feng realized that the situation between the father and daughter was not as he had imagined. In fact, Charlie had hardly ever used any forceful methods on Alice.

Alice was a sensible child, so there was little need for excessive communication between them.

However, precisely because Alice was sensible, every word from Charlie added invisible pressure on her. It was this pressure that led her to choose to leave. Her expression a mix of agony and indecision, Luo Feng quickly stepped forward and put his hand on her shoulder, saying, “Don’t think too much about it right now. Your father will give you ample time to ponder this issue.”

“Just do what you like for now. When the time is ripe, the answer to this problem will naturally come to you.”

Luo Feng’s words of comfort were effective, and Alice soon relaxed.

“Thank you,” Alice said, and then she and Luo Feng left the place.

As they left, a man in a suit emerged from the corner.

“I never thought that in front of his daughter, the Chairman would humble himself to this extent,” the man mumbled.

“But for me, this is an opportunity. I’ve been lying low for so long; it’s about time an opportunity presented itself.”

As he spoke, the man moved his lips slightly and picked up his phone to make a call.

“I’ve found the young lady. You know what to do, right?”

“Don’t worry; I’ll bring her back.”

Back at the company, Luo Feng sat contemplating in front of a statue of the Maitreya Buddha, still pondering over Charlie’s situation.

If Charlie had been the extreme type of parent he had initially imagined, resolving the father-daughter issues would have been much easier.

But Charlie was the kind of person who could fully understand others. He wouldn’t force anyone, yet his words and actions exerted tremendous pressure.

For Alice, having such a father was both a blessing and a curse.

The Buddha statue was now in his possession, but it wasn’t particularly valuable—certainly not compared to other artifacts he had previously returned. He didn’t give it much thought and simply sent it to storage for now.

Later, when he’d accumulated enough items, he’d package them all together

Luo Feng then started browsing the internet, looking for more artifacts he might acquire. Despite searching for quite a while, he found nothing of interest and decided to set the matter aside for now. It was at this moment that he received a phone call.

“Hello, may I speak with Mr. Luo?”

The voice on the other end was very polite. After confirming his identity, the caller’s next words got Luo Feng very excited.

“I’ve heard that Mr. Luo is quite fond of collecting antiques.”

“I happen to have a painting here. Would Mr. Luo be interested in acquiring it?”

“I’ve never dealt with antiques before, but a friend told me that this painting is quite valuable. Its name is, um… The Portrait of Emperors Through the Ages.”

Upon hearing the name of the painting, Luo Feng was so thrilled he could hardly contain himself.

This painting was considered one of the highest-level works of figure painting from the Tang Dynasty, holding a crucial position in the history of ancient Chinese art.

The painting depicted thirteen emperors from the Han to the Sui Dynasties, and it was not just artistically outstanding but also extraordinarily symbolic. If he could bring this artifact back, it would cause a tremendous sensation.

“Where is the painting now?” Luo Feng asked, barely suppressing his excitement.

The caller did not answer directly. “It might not be appropriate to discuss this over the phone, don’t you think?”

“Pick a location then. I’m available anytime..”
