The Black Card

Chapter 660 Chen Manniu’s Excitement

This time, the other party had no doubts at all. After all, giving this thing to Bai Lao would never be done by an impostor.

"Well, my place is not far from Baishui Lake. Is it in Bai Lao's private museum?"

"Yes."

"Okay, I will arrive in about twenty minutes, and I will contact you Mr. Shi then."

The other party hung up the phone, and Shi Lei continued to drive straight to Bai's hometown.

Chen Yaonv stood on the steps waiting for Shi Lei. As soon as she saw Shi Lei, a peaceful smile appeared on her face.

Shi Lei hurriedly got out of the car, handed the incense stick to Chen Yanu, and whispered: "Godmother, I'm sorry that I haven't come to visit you for so long. I am mainly in the imperial capital during this time..."

Chen Yaonv smiled and nodded, pulling Shi Lei, meaning to let him go in before talking.

After sitting down, Chen Yanu asked someone to serve tea and told Shi Lei with gestures that Mr. Bai was resting now and would not get up for another half hour or so.

Shi Lei also said: "That's just right. In ten minutes, the person in charge of Uwen Craft Museum will come over. When I went to Australia last time, I brought back a blue and white porcelain vase from Wanli Ming Dynasty. I originally planned to send it to Bai Lao immediately. Come. But the trustee of Uwen Craft Museum found me and expressed that he was very interested in that piece of porcelain and wanted to borrow it for viewing for a while. I was embarrassed to refuse, so I lent the porcelain vase to them. He just said that he would return it to me. I asked him to send it directly to you. At that time, I would like you and Mr. Bai to help me keep an eye on it and see if they have got back a fake."

Chen Yanu was a little surprised and asked Shi Lei with gestures why he gave this porcelain vase to Bai Lao.

Shi Lei then smiled and said, "Isn't Mr. Bai going to celebrate his eightieth birthday soon? I thought I would take this as his birthday gift. Moreover, this thing is relatively expensive. To be serious, it can be called a national treasure. I am a layman who doesn’t know much about collecting. I bought this thing just because I couldn’t bear the treasures of our country to be lost abroad. After much deliberation, I feel most at ease giving it to Mr. Bai. Anyway, Mr. Bai has already prepared to donate all the collection in the future. To the country, this can be regarded as my contribution to the country’s cultural relics collection.”

Chen Yanu suddenly became excited. She grabbed Shi Lei's hand, trembling, her lips parted, but she couldn't make any sound. However, Shi Lei could understand the ups and downs in her heart without making any gestures.

After calming down, Chen Yanu gestured and asked Shi Lei that this thing was worth a lot of money and how much he had spent.

Shi Lei said with a smile: "Don't worry about money, you are my godmother, and Bai Lao is your adoptive father, so I should respect my godfather. I am not seeking relatives. In fact, I just want to use Lao Bai’s hand to hand this thing over to the country.”

Chen Yanu nodded repeatedly and patted the back of Shi Lei's hand, feeling very pleased.

Although the twists and turns were not obvious to outsiders, Shi Lei was right in wanting to donate this thing to the country, so it was true that he concealed something, but it was not a big deal.

"Oh, by the way, the original collector of this porcelain vase was also a Chinese. His grandfather's generation went to Nanyang, and later moved to Australia. He said that he had also heard about Bai Lao's reputation in the collecting world, and he wanted to buy it when I approached him When he returned this porcelain vase, he repeatedly contacted Bai Lao and said that he would return to China to attend Bai Lao's birthday banquet."

Just as he was talking, Shi Lei's phone rang. Shi Lei answered the call and it was the person in charge of Uwen Craft Museum.

"He's here, I'll go out to pick him up." Shi Lei stood up, and Chen Yanu went out with him.

From a distance, I saw a car parked at the gate of the community. The director of the Uwen Craft Museum simply couldn't even enter the gate of the community.

Shi Lei and Chen Yanu walked over and explained to the security guard, who then let them go.

"Mr. Shi?" The curator drove in and immediately got out of the car.

Shi Lei smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, I am Shi Lei."

"Is this the dumb girl teacher?" Obviously, the curator recognized Chen dumb girl.

Chen Yaonv nodded slightly and stretched out her hand to shake the curator's hand.

"I don't know what you call me?" Shi Lei asked with a smile.

"My surname is Sun, and Sun Zhiyuan is Ma Zhiyuan's Zhiyuan."

Shi Lei said with a smile: "It turns out to be Director Sun. Mr. Bai has the habit of taking a lunch break. He hasn't woken up yet. Director Sun may need to wait for a while."

Sun Zhiyuan hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Don't dare, don't dare. Being able to see Mr. Bai again is also my blessing."

Shi Lei and Chen Yanu walked slowly in front, Sun Zhiyuan drove the car and followed slowly behind, and soon they arrived in front of Bai Lao's villa.

There was a lot of open space in front of the door. Sun Zhiyuan parked the car and carefully took out a special metal box from the trunk of the car. Holding it in his hand for fear of something missing, he politely followed Shi Lei and Chen Yanu through the door.

Although it wasn't in the museum on the lake, Shi Lei had already said that Mr. Bai was still on his lunch break, so Sun Zhiyuan certainly wouldn't be picky.

After sitting down, Shi Lei first took out his ID card and handed it to Sun Zhiyuan.

"Director Sun, please verify your identity first."

Sun Zhiyuan was a little embarrassed, but he still took Shi Lei's ID card, compared it with the documents on his body, and confirmed that the ID number and name were correct before returning the ID card to Shi Lei.

"Mr. Shi, I'm really sorry, because you gave this cultural relic to your friend to send it to us, and I was not the one who did the docking at the time, so I have to be more cautious. After all, this is a This cultural relic, which can be called a national treasure, has no room for error.”

Shi Lei smiled and said: "That's right. The more cautious you are, the more at ease I feel."

Sun Zhiyuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said in a panic: "I wish Mr. Shi could understand."

Then he opened the box, put on a pair of white gloves, and placed a velvet cloth on the coffee table. Then he carefully took the porcelain bottle out of the box and placed it on the velvet.

"Mr. Shi, please check it out."

Shi Lei turned around and looked at Chen Yanu and said, "Godmother, please take a look."

Chen Yanu was also not modest. In her opinion, Shi Lei was definitely not as good as her in this aspect, so she walked directly to the porcelain vase, squatted down, and looked at the vase carefully.

Shi Lei, on the other hand, stood up and looked inside from the mouth of the bottle. It was too dark to see clearly. He turned on the flash of his mobile phone and shone it into the porcelain bottle. Sure enough, he saw a small word "石" written by himself with a red pen on the bottom of the bottle. At a glance, he knew that it was written by him. At this point, he was almost certain that this was the real thing.

Chen Yanu watched for a long time, then returned to the sofa, nodded and made a few gestures.

Shi Lei understood that this was Chen Yaonv saying that she thought there was no problem, but he still had to let Mr. Bai confirm it later.

At this time, a sturdy voice also came from the stairs behind: "Haha, I heard that Xiaoshi is here? He hasn't been here for so long. Old man, I thought you forgot that you have a godmother here!"

Shi Lei quickly stood up, turned around and looked back.

Sun Zhiyuan also stood up, but he looked a little more nervous than Shi Lei.

Bai Lao's figure slowly appeared from the turn of the stairs. Shi Lei smiled and shouted: "Bai Lao, I was mainly in the imperial capital some time ago. I also told my godmother just now that I will come to visit my godmother and you more in the future."

Sun Zhiyuan took a look and saw that it was indeed Mr. Bai whom he had met before. He shouted even more awkwardly: "Hello, Mr. Bai."
