"No, Curator Cai said that it's fine. He can help me deal with it. I just want to be honest with you. After all, it's illegal …" Gu Ning said, feeling guilty. "However, I didn't open the tomb on my own accord. Someone had already opened it, and I just happened to find it when I went in."
When she planned to take out the bronze chimes, Gu Ning had already asked Curator Cai if there would be any problems due to the illegal origin.
Curator Cai said that it was up to the relevant departments to decide whether there would be any problems. To put it bluntly, it was just a matter of connections. Once the connections were in place and the relevant departments approved, there would be no problems.
Curator Cai knew that Gu Ning was Leng Shaoting, so there was naturally no problem with their relationship. Therefore, Curator Cai took the initiative to solve this problem for Gu Ning.
"It's indeed not very good, but it's not something outrageous. Besides, you said that you didn't open the tomb on your own accord. Someone else opened it first. Don't worry! I'm not a rigid person. I won't have any opinions about you, "said Leng Shaoting. Although he did not agree with Gu Ning's actions, he did not pursue the matter or have any negative opinions about Gu Ning.
Although Master Leng was not an evil person, he was not an absolute good person either. He would not do anything outrageous or illegal, but he was not an absolute rule-abiding person either. Sometimes, there were some things that could not be avoided from breaking the law.
Of course, their so-called breaking the law did not refer to innocent people, but to evil people and things.
Sometimes, it was not good to rely on normal means to deal with things. They had to resort to extreme means.
Therefore, he did not think that Gu Ning's tomb raiding was a big deal. It was not like she was committing murder or arson.
Gu Ning was relieved to hear Master Leng's answer. "Thank you, Grandpa Leng."
"You don't have to be so polite. Your Grandpa Leng is not a rigid and absolutely rule-abiding person. I've done a lot of illegal things. It just depends on the person and the situation. When some people and some things require extreme measures, it's still necessary. So, as long as you don't do anything immoral, outrageous, or criminal, Grandpa won't have a bad opinion of you, "Master Leng said.
Hearing Master Leng's words, Gu Ning felt reassured and didn't think too much about it.
This was because she was involved in a lot of illegal things, but she didn't do anything immoral or outrageous.
After that, Gu Ning called Jiang Zhongyu and Master Xu and told them about the bronze chimes.
When the two of them heard this, they were extremely excited. Naturally, they couldn't miss this opportunity.
However, Gu Ning did not tell Jiang Zhongyu and Master Xu about the origins of the bronze chimes. Of course, they did not ask either. Anyway, they already knew that the bronze chimes were not of legitimate origin.
Since they already knew, why would they bother to ask?!
Even though they knew that the bronze chimes were not of legitimate origin, they did not have any bad opinions of Gu Ning. Many of the things they collected were not legitimate either.
Moreover, this was not the first time they knew that Gu Ning's antiques were not of legitimate origin.
Also, since Cai Wenhong wanted to appraise whether there would be any problems with Gu Ning's bronze chimes, it meant that there was no problem. If there were any problems, Cai Wenhong would solve them.
They were acquainted with Cai Wenhong, so they trusted him.
Because of the bronze chimes, Master Leng and the other two were so excited that they could not calm down. If possible, they really wanted to see the bronze chimes immediately.
Cai Wenhong wanted to see it too. However, no matter how anxious he was, he had to wait until tomorrow afternoon.
The next day, Cai Wenhong waited for Gu Ning's call, even though he knew that Gu Ning would only call after four o 'clock.
This morning, Cai Wenhong told the two experts who were going with him to appraise the bronze chimes. The two experts were also extremely shocked. However, they did not know that Gu Ning's bronze chimes were a set. They thought that it was just a set.
Even so, they were still as excited as Cai Wenhong and looked forward to it eagerly.
Finally, it was four o 'clock. At two minutes past four, Gu Ning's call came. Cai Wenhong picked it up instantly!
Wasn't that right? Before four o 'clock, Cai Wenhong had been staring at his phone, wondering if Gu Ning would call in advance.
"Miss Gu, are you done with school?" Cai Wenhong asked anxiously as soon as he picked up the call.
Hearing Cai Wenhong's anxious voice, Gu Ning understood and could not help but laugh. "Yes! Do you know Century City in the South District, Dean Cai? My house is there. I'm walking out of school now and driving home. You can go over now. I'm at XX villa. "
"Okay, we'll be right there," Cai Wenhong replied and went out.
Four o 'clock was not the peak hour yet, so Gu Ning arrived at Century City very quickly.
When Gu Ning arrived, Master Leng, Jiang Zhongyu, Master Xu, and Cai Wenhong were already there.
Master Leng and the others could not help but come early. Cai Wenhong was closer to Gu Ning, so he arrived five minutes earlier than Gu Ning.
Master Leng and the others knew that Cai Wenhong and the others would come to appraise the bronze chimes today, but Cai Wenhong did not know that Master Leng and the others would come today, so he was very surprised when he saw them.
Especially when he was facing Master Leng, Cai Wenhong felt a little nervous and reserved. Although they had met many times, Master Leng was too powerful after all.
The two experts who came with Cai Wenhong were naturally even more nervous and reserved than Cai Wenhong.
Knowing that Master Leng and the others were invited by Gu Ning to appraise the bronze chimes, Cai Wenhong was not displeased at all. In fact, he did not dare to be displeased.
Gu Ning also knew that they would definitely arrive early, so Gu Ning had already told Gao Yi and Qiao Ya to open the door and prepare tea for them. Therefore, when they arrived, they all sat down in the living room of Gu Ning's villa.
Then, Chen Darong came too. When he saw Master Leng and the others, he was also shocked, then nervous and reserved.
They did not exchange many words before Gu Ning came back and greeted everyone one by one.
However, as soon as she greeted them, Master Leng urged her, "Girl, hurry up. Take us to see the bronze chimes!"
Before Gu Ning greeted them, Master Leng wanted to urge her, but he felt that it was inappropriate to interrupt Gu Ning, so he held back.
