In addition, they didn't think that Gu Ning could hide the antiques in a few minutes.
Hearing that, the shopkeeper turned around and went upstairs at once. Those people who claimed to be from the Cultural Relics Bureau began to check the antiques in the store.
However, there weren't any real antiques in the store. There were only a few pieces of low value, which couldn't be compared with cultural relics at all.
The rest of the antiques were all handicrafts.
Even so, they didn't think that these were all the antiques in the store. They might have put the real antiques in the warehouse. After all, it wasn't safe to put too many real antiques in the store.
When those people were talking, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting were already aware of it, so Gu Ning and Chen Darong walked out together after the shopkeeper walked out.
As for Leng Shaoting, Gu Ning told him to leave through the window with the antiques first.
If Chen Darong wasn't here, Gu Ning could directly put them into the telepathic eye space. However, Chen Darong was here, so she couldn't do that. If she did that, her secret would be exposed.
"Boss, Manager Chen, the people from the Cultural Relics Bureau are here," the shopkeeper said. He looked worried, because he was aware of it.
"It's fine, it's already done. You can leave now," Gu Ning said, then they went downstairs together.
Although it was the first time that those people from the Cultural Relics Bureau met Gu Ning in person, they knew that they had seen Gu Ning's photo before they met her, so they recognized Gu Ning at a glance.
After that, the leader said, "Nice to meet you, Miss Gu. We're from the Cultural Relics Bureau. Due to the rampant grave robbing recently, we lost a lot of unearthed antiques and sold them to various antique stores. We're ordered by our superiors to search for antiques in every antique store. Miss Gu, please cooperate with us."
The leader was very polite. After all, Gu Ning wasn't an ordinary girl, so they didn't need to directly offend Gu Ning.
In addition, if they didn't have a good attitude, it would be obvious that they deliberately targeted Gu Ning.
Although the person who ordered them to search for antiques and cultural relics deliberately targeted Gu Ning, they couldn't be exposed.
"Since it is a task given by the Cultural Relics Bureau, of course we will cooperate. But I need to take a look at the search document. Is that okay?" Gu Ning said.
Regardless of whether they were here to search for antiques or to target her, she had to read the search document.
"Sure," the man said, then took out the search document and showed it to Gu Ning.
The search document was indeed real, so they had nothing to hide.
After reading the documents, Gu Ning told them to search the house.
Then, the group of people began to search.
Although the shopkeeper and the clerk were a little worried, they believed in Gu Ning. Since she agreed to let them search, she must have hidden the things well.
They first searched the exhibition hall, but they didn't find any cultural relics, not even a valuable antique.
Because of that, the leader couldn't help but guess that Gu Ning knew that the Cultural Relics Bureau was going to search the house, so she hid all the valuable antiques away.
"Miss Gu, it's said that Xiangyun Antique-store has a lot of valuable antiques, but why are there only a few of them?" asked the leader.
"Because they are all sold! As you know, there are very few real antiques nowadays, and we haven't received any good ones recently, so there are only a few real antiques left. That's why Xiangyun Antique-store develops into handicrafts. Our main business is handicrafts now, "said Gu Ning.
Everyone was aware that Xiangyun Antique-store was developing into handicrafts, but they didn't believe that Gu Ning would sell antiques that weren't worth collecting.
There used to be a lot of antiques, but they were all sold out all of a sudden.
"Miss Gu, you're right, but since we're going to search the house, we need to be careful, so Miss Gu, please lead us to the warehouse and the office. We need to search the house thoroughly," said the leader.
"Sure," said Gu Ning. She had already put away all the antiques, so they wouldn't find anything even if they searched the house thoroughly.
Just in case, Gu Ning also used her Jade Eyes to check the house when they arrived at the store, but she didn't sense any valuable antiques.
Gu Ning had also checked the man's body in case he was framed, but she didn't find any antiques in his body.
After searching the entire Xiangyun Antique-store, they failed to find any real antiques, so the leader was displeased.
"Miss Gu, are you sure the antiques here are all the antiques from Xiangyun Antique-store?" asked the leader.
"Of course, but it seems that you don't believe me. Why?" asked Gu Ning. She pretended to be curious, but actually she was testing the man.
In the beginning, she thought that it was possible that the man did it on purpose, but now she realized that it was very likely. Therefore, she decided to test the man.
Hearing that, the leader's face changed a little, but Gu Ning still noticed it. Therefore, she believed that it was very likely that the man did it on purpose.
Even so, Gu Ning still pretended that she didn't see through the man's intentions.
"Miss Gu, you're overthinking it. There's no reason. I'm just asking, so don't think too much about it," said the leader. Even if there was a reason, he wouldn't say it aloud.
"I'm not overthinking it. It's just a casual question," said Gu Ning with a smile.
"Well, Miss Gu, we're leaving now," said the leader, then he left with his men.
Although they deliberately targeted Gu Ning this time, not many people were aware of it, so they still needed to continue searching. If they only searched Gu Ning's house, it would be obvious that they were here for Gu Ning.
However, they were more casual when they searched the other houses, because they were just pretending.
Leng Shaoting didn't leave, but stayed away when they were searching the other houses. Therefore, when they left, Leng Shaoting showed up.
Seeing Leng Shaoting, the shopkeeper and the two shop assistants were all surprised, but no one dared to ask about it.
"I've already hidden the antiques, so don't sell them for the time being. Let's wait for the news to die down," said Gu Ning.
"Sure," said Chen Darong and the others.
After that, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting left. Gu Ning saw the group of people searching the other houses casually, so she was sure that they deliberately targeted Xiangyun Antique-store, or to be exact, her.
