In particular, there is a sentence in the female reporter Bingbing's report that says, "Mr. Xu said that if the jade seal is real, he would not mind donating it to the country."
Then... dozens of the most prestigious and renowned museums in the entire Great Xia Dynasty sent people out to try and make contact with this 'Mr. Xu Lu' as soon as possible.
For these organizations, finding someone's address is incredibly easy.
But when everyone arrived at Xu Lu's residence, they discovered that the place was deserted!
This made everyone extremely anxious.
The Imperial Seal of the State—such an extraordinary treasure! I can't sleep soundly until it's in my own museum!
We're all here, but this kid named Xu Lu isn't home. That's not fair!
...
"Hello, Ms. Yang Mi, I am Xie, the curator of the Great Xia Kyoto Museum. I would like to ask you where Mr. Xu Lu from your agency is now?"
In the office, Mr. Yang, who answered the phone, had a rather strange expression.
In fact, more than five people have called her today to ask about this matter, and all of them are from the famous museums of Great Xia.
At first, Mr. Yang was really startled, but then he realized that these people were all looking for Xu Lu.
Upon further questioning, it was discovered that the man possessed the Imperial Seal of the State, which had attracted the attention of these museums.
After informing Director Xie of Xu Lu's whereabouts, Boss Yang rubbed his temples after hanging up the phone.
"Xu Lu is such a troublemaker. First, he sold that chicken cup to a Hong Kong tycoon for 300 million."
Now, to make matters worse, an even more outrageous Imperial Seal has appeared, making all the top museums in the Great Xia Dynasty green with envy…
Thinking about this, Mr. Yang was speechless.
Even as a top-tier celebrity, I don't make it onto the trending topics every day.
But Xu Lu isn't even a third-tier celebrity, yet he seems to have taken up residence on the trending topics list.
Moreover, they never repeat the same way of trending on social media; they change it every day.
What about drawing US dollars on live streams, pranking TV show crews, scaring NPCs in haunted houses, and Black Impermanence online to collect souls...?
But strangely, this guy just doesn't trend on social media in the way that people in the industry do!
This is truly something else!
...
In fact, Mr. Yang wasn't the only one having worries at this time.
The crew of "Thieves in the World" received numerous phone calls from various contacts, including the director and producer.
Then all the calls pointed to the same person, Xu Lu, who had only recently joined the film crew.
"Um, Xu Lu, why don't you stop filming today? They've come to see you again."
Director Feng Zhonggang was quite polite and spoke to Xu Lu.
Seeing that Xu Lu seemed about to refuse, Director Feng specifically added a word of advice:
"Ahem, well, Xu Lu, we can't afford to offend the people who came to see you, so you should go and deal with them quickly."
"Alright then, Director Feng, I'll take care of this right away. It won't take much time!"
Xu Lu spoke up.
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Director Feng quickly waved his hand and said:
"No! Don't worry about filming. The important thing is to cooperate with the people who came. These people are all influential, and we can't afford to offend them!"
Xu Lu nodded and walked out of the film set amidst Dilraba's envious gaze.
What he didn't expect was...
He had just left the film set when more than a dozen people swarmed around him, greeting him all at once.
"Mr. Xu, I am the curator of the Jiangsu North Province Museum of Great Xia. I am here today to..."
"Mr. Xu, you are a man of great talent! I am an old man from the Shanghai Museum of the Great Xia Dynasty. I would like to invite you to dinner!"
"I have long admired Mr. Xu's name, and meeting you today confirms that it is indeed well-deserved. I am from the Great Xia Imperial Capital Museum..."
"Ahem, everyone, Mr. Xu is from Hongcheng. How can you all be so shameless..."
...
Xu Lu glanced at the whole room and felt that these people were quite different from what Director Feng had described. They all had kind faces and enthusiastic attitudes, and were obviously easy to get along with!
"Everyone, please be quiet. I basically know why you're here, but I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you!"
Seeing that the people present had calmed down a bit, Xu Lu finally found an opportunity to speak.
Upon hearing this, someone's expression immediately changed, and they asked:
"What do you mean, Mr. Xu? Are you unwilling to donate the Imperial Seal of the State?"
Everyone else also looked at Xu Lu, and for a moment the entire room fell silent.
Xu Lu shook his head and said with a smile:
"If it is the genuine Imperial Seal of the State, I would certainly be willing to donate it so that more people can see it..."
Upon hearing this, those around him breathed a sigh of relief.
"I knew it. A person with such noble character as Mr. Xu wouldn't be so selfish."
"Yes, Mr. Xu is a promising young man. If he were to donate the Imperial Seal of the State to our museum, we would create an honorary curator position..."
"As long as Mr. Xu chooses our Great Xia Imperial Capital Museum, we will help him resolve his Beijing residency issue."
...
Seeing that the crowd was about to get excited again, Xu Lu quickly raised his hand and continued what he hadn't finished saying:
"Everyone, my willingness to donate is based on the premise that the Imperial Seal of the State is genuine, which of course is not a problem."
But if the Imperial Seal of the State in my possession is a fake, then even if I wanted to donate it, I probably wouldn't have the means.
Of course, everyone here is undoubtedly a top expert in this field, and you can naturally distinguish between genuine and counterfeit items..."
Xu Lu paused for a moment, then said:
"Please wait a moment, everyone. I'll bring the item over so you can all see it."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
Some even said more solicitously:
"Mr. Xu, which bank's safe deposit box do you keep that thing in? I'll send a car to take you there!"
"bank?"
Xu Lu shook his head and pointed to a van not far away, saying:
"No need, I don't have any money in a bank, it's in the car over there, everyone wait for me!"
Everyone present was stunned as they watched Xu Lu stride towards the van.
The priceless Imperial Seal of the State, which even the Gallic delegation dared to offer 50 billion for, is stored in a van with absolutely no security measures.
What a terrible thing!
Many people instantly showed expressions of regret and sighs, the kind of feeling one gets when seeing others burn their zithers and cook their cranes to build houses on the back of mountains—it's just too damn heartbreaking!
However, when Xu Lu came back from the van carrying a small suitcase, everyone forgot what they were thinking, because everyone's attention was focused on the suitcase.
A super antique worth 50 billion!
A treasure even more prized than the museum's most prized possession!
An artifact that bears witness to the five thousand years of dynastic changes in the Great Xia Dynasty!
Who will ultimately win today?
