The car finally stopped outside the Urban Management Office in the old district.
Zhang Moyan looked sideways in confusion at the typical blue building and courtyard outside the window.
Xiao Xingyu understood and asked on her behalf, "Is it okay for us to disturb people during work hours?"
Zhang Moyan looked at him, and the latter showed a row of white teeth obediently and sensibly.
Wang Zhongguo unbuckled his seatbelt and said, "It's okay. Captain Wang will retire in a year. He's now retired to the second line and has a lot of free time!"
As he said this, he pushed the door open and got out of the car. He went to the guard to explain his purpose and register, then led a few people through several rows of law enforcement vehicles parked neatly in the yard and walked into the main administrative building.
Wang Zhongguo led them to an office at the end of the second floor with ease. Xiao Wa knocked on the door twice, a rare courtesy. A young voice came from inside: "Who is this?"
"Oh, I'm looking for Captain Wang," Wang Zhongguo replied. "I'm his family member and I've made an appointment to consult him about something."
"Oh please come in!"
There was a sound of a chair moving from inside the door. Xiao Wa pushed the door open and saw a young man standing up. Behind him, a bald man in his fifties with a pot belly was walking slowly in an official manner.
"Zhongguo is here, you are so punctual." Wang Wenlong waved his hand and invited everyone in.
Wang Zhongguo smiled and said, "You are very busy with official duties. I dare not be late for the appointment."
"Captain Wang, I'm going to check the stalls at the nearby shops along the street!" The young man in the house wisely asked to leave.
Wang Wenlong waved his hand with authority and said, "Go ahead, take those interns with you. Once you've investigated, analyze it with them first, and then report to me at the meeting tomorrow!"
It seemed as if he was arranging a task that concerned the national economy and people's livelihood.
The clever guy thanked the leader for giving everyone space to talk.
Wang Wenlong turned around and slowly stopped his gaze at Zhang Moyan: "You, are Chen Yun's daughter?"
"Yes," Wang Zhongguo said enthusiastically, "Her surname is Zhang and her given name is Moyan."
Zhang Moyan was alert and asked, "Captain Wang, do you know my biological mother?"
Wang Wenlong raised the corners of his mouth with a hint of mystery, and sighed vaguely: "Your mother has a great reputation, it's hard not to know her!"
He ignored Zhang Moyan's complicated expression and looked at Xiao Xingyu: "Who is this..."
"This is Xiao Guotao's eldest grandson, Chen Yun's son-in-law, and our country's leading young porcelain expert, Xiao Xingyu," Wang Zhongguo quickly took over, introducing the two. "My dear nephew Xiao, this is my cousin, Captain Wang, who I want to introduce to you."
Judging from the respect Wang Zhongguo showed to his cousin in his behavior and tone, it seemed that his cousin had a high status in the clan.
Xiao Xingyu sneered inwardly. He really didn't expect that the title of "the country's leading young porcelain expert" would be ranked behind the titles of Xiao Guotao's eldest grandson and Chen Yun's son-in-law.
However, he still shook hands with Wang Wenlong warmly and said, "It's a great honor to meet you, Captain Wang. I hope our meeting will bring good luck to each other!"
Wang Wenlong, who was shaking his hands, was stunned when he heard the words, and felt a sense of sharpness unexpectedly.
"You're already an expert at such a young age?" Wang Wenlong stared at Xiao Xingyu with deep suspicion, then quickly added pretentiously, "Young people are to be feared!"
Xiao Xingyu maintained a modest smile and shook his hand twice: "No, no, it's all thanks to you seniors."
After the two exchanged pleasantries, Wang Wenlong slowly looked from Xiao Xingyu to Zhang Moyan: "The eldest grandson of the Xiao family is your husband, are you a couple?"
Zhang Moyan looked up at Xiao Xingyu, the handsome guy eagerly waiting for her. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and nodded, "Yes."
The handsome guy felt relieved.
Wang Wenlong pondered for a moment, then examined Zhang Moyan from head to toe again. Then he shook his head and sighed, "Incredible! The Chen family is truly extraordinary!"
Zhang Moyan: “…”
She opened her mouth to explain, but suddenly realized that others had already formed a preconceived notion, and a few words wouldn't change their minds. It would be a waste of words, so she closed her mouth.
"Come on, let's sit down and talk!" Wang Wenlong turned and walked towards his desk inside.
This office is shared by multiple people. A row of filing cabinets acts like a screen, dividing the room into two parts. The outer half is occupied by two sets of desks facing each other, which should be the positions of Wang Wenlong's subordinates. The inner half is separated by filing cabinets as Wang Wenlong's own little world, which is no less than a separate office.
Captain Wang's desk was very large. On it lay a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes, a lighter, a blackened computer screen, and the keyboard was covered with walnuts, beeswax, agarwood, and turquoise...
"Wow, you have so many treasures here," Xiao Xingyu exclaimed appropriately, "These strings of banknotes can buy half a pound of gold!"
Wang Wenlong snorted and laughed, his eyes revealing his doubts towards the young man: "How can half a pound of gold be enough to buy all these treasures!"
Zhang Moyan and Xiao Xingyu looked at each other silently.
The pathetic leeks in the cultural relics market.
Xiao Wa and his father sat on a small sofa to one side, while Zhang Moyan and Xiao Xingyu took the chair across from Wang Wenlong. After a few random conversations, Captain Wang pulled a long brocade box from his desk drawer.
"Zhongguo should have told you what I'm going to do. It's a matter of great importance. Don't blame me for being cautious, youngsters. As the saying goes, one shouldn't take on a job without the right tools. The Xiao and Chen families are both ancient porcelain families. You are a descendant of the Chen family and the Xiao family respectively, so you must be quite capable."
Wang Wenlong opened the ivory buttons on both sides of the brocade box and said, "There are three bowls in here, and only one of them is a genuine Chenghua style. Please separate the fakes from the real ones and find the one that is the real one. If you don't have this kind of eyesight, you probably don't have any magical powers. I won't bother you two with my porcelain."
