The old man gestured for Nanqu to continue with what she hadn't finished.
Nan Qu suddenly laughed.
The saying "old people become shrewd" is indeed true. The old man clearly hoped this treasure would be handed over to the Chinese government, but he was also wary of certain individuals. Therefore, he entrusted the treasure to her, hoping she could play a supervisory and protective role.
Then, through her, the treasure was transferred to the government. Her role was that of an intermediary.
She couldn't refuse this middleman no matter what.
Nan Qu took the package with both hands, walked back to the table, and carefully handed it to Su Ruoyan.
With Su Ruoyan carefully opening and checking the package for any potential danger, it was then safely placed in Jiao Yuheng's hands. Jiao Yuheng then put on gloves and carefully took out the items inside, displaying the treasure to everyone watching the live stream through the camera.
Countless domestic appraisal experts, as well as veterans from the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, watched the video with great excitement, exclaiming:
"It's genuine! This is definitely the Empress's seal! I would die happy to have the honor of seeing it in my lifetime."
The live stream was filled with comments, and the chat channel was overflowing with discussions about the seal.
After showing the seal from all angles, Jiao Yuheng put it back in the box. Just then, Nan Qu suddenly said, "Please wait a moment."
Jiao Yuheng paused, then looked at Nan Qu.
Nan Qu walked over and said to Jiao Yuheng, "Can you leave the sealing of the box to me from now on?"
Although Jiao Yuheng did not understand what Nanqu was going to do, he cooperated and made way for her.
Suddenly, Nan Qu found herself holding a strange box. She walked over, took out a spray bottle from the box, and sprayed it into the jujube wood box that had previously held the yellow brocade box. Then she carefully placed the box inside.
After spraying the mist again, she picked up another porcelain bottle and poured the white powder into the box. Only then did she carefully seal the box.
"I'm sorry, but I promised to take good care of this thing, so unless I'm sure it's safe enough, it would be better if I were present before opening it next time."
The return ceremony was rushed, and I was worried about what might happen to the treasures during transport. I had to take some measures, and I hope everyone understands.
After saying that, Nan Qu seemed to remember something: "Oh, to prevent some people from being too bold, it's better to let everyone see for themselves."
After saying that, Nanqu poured the powder onto the table. Instantly, a large hole appeared on the table, and the hole did not stop there, but continued to expand.
Until Nanqu sprayed another liquid.
This experiment sent everyone into a gasp. Nan Qu, however, remained unfazed: "I believe the consequences are not what you want to see."
After saying that, Nan Qu jokingly said, "Director Hui, aren't you heartbroken that you ruined a table?"
Dongfang Hui suddenly realized something, and looking at Nan Qu's smile, he felt a chill. At this moment, Nan Qu inexplicably reminded him of a terrifying witch.
"No, I don't care. Quick, let's get another table."
The staff quickly found a new table and replaced it with a new one. However, everyone subconsciously avoided the box in Nan Qu's hand, as if touching it would cause it to vanish into thin air.
After the table was replaced, Nan Qu handed the box to Jiao Yuheng again, but Jiao Yuheng didn't dare to accept it.
Nan Qu couldn't help but laugh when she saw them like this: "Don't worry, as long as it's not opened, nothing will happen."
However, Jiao Yuheng still dared not open it. Instead, he waved his hand, signaling the bodyguard who had just arrived with the safe to put the box away.
Next came the signing ceremony. Under the watchful eyes of everyone in China, Su Ruoyan opened her tablet again and displayed the return documents to everyone present and in the live broadcast room.
Under the guidance of his son, the elderly man signed his name on the tablet.
Afterwards, Jiao Yuheng took out the unwritten certificate of honor, and Su Ruoyan helped grind the ink on the spot. Jiao Yuheng then used a brush to write the certificate of honor in both Mandarin and Cantonese. He then stamped the certificate with his seal.
Then he handed the certificate to the old man with both hands.
After that, we took photos to commemorate the occasion. In addition to the photos of the elderly man and Jiao Yuheng, all the guests and staff, including the elderly man and his family, also took a group photo.
The entire ceremony was successfully completed.
Everyone was very happy.
Unexpectedly, the live stream became somewhat chaotic at this moment.
When people saw that the elderly man had given him a priceless treasure, but Jiao Yuheng had only given him a certificate, many people in the live stream started stirring up trouble.
[Isn't this a case of 500 yuan still owed to them?]
[Where are you going to find so many? It's only a hundred dollars, isn't it?]
[One certificate, plus another hundred yuan, that's the most I can offer.]
[Pay 500 HKD, then resell at auction in Hong Kong for 50 million HKD...]
Therefore, anyone who thinks about handing over cultural relics is a fool.
What should have been a national celebration has instead led many people to get caught up in the issue of values.
However, most people are clear-headed.
[I have reported them one by one]
[That's worth half a million! We're rich!]
[Where is the big boss behind Sister Qu? Come out and expose all these people; they're definitely walking moneybags.]
[Exactly, do you really think we're all fools? You think we're all swayed by a single sentence? So what if it's 500 yuan? What I want is that certificate of honor. What does it represent? It represents my contribution to the country. With this certificate, I'll have a higher place in the family genealogy! This certificate has already been placed in our ancestral hall for worship! I'm proud!]
[Exactly! Forget five hundred bucks, if it's to beat up a bunch of bastards like you, I'll pay you five hundred bucks myself, just to go to the battlefield!]
[Are you dreaming? You think you can go to war with 500 yuan? Did you even ask the people who have hundreds of millions before you?]
[You call them stupid? You're all capable, but all you can do is act like rats behind people's backs and disgust them. Didn't you see the ceremony's inscription? From beginning to end, this wasn't handing over, it was returning! This stuff was originally ours, it's being returned to us!]
People like you, whose brains are as small as your country, would never understand that there are things in this world beyond self-interest.
You will never understand what this certificate of honor represents.
Yes, and those who are being swayed by the narrative, perhaps our country does have its corrupt elements, but what country doesn't? However, what does the certificate of honor given by the State Administration of Cultural Heritage for handing over national treasures represent? You should know that even soldiers need to make significant contributions to receive a third-class merit award. And you, you only need to hand over cultural relics to get one.
If you receive this, you should simply burn incense and express your gratitude to our ancestors!
