Professor Zhang's eyes were red, and he couldn't even look at her. "You're the girl who, out of righteousness, reported her biological father for colluding with tomb robbers. Alas, this incident really isn't your fault. They weren't very skilled themselves, so how can you be blamed?"
"But who did you sell that blue and white porcelain brush washer to? Can you get it back?"
