Chapter 822: Chapter 826: So lodramatic!
"This appears to be a work from about 10 years ago, with craftsmanship resembling that of Zhan Liushan’s highly imitative Qing palace porcelain." Yang Gang had no idea who Zhan Liushan was, anyway, the result from mory Reading was as such.
Xue Shuren was taken aback and thought to himself, "Could this kid really possess so knowledge on antique appraisal?"
In his heart, he was actually well aware that this was indeed a proud replica created by Zhan Liushan, the dostic pottery counterfeit king, a genuine fake. But this fake had once deceived dozens of dostic porcelain experts, and unexpectedly, Yang Gang hit the nail on the head with a single comnt.
"I’m off to work!" Having said that, Xue Shuren promptly grabbed his briefcase and left.
Yi Honglian couldn’t help but smile wryly, "Yang Gang must have guessed right. Yaoyao’s dad doesn’t want to admit defeat, so he’s using the excuse of going to work to slip away."
Yang Fei’s lips twitched.
Is that so? Does this guy really understand antique appreciation??
Suddenly, Yang Fei felt that she would never be able to fully comprehend Yang Gang.
Just when you think you have him all figured out, he always manages to surprise you unexpectedly.
So unwilling to accept that...
At that mont, the sound of a car parking ca from outside the villa. Yi Honglian glanced at the outside surveillance and quickly ran out to open the door.
"Great Elder, you’ve arrived," Yi Honglian said with great respect.
The Great Elder nodded, "Hmm, I’m here to take Feifei to an arranged introduction."
"An arranged eting?"
"Yes, he is the grandson of a friend of mine, highly spoken of, and quite an outstanding individual. It was originally intended for Yaoyao, but then Yaoyao suddenly announced she had a boyfriend, and coincidentally Feifei ca back, so I decided to matchmake him with Feifei. However, for the sake of our progeny’s genetic considerations, we, the Xue Clan, must also try to recruit so excellent sons-in-law."
After finishing his piece, the Great Elder looked at Yang Gang, who was coming out of the house, and then said with a smile, "Honglian, how is your son-in-law?"
Yi Honglian smiled, "Although certainly not as good as Feifei’s potential match, in my eyes, he’s already quite excellent. It’s just..."
"Just what?"
Yi Honglian paused for a mont before speaking, "Great Elder, our Xue Clan has few key mbers in the intelligence departnt. If Feifei takes maternity leave..."
The Great Elder waved his hand, "I know what you an. No worries. The intelligence departnt is traditionally the domain of the Anno Clan, and if we, the Xue Clan, are too dominant, it will arouse the vigilance of the Anno Clan. The reason why Xilan Republic has been able to maintain stability for so long is because the three major families have different domains of influence: the Anno Clan controls the cabinet, the Anno Clan controls the parliant, and our Xue Clan controls the military. The three families keep each other in check."
"Oh, I see," Yi Honglian replied.
At this ti, Yang Gang, Yang Fei, and Xue Yao had all co out.
"Feifei, let’s go," said the Great Elder.
"Oh," Yang Fei’s gaze seed to flicker for a mont.
At this point, Yang Gang suddenly said, "Great Elder, can Yaoyao and I co along?"
"Hmm?"
"Oh, can we not? In our custom, if a girl in the family is going to an arranged eting, all relatives like seven aunts and eight uncles would go to size up the potential groom. Last night, didn’t you all co to size
up as well?" Yang Gang said.
"Uh..." The Great Elder thought for a mont, then said with a smile, "Well then, co along."
The unease in Yang Fei’s eyes instantly dissipated.
Subsequently, everyone got into an ordinary sedan and drove away from Bamboo Peak of the Xue family, heading for their destination.
On the way, the Great Elder seed to notice the others’ confusion and took the initiative to say, "Are you all wondering why we are taking such an ordinary sedan?"
"Mm-hmm," Xue Yao nodded.
The Great Elder paused thoughtfully and said with a smile, "Their family is not very wealthy. If we were to arrive in a stretch Lincoln, it might co across as showing off."
"Oh, I see." Xue Yao pondered for a mont, then curiously asked, "Great Elder, who are they?"
"His grandmother was my friend, and his grandfather..." the Great Elder hesitated, then continued, "was my first love."
"Ah!" Yang Gang and the others were sowhat shocked.
The Great Elder chuckled, "It’s a long story. To put it simply, the three of us had been college classmates and were very close. I was dating the boy at the ti, but near graduation, he broke up with
and chose to marry my friend."
"Why?"
"Well..." she hesitated, "after a night of drunken passion, she ended up pregnant with his child."
Cough cough!
Yang Gang almost choked.
What a lodrama!
As they passed through a patch of woods, Yang Fei looked at the devastated land and asked curiously, "What happened here?"
"Huh? Feifei, don’t you know? A few days ago, a dinosaur suddenly appeared in the city’s café, and this patch of woods was trampled by the dinosaur that escaped from there," explained Xue Yao.
"What? A, a dinosaur?" Yang Fei blinked, "I had no idea. Wait, Yaoyao, are you sure it was a dinosaur and not so dragon-like monster?"
"After the special forces killed the dinosaur, they compared its DNA with that extracted from dinosaur fossils, and it was an exact match," Xue Yao inford.
"Ah? Could soone have cloned a dinosaur?" Yang Fei exclaid in shock.
Xue Yao shook her head, "That’s impossible. The DNA structure of dinosaurs is much more complex than that of other Earth species. With the current level of human technology, even if it develops for another thousand years, it’s unlikely that dinosaurs extinct for nearly a hundred million years could be brought back to life."
"Could it be an organism from Pandora Star?"
Xue Yao shook her head again, "The DNA structure of species from Pandora Star is completely different from those on Earth; we can rule out that possibility."
"So what is it..."
"It remains a mystery to this day," Xue Yao paused, then added mysteriously, "By the way, I have information that a while ago, dinosaurs were also found in Lanshan, Hainan, under the jurisdiction of the Earth Federation, and they were carnivorous, Spinosaurus to be precise."
"Sssh—what in the world... Wait, Lanshan, Hainan?!"
Yang Fei reflexively glanced at Yang Gang, inwardly stunned, "Isn’t that Gang’s hotown? But he seems so calm about it!"
Xue Yao did not notice the subtle movent from Yang Fei.
The Great Elder, with a serious expression, added, "This situation is extraordinary. The Earth Federation has convened hundreds of top biologists to discuss it, but so far, no progress has been made."
She sighed deeply, "Who knows if this is good or bad for humanity? Dinosaurs were the most powerful species in the 4.6 billion years of Earth’s history. Even compared to the monsters from Pandora Star, they are no less formidable. If they could help humanity fend off extraterrestrial monsters, that would be a blessing. But if they attack humankind, it would be a disaster on top of another."
The ’pri culprit’ appeared to be quite calm about it.
At that mont, the car ca to a sudden stop and settled in front of an ordinary farmhouse.
A woman of about the sa age as the Great Elder stood at the entrance to greet them, accompanied by a gentle, refined young man in his twenties.
Upon seeing the young man, a flash of coldness swept across Yang Gang’s eyes.
