Chapter 714: 714 Sister Lan: Dog barking again? [Update 2]
The Universal Museum has had cases of antique thefts before, but those were years ago when technology wasn’t advanced yet.
These days at the Global Center, surveillance and other electronic thods cover every area, making theft impossible unless it’s a blind spot.
Yet, the newly restored Flowing Cloud Fan has indeed disappeared.
“Why?!” Teacher Qi instinctively shielded all the students, shouting fiercely, “You have no right!”
“Whether we have the right or not isn’t up to you.” The Chief Guard mocked coldly, “Don’t think I’m unaware of you Shenzhou people’s intentions. When you see these cultural relics, you’re all thinking about how to take them away.”
The students’ expressions changed.
“Once you’re at the Global Center, everything belongs to the Global Center.” The Chief Guard showed disdain, “You wish to take them? You don’t have that ability.”
“Clap, clap, clap—”
A burst of applause broke the silence abruptly.
The Chief Guard’s face turned icy at once, looking towards the sound.
“As a thief, you indeed have self-awareness.” Ye Wanlan clapped her hands unhurriedly, “I’m curious, what kind of cultivation technique have you practiced to have thicker skin than city walls?”
The Chief Guard was furious, raising his gun imdiately, “You’re seeking death!”
“Officer, calm down, calm down.” A guard beside him quickly placed a hand on his shoulder, “After all, these are exchange students from Yunjing University, protected by Shenzhou University; they mustn’t be hard!”
The Chief Guard took a deep breath and eventually put the gun down, “About the cultural relic, Shenzhou University cannot interfere. Take them away!”
He wanted to see how tough the bones of these Shenzhou people were!
But due to insufficient evidence, the Chief Guard indeed dared not really do anything to Ye Wanlan and the others.
Even though he was filled with hatred, he could only lock them in a room, ordering guards to watch.
“What kind of hellish place is the Global Center, indeed? What kind of people are they raising?” A female student was furious, “Clearly, they should have evidence before arresting us. Why do they lock us up here?”
They had been at the Global Center for less than a month and had already faced nurous conflicts.
“Stay calm.” Ye Wanlan’s expression was indifferent, “Since it’s not our doing, they must let us go.”
Teacher Qi lifted his hand, pressing his head, “I’m just afraid they’ll take advantage of this to plot against us entirely.”
The Global Center is like an ugly monster, with a mouth ready to devour them.
“Teacher Qi, take a seat first.” Ye Wanlan took out her phone, “I understand this place better than you all; leave it to .”
Teacher Qi was dazed for a mont but sat down afterward.
She trusted Ye Wanlan imnsely because Ye Wanlan had solved the initial difficulties.
Ye Wanlan typed a line in the chat box.
[Sister YN]: Flowing Cloud Fan stolen, transmit surveillance footage to my phone now.
[Cultured Person]: Oh my gosh, Sister YN, you won’t be locked up, will you? I just got the news; I’ll send you the footage right away.
[Cultured Person]: I’m heading over imdiately, wait for !
“Ding,” the video received successfully.
Ye Wanlan squinted her eyes, carefully watching the ten-second footage.
The video showed that after the viewing ended, the Flowing Cloud Fan vanished into thin air with a swoosh.
No one was caught on cara, nor was any other item.
[Ghostbuster Bro]: A haunting, it must be a haunting! Our unit has long confird, besides hospitals, old buildings, and schools, museums have the most spiritual bodies.
[World’s Richest]: Could it be art and thod?
[Sister YN]: No, this is not art and thod, but technology.
[Ghostbuster Bro]: How can it be technology?
[Crazy Scientist]: I figured it out! The glass cover and base were tampered with so that after you finished watching, at the mont everyone turned away, the base opened up, and the Flowing Cloud Fan fell into it.
[Cultured Person]: But surveillance clearly shows the Flowing Cloud Fan disappeared into thin air.
[Crazy Scientist]: That’s simpler; planes now have stealth mode. It’s not true stealth but utilizes light refraction, reflection, and other effects.
[Ghostbuster Bro]: Are you saying soone specifically customized a glass cover to make the fan “vanish” a second before it fell?
[Crazy Scientist]: Precisely, teachable indeed.
[Cultured Person]: If that’s the case, then the mastermind behind this is formidable, for few forces can manipulate things at the Universal Museum.
[World’s Richest]: My family can be ruled out; we never use such improper thods.
In Christine’s view, 99% of things in the world can be solved with money.
And the remaining 0.1% is related to the Heaven-reaching Tower.
[Cultured Person]: Uh, I can’t rule out my unit’s suspicion, but before this, the Flowing Cloud Fan was being restored by the cultural relic restorers from our unit and sent to the Universal Museum. If we truly wanted to keep it, we could have done so a few days ago.
[Ghostbuster Bro]: My unit is even less interested in human possessions.
[Sister YN]: Wait for to get out.
“Boom,” the door was kicked open.
The Chief Guard entered with a team of guards.
“Can we leave now?” Teacher Qi got up, fearless, “We have another class at five.”
“You have no right to leave until the Flowing Cloud Fan’s whereabouts are determined.” The Chief Guard said coldly, “If it turns out you truly stole the Flowing Cloud Fan, then don’t even dream of leaving.”
“Is there no law here?!” Teacher Qi shouted angrily, “When the Flowing Cloud Fan was lost, we were already far from the exhibition stand, with no chance to act!”
“Humph, law?” The Chief Guard seed to hear sothing laughable, “You’re discussing law with ?”
He raised his hand, delivering a slap that knocked Teacher Qi to the ground.
“Teacher Qi!”
“You…”
Students were shocked and enraged,
The Chief Guard shook his hand dismissively, “I’ve disliked you for a long ti.”
It’s not like he didn’t know about the current international sentint—
[Please return the Shenzhou cultural relics to their rightful place, Global Center.]
All because of the popular show “Treasures of The Divine Land,” stirring waves globally.
But why?
Fall behind, and you’re bound to suffer.
If you have the ability, take them back.
“There’s no law at the Global Center.” Ye Wanlan stood up slowly, “But there’s a rule; whoever has the stronger fist, they call the shots.”
“Oh, there’s a smart one here.” The Chief Guard chuckled, “Right, fists talk here. My fists are harder than yours, so you can only—”
He didn’t finish his words because his throat was caught.
Ye Wanlan looked at him indifferently, “Is the dog barking again?”
