Reborn As Super Heir Chapter 1207 - 1204: Child’s Play!

Chapter 1207: Chapter 1204: Child’s Play!

A room full of elderly n with graying hair were all present. As Huo Sining followed Director Li and others into the room, those old n glanced back in Huo Sining’s direction but didn’t ask any questions, continuing instead to discuss sothing among themselves.

Only then did Huo Sining notice that there were many boxes in the room, each containing relics.

What those old experts were studying were precisely the items in these boxes.

Director Li was about to speak, but Huo Sining stopped him and asked sowhat awkwardly, "Director Li, this... where is the restroom?"

Director Li was taken aback, pointing to the very end of the corridor, and Huo Sining turned and headed toward the restroom. Director Li didn’t bother with Huo Sining and turned back to inquire about those experts’ situation.

anwhile, Huo Sining went to the restroom. Just as she closed the stall door, she heard soone walk in and start talking.

"I heard that even a few old experts from the archaeology departnt of H University have co over. Do you really think this is such a serious matter?"

"Whether it’s serious or not isn’t up to us. The authenticity of the antiques is just a matter of a word from above, and besides, this isn’t the first ti a museum has displayed counterfeits; which museum doesn’t have this situation?"

"I also heard that the culprit is soone from within our museum. Isn’t that an inside job?"

"That’s not surprising anymore. These things aren’t unheard of. If you ask , it’s probably that Deputy Director Zeng who did it. I’ve long thought he’s a shifty-eyed man not to be trusted, but Zeng Fugui has strong backing, so I’m guessing this matter will end without conclusion."

"Shh, keep it down. Zeng Fugui is not a good person. If he hears you talking like this, who knows if he’ll make trouble for you one day!"

The two won in the restroom discussed this and hurriedly left after finishing their business.

Huo Sining wasn’t in the habit of eavesdropping, but the two were clearly trying to speak quietly, so she feared coming out abruptly might embarrass them. She stayed put until they left before coming out.

However, after hearing what those two won said, she had so thoughts in mind. As she returned, she took a detour to the sealed-off area of the museum, activated her Heavenly Eye, and quickly surveyed several antiques displayed within the museum.

After the inspection, the corners of Huo Sining’s mouth lifted slightly. She felt she had so understanding of the museum’s situation.

"Hey, you over there, which departnt are you from? This area is sealed off and can’t be viewed now. All relics are seized and need to be appraised by experts before being put back on display. How did you get here, young lady? You know this is against the rules, right?"

Just as Huo Sining was about to head back, she heard soone shouting at her. She turned and saw a security man in uniform holding a walkie-talkie and shouting at her.

Huo Sining imdiately showed an awkward expression and walked back quickly, saying, "I’m sorry, sir, I didn’t an to. I took a wrong turn. Could you tell

where the eting room is? Director Li brought

over. I just used the restroom and got lost."

The security guard glanced at Huo Sining suspiciously and then nodded, saying, "Co with ."

Following the security guard back to the eting room, when Huo Sining pushed open the door and went inside, Director Li urgently called out to her, "Miss Huo, you arrived at just the right ti. Please have a look at this incense burner and tell if it’s genuine!"

At Director Li’s words, the few old experts in the room paused, instinctively raising their heads to look over at Huo Sining. Upon seeing it was a young girl of about twenty years old who entered, all their faces suddenly darkened.

"Director Li, what do you an by this? Are you doubting our judgnt as old n?"

"Exactly, even if you don’t trust us, isn’t it too much to trust such a young girl? How old can she be? She probably hasn’t even graduated from university, has she?"

"This is nonsense. Where did this young girl co from, Director Li? There’s a theft at your museum, and you take it so lightly, treating such a serious matter like child’s play. It’s outrageous!"

"Yes, we’re here to help you out. If sothing happens, who will take responsibility, and how will you explain it to those above?"

Those experts assud Huo Sining was a relative of Director Li, brought in deliberately to gain so experience. If it were other occasions such as an archaeological site, they might have turned a blind eye, but not now in such a serious setting. Allowing outsiders to enter randomly was unacceptable to those expert veterans, imdiately prompting them to criticize Director Li upon seeing Huo Sining.

Director Li, hearing their remarks, was at a loss whether to laugh or cry: "Please, don’t get excited. There’s a misunderstanding here—Miss Huo is dispatched by the higher-ups."

Hearing this, those experts were montarily taken aback.

Seeing this, Huo Sining quickly introduced herself: "Hello, esteed teachers. My na is Huo Sining. My master, Zhou Shitao, has sent

to assist you with the H Province Museum theft incident. I rushed here from S City, sorry for being late and causing inconvenience to all of you."

Her words were polite and respectful, and being Zhou Shitao’s apprentice added weight. Though the experts were puzzled why the higher-ups would send such a young newbie to handle important matters, out of respect for Zhou Shitao, they couldn’t openly lose their temper.

The few experts’ expressions softened, but the doubt in their eyes didn’t dissipate; it only grew stronger.

After all, no one would believe a young girl of only twenty could understand antique appraisal even if she was Zhou Shitao’s pupil. Her age suggested she might only know a little of the basics.

Due to skepticism, none of the experts spoke, and nobody took the initiative to converse with Huo Sining. They all lowered their heads, busying themselves with their work, and seed determined to leave Huo Sining out in the cold.

The atmosphere turned sowhat awkward, and Director Li, noticing this, hurriedly explained, "Miss Huo has extraordinary skills in antique authentication. Back at the Public Security Bureau, she already gave us a display of her abilities. When she touches relics, it’s nothing short of miraculous. With a simple touch, she can easily tell genuineness. I bet she could discern the real from the fake even with her eyes closed!"
