Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1039: Chapter 1035 Peeping Tom

After some heated discussion, the veteran professors finally realized it was time to get down to business. After consulting among themselves, they decided to transport the items exactly as Huo Sining had arranged them into the armored vehicle.

Huo Sining, of course, had no objections. She ran outside the warehouse, took a glance at the two colonels, and said somewhat awkwardly, ”Uncles, could you arrange to have the soldiers help move the things from the warehouse onto the vehicle?”

The two colonels exchanged a glance and immediately stood at attention, puffing out their chests and raising their heads, ”Understood!”

Huo Sining felt a headache coming on again and looked at the officers behind them, slightly concerned, she admonished, ”Move the items slowly; there’s no rush. Make sure not to knock anything over.”

The two colonels nodded, ”Yes! We will absolutely obey the chief’s orders!”

Huo Sining:”...”

Turning back into the warehouse, she opened the two big doors, and the officers orderly entered the warehouse. Huang Zhenlong and several veteran experts, afraid things might go wrong, turned into commanders themselves and began to shout in earnest:

”That’s the Sutra of the Bodhisattva’s Conception, the only Western Wei ink mark in existence, the oldest scripture passed down in the world. Move carefully and make sure not to crease it...”

”Hey, hey, hey, be careful moving that Ferocious Tiger Man-eating Vessel, it’s Shang and Zhou Dynasty Bronze Artifact, damage would be significant...”

”The box contains ceramics, watch your step, don’t trip, ceramics can’t withstand a fall!”

”That stone stele is immovable, young man, you’re still young, don’t be lazy, give it your strength to lift it, don’t let go, this is a national treasure!”

”...”

The warehouse was filled with the shouting of the experts. The two colonels and officers became flustered, breaking into a cold sweat, not knowing where to place their hands or feet.

Huo Sining watched both amused and exasperated, quickly pulling the few experts aside, signaling the two colonels to continue.

The experts realized their chaotic instructions had turned the warehouse into disarray, feeling both embarrassed and awkward, they fell silent, yet their eyes remained fixed on the objects, fearing even the slightest blunder.

With the experts no longer shouting, the officers finally could relax their movements. Each swiftly began transporting the items from the warehouse onto the armored vehicle.

The items were moved out one after another, leaving several containers in the warehouse gradually emptied.

Huang Zhenlong’s heart, which had been tense, slowly settled down. Looking at the objects, his eyes began to sparkle, he said to Huo Sining, ”Little Huo, I heard Chief Lu approved the collection center project. When will you start this? Do you need this old guy here to give you some advice?”

Huo Sining smiled, ”Let’s wait until next year. The National Museum issue is currently causing quite a stir, both domestically and internationally, with countless eyes watching. If the collection center is established now, it might be thrust into the limelight, so we’d better delay a bit, wait for the attention to die down and proceed from there.”

Although Chief Lu promised to support her, Huo Sining preferred to proceed cautiously. After all, her project was quite large; if it were exposed, especially with Dongyang closely monitoring her, it would be difficult for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to handle.

Therefore, Huo Sining felt it’s better to avoid unnecessary trouble, steering clear to avoid causing Chief Lu any trouble.

Listening to Huo Sining’s response, Huang Zhenlong nodded in agreement, highly admiring her decision.

Zhou Shitao surely picked the right disciple. Despite being a girl, she had the courage to infiltrate the National Museum and retrieve a significant amount of artifacts, demonstrating bravery and vigor comparable to any boy, even surpassing the previous male disciples Zhou Shitao had mentored.

More importantly, after reclaiming a substantial number of artifacts, this girl managed to retain a clear mind, understanding the art of concealment and avoiding the spotlight. At just twenty years old, possessing such calm and stable temperament is truly uncommon.

Huang Zhenlong finally understood why Zhou Shitao always seemed agitated when mentioning this little disciple, treating her like a treasure.

Initially, Huang Zhenlong laughed at Zhou Shitao’s exaggerated behavior, but now seeing the girl’s composure while directing, he couldn’t help but feel both envy and jealousy towards Zhou Shitao, almost succumbing to the red-eye syndrome.

What a joke, if not for Zhou Shitao, he would also want such a competent and pride-instilling disciple. He might even treat her like a treasure, refusing to let anyone touch.

However, Huang Zhenlong could only dream of such prospects, as finding another promising talent like this recruited by Zhou Shitao would indeed be challenging.

He couldn’t help turning back to cast another glance at Huo Sining, letting out a long sigh.

Finally, the Honglu Well Stele was placed alone on a vehicle, and all items were loaded onto the truck.

Huo Sining felt uneasy, checking each vehicle meticulously, counting each item one by one against the list, ensuring nothing was amiss, before nodding to the two colonels.

The colonels were preparing to order their men to set off and return, but before they could speak, a rustling noise was heard from behind. One of them immediately had a sharp look in his eyes, swiftly turning his head, eagle-eyed focused on the wall behind, instinctively drawing a gun from his waist, shouting sternly, ”Who’s there! Come out!”

Over there, Liu Cheng shivered, turning pale instantly, fearfully standing up from the foot of the wall, instinctively raising his hands in a surrender gesture, lips trembling as he desperately explained, ”I... I’m not a bad person... I just... saw unintentionally... I...”

Liu Cheng’s jumbling words were interrupted by the colonel aiming a gun at him, his mind completely blank.

Just then, alongside him, the drunk Zhao Yang decided to make things worse, grabbing Liu Cheng, he stood up and shouted at him:

”Cheng, where’s that armored vehicle just now... Damn it, I’ve never touched an armored vehicle... Today’s really my lucky day, rode a Maybach this morning, saw an armored vehicle in the afternoon... Haha, I’m definitely turning my luck around... No way, finally saw an armored vehicle; I must touch it, even wanna piss on it... Cheng, make sure to take pictures for me...”
