Chapter 317
"Teacher, Mr. Wu and the others are here."
In an office full of paper and ink smell, Su Chen met the old man on the phone.
"Come on, what about the bronze medal? Is it... it's on this puppy?"
The old man's eyes immediately looked at the little yellow dog in Su Chen's hand. When he heard the old man's words, Su Chen's eyes narrowed slightly. The hair under the little yellow dog's neck was still very vigorous. If the hair was not broken open, the bronze medal would not be found at all, but the old man could tell the location of the bronze medal at once.
This made Su Chen understand that the old man might have known a lot about the secret of the bronze medal.
"Well, it's on this little yellow dog."
To understand the secrets of the bronze medal and the little yellow dog, Su Chen had to get clues from the old man. He immediately placed the little yellow dog on the table, revealing the bronze medal around his neck.
When the old man saw the bronze medal, he reached out to touch it. The little yellow dog immediately bared his teeth and attacked. Seeing this, Su Chen knocked the little yellow dog on the head. The little yellow dog suddenly became sad and made a few aggrieved whimpers.
"Yes, that's it, that's it."
The old man didn't care about the little yellow dog. Now he focused all his thoughts on the bronze medal. While stroking the bronze medal, he said something that others couldn't understand.
"Teacher, don't be excited, calm down your emotions first."
The student of the old man, the expert, saw his teacher's emotions and looked worried. The teacher was already in his eighties. The old man of this age should not be too excited, otherwise something could happen.
The elderly cannot bear the emotions of great joy and sorrow, which is a consensus that everyone knows.
Wu Tong's expression was also a little nervous. Although he had a noble status, he was a national treasure-level figure like the old man. If something went wrong, the elders in his family would have to scold him to death.
In China, no matter how their families compete for power, there is one bottom line that must be followed, that is, the top experts and scholars in the scientific research department must pay enough attention and respect, because this is the foundation of a country's development.
"I...you don't understand, you don't know what this bronze medal means."
It was difficult for the old man to calm down. Seeing this, Su Chen directly took the little yellow dog away. The old man's expression suddenly became awkward, and after a while, he withdrew his hand with a look of disappointment.
"Teacher, sit down first. Isn't this bronze medal here? I won't run away again."
Zhang Dainian helped his teacher sit down, and his eyes received Wu Tong's gaze. He nodded in understanding and asked, "Teacher, what does this bronze medal mean? What does the word on it mean? You have never mentioned it to me. You can't just hide your own personalities to me."
For Zhang Danian, he respects his teacher, but he also has a family of old people. How to say the research on ancient characters is not particularly valued by the above, and the annual funding is not much, so it is very beneficial to his research to establish a good relationship with the Wu family.
"It's not that I won't tell you the teacher, but because it's not good for you to tell you, and this will subvert your views."
Sun Zhenguo sighed, and finally took his eyes back from the little yellow dog. He looked at Su Chen, Qin Yanxi and Zhao Yimin. He had already known Wu Tong's identity from his students, but he didn't understand these three.
"Old Sun, this little yellow dog is mine now."
Su Chen looked at Sun Zhenguo and said just this sentence. Sun Zhenguo's mouth twitched. Although he was obsessed with studying ancient Chinese, it did not mean that he did not understand the world. The young man in front of him used this sentence to tell him that if he did not tell the origin of this bronze medal, he would not think about seeing this bronze medal again.
But how could Sun Zhenguo be easily threatened? He slapped the table suddenly, which scared everyone present.
"Don't think I don't know. This dog must have been stolen from the ancient tomb. All ancient tombs belong to the national wealth. You are tomb robbing. Believe it or not, I will have someone arrest you with a phone call."
"I really don't believe it."
Su Chen smiled relaxedly, but Zhao Yimin, who was standing beside him, became a little nervous. If the police came, this young master Su would definitely be fine, but he might not be able to do so.
"You think the boy from Wu can protect you, right? I tell you that I can call his grandfather directly. I think he dares to stand up for you."
"If you say that, then we have nothing to talk about."
Su Chen stood up, not because he did not respect Sun Zhenguo, but because he knew that people like Sun Zhenguo who devoted himself to the study of ancient Chinese is always stubborn. If he was not tougher, Sun Zhenguo would not tell the truth.
"You...Young man, don't be impulsive. I'm just kidding."
Seeing Su Chen standing up and leaving, Sun Zhenguo's expression changed, the tough look on his face disappeared, and replaced by a kind smile. Zhang Danian, who was standing beside him, was stunned. He had followed his teacher for so many years, but why didn't he know that his teacher had such good face-changing skills?
"What do you want to know from me?" Sun Zhenguo asked straight to the point.
"I want to know everything about this bronze medal."
Sun Zhenguo pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "This is no problem. I can tell you everything I know, but you have to promise me a condition."
"What conditions?" Su Chen asked with a frown.
"You have to leave this little yellow dog for me."
Hearing Sun Zhenguo's request, Su Chen smiled. The relationship between this person who was angry at the beginning and the compromise was paved for the current conditions.
"Old Sun, I think you don't think about it. If you are willing to say it, I will listen. If you are unwilling to say it, I can also investigate it myself, it's just a waste of time."
"Hmph, what do you know? No one in China knows more about this bronze medal than me. If I don't tell you, you will never know the information about the bronze medal in your life."
Sun Zhenguo has this confidence, but Su Chen's next sentence exposes his confidence.
"There are more than one bronze medal, and these bronze medals are hung on animals."
"How did you...you know?"
Sun Zhenguo was shocked. This was a high-level secret. No one except the project team members knew about it. Moreover, the project team members also signed a confidentiality agreement, and even their own family members were not allowed to disclose it.
"If I guessed, do you believe it?"
Su Chen did guess. He guessed it based on Sun Zhenguo's previous knowledge that the bronze medal was on the little yellow dog as soon as he entered the door. Sun Zhenguo knew about the bronze medal, which means that Sun Zhenguo had seen the bronze medal, but it was definitely not the one on the little yellow dog, because Zhao Yimin had already said that no other thieves had appeared in the tomb.
"Forget it, then I'll change the conditions. I want a tube of blood from this little yellow dog. This requirement is not an exaggeration."
Faced with the request made by Sun Zhenguo, Su Chen had not agreed yet, and the little yellow dog stopped doing it and bared his teeth at Sun Zhenguo with a fierce look on his face.
"You can consider it, but you have to let me know the truth."
Su Chen still didn't agree. Sun Zhenguo looked disappointed on his face, but he soon returned to normal. He sighed: "Actually, I know very well that being able to subdue this little yellow dog means you are not an ordinary person, and you should be the same as that group of people. I really can't threaten you. Even if you don't look for me today, you can understand these things if you find that group of people."
"Teacher, why can't I understand what you said?" Zhang Dainian was confused when he listened.
"It's normal that you don't understand. There are some things in this world that you haven't touched. In fact, before seeing this bronze medal, I was the same as you. It was this bronze medal that made me know that there was more than what I saw in this world."
Sun Zhenguo finally agreed. The old man didn't know anything. He took out a file from the drawer and handed it to Su Chen. Su Chen took the file and looked it up, but Sun Zhenguo was not idle at all and began to tell the story about the bronze medal.
"Twenty-six years ago, a mountain citizen in Shaanxi reported that a tomb robber went up the mountain to rob the tomb. The local police organized people to go up the mountain and caught the tomb robbers in the ancient tomb. But the problem is that these tomb robbers insisted that this was an empty tomb. They did not steal any cultural relics. Apart from finding a bronze medal, the police only found the corpse of a chicken."
The corpse of a chicken!
The words Sun Zhenguo mentioned made Su Chen's eyes lit up.
"At that time, the police also asked how the bronze medal came about. The tomb robbers truthfully explained that they only saw this chicken in the ancient tomb. Those who were in this industry were brave. In addition, they stayed in the mountains every day but did not dare to hunt, so as not to alarm the mountain people. The food was not very good. They didn't think too much about seeing this chicken, but they roasted the chicken and ate it."
"The police naturally didn't believe there was a chicken in the ancient tomb, but these tomb robbers insisted that it was like this. In the end, the police had no choice but to lock the tomb robbers up temporarily and gave the bronze medal to the Cultural Relics Bureau at that time for identification."
"I happened to do something there at that time. When the Cultural Relics Bureau received the bronze medal, I was there too. The people from the Cultural Relics Bureau could not recognize the words on the bronze medal, so I asked me for advice. But I didn't recognize the words on the bronze medal at that time, because I had never seen them, so I guessed that this was a kind of words that had not been discovered."
