At the same time, in City A, the Lu family of the National Academy of Sciences.
Lu Huai looked at Zhang Zhen with a gloomy expression, "You said you have never touched the suitcase containing cultural relics. Why are there your fingerprints on it?"
Zhang Zhen was surprised at first, and then said, "Lao Lu, what did I think was wrong? You scared me so seriously." After a pause, she said calmly, "When those people took it away, I might have been careless. Just touch it."
Lu Huai looked at her for a moment and then looked away.
After inspection, there were no traces of opening or fingerprints on the combination lock outside. Han Weixing, who took away the things, also kept complaining. He swore that he did not dare to touch the Lu family's things.
So what's going on?
There can't be any gods who can retrieve things from the air, right?
Lu Huai nodded, "I understand, remember to keep this matter a secret and don't tell others."
Zhang Zhen concealed the horror in her heart and said with a smile, "Of course I know, even Yuanqi and the others won't tell."
Lu Huai seemed relieved, as if he remembered something again, and sighed, "School has started in Liangzhou." After a pause, he said, "It's funny, since the last time I brought the counterfeit home, our father and son met unexpectedly for the first time. It was at the opening ceremony.”
Zhang Zhen burst into tears and said with choked sobs, "What is this child struggling with? Why doesn't he go home? I am the stepmother, but you are the biological father. He shouldn't be like this. Am I an eyesore here?" Lao Lu, how about Yuanqi and I move away."
Lu Huai raised his eyebrows, "Why do you think about yourself? This has nothing to do with you." At this point, Lu Huai thought of something and seemed to sigh unintentionally, "Oh, if Liangzhou hadn't shouted every day Your mother can’t live without you, and it’s impossible for the two of us to get married.”
Lu Huai's attitude seemed peaceful, but he couldn't understand why the four-year-old Liangzhou was so close to Zhang Zhen, crying and calling his mother.
I had never thought about it before, but now the idea suddenly rose from the bottom of my heart.
Zhang Zhen's hands clasped together quietly, and this was the first time Lu Huai mentioned what happened back then.
"I don't know why this is happening. Liangzhou obviously liked me so much before. Alas, when the child grows up, he has his own ideas."
Lu Huai frowned and didn't want to continue discussing this topic. He said directly, "It's the reason why I became a father and it has nothing to do with you. You can go ahead and get busy."
Zhang Zhen was about to leave when she remembered something and said awkwardly, "Tomorrow is my mother's birthday, can you go?"
Lu Huai glanced at her lightly and said nothing.
Zhang Zhen smiled again, as if she didn't see Lu Huai's face, "Yuanqi and the others are at school and don't have time to go. I'll just get her some malted milk."
Zhang Zhen picked up two boxes of malted milk and went out.
Although she is Lu Huai's wife in name, the two of them are not husband and wife, so naturally they will not live together.
But so what?
In everyone's eyes, they were a real couple.
Besides, it was Lu Huai who helped her raise her son after all.
Also because of her marriage to Lu Huai, she, a temporary worker in the compound's logistics, was promoted to a full-time job and is now at the deputy director level.
Now that her son is in college and she has grandchildren and status, she still wants more money.
Therefore, not only everything belonging to the Lu family, but also the box of antiques that Xia Qing left to her children.
It's all hers and her son's.
In a quadrangle with a single courtyard and a good boundary, after the curtains were closed, Zhang Zhen handed a top-quality imperial green jade bracelet to her mother and said proudly, "People in the Han family pride themselves on being smart. They don't know what it means to be low-key. You show off so much in front of me, this time it’s better, you don’t even know that the heirloom is a fake, it really makes me laugh to death.”
Mrs. Zhang also smiled and said, "The Qin family's gilt copper incense burner is ready."
"It's been very strict recently. I told my eldest brother not to move around and to keep an eye on the old lunatic. Also, do we have enough money to buy a manor in country M?"
"I have already bought it, but it is not easy to get rid of the antiques left by that woman Xia Qing, otherwise, the other party will offer this price..." The old lady opened her fingers and compared them.
Zhang Zhen sighed regretfully, "Forget it, let's wait until things calm down."
Before leaving, Zhang Zhen gave the old lady five hundred yuan, and then walked home slowly.
At this time, Lu Liangzhou received a call. He came outside the school gate and saw a middle-aged man. He walked forward quickly and said, "Uncle Meng."
Lao Meng pulled Lu Liangzhou to a corner and whispered to him that preliminary analysis showed that 80% of the fakes that were almost real were probably made by the old madman.
Lu Liangzhou frowned, "Old madman, didn't you disappear before liberation?"
"Tian Lao analyzed that it is the craftsmanship of the old madman, or maybe his apprentice."
Lu Liangzhou nodded and said he understood, thanked Lao Meng and asked him to continue investigating, and he then returned to school.
A whole box of cultural relics was placed in a suitcase with a combination lock. There was no trace of it being opened, but the contents inside had been dropped.
How many years has it been since we've seen something like this?
It can be seen how sophisticated the perpetrator is. He was able to steal and change the situation in this place?
A mole?
That's for sure.
People from the Lu family, including Han Weixing's group, are all suspects.
Of course, you can exclude his so-called biological father. Although he doesn't like him, he still believes in his character.
The other party's methods are very clever. There is no need to rush this matter, so we can only investigate slowly.
Unfortunately, I have to go to the base in a few days and will be temporarily cut off from the outside world.
I don't know if I can receive a letter from Gu Mingtang before leaving.
Gu Mingtang has received the goose eggs sent by him. They are delicious and have a taste that he has never tasted before. Unfortunately, he only ate four, and the rest were divided among his roommates.
I hope that the base test work will go smoothly. During the May Day holiday, he will return to the Lingxi brigade.
At this moment, the two children in the Lingxi Brigade don't know that their father misses them. They really don't think about their father nor their mother.
They are busy playing.
There were six or seven children lining up in the yard of Gu Mingtang's house, and they were all looking at Lu Hui and Lu Xueyan with envy.
Little bikes are really amazing.
Lu Hui said that he could ride for them for a while, but they would have to line up and no quarrels would be allowed, and the younger ones would be in the front.
Everyone was very obedient and eagerly waited in line.
After everyone's turn was over, those children had to go home for dinner.
They had two meals, and Lu Hui's family had three meals. He was not in a hurry. It was only three o'clock in the afternoon, and he had to wait for his mother to come back to have dinner together.
Grandma came here just now and brought them a large stack of baked golden dough cakes. My aunt said that they should fry shredded potatoes with shredded meat and sandwich them in the cakes. Not to mention how delicious they were.
When Lin Shulan left, she also took Chunya back.
But Lu Hui and Lu Xueyan continued to ride their bicycles, but unexpectedly something unexpected happened quietly.
