As Director Zhuge finished speaking, Qian Duoduo's face instantly turned pale, and he quickly knelt down to look at the fragments of the cup on the ground.
I was at a loss and didn't know what to do for a moment.
This... this is an antique from the Tang Dynasty. Even if it is a small cup, it is priceless. She... how could she not hold it just now?
The staff who rushed over after hearing the sound all focused on Qian Duoduo at this moment.
A mean-looking woman looked at the fragments on the ground and began to curse at Qian Duoduo, "Hey, what's wrong with you?
Are your hands fake? Do you know how precious this cup is? How many researchers worked hard to visit the tomb to take it out!
You...you can't compensate even if you sacrifice your life!"
As soon as this woman took the lead, other museum staff started shouting.
"Yes, some of us almost died for this cup! Now I'm going to let you ruin everything!"
"I have long said that we should not cooperate with outsiders. Now we are all really at a disadvantage. What should we do?"
"Let's call the police first. According to the rules of Liberty City, if we damage national treasures, they will go to jail and no one can escape!"
As they spoke, these staff members took out their mobile phones and started calling the police, some calling the security guards, and some notifying the Liberty City media.
…
"Director Qian, don't touch this cup with your hands yet." Ye Ranran came over, grabbed Qian Duoduo's arm, and tried to help her up.
When these people came up, they put all the blame on Qian Duoduo, and even used so many ugly words... They were really of average quality, which opened her eyes.
"Yes, don't touch it. It's so dirty. Don't pollute our pieces too!" The mean-looking woman said coldly again.
Ye Ranran frowned slightly, glanced at her indifferently, squatted down slowly, carefully looked at the debris on the ground, and roughly understood the situation.
This cup is not as good as they say!
Moreover, the cup was dropped so strangely just now that she could fully suspect that these people did it intentionally.
"Hey, don't look at it. You can't afford to pay for it. This is the treasure of our Liberty City, the most precious existence in the history of world cultural relics.
Anyone who destroys cultural relics from the Tang Dynasty in other countries will be punished with a prison sentence. You can expect to die miserably!" The mean-looking woman looked around at Ye Ranran and continued to shout in a sharp voice.
Curator Zhuge over there didn't say a word after shouting at the beginning.
Now it's time for the researchers to perform.
Huh, after destroying such precious cultural relics, even if Ye Ranran has the support of big bosses, she can only wait for misfortune.
His mission can be successfully completed.
Over there, Mi Liang was looking at the fragments with his camera, thinking about whether there was any chance of turning around.
Seeing Mi Liang like this, the mean-looking woman rushed over and said sternly: "What are you taking pictures of? Do you think that just a few pictures can help you change the results?"
Let me tell you...the things this time are too precious, and it can no longer be solved by paying money! After we call the police, your entire program team, plus the researchers from your country, will all go to jail!"
Researcher Zhou Fangrui, who had followed Ye Ranran and the others over there, was so frightened that his whole body was trembling, and he looked at the woman with horror on his face.
"Miao Liyun, we...we really didn't mean it...don't be angry, please cancel the alarm first, okay? This, this cup, we...we can find a way to repair it, okay?"
After hearing this, the mean woman named Miao Liyun turned back to look at Director Zhuge.
Curator Zhuge was naturally dissatisfied with the repair proposed by Zhou Fangrui. He glanced at Zhou Fangrui and Ye Ranran with disdain, and then looked at Miao Liyun lightly.
Then, he saw Miao Liyun taking a step forward, folding her arms, and said in a mocking tone: "Repair? With your Shengguo's level, how can you repair it?
And no matter how much repairs are done, it will not be possible to make it exactly the same as before, nor will it change the fact that you have damaged cultural relics! Now I give you two ways!
Either we pay compensation for an identical cultural relic, or we all go to jail and don’t even think about leaving our Free City!”
After saying that, the woman named Miao Liyun looked at Director Zhuge and asked deliberately: "Director, do you think... is it okay to say this?"
Director Zhuge narrowed his eyes, like an old fox, deliberately pretending to be kind, "Well, I'm already showing extra kindness to them."
However, Zhou Fangrui started crying on the spot, turned to look at Ye Ranran, and collapsed: "How can we compensate the cultural relics? In Shengguo, cultural relics are also treasures!
Not to mention that we can take it casually, even if we have money, we may not be able to buy it... This does not allow us to choose, but it forces us to go to jail!"
After Zhou Fangrui finished speaking, others also looked melancholy.
Especially here at Qian Duoduo, she was almost dying of guilt, and said to everyone: "If you really want to go to jail, let me go alone, and don't follow me."
I broke it, so let me take responsibility and I will bear everything!"
She must never hurt her friends again!
"Director Qian, we are all in this together, and we will handle things together. Even though you were careless, we can't let you suffer alone!"
"Yes, I think this matter can still be solved. The ceramic cup can't be repaired if you don't believe me!"
Everyone said something to each other, obviously they don’t want to see Duoduo go to jail alone.
Qian Duoduo was moved to tears and almost burst into tears.
As for Ye Ranran, seeing everyone saying this, her eyes darkened, she walked slowly over there, squatted down, and took out a special glove.
After putting it on slowly, he picked up the pieces on the ground and looked at them carefully.
Just as she guessed, there were a lot of bubbles on the fragments, and several fragments were also different in color.
If it was really from that era, there would be no such problem...unless...
Ye Ranran's watery eyes narrowed slightly, and she murmured: "The color of ceramics from the Tang Dynasty is bright and shiny, more like white jade, with almost no visible bubbles..."
Seeing her saying this, Miao Liyun immediately became displeased and shouted in a sharp voice, "What do you mean? Are you saying that the things in our museum are fake?"
Hey, please understand, this is Liberty City! Liberty City is never short of money financially. We have billions of dollars a year, how can we get fake goods here!"
Curator Zhuge was already angry here, and sneered: "If you don't want compensation, just say so if you don't want to go to jail, why question our cultural relics?
Our museum in Liberty City will never put any fake cultural relics. After all, this is the facade of our history, and we are not that stupid!
There’s no way the city lord would allow us to do this!”
After the words fell, Director Zhuge glanced around as if casually.
Then, the staff started shouting.
"Yes, we have the support of the city lord, there is no way we can fake it!"
"Don't think of our tall Liberty City with your mean thoughts!"
"If you don't believe it, you can ask the city lord! If the city lord comes over, he will definitely slap you in the face!"
