Li Cunyi and Chen Tinghai were best friends who had known each other for half a century.
He was younger than Chen Tinghai, but he was already an old man in his seventies.
In the middle of the night, Old Li was so frightened by a phone call that he looked 50 years younger!
"Little Feng, what did you say? Someone is stealing?"
Li Cunyi's expression changed drastically, and his voice could not help but tremble.
"Director Li, there are about 400 pieces of cultural relics. I'm currently leading people to search all parts of the museum, but we haven't found the thief.”Gao Feng, the security captain on the other end of the phone, reported in a very serious voice.
pfff ~
Old Li felt his vision go black and almost fell to the ground.
More than four hundred national treasures were stolen…not four, not forty, but four hundred!!!
"Director Li? Oh, I forgot to mention that the 400 cultural relics were all piled up on the floor of Hall 1 and were not taken away.”
Gao Feng reacted and quickly added: "However, due to the large area of the museum, we haven't found him yet. But don't worry, he should still be hiding in the museum. I sealed off the entire museum at the first possible moment, and I've already requested for backup. The Jingling Police Station has mobilized 2000 police officers to seal off all the traffic arteries within a one-kilometer radius.”
"Director Li? Are you still there?"
Hu ~
When Li Cunyi heard that the cultural relics were not taken away, he finally heaved a sigh of relief. He scolded,"I almost died! Little Feng, can you finish your sentence at once? Do you want to anger me to the afterlife?"
Gao Feng was speechless.
That was really close.
"Hurry up and get the driver to pick me up! Guard the scene. I'll go over now.”
"Yes, sir! Director Li!"
Li Cunyi shivered as he got up from the bed, put on his clothes, and put on his presbyopic glasses. Then, with his messy gray hair, he walked out with his walking stick.
He was so anxious that he didn't even bother to tidy up his appearance.
Although the cultural relics were not stolen by the thieves, there were more than 400 pieces. It was very likely that they were damaged during the transportation!
The thieves were ignorant people who didn't know how to protect cultural relics.
If they damaged the treasure of the Dragon Country passed down by their ancestors…Li Cunyi swore that he would definitely raise his walking stick and beat the thief until he screamed!
"Bodhisattva, please bless us. Thieves must not damage the cultural relics.”
Li Cunyi trembled and dragged his old body. As he pressed the elevator button, he prayed in his heart."God, you can even take my old life, but the cultural relics can't be harmed…"
……
The entire Jingling City was no longer peaceful.
The loud sirens wailed in the air above the city.
Police cars blocked off all the main roads near the capital and checked all the passing vehicles.
There was not a single fish that escaped the net!
Ten minutes later.
A car arrived at the Jingling Museum.
The car door opened and Li Cunyi got out of the car while trembling.
Although he was only seventy-seven years old, ten years younger than Tinghai Chen, his physical condition was not even as good as Old Chen's.
As soon as he got out of the car, two soldiers rushed over and helped him into the building.
"Go faster, go faster…"
Old Li kept urging.
The soldier on the left carried Li Cunyi on his back and rushed into the hall. When they reached Hall 1, he put Li Cunyi down.
"Director Li!"
Gao Feng wore a well-ironed military uniform, his face resolute.
He walked over and saluted Li Cunyi.""The cultural relics have been counted. There are a total of 421 pieces. I have sent people to check more than 120 exhibition halls. There are no missing cultural relics. The only possibility is that it was brought out of the treasure room. We don't have enough authority to go in and check.”
"No…no need to check…"
Li Cunyi's voice suddenly trembled violently.
No need to investigate? What did he mean?
Gao Feng was stunned for a moment, then he saw Li Cunyi was so excited that he couldn't control himself.
Tears streamed down the old man's wrinkled face as he choked uncontrollably.
He broke free from the soldier's hand and threw away his crutch. His body trembled as he walked step by step to the pile of cultural relics.
Plop.
Li Cunyi knelt on the ground, his hands trembling as he picked up a square green jade seal with dragon patterns.
When he saw the words "constantly strive for self-improvement" engraved on the side of the jade seal.
This old man finally couldn't hold it in anymore. He hugged the jade seal and cried loudly. Tears fell like rain.
"The Great Qian Imperial Jade Seal…It's really the Great Qian Imperial Jade Seal…It's been more than a hundred years! More than a hundred years! You're finally back! You're back!"
Everyone was stunned.
They didn't understand why Director Li would lose his composure. Why was he so excited?
But they knew that this was the truest expression of the old man's inner feelings.
Men don't cry easily, but it's not the time to be sad.
"Sob, sob, sob…A hundred years…What a humiliation!”
Li Cunyi sobbed.
The Dragon Country had always been the strongest country in the world since the founding of the Ancestral Dragon Shi Huang!
There was a saying," All the lands under the heavens are the land of the king. Can you imagine how domineering this is?
As the old saying goes, the world will be divided for a long time, and will be divided for a long time.
However, no matter how they separated and merged, in the 5,000-year-old Dragon Country civilization, it was still the number one in the world!
Qin, Qin, Han, Three Kingdoms, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui and Tang Dynasties, Liao and Song Dynasties, Xia, Jin, Yuan and Ming Dynasties.
Every dynasty, every dynasty, every dynasty!
What a glorious and stunning chapter in history!
However, in modern times, when the country was opened up by powerful ships and cannons…everything changed.
The Dragon Country fell from its heyday to the abyss, and from then on, a century-long history of humiliation began!
17 million cultural relics lost.
Why did the Dragon Country insist on pursuing it?
It was not because of their value.
It was because behind every cultural relic was engraved with the Dragon Country's... humiliation, lives, and cries.
They were not just cultural relics.
That was a debt of blood!
"It's good that you're back…It's good that you're back…"
Li Cunyi gently stroked the jade seal and put it down.
"Reporting to Sergeant Gao, we have searched every corner of the entire building, but we did not find the thief. He found a note in the glass cabinet, which should have been left by the thief.”
At this moment, someone ran over to report.
"Give it to me!" Before Gao Feng could speak, Li Cunyi shouted.
His old eyes were sharp as he said in a deep voice,"Also, that's not a thief."
Not a thief?
Everyone was puzzled. How could this be a tourist?
Li Cunyi did not explain. He reached out and took the note.
The note was neatly folded several times.
After opening it, there was a paragraph of text on it.
After reading it, Li Cunyi smiled.
"Traveling overseas, I happened to pick up a few items that were lost in your museum. Please forgive me for disturbing you. I don't want to be meritorious, but I want to be innocent.”
But when he saw the second half of the sentence, the smile on Old Li's face froze…
"Before I left, I saw that the cultural relics in the museum were in tatters, which was a disgrace to a big country. He couldn't bear it, so he helped them out…No need to thank me! -- President Fang."
F * ck!
