Shocking The School

Exclamations came from the study from time to time. It was too rare for Su Dongpo's inkstone. Moreover, this duck head green inkstone was beautiful in color and at the peak of craftsmanship. Just looking at it was pleasing to the eye.

"Miss Sirui, I still have to apologize to you for what happened today. I wanted to tell you directly that you got the wrong person in the western restaurant, but I heard you say that there are many antiques at home. I was really curious, so I followed you here."

"The misunderstanding has been resolved. There's no need to take it to heart."

"In that case, I'll take my leave first."

Qin Sirui turned around and looked at him. "I'll send you off after dinner."

"I don't want to become a thorn in some people's side." Li Mo smiled evilly. "That Li guy is really concerned about you, but to be honest, that person's standards are too low."

"The Qin and Li families are long-time friends. I know very well what they're thinking, so I'd rather go overseas to film than become their marionette."

"But you really don't know me?"

"You looked a little familiar the moment you took off the aviator shades. I seem to have seen you somewhere before. This is the truth."

"Got it. Looks like I have to work harder in the future. Let's go. I'll send you off now. I'll treat you to a meal. Take it as thanking you for your great performance."

The two of them walked out. When they were about to reach the entrance, Li Mo saw the security guard who practiced Bajiquan again. He was also looking at Li Mo. Their gazes met, and invisible sparks seemed to fly in the air.

The fact that Li Mo could see through the origins of his fist technique at a glance meant that he was an expert himself. As the saying went, it was difficult to find an expert. He would want to spar with one.

"That person is an expert." After leaving the courtyard house, Li Mo could still feel a pair of eyes staring at his back. "Who is that person?"

"He used to be a leading soldier under my uncle. I heard that his Bajiquan is extremely powerful. Seven to eight well-trained burly men couldn't take him down. After he retired, my uncle arranged for him to be a security guard in the courtyard house."

"Just send me here. I'll go back to the hotel myself. You still have important guests at home. If you don't appear at the banquet, your grandfather will lose face."

"You really don't need me to send you off?"

Li Mo pointed at the dense traffic on the street outside the alley. "I'm afraid I'll go crazy from anxiety in the car. When you see the old master later, explain it to him for me. I'll visit him again if I have the chance in the future. I really want to see his other treasures."

Qin Sirui hesitated for a moment before giving up on the idea of driving him. It was the peak traffic jam now, so it was really more convenient to take the subway.

"Add a chat number. I'll arrange it for you next time."

"Alright, if my classmates find out that I have the chat number of a big star like you, won't they envy me to death?"

After the two of them added each other, Li Mo waved his hand and walked out of the alley.

It was already past nine o'clock when he returned to the hotel at night. Li Mo took a hot shower and lay comfortably on the bed. He watched television until dawn in a daze.

The next day, after breakfast, he went to the largest commercial bank in the capital to open a new account and rented a safe for a long time. At around 9:30 in the morning, Third Fat Niu's huge sum of 133.55 million yuan was transferred to his account. The account manager of the bank in Shanghai's voice was trembling when he called to confirm.

"I'll transfer 20 million yuan to a new account I opened at the Capital Commercial Bank later."

Soon, the 20 million yuan transfer was in place. Even the vice president of the bank was alarmed. He appeared and chatted with Li Mo for a moment.

Not long after, a special escort car stopped at the entrance of the bank. Under Professor Zhu's escort, the handover procedures were completed. The unparalleled amphora was successfully stored in the vault.

"Mr. Li, you can contact me anytime if you need anything in the future."

The vice president was a capable woman in her forties. She had the highest respect for VIPs like Li Mo who had more than 10 million yuan in cash deposits.

"Thank you, President Chang. I'll contact you again if there's anything."

After leaving the bank, Professor Zhu Changping smiled and told Li Mo that the person-in-charge of Beijing University's admissions office was already contacting his alma mater. As long as his school record was prepared, he could directly file it. Special treatment would be given to him.

"There are still more than 20 days until the college entrance examination. There's no need to be in such a hurry, right?"

Seeing the surprised gazes of the master and disciple, Professor Zhu smiled helplessly and said, "It's his fault for attracting too much attention. I reckon Tsinghua University and Renmin University's admissions office are also active. There are fewer and fewer history and archeology students now. It's rare to meet such a strange talent. Who doesn't want to fight for him? Old Liu, you have to help me keep an eye on Li Mo. Don't let him be snatched away by other universities."

"If he dares to be disloyal, I'll implement the sect rules." Liu Chuanqing patted his chest. Professor Zhu was really thinking too much. Was his disciple that kind of person?

"Professor Zhu, thank you."

"There's no need to thank me. I hope that you can make some contributions to our country's archeological career in the future. By the way, Director Qin is a practical person. If you have any intention of taking out your amphora to cooperate with an exhibition, you can contact her directly."

Director Qin was Qin Sirui's aunt.

"Alright, there's nothing else here. We'll return to Shanghai in the afternoon. Professor Zhu, keep in touch. Goodbye."

"Good-bye."

Li Mo and the rest quickly completed the check-out procedures. It was already 2.30 pm when they boarded the high-speed rail.

Liu Chuanqing was dozing off. Li Mo, who was sitting at the side, transferred 100,000 yuan to Zhu Mingcheng's account. He still recognized Lawyer Zhu's professional ability. How could he really pay him 3,000 yuan? He would get him to send him an electronic file for the cooperation agreement later and officially entrust the business to him.

The more the train drove south, the darker the sky outside. Soon, it started to rain heavily. Li Mo leaned against the window, held his chin, and looked at the rain outside in a daze.

It was already late at night when the high-speed rail arrived in Shanghai. The heavy rain had just stopped, and the air had become fresh.

"Little Mo, I'll send you back first."

"There's no need. You'll have to take a long detour if you send me back first. Shiniang knows that you're back, so she's probably not asleep yet. Besides, you know my ability. Why would I be afraid of encountering any criminals?"

"It's fine if you don't go to school. Rest more these few days. Don't go to the City God Temple first, in case those bosses come to look for you when they hear the news."

It was good that he did not go. It would save him a lot of trouble.

***

Li Mo was woken up by his phone. He slept soundly on his bed and slept until past 10 the next day. If not for his phone ringing, he might have slept until the afternoon.

She rubbed her eyes and stretched before slowly taking her cell phone. Aiya, it was Teacher An, the form teacher. Li Mo picked up.

"Li Mo?"

"Teacher An, it's me."

Teacher An's voice immediately rose on the phone. She said excitedly, "Li Mo, you took leave a few days ago and they said that you were hospitalized. I've been worried about you."

"Thank you, Teacher An. I'm fine."

"It's good that you're fine. Can you come to the school today? I really didn't expect our class to have a strange talent like you. I just received news that the recruitment managers of three top famous schools in the capital contacted the school administration one after another and said that they wanted to specially recruit you as an autumn freshman. Can you confirm if this is true?"

Professor Zhu had really guessed it. Both Tsinghua University and Renmin University wanted to win him over. This matter alarmed the school.

Li Mo smiled and said, "Teacher An, this is absolutely true. However, I've already promised Professor Zhu Changping from Beijing University, so the school's leader will reply just like that. If there's no problem with the school, Beijing University will make the special arrangements. This matter is already set in stone. I won't go to school to avoid making things too complicated."

"Alright, alright. Li Mo, I originally thought that you were very ordinary. Now, it seems like I was short-sighted. I and your classmates are proud of you."

"Teacher An, I'll go to school to visit everyone in a few days."

"Alright, I'll treat you to a feast then."

"Then it's a deal."

Li Mo could understand the teacher's excitement. Every year, for the college entrance examination, the school would introduce some incentive policies in order to increase the school enrolment rate. For example, if they could get into a famous school like Beijing University and Tsinghua University, they would be heavily rewarded from subject teachers, form teachers, grade team leaders, and so on.

The college entrance examination had yet to start this year, but their class already had a student who had been accepted by Beijing University in advance. It was simply a huge surprise. It was exciting news for the school and those students with outstanding results.

He did not want to become a giant panda. Wouldn't he be even more troubled if his roots were questioned?
