Is he teasing me

Chapter 402 Revenge

In the public exhibition hall of Xiaosheng Museum, there were not many visitors to the dazzling collections, and the scene was in good order. In the parking area outside the museum, several high-end cars drove in quickly, and a group of senior executives of Xiaosheng Group got out of them.

"Professor Chen's praises are endless, which makes people feel guilty." Xiao Yanzhen arrived at the exhibition hall earlier and led Chen Guanfu and his wife and a few others to view the exhibits in a polite and dignified manner.

Chen Guanfu smiled reservedly: "I am telling the truth. Every piece of work by Xiao Sheng here is exquisitely crafted and perfect. It can be regarded as a model of contemporary porcelain production. Why do you feel guilty?"

He turned his head to a thin man with a well-dressed and fair complexion beside him and said something in Japanese. Fujiwara Nanako, the thin man and his entourage all laughed.

Chen Guanfu said: "Mr. Tanaka and I share the same view."

The Japanese man called Tanaka said politely: "I can speak Chinese too. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Let's communicate in Chinese! This is indeed an ocean of porcelain art. The quality of the collection is not inferior to some of your national museums!"

Xiao Yanzhen smiled and said, "Thank you both for your praise!"

He looked up at the entrance and saw Xiao Xingyu pushing Xiao Guotao's wheelchair. His face relaxed and he said, "Professor, Guotao and Xingyu are here. Please come this way!"

Chen Guanfu and his party followed Xiao Yanzhen to the most respected person in the Xiao family.

"Old friend, we meet again," Chen Guanfu took the initiative to extend his hand to Xiao Guotao, "I am sorry for coming to bother you without saying hello."

Zhang Moyan was originally embarrassed about how to meet Chen Guanfu, but Chen Guanfu didn't even give her a glance. Only Fujiwara Nanako came up to her and expressed her friendliness: "Xiao Qi, how are you recently? We haven't seen you for a long time. We all miss you very much."

Zhang Moyan nodded woodenly: "Everything is fine."

Her eyes followed Chen Guanfu. Based on her understanding of Chen Guanfu, he would never come to her place unless there was something important.

Xiao Guotao shook Chen Guanfu's hand back and said, "Of course not. The door of the Xiaosheng Museum is open to everyone. There is no need to disturb you."

"You are all family now, do you still need to be so polite?" Tanaka said with a smile.

Xiao Guotao felt Chen Guanfu's hand tighten for a moment, and then he straightened up and introduced himself to him: "This is Mr. Tanaka Ryuichi from the Japan Technical High Energy Research Institute. He is half a colleague of ours. He has admired you for a long time. This time he came from afar to attend the academic seminar and specially asked me to bring him to see the azure glaze porcelain you fired again."

When the name Tanaka Ryuichi came out, Zhang Moyan felt very familiar with it. She remembered that this was the name Xiao Weijiang mentioned last time when he confessed the gambling kiln. Xiao Weijiang also said that Xiao Guoxi had mentioned this name in his notes before leaving for Luoyang.

Zhang Moyan's heart suddenly tightened.

"Recently, the celadon porcelain has been on display in a non-public exhibition area," Xiao Xingyu said to Chen Guanfu politely, "so you need to report to Grandpa and get his approval before you can visit. Grandpa was very excited when he heard that Professor Chen and his wife were personally bringing foreign guests here, so he came here specially to accompany you and exchange ideas."

Chen Guanfu nodded in thanks, but he didn't see any excitement on Xiao Guotao's face.

"Professor Chen, you haven't been to Xiaosheng for more than ten years, right?" Xiao Guotao said meaningfully, "The last time you came to Ruzhou to look for your daughter, I disappointed you. This time, I will make sure you return satisfied no matter what."

Chen Guanfu was slightly stunned: "Thank you."

Xiao Guotao signaled Xiao Xingyu to push him and lead the way, and everyone turned around. At this moment, Zhang Moyan accidentally saw Chen Guanfu glance at Xiao Xingyu calmly, and this glance was full of mystery.

Then she heard Xiao Xingyu say to everyone, "I will accompany you up, please wait for us downstairs. Professor Chen, please understand that your friend's entourage is also limited by the management regulations. Currently, Tianqing Glaze Porcelain can only accommodate you two and Mr. Tanaka. Please sit in the rest area and have a cup of tea."

In fact, there was no need for Chen Guanfu to convey his thoughts. Tanaka Ryuichi had already understood what Xiao Xingyu said. His desire to see the celadon porcelain re-fired by modern people made him carefree and he actively cooperated by asking the people accompanying him to stay.

Zhang Moyan could not get rid of the subtle look between Chen Guanfu and Xiao Xingyu just now. It felt like they were relatives who understood each other's minds. When they turned around, Zhang Moyan felt uneasy. She hesitated for a few seconds and caught up with Xiao Xingyu: "I'll go with you."

Xiao Xingyu stopped and seemed to be hesitant to talk to her. Chen Guanfu, who was walking beside her, noticed her and said, "If she wants to follow, let her follow!"

  So Xiao Xingyu agreed... Zhang Moyan's eyes widened with joy. Since when did Chen Guanfu have such a say?

Xiao Xingyu had brought Zhang Moyan to the exhibition hall that displayed the celadon glaze porcelain re-fired by Xiao Guotao once. The previous time, he was just an outsider who came to complete the interview. Now, when he stepped into it again, his mood was completely different as it was related to his personal life.

Chen Guanfu and Tanaka Ryuichi admired Xiao Guotao's only remaining masterpiece through the glass with a high-powered telescope. After a long time, he sighed with admiration: "The color is as clear and warm as the sky blue, and it is elegant and rich. The exquisiteness of the cracks and the bubbles as bright as morning stars are no different from the sky blue glaze porcelain of the Northern Song Dynasty. Brother Xiao, your achievements are enough to be recorded in history."

Nanako Fujiwara also marveled: "In the past, I could only appreciate Mr. Xiao's works in books and on the Internet. Seeing them today is a feast for the eyes. I am so excited that I almost want to cry!"

Xiao Guotao waved his hand modestly: "This is an accidental creation, all thanks to a lot of experiments and luck. I still don't know the mechanism of the formation of celadon glaze porcelain. Unfortunately, I am already in my twilight years and the remaining time of my life is numbered. It is really a pity and shame."

Chen Guanfu looked at Xiao Guotao silently, with a hint of sympathy in his eyes.

Tanaka Ryuichi curved his lips and said doubtfully, "Since Mr. Xiao has fired three pieces of celadon porcelain, he should have more experience than the average person. Mr. Xiao said he knows nothing, but he is probably being modest."

Xiao Guotao smiled, and Xiao Xingyu replied on his behalf: "To be honest, there is definitely some research. For example, the soil materials and ingredients are basically limited to a certain range, but the exact proportions cannot be determined yet."

Even Zhang Moyan could tell that what Xiao Xingyu said was just talk and it was in vain, the main point was to make the audience not dull.

Chen Guanfu sneered: "Oh? Could it be that what you have learned recently is of no help to your research?"

Fujiwara Nanako's smile suddenly froze on her face.

Zhang Moyan's heart trembled, and as expected, Chen Guanfu rebuked her with a sharp gaze: "Why didn't you give me your mother's relics? What my daughter exchanged for her life, what qualifications do you have to give it away so easily! It's a pity that my Chen family has a descendant like you who forgets his ancestors and eats ungratefully!"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Xingyu immediately said sternly: "Since the first day Mo Yan married into our Xiao family, she has recognized the ancestor of the Xiao family. How can she forget her ancestors by handing the things to us? Professor, shouldn't you reflect on why she didn't hand the things to you? Why are you so untrustworthy in her heart?"

Xiao Guotao suddenly understood the real purpose of Chen Guanfu's visit today. Seeing Chen Guanfu's sudden change of expression, he said sternly, "Professor Chen, Mo Yan is now a member of our Xiao family. Please be careful with your words."

Chen Guanfu was outmaneuvered by the two men. Instead of getting angry, he laughed: "So you guys admit that Xiao Qi did bring my daughter Chen Yun's belongings to your Xiao family, right?"

Chen Guanfu's smile made Zhang Moyan feel eerie and horrified. She had a premonition, so she saw him wink at Tanaka Ryuichi, who took out his cell phone from his pocket and flashed it: "I have recorded your conversation just now. I believe that with my testimony as a third party, Professor Chen should be able to obtain partial ownership of his daughter's relics if he goes to court to sue."

"Despicable!" Xiao Guotao was furious, and was about to stand up from his wheelchair. "Chen Guanfu, you are really unscrupulous. I was so honest with you because I thought you had a pure heart for Tianqing glazed porcelain! You, you are too much!"

Chen Guanfu refuted with a stern face: "Who is going too far? Who is unscrupulous? If you are a gentleman, why didn't you contact me as soon as you got my daughter's relics? You just wanted to take them for yourself!"

"You..." Xiao Guotao was so angry that he couldn't speak, "You are making up stories!" "Grandpa, don't be angry." Zhang Moyan supported Xiao Guotao and comforted him. She was about to speak, but Xiao Xingyu held her back and shook his head. He said to Chen Guanfu, "Professor, it turns out that you came here to collect debts today. We really miscalculated and actually welcomed a tiger. But I'm very sorry that we can't share your daughter's relics with you."

Fujiwara Nanako and Tanaka Ryuichi asked in unison: "Why?"

Xiao Xingyu stared at Chen Guanfu without blinking, and shrugged: "Because we have already smashed the things."

"What!" Tanaka Takashi was shocked and said, "You broke the plum vase?"

The next second, the air was eerily quiet.

The silence lasted for a minute.

Xiao Xingyu smiled at Chen Guanfu, and Tanaka Ryuichi, who had just exclaimed, froze, realizing belatedly that he had made a fatal mistake.

"Mr. Tanaka, how do you know that my daughter's relic is a plum vase?" Chen Guanfu's voice sounded coldly behind Tanaka Ryuichi.

"I..." Tanaka Ryuichi had just said one word when he suddenly straightened his body and froze in shock.

"Ah!!!" Fujiwara Nanako screamed loudly.

"No!——" Zhang Moyan, Xiao Xingyu and Xiao Guotao spoke almost at the same time.

……

Tanaka Ryuichi looked down at his stomach and saw that a dagger had pierced through him. Scarlet blood was flowing from the tip of the knife onto the floor...

Blood was flowing from the corner of Tanaka Takashi's mouth. He turned his head to look at the murderer behind him and asked in Japanese: "Professor Chen, are you crazy?"

Fujiwara Nanako was so frightened that she knelt on the ground, looking up at the scene in front of her in exhaustion.

Chen Guanfu turned the dagger in his hand, his gentle features expressionless, and he still replied in Chinese: "The one who followed my daughter to Luoyang more than 20 years ago was instigated by you, right? The one who chased her and eventually killed her was also you, right? Mr. Tanaka, you finally can't pretend anymore!"

"Sir, please let him go... You can't do this... You are making a mistake!" Fujiwara Nanako cried and trembled, grabbing Chen Guanfu's trouser legs and begging.

"Get lost!" Chen Guanfu kicked Fujiwara Nanako away. "You are just pretending. Do you still want to act? For so many years you have been nothing but a puppet to monitor me. Now is the time to end everything!"

Fujiwara Nanako was completely stunned by this kick. When she came to her senses, she shook her head and denied it: "No, sir, that's just what they meant, but I never thought of monitoring you. From the first day I became your assistant, I treated you sincerely, please believe me!"

Fujiwara Nanako hugged Chen Guanfu's thighs, and Tanaka Ryuichi took the opportunity to push Chen Guanfu away, and fell to the ground, covering his wound with a knife. He tried to pick up the phone that fell on the ground, but was kicked away by Chen Guanfu. He turned around and crawled towards Xiao Guotao and Zhang Moyan, who were stunned by the sudden change, wailing.

“Save me, save me… Call the police… Call an ambulance for me… Please!”

  Xiao Xingyu looked at Chen Guanfu, and Zhang Moyan instantly understood that he and Chen Guanfu were cooperating!

She didn't know whether they had a plan beforehand, but Xiao Xingyu did say that he would force out all those hiding in the dark, and then today Chen Guanfu brought them directly to Xiao Sheng, and left them in such an isolated and helpless state...

Zhang Moyan was terrified when she thought about it. It was too crazy. She picked up her phone and called the police: "Hello?"

"Chen Guanfu!"

Xiao Guotao's scolding interrupted her call. She turned around and saw that Chen Guanfu had pressed Tanaka Ryuichi to the ground again, and the cold blade stabbed into Tanaka Ryuichi again!

"Why?" Tanaka Takashi gushed out blood. "Don't you want our support? If you kill me, who will help you to make celadon porcelain again?"

Chen Guanfu said coldly: "You misjudged me. Since the day I lost my daughter, my mission in this life has been to find the murderer who killed her and avenge her!"

As he said this, he ruthlessly struck again with the sword!

Tanaka Ryuichi's eyes bulged out, and he spat a mouthful of blood on Chen Guanfu's face. Chen Guanfu raised his hand to block it, but in the blink of an eye, Tanaka Ryuichi pulled out the dagger in his stomach and slashed it across Chen Guanfu's neck...

Suddenly, blood splattered everywhere, and Tanaka Ryuichi's face was covered with blood. Then his hand loosened and with a "clang", both the man and the dagger fell to the ground.

"No! No!" Fujiwara Nanako screamed and crawled towards Chen Guanfu, "Sir!"

"Hello, comrade, may I ask what difficulties you are encountering..." The voice of the female police officer answering the phone was asking. Zhang Moyan held the phone like a wooden stake, his mind going blank.

The next moment, she rushed towards Chen Guanfu, and together with Fujiwara Nanako, she used her hands and clothes to cover the surging wound on Chen Guanfu's neck: "No, don't die... Please don't die..."

Apart from repeating this instinctive sentence, Zhang Moyan could not say anything else.

"Mo Yan, let me do it!" Xiao Xingyu stepped over, bent down and tried to pick up Chen Guanfu from the ground, but was stopped by Chen Guanfu.

Chen Guanfu stretched out his hand weakly, holding Zhang Moyan with his bloodstained hand, and said with difficulty: "Xiao Qi, your mother is a good child. It's all my fault. She doesn't want to lie, but she can't bear to leave me. Don't hate her. Hate me if you want to hate someone!"

Zhang Moyan's tears flowed freely, and she cried so hard at this moment: "I don't hate you, I don't hate anyone, please don't talk, please stay alive, okay? Grandpa, please stay alive..."

"Take me to see Dr. Huang Wei from Shenhai People's Hospital. He can save me, Huang Wei can save me..." Chen Guanfu's eyes were dull, and he was only exhaling air but not inhaling.

After saying this, his hands dropped and fell into the pool of blood around him.

"Ms. Fujiwara!" Xiao Guotao suddenly jumped off the wheelchair and stretched out his hands behind Xiao Xingyu and Zhang Moyan.

The smell of blood became stronger in front of Zhuang Jing's azure-glazed porcelain. Zhang Moyan's heart almost stopped beating. She opened her mouth and dared not look back.

At this time, the door of the exhibition hall was broken open, and people rushed in one after another. People were coming and going in a hurry, and Zhang Moyan was held aside by Xiao Xingyu.

Suddenly, she remembered something and grabbed Xiao Xingyu like a child, helplessly and anxiously saying, "I still don't know where my mother's grave is. They haven't told me yet!"
