Chapter 1130: The mastermind behind the scenes
The appearance of the dragon robe basically announced the end of the competition.
Hoxha was the only one who did not show his products. He seemed very calm and only lightly introduced the bronze vessels he bought.
It was also obvious that the other guests were not interested, so they walked off the stage.
The host was just going through the motions.
Finally, the staff came in and moved all the cultural relics away.
He smiled and said to everyone: "Dear guests, the review will take a while. You can drink and chat here. Wait for a while, and the answer will be given to you before 9 o'clock."
Lin Ran asked: "Where are they going to move their things?"
"Of course I showed it to the experts."
“Who are the experts behind the scenes?”
Before, Ke Liang must have been indifferent.
But now, after thinking for a moment, he pulled Lin Ran aside and whispered: "It is said that he is a senior official of the Ministry of Culture and Literature. Don't tell this matter to the outside world."
Ministry of Chinese Language and Culture...
The full name is the National Cultural Relics Management Department.
It is the superior department of the museum and the archaeological team, but I did not expect that they would participate in such a private gathering.
However, Lin Ran felt relieved now.
He was also worried that the treasure hunt was to blame. The people who managed the national cultural relics would not have to worry about the whereabouts of these cultural relics falling into the hands of others.
The relationship between the rich second generation is not friendly.
Everyone was sitting in their own seats. Although they were curious about Lin Ran, no one came up to say hello.
Lin Ran looked around and found that the man in sunglasses and the host were missing.
It was nine o'clock when it was said to be nine o'clock. The host returned to the venue with a cheerful face and a piece of paper in his hand.
He cleared his throat and prepared to read out the final results.
Not surprisingly, Ke Liang's dragon robe won the championship with a final estimate of 30.
Ke Liang hugged Lin Ran excitedly, regardless of his own image.
He finally won. The Fan family had always been suppressed in the competition, and he finally stood out today.
"This tournament has come to a successful conclusion. Thank you for your participation. We will see you next year." The host announced the formal end of the tournament.
That's it?
Lin Ran thought there would be awards or something at the end, but he didn't expect it to end in a hurry.
Fan Jian couldn't stand the atmosphere inside, so he ran out of the venue.
Ke Liang held Lin Ran's hand excitedly: "Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin, thank you so much for this time!"
Lin Ran waved his hand calmly: "I will naturally do what I promised you, but the dragon robe..."
"Don't worry about that. The organizer will send it to the hotel before I return to the capital."
"Okay." Lin Ran just reminded him not to be taken advantage of by the organizer. The dragon robe is a national cultural relic and cannot be traded privately.
They took advantage of this and bought a screen and gave away a dragon robe.
Finally, the dragon robe must be dedicated to the museum.
"Let's go celebrate!" Ke Liang couldn't hold back the joy in his heart and said, "Call the big guy you brought too!"
After the battle, he was naturally relaxed.
But just as he was about to leave, the man in sunglasses and the host from before came to them.
"Mr. Ke, are you ready to celebrate?" The host looked at Ke Liang with a smile.
Ke Liang was in a good mood and nodded, "Will you come with us?"
He doesn't mind wooing such a big shot.
But the host shook his head and said: "You can leave. But Mr. Lin, you have to stay for a while."
Lin Ran was startled, but Ke Liang had already stopped in front of him.
"This is my treasure appraiser. Why don't you ask for my permission when you look for him?" Ke Liang already regarded Lin Ran as one of his own, so he naturally wanted to protect him.
Gao Peng, a man in sunglasses, whispered something into Ke Liang's ear, and then took out an ID.
After seeing the witness, Ke Liang was dumbfounded and stayed where he was.
The host smiled and patted Lin Ran on the shoulder and said, "Mr. Lin, do you want to know who the authority is? Come with me now."
"But..." Lin Ran really wanted to meet the big shot behind him, but he was worried that he would be in danger, so he shook his head and said, "It's too late today, how about another day?"
The host seemed to read his mind.
"Haha, don't worry, Mr. Lin. In our territory, treasure hunting will not make any waves."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Ran looked at him in astonishment.
He actually knew about the treasure hunt party.
"Mr. Ke has agreed. You don't have to worry. It's just a meeting at the hotel. We will ensure your safety."
Lin Ran glanced at Ke Liang, wondering what documents he had just seen.
But judging from his shocked expression, the other party had a lot of background.
They come, the security.
Lin Ran agreed to his request.
"Let's go then."
The man in sunglasses and the host walked in tandem, seemingly worried that Lin Ran would slip away.
Ke Yu and Jiang Li just went to the bathroom. When they came out, they only saw Ke Liang standing there in a daze.
Ke Yu quickly asked: "Brother, where is Lin Ran?"
Ke Liang has not recovered from the shock just now.
Ke Yu said: "Did something happen to Lin Ran? Should we call the police!?"
She knew that Fan Jian was not a broad-minded person, and if she offended him, she might use unfair means to retaliate.
Ke Liang quickly waved his hand: "No! Don't call the police! It's okay, Lin Ran just went to meet a friend. Let's go back first..."
The celebration party naturally fell through.
Ke Liang was still worried about how to explain to Guan Yun that the other party's bodyguard was waiting downstairs.
Then I thought, the other party was from the Ministry of Chinese Language and Literature, they should explain it themselves, why bother to get involved!
On the other side, Lin Ran was led up and down the stairs by the two of them, and around to the fifteenth floor.
He felt strange, why take such a detour?
But when I looked back, I saw that there was no other way except the stairs.
The host explained: "This is a hidden restaurant that is not open to the public. You can only walk in by following a specific path."
In front of them, two sturdy men in black appeared.
Gao Peng showed his ID and they made way.
The door was slowly pushed open.
I saw a big table inside, a man with a Chinese character face, holding a wine glass.
Seeing Lin Ran and the others coming in, they also stood up.
He is about 50 years old, and the years have left traces of vicissitudes on his face, but he looks very energetic.
"Mr. Lin, I've finally waited for you."
Lin Ranzheng didn't know how to reply.
The host introduced: "This is Lu Zhengyang, the Minister of the Ministry of Culture and Culture, and the designated expert for this treasure fight."
Minister of the Ministry of Culture, Culture and Sports...
This was the first time Lin Ran saw such a big shot. He was several levels higher than Yuan Qianyun's father.
only..
Why would he organize such an event?And it's so mysterious.
Lu Zhengyang dragged out the chair next to him and motioned to Lin Ran to sit here.
After Lin Ran walked into the hall, the door was slammed shut.
Everything looked solemn and solemn, and even Lin Ran couldn't help but become nervous.
