"But, it was that nerd. He said that he was not interested in antiques and wanted to go into business, so he had to leave the museum. Because of this issue, the two of us quarreled."

When Tang Lanxuan said this, his expression became more solemn.

He looked at Lin Ran and said: "Lin Ran, actually I don't dislike him because he is going out to do business. It's not that you don't do well."

Lin Ran smiled, he didn't mind this matter.

"By the way, since you can meet Chen Cheng, I also want to ask you a favor."

"Tell me, teacher."

"Help me capture Chen Cheng and bring him back to see me." Tang Lanxuan said seriously.

"What?" Lin Ran wondered if he heard wrongly, "Teacher, isn't he your student? And I think Chen Cheng will definitely not like you! You can just go to him directly."

Lin Ran asked with some confusion. Since Tang Lanxuan wanted to see Chen Cheng, Chen Cheng should have the same idea, otherwise he wouldn't have returned to the capital.

"By the way, what kind of business is he doing?" Lin Ran thought of the important point. There are only two possibilities for work that can make Tang Lanxuan angry.

Either it's smuggling or it's counterfeiting.

"He didn't even tell me when he returned to the capital. He was obviously avoiding me. If I went to find him, he would definitely not see me, so I had to rely on you to bring him here. Lin Ran, this matter is very serious. Abrupt, it’s natural that you don’t want to do it, I’m sorry.”

After Tang Lanxuan finished speaking, he leaned on the chair, his attitude a little depressed.

"Teacher, I can give it a try. But I want to know what happened between you? Just because Chen Cheng went out to do business, he annoyed you, and then he was unwilling to accept new disciples. I don't understand this statement." Lin Ran raised his inner question.He found it very strange that the master and apprentice had really weirder ideas than the other.

According to Tang Lanxuan, he only fell in love with her because of her ability to identify treasures and her attitude towards others.

The reason why he likes Chen Cheng is because he appreciates his appraisal ability.

He has never mentioned leaving his job to start a business, so why does he dislike Chen Cheng and favor himself instead?

Lin Ran felt very strange and couldn't understand it.

Tang Lanxuan explained: "Lin Ran, you may have misunderstood one thing. Although he is indeed very good, it does not mean that his ability is superior to yours. At least in terms of treasure appraisal, you have far surpassed him."

"Excellent, but teacher, you still didn't answer the key point." Lin Ran asked with some confusion. Tang Lanxuan was not a man who did things coyly. At least when he asked questions before, he would go directly to the core of the problem, unlike Now he talks about him equally.

"Alas, he used the knowledge he learned from me to make huge profits for himself, and I will never tolerate it." Tang Lanxuan clenched his fist.

"What do you mean?" Lin Ran asked confused.

"You are also my apprentice, Tang Lanxuan. Will I tell you the details of the antique, and tell you why this antique is made in this way, and how the ancients made it?" Tang Lanxuan asked.

In this way, Lin Ran roughly guessed the result.

Sure enough, just as he thought, Chen Cheng learned the details of antique production from Tang Lanxuan, and then left the Palace Museum and embarked on the path of counterfeiting.

No wonder Tang Lanxuan was so angry about him that he decided not to accept any more disciples.

Indeed, people's personalities are all kinds of weird, and everyone has their own pursuits.

It does not mean that bad people are stupid. If a top student like Chen Cheng takes the wrong path, he will often cause more harm than ordinary bad people.

"Teacher, why do you know these things? Did he tell you when he was lying?" Lin Ran still had one last question in his mind.

Chen Cheng would not have told Tang Lanxuan when he left the Palace Museum: "Teacher, I am going to make fakes and sell them for money. In order not to implicate the museum, I have to choose to leave my job."

It was difficult for Lin Ran to simulate this kind of scene in his mind.

After Tang Lanxuan heard this, he burst out laughing.

In fact, he himself had never thought of such a thing.

"Chen Cheng is really outstanding!" Tang Lanxuan sighed and finally gave his evaluation, "Not only does he have good academic performance, he is also very talented and has a very good grasp of details."

"It's just that he is different from what you think."

"Sometimes you may think that he is an upright person, but in fact, that is just his surface."

"He also has a very dark personality hidden in his heart. He did tell me that he was going to make fakes, and he bluntly told me, 'Teacher, you will never recognize the things I make.'"

When Tang Lanxuan heard this sentence, he was very angry and said: "Now is not the time to joke. If you are short of money, I can find a way to help you apply for a subsidy. If you really don't want to work in the museum anymore, you can also apply. Resign, but if you dare to use the knowledge I learned to do evil, I will never forgive you."

Tang Lanxuan gave an ultimatum, but in fact, he secretly thought that Chen Cheng was just joking with him.

This student often did some very bizarre things when he was in school.

For example, he likes to boil ant nests with boiling water and dissect frogs, not for any research, but just for his own pleasure.

Most of the time, Chen Cheng is still very sunny, but I don't know why sometimes his personality is particularly paranoid.

Lin Ran frowned when he heard this.

There is still this past incident.

Lin Ran is not an innocent person. He knows very well that simply looking at the bright appearance cannot determine whether a person is truly mentally healthy. Some people just have obsessive-compulsive disorder and force themselves to act very upright, but in fact their hearts are full of mental health. Thoughts of beasts.

"What's the most ridiculous thing?" Tang Lanxuan sighed again.

"After hearing my warning, Chen Cheng smiled and said, 'Teacher, isn't the purpose of treasure appraisal to identify real treasures? If the treasures I made cannot accompany you to identify them, does that mean that I have replaced that history? '."

"When he said this, I gave him a slap in the face. This kind of person has no respect for history and life. I agreed to his request to leave the museum and warned him not to do anything excessive in the future. Yes, there is reincarnation in the way of heaven, so don’t do to others what you don’t want others to do to you.”

Tang Lanxuan continued: "Since then, Chen Cheng left the Palace Museum, and I didn't take it too seriously. But a year later, I received a package in the museum."

"The package was sent anonymously and it said it was donated to the museum."

"When I opened it, I found something inside..." Tang Lanxuan paused for a moment, then continued: "It's a six-mountain mirror from Chu State."
