On the day of death, just after noon, on a flight from the anode country, a white-haired old man hurriedly stepped off the plane.

As soon as he stepped out of the airport, he was greeted by someone who came up to greet him.

"Curator! Thank you for flying all the way to this small place. ”

"Walter, don't waste time, what's going on now? Do they really say that our lovelorn princess looks like a fake? ”

It turned out that the old man's name was Steve, and he was the current director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

In front of him, he was greeted by the deputy curator Walter who had a conflict with Lin Chen yesterday.

Last night, after receiving a call from Walter, Steve immediately booked a flight for the early morning, and then flew for more than ten hours before finally arriving in Yanguo.

And the reason why he made such a big move was naturally for the statue of the lovelorn princess.

Steve is a big fan of Jasco's work, and when he hears that his favorite lovelorn princess statue has been damaged, he is naturally furious.

But this was not what made Steve the most angry, what made him even more angry was the news that came from Walter later.

Someone in Yanguo actually claimed that the broken lovelorn princess seemed to be fake!

This kind of remarks, in Steve's eyes, is a serious insult to the Metropolitan Museum of Art! It is a great slander of his own artistic level!

Since the statue of the lovelorn princess was acquired by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, except for the time when it was out for exhibition, the rest of the time has been repeatedly studied by Steve.

He asked himself that he had studied the princess statue thoroughly, and that he had spent years on it.

Now some people even say that this princess looks fake, doesn't this also mean that all these years, Steve is doing all the useless work? How can this make him accept?!

"Curator, that's exactly what the other party said! They also said that they would put the real statue on display today, and we could identify it when the time came! Walter replied.

Steve's face was silent for a while, and then he said, "Let's go, let's go over and have a look now!" ”

"Now? Curator, do you want to deal with Anthony and their affairs first......"

Steve directly refused: "No! I asked you to come here just to take a good look at the exhibits in the museum, and Anthony's stupid people don't take good care of things for me, but instead play with women, they deserve it! ”

"But the curator, Anthony's uncle donated a lot of money to the museum after all......"

“…… That's it, I'll say a few words then, now go to Yanwu University first, I want to confirm with my own eyes what the so-called princess statue is genuine?! ”

So, the two immediately got into the car and rushed towards Yanwu University.

At that time, it was the venue of the Western Sculpture Exhibition of Yanwu University.

Due to an accident yesterday, the exhibition is temporarily suspended today.

However, in the exhibition hall where there was no audience, there were several teachers from Yanwu University at this moment, as well as President Xia who looked tired, as well as Lin Chen and others.

They gathered around a flannel-covered sculpture and waited for the Metropolitan Museum of Art to arrive.

As for the things behind the flannel, most of the teachers at Yanwu University already knew that behind the flannel was the real lovelorn princess statue hidden in his hands that Lin Chen claimed yesterday.

It's just that whether that's true or not, because no one can be sure of the statue behind the flannel.

Someone wanted to ask Principal Xia, but the latter waved his hand tiredly, and said in a hoarse voice: "Don't guess, it's useless what we say, let the people from the Metropolitan Museum of Art make the judgment." ”

After saying that, he glanced at Lin Chen again, feeling apprehensive in his heart.

Last night, he and another art teacher stayed up almost all night, watching Lin Chen carve a stone into the image of the lovelorn princess they remembered.

In the eyes of the art teacher, this matter is simply a little incredible.

Because Lin Chen really only took one night to complete the sculpture!

In the morning, when the sculpture was completed, Principal Xia and the art teacher had already confirmed it with their own eyes.

At least Principal Xia himself can't see the slightest problem.

He never thought that Lin Chen, who was talented in military chess, would have such attainments in sculpture, at that level, at least the art teacher around him was already ashamed of himself.

Now the only question is whether the statue forged by Lin Chen can really fool the people of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

However, seeing that Lin Chen can forge such a lifelike statue in one night, there should be no problem if he wants to successfully fool the people of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, right?

Principal Xia suddenly realized that his current mood seemed to be quite similar to those students who cheated on exams......

Alas......

This Lin Chen, knowing that he was actually going to forge a fake to fool the Metropolitan Museum of Art, should have been happy and directly agreed to compensate the Metropolitan Museum of Art, at least so that he didn't have to be so anxious as he is now.

Just when President Xia's heart was pounding, Director Steve of the Metropolitan Museum of Art finally arrived.

The teacher in charge of reception at the school stepped forward and wanted to greet him first, but the other party directly refused: "I'm sorry everyone, polite things are forgiven, I took a plane for more than ten hours, not to be polite with you, who is the one who claims to have a real lovelorn princess?" ”

Hearing this, everyone subconsciously looked at Lin Chen.

Steve followed their gaze and also fell on Lin Chen: "Sir, you are the one who claims to have the statue of a lovelorn princess?" I'm Steve at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. ”

"Lin Chen." Lin Chen introduced himself.

"So, Mr. Lin, behind you is the real lovelorn princess?"

"That's right."

"In that case, why don't you quickly lift the cloth?!" Deputy Curator Walter shouted loudly from the sidelines.

Hearing this, some teachers really wanted to lift the cloth for them.

But at this time, Steve raised his hand to stop them: "Wait! ”

"Before I see the statue in person, I have a question for Mr. Lin......

"Mr. Lin, you said that your statue is real, but what proof do you have?"

"See for yourself." Lin Chen replied.

Steve shook his head: "No, I want to ask Mr. Lin, do you know the origin of this statue?" Since you said that the statue in your hand is real, then you must also know the secret of the birth of this lovelorn princess statue, right? If you don't even know this, I don't think there's any need to confirm it, it must be fake. ”

Buzz!

No one thought that the first step for the people at the Metropolitan Museum of Art to question would be to start with the other party's understanding of the lovelorn princess statue.

And this just happened to hit the blind spot of many people.

Most of the teachers at the scene were familiar with the lovelorn princess statue of Jasco, who knew that this sculpture was known as the work of the Western sculpture master Jasco's life's work.

But as for the origin of this sculpture, it seems that not many people really know it.
