"I am Lu Bowen, a professor in the History Department of Tsinghua and Peking Universities."

Looking at the text information on the note, Yu Wanwan was puzzled for a while before realizing that this was the person Shi Yi had said he would take her to meet.

Did Shi Yi give her contact information to the other party in advance?

Without the slightest hesitation, Yu Wanwan clicked "accept" to add her as a friend.

Unexpectedly, the other party turned out to be a history professor from Tsinghua or Peking University.

"You're Yu Wanwan, right? I'm Lu Bowen, a professor in the History Department at Tsinghua and Peking Universities. I heard from Shi Yi that you have antiques from the Dasheng Dynasty. I wonder if you still have any unsold antiques on hand? Would it be convenient for me to take a look?"

"It's okay if you don't have one now. If you do in the future, could you consider me first?"

"No matter how much money Shi Yi offers from now on, I'll always pay 30% more than him. Is that alright with you?"

"Also, I heard you're a senior in high school now. Have you decided where you want to go to university and what major you want to study?"

"What do you think of the history departments at Tsinghua and Peking Universities? I've looked into your grades, and you'll definitely have no problem getting into Tsinghua or Peking University."

"What do you think of me? If you apply to the history department of Tsinghua or Peking University, can I be your teacher?"

"If you let me be your teacher, I guarantee I'll give you full marks for all your class participation."

"..."

Yu Wanwan looked at the messages one after another and suspiciously clicked to look at this person's Moments.

Is this really a professor from the history department of Tsinghua or Peking University?

Why do you talk so much? You talk like a con artist.

He only posted one message on his WeChat Moments.

And it was only posted today.

a photo.

Yu Wanwan still remembers it.

It was the painting she sold to Shi Yi, which also bore the calligraphy of the Dasheng Emperor.

The photo was accompanied by the text: "By the Emperor of Dasheng! This is not a forgery, but a genuine painting created by the Emperor of the Dasheng Dynasty more than two thousand years ago. The Dasheng Dynasty really existed in history."

Having seen photos of this painting makes it seem like I really know Shi Yi.

What he said was actually a little bit true.

But maybe he was just a cleaner in Shi Yi's office who happened to take the photos, and also happened to know the price of the painting and that she sold it to Shi Yi. Then he deliberately faked a post on social media to deceive her.

Anyway, she'd rather believe he was a fraud.

I don't want to believe that professors from Tsinghua and Peking Universities talk so much and fawn over each other.

She was an orphan in modern times, and having seen so many news stories about society, she is now extremely vigilant.

She couldn't tell anything from her WeChat Moments, so she thought for a moment and opened her phone's search engine.

Type Lu Bowen's name in the text.

A long string of information was quickly found.

Lu Bowen, a native of Beijing, is the Vice President of Peking University, Director of the School of Humanities, Chairman of the Academic Committee of the Department of History, a first-level professor of humanities, a Boya Chair Professor of Peking University, a professor in the Department of History of Peking University, a doctoral supervisor, and so on.

If this is a scammer, then this scammer is quite low-key, having only impersonated an ordinary professor.

None of them mentioned that they were vice presidents of Tsinghua or Peking University, etc.

Skipping over the series of titles, Yu Wanwan curiously clicked to view Lu Bowen's profile.

Then, she became even more suspicious that the person who had just added her was a scammer.

She clicked into his profile and saw that Lu Bowen was still the head of the Lu family in Beijing, the very family that even children in China knew about.

Chinese people can see different members of the Lu family on the evening news almost every day; they all come from that Lu family in Beijing.

Legend has it that if the head of the Lu family stomped his foot, the whole of China would tremble.

Okay, it's confirmed. That person who talks so much that he's almost fawning is definitely a liar.

Why pretend to be some big shot of this level?

This is truly audacious and reckless.

Yu Wanwan returned to the chat app, clicked on the "liar's" profile picture, and planned to delete him.

He was brave, but she was timid.

She didn't want to be implicated by him.

Just as her finger touched the delete button, Shi Yi sent a message: "I gave your contact information to Professor Lu. He is the professor I told you about who knows the history of the Great Sheng Kingdom."

Just because I sent him a few photos, he begged me to give him your contact information.

I think it would be good if you could get along well with him.

"He's a very easy-going person. Try talking to him first. Don't be too nervous. If you have any questions, ask me."

"If I'm too busy to find someone, I can always look for Lu Hui first."

Yu Wanwan: "..."

She clicked on the "scammer's" profile picture, opened his personal information page, took a screenshot, and sent it to Shi Yi.

"Is this the Professor Lu you're talking about?"

"Is he usually very talkative? Does he send more than a dozen messages to someone at once?"

"You mean, it might even involve a bit of licking?"

Shi Yi quickly sent a laughing emoji while covering her mouth.

"He is a fan of the Dasheng Dynasty. He was the first history professor to discover that the Dasheng Dynasty existed in history, and he spent more than ten years studying the history of the Dasheng Dynasty. Therefore, he inevitably gets excited whenever he sees an object belonging to the Dasheng Dynasty."

"He doesn't have bad intentions, at least not towards you. He would never have any bad intentions. If anyone wanted to harm you, he would probably be the first person to protect you."

Seeing Shi Yi's explanation, Yu Wanwan completely believed that the person who called himself Lu Bowen was not a fraud.

When Lu Bowen saw that she wasn't replying, he kept sending her messages.

They had already promised that as long as Yu Wanwan went to Beijing, they would arrange her household registration, a house, a car, and even maids and bodyguards.

If she didn't reply soon, she felt he might immediately promise to give her a tenth of the Lu family's wealth.

Yu Wanwan replied with a "囧" emoji.

"Wanwan, you finally replied to me! I thought you had left because of something."

"It's good that you haven't left. Then when would be a convenient time for me to come over and see your other Dasheng Dynasty antiques?"

"If it's convenient for you, I can fly there overnight."

"Don't worry, as long as your stuff is genuine, the price I offer will definitely not let you lose out."

Yu Wanwan really wanted to ask if his phone was connected to his brainwaves so that he could type directly with his thoughts.

Otherwise, how could it have been so fast?

Before she could even finish typing a single sentence, he had already sent several messages.

With that typing speed, it's a shame she's not a writer for online novels.

Yu Wanwan finally finished editing when Lu Bowen sent his sixth unread message.

"Professor Lu, if it's convenient for you, you can come see me tomorrow afternoon. I have some things on hand that I'd like to ask you to take a look at."

They'll deliver the water storage tanks tomorrow morning.

I should be able to relax in the afternoon.

In that case, she'll have to take a whole day off tomorrow.

"Okay, okay, I'll arrange what I'm doing right away and fly over this afternoon. I'll come see you tomorrow afternoon."

"Then my apprentice and I will have a good talk."

Yu Wanwan?

Master and apprentice?

Who are the master and disciple?
