Chapter 464: Is This Private Museum Xu Mo

Hexi Road 387.

A long queue has already formed in front of this SirenBowuguan.

News that the SirenBowuguan houses the Dream of the Red Chamber The Missing Forty Chapters Cao Xueqin Original Manuscript spread like wildfire, sparking the curiosity of many literature enthusiasts.

Because so many people want to go inside, the museum cannot handle such a massive crowd, so those who wish to glimpse the Dream of the Red Chamber The Missing Forty Chapters Cao Xueqin Original Manuscript must line up at the entrance.

The number of admirers is uncountable, causing a traffic jam that blocks the entire road.

…

A police car stopped at the intersection of HexiLu.

The car can only go this far; to go further inside one must get out and push through the crowd.

Han Fei came on his own and didn't call Xu Mo, after all it's not a big deal and doesn't require many people.

After getting out, Han Fei looked at the familiar street before him and involuntarily frowned.

He felt as if he had been here before.

"Forget it, I've been to many places, I don't want to think about it."

Han Fei shook his head and muttered to himself that he'd simply stop thinking about it; being a police officer means constantly traveling, and he's been to so many places that most streets feel familiar, so there's nothing to fuss over.

In fact, if Han Fei examined the street scenery carefully and thought it through, it wouldn't be hard to deduce that the only SirenBowuguan on this street is the one owned by Xu Mo.

However, Han Fei didn't ponder it, because he thought it more important to push forward and see what the SirenBowuguan was like.

"Excuse me, excuse me, I'm a police officer. I suspect the SirenBowuguan inside is engaged in false advertising; I need to go in and check," Han Fei said while pushing forward, invoking his police status to cut in quickly.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he spoke, someone nearby sneered.

"Heh, another one. In this short time seven or eight people have used this excuse to cut in line. Do you have any shame?"

"What a fake… why does everyone love impersonating police officers? Do you really think we're easy to fool?"

"Exactly, do you think we're stupid? This trick… even a dog would shake its head. Just go queue properly at the back!"

Moreover, a sneaky man with thief‑eyebrows and mouse eyes crept up to Han Fei and whispered.

"Buddy, that trick doesn't work; I tried just now, they won't let you cut. Just line up, you can stand behind me, don't cut."

Han Fei: "???".

"Damn, I'm really a police officer!"

To prove his identity, he produced his Police Badge and also pulled out his car key and pressed it.

The next second, a police car parked not far behind flashed its lights.

"I'm really a police officer, not lying."

Saying that, Han Fei looked at the thief‑eyed man.

"You just said you were impersonating a police officer to cut in line?"

Man: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

Bad luck, the fake police officer got caught by a real one!

After seeing Han Fei pull out his Police Badge and the flashing police car, the surrounding people instantly believed his officer status and, without a word, cleared a path for him.

Fortunately, Han Fei was in a hurry to check the situation, and the man's impersonation didn't involve any wrongdoing, just trying to cut in line, so Han Fei didn't press the issue.

He only gave the impersonator a verbal lecture before letting him go.

While explaining, Han Fei kept moving inward; with his Police Badge in hand, he quickly reached the middle of the road, and after another two hundred meters or so, the SirenBowuguan was ahead.

Here, Han Fei could already see the SirenBowuguan's façade.

With a single glance he recognized it: isn't this the SirenBowuguan owned by Xu Mo?!

Han Fei was stunned.

If the SirenBowuguan belonged to someone else, Han Fei would assume it was likely false advertising, a gimmick to lure people to spend money on a visit for profit.

After all, many scholars and experts believe the Dream of the Red Chamber The Missing Forty Chapters have long been completely lost, so how could they suddenly appear out of nowhere?

But if the SirenBowuguan is Xu Mo's, the situation is entirely different.

The longer Han Fei spends time with Xu Mo, the more he finds Xu Mo inscrutable; Xu Mo is an odd fellow who seems capable of any impossible feat.

The fact that Xu Mo might have the Dream of the Red Chamber The Missing Forty Chapters Cao Xueqin Original Manuscript… isn't impossible!

Han Fei didn't overthink and immediately took out his phone to call Xu Mo.

"Xu Mo, do you have the Dream of the Red Chamber The Missing Forty Chapters?" Han Fei asked as soon as the call connected.

"Yes," Xu Mo replied without denying. "Did you see the file I sent you? How's that, surprised?"

"What file? What do you mean? Are we talking about the same thing?"

"The file I sent you this morning, the photos inside are the content of the Dream of the Red Chamber The Missing Forty Chapters. You said your father‑in‑law likes it, so I specifically took pictures and sent them to you. You didn't look at the file I sent?"

After Xu Mo's reminder, Han Fei finally recalled that Xu Mo had indeed sent him a file that morning and even came to his office to remind him to take a look.

However, Han Fei had forgotten about it and never opened the file.

"The file you sent me contains the Dream of the Red Chamber The Missing Forty Chapters?"

"Yes."

"Hold on a sec…"

Saying that, Han Fei moved his phone away from his ear, opened WeChat, and retrieved the file Xu Mo had sent that morning.

Opening it, he saw that it was filled with photos.

The paper in the photos was yellowed, clearly old, and the title on the first page read: Chapter 81…

Han Fei: "!!!"
