Chapter 581 Pouring Out His Sorrows - Uncle's Passionate Outburst

Gao Dongxu naturally relished the women vying for his favor, as it brought him immense psychological satisfaction. The feeling of being fawned over by numerous beauties greatly satisfied his vanity and ego.

If a bunch of beautiful women were vying to please you, would you refuse?
Only a fool would refuse; when the clam and the crane fight, the fisherman benefits!

Of course, competition among lovers has its benefits, but it's important to maintain a proper balance and set boundaries.

Holding the beautiful and adorable Su Yan, who had evolved into a green tea bitch, Gao Dongxu gently stroked her slender waist, reached out and lifted her delicate chin again, raising an eyebrow and smiling, "If I asked you to learn Mongolian, how long would it take you to learn and fully master it?"

"With a teacher, I can master it in about seven days." Su Yan said with a confident smile when talking about her strengths in learning.

"Okay, after you return to Beijing this time, find a Mongolian language teacher and learn Mongolian as soon as possible, preferably Old Mongolian. I have an important notebook with contents written in French and Mongolian. I need you to translate it after you learn Mongolian. Is that alright?"

Gao Dongxu smiled and said to Su Yan, who nodded with bright eyes and said, "No problem, give me some time, I guarantee I'll translate it well."

"Alright, then I'll leave this to you." Gao Dongxu said with a satisfied smile. Although he could find someone to translate separately, since the shamanistic magic was usable, and they would be going to Outer Mongolia sooner or later, Su Yan would learn Mongolian, so there would be no need to hire a translator then.

Ru Qing glanced at Su Yan, who seemed a little smug, pursed her lips, her beautiful eyes sparkling, and asked, "Boss, what are you planning to do with that idiot Coco?"

"Hehe, Coco's emotional intelligence is a bit low, but her knowledge and appraisal skills are by no means lacking. Given time, she will definitely become an expert in the appraisal field. Therefore, I plan to have her join 749 as the first talent recruited, specifically responsible for the appraisal and research of cultural relics." Gao Dongxu said with a smile, his eyes sparkling.

After hearing the decision, the three women couldn't help but roll their eyes. They were truly impressed by Gao Dongxu's idea of ​​getting both talent and opportunity.

Well, that certainly fits his criteria for choosing assistants and helpers: they not only need to be capable, but they also need to be extremely capable!
For research-oriented scholars like Coco, a civil service position is always the best option for them.

There's a saying that goes, "The end of the universe is the organization." Of course, that might be a bit of an exaggeration, but it's enough to illustrate the importance of the organization.

There's no way around it, because a government job is just too appealing, the benefits are just too good, you can stand out from the crowd, and you can earn the respect of the people.

So when Gao Dongxu shared his ideas with Coco, who had become rosy-cheeked, fair-skinned, and had sparkling eyes after resting and nourishing herself, Coco readily agreed without hesitation.

She was very happy and satisfied to be a member of the secret department and to be able to work with Go Dong-wook.

They didn't even ask about salary or benefits.

Okay, this Coco, apart from her knowledge and professional talent, is the typical naive and innocent type who would help someone count the money even if they sold her out.

At 3 p.m., Gao Dongxu and his group boarded a plane and flew directly to Hangzhou.

Nearly six hours later, we arrived in Hangzhou, at around 9 p.m.

The four women were told to stay at the Yunqi Rose Garden first, while Gao Dongxu, along with five bronze heads and Leng Feng, headed to his uncle's house.

In courtyard number three, the eldest uncle and aunt stood at the gate watching Gao Dongxu get out of the car, along with Fugui, Erpang, and Fusheng carrying five suitcases. Knowing the inside story, the eldest uncle's eyes became unusually bright.

Without exchanging pleasantries, Gao Dongxu smiled and put his arms around his aunt and uncle as they walked into the villa, with Fugui and his two companions following closely behind, carrying suitcases.

After entering the house and sitting down, Gao Dongxu raised his hand and waved, signaling Fugui and the other two to leave. The door clicked shut, leaving only him, his uncle and aunt, and the five silent suitcases in the room.

Before this, Auntie had only heard from Uncle that Gao Dongxu would bring something very important tonight, but he didn't say exactly what it was. Now, looking at the five suitcases, her eyes were full of curiosity.

"This trip abroad was full of unexpected events. I thought I could only get two, but who knew that after arriving in Paris, there were three. Then, while tracking down an international thief, we found two more on a shipwreck on a deserted island..."

Gao Dongxu didn't keep them in suspense. Instead, he smiled and explained the situation while picking up a suitcase. His fingertips rubbed against the clasp, and with a click, the clasp opened.

The moment Gao Dongxu opened the first box, the light suddenly focused on the bronze head—a rat's head, its dark surface gleaming with an eerie glow, as if it had just been retrieved from the dark river of history. Auntie's breath caught in her throat, her fingers unconsciously tightening around the sofa armrest.

"The twelve zodiac animal heads from the Old Summer Palace?!"

The uncle, who wore glasses, had incredibly bright and sharp eyes behind his lenses. Even he, who was usually calm and refined, could not hide his excitement at this moment.

"Yes, this is one of the two bronze heads that were secretly kept by Count Mathieu of France. Some time ago, it was stolen by international art thief JC..." The second box was opened, revealing the rabbit head. The uncle's pupils suddenly contracted. Although he already knew the significance of the twelve zodiac bronze heads, seeing them in person still stirred his emotions.

The third, the fourth... The rooster's beak, the sheep's horns, and the snake's scales emerged one after another under the light. My aunt, a history professor, trembled as she stared intently at the sunken eye sockets of the bronze head, as if the souls of the dead from a hundred years ago might crawl out from there.

Her chest heaved violently as she reached out a trembling hand and gently stroked the five bronze heads.

"Are you sure it's all true?" the uncle asked, his voice hoarse and out of tune, showing just how excited he was.

“Absolutely certain,” Gao Dongxu said with great certainty.

"Good, very good. With these five animal heads, our Gao family can at least bring blessings to our descendants, if not necessarily good fortune!"

Looking at the five animal heads, the uncle said in a trembling voice, unable to hide his excitement. If it were only two bronze heads, it wouldn't have made him too excited. The effect would only be to improve his own image and make his nephew, Gao Dongxu, gain favor with the emperor.

But now there are five items, which creates a path to heaven for the two of them, uncle and nephew.

No one can ignore the intrinsic value and symbolic significance of these five bronze heads, not even the ceiling.

This might become a significant chapter in the new history, or even just a single chapter, enough for the Gao family to dedicate a page to their family genealogy.

These five bronze heads will be his ticket to break free from constraints, change his allegiance, and embark on a new journey.

This is a pledge of loyalty. Whoever he chooses, offering up five bronze heads will make them his new patrons!

"Uncle, there's a new development that I need to report to you," Gao Dongxu said seriously, looking at his uncle who was deep in thought and whose expression kept changing.

"Hmm?!" Both the uncle and aunt looked at Gao Dongxu. Seeing his serious expression, the uncle nodded and said, "Let's go, let's talk in the study—"

Gao Dongxu nodded and stood up, then looked at his aunt and explained, "I'm sorry, Auntie, this matter involves some confidential information..."

“Silly child, no need to explain, I understand. Go quickly, I want to take a good look at these five bronze heads. This is probably the only time in my life that I can have such a luxurious opportunity to hold them in my hands and admire them.”

Auntie patted Gao Dongxu gently, her voice filled with kindness, relief, and excitement.

As a history professor, her feelings at this moment were something that Gao Dongxu and the others could never understand.

Anyone who studies or researches history dislikes modern history, yet they often find themselves having to delve into it.

The entire history of modern China is nothing but humiliation and unequal treaties, leaving one feeling frustrated and resentful. One might even wish to travel back in time to fight alongside Lin Zexu and Deng Shichang against the Anglo-French and Eight-Nation Alliance forces.

It's unbearable to look back! China, a glorious nation with five thousand years of history, once created the most brilliant civilization in the world, a great empire that received tributes from all nations, a nation that produced great thinkers like Confucius, Lao Tzu, Mozi, and Sun Tzu, great scientists like Zu Chongzhi, Zhang Heng, and Bi Sheng, and military geniuses like Huo Qubing, Yue Fei, and Qi Jiguang. How did it fall to the point of being at the mercy of others? Anyone with a slightly weaker mentality would not dare, be unwilling, or be able to face this reality.

Seeing the five bronze heads return to the Celestial Empire, and that it was all thanks to his own relatives and descendants, he finally let out the pent-up frustration that had been building up in his heart for decades.

Watching her husband and nephew go upstairs one after the other, the aunt's face flushed with excitement. Then, like a child, she smiled broadly, picked up the rabbit head, and stroked it lovingly, admiring it.

At this moment, Auntie seemed to have unloaded a heavy burden, and her whole demeanor was completely different.

"The person who was most excited to see the bronze head was your aunt. Those of them who study history, whether they like it or not, will unconsciously bear a heavy burden of history..."

In the study, the two sat facing each other. The elder brother took out a cigarette, lit one for himself, and tossed the cigarette and lighter to Gao Dongxu. As he smoked, he sighed.

"It's not just scholars like my aunt; all patriots can't let go of modern history. There's no way around it; historical consciousness has long been integrated into the blood of the nation," Gao Dongxu remarked with emotion.

"Yes, the river of history flows on and on, but only China carries on with its complete memories—because these memories have long been transformed into genes, flowing endlessly between the fingers of every historian who holds the pen, in the stories passed down by word of mouth among the people, and in the blood of civilization's self-identity."

The uncle took a deep drag on his cigarette, and through the swirling smoke, his eyes shone brightly as he exclaimed with some excitement.
