After hearing the whole story, Du Hou was rather surprised. "Seriously, Little Chu? Was the porcelain Kang Yonghui brought out really that lifelike?"
Chu Chen said with certainty, "It was indeed extremely lifelike. Beginners aside, even experienced collectors could easily be fooled if they weren't careful. Besides, I think the porcelain Kang Yonghui brought out was probably just a sample fired by the maker. Otherwise, with his abilities, some of the details couldn't possibly have been handled so carelessly."
"That's interesting!" Du Hou chuckled. "Little Chu, if you find him, could you give me a call? I'd really like to see just how lifelike the imitation antiques this person makes can be."
Old Qian hurriedly asked Chu Chen to notify him as well. He wanted to go and see for himself too.
Chu Chen smiled and agreed. He then called Director Di and asked about Young Master Quan's follower. When he heard that the man was still in the detention room, he said that he wanted to meet him and asked whether it could be arranged.
Although Director Di didn't understand why Chu Chen wanted to see Young Master Quan's follower, he certainly wouldn't refuse. Not only could he get Chu Chen to owe him a small favor, but he could also plead with Chu Chen on Young Master Quan's behalf later, thus fulfilling his friend's request. As for whether Chu Chen wanted to let Young Master Quan off, that had nothing to do with him.
After enjoying a sumptuous lunch, Du Hou took his leave because he had something to attend to. Since there was nothing much going on at the kiln factory for the time being, Chu Chen had Qian Cheng send the several senior men home together. He still had to discuss the kiln factory's work
