Chapter 194: Chapter 159: We Can’t Let Comrade Lin Be Snatched Away! (Please Subscribe)

The rain was gradually diminishing.

Within the estate where the Ancient Moon Museum was located, countless deep blue uniformed detectives stood on guard, prepared for action, creating an immense sense of oppression for Hu Shu in the third-floor reception room.

Gao Qinglin also walked to the window.

He lacked the calm demeanor of Hu Shu. Looking down and seeing police chief Zhao Gang personally leading the criminal investigation team to surround the Ancient Moon Museum, his heart was in turmoil.

“Mr. Hu, what do we do now?”

Gao Qinglin’s voice trembled, his legs felt weak, and his face was etched with panic.

Hu Shu did not speak.

He simply stared at the young man in white amongst the detectives below, lost in thought.

There was no escape.

In less than a minute, a portion of the detective squad had rushed into the third-floor reception room.

Zhao Gang, Li Zeguang, and Lin Chuan, the three of them, followed closely behind.

Outside the window, raindrops ‘ticked and tocked’ on the windowsill, slowly, slowly, in the silent atmosphere, like the countdown of a second hand.

As calamity approached, Hu Shu’s expression, on the contrary, regained its composure.

He sat quietly in front of the tea table in the middle of the reception room, methodically preparing tea.

“Visitors should be greeted with tea,”

Hu Shu poured three cups of tea, looked towards Lin Chuan, Li Zeguang, and Lin Chuan, and revealed a faint smile on his face.

These people were all old acquaintances.

Zhao Gang and Li Zeguang exchanged a glance, then took their seats at the tea table, curious to see what Hu Shu intended to do.

Lin Chuan was not afraid; he walked over with ease.

The situation was now under control.

Meanwhile, Gao Qinglin, with weak knees, was propped up by Chen Hui and another detective comrade, handcuffed with shiny silver handcuffs, his face ashen.

Hu Shu paid no mind to this.

His gaze swept across Zhao Gang, Li Zeguang, and Lin Chuan, then he smiled and said, “I hadn’t expected you to discover the ruse so quickly.”

Zhao Gang and Li Zeguang then turned their attention to Lin Chuan.

Hu Shu raised an eyebrow, his guess seemingly confirmed, and turned to Lin Chuan, asking, “Lin, when did you realize that the thin-walled jade vase was a counterfeit?”

Lin Chuan looked at Hu Shu, a smile appearing on his face: “I realized it during the ceremony for the repatriation of overseas relics.”

Surprise showed on Hu Shu’s calm face as he frowned, “So you knew from the beginning, which means that even without that accident, you would still have reported it to the Cultural Relics Bureau, right?”

Lin Chuan nodded and hummed.

“I’m puzzled, with your age, you shouldn’t be able to discern the authenticity of the thin-walled jade vase,”

Hu Shu glanced at Lin Chuan and asked with evident confusion.

Lin Chuan smiled, not directly answering Hu Shu’s question, but rather saying, “Mr. Hu, you said before that you’ve been reading my novels. Which part are you up to now?”

Hu Shu did not know why Lin asked this but still replied, “I just reached the part where Mr. Lin forges the ‘North Song Dynasty Fanchang Kiln Shadow Blue-glazed Plum Vase,’ at chapter two hundred.”

“If I remember correctly, you can skip directly to chapter three hundred and sixty-five,”
