Chapter 194 - Chapter 194: Chapter 159: We Cant Let Comrade Lin Be Snatched Away! (Please Subscribe) (2/2)
Lin Chuan suggested to Hu Shu with a smile.
Perplexed, Hu Shu glanced at Lin, yet he picked up the mobile phone from the table and opened Sailing Novel under the surveillance of the detectives, entered the “Last Week’s Antique” novel page, and flipped to chapter three hundred and sixty-five.
Chapter title: I Made a Mistake.
Hu Shu frowned and scrolled down, absorbing the content of the novel into his eyes.
‘As it turns out, my counterfeit enterprise was not without troubles.’
‘Tonight, I made a mistake.’
‘My esteemed jade vase forgery skills experienced a setback.’
‘The night was clear, and the moonlight was pale.’
‘In the courtyard, the sounds of summer cicadas chirped, and the evening breeze rustled the branches in the garden.’
‘Brother Lin, come quick!’
‘Qing called out to me urgently in the front hall, her tone both hasty and anxious.’
‘On the central square table in the front hall stood a jade vase, known as the ‘Qing dynasty Chinese tangled branch pattern thin-walled jade vase,’ of course, a counterfeit I had created a few days back, freshly completed with herbal staining tonight.’
‘I was very satisfied with it, believing it was a perfect replica.’
‘What’s wrong? I asked Qing.’
‘Qing held several photos in her hand and, pointing at the thin-walled jade vase, anxiously said, this jade vase is slightly different from the one in the photos!’
‘I was puzzled and asked back, where does it differ?’
‘They look the same without strong light, but with strong light shining on them…!’
‘That’s what Qing said.’
‘I was shocked, checked immediately, and indeed, under intense light, their reflections showed extremely subtle differences.’
‘…’
The further Hu Shu read, the more complex his expression became.
Surprise, confusion, empathy… it all was there.
At that moment, as he read this chapter, it was as if he saw his own current situation reflected, quite like his, yet he did not have a Qing in the story to point out the issue with the light and shadow for him.
By the time he became aware of the problem, it was already too late.
“So, you had already encountered the ‘Qing dynasty Chinese tangled branch pattern thin-walled jade vase’ before,”
After reading this chapter, Hu Shu heaved a sigh.
Only someone who thoroughly understood antiques could write such a novel.
Without a doubt.
Lin Chuan was such a person.
“You could say I’ve encountered it,” Lin Chuan mused with a slight smile.
Hu Shu straightened his clothes, lifted his head, blinked, and let out a self-deprecating laugh:
“I had thought that in this world, no one else could notice the fakes I produced, but to my surprise, I fell into your hands.”
Lin Chuan shook his head.
Looking at this top figure in Modu’s antiques circle, who was also the head of a large antique forgery gang, he smiled and praised, “You set a pretty good trap yourself.”
