A light green fluorescence shone through from the inside, rendering a warm and moist effect. In the concave and convex areas of the vase, the light and shadow were slightly mottled, and the whole showed a natural gradient layer of luminous green from bright to dark.

This was its unique light transmission performance and shadow effect.

Lin Chuan reminded everyone, “Everyone, try to remember the light and shadow effect at this moment.”

Although puzzled, everyone looked towards the screen, taking Lin Chuan’s serious demeanor into account.

Afterward.

Lin Chuan took out a flashlight from his pocket.

This flashlight was the type commonly used by treasure appraisers, identical to the one used by Director Li Zeguang of the Cultural Relics Bureau.

He then looked around the room, walked to the window, drew both layers of curtains, closed the door, turned off the lights, and cut off the external natural light, with the screen going temporarily blank as well.

The entire meeting room was plunged into darkness.

Only the beam from Lin Chuan’s flashlight shone brightly.

This beam of light, similar to the one on the screen just before, shone down from above onto the thin-walled jade vase.

“Director Li, would you please look at the light transmission performance of this thin-walled jade vase and the shadow effect it presents?” Lin Chuan turned to Li Zeguang.

Of those present, he was the only one who might understand.

Li Zeguang’s brow furrowed as he glanced at Lin Chuan and then focused on the thin-walled jade vase.

After several rounds of observation, he finally gave his assessment: “Its walls are thin, the jade is of high quality, with excellent light transmission performance, and the shadow effect shows a gradient of color.”

Lin Chuan smiled and asked, “How does this shadow effect compare to the one at the 4 minute and 26 second mark we just saw?”

Li Zeguang was taken aback.

Suddenly.

He looked up sharply at Lin Chuan, his brow furrowed tightly, “You mean to say, they present different shadows?”

“Exactly.”

Lin Chuan nodded and then asked Youyou to hold the flashlight while he pointed out a specific shadow, “Director Li, this angle matches exactly with the one in the video recording, but look here, it doesn’t display the natural gradient from bright to dim light green color as in the video. Instead, there are two subtle spots here, causing the shadows to be slightly mottled.”

As Lin Chuan explained, Li Zeguang’s frown deepened with astonishment.

He could no longer sit still!

He abruptly stood up, quickly walked over to Lin Chuan, bent down, and looked closely at the subtle mottled shadows Lin Chuan had just pointed out.

Then, he turned to look at the exterior wall of the vase and then to the interior. There was no dirt or dust on the inside or outside walls.

The subtle mottling was caused by the patina of the jade vase!

Meaning, the thin-walled jade vase before him was not the same ‘Qing dynasty Chinese tangled branch pattern thin-walled jade vase’ Lin Chuan had appraised before.

They were not the same artifact!

The Qing dynasty Chinese tangled branch pattern thin-walled jade vase was still intact, undamaged!

There was still a chance to recover it!

In the pitch-dark meeting room.

Li Zeguang first swallowed hard and then looked up at Lin Chuan, his eyes shone with increased brightness, the initial contempt now completely gone, filled with admiration, “That’s fantastic, the damaged thin-walled jade vase isn’t the actual Qing dynasty Chinese tangled branch pattern thin-walled jade vase. The real one is undamaged!”
