“`

“You dare?”

“How could I not dare?”

“Reaping the benefits and still playing innocent, huh!” Youyou muttered as she returned to the room, making the bed for Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan showered quickly.

Soon after, Youyou entered the bathroom to take her shower.

By the time Youyou came out, Lin Chuan was already lying on the sofa asleep, his breathing steady and even.

“This guy.”

Youyou cursed with a laugh, then went back to her room, took out a quilt, and gently covered Lin Chuan with it.

Then, she put Lin Chuan’s clothes into the washing machine, set it to quick wash+dry, and only then went back to her room to get ready for bed.

She thought about it, couldn’t sleep, took up the bedding, spread it on the floor beside the sofa, close to Lin Chuan, listened to Lin Chuan’s deep breathing, felt at peace, and finally fell into a restful sleep.

The following morning.

The morning sun pierced through the thin layer of clouds and spilled onto the balcony, where the leaves of several potted green plants glowed brighter and a more vibrant green under the sunlight.

“Mmm—”

Youyou woke up from the bed.

Last night, when Lin Chuan found Youyou sleeping on the floor, he had carried the half-awake her to the bed and then returned to sleep on the sofa himself.

Youyou walked out of the room, looked at Lin Chuan still sleeping on the sofa, and a smile appeared on her face.

She felt that there was an inexplicable sense of security being with Lin Chuan.

Life with Lin Chuan was pretty good.

She didn’t disturb Lin Chuan’s sleep but instead started to cook a nutritious congee and took his clothes out of the washing machine, ironed the shirt until it was smooth, and then folded them neatly.

Only when the police officer called her did she reluctantly wake up Lin Chuan, her thoughts returning to the fake cultural relic that had been broken,

had breakfast, changed clothes, and headed to the police station.

To cooperate with the investigation.

Upon entering the police station, Lin Chuan and Youyou were taken to a meeting room.

In the meeting room were the chief of the Modu police station, the head of the Cultural Relics Bureau, and officers like Chen Hui.

This meeting room was mainly for discussing the contents of Lin Chuan’s interrogation the previous night.

The most crucial point was the lead Lin Chuan provided.

— The “Qing dynasty Chinese tangled branch pattern thin-walled jade vase” presented at the simple ceremony was a fake!

Generally speaking, after being authenticated by numerous experts, the “Qing dynasty Chinese tangled branch pattern thin-walled jade vase” otherwise confirmed as real would be determined genuine.

But Lin Chuan, by himself claiming it to be fake, wouldn’t be taken as a reference opinion normally.

However, this matter was tied to whether Lin Chuan would face huge compensation and imprisonment, and behind Lin Chuan was a high-profile individual from Han River offering strong support.

Therefore, they had no choice but to hold this meeting.

It was mainly a formality, to give an explanation to that high-profile individual from Han River.

As for “the relic being a fake,” everyone else thought it was absurd.

Among them was Li Zeguang, head of the Cultural Relics Bureau, who himself was an expert in cultural relic authentication with some exceptional insights into antiques and curios.

This “Qing dynasty Chinese tangled branch pattern thin-walled jade vase” had been personally authenticated by him and several other masters as genuine.

Now, a green young man, also a web novel writer, insisted the artifact was a fake, inevitably irking him.

Therefore.

When Lin Chuan walked into the meeting room, Cultural Relics Bureau chief Li Zeguang’s gaze immediately fell upon him.

Lin Chuan was seen in a white shirt and dark casual pants, with short hair, a youthful and refined face, smiling with a hint of subtle confidence in his eyes, and a pair of clear eyes that weren’t quite as sharp or vicious.

But Li Zeguang, being of a relatively calm nature, didn’t rush to conclusions.

“Comrade Lin Chuan, we’ve summoned you this time…”

Chen Hui still harbored a glimmer of hope for Lin Chuan, so he introduced the people present to Lin Chuan, who greeted everyone with neither arrogance nor obsequiousness.

Afterward.

Cultural Relics Bureau chief Li Zeguang pointed at the thin-walled jade vase that now had a crack in the middle of the meeting table and went straight to the point, “Lin Chuan, is what you stated in the interrogation room true?”

“It is true.”

Lin Chuan nodded seriously.

Li Zeguang’s gaze became sharp, staring intently at Lin Chuan, “What proof do you have that it is fake?”

Everyone else looked towards Lin Chuan, their expressions complex and varied.

Clearly, Lin Chuan’s proof could very likely determine the course of his life from here on.
