Because, among the 27 repatriated relics, its value was high enough to rank within the top three.

Youyou held tightly to Lin Chuan’s hand like an obedient little cat, eagerly following by Lin Chuan’s side.

The ‘Qing dynasty Chinese tangled branch pattern thin-walled jade vase’ was placed in a columnar glass cabinet, with two security guards stationed beside it. Visitors could observe from a distance of 50 centimeters.

“Don’t crowd, please don’t crowd!”

“Visitors in the back, please don’t rush!”

“The relic is very precious, no photography allowed! Do not touch!”

There were also six security personnel maintaining order among the viewers.

In reality.

These so-called masters and experts of antiques, along with individual collectors, did not exhibit high standards of behavior, not showing much sense of orderly conduct. Instead, most of them had a fervent look in their eyes, and many were not shy about cutting in line to get to the front.

Lin Chuan and Youyou queued up honestly.

Finally willing to leave, the people in the front moved away and those at the back surged forward. After waiting for several turns, it was finally Lin Chuan’s turn to get to the front, and the exquisite features of the ‘thin-walled jade vase’ came into Lin Chuan’s view.

“It’s so beautiful,” Youyou exclaimed, looking at the thin-walled jade vase in the display case.

“If you had Qinghai jade, I could make one for you,” Lin Chuan said with a smile.

“You really know how?”

Youyou blinked and smiled.

Lin Chuan touched his nose and muttered, “I should be able to succeed this time.”

“Writer Lin, we meet again.”

At that moment.

A familiar voice came from beside Lin Chuan.

The speaker was none other than Hu Shu.

“Mr. Hu, what a coincidence.”

Lin Chuan turned his head to look, slightly surprised, and smiled politely.

Youyou, on the other hand, was seriously admiring the thin-walled jade vase.

“Do you have a particular passion for this artifact, too?”

Hu Shu pushed up his glasses, pointed at the thin-wall jade vase, and asked with a smile.

Lin Chuan nodded and replied with a smile, “Indeed, I’m quite interested, wanting to see this cicada-wing-thin body and its wonderful craftsmanship.”

“Mr. Lin has a good eye for quality,” Hu Shu smiled and began addressing Lin Chuan as ‘Mr. Lin.’ “Why not appraise it for yourself?”

Lin Chuan raised his right hand and gestured lightly, “I’m merely here to admire, I wouldn’t dare to comment recklessly.”

“I’ve appraised this jade vase again and again but can’t determine whether it belongs to the mid or late Qing dynasty. Could Mr. Lin help me out of this confusion?” Hu Shu looked toward Lin Chuan and smiled softly.

Lin Chuan looked up at Hu Shu and replied with a smile, “My level is not high, my judgment is prone to large errors.”

“But by all means, speak your mind.”

“Firstly, we can rule out the early Qing dynasty,” Lin Chuan said half-jokingly.
