Chapter 169: Chapter 145 He’s Totally Trustworthy! (Please Subscribe)_2

Chen Hui’s mouth twitched, “How did you know I was going to ask about him?”

At that moment, Shen Qianqian’s tone became noticeably more familiar, “He’s my friend who just happened to arrive in Modu today. As a web novel writer who can also appraise treasures, I thought of him.”

“Friend, as in boyfriend?” Chen Hui half-jokingly asked.

“Almost.” Shen Qianqian replied.

Chen Hui: “???”

He suddenly regretted making this call.

Is or isn’t, what does ‘almost’ mean?

“Did Lin Chuan get into trouble?” Shen Qianqian asked with considerable concern.

She knew that Chen Hui held a position at the Modu police station.

A police comrade specifically called to inquire about him, could it be that he got caught again?

“No, he just helped us identify a piece of bronze ware suspected to be an antiquity, so I wanted to understand his background.” Chen Hui said with a smile.

“I can’t divulge his detailed information, but what I can tell you is that he’s completely trustworthy,” Shen Qianqian spoke firmly.

Completely trustworthy?

“Is he that impressive?” Chen Hui was taken aback for a moment, a look of surprise crossing his face.

“That’s all I can say. Oh, and if he gets involved in any cases in Modu, suspected of a crime, please let me know right away,” Shen Qianqian added.

Having known Lin Chuan for so long, she had the deepest understanding of him; he was practically a born suspect for crime.

However, the Anling Police had classified Lin Chuan’s file as confidential and it was not to be disclosed.

Shen Qianqian couldn’t reveal too much either.

But with Lin Chuan away, Shen Qianqian was somewhat worried. The last time, ten assassins had surrounded the Goldstone Edge Antique Shop, and although the aftermath was unharmed, it had truly panicked her.

Ah… Her mind was in a mess.

Chen Hui and Shen Qianqian chatted idly for a bit more, then Shen Qianqian went back to handling her documents.

She was indeed busy but had spoken a bit more with Chen Hui only because it was about Lin Chuan.

The call ended.

Chen Hui was filled with mixed emotions.

All he’d done was make a phone call to inquire about a web novel writer who was none of his business, and now he had fallen into a stage of questioning his life.

In the beginning.

Although he found it somewhat ridiculous for a web novel writer to be appraising bronze, out of professional integrity, he maintained respect and courtesy towards Lin Chuan.

Not until Lin Chuan elucidated the forgery of the ‘Taotie Pattern Wine Vessel’ and provided corroborative evidence for the material identification did he revise his opinion of Lin Chuan.

This web novel writer truly knew how to appraise treasures!

But after making this call, he was questioning life.

During his university years, he’d always had a soft spot for Shen Qianqian, but she was indifferent towards him.

So much so that after graduation, he only occasionally sent messages to keep in touch, and phoning her was a first for today.

He’d only wanted to use “understanding Lin Chuan” as an excuse to talk to Shen Qianqian, but he hadn’t expected Lin Chuan to be the person who made Shen Qianqian “catch a cold.”

It was a coincidence that was too preposterous!

Over the phone, he listened to Shen Qianqian’s unhidden admiration and high appraisal of Lin Chuan, and could personally feel how well and concerned she was about Lin Chuan.

This was the complete opposite of her attitude towards him.

Sigh—

Chen Hui looked at the starred phone number, took a deep breath, and this time, he was genuinely curious about Lin Chuan.

…

Modu Police Station.

From a distance, Old Bai saw Lin Chuan and immediately rushed towards him like the wind, eager to jump into Lin Chuan’s arms: “Old Lin, you really are my bro!”

“Hey, hey, hey, we’re in public, act decently!” Lin Chuan put his hands forward to block the warm embrace of the passionately fired-up Old Bai.

“Old Lin, without you, I might have really been done for with that piece of bronze,” Old Bai said with a long sigh of relief.

Lin Chuan smiled, patted Old Bai’s shoulder, and comforted him, “It’s just your first time in the station, you were too nervous.”
