Chapter 197: Chapter 161 New Life, New Experience! (Please subscribe!)

Dusk descended.

The afterglow of the setting sun was completely engulfed by the slowly spreading night, leaving only a hint of crimson. Neon lights flickered between buildings like stars in the night sky, adding a touch of the mundane.

A gentle breeze blew through, carrying the fresh, moist air after the rain and the faint scent of gardenias, making several rounds in the courtyard of the "Moon Ascending Pavilion," a Chinese-style ancient-themed restaurant.

"Youyou, I'm going back to Anling tomorrow,"

Lin Chuan said softly to Youyou, whose face was peachy pink.

"Won't you stay a few more days?"

Youyou was slightly taken aback, lifting her bright eyes to look at Lin Chuan.

"There are a lot of things to deal with in Anling."

Lin Chuan shook his head.

The 720 Internet Company, Goldstone Edge Antique Shop—it's been quite a handful for Little Landlady.

A trace of melancholy flashed through Youyou's eyes, but it quickly disappeared as she pursed her lips and smiled, "I had so many places I wanted to take you to, but I didn't expect this incident to happen and mess up all the plans."

The night before Lin Chuan confirmed he would come to Modu, she had stayed up late to plan the trip and even got time off from the HR department.

It was all to give her dear a good time.

Who would've thought...

A case of antique forgery, a cultural relics replacement, disrupted all her plans.

"There will be other chances," Lin Chuan said with a smile.

Youyou blinked her clear, autumn-water-like eyes and gently swept up the hair on her right cheek, tucking it behind her ear, "Okay, next time I'll make sure you have a great time!"

"Okay,"

Lin Chuan said, smiling.

At that moment,

Both Lin Chuan's and Youyou's phones buzzed at the same time.

The Modu police force had sent them a picture.

—A case notice regarding the current investigation.

Youyou glanced at it, a smile spreading across her face as she said to Lin Chuan, "Lin Chuan, you need to clarify some things in the reader group about the antique forgery and the cultural relics replacement case, don't you?"

"With this notice, it'll be much easier to clarify,"

Lin Chuan said with a chuckle, nodding his head.

Afterwards,

he took out his phone, scrolled to the reader group—"Abide by the Law, Everyone's Responsibility," and quickly typed with his thumbs on the phone keyboard: "@All Members, brothers, here I am./haha.smile.jpg"

Lin Chuan was very popular in the reader group.

His message immediately blew up the group, like dropping a bomb in a pond, causing not only the little fish but also the old turtles lurking under to emerge.

[Mr. Lin, you've finally showed up]

[Mr. Lin, I think I might have misjudged you. I saw a video last time saying that one of the cultural relics is suspected to be a replica, but it was taken down before I could share it!]

[Right, I saw that video too. When I shared it, the video link was invalid.]

[That video really did some hard-core analysis, and it made a lot of sense.]

[So, is that national treasure fake or not?]

[Does it matter if it's real or fake? I just want to know, is Mr. Lin going to end up in the police station?]

[Mr. Lin, are you still in the station?]

[Bro, write another story, I want to learn some skills to make money.]

[Without your novels, I don't even have side dishes to go with my meals.]

[You can write novels in the station too, Mr. Lin. Don't think about slacking off!]

[It's okay even if you're inside, I can wait.]

[...]

"These are all your true fans!"

Youyou was also in the group, watching these group members' messages with a joyful expression on her face.

"Of course,"

Lin Chuan raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile.

There were about two thousand people in the group, nearly all true fans with full subscriptions.

Lin Chuan was originally ready to say something emotional, but looking at these readers' messages, he thought it over—these guys just wanted chaos, only wanting him to 'go inside.'

'Go inside,' something he would never do in this lifetime!

After thinking for a bit, Lin Chuan immediately sent the picture just received from the Modu police station to the group, along with a message: "@All Members, brothers, I might have to disappoint you."

In the photo, blue background with white text.

As soon as the picture appeared, the group went temporarily quiet for a while.

Because the readers were clicking into the photo to check it out.

The content of the notice caught their eyes.

'At present, our bureau is investigating the "Accidental Damage to National Treasure Case" and the "Antique Forgery Case." To ensure that the case is handled according to the law, protect the legal rights of the parties involved, and restore the truth of the incident, the following announcements are made:'

'In the case of the accidental damage to the national treasure, according to Mr. Lin (one of the accidental damagers), the Qing dynasty Chinese tangled branch pattern thin-walled jade vase showcased at the overseas repatriation ceremony is a replica.

Further verification by the Modu Cultural Relics Bureau confirmed the artifact to be a counterfeit, and the original genuine piece is suspected to have been replaced.'

'The case involves a large antique forgery gang, and our bureau, in cooperation with the Cultural Relics Bureau, has initiated an investigation.'

'On the afternoon of June 19th, Mr.

Lin published a video with the title "Qing dynasty Chinese tangled branch pattern thin-walled jade vase suspected to be a replica," which quickly gained attention online and through which the identity of the two main suspects in the "Antique Forgery Replacement Case" were confirmed: Hu Shu, the owner of the Ancient Moon private museum; Gao Qinglin, the chief expert at Modu Museum.'

'On the afternoon of June 19th, our bureau moved quickly, apprehended the suspects Hu Shu and Gao Qinglin, who confessed to the crimes: secretly replacing national treasures, scheming to cause a power outage at the museum to simulate an accident intending to damage a counterfeit national treasure, among other extensive forgery activities.'

'...'

The group's true fans read with great concentration, carefully going over each word, fearful of missing any key information.

The wording inside seemed simple, but it was not difficult to understand at all.

The readers got it.

At the same time, they also couldn't sit still anymore!
