He ignored the pain and enlarged the photo. What he saw was shocking and he gasped.

How come this girl is selling cultural relics?!

Are you really going to die?!

……

Five minutes later, Boss Chen held his phone in a daze. "You mean, you don't know where it came from, and it just appeared in your house?"

Lin Yin said sincerely, "Yes, otherwise how could I have this thing?"

Boss Chen rolled his eyes and resisted the urge to hang up the phone.

Do you think he's a fool? Or a three-year-old child? Even a dog wouldn't believe that.

He just felt that Lin Yin did not look like someone who would do such an illegal thing, so he continued to listen to her lies to fool him.

Regardless of whether this bronze artifact is genuine or fake, counterfeiting and distributing state-owned cultural relics is illegal. All cultural relics within China, whether underground, in inland waters, or in territorial waters, belong to the state.

He decided not to argue with Lin Yin about the origins of the bronze artifact and asked directly, "So what are you going to do?"

Lin Yin thought for a moment, looking at the information about the Y Country Museum she had just searched on her laptop screen. "Since you said this is a cultural relic that was once stolen by Y Country, whether this bronze artifact is real or fake, I'd like to ask Professor Dong from last time to help me identify it. If it's fake, destroy it; if it's real, hand it over to the country."

Boss Chen finally felt relieved. He didn't misjudge the girl. If this girl asked him how much she could sell it for, he would definitely block her.

After all, some money can be earned, and some cannot. Whenever there is a conflict with national interests, one must put personal interests aside and safeguard them. This was a teaching passed down from his great-grandfather's generation.

The Chen family has always abided by this rule, which is why they have lived a happy life for so many years and received the blessings of their ancestors.

The next morning, Professor Dong was instructing his doctoral student on the revisions to his thesis when he received a call from Boss Chen.

Mr. Dong answered the phone, but in just half a minute, the expression on his face suddenly became solemn.

The doctoral student standing by watched Professor Dong's expression change instantly and trembled, fearing that he would be implicated. After all, Professor Dong was notoriously strict.

As a result, after hanging up the phone, Mr. Dong didn't even look at him and left quickly, leaving the doctoral student stunned there.

Um...it seems like he hasn't finished giving his suggestions for revising the paper yet?

Mr. Dong soon arrived at Shopkeeper Chen's store, where he was already waiting. Seeing Mr. Dong coming, he hurriedly led him outside and said, "Mr. Dong, we have to go to that girl's house today. Please bring the testing tools."

Fortunately, it only takes more than an hour to drive from here to Miss Lin’s house, which is not far.

At the same time, at the paper-making shop, Lin Yin sent Zhang Xin away, who had returned to work on Monday, and told him to buy more things this time than last time.

Zhang Xin didn’t mind at all that the purchase of materials had increased. Since Sister Yinyin wanted the materials, he would go and buy them!

Since he got his new job, he was looked down upon less often at home, and naturally he was in a good mood. Now that he had received the order, he happily left, humming a song.

An hour later, Mr. Dong and Shopkeeper Chen arrived.

When Mr. Dong got out of the car, he saw that Lin Yin lived in a paper-making shop in the suburbs some distance away from their town. He was very surprised and became even more curious about this girl.

Lin Yin invited them into the shop, locked the yard door, and hung a sign saying "temporarily closed". Then she took out the box of antiques from the storage room.

Although Mr. Dong had been warned by Boss Chen, he was still shocked when he saw the box of bronze artifacts with his own eyes.

He is an industry expert and can basically tell the fakes and counterfeits of these antiques at a glance.

These are undoubtedly not fakes of poor imitation quality, but are very realistic.

He took out his tools and began to examine the bronze artifact carefully.

For a full half hour, Mr. Dong didn't say a word, his face looking very solemn.

He tested it repeatedly, fearing that his old eyesight was poor and he had made a mistake.

This is illogical, this is impossible...

However, no matter how many times he repeated it, the facts were starkly before his eyes.

These are actually all genuine!

So, what about those in the Y Country Museum?

Mr. Dong also had not heard any news reports that Chinese cultural relics were stolen from the Y Country Museum.

Although Country Y itself has had scandals involving employee embezzlement in the past, those were basically small thefts of cultural relics, such as gold, silver products, and jewelry, because they can be melted down and resold, making it difficult for the market to trace their source.

But what is in front of them at this moment is the Chinese bronze ware that is basically impossible to circulate out of Country Y!

Mr. Dong couldn’t understand for a moment why the cultural relics stolen by Country Y appeared here?

Could it be that there are actually more than one copy of these cultural relics?

When Boss Chen saw Mr. Dong's expression, he understood in his heart that these were actually genuine goods. The look he gave Lin Yin was now much more complicated.

Who is this girl?

Are they really ignorant and know nothing about these things, or do they have other intentions?

But if she had other intentions, why would she show them these cards?

Doesn't she know that if she's not careful, she'll be taken away by the higher-ups?

Boss Chen couldn't see through it, and neither could Boss Dong, so they both turned their gazes to Lin Yin.

Lin Yin was no fool, so she naturally saw the meaningful looks in their eyes...

In fact, after hanging up the phone last night, she took photos and identified these cultural relics. Some of them could be found to be collected by the Y Country Museum, but some had no photos or information.

Because only 1% of the collections of Country Y Museum are exhibited to the public.

There are also countless looted collections that are only recorded internally and secretly monitored.

Obviously, some of Lin Yin's cultural relics have never been exhibited to the public.

Lin Yin was helpless. She was willing to tell the truth, but they had to believe it too!

Which statement is more outrageous: she dug out the cultural relics from under the tree, or she had a system and exchanged the cultural relics from the museum of Country Y in the apocalyptic plane with a girl in the apocalyptic plane?

Under their scrutiny, Lin Yin spoke cautiously, "If these artifacts are genuine, Professor Dong, please take them away and return them to the country for me!"

Mr. Dong couldn't be 100% sure these artifacts were genuine. It wasn't impossible that the replicas were too advanced and he had misjudged them. Therefore, he needed to take these artifacts back to a national professional testing agency for final appraisal.

"Girl, no matter what, if these artifacts are genuine, you've done a great service. However, the relevant state officials will contact you to clarify the situation. Just report the truth. The state will not wrongly accuse a good person. The state is much smarter than you think."
