They arrived in Nancheng quickly, and the plane landed. Because it was a high-ranking official's trip, there were not only police officers but also military personnel outside.

The crowd looked serious and warily around. Lin Chuchu didn't know these people, understood discipline and rules, and wouldn't say anything reckless.

There were those protecting the high-ranking leader, and there were those protecting Lin Chuchu, because Lin Chuchu's identity was also special.

Lin Chuchu spotted a familiar face among the crowd—Yang Xiao.

She glanced at the other person in surprise; their expression was serious, and they were staring straight ahead.

When the other person winks at her secretly, she knows it's still that carefree person.

However, Yang Xiao seems more mature and composed, with the demeanor of a captain. I wonder how the brigade captain is doing.

The captain had protected her many times and even went on missions with her. If she hadn't handed over her space to the country, Yang Xiao and his team might still be protecting her.

At this time, it's not advisable to move around freely. Lin Chuchu returned to her room and began tidying up her things. After finishing, she lay down on the bed to rest.

Even dinner was brought to my room by someone else.

Time flew by and it was already the next morning.

The person who can be personally received by a high-ranking leader must be someone of extraordinary status.

The other party's expression was arrogant. In their view, doing business with China was a favor, an honor that others could only dream of.

Fortunately, the other party's attitude towards the senior leader was still respectful.

Besides the top leader, two other important Chinese leaders were also present.

Lin Chuchu sat at the lower end of the table, her body ramrod straight, in the most elegant and dignified posture.

Lin Chuchu always felt that someone was looking at her, but the other person was just looking at her casually and didn't seem to have any malicious intent.

She didn't dare look around, nor was she sure who the other person was.

However, her intuition told her that they were on the American side.

Who is this person? Why is he staring at me? Do I know him?

A few thoughts came to mind, and Lin Chuchu thought of the man named Ma Jin.

Could it be him?

Lin Chuchu frowned slightly.

The lunch banquet was of state banquet standard, with each dish meticulously prepared by the chef. It was a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate, making everyone's mouth water.

At first, the Americans were dismissive, believing that only their own country's food was the most high-class and suitable for them, the upper class.

However, once he starts eating, he can't stop.

The food in front of me smelled so good, it seemed to have some kind of magic.

American food is mostly just simple frying, with a monotonous flavor, and you get tired of it after a while.

Lin Chuchu was very happy that her family's good products were recognized, and all she could think of was that people had good taste.

Finally, it was afternoon, and everyone started talking about serious matters.

"This batch of cultural relics is a collection of carefully selected Chinese artifacts. We hope to take this opportunity of purchasing iron ore to return these artifacts to you."

Since the US bought them back at a low price anyway, they're very happy to accept it as part of the payment.

The American official ordered his men to bring everything in.

Lin Chuchu looked at the familiar boxes and her breath hitched. On the surface, the boxes were indeed the same as the batch that the Chen family had sent away.

Not only Lin Chuchu wanted to confirm this, but everyone else did too.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on the box, the American official couldn't help but look smug.

There are many Chinese cultural relics in the United States, and many of them were later smuggled back to China.

It's a disgrace for one's own treasures to appear in another country.

The person next to Lin Chuchu nodded silently. Lin Chuchu stood up and followed the Chinese soldier to investigate.

The box was opened, and the artifacts in front of her became increasingly familiar. Lin Chuchu touched them, and a notification appeared in her spatial storage.

As expected, the artifact in front of them was fake, and it was a replica.

Lin Chuchu seemed to touch them casually before quickly letting go and starting to look at the other artifacts.

To others, it seemed as if Lin Chuchu had simply taken a casual stroll and returned.

In fact, Lin Chuchu had already distinguished the authenticity of most of the cultural relics.

Seeing Lin Chuchu return, no one came forward to ask her anything. After finishing her work, Lin Chuchu quietly left the room.

After leaving the room, someone led her to an office, where two soldiers in civilian clothes entered.

"Comrade Lin, how is it? Are those cultural relics the same batch that the Chen family sent out? Are they genuine or fake?"

Li Chuchu nodded, "Three-quarters of them are from that batch of cultural relics, which means three-quarters of them are fake."

Upon hearing this, the two men's anxious hearts finally calmed down, and one of them asked.

"Comrade Lin, is there any way to prove that the cultural relic is fake?"

Lin Chuchu hadn't really thought about this before. She searched through her spatial storage for a long time before finally finding an introduction to the replica machine.

"I've got a solution. All the replica artifacts will have the letters 'fk' on the bottom. For example, the vase will be inside the bottle, and the jade pendant will be at the very bottom. In short, it will be in a hidden place."

"You can find cultural relics experts to come over. It would be best if they could bring some real cultural relics."

"You can't tell the difference between fake antiques when they're placed side by side."

"By the way, I told you about the boxes used to store fake artifacts, don't get them mixed up."

After Lin Chuchu finished speaking, she drew out the positions where the boxes were stacked and told them to be careful.

The items were all there, guarded by American soldiers, and in the eyes of the American commanders, it was very safe.

Negotiating cooperation is not so simple; all aspects must be carefully considered, and the value of the cultural relics must also be estimated.
