"As long as you tell me how you got this night-shining pearl, I can give you corresponding compensation, but I will not return this night-shining pearl to you."

Lin Han said.

“How much compensation can I get?”

Boss Jin asked.

"Thirty-five million."

"Of course, if you make up a piece of history, you won't get a penny of this money."

"So, you need to think it over carefully before you speak."

Lin Han stared into Boss Jin's eyes and said.

Although Lin Han didn't know the whole story, if Boss Jin wanted to make up a lie to fool him, Lin Han had some ability to tell.

"Okay, thirty-five million. A gentleman's word is as good as his bond."

After hesitating for a moment, Boss Jin looked at Lin Han and said.

Lin Han nodded. Thirty-five million was not a lot for him.

And if one could obtain this night-shining pearl of Empress Dowager Cixi, its value would definitely increase by hundreds of times.

Of course, Lin Han did not intend to embezzle this Night Pearl of Empress Dowager Cixi.

Lin Han naturally had his own plans for doing this.

"In fact, I found this Night Pearl of Empress Dowager Cixi by accident."

"At first, I didn't know much about this night-shining pearl. Later, through continuous research, I discovered its extraordinaryness. I learned that this night-shining pearl was actually the favorite of Empress Dowager Cixi."

Boss Jin said slowly.

"At that time, my antique shop was not in the antique town, but in a relatively prosperous small county town east of the mountain city."

"At that time, the antique shop business was not that good. It was just average. The treasures and antiques received every day were not many, or even very few, and many of them were imitations and counterfeits."

"However, the monthly income is enough to support a family and save a lot, so naturally, I will continue to run the antique shop."

"After that, I worked diligently to run the shop and collect antiques, and my business gradually improved. Just like what the ancients said, there will be rewards for your efforts."

"But suddenly one day, an old lady in ragged clothes came to my shop. It was winter dusk and the sky had already darkened."

"She didn't say much. She just put the night pearl on the table and asked me how much it was worth."

"My ability to appraise treasures was not that good at that time. In addition, Empress Dowager Cixi's Night-Shining Pearl was a very rare item. Although there are many records of it in history, I have rarely seen it."

"Moreover, among jewelry, night-shining pearls are also very rare items, so I am not sure about the valuation of this."

"Just seeing that this night-shining pearl is extremely exquisite, made of good material, and has excellent polishing craftsmanship, even if it is not an antique, it is still a work of art, so I roughly told the old lady a price of thirty to fifty thousand."

"The old woman didn't bargain much, she just took the money and left."

Boss Jin was telling stories of the past.

"And then? You've been talking for so long, but you still haven't gotten to the point."

Lin Hansheng said very confusedly.

Boss Jin rolled his eyes at Lin Hansheng and continued, "After I received this night-shining pearl, because it was so large, the light it emitted at night was also very dazzling and cold."

"I just didn't keep it at home, but kept it in the store."

"However, it just so happened that there was a period of time when the business in the store was very bleak. No one came to patronize it for several days in a row."

"I was bored, so I picked up a book about antiques and started reading it. I happened to see the introduction of Empress Dowager Cixi's Night Pearl."

"When I saw it, I realized something was wrong. Why was the description in the book so similar to the night-shining pearl in my hand?"

"I studied it carefully, and sure enough, after several days of hard research, I finally confirmed that this night-shining pearl must be the one that belonged to Empress Dowager Cixi."

"Of course, after learning about this matter, I didn't dare to tell anyone about the huge treasure in my hands. I didn't even say a word to my closest family members. Until now, I have been hiding this matter from them."

Boss Jin introduced the origin of this night pearl.

"So did you go look for that old woman or did this history end here?"

Lin Han asked after listening.

"When I learned about this, my reaction was similar to yours. However, I knew that if I made this public, I might get endless money, or I might get killed."

"After all, think about it, the things buried with the Empress Dowager Cixi were not good things. Even though I don't believe in feng shui and the theory of luck, I am in the antique business after all, so I have heard a lot about it."

"Later, I spent several months asking someone to draw a portrait of the old woman, and then I went around the streets to ask people based on the portrait."

"I searched for several months and finally found some clues. The old woman had cancer, was in debt, and had no children."

"I guess he sold the night-shining pearl to pay off his debts."

"But when I got this information, the old woman was no longer alive."

"However, I did know about this matter from where she lived."

"The old lady's ancestors were military officers during the Republic of China period, but later they established a new China, opposed exploitation, and defeated capitalism."

"The old lady's ancestors fell into decline. I think it was at that time that the times changed and Empress Dowager Cixi's Night Pearl was truly hidden from the world."

"Oh, and when that old woman came to sell her Night-Shining Pearl, it looked as if she didn't know it was Empress Dowager Cixi's Night-Shining Pearl. She probably just thought it was an incredible jewel."

Boss Jin probably told everything he knew.

"Now that you put it that way, I understand."

Lin nodded thoughtfully, knowing that Boss Jin would not dare to lie to him about this matter.

In fact, Boss Jin did not lie. He told everything he knew, only adding some of his own guesses.

The result that Lin Han had originally guessed was not the case, but after hearing what Boss Jin said, it seemed very reasonable.

The soldiers during the Republic of China period might have had some relationship with Mrs. Chiang.

The Empress Dowager Cixi's Night Pearl finally fell into the hands of Madame Chiang, and then it disappeared from the eyes of the world.

Due to the frequent wars and fierce fighting at that time, it was not surprising that an officer could obtain such a treasure.
