Two necklaces in hand, Gu Meng carefully grasped them in her palm.

  The chain on her left hand didn't feel warm at first, but when Gu Mei's fingers touched the surface of the ruby, it transmitted a certain degree of warmth, just limited and not enough to make her feel scalded.

  Gu Mian felt a bit strange, so she carefully touched the red gemstone and found that except for the top and bottom of the ruby, which had some heat, the middle part was completely cold. Moreover, the metal used to set the gemstone was not real gold, but rather gold-plated. This made it clear that the necklace was fake.

  This fake technique is a common method used to counterfeit gemstones, commonly known as half-true two-layer stone. The crown of the half-true two-layer stone is made up of real natural rubies, while the pavilion is often made by fusing synthetic rubies using the flame fusion method, or sometimes red spinel is used as a substitute.

  To identify this fake gemstone, generally speaking, it requires the assistance of instruments. If not for Gu's left hand being able to feel the heat emitted by the antique, it may not be possible to distinguish it at all.

  Gu Xiang made a judgment in her heart and pretended to carefully observe the necklace, putting another one into her left hand.

  This time as expected, a scorching heat was clearly transmitted from the left hand, and the hottest place was on the surface of the ruby.

  At the same time, when Gu Mei touched the real "Rose Queen", a full joy rose in her heart. Perhaps because of the red gemstone representing passion in her hand, after this joy, Gu Mei seemed to have also felt the passion emitted by the red gemstone, and a faint European palace song echoed from the bottom of her heart.

  Gu Xiang guessed that this "Rose Queen" was probably worn by European court ladies before, and over time it blended into the atmosphere. It's just that the gemstone that makes her faintly hear a song is something she has never encountered before.

  In order to avoid any mistakes, Gu Qing carefully stroked the necklace on her left hand again, using the same method as before, and found that the gemstone was absolutely fine, emitting a scorching heat from every angle.

  Gu Mei thought of the "Rose Queen" that had been repaired by Huang Laobo, and she must have found some differences in the inlaid place or chain. She carefully stroked the base of the necklace and the chain, trying to find any differences.

  As expected, at the inlaid gemstone base, Gu Ming felt a different place. The surroundings were all warm, but there was a small piece of land that didn't transmit any temperature, it seemed that this was the place where Huang Laobo had repaired it.

  Although she already had an answer in her mind, it was inevitable that others would think she was too hasty and careless in her identification. Gu Mei couldn't stop what she was doing now either.

  Besides, this top-grade ruby is something she may not see in her lifetime, let alone touch at such close range. She'd better take a good look, or else it would be a waste of this heaven-sent opportunity.

  She is a professional in identifying antiques, although antique jewelry is also a type of antique, but it emphasizes the value of the gemstone itself in addition to its style. Gu Mei is not very clear about the identification of rubies either.

  An ordinary gemstone necklace that has been preserved for 300 years is absolutely inferior to an exquisite gemstone necklace that has just been cut and crafted. Unless the 300-year-old ordinary gemstone necklace possesses special historical cultural significance.

  Natural rubies are typically "ten red and nine cracks", with no flaws or inclusions, extremely rare. Artificial rubies have consistent color, fewer internal defects or inclusions, cleaner crystal bodies, and larger block sizes.

  If a more precise identification is to be made, it will undoubtedly require the help of precision instruments to observe the internal structure of the gemstone more carefully. However, time is pressing now and there are no available instruments around that can be used by Gu Yin, so she can only use some simple methods that she knows to identify it.

  The most valuable red rubies are those with the deepest color. The stones known as "pigeon blood" rubies, which have a very high value, owe their name to the deep red colour reminiscent of the first two drops of blood from a pigeon's nostrils. This intense and vivid colour is considered to be the true face of the ruby.

  It's just a pity that most rubies have pale colors and a pinkish tint, so pigeon blood rubies are more valuable.

  Moreover, due to the intense and vibrant color of rubies, people in the past believed that it was the incarnation of a dead bird, generating ardent fantasies. The natural production place of ruby is extremely rare, high-quality rubies are only produced in Myanmar, and the output is gradually decreasing, now it can be said that it has almost disappeared, large stones no longer appear.

  The "Rose Queen" in Gu's hand not only has large grains and good transparency, but also exquisite cutting craftsmanship. What's even more rare is its color, which is the most valuable "pigeon blood" red gemstone among rubies.

  Holding the real "Rose Queen" in hand, observing at a certain angle, you can clearly see with the naked eye that there are many thread-like objects on the surface of the ruby, which is precisely an important sign of true gemstones.

  On the contrary, inclusions can also occur in synthetic rubies and sapphires. The inclusions are not various minerals but gas bubbles. The appearance of gas bubbles is usually irregular, dense clusters or may appear as feathers.

  "Sir, Mr. Al has forced his way in." Just as Gu Mei was still observing the 'Rose Queen', the bodyguard who had been sent by Robert to block the person came running back.

  As soon as he finished speaking, a foreign man who was also very tall rushed in from outside, followed by several people.

  Gu Mei saw the situation and didn't dare to delay any longer, so she simply handed the real "Rose Queen" to Robert's hands, and stuffed the fake necklace into Tang Ming's hands beside her.

  Tang Ming was also clever and didn't make a sound after receiving the necklace, he just carefully put it away.

  Robert glanced at Gu Mei and tightly grasped the "Rose Queen" in his hand.

  That Mr. Al moved quickly, and in no time he was standing in front of Robert, not even glancing at the people beside him, with a slightly arrogant expression directly facing Robert: "Robert, I heard the news on my way here, didn't you have someone carefully check before? How could there still be a bomb? The few people behind me are anti-explosion experts I had summoned immediately. What's the situation with 'Rose Queen' now?"

  Robert glanced at those so-called explosion-proof experts and said slowly: "The 'Rose Queen' is fine."

  "Wasn't the Rose Queen damaged at all in that chaos just now?" Albert looked at Robert with some disbelief, and continued: "You know I'm responsible for bringing the Rose Queen back intact this time. Luckily, I have a friend who's an expert in gemstone appraisal with me, let him take a look first."

  Indeed, the newcomer is not benevolent, even bringing a gemstone appraiser along.

  "Robert heard the other's almost rude questioning, and a hint of anger also appeared on his face. 'Mr. Al, please pay attention to your tone, don't you think it's too coincidental that you showed up? An explosives expert, a friend who appraises gems.'"

  "Robert, what does this mean? Do you know yourself?" Al said with a malicious tone.

  Robert snorted and didn't respond.

  "'The Rose Queen' is a family treasure, and to ensure its safety I have the right to do so." Al looked at Robert unyieldingly, with an expression that said he had to check it immediately.

  Robert glanced at Gu Mian with a seemingly unintentional glance from the corner of his eye and found that Gu Mian was nodding slightly towards him.

  "Robert..." Alra's voice trailed off: "You've been slow to bring out the 'Rose Queen', is there some problem with it?"

  "If we're going to check, let's go outside and talk about it. It's not safe here. I think you haven't forgotten that there are still bombs here! And even if we need to inspect the 'Rose Queen', it won't make a difference of just a little bit of time. You're in such a hurry..." Robert smiled coldly, staring straight at Al.

  Al also hummed a nursery rhyme at Robert with a cold smile, then slightly turned his body to indicate that Robert should go out with him, which meant he agreed with Robert's statement.

  The bodyguard who was in charge of collecting the exhibits also finished collecting them, and the group prepared to leave the exhibition hall.

  Gu Mian and Qin Sheng also left together, when they were about to leave the exhibition hall, Gu Mian found that several people rushed in from outside and ran straight to the showcase where Jin Lu Yu Yi was placed, apparently preparing to move Jin Lu Yu Yi out.

  This shocked Gu Mei, her attention had been on the Rose Queen just now, and she couldn't have imagined that at this time, the Jinlv Yuyi worth a city was still not transferred out, while other exhibits had already been moved away.

  With this thread of doubt, Gu Mei finally followed the crowd out of the exhibition hall.

  Before long, the police arrived and the public servants were quite efficient. They immediately sealed off the scene and expressed some dissatisfaction with Mr. Al's privately invited bomb disposal expert, but since he was a foreigner, they didn't pursue it further due to international relations considerations.

  While the police were sealing off the scene, that set of golden silk clothes was also smoothly transferred out.

  The weight of the golden silk clothes is not light, in order to ensure safety, at least 10 strong men carefully lifted it out, and once they were lifted out, they were tightly surrounded in the middle for protection, lest someone accidentally touched them.

  While Gu Mian glanced at the person in golden brocade clothes for a short moment on the scene, Mr. Shi Youcai, who was also wearing golden brocade clothes, stood beside him, frowning tightly, obviously in a very bad mood.
