The Spanish appraiser was just as unsettled. He also began contacting Spain's National Museum.
Picasso's Woman Holding a Golden Drum was one of their national treasures, too.
What's more, it was one of Picasso's greatest works, the finest of all his paintings.
They had to buy it back for Spain. They couldn't let it remain in the hands of a private individual in this Eastern Country.
"Looks like these two paintings are genuine." Now that Wu Kai knew the truth, he still couldn't hide his amazement.
"They're genuine!" Zhang Yuanzhi exclaimed in astonishment.
"This is unbelievable." Zhu Sanqing, the chairman of the Painting Appraisers Association, looked utterly shocked.
The other appraisers were equally stunned.
Two masterpieces that had supposedly vanished beneath the ocean in Western history had appeared right before their eyes.
And how had the boss of Qinglin Company gotten his hands on them?
That was incredible.
Even if the rumors that the paintings had sunk into the sea were false, they had surely been kept in the collection of some great collector in such pristine condition.
So how could anyone have gotten their hands on them without some remarkable means?
Qin Lin now knew that the two paintings were genuine, too.
He was even more excited about Lake Mine.
With 255 floors, Lake Mine could certainly supply the treasures for a world-class museum.
He wondered how astonishing it would be if he dug up one Western national treasure after another in Lake Mine and put them on display in the museum at Qinglin Villa.
Would those Western countries be furious? Maybe he could get some payback for the Eight-Nation Alliance's looting of the Old Summer Palace.
With that thought, Qin Lin signaled to Chen Dabe.
Chen Dabe immediately began collecting the paintings, placing them back in their boxes.
