The situation in the Capital was more dangerous than in Shanghai, yet the Forbidden City Museum was well protected, and the Cultural Relics Bureau was also spared, allowing a large number of cultural relics to be preserved. Most of the damage was likely from items confiscated from people's homes.
Valuable cultural artifacts and paintings in the homes of people like Wen Ruyu, Jin Ruochu, and Huang Qinghong had long been destroyed right in front of them.
Such fine treasures could never be retrieved.
Therefore, all Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue could do was wander through the large and small scrap yards, scavenging as many cultural relics as possible. Constantly changing their appearance, they visited different scrap yards every day without arousing anyone's suspicion.
After five days of hard work, Feng Qingxue realized when sorting and recording that the number of cultural relics found in the Capital's scrap yards was in fact less than in Shanghai's.
