He watched as Ai Jiaho and Hao Guming were taken to the police car.
The Ai Ci tilted her head and asked Gu Ting, "Did you call the police?" Although it was a question, her tone was clearly stating a fact. She was obviously not surprised.
Gu Ting's muffled voice came through the mask. "Yes."
He was also the one who borrowed Rong Yao's portrait.
And when he borrowed it, he heard a saying.
The painter and the person in the painting had a lot of feelings for each other, which was why the painting was so charming.
His heart skipped a beat. Is Rong Yao an ex-boyfriend again?
Moreover, he had already heard from the Ai Ci about the Tang Li and Han Jing. Han Jing's portrait was also originally drawn by the Ai Ci.
Could Han Jing also be an ex-boyfriend?
Although he knew that the Ai Ci was billions of years old,
His love history was definitely not a blank slate.
Gu Ting's heart still skipped a beat.
His chest felt a little stuffy.
Because his strength was unstable now,
Under such circumstances, the air around him also faintly vibrated. The Ai Ci immediately sensed it.
She could clearly feel that Gu Ting was a little hesitant.
He seemed to have something to ask her.
The Ai Ci asked directly, "What's wrong with you?"
Gu Ting pursed his lips.
He paused for a second.
Then, he asked tentatively, "Are you very good friends with Rong Yao?"
The Ai Ci smiled. "Of course."
Gu Ting's heart felt as if it had been frozen.
He listened stiffly as the Ai Ci said, "Rong Yao was a righteous hero.
He had the world in his heart. When I met him,
He was still very down and out.
But even so,
He still didn't change his mind. Unfortunately … "
The Ai Ci sighed and looked disappointed. "… he died young. Otherwise, he would have achieved even more. To a certain extent, he is somewhat similar to Han Jing, who you played. "
Listening to her tone and the content of her words,
Gu Ting's heart relaxed. So they were just ordinary friends.
He had misunderstood.
However, Gu Ting's tone was still slightly sour. "Why do you go around painting portraits of people?"
Ai Ci: "I happen to have this skill.
I'm just painting a portrait for my friend as a souvenir. "
Gu Ting: "Can I have a souvenir too?"
The Ai Ci smiled mysteriously. "What do you think I was drawing when you were watching the show?"
Gu Ting couldn't help but smile. "Me?"
The Ai Ci nodded affirmatively. "Yes, but the scene at that time was more suitable for oil painting."
Gu Ting did not understand. "The scene at that time?"
Ai Ci: "You and Tian Qi are watching 'The Battle of Arts and Sciences' together?"
Gu Ting stopped smiling and said expressionlessly, "Oh, so it's not a portrait of him."
While the two of them were talking, a policewoman walked over to them. She stole a few glances at the Ai Ci before asking with a red face, "Can the two of you come back with us to make a statement?"
The Ai Ci sighed. "I'm afraid not for the time being."
Gu Ting: "What's wrong?"
The Ai Ci tilted her head slightly and whispered in his ear, "Tian Qi is locked in the toilet."
Unexpectedly, Gu Ting said coldly, "It's okay. The environment in the toilet is beautiful and there's plenty of water. She'll be locked in there for a while. There's no hurry."
Yes, this was his revenge on the third wheel, Tian Qi.
However, the Ai Ci heard Tian Qi's miserable cries for help. She couldn't help but call Lin Qing and ask him to quickly rescue Tian Qi.
Then the two of them followed the policewoman into the police car.
…
In the police station, the victims were already sitting there waiting.
Those who could afford to buy Ai Ci's paintings were either rich or respectable, and their qualities were generally very high. Therefore, when they saw Ai Jiahu and Hao Guming enter, they did not hysterically pounce on the two of them and scold them. They only looked at them coldly and scolded, "Scum! Scum! "
They looked at them with disgust as if they were mud on the ground. For Hao Guming, who had the best reputation, this was the most unbearable.
However, he also knew that after today, all of his reputation and achievements would be gone. He would even be nailed to the pillar of shame forever because of the Ai family's reputation.
In fact, if he followed the current trajectory and worked hard as a professor at Jing University and an internet celebrity scholar, he would eventually get what he desired.
However, he was greedy.
Therefore, one wrong step led to many wrong steps.
In comparison, Ai Jiaho's skin was much thicker than Hao Guming's. Even if her identity was exposed, she still felt good about herself.
She said, "My painting skills aren't bad, right? You didn't lose out much. "
"Shut up! With your skills, how can you be compared to the Ai family? "One of the victims frowned.
Since there was no longer a need to pretend, Ai Jiaho decided to go all the way. She provoked, "I'm not worthy? Then why didn't you see it when you bought it? "
"Although it's true that we didn't have good eyesight, and that's why we let you fool us! But do you really think that your painting can be compared to the Ai family's? If it weren't for Hao Guming's guarantee, would we have believed you? The more we looked at it, the more we felt that the painting was not of the Ai family's standard. That's why we called the police together. "
"That's right. We didn't see the Ai family's painting up close, so we were tricked by the two of you. Later, when we saw the real painting, we realized how clumsy the imitation was!"
Ai Jiaho could tolerate her identity being exposed, but she couldn't tolerate her talent being insulted. She immediately jumped up and said, "My painting is clumsy? Are you all blind? "
However, those people's eyes suddenly lit up. They ignored her and rushed to the door.
"Miss Ai, I'm really sorry. We were blind. We actually believed that the fake miss's painting was from the Ai family. We're really ashamed."
"Miss Ai, I don't ask for a painting from you in this life, but I hope to have the opportunity to look at it and feast my eyes."
"Miss Ai, I have no regrets in this life to be able to see your real face today!"
"…"
The scene was like a fan meeting, and these fans were actually from powerful backgrounds.
This stark contrast was like a heavy slap to Ai Jiaho's face.
She didn't even feel so humiliated when she was exposed in public at the clubhouse.
Ai Jiaho was trembling with anger. She clenched her fists tightly and suddenly shook off the police behind her. She rushed to the crowd and said angrily, "How am I worse than her?"
"You're worse than her in every way." Gu Ting looked at her expressionlessly. "Fake miss, paranoia is an illness. It needs to be treated."
His indifferent tone was infuriating to Ai Jiaho's ears. Needless to say, it was the first time the others had seen someone so ignorant. They shook their heads and looked at her with disdain.
"How can a fake compare herself to the real thing?"
"How shameless. She pretended to be someone else first, but how can she still feel so good about herself?"
"The painting has no charm, and the zither has no spiritual energy. If I hadn't been so excited to see the descendant of the Ai family, and Hao Guming who vouched for her, who is also a reputable scholar, how could I have been fooled by something of this standard?"
"…"
Ai Jiaho had studied hard for many years and was the most outstanding child of her generation in the family. That was why she was qualified to be sent out to pretend to be the Ai Ci.
She was also a person who was revered by many in the family and had always been extremely conceited.
Even when the Ai Ci exposed her identity at the clubhouse, the evidence presented was only from the perspective of the authenticity of the painting and whether or not she was omnipotent. Therefore, Ai Jiaho felt that her talent had not been denied. Therefore, she could still maintain a trace of calmness and wait for her family to come to her rescue. She firmly believed that she could still make a comeback with her outstanding talent.
But now, her self-righteous dream was suddenly exposed by everyone. Ai Jiaho, who was unwilling to believe it, suddenly became hysterical. "Shut up, all of you! I'm not bad, I'm not bad at all! Even if I can't beat her in science, I'm not worse than her in liberal arts. You're only supporting her because of her identity as the Ai family. If you put aside all her background, tell me honestly, is her talent really better than mine? "
Everyone nodded and said, "That's right."
"To be honest, you're the one who used the name of the Ai Family to attract everyone's attention from the beginning. Otherwise, with your standard, why would we notice you? "
Ai Jiaho almost went crazy. "No! It's not like that! "
Her expression was very distorted. She waved her arms as if she was about to rush up and hit someone. Unfortunately, she was immediately pressed to the ground by the police who saw that the situation was not good and forcefully took her away.
"Is she crazy?" someone asked.
"Crazy? Ha, she's probably faking it. Mental illness can reduce the punishment. So, she can't be crazy, and she can't be crazy, "another person replied coldly.
They had been tricked by Ai Jiaho. Losing money was nothing, but losing face was a big deal, so there was no way they would let her go. Even if Ai Jiaho was really crazy, they would make the report say that she was "mentally normal."
…
The Ai Ci's live broadcast ended when Ai Jiaho and Hao Guming were taken away by the police.
However, the bullet screen and Weibo had completely exploded. The major entertainment news media took the lead to report this matter:
Entertainment Pioneers: [Latest development! Ai Jiaho has been taken away by the police on suspicion of fraud! What a big melon!] And according to insiders, the fraud amount was as high as hundreds of millions …
Entertainment Gossip: [The Battle of the Real and Fake Ai Family: Has the dust settled or will the reversal continue?] Is this the end of this big show? Will there be a new reversal later? …
Slag Wave Entertainment: [Expert or expert? Talent or cauliflower?] With the intervention of the police, the identities of the Ai Jiaho, who was supported by experts, and the talented Ai Ci seemed to have been revealed. However, until the last moment, the editor still did not dare to easily take sides …
UC Entertainment: [It's confirmed! This female star has always been ridiculed for her education, but today it was revealed that her family background is amazing!] …
Not long after, the mainstream media also followed up with reports, but their focus was slightly different:
Jinjiang News: [Jing University exposed another scandal, a history professor suspected of fraud, the amount involved is hundreds of millions] Reporters learned from the police that Jing University professor Hao Guming and his accomplices pretended to be the descendants of famous artists and sold fake paintings. The price of each painting was as high as tens of millions … Hao Guming? Good reputation!
Huaxia News: [Academic version of "The Emperor's New Clothes": The experts have collectively made a mistake. When will the impetuous academic world stop?]
…
Therefore, this matter was entertaining, cultural, and social at the same time. From star-chasing girls to Buddhist passersby, from professionals to ordinary people, from old to young, from men to women, everyone was very concerned about this matter. All kinds of in-depth analysis were circulating on the Internet, and the popularity was high.
At the same time, because some blurry photos of the scene were leaked, the mysterious assistant of the Ai Ci also attracted some attention.
Topic: Although the man in the military coat is dressed in tattered clothes, he is inexplicably handsome! Also, he looks so familiar. I have a bold guess …
Beiyu Xuan Qing: Upstairs, are you guessing the same as me?
However, such guesses were quickly drowned out by the army of fans who confessed to the Ai Ci.
Because it was human nature to worship the strong, Ai Ci's fans had a new surge.
In the eyes of fans and passersby, celebrities in the entertainment industry could be divided into three, six, and nine grades. Those who relied on their looks were inferior, and those who relied on their talent were superior. Those who had looks, talent, and character were superior.
Obviously, Ai Ci had been classified as superior.
After this incident, although her works were still not many, when people mentioned her, there would be a trace of reverence.
Upingyou: I didn't have any idea of how powerful Ai family was before, but now that I know that a painting is worth tens of millions, the concept suddenly became clear!
Memory Or Rui Qiuqiu: So our bunny really has such a powerful background? Her looks and talent can be said to be super awesome! Oh my god, what kind of existence did I become a fan of!
Mushroom Yanko: Isn't it just knees? I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you. Hello everyone, I'm from Wuxi, you can call me a kneeless person in the future.
Zijin: We both received nine years of compulsory education, why is upstairs so outstanding? Today, we are all kneeless people (serious face).
Hua Zhou: Is that exhibition open to the public? I want to see Bunny Ji ahhhhh!
Painting Opera Biubiubiu ~: Let me tell everyone a piece of good news, the amount of fraud reached a few hundred million, these two people will probably be sentenced to life ^ o ^
…
Lin Qing, who received the Ai Ci's call and rushed to Gu Ting's house to save Tian Qi, was standing at the door, stunned.
Oh my god? This house is full of antiques, right? So many?!
However, he didn't care about how much these things were worth. He only thought about how urgent it was to save Tian Qi, so he immediately looked back and forth from the door to the toilet.
It was so blocked, how the hell was he going to get through!
However, Lin Qing sighed and started a huge project without complaint.
— — He moved everything away bit by bit, slowly making a path.
When Lin Qing finally moved to the toilet, he encountered the biggest obstacle on the way — —
