She turned around and looked at the young man in surprise. It was Zhuo Bufan.
Zhuo Bufan was also on the stage. He was curious about what kind of magic the other party used, but he saw through it at a glance. It was Yin Qi. Others couldn't see it, but he could see that there was a layer of black mist lingering on the white jade zodiac.
Spiritual Qi wasn't needed for cultivation. There were demonic cultivators, ghost cultivators, and various sects that absorbed Yin Qi. There were even beasts that absorbed blood Qi and ferocious Qi.
The young man was just using a small trick to confuse ordinary people.
Since he had seen through Zhuo Bufan, he wasn't interested. What he was interested in was who was auctioning these things, especially the mini cauldron. If only it was bigger.
Chen Qingai frowned and said softly, "What did you say is a fake?"
"If the white jade zodiac you bought isn't a fake, then what is it?" Zhuo Bufan said calmly.
Chen Jiamu and Chi Yunhai hadn't left yet. They had just signed the contract. When they heard what he said, they were immediately unhappy.
"You think you have the right to interrupt?" Chen Jiamu stared at Zhuo Bufan coldly.
"I'm just telling the truth. The white jade zodiac is a fake." Zhuo Bufan was still calm.
His words were like a bomb thrown into the crowd. Instantly, the crowd was stirred.
"Fake? I think it's a fake too. Why would such a precious antique suddenly appear in Jinling? That's strange. "
"Nonsense. It must be real. I've been studying antiques for more than 20 years. I'm very familiar with antiques made during the Qianlong period. It must be real."
"I also think it's true. Although modern technology can imitate the details of the appearance and make it look lifelike, an antique is an antique after all. It's impossible to imitate the accumulation of time."
Elder Zhang was furious. A young man suddenly stood out and said the white jade zodiac was a fake. Didn't that mean he had seen it wrongly?
"Young man, you said the white jade zodiac is a fake. Let me ask you, do you understand the patterns on it?" Elder Zhang asked angrily.
Zhuo Bufan shook his head.
Elder Zhang snorted coldly, "Then you have studied the craftsmanship of the products made during the Qianlong period?"
Zhuo Bufan still shook her head.
"You don't understand the special pattern, and you don't understand the craftsmanship. How dare you make a judgment here?" Elder Zhang snorted coldly.
"Old Zhang is a famous figure in the antique industry. He definitely has good taste."
"Since Old Zhang has guaranteed it, it can't be wrong."
"Who is this kid? You look like a student, yet you're here to interfere. You don't have any manners at all. This is outrageous. "
Hearing their words, Chi Yunhai squinted at Zhuo Bufan, shook his head and said with a smile, "You are just a poor boy. I'm afraid you can't even afford an antique in your whole life. Don't you think it's shameful for you to come here and criticize others?"
Zhuo Bufan gathered her spirit energy in her eyes and glared at the white jade zodiac. The black mist that was invisible to ordinary people instantly disappeared without a trace.
With a single glance, he broke through the Camouflage Technique.
If the opponent was at his level, it wouldn't have been so easy to break through the Camouflage Technique. It seemed that the person who cast the Camouflage Technique hadn't even touched the threshold of Taoism.
"Why don't you take another look?" Zhuo Bufan said calmly.
"Huh? Why do I feel that something is different?" Someone glanced at it curiously and said in surprise.
A few people went up to take a few more glances and all frowned. Elder Zhang said, "How can it be different all of a sudden? There are so many people here. How can someone turn the white jade zodiac into a fake one?"
After saying that, he took a magnifying glass and took a few more glances. Suddenly, his face changed color and he fell to the ground, covered in cold sweat.
Just like what the person had said, modern technology was changing every day. It wasn't difficult to duplicate antiques. The key was the precipitation of the aura contained in the antique, which couldn't be duplicated.
But now …
The white jade zodiac was still crystal clear under the light. The carvings of the twelve zodiac animals were vivid and lifelike, but they lacked a sense of style.
"Elder Zhang, what's wrong?" Chen Jiamu's heart skipped a beat.
Elder Zhang said with a sad face, "I didn't expect that there would be a day when I, Zhang, would make a mistake. Mr. Chen, I've let everyone down. I've let everyone down."
Didn't he understand what Elder Zhang meant?
It was fake, but the contract had already been signed. Although they didn't pay, who would dare to renege on the Jia Shi Auction House's debt?
Chen Jiamu nearly fainted from the rush of blood. He was stunned on the spot. Under the spotlight, he swayed. The people around him had gloating expressions.
"Mom, Mom, what's wrong? Don't scare me." Chen Qingai suddenly saw her mother faint and fall to the ground. She was so frightened that she quickly went up to help her up.
Chen Jiamu's mind went blank.
Not to mention that they had wasted twenty million dollars, if the contract was up and France's Jeffery wanted to settle the score with them, they would have to compensate them another ten million dollars. In addition to the money from the company's loan, Chen Jiamu would go bankrupt and fall from grace.
Chen Qingai's eyes were red. She lifted her head with tears in her eyes. She looked at Zhuo Bufan, who still had a calm expression on her face. She bit her lips hard. "Zhuo Bufan, if you knew that this white jade zodiac animal was a fake, why didn't you say so earlier?"
"What does it have to do with me? How did your parents treat my mother back then? You should know that I didn't take revenge on them because of our past relationship. "
"It's already been a few years. Are you still not willing to forgive my parents?" Chen Qingai bit her lips so hard that it looked like she was going to bleed.
Zhuo Bufan glanced at her, shook her head, turned around and walked down the stage, leaving behind a sentence.
"If good and evil go unpunished, there must be a hidden agenda!"
After the auction ended, in the hotel's VIP room.
Lian Lian stood by the glass window with a goblet in hand. She looked down at the bright lights of the building and the traffic on the street.
"Mr. Lian, I've already informed Mr. Jeffery in France. He'll be looking for Chen Jiamu soon. This time, the Chen family is finished." The assistant stood behind her.
The corners of Lian Lian's mouth slowly curled up into a proud smile. "They even dared to lie to our Lian family. Sooner or later, there will be retribution. Don't blame me for being ruthless."
"That's right, where is Master Wu?"
"After coming back from the auction, Master Wu seemed to have something to do, so he didn't come with me," the assistant said.
At that moment, Master Wu was standing at the door of a guest room. He felt unbearably nervous, and his forehead was covered in a fine layer of cold sweat.
Who would have thought that the famous master in Zhongzhou, a political elite, a business hero, and a distinguished guest, would now be like a child who had done something wrong.
If Lian Lian saw this, her jaw would drop.
After hesitating for a while, he finally knocked on the door.
