"I'm really sorry, I wasted your time by taking you two to see a fake."

He Qiujun looked ugly and said apologetically.

As soon as these words came out, the thin old man couldn't sit still anymore: "Why do you say my paintings are fake!"

"Mr. Hu, calm down."

Mr. Wen hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him.

"The original is in the museum, and Mr. Wen has also authenticated it. Old man, you better not be too stubborn."

He Qiujun shook his head and looked at the old man sympathetically.

Old Man Hu was angry but could not express it: "No, my painting "Autumn Thoughts in the Frost Forest" was secretly exchanged for a fake by a general when the national army moved south. It cannot be fake!"

"So how did this painting come into your hands?"

Su Bai asked curiously.

"He is my cousin. Because he lost contact with his relatives in the mainland, he left this painting to me after his death! He has more than just this painting in his hands, there are so many good things!"

Old Man Hu showed off.

Su Bai's eyes lit up and he asked quickly: "Then what good things does the old general have?"

"The old guy was a drunkard and a gambler. He had sold out all the good stuff a long time ago. This painting was all he had left before he died."

Old Man Hu said regretfully.

"Well, why don't you sell me this painting?"

"How much did you pay?"

"How about 100 million?"

"No way, 100 million is just teasing me!"

Old Man Hu stretched out five fingers and snorted: "My painting is worth 5 million!"

Su Bai shrugged.

She had long heard Yu Qingqian say that Mr. Li's offer was 3000 million.

Old Man Hu insisted on 1 million.

When the Japanese heard about this, they also found him and offered 5000 million, but they asked for expert appraisal first.

Old Man Hu agreed.

As a result, the Japanese discovered that the painting turned out to be "Autumn Thoughts in the Frost Forest" and were dumbfounded. They suspected that the painting was a fake and made various excuses to delay it.

After that, Yu Qingqian began to spread rumors that the painting was a fake.

With the help of the National Security Bureau, rumors quickly spread among Hong Kong Island collectors.

Even the auction house notified Old Man Hu and asked for a re-appraisal of the painting.

In desperation, Old Man Hu could only come to the senior appraisal expert Wen Lao for appraisal.

Mr. Wen gave the appraisal result and found that the painting was old, but it could not be verified that it was the authentic work of Dong Qichang.

It was suggested that he sell it at the price of ordinary ancient paintings.

Of course Old Man Hu refused to agree.

He also expected to use the money to buy a wedding house for his grandson!
He Qiujun stepped forward and kindly persuaded: "Old sir, one million is already a lot. If it were someone else, I would give you 100 to [-] at most, which would be enough."

Old Man Hu snorted coldly and ignored him.

He Qiujun's face was a little confused.

In order not to embarrass himself in front of Su Bai, he asked instead: "Come here, are there any other ancient paintings in Wen Lao's shop? Take them out and show them to us."

"Wait a mininute."

He Qiujun is an old customer of Wen Lao, so Wen Lao will not neglect him and starts rummaging through the boxes.

After a while, he came out holding a scroll: "This is "Bangs Playing with Golden Toad" by Min Zhen, one of the Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou in the Qing Dynasty. Mr. He can appreciate it."

"Let me see."

He Qiujun opened the scroll of "Bangs Playing with Golden Toad" and spread it flat on the table.

Mr. Wen introduced at the side: "Most of the figure paintings handed down by Min Zhen are extensive and freehand, but this painting is more rigorous. The outline of the figure is smoother, and the style is clear and delicate."

He Qiujun nodded frequently, but when he saw that Su Bai didn't seem to care much, he asked again: "Are there any other paintings?"

"There are some others, but they are not treasures. They are all placed downstairs."

Mr. Wen said with regret.

"Shall we go down and have a look?"

He Qiujun suggested.

Su Bai followed the current and followed him downstairs.

Old Hu was left sulking and drinking tea.

to the first floor.

Su Bai took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Yu Qingqian.

There is only one sentence in the content: ""Autumn Thoughts in the Frost Forest" is an authentic work by Dong Qichang, so Mr. Li can take action."

After all this trouble, Old Man Hu most likely felt that the painting in his hand would not fetch a sky-high price.

The Japanese were deceived by her and focused their attention on the Yaobian Tianmu Zhan.

It is impossible to spend tens of millions to buy a painting that is most likely to be a fake.

Now only Mr. Li is willing to pay a high price, it is a good time to acquire paintings.

When Yu Qingqian saw the message, he was also stunned.

"When did Su Bai come into contact with the seller of Dong Qichang's paintings?"

The news was too explosive.

The so-called painting by Dong Qichang is actually "Autumn Thoughts in the Frost Forest"!
A masterpiece preserved in the National Palace Museum in Bay Island!

Simply incredible!
He subconsciously wondered if the Bay Island Museum had also been stolen.

He quickly replied to the message and asked, "Are you really sure it's authentic?"

"It's an authentic one, the one on Wandao is a fake."

"understood."

Yu Qingqian trusted Su Bai from the bottom of his heart and did not dare to neglect him at all.

Contact Mr. Li immediately to restart the acquisition.

……

Several experts who came to Hong Kong Island were called to the hotel by Mr. Li.

Mr. Li informed everyone about the acquisition.

When he announced that the painting he was planning to acquire was Dong Qichang's "Autumn Thoughts in the Frost Forest", all the experts were in an uproar.

"Everyone, be quiet. After many years of research, I believe that there is something wrong with the "Autumn Thoughts in the Frost Forest" in Wandao. The seal on it is particularly problematic, as there are traces of it being added by later generations."

"Today just proves what I said, "Autumn Thoughts in the Frost Forest" is indeed on Hong Kong Island!"

After hearing this, most people subconsciously thought that Mr. Li was old and confused.

Lu Chenglong also took the lead and strongly opposed the acquisition.

"How can you waste the country's money on a fake!"

As an expert of the same generation as Mr. Li, Lu Chenglong took action on the case.

Yi Zheng said: "Mr. Li is confused! Do you know that the celestial eye lamp of the Song Dynasty appeared on Hong Kong Island? We should change the acquisition target immediately!"

"Yes, the Yaobian Tianmu Zhan is much more reliable than a painting whose authenticity is unknown!"

Several experts also chimed in.

Mr. Li said: "Other experts have already taken care of the matter of the Yao Transformation Tianmu Zhan, so we don't need to worry about it."

"Mr. Li, I heard that the Japanese are also eyeing the Yaobian Tianmu Zhan! Is the person you are talking about reliable?"

Mr. Lu questioned.

"If we miss the celestial eye lamp, we will all become sinners in history!"

Some experts were excited.

"The person responsible for acquiring the Yaobian Tianmu Zhan is more professional than most people present. I believe she will be able to bring the Yaobian Tianmu Zhan back to the mainland."

As soon as these words came out, the experts present looked at each other.

Several of the most authoritative experts in the country have been summoned by Mr. Li. Who else is more advanced than them?
However, the superiors have given Mr. Li full responsibility for this matter. Mr. Li refused to tell and they couldn't ask, so they simply stopped asking.

At Mr. Li's insistence, everyone agreed to purchase "Autumn Thoughts in the Frost Forest".

the other side.

Su Bai and He Qiujun walked around Hollywood Road for a long time, but what they found was a slim blue and white glazed vase.

There are multiple lines visible to the naked eye on one side of this cylinder bottle.

There are also several gaps along the mouth edge.

In the end, it only cost Su Bai 5 yuan.

He Qiujun asked with confusion: "Are you going to take this as a gift to your uncle?"

"Otherwise? Don't you also say that this bottle is an antique with a wide open door."

Su Bai said with a smile.

"But this bottle is defective."

"If you turn to the back, you won't be able to see the line crossing."

Su Bai's words left He Qiujun speechless.

He Qiujun didn't know how to evaluate Su Bai.

On the one hand, the girl in front of me is willing to spend a lot of money to buy fakes, but on the other hand, she is very fussy about it.

When buying an antique that is full of flaws, you have to bargain with the shop owner.

After thinking about it for a long time, I stopped thinking about it.

"Miss Su, do you mind going to have a meal together?"

He Qiujun extended the invitation.

"alright."

Su Bai smiled and said: "I heard that Hong Kong Island's wonton noodles are very famous. Go and eat wonton noodles. I'll treat you."

"..."

He Qiujun was speechless.

That kind of small shop full of customers, where is the best place for a date?

But since Su Bai wanted to go, he couldn't refuse.I could only bite the bullet and recommended a relatively famous store nearby.

10 minute later.

The two of them sat in the small shop, sucking on the noodles.

"tasty."

Su Bai praised.

He Qiujun also nodded: "Indeed, it tastes better than the one made in the hotel."

He suddenly felt that the current atmosphere seemed good.

He was planning to take a step further and invite Su Bai to watch a movie after dinner.

The phone rang suddenly.

The caller was his classmate when he was studying in the UK.

The Chinese name is Gao Shi.

He is a British man who speaks very fluent Chinese.

Currently working at the British Consulate General on Hong Kong Island.

The two haven't contacted each other for some time.

He Qiujun picked up the phone and said, "Old Gao, what do you want from me? Do you want to spend a few days in Ao Island?"

"I'll go back when I have time. I'm looking for you because I want to inquire about someone..."

He Qiujun was stunned after hearing Su Bai's name from Gao Shi's mouth.

It’s so strange that so many people suddenly come to Su Bai through him!

"Did Miss Su buy a painting at Mr. Li's house recently?"

Gao Shi asked on the phone.

"good."

He Qiujun recalled the "Picture of Admonitions of Women's History" that Su Bai bought, and wondered: "That painting is just a fake. Why do you ask about it?"

Gao Shi said bluntly: "You are wrong. The antique dealer Charles helped the British Museum thief sell the stolen goods. He is now wanted. The painting "Proverbs of a Female History" is an authentic work preserved by the British Museum."

"There is also a celestial eye lamp, which was also stolen from the British Museum's warehouse by thieves."

"what!"

When He Qiujun heard the news, he stood up from his seat in shock.

The customers in the store were startled by his voice.

They all turned their heads and looked at He Qiujun with strange eyes.

"Feel sorry……"

He Qiujun came to his senses and hurriedly apologized to the guests around him.

After chatting with Gao Shi for a few more words, he finally put down the phone.

He looked at Su Bai with bright eyes.

He was stunned when he missed a celestial eye lamp.

Now I know that the "Pictures of Admonitions of Women's History" in Su Bai's hands is also authentic, which is simply incredible.

Anyone else would have thought this was a fantasy.

But this happened right under He Qiujun's nose, so he couldn't help but not believe it.

"Miss Su, do you have the "Picture of Proverbs for Women's History" in your hand?"

He Qiujun pondered for a long time before asking.

"Not bad, what's the matter?"

Su Bai replied after swallowing the last big mouthful of wonton noodles.

"Did you know that it was authentic?"

he asked with a serious face.

"Don't be ridiculous, that's a fake."

Su Bai waved his hand.

She won't admit it.

He Qiujun did not inquire further and continued: "My friend said that Charles is now a wanted criminal in the UK, and the things he bought were stolen goods from the British Museum."

"Really?"

Su Bai seemed to have heard about this for the first time, and his face was full of surprise.

"My friend also said that the British want to get the painting back from you, and they said they would compensate you for your losses."

"Your friend is kidding, it's just a fake. Did they make a mistake?"

"But the Yao Transformation Tianmu Zhan is real."

He Qiujun said seriously.

"What's the relationship between the two?"

Su Bai blinked: "The tea bowl is real, but it doesn't prove that the painting is also real."

"Both items are in the collection of the British Museum."

"Really? I haven't heard that there is a celestial eye lamp in the British Museum."

Su Bai said with a smile.

If you want to prove that the Yaobian Tianmu lamp came from the British Museum, you must first provide evidence.

He Qiujun was speechless for a moment.

It's possible that what Charles was selling was a fake.

This can only be proven by finding him himself.

What He Qiujun didn't know was that Charles had been controlled by people from the National Security Bureau.

Even if the British find Su Bai, they can't prove that the things in Su Bai's hands come from the British Museum.

"Then I'll answer the other side for you. You'd better be careful."

He Qiujun reminded.

"Understood, I will pay attention."

Su Bai replied with a smile.

"Pictures of Admonitions of Women's History" had long been sent to the National Security Bureau by her, and it is probably on its way back to China now.

As for Yaobian Tianmu Zhan, after deceiving the Japanese, comrades from the National Security Bureau also took over.

Both national treasures are closely protected.

After this incident, He Qiujun's original good mood was gone.

Su Bai proposed to go back and rest.

He Qiujun did not force her, saying that he would send her back to Qian's house.

He always thought that Su Bai lived in Qian Xiaoqian's home.

Su Bai waved his hand: "No need to send me off, I can just take a taxi back myself."

"Okay, I'll treat you to tea tomorrow."

He Qiujun smiled.

Gao Shi asked him to meet later, most likely because of Su Bai's affairs.

He decided to inquire about the situation.

After the two separated.

Su Bai stopped a taxi on the roadside.

Just as he was about to get in the car, his cell phone rang.

"Hey?"

Su Bai was a little surprised when he saw that the call was from Director Li.

"Xiao Su, don't get in that car."

"understood."

Su Bai suddenly became alert.

The taxi driver urged impatiently: "Beautiful girl, are you going to get in the car or not?"

"No, I'll make a call. You can leave first."

Su Bai waved his hand.

The driver hesitated and drove away.

Director Li's voice sounded again: "The driver of the car behind is one of us, get in that car."

Immediately afterwards, Su Bai saw a taxi driving towards her not far away.

Without waiting for her to wave, the car stopped in front of her.

The driver, who had a sleek crew cut, smiled at Su Bai and said, "Director Li asked me to pick you up."

"Thank you."

Subei opened the door and got into the car.

The young driver turned around and said, "Comrade Xiao Su, someone has been following you since this morning."

Su Bai asked in surprise: "Whose side are they on?"

"There are people from both the Japanese and British sides."

"Then you can't go to the National Security Bureau?"

"No, there's a car following behind."

The driver reminded.

When Su Bai turned around, he saw a bright black BMW ten meters behind the taxi.

The driver deliberately turned at the intersection ahead.

The BMW behind also turned around.

At this time, Su Bai finally confirmed that he was being followed.

"How to do?"

she asked nervously.
