However, other than Jian Xing’er, no one knew that Guo Yongjie was a charlatan who couldn’t tell if it was a treasure or a fake at all. There was only one criterion for his appraisal, and that was that what rich people brought were real, and what those without power brought were fake. “Today’s Treasure Appraisal Conference has ended. If anyone still wants any treasures to be appraised in the future, you’re welcome to look for me anytime.” Guo Yongjie smiled and bowed to the audience.

Everyone below the stage quickly thanked him. “Mr. Guo, it’s been hard on you today. If it weren’t for you, I would have almost thrown away the treasure!” “That’s right, Mr. Guo! 1 really don’t know how to thank you!” Hearing everyone’s flattery, Guo Yongjie looked smug. The antique industry was very shady. Perhaps it was just a pot covered in mud, but as long as a famous expert said that this was a treasure, it would immediately attract many antique enthusiasts to fight over it, and the price would increase again and again. Therefore, a swindler like Guo Yongjie did well in the antique world. “Wait a minute!” Jian Xing’er stood up from the sofa and tore up the ancient painting in front of everyone. This stunned everyone!

Jian Xing’er raised her voice and said, “Miss Jian, what are you doing?!” Sha Li was puzzled. “Everyone has been deceived. Guo Yongjie is a charlatan!” As soon as she said this, Guo Yongjie immediately stomped his feet. “Miss Jian, you can’t slander me! You’re Mr. Sha’s friend, so I respect you. Why are you lying in front of so many people?” Guo Yongjie looked very aggrieved. “Only you know best who’s lying!” Jian Xing’er looked at the stall owner beside her and said indifferently, “Tell everyone if that painting was real or fake. How much is it worth?” The stall owner said with a bitter expression, “That painting is a fake. It’s not worth anything.” Guo Yongjie pointed at the stall owner and cursed, “The two of you are in cahoots! You’re clearly here to cause trouble today, right? Tell me, who sent you to cause trouble!”

“No one sent me here, and I’m not trying to cause trouble.” The stall owner mustered his courage and said, “Miss Jian bought this painting at my stall today.” Jian Xing’er ordered the stall owner, “Tell everyone everything!” The stall owner sighed and told them everything that had happened after seeing Jian Xing’er today. As Guo Yongjie listened from the stage, his expression turned ugly. Jian Xing’er was here to target him today. At this moment, the people below the stage could no longer sit still! Most of the treasures that Guo Yongjie had smashed just now were bought at a high price! Sha Li’s expression was the ugliest. In the past few years, he had asked Guo Yongjie to appraise all his treasures. Most of them had been appraised as fakes and he believed Guo Yongjie, who said that he was willing to buy back his treasures at a low price on account of their friendship.

At first, Sha Li didn’t believe Guo Yongjie, but he sent someone to investigate and found out that Guo Yongjie was indeed very prestigious in the antique world. Everyone said that he was capable, so he believed him. Now, Sha Li suddenly realized that Guo Yongjie had approached him with ulterior motives and befriended him in order to recover the treasures he had bought at a low price! Guo Yongjie said angrily, “Bullsh*t! I’ve been in the antique world for so many years and am very famous. Everyone knows my ability, so what right do you have to call me a liar? Where’s the evidence?” The corners of Jian Xing’er’s mouth curled up into a smirk as she said, “Alright, 1’11 show you the evidence. You said that most of the treasures everyone brought are fake. Then, you wanted to take them away and destroy them. Please take out the destroyed things. We’ll find another expert to appraise them again.”

Guo Yongjie completely panicked. Someone could tell that something was wrong and immediately rushed backstage. In the end, they found that their treasures had not been destroyed, but had been brought backstage by Guo Yongjie’s secretary and were being transported. This time, Guo Yongjie’s lie was exposed. He was famous in the antique world, so most people would believe whatever he said. He used the ruse of the appraisal meeting to obtain authentic treasures and said that he wanted to destroy them since they were fake, but in fact, he secretly hid them. His company held a Treasure Appraisal Conference every year and every conference was enough for him to earn more than a hundred million yuan. Everyone present was deceived by him! Sha Li was the one who suffered the biggest losses..
