Rebirth: Taking Away the 10 Billion-Dollar Assets of His Bad Dad

Yang Qing laughed out loud:

"Student Ye is truly unique! He spent 10 million just to play a fake striptease! Hahahaha!"

Everyone craned their necks to see the painting for what it truly was—a blank sheet of paper! Nothing! No painting within a painting! No original work!

"Tsk! I thought he was so powerful! Turns out he's a pervert!"

"Psycho! Waste of time!"

"Isn't this the entertainment the Han family prepared for us? Hahahaha!"

Fei'er looked at Ye Chen awkwardly, wanting to urge him to leave, but she didn't dare. She could only reveal a smile that was uglier than crying.

Yang Qing stood up, put his hands behind his back, walked to Ye Chen with a gloating look, glanced at the white paper and said:

"Mr. Ye! Thank you for giving us such a magic show!"

He glanced at the drawing paper that had been torn by Ye Chen in anger:

"Tsk tsk tsk! What a shame for Wang Shu's imitation, ah!"

Ye Chen was struck by lightning, and looked at Yang Qing with dull eyes:

"Who did you say you were?"

Yang Qing looked at Ye Chen in surprise:

"Wang Shu? This is a work by the Qing Dynasty copyist Wang Shu? How come you don't know about it?"

Ye Chen was stunned, staring blankly at the painting in his hand that had been crumpled up by himself!

"Who is Wang Shu?"

"I haven't heard of it. Is it famous?"

"Young Master Yang, who is this Wang?"

Yang Qing smiled, took the drawing paper from Ye Chen, opened it and said:

Wang Shu, also known by his courtesy name Ruolin and pseudonym Xuzhou, was a native of Jintan in Jiangnan. He was a renowned calligrapher during the Qing Dynasty, adept at a variety of scripts, particularly those of Ouyang Xun and Zhu Xi. Wang Shu's calligraphy copying skills were exceptional, with his copies closely resembling the originals, earning him the nickname "copy machine." He copied many classic ancient calligraphy works, such as Yan Zhenqing's "Eulogy for My Nephew," Huang Tingjian's running script letters, and Wang Xizhi's "Seventeen Calligraphy Calligraphy Works," perfectly capturing the spirit of the originals.

While many people only know Wang Shu for his vivid calligraphy, few know that he also copied paintings with great verve. This painting, "Sound of Pines on a Mountain Road," was copied by Wang Shu at the request of a good friend! And that friend was none other than Emperor Qianlong!

After Wang Shu completed his copy, Emperor Qianlong was so captivated by the painting that he hung it in his bedroom. Years later, one of Qianlong's sons saw the painting in his bedroom and noticed it only contained the painting itself, without an inscription. Feeling the urge to add his own calligraphy, he decided to add his own!

When the painting was unfolded, many people noticed that the inscription in the upper right corner of the painting was very similar to Dong Qichang's style!

Yang Qing said:

Just now I saw this painting of a mountain path, the sound of pines. Layers of rocky terrain, deep ravines, cascading waterfalls and springs. Lush pines, with twisted branches and old trunks, shade the mountainside. Beneath the mountain lies a tranquil lake, its bottom visible. A rugged, unpaved road winds its way through the mountains, adding to the image's depth. A hermit, leaning against a railing, gazes out, listening to the pine wind, while a servant, carrying a zither, follows. The painting's brushwork is clear, meticulous, and full of charm. It's not much different from the original.

However, the inscription in the upper right corner is written in Dong Qichang's official script, so it is determined that this painting is a fake!

But one fake is different from another. This one combines the work of two great Qing Dynasty copyists! The artist is Wang Shu! And the inscription is by none other than Emperor Qianlong's eleventh son: Prince Cheng, Yongyan!

"Huh?" Everyone was shocked! A painting that combined the works of two great masters of copying, its value must be at least fifty or sixty million!

Yang Qing spread out the painting and lifted it up!

"Everyone, do you think that's all?"

Everyone was shocked. Could there be more?

Yang Qing smiled and said:

"Have you noticed the seal on this painting?"

Everyone looked at the seal, and the whole audience was stunned for a moment!

"Oh my god? That's Emperor Qianlong's personal seal!"

Yang Qing nodded:

"When Qianlong returned to his bedroom and discovered Yongyan's calligraphy, he suddenly said to his son, 'This painting is missing a crucial link!'

So he stamped his own private seal at the end of the signature!

So the three masters worked together to create this painting of the sound of pines on the mountain road!"

"Oh my! Then wouldn't this painting be worth a fortune?"

"What a shame! Such a beautiful painting was ruined!"

Ye Chen's face turned pale and he looked at Yang Qing angrily:

"Yang Qing! You did it on purpose!"

Yang Qing shrugged and said:

"You can blame me for this? Ye Chen! Are you okay?"

"That's right! I took the photo myself! I destroyed it myself! What does it have to do with Young Master Yang?"

Ye Chen's eyes were red as he glared at Yang Qing fiercely. At this time, Qin Muhai shouted:

"Ye Chen! Come down!"

Ye Chen gritted his teeth and turned to walk down the stage. Yang Qing called out:

"Student Ye, your item!"

Ye Chen looked back at Yang Qing with resentment:

"Give it to you!"

Yang Qing's eyes lit up and he asked:

"You really gave it to me?"

Ye Chen's eyes were like arrows, and he said hatefully:

"Yes! It's a gift for you! No need to thank me!"

Yang Qing shrugged and said:

"Let me pay some money! Otherwise I will feel uneasy!"

Ye Chen sneered:

"No need! Young Master Yang, just take it!"

Yang Qing showed a happy expression:

"Thank you very much, Mr. Ye!"

Yang Qing immediately took down the two scrolls and held them in his hands, unable to let go!

Ye Chen sneered:

"When did Young Master Yang become so petty? Just two pieces of broken wood, and you think they're treasures?"

Yang Qing chuckled:

"There's a difference between wood and wood! Have you ever heard of red sandalwood?"

"Boom!" The whole audience was shocked!

"What? That's red sandalwood?"

"Oh my God! Such a big red sandalwood, it's so rare!"

Yang Qing played with the two scrolls and said:

"How could an emperor's possessions be ordinary? And it's a copy of a painting by three great masters?"

Ye Chen was stunned, looking at the scroll in Yang Qing's hand in disbelief:

"No! I don't believe it!"

At this time, an old voice sounded from behind the crowd:

"Young friend Yang, how about showing it to me?"

Yang Qing looked up and saw an old man with white hair and beard slowly standing up!

"It's Mr. Ge!"

"It's really Mr. Ge!"

This Mr. Ge is the number one appraiser in Zhongzhou Antique Street! He is known for his sharp eyes and golden pupils!

Yang Qing smiled:

"Mr. Ge! Long time no see!"

Mr. Ge walked onto the stage with a smile and patted Yang Qing:

"You little brat! You didn't even come to see me when you came back! If your grandpa hadn't come to my place yesterday, I wouldn't have known you were back."

Yang Qing said embarrassedly:

"Everyone in Zhongzhou knows that you have been staying at home all year round, so how dare I disturb you!"

Mr. Ge pointed at Yang Qing:

"Is the old man happy? I'll settle the score with you later!"

Ge Lao picked up a scroll, stroked it gently with his fingers, scratched it with his fingernails, sniffed it closely, and said:

"Yes, it is indeed small-leaf red sandalwood! These two pieces are at least a hundred years old."

Ge Lao returned the scroll to Yang Qing with a smile:

"You little bastard, you got what you paid for!"

Yang Qing chuckled:

"No, no! It's just luck!"

The old man and the young man here acted as if they were alone, which made Ye Chen so angry that his teeth itched! He was trembling all over!
