"Mr. Zhao, please forgive my poor eyesight. I have never seen such a young treasure appraiser in the Jiangcheng treasure appraisal circle."

Beside Zhao Wucheng, Zhong Shi spoke with sarcasm in his words.

"Miss Tang, you heard it. You're a member of the Tang family, and yet you were deceived by someone like that? If it gets out, you're not afraid of being laughed at and damaging the Tang family's reputation."

Zhao Wucheng looked at Tang Wan with a sneer on his face.

"Mr. Zhao, there's no need for you to remind me of this. I believe Mr. Li's ability is no less than any treasure appraiser."

Tang Wan has been immersed in the antique business for many years and has long developed a keen eye.

These discerning eyes can not only identify antiques, but also recognize talented people.

In her eyes, Li Taiping is such a capable person, and she would not doubt Li Taiping just because of a few words from Zhao Wucheng.

"Hahaha, okay, then I'll see how capable this Mr. Li you mentioned is."

Zhao Wucheng glanced at Li Taiping with disdain, then walked into the Soviet-style courtyard.

"Mr. Li, you don't need to bother with Zhao Wucheng."

"He's the son of the owner of Wanshenglou, the largest casino in Jiangcheng. He's always been arrogant and doesn't take anyone seriously."

"How could someone like him know Mr. Li's abilities?"

Tang Wan explained to Li Taiping.

"Well, I've seen a lot of people like this," said Li Taiping.

"Then Mr. Li, let's go in too!"

Tang Wan took Li Taiping into the courtyard, inside a garden.

A lot of people have gathered here, most of them are wealthy people in Jiangcheng.

Many people have an appraiser around them, or some wealthy people have a certain appreciation for antiques.

That Zhao Wucheng was also among them.

When he saw Li Taiping and Tang Wan, Zhao Wucheng gave them a provocative look.

"Mr. Hou, it's almost time to announce the start of this underground antiques fair, right?"

A short wealthy man said to a gaunt man in the garden.

"Mr. Li, that's Mr. Hou Tianliang. He's one of the leaders of the Jiangcheng underground world and the military advisor to the Tiger King. He's in charge of this trade fair."

Tang Wan fully played the role of her own guide.

"Tiger King? Is he the same person as Qinglong?"

Li Taiping thought of Qinglong, who was also the leader of the Jiangcheng underground world.

"I didn't expect Mr. Li also knew Lord Qinglong."

Tang Wan blinked her beautiful eyes and continued, "That's right, Tiger King and Azure Dragon are of equal status. Both of them are the masters who have the final say in the Jiangcheng underground world, but..."

"But what?"

Li Taiping asked curiously.

"But neither Azure Dragon nor Tiger King is the biggest figure in Jiangcheng's underground world. The biggest figure is..."

Just when Tang Wan was about to reveal who was the biggest in Jiangcheng's underground world.

In the garden.

Hou Tianliang said, "The time has come. I declare this underground antiques fair open."

As soon as the words fell, all the wealthy people fell silent, including Tang Wan.

"Come here, load the goods."

Hou Tianliang then clapped his hands.

Immediately.

One by one, young and beautiful maids with curvaceous figures, wearing blue and white porcelain cheongsams, brought in antiques covered with red silk.

"You all know the rules. There are ten antiques here, each of which has an extraordinary origin and is priceless. Of course, not all of them are priceless."

"After all, some of the antiques here are fakes. If you want to tell the real from the fake, you'll have to rely on your knowledge."

"Anyone who objects can leave now. You have one minute to consider this."

Hou Tianliang looked around at everyone.

This is one of the regular features of every underground antique fair.

Hou Tianliang deliberately mixed genuine antiques and fakes together and then auctioned them.

Among ten antiques, sometimes the ratio of genuine to fake is half and half, sometimes there are more genuine than fake, and sometimes there are more fake than genuine. There is no pattern at all.

If anyone can obtain the genuine article, everyone will be happy. There is also a chance to meet the Tiger King and gain his friendship.

But if someone gets a fake, not only will they lose money, but more importantly, they will also lose face.

Some people may ask, can those who obtain counterfeits just let it go?

What else can I do if I don’t even think about it?

If he is unwilling, he can just go and talk to the Tiger King himself.

As long as he can ensure that his head won’t be crushed by the Tiger King in the end, it will be fine.

Notice.

In the underground world of Jiangcheng, the Tiger King is not as easy to talk to as Qinglong.

A minute passed quickly and no one left the garden.

Since these people have chosen to participate in this trade fair, they have already made all the mental preparations.

"Since there's no objection, let's get started!"

Seeing that no one left, Hou Tianliang waved his hand.

Upon seeing this, the maids simultaneously reached out and lifted the red silk, revealing the true appearance of all the antiques before everyone.

"Everyone, you have half an hour to appraise these ten antiques."

"You can only look at them, not touch them. If you need to look inside certain antiques, let the maids do it for you."

"In half an hour, the bidding will begin with antique number one. After all the bidding is finished, I will tell you which antiques are real and which are fake."

Hou Tianliang spoke slowly.

When Hou Tianliang finished speaking, all the wealthy people and treasure appraisers could not wait to surround the ten antiques and appraise them.

Only Li Taiping remained as still as a mountain.

"Mr. Li, aren't you going to get it appraised?"

Tang Wan asked.

"Me? I've already finished it."

Li Taiping said when the blue and white porcelain maids just brought up the antiques.

Li Taiping already knew the authenticity and value of the ten antiques.

"Ah, this? Mr. Li, you're... so fast."

Tang Wan opened her mouth wide in disbelief.

If she had not witnessed Li Taiping's skills with her own eyes in the antique market, she would probably have thought that Li Taiping was a liar.

But even if Mr. Li is really capable, it's not good to do it so quickly, right? It's hard to convince people!

Li Taiping smiled and said nothing, just gave Tang Wan a reassuring look.

not far away.

Zhao Wucheng was watching Zhong Shi appraising treasures out of boredom when he suddenly saw Li Taiping and Tang Wan who were not moving at all.

"Tang Wan, why don't you let this 'master' next to you appraise the treasure? Don't forget, we only have half an hour... Oh no, we only have less than half an hour to appraise the treasure now."

Out of boredom, Zhao Wucheng asked Tang Wan.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhao, for the reminder, but Mr. Li, the appraisal has been completed." Tang Wan said.

"Is the appraisal complete?"

Zhao Wucheng widened his eyes and said disdainfully:

"Tang Wan, what are you bragging about? I didn't even see him look at these antiques. When did antiques become so easy to identify?"
