A treasure-appraisal maniac

The vehicle was about to leave the old city when Lu Fei suddenly braked and stopped.

"What's wrong, you bastard?" Kong Jiaqi asked.

Lu Fei did not answer, but looked at a woman posting a small advertisement at the bus stop next to her.

After watching for two seconds, Lu Fei opened the car door and walked over, standing two meters behind the woman.

The woman posted a missing person notice with a printed photo of a slender teenager and a description below.

Search notices:

Lu Fei, male, Han nationality, 23 years old

Kong Jiaqi and Chen Xiang who followed up covered their mouths in disbelief when they saw the missing person notice and looked at Lu Fei.

The woman put up the missing person notice, patted her sore waist and slowly turned around. .??.

What caught Chen Xiang's eyes was a woman in her early thirties, with a delicate appearance but extremely haggard appearance.

This woman's hair was a little messy and her complexion was slightly pale. Her bare face was full of traces of sweat. Her thin lips were peeled and cracked. Her unfocused eyes were full of anxiety and fear.

When the woman saw Lu Fei in front of her, she was stunned for a moment, and a thick stack of unposted missing persons notices in her hand were scattered on the floor.

Two seconds later, the woman's lips trembled slightly, and tears welled up in pairs.

Suddenly the woman screamed and knelt down at Lu Fei's feet.

"Lu Fei, I have found you."

"You should go home quickly, something happened at home."

"There's something big going on at home."

"Your old man, he is gone."

The woman shouted intermittently, rolled her eyes and fainted.

Kong Jiaqi and Chen Xiang hurried forward and hugged the woman in their arms. At the same time, the two women looked at Lu Fei.

Lu Fei stared blankly at the missing person notice on the stop sign for two minutes.

He slowly took out a pack of unopened cigarettes from his trouser pocket. He wanted to open the pack, but his hands kept shaking and he couldn't do it at all.

Chen Xiang took Lu Fei's cigarette, opened it and stuffed one into Lu Fei's mouth, then lit it for him.

The moment the orange flames came into contact with the cigarette, Chen Xiang clearly saw two crystal tears welling up from Lu Fei's deep eyes.

After finishing the cigarette in a few puffs, he threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stamped it out gently.

Lu Fei picked up the unconscious woman and got into the back seat of the Bentley. Chen Xiang got into the driver's seat without hesitation. Kong Jiaqi turned around and got into Chen Xiang's Porsche Cayenne.

In the master bedroom of Wutong Villa, an unconscious woman was lying on the bed. Chen Xiang wiped her face, and Kong Jiaqi took warm water and put it into the woman's mouth one by one.

Lu Fei stood silently by the bed and smoked one cigarette after another.

After a while, the woman woke up, saw her surroundings clearly, jumped up, and knelt down in front of Lu Fei again, crying loudly, regardless of the two women's obstruction.

"Lu Fei, I'm sorry for you. I didn't take good care of you, old man. Hit me. Beat me to death."

Lu Fei pulled her up and asked expressionlessly.

"what is going on?"

"Uuuu, three days ago, your old man suffered from acute cerebral hemorrhage and rescue efforts failed. He left."

"Lao Lu has always been in strong health, how could he have a cerebral hemorrhage? What happened in the meantime?" Lu Fei asked coldly.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuusuuuu, you old man was deceived and lost 60 million. If you get anxious, just..."

This woman's name is Zheng Wenjuan, and she is Lu Fei's baby mother.

Last week, Lu Fei's father spent 3.5 million to buy one at his antique store Jubao Pavilion.

Yongle blue and white bowl with lotus and phoenix pattern.

This bowl is exquisitely made and flawless. Lao Lu's years of experience confirm that it is an authentic product from the official kiln.

Every piece of blue and white porcelain produced by the official kiln in Yongle is a high-quality product. This is a recognized fact in the industry.

This bowl is seven centimeters high and 16 centimeters in diameter, which is considered a large piece among blue and white bowls.

The news that Lao Lu had picked up a big leak spread like wildfire. In less than half a day, the news spread throughout the antique market.

That afternoon, Bai Wenyu, the mainland general manager of Tianbao Auction House next to Jubao Pavilion, came to the door and discussed with Lao Lu about buying the bowl and auctioning it at this year's autumn auction.

Lao Lu didn't want to bet a large amount of money on this bowl, so he agreed immediately.

After fierce bargaining between the two parties, the final transaction price was set at 30 million yuan.

Three and a half million yuan was resold with a net profit of 26.5 million yuan. Old Lu Le was almost at a loss.

Next, for the sake of fairness, in addition to the auction house's appraiser, Bai Wenyu also invited Yang Shuo, the chief consultant of Jincheng Museum, to help with the appraisal. After confirming that it was correct, the two parties signed a transaction contract.

After the contract was signed, another incident occurred. Bai Wenyu was worried that the bowl was an item that had been repaired by a master, so he proposed to re-appraise it, but Lao Lu did not object.

After another appraisal, the two appraisers found no traces of repair, but Bai Wenyu made a new suggestion.

It is said that the most fearful thing for repaired porcelain is hot water above 80 degrees Celsius. Most adhesives will change their state at 80 degrees Celsius.

If it is a repaired remnant, soaking it in hot water for two minutes will definitely reveal its flaws.

Lao Lu had enough confidence in his own eyesight that he agreed with Bai Wenyu's opinion.

In order to avoid accidents, Lao Lu completed the entire test by himself.

Knot

Guo Laolu poured hot water into the blue and white bowl. In less than a minute, there was a crisp sound and a magical scene happened. The flawless blue and white bowl actually broke into six petals.

At this time, Lao Lu was dumbfounded. He picked up the broken pieces of porcelain and inspected them carefully. Sure enough, there were traces of repair. He smelled carefully and could still smell the slightly sour adhesive smell at the stubble.

After confirming that the blue and white bowl was a remnant, Bai Wenyu quit.

According to the contract signed by both parties, Lao Lu must compensate the auction house three times the loss, which is 90 million. Excluding the 30 million payment Bai Wenyu paid to Lao Lu before, Lao Lu suffered a direct loss of 60 million.

Lao Lu begged hard, but Bai Wenyu insisted on acting in accordance with the contract. He would file a lawsuit if the auction house's loss of 90 million yuan was not paid within three days.

Or you can use Lao Lu’s store, Jubao Pavilion, to pay off the debt.

At this point, Lao Lu finally realized that he had been tricked by Bai Wenyu, but it was too late to regret it.

That day, Lao Lu consulted a lawyer. No matter which lawyer saw the contract signed by Lao Lu, they all shook their heads. If everything was done in black and white, Lao Lu would definitely lose the lawsuit.

Next, Lao Ludong scraped together to borrow money from everywhere, but unfortunately the 60 million hole could not be plugged no matter what.

As a result, Lao Lu was anxious and angry and suddenly suffered a cerebral hemorrhage. The ambulance rushed to Lu's house and found that Lao Lu had died.

When such a big thing happened, neither of the two women in the family, Zheng Wenjuan and Yao Meier, dared to make the decision. After the two discussed it, Yao Meier was responsible for staying at Jubao Pavilion. No matter what, they could not give away the store founded by Lao Lu. Bai Wenyu.

Zheng Wenjuan came to Bianliang overnight. Since she didn't have Lu Fei's contact information, Zheng Wenjuan spent two days searching for him on the streets of Bianliang City.

Zheng Wenjuan didn't sleep a wink for two days and two nights, and even only ate one bowl of noodles.

It was this afternoon that Zheng Wenjuan saw the dog-hunting inspiration on the telephone pole, and then she suddenly met Lu Fei.
