Tao Sihai was shocked and murmured: "How is this possible? They are all liars?"

Yan Ruxing gradually figured out the key points, and his heart suddenly became enlightened: "So that's it, that's it! No wonder those people have deliberately used words to provoke me since we arrived there, just to get me to pay a high price.

.When the painting was inspected, those people also deliberately excluded us because they did not want us to find out that there was something wrong with the painting."

"exactly."

Xue Chen also admired this group of scammers very much. It could be said that they had reached the level of proficiency. If he hadn't seen something wrong with the money in the box, he wouldn't have noticed something was wrong so quickly.

After knowing that this group of people were liars, Xue Chen finally realized why he felt that Yin Hongfan looked familiar. He was clearly the Zhao Xi he met when he was digging out his old house!

It's just that at that time, Zhao Xi was dressed in a shabby manner, wearing slippers, large pants and a double-strung vest, and his whole body exuded a bad smell.

But this Yin Hongfan is a successful businessman through and through. He wears glasses, suits and leather shoes, talks and laughs happily, and has an extraordinary aura.

These two identities can be said to be worlds apart. No wonder he didn't see it at first sight!

He also didn't expect that he would meet this person again and deceive him again.

"Hey, these scammers are so rich, and they still come out to cheat." Tao Sihai shook his head.

"The money in the box you mentioned? Except for the top layer, the bottom layer is full of ghost coins." Xue Chen said.

"Mingcoin?" Tao Sihai was surprised again. He immediately slapped the table and stood up to walk out, "A bunch of liars! I'm going to find them out now!"

"Wait, brother Sihai, what are you doing?" Xue Chen grabbed Tao Sihai.

"Go and catch the liar?" Tao Sihai said matter-of-factly.

"What are you arresting them for? Besides, there are seven or eight people on the other side, can you handle them alone?" Xue Chen smiled and asked.

"Then I'll call the police." Tao Sihai took out his phone again.

This time, Yan Ruxing spoke: "Sihai, sit down! Why call the police? We are not fooled and have no losses. Just ignore what they are doing. One more thing is worse than one less thing. Don't think about it anymore."

"But..." Tao Sihai seemed to be a little confused.

"Brother Sihai, listen to Uncle Yan. Anyway, we didn't suffer any loss and were deceived. Let's just wait for the feast. We haven't eaten a feast worth more than 60,000 yuan. Hehe, Yang An was the one who was deceived anyway.

Those three people, do you want to stand up for them?" Xue Chen said nonchalantly.

Tao Sihai was also unhappy with the red-haired young man from Yang'an. When he heard what Xue Chen said, he nodded and stopped mentioning the liar.

At this time, the waiter began to serve the food.

After Yu Qiang arrived, the four of them started to use chopsticks, and Yu Qiang asked: "Is there anyone else?"

"No, just the four of us." Xue Chen replied.

While Xue Chen and the four of them were enjoying a feast in the private room, Yin Hongfan had already finished the transaction with the three people from Yang'an and went downstairs together. Several other buyers congratulated the three people with envious expressions on their faces.

The three people who came from Yang'an couldn't help but feel happy.

Yin Hongfan's eyes moved slightly, and he said with a faint smile: "Why don't you three stay to dine together?"

The leading man smiled and refused: "I won't bother Mr. Yin, we will go back first."

Why would the three of them stay out having a banquet with a painting worth millions? What would they do if it was lost?

"Haha, we are not from those three sea cities. It's like we have never had a banquet." The red-haired young man laughed.

After watching the three people leave the hotel, Yin Hongfan immediately asked those who were just buyers to go upstairs to pack their luggage and prepare to leave, while he quickly returned to the front desk of the hotel and asked the staff to pay the deposit immediately!

The staff moved very quickly and said while taking the money: "Mr. Yin, you still have two yuan and eighty cents left in the deposit you paid."

"What?" Yin Hongfan stared, thinking there was something wrong with his ears, and said in shock, "How much do you think the deposit is left?"

"Two dollars and eighty cents." The staff read it again.

"How is that possible? Did you read it wrong? There were more than 40,000 yuan left yesterday! Show me the consumption list!" Yin Hongfan said anxiously.

The staff typed out a consumption list and handed it to Yin Hongfan.

Yin Hongfan looked at it carefully. When he saw the dozen or so expensive dishes at the end of the list, he was filled with hatred. Especially when he saw that he ordered a Chinese cigarette at the end, which completely used up the deposit and was even more murderous.

The heart has it.

None of them are willing to eat such expensive dishes and smoke such good cigarettes!

"Damn it! Damn it!"

Yin Hongfan wanted to go to the private room and cut Xue Chen into pieces immediately, but as the leader of a professional fraud gang, he knew that the most important thing now was to retreat and flee to other cities immediately. He could not ruin a big thing just because of a small amount of money!

But I have to say that what Xue Chen did really drove him crazy. The last time he was tricked in Haicheng, Xue Chen suffered a big loss and was forcibly bought for 10,000 yuan.

Although he didn't lose money on the purple clay pot worth millions, he didn't make any profit either.

This time I met him again, and he didn't take the bait either. I even wrote a note offering him fifty cents and handed it to him. This was a naked mockery!

Now, he took the opportunity to squander all the deposit. The deposit of more than 40,000 yuan only left him with two yuan and eighty cents. It was simply too much!

"Sir, this is your deposit balance, please keep it."

The staff member handed over his hand, holding two one-dollar bills and a few coins in his palm.

Yin Hongfan looked at the two yuan and eighty cents, and it felt like a slap in his face, as if to say, no matter how good your deception is, it is not worth mentioning in front of grandpa.

He grabbed two yuan and eighty cents, held it tightly in his hand, and thought viciously in his heart: "Boy, sooner or later I will make you pay the price!"

Facing the 40,000 yuan meal, except for Yan Ruxing who had no appetite, Xue Chen and the other two ate like crazy and enjoyed themselves so much that no one even set foot in the private room until they finished eating and left.

As for the piece of soft China, he gave it to Tao Sihai and Yu Qiang, both of whom laughed and were very affectionate towards Xue Chen.

On the way back, Yan Ruxing sighed and held Xue Chen's hand, saying: "Xiao Xue, thanks to you Zhao Ziliang, I discovered something fishy."

Recalling that only two of the six buyers present were genuine and the remaining four were scammers, he still felt a little panicked.

Over the years since he opened an antique shop, he has experienced quite a few scams, but this is the first time he has encountered such a carefully designed scam with so many scammers.

The most powerful thing is that these swindlers also know psychology! They use words to provoke him, making him angry and negligent.

He thought he was very vigilant and had seen all kinds of scams, but he fell into the trap unknowingly and almost fell into it.

"It should be." Xue Chen smiled.

Yu Qiang, who was driving the car, smacked his lips and said with satisfaction: "Although we are a bunch of liars, our trip was not in vain. I think I can enjoy a meal worth more than 40,000 yuan once in my life."

.”

Tao Sihai also laughed and said with full praise: "Yes, thank you for this, brother Xue, you are really awesome."

After returning to the hotel, as soon as I got out of the elevator, I met the three people from Yang'an City. The red-haired young man was talking excitedly. When he saw Xue Chen and the four of them, he suddenly smiled happily.

It turned into ridicule, and he glanced at the four people with contempt, and let out a series of sinister laughter.

Yan Ruxing and Xue Chen both looked as normal and didn't pay attention at all. However, although Yu Qiang and Tao Sihai didn't say anything, they responded with a look of pity and the same mocking smile.

Seeing the three red-haired young people walking into the elevator at the wrong time, Yu Qiang couldn't help but turn around and muttered: "You idiot, you are so proud of buying a fake."

The three people who entered the elevator did not hear what Yu Qiang said clearly, but they felt that the other party's attitude was a bit wrong. Logically speaking, it should be envy, jealousy or even resentment, because they were the ones who bought the painting in the end. They laughed.

At the end,

"A bunch of country bumpkins have gone all the way in vain, but they actually have the nerve to shamelessly let the other party host a banquet." The red-haired young man curled his lips.

The second uncle of the red-haired young man frowned slightly and said to the appraiser who came with him: "Quanye, do you think there is nothing wrong with that painting?"

"It should be... no problem." Li Quanye replied hesitantly.

"should?"

"I didn't have much time to identify it at the time, but so many people present had seen it and thought there was no problem, so I thought there should be no problem."

Xi Long glanced far away at the appraiser he hired at a high price. He always felt a little uneasy about this transaction, but he didn't know why this uneasiness came from.

Normally, this transaction can be said to be perfect, with no flaws or omissions. After arriving in Pinghe City, I competed with many buyers and finally won this painting by Master Qi Baishi at the highest price. Although the price was higher than expected.

There are a few more, but it doesn't matter, as long as the painting is... authentic.

But maybe it was because it went so smoothly that he felt a little worried, especially the actions of the four people from Haicheng. He couldn't understand why they didn't feel the slightest regret after losing the competition, but were still in the mood to eat.

Big dinner? This is a bit strange.

Also, the six buyers at that time were all eager to give the painting a try and tried their best to win the painting. At one time, he thought that his bid would definitely not be the highest, and someone must have offered a sky-high price, but it was Lei Sheng.

The raindrops are heavy but the competition is not as fierce as expected.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there were a lot of mysteries in this transaction. He didn't notice it at the time, but looking back now, he realized something was wrong.
