Chapter 177: True or False Paintings

After Cheng Shi and Deng Xin discussed it, they first walked to the door of the antique store. At the door were the same two men in black.

Cheng Shi walked over, took out two cigarettes, and handed them to the two of them. At this time, the man in black began to lean against each other.

When Cheng Shi lit cigarettes for the two of them, he smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work!"

At this time, Deng Xin's right hand on the side cut their necks twice in a row, and the two of them fainted.

Cheng Shi, Deng Xin and the others slowly placed the two fainted people on the ground, and then called the patrolman from afar over.

Cheng Shi asked them to guard the door, and he and Deng Xin walked in. Boss Du saw Deng Xin beside Cheng Shi.

He said doubtfully: "Where is the money you brought, and who is this?!"

Cheng Shi said with a smile: "Boss Du, after all, this sum of money is not small, and I have not looked away from the painting for so long!

I have to confirm the authenticity of this painting. If there is no problem, I can bring the money in. This is my friend!"

After saying this, Cheng Shi continued: "Xiao Deng, go over and see if this painting is real. If it is real, I will ask someone to bring the money in!"

Deng Xin nodded and walked forward to check. Under the gaze of everyone, she slowly inspected the painting. Deng Xin slowly approached Boss Du!

When Deng Xin felt that the distance was enough, she suddenly took action and controlled Boss Du next to her, just as everyone was surprised.

Cheng Shi then yelled: "Come in!"

Several policemen in plain clothes rushed in quickly. This was also Cheng Shi's request, because he was not sure whether Boss Du was the mastermind behind the scenes.

So he didn't want to expose that this operation was an official operation. After several police officers came in, they quickly controlled the other two men in black.

When Cheng Shi saw that the situation was under control, he winked at Deng Xin, and Deng Xin let go of Boss Du.

Boss Du and Shopkeeper Zhu next to him both looked surprised, while Boss Du fell down on his chair and gasped crazily.

Shopkeeper Zhu on the side was surprised and said loudly: "Mr. Cheng, what are you doing? Are you trying to rob this painting?!"

As soon as Shopkeeper Zhu finished speaking, seven or eight strong men walked out from the back of the hall, and they surrounded Shopkeeper Zhu.

Cheng Shi looked at the strong man next to Shopkeeper Zhu, then pointed at Boss Du next to him, and continued to say with a smile.

"Shopkeeper Zhu, you are serious. How could I rob this painting? The reason why I did this was to catch this liar!"

Shopkeeper Zhu also calmed down at this time, stared at Cheng Shi who was speaking and said, "What do you mean by this?!"

Cheng Shi continued: "What I mean is that this painting by Han Gan is fake!"

Before Shopkeeper Zhu could say anything, Boss Du on the side said: "Don't you just want this painting of mine? There's no need to say it's a fake.

Are you trying to say that Shopkeeper Zhu, who has been in the antique circle for decades, sees this fake painting as a real painting?!"

When Shopkeeper Zhu heard this, he was already a little unsure. After all, in the antique business, no matter how powerful your eyes are, there will be times when you can catch someone's eye.

Therefore, Shopkeeper Zhu said uncertainly: "From my perspective, this painting should be real. I wonder why Mr. Cheng said it is fake?!"

Cheng Shi smiled, stared at Boss Du and said, "You just said that this painting is a treasure passed down from your family, can't I see it?!"

Boss Du stared at Cheng Shi and said dissatisfiedly: "It's not mine or yours!"

Cheng Shi continued: "This painting does not belong to my family, nor yours, but to the Tan family!"

Boss Du was stunned for a moment, stared at Cheng Shi and said, "What about the Tan family? I don't know what you are talking about?!"

Cheng Shi continued: "Boss Tang Getan, do you know anyone here?!"

Shopkeeper Zhu nodded and said, "Is he the big boss of the oil and rice company?!"

Cheng Shi continued: "Yes, it's the big boss. I saw this painting in his living room, so I said this painting is fake!"

Boss Du sneered, and then said: "You saw this painting at his house, and you said that my painting is fake. It's really ridiculous. His painting is fake!"

Cheng Shi continued: "Yes, the painting in his living room is fake!"

Everyone at the scene heard Cheng Shi's words, but they didn't understand what Cheng Shi's words meant.

Shopkeeper Zhu said with some confusion: "Since the Tan family's painting is fake, why do you say this painting is fake?!"

Cheng Shi continued: "The reason is very simple. Just like your antique store, the antiques here are all fake, right?!"

Shopkeeper Zhu continued: "Of course the ones placed here are fake. What if someone breaks them? They are really placed elsewhere!"

Cheng Shi said with a smile: "That's what I mean. With Tang Ge's worth, he will naturally not use fake antique paintings.

And why should we put a fake painting in the living room, a place where guests are entertained, because it is really easy to be damaged by servants."

Deng Xin then said: "It's okay if you don't hang it. Why hang a fake painting in the living room?!"

Cheng Shi then replied: "Rich people like to show off. It would be uncomfortable not to expose such a great painting, and it would be easily damaged if it were hung."

Therefore, hanging a fake painting solves this problem. If someone doesn't understand painting, the fake painting can just get over it.

And what if you meet someone who knows how to paint? So, since he dares to hang fake paintings, it proves that he must have real paintings.

Otherwise, if you really meet a customer who knows how to paint, how embarrassing he will be if he doesn’t have the genuine product yet!”

Shopkeeper Zhu understood Cheng Shi's statement, but after all, he had never been to Tan Mansion or seen the painting, so he was still skeptical.

Shopkeeper Zhu continued: "Mr. Cheng, these are all your one-sided words. I cannot agree with your statement that this painting is fake."

Boss Du quickly said: "Yes, why do you think what you said is true, and even if what you say is true?

Maybe there are no real paintings in the Tan Mansion, Shopkeeper Zhu, you can’t trust this man and let him take away my paintings!”

Zhu looked at Cheng Shi and continued, "I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation, otherwise you won't be able to walk out!"

Cheng Shi continued: "Of course, I will give Shopkeeper Zhu a reasonable explanation. In fact, I don't know much about antique paintings.

But based on the idea I just had, when I saw this painting, I heard Boss Du say it was his family heirloom.

I immediately suspected that the painting was fake. I didn't find any flaws in the artist's work or the seal.

Because I can hide it from Shopkeeper Zhu, there must be nothing wrong with the painting and the seal, so I will find the problem essentially!"

When Shopkeeper Zhu heard this, he said doubtfully: "There is nothing wrong with the nature of the painting. There is nothing wrong with the age of the paper or the pen and ink!"
