Ten seconds later, the pictures of setting sun and solitary wild duck on both sides turned into ashes, and the people in the audience showed shocked expressions.
Although they did not light the fire themselves, their hearts were already lifted up.
There are only five paintings in total, one of which is an authentic one. Shen Qi lit up two of them right at the start. How could he be sure that the two paintings that were lit were fakes?
If there is a mistake, the Shen family will have to pay three hundred million!
Dong Zhen's face turned very ugly as he watched the two paintings being burned.
Gao Qingmu and Wu Chengyin saw this. One of them supported Dong Zhen, fearing that Dong Zhen would faint due to the shock. The other came to Shen Qi and said in a low voice, "Mr. Shen Qi, please don't be impulsive! Mr. Dong didn't mean any harm by coming here this time!"
Shen Qi said, "I know Mr. Dong has no ill intentions, but the problem is that I don't really know much about Tang Yin's authentic works. After thinking about it, I can only rely on luck and money. By the way, do you have any coins with you?"
"coin?"
Gao Qingmu suddenly had a bad premonition and quickly took two steps back, "No! Nothing!"
Shen Qi was helpless, it seemed that Chen Qiu was still obedient.
"Chen Qiu, give me a coin."
Chen Qiu also guessed what Shen Qi was going to do, but still without any hesitation, he took out a coin from his pocket and handed it to Shen Qi.
Shen Qi weighed the coin twice and said, "I'll toss it. If the number lands on the top, you burn the painting on the left. If the flower lands on the top, you burn the painting on the right. If unfortunately the coin lands upright, you burn the painting in the middle."
"Yes! I understand!"
Shen Qiu nodded and walked to the three pictures, ready to take action.
Dong Zhen was already very angry, and after hearing what Shen Qi said, she finally couldn't help it.
"No! Shen Qi, you can't do this!"
Shen Qi smiled. "Mr. Dong, judging by your performance, I think Tang Yin's authentic work should still be among the remaining three paintings. Am I right? Next, let's see how my luck is."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Qi flicked the coin in his hand into the air. Everyone's eyes immediately followed the coin and stared at the coin flying in the air, refusing to move away at all!
bite!
The coin fell to the ground, bounced twice and then began to spin rapidly. No one knew the result until the end.
So everyone held their breath and opened their eyes wide, wanting to see which side of the coin was facing up.
Gao Qingmu and Wu Chengyin also became nervous, but the most nervous one among them was Dong Zhen.
Dong Zhen knew very well which painting was the authentic one by Tang Yin, and she felt uneasy, fearing that Shen Qi would be unlucky and really click on the authentic one by Tang Yin.
After a few seconds, the rotation of the coin slowed down, and even Zhao Gu and others who had been sitting in the corner came over to see whether the number side or the flower side was facing up.
But after the coin stopped, it actually stood on the ground without shaking at all!
Everyone who saw this scene showed surprise.
In the past, they thought standing a coin up was a joke, but they never thought that someone could actually do it!
Is Shen Qi doing this on purpose?
Everyone was surprised, but Chen Qiu didn't hesitate at all. He took the lighter and set the middle painting on fire, not giving anyone a chance to speak.
However, some people who were quick-witted had been paying attention to Dong Zhen's expression. When they found that Dong Zhen also looked relieved, they immediately realized that Shen Qi had made the right bet again.
At least Tang Yin's original works have not been burned.
Shen Qiu picked up the coin.
"Second Grandpa, are we still going to use coins?"
"use!"
Shen Qi said, "This time you throw it. If the number is facing up, click on the left one. If the flower is facing up, click on the right one. Throw it."
"Ah? Me?"
Chen Qiu was also confused. He was totally unsure!
Dong Zhen's mood, which had just calmed down, suddenly became tense again.
Although what Shen Qi did seemed a bit ridiculous, he still had some hope in his heart, that is, Shen Qi had some knowledge of antiques and did have some skills. Maybe Shen Qi did it on purpose.
But what would happen if Chen Qiu, who knows nothing, were to toss the coin?
Then it really depends on luck!
Now there are only two paintings left, with a fifty percent probability, who dares to bet?
"No! Absolutely not!"
"Master Shen, Tang Yin's authentic works are extremely valuable and cannot be measured by money. Please stop Shen Qi!"
At this point, Dong Zhen can only pin her hopes on Shen Hong.
Unexpectedly, Shen Hong just shook his head.
"Mr. Dong, I trust my second uncle, and we have already prepared 300 million. If the Tang Yin original is burned, our Shen family is willing to compensate."
“You…you!”
Dong Zhen was so angry that his hands were shaking. He looked elsewhere and finally locked onto a new helper, the head of the Liu family in the capital.
"Master Liu, please speak quickly! This is Tang Yin's authentic work. If it is destroyed here, we will all be sinners of the Xia Kingdom!"
The head of the Liu family shook his head. "Mr. Dong, you don't have to say anything. I believe in Mr. Shen Qi. If this incident really has any bad consequences, our Liu family is willing to share the responsibility with Mr. Shen Qi!"
Without waiting for Dong Zhen to name them, Patriarchs Li, Chen, and Sun all stepped forward and said in unison, "We also trust Mr. Shen Qi. If this incident results in any adverse consequences, our Li (Chen, and Sun) families are willing to share the responsibility with Mr. Shen Qi!"
Seeing this, Zhao Gu pushed through the crowd and said, "Me too!"
