Liu Song's reaction can be said to be very tough. He was even willing to use his career as a guarantee. In this way, those extras with little power would not be able to make trouble. After all, their status was not equal to Liu Song's, unless someone of Mr. Wu's status continued to be relentless.
Seeing that everyone around him had quieted down, Shen Qi was a little disappointed. The show had just begun, why did it end?
If the people hiding behind the scenes don't even show up, how can he find the mastermind?
Fortunately, Duan Zhonglin spoke at this time.
"Director Liu, it's not that we don't believe you, but the situation in our Xia Country is indeed like this. If anyone has the energy to donate 171 cultural relics in one month, with a total value of over 16 billion, I think it can only be the top families in our Xia Country. But as far as I know, among the top families in Xia Country, only Mr. Zhou from the Yangcheng Zhou family likes to collect. However, Mr. Zhou no longer interferes with the management of the Zhou family, so he probably doesn't have the energy to donate so many precious cultural relics at once."
"Other large families may have such strength, but they don't have the same hobby as Mr. Zhou. So I'm very curious now. I really want to know which immortal master could donate so many precious cultural relics in just one month. I also want to meet this true patriot."
These words were well-reasoned and convincing, and the people around him started to make a fuss again, asking Liu Song to name the donor.
But in fact, Duan Zhonglin still calculated that no one could achieve this level. Even if there was, he didn't think anyone would spend so much money to show off!
That's right, it's just a show.
In his opinion, doing something positive in a high-profile manner is a show, and the ultimate goal is to gain greater benefits through the show.
Yu Shen's donation of cultural relics worth 100 million yuan can help him establish his reputation in the country and gain more support in policies. The benefits it brings to him are unimaginable.
But using 16 billion for a show is too costly, and there is no possibility of making a profit, so Duan Zhonglin doesn't believe it no matter what.
Liu Song still shook his head and firmly stated that he would not reveal the person who made the anonymous donor. However, this only aroused people's suspicion again, and the people Duan Zhonglin found began to fan the flames again.
"Director Liu, you're not lying to us, are you? There's actually no such anonymous donor. These 171 artifacts are actually..."
"shut up!!"
Duan Zhonglin hurriedly stopped him, appearing to be concerned about Liu Song, but everyone around him understood what the man meant.
Since Liu Song couldn't clearly explain the origins of these 171 cultural relics, it was very likely that Liu Song had obtained them by some shameful means, or they might even be fakes used to show off!
The Beijing Museum was established not long ago, but Liu Song was able to find so many precious cultural relics. This is of great benefit to Liu Song's career development, so Liu Song is a vested interest person.
Duan Zhonglin swept his stern gaze across the room and said, "I believe in Director Liu. He would never resort to such tactics. Even if there's something wrong with these artifacts, it must be the anonymous donor who has the problem! Otherwise, he wouldn't have insisted on making the donation anonymously."
Liu Song frowned. On the surface, it seemed that Duan Zhonglin was speaking for him, but in fact, he was using another way to determine that the cultural relics donated by Shen Qi were all fakes. How could he tolerate this?
"Master Duan, I don't agree with what you said. I've already said that all the artifacts in the Beijing Museum can withstand appraisal and there will be absolutely no problems! If anyone thinks there are any problems, please point them out to me!"
Duan Zhonglin gave a meaningful smile, but said nothing more, which immediately made the people around him understand his attitude.
It was only at this time that Shen Qi was sure that Duan Zhonglin was the mastermind behind all this.
There were a few people in the crowd who were fanning the flames. Shen Qi could sense their little movements. He noticed that these people would subconsciously look at Duan Zhonglin when they spoke or did things. Even Mr. Wu had looked at Duan Zhonglin several times when he was slandering Yuan blue and white porcelain as a fake.
While Duan Zhonglin was speaking, the attention of those extras was also on Duan Zhonglin. They were very experienced in setting the pace and inciting the people around them.
But the problem is, Shen Qi can't understand why Duan Zhonglin did this?
You might say that Duan Zhonglin was targeting him, but looking at Duan Zhonglin's reaction, he obviously didn't know that these precious cultural relics were donated by Shen Qi, so there was no such thing as targeting him at all.
Taking a step back, even if Duan Zhonglin knew the inside story, he should also know Shen Qi's reputation, so why would he do this?
Could it be that Duan Zhonglin, like Yang Ji, is also Shen Qi's enemy?
How could such a coincidence happen in the world?
I just can't understand what happened today.
Shen Qi looked at Wang Huiwen, "Who is this Duan Zhonglin? Does he have any grudge against your Wang family?"
Wang Huiwen hurriedly explained, "The Duan family is quite powerful in the capital and can rival our Wang family. We have had some business frictions, but we are far from enemies. I think he's doing this more to show goodwill and win over Yu Shen, hoping to use Yu Shen's influence to gain benefits."
Shen Qi nodded, agreeing with Wang Huiwen's statement. Since he couldn't guess why Duan Zhonglin did this, he decided not to guess and just ask directly.
After all, Duan Zhonglin's actions have implicated Shen Qi, and he has even been throwing dirty water on Shen Qi. This cannot be tolerated.
